Preparing For War

 

Right in front of the eyes, ears, and every other sense, the preparations by the current administration for going into a civil war are being laid out one a rapid-fire series of events after another. The creation of the new ICE operational force with selected mean-spirited and punishing damaged humans.  The allowances of having such disguised murderers able to be anonymous with faces covered and no revelation of identities.  The creation of barely disguised torture centers, supposedly intended to house migrants waiting to be deported, but are intended to house and operate on anyone disagreeing with the supreme leader.  Putting the military up against the civilian population in U.S. cities to alienate and anger them against the public when the public protests.

With all my international experience in the CIA and Department of State under discussion last night, I was asked about how long we have until the civil war erupts.  I answered my best shot. Once the republicans cement the theft results of the mid-term elections coming up and the ejection of the poor from medical, homelessness, food subsidies, and more, the combination of liberal anger, the great bereft portion of the population cast out and down, and the growing use of blatant military occupation and force will only need a flash point.  The USA’s mass media, sold out and lying, keep the population from being warned of what’s coming.

The last civil war was fought over the same evil-generated movements and inhuman torture and degradation of a weak and defenseless part of society.  750 thousand died.  2% of the population. War is coming to the USA, and 2% this time could easily exceed 7,000,000.  A ridiculous ‘peace plan’ is forced down Ukraine’s throat, while in Gaza, the Israeli government and military continue to commit the death-camp style elimination of the Palestinians and around their expanding settlements. Who would ever have believed that the Jews in Israel, after surviving the holocaust, would turn around and use that horror as a primer for doing the same thing to others?

No peace plan can succeed in Ukraine, even in giving up part of a country to such an oppressor as Putin and his broken-down country and culture.  The U.S. and Great Britain guaranteed Ukraine’s freedom once before to get it to give up its nuclear arsenal.  Ukraine complied, never for a second believing that the U.S. and Great Britain would go back on their promises, with they did.  Why would Ukraine trust anything any leader of the U.S. said again? There would be no wart there if Ukraine still had its nuclear weapons.  How about simply giving them nuclear weapons again?  The arming and use of the U.S. military to ‘take back’ the inner cities across America may well cause a flash point that could lead to insurrection even before the 35,000,000 citizens lose their medical care and any food assistance right after the coming midterms next year.

The questions become not of whether there will be a civil war or not, but when it will begin, and then how many are going to die.  Even without a war inside the country, everyone should pay attention to how many men and women came out of Vietnam with terribly disabling PTSD.  Quietly, the Border Patrol, ICE, local and federal police, and now the military will be forced to live with the brutality they are applying to immigrants and citizens alike.  Those young people will commit violence, but will, in doing so, be signing their mental death warrants to be served thirty or forty years later. Even though it’s accepted today that horrid, shameful activity can and often does cause terminal moral damage to those who’ve participated…in reality, the affliction of PTSD is considered a weakness by an unknowing and many times uncaring public.

Get ready, the USA has chosen to get off a merry-go-round type of ride through life and swap that analogous ride for that of a roller coaster…the biggest and wildest roller coaster ride of all time, and you will be aboard for it.
