Is the US Headed Towards Another Civil War? | Barbara F. Walter

Based on her work for a CIA task force aimed at predicting civil wars, political scientist Barbara F. Walter examines the rise in extremism and threats to democracies around the globe -- and paints an unsettling picture of the increasing likelihood of a second civil war in the United States.

@stux A second Civil War would require a second Confederacy, or some similar rogue government capable of raising funds, organizing an army, and defending territory.

Problem is, America's would-be rebels aren't concentrated in the Southern states like last time. And the modern US military is much more formidable.

The coming crisis will probably be an escalating series of terrorist attacks by so-called accelerationists hoping to start a civil war.

The problem in the US is increasingly concentrated wealth and power, and the wealthy and powerful do not want to share their wealth and power with the people. One of the ways they prevent the people from rising up is they try to divide the people by race or other identities and get us to fight among ourselves.

That woman, Barbara Waters, is a Washington insider. She works for the wealthy and powerful. She's been on The Council on Foreign Relations for over a decade. She is one of them.

She does not want to share power with the people, so what she is doing is she is trying to frame the upcoming revolution as a civil war between ethnic groups in the US which is absurd. She's trying to turn a peaceful, non-violent revolution into a violent civil war.

She said that the US was officially downgraded from a democracy three times but she didn't say who did that. She said the US was officially added to the “watchlist”. Who’s watchlist? Which “official” did that? She said the CIA isn't allowed to monitor the US but somehow she says that her group, which she says works for the CIA was doing that.

And final she says the fix to the US sliding away from democracy is to take away free speech. This hack for 202 area code is trying to stop the upcoming revolution by causing a civil war. That's exactly what she's trying to do.
