*"The separatist instinct - even black yearbooks and black parents' associations at
integrated schools - should be fought. Those who believe this is one nation and not
a large version of the former Yugoslavia ought to start undermining segregation
wherever it appears."*

Here's a literary version of a second civil war. The April 30, 1995 issue of the Washington Post carried a short story by William Lind (The Washington Post, "Militant Musings", April 30,1995, Sect. 3, p. 3.). Its format was a look back from the year 2050 at a revolution that had swept America just after the turn of the century.

*"The triumph of the Recovery was marked most clearly by the burning of the
Episcopal Bishop of Maine. She was not a particularly bad bishop. She was, in fact,
quite typical of Episcopal bishops of the first quarter of the 21st. Century: agnostic,
compulsively political and radical and given to placing a small idol oflsis on the
altar when she said the communion service. By 2037, when she was tried for heresy,
convicted and burned, she had outlived her era."*

*"It's funny how clearly the American century is marked: 1865 to 1965. The First Civil
War made us one nation. After 1965 and another war, we disunited - deconstructed -
with equal speed into blacks, whites, Hispanics, women, gays, victims, oppressors,
left- handed albinos; you name it. In three decades we covered the distance that had
taken Rome three centuries to cover,"*

As many others, Mr. Lind has noticed the ongoing transformation of America into a thirdworld nation. New York has been called "Calcutta on the Hudson" by some.

*"By the 1990s the place had the stench of a third-world country. The cities were
ravaged by punks, beggars, and bums."*

Mr. Lind story next described how the blacks of Newark, New Jersey declared marshal law in 2009 and began stringing up street criminals. The President sent in the national guard.

"The people of Newark met the troops and begged for their help, and the soldiers either went over or went home. Washington ordered in the 82nd Airborne. The "New York Air Guard painted pine tree insignia on its aircraft and threatened to bomb any federal forces approaching Newark. On May 3, Gov. Ephraim Logan of Vermont told the legislature that the federal government no longer represented the people of the state and asked for a vote of secession. Vermont became a republic the next day."

As I do, Mr. Lind draws a contrast between the nature of our First and second civil wars.

"The first Civil War was, on the whole, a gentlemanly affair, the second one wasn't...it was what Lebanon or Yugoslavia saw in the late 20th century." Mr. Lind also foresees the shelling of cities by artillery, and the revolt in the southwest, with the same results.

*"The Reconquista drove the Angles out of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern
California; the Angles drove the Hispanics out of what was left of the American West.
Blacks and Hispanics in L.A. turned on each other, but there were a lot more Hispanics.
Korean Marines landed in Long Beach to get their people out."*

*"The Deep Greeners took over Oregon...If you weren't one of them, you didn't get a
breathing license, and they tied a plastic bag over your head."*

After the "Deep Greeners" are overthrown, Japan takes over the Northwest and gives the people representation in the Japanese Diet. Northern California winds up as the " Azanian Republic."

*"It made Oregon look rational by comparison. The Azanian government in Berkley was, in its final incarnation, run by a coalition of radical feminists, Maoist guerrillas and militant vegetarians. The only crime was eating meat. The end came after Azania was overrun by animals who, by law, could be neither killed nor eaten."*

Mr. Lind has a "second Confederacy" established by 2017 in the old South, except for southern Florida, I'm on record as giving the advantage to southern blacks. However, I'll allow that the demographic transformation is not yet much advanced in the South. If a hispanic revolt in the southwest touches off ethnic warfare in the south before blacks and poverty drive most whites out (say, about Mr. Lind's 2017), then a second Confederacy seems the better wager.

Canada breaks up and parts of it join our New England states in a new country called Victoria, modeled after the Victorian era of Britain. McGuffy's Reader becomes the standard school text, lawyers are set to work digging potatoes, and criminals who "mugged on Tuesday are hung on Wednesday." Mr. Lind calls this deliberate remake of society to conform to an earlier era "retroculture." Mr. Lind has a point in this prediction. In times of stress, people tend to become strongly tribal and religious. People flock to fighting ideologies, or convert current belief systems into fighting ideologies.

Mr. Lind ends on an optimistic note. Eventually, things settle down except in the southwest where the armies of "Nueva Espana" are fighting the Indian "Aztec Alliance."

Mr. Lind is a noted military writer, was an advisor to presidential candidate Gary Hart, and is currently the director of the Free Congress Foundation. One does have to admit that the truth does have a nasty habit of unfolding as stranger than fiction, and Mr. Lind's projections (and mine!) may pale when when held up against the actual Civil War II which is just around the comer.

This is from an article by former Secretary of State, Lawrence Eagleburger, which appeared in the March, 1996 National Times:

*"Meanwhile, the global process of decentralization proceeds, what is happening in
Bosnia; in Khazia; Spain with their Basques; in the UK with the Scots; is a tendency
toward minimalist nationalism.... This process is happening in the U.S. as well."*

Here's a sign that the military is not unaware of the growing unrest in America. In an article in the January Atlantic Monthly, an article by Thomas E. Ricks reported that Air Force Col. Charles Dunlap had written a remarkable essay whose subject was a military coup d'etat in America. The title: "The origins of the American Military Coup of 2012." I quote the beginning of the article:

*"It is the year 2012. The American military has carried out a successful coup d'etat.
Jailed and awaiting execution for resistance to the coup, a retired military officer
writes to an old comrade, explaining how the coup came about."*

The article notes this remarkable treatise was entered in the National Defense University's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Strategy Essay Competition, and that it essay was selected as co-winner of said competition. Most remarkable of all, its author. Col. Dunlap, was honored by Gen. Colin Powell at the awards ceremony.

And here's another tremor from the military. In the Janu- ary, 1996 Progressive, Peter Cassidy, in an article entitled "Guess Who's the Enemy", (The Progressive, "Guess Who's the Enemy", January, 1996, p. 22,) quoted an Army publication named Tomorrow's Missions. In this publication. Lieutenant General J.H. Binford Peay III asserted that in the Army of the 1990s:

*"Military forces are required to provide domestic national assistance, such as
internal peacekeeping and antidrug operations and support of civil authorities to
maintain stability in a rapidly changing America."*

Here's yet another indication that our military is being recast as a Soviet-style MVD Internal Security force. The Green Panthers are a secessionist group advocating an Independent "Stoners Homeland" in the Pacific Northwest for marijuana users. Their publication, The Revolutionary Toker, had an article titled, "The Calm Before The Storm Troopers" (The Revolutionary Toker, Vol. 6, No. 2. (1996). The Green Panther's address is PO Box 31231, Cincinnati, OH 45231, phone (513)522-6264).

The article concerned Gen. Barry McCaffi-ey (US Army Ret.) who was made the head of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. The article contained this unsettling information about Gen. McCaffrey:

*"His doctoral thesis at the Army War College, Use of Standard Operational Planning
to Quell Domestic Civil Disturbances, won him his third star. In his thesis he applies
various military scenarios within cities to suppress civil unrest."*

Note that the much-promoted "war on drugs" provides an expedient vehicle for the establishment to desensitize the military to domestic operations, and to bring up the military's heavy firepower for the inevitable showdown with the urban gangs as they accelerate their ongoing transformation into political/military organizations. The establishment must at all costs retain its monopoly on political and military power to realize its ultimate goal, imperial conversion, and this will ultimately require turning the military's heavy firepower on any and all who oppose that goal and monopoly.

Here's another mention of civil war in America. The Nov. 12, 1995 issue of the Boston Globe magazine had an article written by John Powers, an article titled "The Splintering of America" (The Boston Globe Magazine, "Splintering of America", Nov. 12, 1995,p. 23). The article cited the usual ethnic and linguistic mess that America has become and openly asked;

*" Is the United States destined to come apart as the Soviet Union did, fracturing into
dozens of rival sociocultural and political enclaves?"*

At the end of the article, where writers usually sum up their point, a professor of ethnic studies at the University of California, Berkeley, Ronald Takaki, was quoted as saying:

*"We have a double vision. We look at our diversity, and we also look at Bosnia - and we worry."*

The overall tendency is for establishment types to predict a crime and poverty-stricken multiracial banana republic, something like Brazil. Brazil is wracked by violence, but has so far avoided massive bloodshed like Bosnia. In such a society, the establishment reckons it can endure quite nicely behind its razor wire, walls and security guards. This optimistic view is based on their utter contempt for working-class whites. I'm confident they will be proven wrong, but time will tell.

This is from an essay by Charles Krauthammer in the November 13, 1995 issue of Time magazine:

*"America is proceeding blithely down the path of diversity and ethnic separatism. America's destination, however, is not Canada, which will find some civil way out of its dilemma. America's destination is the Balkans." (Time Magazine, "Quebec and the Death of Diversity", November 13, 1995,p.124.)*

Here's another mention of civil war in America. In the April 10,1995 issue of Forbes magazine. Dr. Thomas Sowell, in an article on affirmative action, said this:
