Who Wins in America's Cold Civil War?
Make no mistake, we are at war. It’s a cultural war, an ideological war, a religious war, and a war for freedom versus tyranny. It’s a cold civil war, but a war, nonetheless.
In most wars, there is a defined moment of victory. In the Second World War, the Allies demanded unconditional surrender from the Axis powers. Hostilities ceased when Japan—with the one condition that Hirohito remain as emperor—acquiesced. The wars that the U.S. have fought since have been ambiguous; there was no defined moment—or exit strategy—for victory.
The Civil War, too, had defined goals for victory. The South wanted to leave the Union; the Union wanted to preserve the integrity of the United States. No ambiguity there.
In this new cold civil war, the Left has their vision for victory and that includes the destruction of all that was and complete manipulation of all that will be. If they had their druthers, opposition would be locked up and competition would be thrown asunder, beneath the feet of their maniacal march to their believed utopia. But this is the belief of the rank-and-file revolutionaries; they do not understand that they are but pawns in the totalitarians’ game for total victory.
In this rather bizarre confluence between Marxists in the U.S. and fascists in the international order, the victory is achieved by subjugating anyone who stands against these two forces. It is strange when those who abhor capitalism and those who seek to use capitalism for tyranny have formed an alliance, but there it is.
The powerful NGO, the World Economic Forum, has embraced the cultural and social debasement of democracy by initiating racist diversity, equity, and inclusion narratives that offer cover for the insane Left, which now occupies most of the Western governments and their institutions. They propose and attempt to enact inexplicable policies that are either naïve and infantile in their formation or are designed to fail as a means to collapse the world order to usher in world totalitarianism.
An example is the push to defund police. If one on the Left truly believes this is about “social justice” and “minority equity”, then the chaos that has been unleashed upon major cities is justified. A George and Alex Soros-funded school, W.E.B Du Bois Movement School for Abolition & Reconstruction located in the heart of Philadelphia—one of the Left-run cities nearing complete anarchy—is to muster the troops for the final push to win their declared war on the Right.
Eric Lendrum, writing in American Greatness, exposed their objectives. “The school denounces America as a country that was created by ‘overlapping forces of colonial dispossession and genocide, racialized chattel slavery, and violent patriarchal domination, whose extractive brutality toward humanity and nature alike is quickly rendering our planet uninhabitable.’”
Of course this assertion is complete nonsense.
“Our students [of the Abolition school] are aspiring revolutionaries and abolitionists of all ages and backgrounds who want to acquire the analytical tools and practical skills necessary to set political change into motion and sustain it through struggle,” the school declares on its website. “But we seek above all to help build the leadership capacity of organic intellectuals, those most directly impacted by oppressive structures—policing, mass incarceration, environmental racism, and poverty—and those closest to the struggles to dismantle them.” [Emphasis mine]
The use of words like abolition and slavery are purposeful to their designs. They declared this civil war before anyone on the Right even looked up to see what all of the dustup was about. The actions from the Left and their mindless dolts is to use slogans, training, community organizing, and the deployment of fear to change society, to win the civil war. It is becoming obvious to those on the Right, and apolitical persons as well, that the schemes to make society “equitable” lack logic and reasoning. “…organic intellectuals, those most directly impacted by oppressive structures…”
Oh, cry me a river.
Another example, of course, is the religious fanaticism of Climate Change!, which has been covered in depth on these pages. But, as has been witnessed by all, over the past thirty years, Climate Change! is a mantra that covers all perceived ills in the universe. Their remedies are to electrify everything with electric generation to be completely free from carbon dioxide exhaust and yet, during record and continued heat, I received the below notice on a near daily basis:
Due to continued low wind-power generation and high demand, operating reserves for ERCOT are expected to be low in the afternoon and evening. As a result, ERCOT is asking Texans to conserve electricity use, if safe to do so... [Emphasis mine]
Their religion requires penitence. Fanatical believers require everyone to sacrifice or die.
And that’s the point: the Left is religious in nature and they see this cold civil war as holy. One of the best definitions I’ve found, thus far, concerning the Left’s religious nature was by David Samuels writing in Tablet Magazine:
Progressive theology is built on a mythic hierarchy of group victimhood which has endured throughout time, up until the present day; the injuries that the victims have suffered are so massive, so shocking, and so manifestly unjust that they dwarf the present. Such injuries must be remedied immediately, at nearly any cost. The people who do the work of remedying these injustices, by whatever means, are the heroes of history. Conversely, the sins of the chief oppressors of history, white men, are so dark that nothing short of abject humiliation and capitulation can begin to approach justice.
It goes to say that nothing about the terms of progressive theology is original. It is the theology of Soviet communism, with class struggle replaced by identity politics.
The Marxists busy bees in the Democrat Party don’t really seem to have a complete vision for victory. It is about revenge for some real transgressions (that have been addressed and rectified) but, predominantly, it’s about slaying imaginary dragons.
The WEFers, on the other hand, know exactly what victory looks like. They hold it overhead, as if performing an exorcism: By the power of Climate Change! I compel you!
They have 15-minute cities, bug powder, electric vehicles, digital currencies, vaccine passports, and more. They have The Great Reset. They are prepared, they have their vision, and they use the worthless snowflakes of the Democrat Party—as well as the leftist green parties in Europe—to move their agenda along toward fruition.
How do you defeat a fanatic? To defeat the fascist powers in Germany, Italy, and Japan, tens of millions of lives were expended. We can’t go down that road, though, that’s what people like Bill Gates and George Soros demand.
Fighting back
It has been a losing game for the Right since Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal. That was the ultimate in the state exerting control over everyday Americans. It was the first time, at a national level, that middle America gave up on the American Dream. It was the first time that a presidential administration was dedicated to instituting wide ranging, unconstitutional government edicts. With FDR’s admiration of, first Mussolini, then Hitler, then Stalin, it was also the first time our nation looked to the worst of what Europe has to offer. Now, the American Left is deferring to the WEF and Europe’s green agenda as our path to salvation; they are looking to a socialist/fascist model, once again, to impose upon America.
And so, it comes back to vision. At what point do we see victory in this cold civil war? As smart and prescient as I am (heavy sarcasm), I don’t know. I don’t have any answers. I think all voters allowed imbeciles to break our country and I don’t really see a way to fix it. Is it game over?
Unfortunately, yes; it is time to hold onto the saddle horn and ride the bucking bronco until the very end.
When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic. Sell not liberty to purchase power.

The issue, as I see it, is not necessarily the holy war as much as the destruction that has already been inflicted. The damage is so tremendous that the federal government cannot survive much longer. This is a simple truth that very few have grasped.
We all should be familiar with the national debt—$31+ trillion and counting. We cannot pay that sum back; it is mathematically impossible. When considering the $130+ trillion in unfunded liabilities (Medicare, Social Security, public sector pensions and benefits, etcetera), the $161+ trillion will crush the federal government under its own weight. Some suggest that the actual total obligations of the federal government exceed $230 trillion.
Last year, our total national GDP was $25 trillion. Even if, somehow with a bit of pixie dust, we could siphon off all of our GDP to pay our obligations, it still wouldn’t make a dent when considering compounding interest.
Federal government tax revenues, for this year, are around $4.7 trillion (twenty percent of our GDP). Our deficit—and thus added debt—will be around $1 trillion. Simply servicing the debt—the accumulated interest—will consume a third of our budget; and with the highest interest rates since the nineties and aughts, forget it. There are no gimmicks or creative accounting or growing our economy enough to save this nation.

So, with that in mind, what does a victory in the American cold civil war look like?
Ed Dowd is a former analyst and one of the most successful portfolio managers for BlackRock. He left the employ of the Darth Vader of the Dark Side and started an analytical company for the investment class. He has seen the light—or in today’s parlance, he’s swallowed the red pill. He gained some notoriety during the covid scam in exposing the sudden deaths of young athletes after the introduction of the covid “vaccine”. He has shown, through statistical analysis, that there are extraordinary levels of excess deaths over what would normally be expected. He attributes these excesses to the vaccine.
What’s most interesting about Dowd, however, is his outlook for our future in the United States. He says the Left is practicing “full spectrum deception”. He also suggests that the world’s economic decline will include a Mad Max scenario. In other words, economic collapse will destroy all government’s ability to protect and defend normal, everyday people. When that happens, society collapses and all that is left is what people are willing to do for themselves. In other words, a dystopian future where it’s every man and woman for themselves.
Dowd does not believe that the Mad Max scenario is something that will happen overnight; it will be gradual over the next five years and then… poof! He points to the spiral of destruction that has become our Blue cities. We’ve all seen these random flash mobs that charge into retail stores and steal everything not nailed down. What is now becoming apparent is that these mobs are not random and are actually criminal enterprises orchestrated by Mexican cartels. Dowd believes that swathes of the nation will be controlled by such warlords.
While this scenario is quite possible, the absolute destruction of the federal government is certain. The budgetary concerns are not something that can be continually kicked down the road, for the road dead ends.
And so, I suggest, there is no victory, no peace to this American cold civil war. With this doom and gloom, it suggests that we head for the hills but that’s not what Americans do; we fight till the last battle is to be won. We cannot accept the complete surrender of our major cities to the hoards of barbarians at the gate. We fortify the governments we do control and prepare for a world without the federal government. We hold the cabal in contempt and push back at each ridiculous attempt to change society. We do not succumb to the holy Climate Change! warriors; we hit back with scientific facts. When the nation finally tips into the abyss, let those on the left go first, for they deserve nothing less than a slow, aggravating descent into the bowels of hell.
Something I missed: "The U.S. government now pays $758 million daily in interest expense (annualized $277 billion)" while tax revenue to the federal government decreases.
