I have been reading several articles recently that bring civil war into the realm of “thinkable possibility.” According to Milo Yiannopoulos, the left-wingers of American society have already ignited a Civil War. With the social engineering and indoctrination already taking place in our schools, it actually doesn’t seem too far-fetched. [In an interview with Alex Jones, Yiannopoulos says:]
Facebook’s gonna get firebombed, CNN people are gonna be attacked, and we don’t say that with any pleasure….” Milo went on to say that “there is only one inevitable consequence when the architecture of civil society…and reality [is assaulted]”
And Yiannopoulos is not the only one who has taken notice.
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, who has been at the forefront of looking into major disinformation campaigns such as those of the vaccine industry, agrees.
Chris Hedges comes at our current state from a slightly more philosophical angle, but saying the similar things. When only the few run a society, they warp its “reputable and authoritative“ institutions for their own benefit.
Oligarchic rule… cares nothing for competency, intelligence, honesty, rationality, self-sacrifice or the common good. They pervert, deform and dismantle systems of power to serve their immediate interests, squandering the future for short-term personal gain. …
Once oligarchs take power, rational, prudent and thoughtful responses to social, economic and political problems are ignored… The late stage of every civilization is characterized by the “sophistry of oligarchs”, who ravage the decaying carcass of the state.
“Sophistry” was a new vocabulary word. Had to look it up. These are the false arguments intended to confuse or deceive the population that enable ongoing plunder: Like the NSA surveilling the entire population to “protect democracy” — when the actual intent is to establish Orwellian control of thought and speech.
Charles Hugh Smith offers some similar thoughts:
A new winter of discontent is chilling the air. …. the benefits and power have gone disproportionately to the few at the top of the wealth-power pyramid.
The status quo power structures are deaf to the discontent of the common people, and respond with blandishments (Universal Basic Income, etc.), propaganda and a spectrum of repression.
CHS continues quoting Chris Hedges:
The two greatest visions of a future dystopia were George Orwell’s ‘1984’ and Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World.’ …. Would we be, as Orwell wrote, dominated by a repressive surveillance and security state that used crude and violent forms of control? Or would we be, as Huxley envisioned, entranced by entertainment and spectacle, captivated by technology and seduced by profligate consumption to embrace our own oppression? It turns out Orwell and Huxley were both right. Huxley saw the first stage of our enslavement. Orwell saw the second.
…While we were entertained, the regulations that once kept predatory corporate power in check were dismantled, the laws that once protected us were rewritten … we are skillfully manipulated by lies and illusions to one where we are overtly controlled.
When our authoritative institutions lie to the people as a normal part of day to day function, how can the average person tell what is true?
Poster Comment:
The Civil War starts after the Nationwide Food Riots rips America apart. In the 1930s 3 million Americans starved to death. In 1929 there were only 123 million Americans. The Liberal Elite decided to add 200 million people through legal and illegal immigration and their progeny. They did while closing 70,000 manufacturing plants since China joined the WTO in 2000. We will never balance our budget because so many immigrants are either on welfare or in the criminal justice system and our tax base was eroded when we shipped jobs overseas. And we will never balance our trade because we have to import raw materials.
Walrasian economists said we would face rising rents and lowering wages when we went past 150 million people and had to pay for imports with exports. Except we never did that. We printed more money. When money printing ends, wages and pensions are cut 50%, we will balance our trade but we will have Nationwide Food Riots, Race Wars and a Civil War. And Americans will die by the tens of millions.
