A timely piece. I'd bet that everyone who reads this newsletter has thought long and hard about the prospects of a civil war breaking out.

IMO there will be no civil war. Washington lacks troops that it can rely upon. It lacks senior officers who are capable of inspiring the sort of loyalty necessary for anything like it. It most certainly lacks the political leadership capable of managing a war. The combat wing of the military is simply not turning its guns on mainstream America. Who would risk violent death to suppress the domestic opponents of anyone like Biden, Harris, Obama or either of the Clintons?

Washington does enjoy an abundance of malice and ambition. The regime will certainly direct violence against the people, but this will come from SWAT teams employed by agencies within the civil administration itself and by de facto irregulars and parodic paramilitaries such as ANTIFA.

Washington already covertly sponsors criminal violence on a widespread basis to ethnically cleanse key cities of whites. This serves the usual suspects with a long term political or financial interest in the eventual gentrification initiatives. But the flight to relative safety strengthens the resolve of the surviving regional forces of sense and order.

The regime also already incites lethal violence against critics and dissidents in selected areas. At least two MAGA supporters were murdered, one in Portland and another in (I think) Denver. In the case of the former the authorities did not bother to investigate, in the latter charges were reduced.

All of this is sinister and it is likely that Washington will escalate. We are seeing a post-modern parody of the Reconstruction era when a handful of Scallywags and Carpetbaggers, supported by the Freedmen's Bureau, presided over widespread low intensity violence to subdue the civilian population via a form of anarcho-tyranny.

We shall also see further mass immigration, legal and illegal, to secure the political interests that seek to create an Afro-Saxon version of Brazil across North America: zones of functional and productive society surrounded by slums, favelas, No-Go Zones and a rural and Rust Belt hinterland constrained by the threat of state violence and a form of surveillance capitalism designed to control the helots.

Yet the threat of real military force per se is political theatre. Ugly. Thuggish. But such threats are a sign of desperation and abject weakness. Lincoln had a burgeoning industrial behemoth and a loyal army at his disposal...Dark Brandon has a hollowed out service economy in decline and an armed forces burdened by affirmative action, feminism and gender diversity.

The real danger is from the intelligence community. Until that splits, with a least a portion turning on the regime, we shall see escalating levels of violence, applied to more and more of the USA, but it will stop short of actual civil war.

Regarding trading competence for reliability by hiring third world auxiliaries. Into the military - that's the basic strategy of bioleninism as applied to every other institution they've subverted, so why not the military too? That might not work out so well when shooting is involved, however. It's one thing in the DMV or the HR department, another when your minions are breaking expensive equipment they don't know how to maintain while their numbers get chewed to bits by guerillas in the heartland.

Thank you. The good news in all this bad news, is their manufactured narrative that does not in any way reflect 'reality' also does not reflect how the majority of Americans actually feels. They are looking desperate, really desperate and so perhaps is quickening waking up.

Lots more ugly coming, but I have no doubt, this all falls apart and something 'real' replaces it.
