Guest post from John Wilder at Wilder Wealthy Wise.
“You were right, Smith. You’re always right. It was inevitable.” – The Matrix: Revolutions
Right now it feels like we’re watching a slow-motion video of a wreck that’s getting ready to happen. We know it’s going to happen, but have no idea how to stop it as physics makes it inevitable.
- People actively avoid being near those of opposing ideology. Might move from communities or states just because of ideology.
- Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
- Opposing sides develop governing/war structures. Just in case.
- Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology.
- Open War.
We are in the gray zone between step 9. and step 10. I will maintain the clock at 2 minutes to midnight. Violence continues to be commonly justified by local and state authorities, but there are now premeditated, fatal attacks by the Left. As noted in a previous update, the only thing keeping the clock ticking to full midnight is the number of deaths.
In this issue: Front Matter – Being Out In Front – Violence And Censorship Update – Updated Civil War 2.0 Index – You Have No Idea – Links
Welcome to the latest issue of the Civil War II Weather Report. These posts are different than the other posts at Wilder Wealthy and Wise and consist of smaller segments covering multiple topics around the single focus of Civil War 2.0, on the first or second Monday of every month. I’ve created a page (LINK) for links to all of the past issues. Also, feel free to subscribe and you’ll get every post delivered to your inbox, M-W-F at 7:30 Eastern.
Being Out In Front
When I started doing these updates, I wondered if I was being too pessimistic. In part, the original scale was developed based on personal experience – I had visited a “blue” state a few years ago on summer vacation.
A man, apparently looking at birds in a little-used state monument, saw us drive in. He trained his binoculars on our license plate. “Lower-upper Midwestia, eh?” he yelled. “Yes,” I responded.
“Who’d you vote for?” Unusual, but, whatever.
“Well, his name starts with a T,” I replied, grinning.
It puts the donkey in the pit, or a lifetime of communism it will get.
He then proceeded to call me a name for a portion of the anatomy that was the first thing people panicked about when COVID-19 hit and everyone bought all of that toilet paper.
“What did you say?”
“You heard me.” He then repeated the anatomical description and then scurried, rat-like into his SUV.
The Mrs. had gone to the little bathroom at the historical site, and had missed the interaction. I’m glad. She would have broken him like a stick. She always handles my light work.
But this was a significant data point. Never in my life had I been attacked, in public, for no reason other than my ballot. For most of my life, political differences had been a path to amusing conversations among friends. We had considered moving to this state. Why would we, though, when people acted like that? And now, people are moving out of California for the same reason we didn’t move to that blue state.
Once upon a time, we could talk about our political disagreements and still be friends. That worked, because even though there were things we disagreed about, we agreed about most things. Now? Leftists have largely abandoned the things that made us Americans. We have nothing to say to each other.
Seriously, The Mrs. would have broken him in the most embarrassing thirty seconds of his life.
When a stranger will insult you in public over nothing more than your ballot? The time of violence is close.
Violence And Censorship Update
Last month I put forth the criteria (from the literature I could find) that 1,000 was the number of deaths that signified a civil war. There was at least one great comment that made the point that we were already there and the 1,000 death minimum was arbitrary.
It is. But we have to have something, even if it’s arbitrary. The last I could find, there were 50 documented deaths due to the protest as listed by the Washington Post. My bet is that number is too low. It doesn’t, for instance, add in the numbers of dead due to rampant lawlessness in cities where BLM®/Antifa™ have taken root and taken over.
Not all of those “excess” murders are political, but a lot more are than I think are currently being admitted. Although it’s unscientific, I’d put the number of deaths closer to 150 than 50, but no one is tallying them.
On the censorship front, Facebook® has announced that no political ads will be run in the United States the week prior to the election. Facebook© has been removing points that differ from the “official” line about medical opinions, many of which have varied significantly throughout 2020.
Always wondered why the people in Hong Kong are holding American flags and are against censorship, while Antifa© are burning American flags and demanding censorship.
Perhaps the biggest censorship has been elimination of all Facebook™ posts expressing support for Kyle Rittenhouse, who in my opinion was exercising his right of self-defense. The same is true for virtually every major Internet funding service where Kyle’s supporters have tried to get monetary support for him. In the end, at last check they nearly have enough money for his bail. Yet Gofundme® regularly funds people accused of murder. But not witchcraft or self-defense.
They have to have a line somewhere.
Updated Civil War II Index
The Civil War II graphs are an attempt to measure four factors that might make Civil War II more likely, in real-time. They are broken up into Violence, Political Instability, Economic Outlook, and Illegal Alien Crossings. As each of these is difficult to measure, I’ve created for three of the four metrics some leading indicators that lead to the index. On illegal aliens, I’m just using government figures.
Violence:
Up is more violent. The public “perception” of violence keeps dropping over time, in part (my opinion) is that people are now expecting violence, and the sight of burning buildings and riots in the street are just accepted in September of 2020 – I don’t think there’s anyone (besides CNN®) that would say that September was more peaceful than April 2020, but if you look at the graph, we’ve just become used to constant political violence from the Left.
Political Instability:
Up is more unstable. Instability was up in September. I think there’s a really growing feeling among the people on the Left that Trump will win, and that would be the scariest thing that they can imagine. Well, that and getting real jobs.
Economic:
Down indicates worse economic conditions, are up significantly. I wrote last month that I expected a decline through October. Oops. This is why you don’t trust me with your money. But I think the numbers are juiced – I think that the unemployment numbers are artificially low, perhaps significantly so. And I’m expecting the markets to drop off a cliff. Sometime soon.
Illegal Aliens:
Down is good, in theory. This is a statistic showing border apprehensions by the Border Patrol. Numbers of illegals being caught is rising again – it’s at higher than all but one of the last five years. Even if it’s bad here, it’s worse south of the border.
You Have No Idea
. . . how bad it can get.
One thing that history has proven is that the most difficult conflicts are civil wars. They are generally unrestrained in the level of brutality. Why? Unlike war objectives such as wanting Ukraine for extra storage for lawn furniture or wanting Spain to just shut up, already, civil war objectives are personal.
Just saying, you can store a LOT of patio furniture in the Ukraine.
You can see that in Antifa®, especially. I’ve written a lot about them, and I’ve made an effort to really try to understand their mentality. I wrote a post specifically about that, and it’s one of my favorites (Why Would Anyone Become A Leftist?). For Antifa™, it’s personal. Very personal. As Sam Hyde said,
“When we win, do not forget that these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it’s funny.”
One thing that was memorable to me was when I was reading Concerned American over at the excellent Western Rifle Shooters Association (LINK) was when he said that he thought that no one over fifty would live through the coming crisis.
A statement that stark took me by surprise. It’s not that he’s wrong – I don’t know that he is. But it brought home to me that the potential for damage in the coming few years dwarfs anything that has ever happened in the United States.
Be aware. Prepare. Be in the safest place you can be.

Better hope your all wrong but your not !
I hope I’m wrong, too.
Indeed, I hope you are wrong. The massive machine that wants
chaos has the $ to pay for it however, and stoking divides is the
name of their game. I fear more actually the wretched damage
to our cities and our economy that likely can’t be forestalled. I
realize the damage was long in the making/the pimped racial
and social/class warfare divide is the icing on the poison cake.
I will say it again,we have not yet(though tis warming up) a civil war in this country.
Food/clothes/gas still reasonably priced/keep shopping on what you will use no matter how things turn out.
As for those of us over 50 dying,well,has a good point.We for most part have had a good ride,want a decent future for friends kids ect./threat of life in prison loses it’s deterrence value/the older you get the more one has a “Nothing to lose/every thing to gain”attitude.
I like most sane folks do not want a total war/breakdown in this country,but,if it happens,just remember this,”The first can cost you your freedom/monies/even your life,after that,they are all free”.
The pisser is that while I’m much calmer under stress than I used to be, my long-range eyesight isn’t what it used to be. Thank God for low-light optics!
Thank you for the post, and the links, as always very well done!
I enjoyed it all, even without the bikinis, but this was my favorite line…
“and getting real jobs.”
When the war actually gets under way, don’t forget to strategically target those who were actively seeking chaos and strife among the masses. This means those who funded and encouraged the hired goons that wreaked havoc on American cities, while crying about being oppressed and discriminated against.
Not fighting in the streets like bar brawlers,but plan to execute a strategic assault on those who have robbed us blind over decades of malfeasance and abuse of power.
That way the playing field will be leveled. They want us dead and now we want them dead. Enough said.

Panzer,I believe the words you are looking for are”accountability lists”,pair this with a “relocation program” and all is well in your ao.
I’ve been tracking the ammo prices and the price that folks are paying for ammo on auction sites are insane . A 1,000 rounds of green tips went for $1,032.00 last week . A 2500 round auction lot of .22 currently sits at $295.00 at one site. This is the same stuff I’ve bought for $19.99 for a box of 500 .
When folks pay these prices for ammo etc. then they are anticipating a hot time in the ol’ town soon enough .
Reasonably priced ammo can be found in the small rural towns still if you are diligent in your search .
Don’t forget to prep….food may be in short supply soon enough .
Buck
When Hi-Point .45’s are sold out along with anything resembling an AR platform you know it’s crazy.
There’s a reason the Armory at Harpers Ferry was attacked.
Black Friday last year Federal had a great sale on bulk ammo with a rebate, to boot. Bought several different calibers and when I got my rebate, went back and bought some more.
Sooner is better. Sooner is better. Sooner is better . . . .
Buck while not cheap like old days SGaAmo has(@ moment)green tips about 60 a round,plus some basic .40 at in these days reasonable price.Any folks feeling light in the food dept.,get shopping!
War has already been declared on the American people. It’s just that most of us don’t know it yet. How many people have died not from Convid, or with Convid, but because of the unnecessary lockdown causing suicides, domestic abuse, people not getting healthcare because of closed hospitals and people afraid to even go near a doctors office? Estimates have run into the tens of thousands. I won’t have knee surgery for a torn meniscus because I have to have a stupid test before surgery. Fortunately, cortisone shots have helped.
The Canadians are learning what it’s like to live in the apartment above a meth lab. Not that they aren’t totally dysfunctional, too.
Mary,
Knees do not need surgery yet, but there are now some pain relief over the counter creams with 4% Lidocaine. Blue Emu is one, Salonpas is another.
My doc said they sometimes get better on their own. That’s what I’m hoping for. I try to baby it so it will heal.
I’ve been thinking about trying collagen. That’s as far as I’ve gotten with it..lol!
mc,
if the collagen works let us know,lots of oldies have bum knees–
Will do. First I have to get past the “thinking about it stage”.
It’s so easy. Order it online, put a teaspoon or tablespoon of the unflavored in your coffee. (or any other drink).
Collagen is a fad. Turns poop into paste/yuk. The Glucosamine &
Chondritotin combo may be a better bet.
It’s just a matter of intensity.
MC….
As JW says, “It’s just a matter of intensity”…..tick tock, tick tock.
Today Pelosi all dressed in orange, with oranges on her mask, talks the 25th amendment:
A little search for “Orange Revolution” produced this as the top result, from wikipedia:
“The Orange Revolution (Ukrainian: Помаранчева революція, Pomarancheva revolyutsiya) was a series of protests and political events that took place in Ukraine from late November 2004 to January 2005, in the immediate aftermath of the run-off vote of the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election, which was claimed to be marred by massive corruption, voter intimidation and electoral fraud.”
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <<——=== haha…. tension is required prior to transformation
In Deplorable areas, this Revolution will die during birth; die on the day it is born: we’ll be waiting for ya’ll on 4Nov, so bring it on, Ya hear. Country People will sing songs, write books and celebrate the Shortest Communist Revolution in History. We’ll be shooting BLM and Antifa “Peaceful Protesters” and liberals fleeing Blue Cities like rats fleeing a burning dump.
See the two minute Oregon lady interview above.
She’s below; love her.
Yup. Where we’re at, I expect 95%+ non-Leftists. They did have a BLM protest – it was three people.
Be cautious about making threats. Everyone can fantasize about
sniper brigades, may be like thinking the shining Knight will ride
in on his beautiful horse. Find a code and use that when doing
fantasy projections. The paid thugs are not paying, they are being
paid. The payers are unknown and safe in their castles.
Call it Communism or call it Feudalism, I think the goal is the latter.
Media censorship review.
Two minute interview of a lady Trump supporter!!
And if any communist governor, mayor, police chief, judge or prosecutor tries to fuck around they too will find out patriots are no longer fucking around is what i predict
There are lots of ways to trace the license plate numbers of overt communists like the one that accosted the author.
Get their address, wait a week or two and fill their exhaust pipe with spray insulation foam. Same with the mailbox.
If its foggy or raining, a few drops of Gorilla glue in the door jamb is good clean fun!

My opinion? His biggest punishment is having to live as . . . him. Perpetually offended.
People such as that man are already living in a personal hell right here on earth, no love, no satisfaction, not even being able to share his hobby of birds with another, most likely does not realize he has a whole eternity of it just waiting for him.
Actually pity these types.
Did i hear superglue their locks, tuna can with a hole under their car, salt on the grass spelling trump, good fun
Loctite in the locks. Loctite in the lock, stick in any old key that fits in and snap it off.
Know you enemy. Each one teach one the consequences of their actions. Journalists,clllege professors in liberal arts.Democrats”friends “on social media. Just get at least one taught.
since he mentioned bail 4 kyle rittenhouse,i’ll mention bail 4 derek chauvin,whose “murder” of george floyd kicked off this summer’s excitement–
chauvin finally made bail today,putting up 100k of the 1 million bail–
something is fishy about this situation–even if he did not have 100k of his own,it seems like his fellow officers or some sugar daddy would have put up the $ and not left him in jail 4 so long–
Its hard to take a thing seriously that quotes Matrix Revolutions in the first paragraph. Nevertheless, it does appear H hour is drawing nearer.
Glock, (((They))) control The Narrative, The Media, Academia, politics, military, spy, industrial, corporate complex, etc. (((They))) have to tell us their intentions and plans, it’s The Law (cosmic) and they can’t get out of it. They hint at and tell us through all forms of media, disguised as truth, myth, fiction, movies, novels, plays, legends, religions, symbology, numerology, prophecies, conspiracy theories, dis and misinformation, but they do tell us. Some folks see through the smoke and mirrors, most do not. Most trust authority. Most have normalcy bias.
The ‘Great Reset’ And Overthrow Of The Planet
It’s ALL Being Done By A Plan – Don’t Forget That
Flea,tis amazing how quickly “plans”go awry!
If only the planners were flesh and blood. They mess up all the time but time is what they have plenty of.
We aren’t even resisting, let alone resisting wisely.
Flea, that is the main reason the NWO selected Trump to win in 2016. He has neutralized the (armed) Right so that they haven’t effectively resisted the COVID-19 scamdemic tyranny and the BLM/Antifa riots. They would be resisting by now if Hillary was president. I’m not sure, but I think the NWO will ensure Trump is re-elected for the same reason. If Trump is re-elected the Right will remain largely neutralized, and the Left will come totally unhinged. The riots will increase exponentially. The riots and lockdowns will probably allow the easiest path for the NWO to implement their one world government and cashless society. However if Biden wins the Right will start fighting back, and an outright civil war will probably start. The NWO may want that civil war at this point in their plans. We will find out what the NWO wants after the election, because the winner will be whoever they wanted to win. The only thing I know for sure is that the NWO is going to successful in achieving their one world government and cashless society.
Never forget the reason Americans are killing each other And remain so divided is because the Governors, Mayors, Police chiefs, prosecutors, judges and educators are allowing, assisting and brainwashing the rioters to go about rioting without repercussions. No bail. No jail. Free to do it all again. When civil war comes make sure you Clearly remember whose fault all this was………
Again Hell,local “accountability lists” paired with a “relocation program”.
And by this I mean obviously line up some U Haul trucks ect. to help them with their move/packing ect.
I think their BLM friends will take care of moving all their stuff out of their gated neighborhoods.
Thanks John, the humor is always priceless, the civil war warnings are timely to keep us focused. You’re definitely one guy I’d like to have over for a barbecue if you’re ever in the desert of NW Arizona… Keep up the good work.
For a good summary of the situation, https://blog.jim.com/war/the-final-election/
Hmmmm…..,nancy at a presser today told reporters to be there tomm. as she has some things to say about the 25 amendment,should be fascinating given the constitutional scholar she is and all!
I wonder if this crazy bitch really does want to kick off(the first)civil war in this country.
She wants power no matter what it costs somebody else. Pence wiped the floor with Kamalato last night, Trump is resurgent and says they have enough evidence to indict Obama and Biden.
Three and a half weeks is an eternity in politics.
The botox has infiltrated her brain.
I can’t believe we are still talking about Kyle Rittenhouse as if it’s not a hoax.
We are expected to believe he is rotting in jail over a lousy $2M bail?
His lawyer is supposedly worth tens of million of dollars, and he supposedly believes in his client’s innocence, but he can’t cough up $2M himself?
We are expected to believe a few, or even just one wealthy individual or organization couldn’t raise $2M overnight?
Ask yourself if that makes any sense whatsoever.
The whole fake drama is a crappy movie.
I walked out a long time ago.
Why are you still watching?
a few months back somebody wrote an article about kidnapping a female governor,putting her on trial and executing her after she was convicted–
either life is imitating art or some guys used the article as a template–
this is also a good example of why in this day & age you can only have tiny cells if you’re going to defend the nation against itself–they were done in by an informant–
