The view from Moscow: USA on the brink of a new civil war

Written by: Sviatoslav Knyazev

The results of a survey conducted by the University of California show that 50.1% of US citizens believe that a civil war will begin in their country in the next few years. And this is not surprising. Against the background of the reforms carried out by the liberal elites, the mutual intolerance of supporters of different political forces in America is constantly growing.

Currently, 72% of US Republicans believe members of the Democratic Party are "more immoral" than the average American. On the other hand, 63% of Democrats think the same about Republicans. Just six years ago, the level of such negative "cross-party" ratings in the US was is almost twice as low.

Among registered voters, 42% consider their ideological opponents to be "openly evil", and 40% say they would be angry if their child married a supporter of the other party. Eighteen percent of Democrats and 13% of Republicans already openly talk about the justification of violent methods of struggle if the party they support does not win the elections.

The strengthening of divisions is also clearly visible in the election results in certain constituencies. If in 2004 in only 6% of districts one of the presidential candidates won more than 80% of the votes, then in 2022 the number of such districts has already increased to 22%.

Hysteria regarding the inevitability of a new civil war in the USA is actively pumped up by the leading liberal media, such as the American New York Times and the British Guardian, which on their pages transform light-skinned conservatives into existential enemies of the "brave new world".

International speculator George Soros, who represents one of the most prominent leaders of the global liberal elite, published an article in which he wrote that "the biggest threat to the USA is not Russia and China, but internal enemies who can transform American democracy into a repressive regime".

He also predicted the overthrow of democracy in the US by "right-wing extremists", in which he includes "Trump's Republicans", and even the justices of the US Supreme Court.

"The Supreme Court used to be one of those US institutions that enjoyed special respect. "Recent decisions by the extremist majority have dropped his approval rating to an all-time low, and disapproval of the court has reached a new high," Soros said.

The speculator, apparently, has in mind the decisions of judges in cases where they refused to support the initiatives of liberals - in particular, depriving federal authorities of the right to restrict abortion on their territory

By the way, US Vice President Kamala Harris once surprised the world public by comparing the mentioned decision of the Supreme Court with slavery.

"Our country has a long history of owning human bodies," Kamala Harris said in her comment.

George Soros is not alone in his conclusions. "When I left the Pentagon after 28 years in uniform, I never thought I'd say this, but what's happening in America today in the political arena is a far greater threat than any our country has faced in my career, including the Soviet Union. And that's because that threat is, here and now, directly in our house, and it comes from within ourselves. I think the irony is that the great nation - the only force that can break you - is yourself," popular New York Times analyst Thomas Friedman quotes his acquaintance (allegedly a former US Army officer) as saying.

An important moment in the Democrats' campaign to scare the public has the "issue of guns". The Republican leaders, referring to the Second Amendment of the US Constitution of 1791, are in favor of guaranteeing citizens the right to keep and bear arms. The Democrats, on the other hand, are in favor of restricting in this area at the federal level.

The liberal media likes to point out that half of Republicans and only 21% of Democrats have firearms in their homes. In addition, right-wing conservatives actively form, at the local level, "volunteer militia" associations. In this context, liberal publicists remind how American "patriots" managed to defeat better organized British soldiers during the American War of Independence. And they assume that in our time something similar can happen between the right-wing "militia" and the army. Especially since volunteers like to play paramilitary games in remote corners of their countries.

"We are in a very precarious position. A large part of our citizens has taken an anti-government position, which is fueled by our former president and his henchmen. Racism is now out in the open, as evidenced by the rants of diversity advocates at raucous school board meetings across the country. The country is armed like never before, and thousands of these citizens are in organized militia," wrote one of the authors of the New York Times recently.

In doing so, liberals implicitly inspire their electorate with the idea of ​​their exclusivity, talking about the fact that Republican districts are unfairly strongly represented in parliament, even though Democratic states
At the same time, American liberals do not like to talk about the fact that the main wish of conservatives is that all-knowing "progressives" do not enter the life of their families and their communities. And it is precisely the advocates of "diversity" who, with the force of Nazi raiders, are trying to immediately impose their views on the entire country on life.

Here is a banal example. Democrats are now trying to introduce "combined" toilets for children in schools for the sake of promoting progressive ideals. As such, they will not encroach on the rights of students who "do not fit into the gender dichotomy" or are "not yet determined". They were among the first to react to such " newspaper" Republicans from Florida, promising that they will not allow anything similar in their state.

It is obvious to any sane person that what the Democrats are trying to introduce will strengthen the unhealthy "sexualization" of minors and inevitably lead to a sharp increase in crimes on this basis. But ordinary people and their rights mean nothing to the "progressives", the main one is the "big ideas" and minority rights that liberal elites turn into something similar to Hitler's "Aryan race".

Another example of a wild social experiment is the drastic softening of the criminal code, which has the effect that, for "humanitarian" reasons, cases of violent crimes in large "democratic" cities are locked up en masse, and even convicted criminals are released shortly after trial.

"Perhaps the most disturbing manifestation of the current rise in crime in New York are the robberies. I can rob anyone. Recently, for example, an employee of the mayor's press service was robbed on the street. They are especially scared on the richest Upper East Side. Rumor has it that criminals operate there simply and efficiently. They don't enter the main door where the porters are, rather the service entrance for delivery and building employees, where no one is there, and the door is usually open due to American inattention. Lifotm climb to the upper floors, ring any doorbell and, threatening the hosts with weapons, steal valuables. Then they take the elevator down, exit the building and enter the subway.

Sometimes the metro is not even needed - guided by the high principles of social justice, urban planners located projects almost all over the city. You can buy an apartment for a few million, but there will still be a project within a three-minute walk... A few months ago, it was said that a citizen caught intruders on the spot: they removed the wheels from his car or from the neighbor's car. They carefully sprayed him with pepper spray, handcuffed him, calmly finished the job and left. He was happy to be alive," the author of the Telegram channel "From the banks of the Hudson" describes the New York reality.

The homicide rate in 20 major US cities is 40% higher today than just a few years ago. However, it doesn't matter to official Washington. The main thing is - shared toilets and quotas for minorities in company boards. Therefore, if someone in the service industry dares to refuse, for example, to fulfill the order of a representative of a "non-traditional" orientation, citing their religious beliefs as a reason, they will surely be dragged to the courts for that...

And in fact, it is very easy to avoid another civil war in the USA. And, at the same time, unrealistically difficult. It is enough for "progressives" to learn to respect the rights and beliefs of other people. And also - to stop using "politics" to cover up open crime, as was the case with the repeatedly convicted criminal George Floyd.

Ah, yes, for the sake of peace in the USA, we should stop mass mail-in voting for the Democratic candidate by people who have long since died, and not allow illegal immigrants who have never had US citizenship to go to the polls.

The only problem is that if these simple recommendations were followed, the chances of the Democrats winning the US elections would be practically zero. That is why the threat of a new civil war will only grow there. And the liberals are already preparing their electorate for that.

"The beginning of the civil conflict in the USA will not be a formal struggle of armies for territory... The resistance is just beginning, but it is also taking shape: if you are rich and want to continue living in democratic conditions, the time has come to open your wallet." If you're an engineer, it's time to get organized. The output is not defined at all. Neither side has an absolute advantage. Neither side can win easily. But it is an obvious fact that the battle has begun and will be fought everywhere," Stephen Marsh eloquently writes.

The Left decline into Fascism really easily

In what can only be described as the most astonishingly hostile and divisive attack on his fellow American citizens ever delivered by an American president Joe Biden on September 1, 2022 delivered remarks on what he called “the Continued Battle for the Soul of the Nation.”

The dark bloodred lighting, the prominent placement of Marines on the stage and the viciously hostile words of Biden’s remarks conveyed a dark and ominous threat against anyone who might disagree with the Democrats’ Far Left, anti-constitutional agenda.

Rather than taking inspiration from the great presidential speeches of the past – the humility of George Washington’s first inaugural address, the unifying message of Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address, the paean to America’s foundational principles in Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms Speech,” the call to fight the spread of Communism in John F. Kennedy’s “ask not what your country can do for you” inaugural address, and the can-do, upbeat challenge “to dream heroic dreams” of Ronald Reagan’s first inaugural address, Joe Biden appeared to be inspired by a darker spirit, foreign to the respectful disagreement that has characterized our political discourse prior to the present age.

I am not the first or only observer to see dark parallels between Biden’s “the Continued Battle for the Soul of the Nation” and the infamous Nazi propaganda film “Triumph of the Will” in which German filmmaking genius Leni Riefenstahl used non-verbal image-making and the words of Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders to dehumanize and justify the persecution of the opponents of the National Socialist movement.

One of the most effective techniques Riefenstahl and Hitler used was to place opponents outside the privileged group of the Nazi Party, and to place them under threat by juxtaposing Hitler’s words with images of the military, then firmly under the control of the Nazi Party.

So, we see the same technique of “othering” when Biden attacks “MAGA Republicans” against a bloodred background while flanked by stern-faced Marines.

A picture is worth a thousand words and Biden doesn’t have to say, “I’m coming for you,” it is clear from the picture.

However, Biden is much less subtle than Hitler in identifying those who disagree with him as enemies

Hitler says quite clearly at some point in the future every “loyal German” must be a National Socialist: “...the goal must be that all loyal Germans will become National Socialists.”

Biden put that concept in the negative. You can’t be an “insurrectionist” or a “MAGA Republican” and be an American, loyal to the Constitution.

And there was another interesting parallel between the two speeches.

The Nazis were infamous for redefining words and concepts to fit their ideology. Thus, “justice” didn’t mean achieving a fair result based on evidence, it meant achieving a result that advanced the ideological goals of the Nazi Party.

Biden’s speech was full of similar dramatic ironies.

Starting the day Donald Trump was inaugurated, Democrats and their Far Left allies spent 2016 to 2020 attacking police stations and committing arson to the tune of over $2 billion in damages, and reacted to the overturning of Roe v. Wade by burning crisis pregnancy centers, but Joe Biden said: “There is no place for political violence in America. Period. None. Ever.”

After Democrats and their Far Left allies fomented riots that caused the death of at least 31 police officers while they excused some 600,000 assaults on police officers, Joe Biden complained: “We saw law enforcement brutally attacked on January the 6th.”

And after not one of the organizers of that political violence was charged, let alone prosecuted for that violence, Joe Biden said with a straight face: “We can’t allow violence to be normalized in this country. It’s wrong. We each have to reject political violence with — with all the moral clarity and conviction this nation can muster. Now.”

Is comparing Joe Biden’s “the Continued Battle for the Soul of the Nation” to Adolf Hitler’s “The Triumph of the Will” a stretch?

I don’t think so.

The point of both was to dehumanize opponents, to put those who disagreed with the party line outside the “mainstream,” and to redefine truth, justice, the rule of law, violence and loyalty to fit the ruling Party’s ideology. And in that regard Joe Biden was considerably less subtle than were Adolf Hitler and Leni Riefenstahl.

'25,000 dead registrants': Why legal nonprofit is suing Soros-backed Michigan elections chief

Following a recent win in his legal battle to compel Michigan Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to purge 25,000 deceased voters from her state's rolls, Public Interest Legal Foundation President J. Christian Adams explained his suit on the "Just the News, Not Noise" television show on Friday.

After the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan last week denied Benson's bid to dismiss the legal nonprofit's suit against her, Adams decried the George Soros-backed election official's unwillingness to update her rolls despite PILF's documentation of the dead voters.

"Yeah, 25,000 dead registrants on the active rolls in Michigan — like 4,000 of them had been dead for 20 years," said Adams, a former Department of Justice voting rights attorney. "We had pictures of their gravestones in the complaint. We sent Jocelyn Benson ... notice about these dead people before the 2020 election. She didn't do anything.

"We finally sued. She still hasn't done anything — tried to get the case dismissed saying we aren't allowed to sue" for lack of standing, "and she lost. So the case is gonna go forward. Every state that's faced these kind of lawsuits eventually settles with us. Let's see if she does."

Adams explained how blue states have sought to evade responsibility for maintaining voter rolls, opening the door to mistakes and mischief.

"[B]lue states in many cases — New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Maine, I could go down the list — are run by sort of ideological state election officials who are opposed to list maintenance," he said. "It was part of [Democrats' voting overhaul bill] HR 1, if you remember a year ago, that they were going to ban all this maintenance as a matter of federal law. That failed, of course, and they are against list maintenance.

"They would rather have polluted voter rolls than mistakenly remove somebody who should not be removed — they'll tell you that's what they think ... the problem is, when you have a system that is now so heavily vote-by-mail, when you have all of these automatic things going to homes, polluted voter rolls is step one to problems — and that's what happened in Nevada, that's what happened in Michigan, Pennsylvania. Judith Presto, remember the name Judith Presto. She got registered to vote, voted by mail, and she was dead."

Adams was asked his opinion of the Biden Department of Justice under the controversial leadership of Attorney General Merrick Garland.

"Well, I guess I lived in the coal mine, and I was the canary back in 2010, with the New Black Panther case," replied Adams, who after stepping down from the DOJ accused the department of racial bias for dropping a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party. "And I saw unequal enforcement of law up close over a decade ago. And the Civil Rights Division is always the first place where crazy starts.

"And now what's happening throughout the entire department? Why aren't they involved in our Michigan case? I thought they believed in enforcement of federal [National Voting Rights Act] law. They're not, of course — they'll probably take the side of Michigan if they did. The point is that DOJ has always been problematic in the Civil Rights Division. Now, it's across all the divisions."

‘Critical Social Justice Is Anti-Semitic at Its Core,’ Says Attorney for Abuse Survivors

A family law attorney representing domestic violence victims at Women Against Abuse (WAA), Nicole Levitt has brought suit against her employer, alleging the nonprofit organization created a racially hostile work environment and censured her for simply raising concerns about anti-Semitism.

Co-author of a paper with David Bernstein and Daniel Newman in 2021 called “How Social Justice Extremists Spawned a Generation of Progressive Anti-Semites,” Levitt believes the social justice training at her workplace is part of a larger movement that is anti-Semitic.

“Critical social justice is anti-Semitic at its core. Why? Because … it divides everything into a binary of black and white, oppressor versus oppressed. And those aren’t categories that Jews fit into,” she said during an interview with EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” Program.

“So, discrimination against [Jews], it’s fine. It doesn’t matter. They have power, they have privilege,” Levitt said. “And the end result is there’s a huge argument on Twitter over whether Anne Frank had white privilege.”

Levitt cites an incident prior to her lawsuit when her colleague tried to circulate an article addressing the anti-Semitism in the social justice movement and Levitt sent an email saying she hopes it will be included in WAA’s reading materials.

“That just set off a firestorm of controversy. And I got back a ton of, let’s say, disapproving emails that accused me of furthering white supremacy, taking the spotlight away from black and brown people, saying that anti-black racism is so much worse than anti-Semitism,” she said.

Levitt wanted anti-Semitism included in the conversation about social justice because “we were being asked to espouse a very specific ideology of oppressor versus oppressed. And the way that they characterize Jews is on the side of oppressors; everything is black-and-white in a binary. And I have found it and scholars have found it to be pretty anti-Semitic.”

Black Lives Matter (BLM)

In addition, BLM endorsed Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions, a movement to sanction Israel in any form of investment, including teaching, that’s “very anti-Semitic,” said Levitt.

“There were a few BLM leaders that actually traveled to Israel and met with some Palestinians, and included in the group of people that they met with were some known terrorists,” she said.

The Epoch Times reached out to BLM for comment.

The ideology of “anti-racism” gained more followers during the “racial justice” protests in the summer of 2020 often led by BLM to protest the killing of George Floyd while in police custody. Critical race theorists claim that because of the history of black enslavement and segregation, America’s social, legal, and economic systems are inherently racist and argue that its institutions must be dismantled and, as Marxists teach, wealth redistributed.

“The power inequities that exist in an abusive relationship mirror centuries of white supremacy and racism, in which power is reserved only for a few. WAA believes ‘all forms of oppression must be ‘dismantled,’ reads the non-profit’s website.

“And it came to a point where I felt the training [sessions] were all relying on stereotypes, discrimination, [and] scapegoating,” said Levitt.

The Jewish Institute for Liberal Values (JILV) has set up a defense fund to support Levitt’s case against WAA, which is currently before the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission.
