The question is no longer whether there will be a civil conflict in America. With the end of Roe, the DHS has indeed released a warning of civil unrest… The question is how the sides will divide, and who will prevail…
As reported by Guardian:
The cracks in the foundations of the United States are widening, rapidly and on several fronts. The overturning of Roe v Wade has provoked a legitimacy crisis no matter what your politics.
For the right, the leaking of the draft memo last month revealed the breakdown of bipartisanship and common purpose within the institution. For the left, it demonstrated the will of dubiously selected Republican justices to overturn established rights that have somewhere near 70% to 80% political support.
Accelerating political violence, like the attack in Buffalo, increasingly blurs the line between the mainstream political conservative movement and outright murderous insanity. The question is no longer whether there will be a civil conflict in the United States. The question is how the sides will divide, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and how those strengths and weaknesses will determine the outcome.
The right wing has been imagining a civil war, publicly, since at least the Obama administration. Back in 2016, when it looked like Hillary Clinton would win the election, then Kentucky governor Matt Bevin described the possibility in apocalyptic terms: “The roots of the tree of liberty are watered by what? The blood. Of who? The tyrants, to be sure. But who else? The patriots. Whose blood will be shed? It may be that of those in this room. It might be that of our children and grandchildren,” he told supporters at the Values Voter Summit.
The possibility of civil war has long been a mainstay of rightwing talk radio. Needless to say, when the right conjures these fantasies of cleansing violence, they tend to fantasize their own victory.
Steve King, while still a congressman from Iowa, tweeted an image of red and blue America at war, with the line: “Folks keep talking about another civil war. One side has about 8tn bullets, while the other side doesn’t know which bathroom to use.”
Any time anyone acts on their violent rhetoric, the rightwing politicians and media elites are appalled that anyone would connect what they say to what others do. “We need to understand we’re under attack, and we need to understand this is 21st-century warfare and get on a war footing,” Alex Jones said in the lead-up to the Capitol riot.
Prepare now! That’s the best water filter for your home…
According to a New York Times series, Tucker Carlson has articulated the theory of white replacement more than 400 times on his show. Calls to violence are normal in rightwing media. Calls to resist white replacement are normal in rightwing media. The inevitable result is the violent promotion of resistance to white replacement.
Republican politicians like Arizona state senator Wendy Rogers and New York congresswoman Elise Stefanik are outraged when their one plus one turns out to equal two, but their outrage is increasingly unbelievable, even to themselves. America is witnessing a technique used in political struggles all over the world. Movements devoted to the overthrow of elected governments tend to divide into armed and political wings, which gives multiple avenues to approach their goals as well as the cover of plausible deniability for their violence.
The leftwing American political class, incredibly, continues to cling to its defunct institutional ideals. Democrats under Biden have wasted the past two years on fictions of bipartisanship and forlorn hopes of some kind of restoration of American trust. But do you trust the senile man?
When violence like Buffalo hits, they can do little more than plead with the other side to reconsider the horror they’re unleashing, and offer obvious lectures about the poison of white supremacy.
Since January 6 didn’t wake them up to exactly what they’re facing, it’s unclear what might ever wake them up. The left has not made the psychological adjustment to a conflict situation yet. But it won’t be able to maintain the fantasy of normalcy for much longer.

The conflict, which on the surface seems so unequal, with an emboldened and violent right against a demoralized and disorganized left, is not as one-sided as it looks at first. It is unequal but it is also highly asymmetrical. The right has the weaponry and an electoral system weighted overwhelmingly in its favor. The left has money and tech.
Steve King was, in a sense, absolutely correct about the armed status of the two sides. Half of Republicans own a gun, compared with 21% of Democrats. But that gap, though wide, is closing. In 2020, 40% of gun buyers were new buyers. There was a 58% rise in gun sales to African Americans in 2020 over 2019. In 2021, women were nearly half of new gun buyers, an astonishing statistic.
The real structural advantage the right possesses is not military but electoral. By 2040, 30% of the country will control 70% of the Senate. The institutions of the US government distinctly favor those who want to destroy it. Every Democrat who fights to end the filibuster is fighting for their own future irrelevance, or rather for the acceleration of their own irrelevance.
Two essential facts of the 2020 election should give leftwing partisans hope, however. Biden-voting counties amounted to 70% of GDP, while 60% of college-educated voters chose Biden. That is to say, the left-democratic wing of America is the productive and educated part of the country. One way of looking at the American political condition of the moment is that the leftwing part of the US has built the networks that have left behind the rightwing part. The networks are the left’s strength.
The struggle over abortion has already revealed how the divide plays out. Anti-abortion factions control the pseudo-legitimate court system and the poorer states in the Union. Pro-choice factions have responded, first of all, with their superior financial resources. Oregon started the Oregon Reproductive Equity Fund with $15m. New York is establishing a fund to make the state a “safe haven”. California governor Gavin Newsom plans to add $57m to the state budget to deal with out-of-state patients.
At the same time, pro-choice organizers are turning to technology. The Atlantic recently reported on networks using “encrypted, open-source Zoom alternatives” to provide women with support for their procedures. Already, anonymous web access to self-managed abortions is available, just as it has been for many years in some restrictive jurisdictions.
This divide isn’t just American. As the forces of the world split between a liberal-democratic elite and authoritarian populists, the same asymmetry can be seen in the struggle everywhere. In Canada, the convoy that held the city of Ottawa hostage was defeated, in the end, not by force, but by money and technology.
Other countries responded to similar convoys with direct assaults – the French teargassed their convoy immediately and the United States called in the national guard before they had even left for Washington. But in Canada, the government, not wanting to have the blood of children on its hands, weakened the convoy’s financial networks by simply turning off their fundraising accounts.
A small band of anonymous hackers also tormented the convoy organizers by disrupting their communication lines. They infiltrated their Zello channels, blaring the hardcore gay pornography country anthem Ram Ranch. The “Ram Ranch Resistance” almost single-handedly undid the protests at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor.

This same divide has played out on an international level, in the struggle between Russia and Ukraine. Russia, overwhelmed by resentment because it cannot meaningfully compete in an integrated 21st-century economy, has devolved into a conservative authoritarianism with no other outlet than violence.
But Ukraine had better access to the global financial and media networks. The reaction, from the forces of the democratic west, has been to cut Russia off from financial systems and to provide Ukraine with superior technology. Technology and financial networks have proven the match, at the very least, of brute force.
Incipient civil conflict in the United States won’t be formal armies struggling for territory. The techniques of both sides are clarifying. Republican officials will use the supreme court, or whatever other political institutions they control, to push their agenda no matter how unpopular with the American people.
Meanwhile, their calls for violence, while never direct, create a climate of rage that solidifies into regular physical assaults on their enemies. The technical term for this process is stochastic terrorism; the attack in Buffalo is a textbook example.
The leftwing resistance is more nascent but is also taking shape: if you’re rich and you want to stay living in a democracy, the time has come to pony up. If you’re an engineer, the time has come to organize. The conclusion is not at all determined. Neither side has an absolute advantage. Neither side can win easily. But one fact is clear. The battle has been joined, and it will be fought everywhere.

Red vs Blue; right vs left; At the end politicians are all the same; they want power and use power to get more power. They don’t want to help us… They want to enslave us! They want this left-right polarization to better control us… [Guardian]

IAEA deadline for saving Iran nuke deal passes as US amps up sanctions
Last week, the US, Iran and the European powers broke a three-month freeze in negotiations by holding multiple days of talks in Doha, Qatar, but no progress was made.
Thanks alot no deals with terrorist regime of Ayatoolahs that British Queen and Jimmy Carter installed. Hands off USA
Rather see National Divorce than civil war II. Seems more logical to have an amicable separation. If you look at the Red v. Blue counties map, then it is clear who is the majority in America. The counties map looks about 80% red.
The last sentence in this story report has it correct.This is a political shell game.This is about control pure and simple.
The pro life finally forced the justices to rule.The original case became muddled and very convoluted.Even the justices back then didn’t understand why it was brought to their courts
Truthfully it is a States right issue.Truth be told it shouldn’t be an issue at all.The courts have no business interfering in the intimate lives of its citizens without due and just cause.Unless the citizen is incompetent the medical facility doesn’t pass health and safety laws or the individual is being coerced or forced against their will or the pregnancy is far enough along to be truly viable without the mother there is no precedent rule exc to make it so.Most of the argument of the prolife concerns d&x.This procedure is used when the child is dead already has major head swelling and isn’t expected to live.This allows the mother to deliver normally so to minimize trauma from surgery(both physical and mental)Many states don’t allow voluntary third trimester abortions.Only for medical reasons
Last but not least is that physicians in many states have conscious clauses that protect them from being forced to perform abortions.
This is why I say this is all about control and forced enragement.
Even High School Students Escape Iran
Since the Iranian revolution in 1979 one of the worst things that have happened is the acceleration in brain drain. Each new year, we are reading more concerning statistics in the state-run media.
This dark era started after many of the country’s intellectuals voiced protest over increasing repression and declining living conditions.
In response, Khomeini said, “Why are you yelling so much about the escape of the elites. To hell that they are escaping. Those who went to the universities and speak about science and culture, let them go because the universities are the root of all these miseries that have happened to humanity and the blows delivered to Islam.”
With this mentality, Khomeini and the troglodyte clerics pushed Iran into regression and destruction.
Four decades since, not only has this ominous development not come to an end, but has increased day by day, and Iran is losing its most valuable social treasures.
In the past several years, we have witnessed the loss of elites at the university level, but now, unfortunately, the brain drain has spread to high school students, who are leaving in droves.
The reason: is because they see that nearly all university graduates are jobless, addicted, and face a dark future. Therefore, they decide to leave the country despite all the difficulties and dangers in the hope of a better life abroad so as to prevent their abilities and talents to go waste in the country under the rule of the mullahs.
In the not-too-distant future, Iran will face a shortage of specialists in all fields, such as doctors, nurses, engineers, artists, and others.
While World War 3 is in full progress and Iran attack will soon be happening indeed. Why we do not protest against WW3 ?
They doped us with row vs wade?
Roe decision brings us incredible CLARITY on the LUCIFERIANS running the abortion child sacrifice cult
(Natural News) It’s all the same pool now: the left-wing vaccine pushers, abortion instigators, LGBT indoctrinators, child groomers, transgender genital mutilators, pedophiles and luciferians… they have become a homogenized group of death cult practitioners who feed on children while working to destroy every Christian person or pro-life on planet Earth.
There is no legitimacy problem or argument with SCOTUS. There’s a literacy or honesty problem with Liberals and their lackeys in the Media. SCOTUS is a fully equal branch of Government. Equal to the Presidency, equal to the Congress. 3 equal Branches: Legislative, Executive, Judicial; these are the separation of powers that are set out by the Constitution. Without the Constitution you don’t have a United States of America, a Republic, literally. Without the separation of powers you don’t have a democracy, literally. The Liberals, Media and Deep State working deliberately to undermine what makes us a country and a democracy is but one of the many ways these lowlifes are working to move us into some kind of Un-American, authoritarian, globalist, socialist Borg.

The Far Left has been responsible for 100% of the violence in this country! Even on Jan. 6th where the corrupt and criminal cops murdered 4 people!
This is the most biased thing I have ever read! The Fake News like this needs to be target #1 for Death!
From the Guardian story “Accelerating political violence, like the attack in Buffalo,…”.
That attack was by a member of the LEFT.
When We on the Right ‘decide’ to fix America’s problems, 600 + million Weapons and BILLIONS of rounds of ammo will get everybody’s attention.
Until than, be glad that the Right is non Violent.
