Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
In the 1990s, while attending the United States Military Academy at West Point, I had instructors who had recently returned from deployments to Rwanda. They told us stories about what they had witnessed during one of the most horrific chapters of modern human history.
Our jaws dropped.
Professor David Betz, a respected military strategist at King’s College London, warns that Europe is heading toward civil war—and the warning signs are getting harder to ignore. From political factionalization to vulnerable infrastructure, his red-team analysis paints an ugly picture of Western civilization’s future. Having witnessed the aftermath of ethnic conflict in Bosnia and Kosovo, I think Betz is probably right about the trajectory. But here’s the real question: Why are we still arguing about whether catastrophe is coming instead of figuring out how to survive it, minimize the destruction, and rebuild afterward? History doesn’t grade on a curve.
When the history books are written, every war needs a start date. For America’s second civil war, I suggest September 1, 2022.
My personal freedoms as well as my family’s safety and opportunities are a bubble in the South in a bubble that is American Civilization that is in a bubble of the Anglo-Sphere that is in the bubble of Western Civilization.
It’s worth fighting for here and abroad.
Slavery was a moral evil, but that doesn’t mean every story we’ve inherited about it is historically accurate. Most Southern households did not own slaves. A common soldier couldn’t afford one. Former slave owners were generally not compensated after emancipation. Industrialization didn’t make slavery obsolete—it often made it more profitable. The Civil War itself was far more complex than the slogans we use to describe it. History deserves better than mythology. We can condemn slavery without reservation while still insisting on facts over folklore, because understanding the past honestly is the only way to understand the present clearly.
The Democrat Party is no longer a legitimate political party, and it hasn’t been since at least Obama.
Since after the Civil War, or more accurately, the War Between the States, the Democrat Party has slowly evolved into a treasonous opposition. Their ‘dreams’ for the nation had departed from what the founders had in mind.
How many states in open rebellion does it take before Democrats start the second civil war? We “Get Real” pundits discuss the pro-illegal aliens riots and the eight states who are close to open rebellion against the United States.
Bosnia’s collapse wasn’t ancient history. It wasn’t a medieval tribal feud. It wasn’t inevitable. It was a functional, modern, educated society that disintegrated in less than two years — not because of poverty, not because of famine, not because of foreign invasion — but because its political factions became so polarized that neighbors stopped seeing each other as citizens and started seeing each other as enemies.
A couple of years ago I started pondering: What will the last straw be? What will launch us into our next bloody civil war – national choice by violence? It was a really stupid thought experiment – based on the wrong premise.
Yesterday, six Democrats^ in the US Senate and US House released an ad urging military members to defy Commander in Chief Trump’s orders, that is, to mutiny. Democrats are trying to create a trigger (Step No. 8) which will cause civil war.
We all know the iconic photo: an old Union veteran in blue shaking hands with a Confederate in gray at the 1913 Gettysburg reunion. It’s become the symbol of forgiveness — proof that America “healed” fifty years after the Civil War. But the truth underneath it is far more complicated.
History, they say, is written by the victors—and edited by their public-school textbook committees. So let’s talk about the War of Northern Aggression (as my Southern friends call it) or, as the winners prefer, the “Civil War.” Either way, it’s when Uncle Sam went from lean constitutional minimalist to big-boned bureaucratic overlord.
As our rental car eased into Gettysburg, past the brick-and-plank storefronts selling tourist trinkets, women’s fashion, artisan tacos, funnel cakes, and free CBD samples, my imagination was running amok.
When the smoke of the American Civil War cleared in 1865, the United States was a nation still armed, restless, and redefining its purpose.
When they “Cry Havoc, and let slip the dogs of war” again on our soil, the inheritance of American patriots – Robert Holland, Jesse Bowden, and other Memorial Day kin like GG-Grandfather Henderson, G-Great Uncle Maley, et al. – will be to fight and win for our freedom, family, and faith. To be left alone.
The greatest risk to America comes after a Trump victory and before the inauguration.
Ask a random person why the U.S. Civil War was fought, and the answer will almost certainly be “slavery.” That’s it. One word.
If “Red Dawn” were remade in 2024, the story would look different in terms of tactics and technology, but its core message of resisting an invading force would remain the same.
The next American civil war — if there is one — will find Americans facing MS-13 and Hamas because the left knows that their boys in Chicago couldn’t hit a barn door.
Our once-strong nation is now a fractured shell of its former self, with deep political divides splitting families, friends, and communities.
