Guest Post by Earick Ward
As America’s Civil War is being re-litigated, do not the conditions for our next great struggle appear at hand?
Father against son? Brother against brother? Right against left?
The tension is palpable. The rhetoric, from both sides, is ratcheting up to a fever pitch. Short of some type of intervention, the tension, the rhetoric could turn to bloodshed.
While most of my conservative friends don’t seek this pursuit, they note that they will not shy away from defending their families, their homes, their values, and their country. They also note that, as historic defenders of our Second Amendment right, they are prepared to go to war if it comes to it. While these facts are true, let me suggest that in this coming battle, we lose, even if we win.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

The (hard) left wants war. The leftists’ attempts to divide us (Americans) by race, class, ideology are tactical. They want for us to hate each other. America’s experiment of liberty and self-rule stands in the way of their re-imposing authoritarian control over our populace, subsequently bringing about the long sought after one-world (Marxist) government. Hate and strife are strong motivators. If one can be convinced that “that rich man didn’t build that,” the logical conclusion is that what he has should be mine, and if government is not going to redistribute his stuff to me, then I am within my rights to take it by force.
The most recent leftist narrative is that Republican policies are killing people. That Republican hate speech is a precursor to genocide. How can this not but lead to violence? Did not James Hodgkinson justify shooting Steve Scalise and others as a righteous act perpetrated to protect the millions of potential dead people as a result of Obamacare repeal and replace?
Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, and George Soros’s minions are forming an army, in opposition to (alleged) fascists. In their tiny minds, their violent actions are righteous. They have scheduled a nationwide protest for November 4. There will almost certainly be violence and bloodshed.
Why do we lose? We, today, are America. All of us. We are a nation founded on self-rule, protected by our ideals and our Constitution. As self-rulers, we exist because we deem it so. If and when we reach the point that we are literally at each other’s throats, we are no longer a nation, but warring factions, set on a course toward imminent destruction.
The left’s desire for a second Civil War is but a precursor for their attempts to have the U.N. deem that our Constitution is not the defense against war, but its cause. The oppressed will clamor for justice. The oppressors will be deemed enemies of mankind. The American left and its globalist counterparts will announce that the American experiment has failed.
Yes, we will still have our guns, and we individually will still work to protect our families and our values, but our nation will be inexorably changed. This is a win for the left.
The answer, then, is portrayed in the epic 1980s movie War Games: “Strange game Professor. The only winning move is not to play.”
The left is working overtime to incite America’s Second Civil War. While it might seem tempting to take on Antifa’s pajama boys, take caution: this is exactly what they want. In fact, don’t be surprised to see a false flag-type event this weekend, structured to give the Antifas the moral high ground.
Our victory comes from not playing the left’s game.
The only option is to catch them by surprise.
Just surrender without a fight.
They won’t know how to handle it.
Wrong, from start to finish.
They intend to kill you, if you oppose them in any way. If you disagree with socialist / communist ideas, they intend to kill you. If you think marriage is between a man and a woman, they intend to kill you.
If you want to send all the illegal immigrants back home …
If you oppose Islam as a totalitarian theocratic system …
If you want to keep your wages instead of pay taxes to support the idle …
If you oppose sexualization and sexual abuse of children …
If you think parents should raise children and not the state …
When opposed by a group that is out to kill you, unity is not an option. Passive resistance is of limited use; once they cross your own personal line, you are forced to make a stand. We are already infiltrated by numerous foreigners who have NO intent to become American, and must be removed if we are to survive.
“We, today, are America. All of us. We are a nation founded on self-rule, protected by our ideals and our Constitution.”
No, we aren’t. We are working Americans and their families, legal immigrants, illegal immigrants, foreign combatants, pawns of the Deep State, Socialist / communist subversives, drug lords / dealers / mules & pushers, soldiers of the Free Shit Army and others. ONLY THE FIRST TWO GROUPS are solidly American and actually SUPPORT the existing Constitution, with a few individuals in the later groups; the rest are actively or passively trying to SUBVERT the Constitution, to overthrow the government or bend it to their personal benefit. Like that Burmese Buddhist poster, we are lying down next to mad dogs, and liable to get bitten on Nov. 4.
Greetings,
The fake Antifa that is being coerced into attempting something violent has no idea what actual violence looks like. The first time that a group of them go out to intimidate someone and only half come back alive will be the very end of their movement. They are nothing but pajama-boi faggots and there are millions of men with military training that are just waiting – hoping to be able to unload a few dozen magazines into a crowd of them.
Lets see what their pathetic Nov 4 day of rage looks like. Lets see.
Good reply .
There is no longer “one America”, there has not been for decades. Many on the left openly state that they want America to end. Being passive about the left, and the parasites, is why we are in this mess. The takeover from within began a century ago, and the left senses victory, because they know most people will do nothing to stop them. Only a fool still believes that people who want you silenced and subjugated, or dead, can be reasoned with. People need to face blunt reality for once.
I believe it was General Mattis who ten or fifteen years ago came up with the saying, something like “Be friendly and helpful and polite and have a plan to kill everyone you meet.”
That was followed by a quip about never taking a pistol to a gunfight chambered in a caliber that doesn’t start with a “4.”
If you have those two things in mind and run in to Antifa, they are going to have the bad day.
Disagree.
I believe the author is right about his description of the problem, but not the end point. We will win. We will win with triumph and smash them back to the stoneage. My dream is that communism will be crushed so bad, they’re too scared to rear their ugly heads for a couple generations and only then in quiet secret meetings and discovery of them and their pamphlets is met with violence and derision, Pinkerton 1930s-style. As an aside-My own grandfather was on a kill list in his home state about 100 years ago for being a Wobbly. They didn’t get him, but his socialist dream didn’t come to fruition, either. I would welcome the return of HUAC and red hunts.
They’re feeling their oats, they believe their own propaganda, and they think they’re ready. They probably also know there is no better time than now. Libfaggery is on the way out. The upcoming generation is leaning conservative patriot, not communist. They’ve seen it and dont’ want it. And libs don’t tend to breed, so their numbers are statistically on the wane. They have nothing to lose, as Marx said, and the world to gain.
I’m tired of the daily outrages that somehow find new ways to be worse every day. Bring it on. Let’s see how they fare against real life. Feelings don’t trump facts and reality. One side is ready, one isn’t. One is trained, armed, experienced and ready, one isn’t. One side produces, one doesn’t. One side staffs most of the military, cop, EMS, firefighter, etc jobs in the country, the other thinks those jobs are for rednecks and trash. One side produces food, goods, owns businesses, etc and one produces youtube videos and facebook posts, trash, graffiti, and anonymous threats. I can’t wait to see them try. And I hope when we’re finished with them, they’re hanging from trees, piled in front of brick walls, necklaced, wearing South American neckties, their properties burned or appropriated for other uses, their accounts and goods seized, their associations dissolved, their loved ones banished or in foster care, and their names blotted from history. I don’t think you win against communists until you’ve completely desecrated them.
Also, all the mainstream repubes who are decrying the Civil War are ignoring Jefferson’s point about watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants. This isn’t us losing our birthright, this is us practicing and protecting and reinforcing our birthright. If we’re lucky, the US gets back on track and renews itself for another 250 years or we sink into anarchy and turn into a fodder for history books.
“We will win. We will win with triumph and smash them back to the stoneage. ”
Love the bravado. GilbertS.
But, when all the killing is over and done, what did we win? And how is it that we escaped going back to the stoneage? Just curious.
There will probably be a CW. Ever read Read Badge of Courage? It’ll be like that. People all giddy to sign up to war, go kill some Rebs, or Yanks … and when it was all over they came back — if they came back — a bit less enthusiastic, all beaten and broken up.
Remember, the Leftist radicals want 3 phases: start a revolution, collapse the US as-is, and usher in their new glorious age of Marxism. They have won round 1 already… and it’s too far gone to stop phase 2, it’s just a mater of time before it goes hot, imo. The nation probably cant go back to what it was. We’ll either go a Yugoslavia route, or the cities (being the leftist strongholds) will implode under their own anarchy and destroy themselves. Then we’ll see what we have left, and start anew. Yes, it will be terrible… worse than CW1, in all probability. But that is the price that will be paid… war always ravages the generations that fights it, but folks will do it for our children and grandchildren to have a future.
when it was all over they came back…a bit less enthusiastic, all beaten and broken up.
Your point is loud and clear: there is no value in life worth fighting for.
Thank you. Got it.
Very well put!!!!

I started writing this last night for a full post on the upcoming Nov 4th nationwide ANTIFA party but got distracted today. Unfortunately, this weekend is looking tough as well from a writing schedule standpoint. Regardless, this seems like the right to article to post the start of what might have been:
—————
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to this evening’s festivities. It is sure to be quite the show! So sit right down and get yourselves ready for what is sure to be the debate of the year. Are you ready? Well, here we go….
In this corner, wearing a suit and tie and looking pretty much nondescript because he has no real viable organization currently… and because political correctness precludes the wearing of white sheets and hoods as well has Nazi Swastika armbands in this auditorium…. here he is… and coming all the way from the tiny and unincorporated township of Boston, Tennessee…. Please welcome… Freeeed the Faaaaasssciiist!
(Fred the Fascist enters the ring from the right corner, circling it a few times while alternating between “Heil-Hitler”-style raised right arm salutes and both-arms-raised-over- head gestures with clenched fists before returning to his corner. The crowd boos.)
ANNOUNCER: And… in this corner…. wearing the black full facemask, the all-black outfit, and carrying the red and black ANTIFA flag….. financed by the George Soros Open Societies Foundation… and brought here tonight through the support of Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama’s Organizing for Action, another Soros-funded group named IDIVISIBLE, RefuseFascism.org, and the Democratic Socialists Of Iowa State University…., please welcome… all the way from the Berkeley Campus located in San Francisco, California……. Saaaaaaaammmm the Sooooocccciiiaaalllliiiiisstt!
(Sam the Socialist enters the ring from the left corner, circling it a few times while walking stiffly with his right arm raised and fist clenched before returning to his corner. The crowd cheers and goes wild.)
ANNOUNCER: But first… please stand for our National Anthem
(National Anthem plays as Sam the Socialist takes a knee).
ANNOUNCER: OK! Let’s get started…
I’d pay to see that one.
You have the right to defend family and kin from harm! Don’t go out looking for trouble, but if they start it….
For Traitors who avow Communism, Satanism, Islam, etc, don’t just Nip it in the Bud: Go through them like Crap through a Goose, Crush the head of the Snake like a worm, drive them before you crying in utter desperation; “Utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass” or they will do the same to you.
Any real conflict (bullets flying) will give reason for the govt (leftists) to enact marshal law. That’s a loss in my book. Ignore the twits. What if they gave a war and the other side didn’t show up? When the economy crashes these twits will suck your dick for a sandwich. The problem will take care of itself in time.
Good, we need Marshall Dillon back.
No one in Their right “mind ” wants war but a day will come when we true Traditional White Americans may have little choice. I’m not going to waste my time trying to kill misguided young people unless they come in my neighborhood making threats but I would go after their so called leaders .I live in Charlotte NC so I don’t there are any here.The people who started that riot last time had to be bused in from other parts of the country.
I think there are a great deal more of us than them, but the MSM tries very hard to make it look like their numbers (antifa) are greater than they are. It is likely there will be disruption, but not on a wide scale. It takes a certain minimum amount of mass for a star to form. They have enough mass to make an asteroid, and that’s it. One asteroid does not equate to thermonuclear ignition.
I am much more optimistic than I used to be. I mean, sure, my health insurance is going away, I make a fraction of what I used to, and TPTB are trying very hard to eavesdrop on everything I do, say, write, etc.
There will be no civil war. The pajama boys will run away and die before they’ll engage in any real battle, and we don’t shoot cowards in the back. I submit to everyone here that we are actually on the verge of getting our country back. No sarcasm, I truly believe this.
… and when we do, we’re gonna knock those russkies’ dicks into the dirt.
That’s sarc, right??
“Capn Mike says:
November 3, 2017 at 7:40 pm
That’s sarc, right??”
Yes. But evidently no one got it, or at least three people didn’t get it… just tried to drop a little humor in a serious and somewhat worrisome topic. Evidently very little. Sorry Stuck…
If they have fired on me I will be shooting at them whether facing me or not as far as I can still hit them. A running collectivist shithead at several hundred yards or more with an M1 is a challenge an old fuquere like myself just should not pass up.
I doubt that history would support your optimism. TPTB are degraded, decadent sociopaths with no redeeming qualities. They will not give up power willingly or peacefully. There will only be renewal after much oppression and bloodshed, IMHO.
“Pinkerton”. Just curious, do you regard the Molly Maguires as criminals or martyrs? And Marx actually wrote “nothing to lose but their chains.”
Folks always look at this in the terms of live or die…as if their individual life means anything in the scheme of events. If you live as a slave, is that winning? If you die fighting for your generations to have freedom, is that winning? Many, many people believe winning in life is having material items, that can (mind you) be confiscated at any point under current laws and bogus charges. I look around at the masses of serfs and slaves and hate the fact that there is little that can be done about the system now. I look at the push of attacks on conservatives and religions and whites and wonder how I could leave my childrens/grand childrens generations to this fate as the world tumbles full force to communism and racial conflict.
Even if there was a fracturing of this country, this is not a loss… the US is not the borders or the states… the United states of America was the unification of peoples to protect each others freedoms and liberties and as such, if only a tiny piece is able to maintain this for future generations as the socialists burn and eat each other in other parts then thats a win. The win is the fight for liberty of the individual and for future generations to have the opportunity to those liberties. The founders fought for themselves … but only to a degree … all one has to do is read the founding docs to know that they fought for the future, their posterity.
Before a hot civil war, we’ll see the dollar lose reserve status, meaning all those dollars move from overseas to here, resulting in massive inflation, at minimum a partial default on Entitlements, including reduction of EBT. Medicare won’t matter if the doctors and nurses have left your immediate area. The unproductive classes, mainly in the cities, will express their vibrancy at the PoPo and riot for the gibsmedat, resulting in martial law. The current alliance between Antifa and Dark Lives Matter will evaporate. The cities will be hellholes. Excuse me, even worse hellholes.
Those of us in areas with crops, livestock, water sources, neighbors and arms we trust, will be fine, and eventually even better than fine, as we relearn priorities.
It should also be remembered that the electrical grid and water purification and delivery systems of cities are highly vulnerable to disruption. Sadly, ethanol corn doesn’t make tasty popcorn, but it will make booze.
Agree. The question then rises. Where does one concentrate their efforts? Slowing the deterioration or preparing for a funky ride to the future. I prefer to prepare, call me pessimist.

Pretty pathetic.
Greetings,
How is it going to look when NO ONE shows up?
Go for it; I’ll donate some lead.
Much ado about nothing…
There are mass graves in Siberia, filled with people that refused to play. They were propagandized into not resisting – by crap just like this article
“If you do not fight for what is right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you do not fight when the victory will be easy and not too costly, the moment may come when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and with only a precarious chance of survival…you may even have to fight when there is no hope of victory, for it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
Winston Churchill
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
I’ve tried many times to write something,too wordy, too obvious, too strong, too…. well, here goes.
If there is any retaliation as combatants, we lose, as the lefties side will always be favored by the media. Any retailiation as a defender will not further their cause, but means they will have to fire the first shot; we can only hope their aim is poor.
This being true, we will always be on the receiving end of the fight and may never have a winning scenario, for all Antifa will have to do is wait until a deadly mistake is made on our part, to bring the government in to confiscate firearms and crush any freedoms we now have.
So we really don’t have any options, except to do nothing.
Does this mean they have already won?
Our only effective resistance will be to defend our property and by then, it may already be too late to save anything, except maybe our skins. Do we just wait for the inevitable?
Edit: considering a part II if the thread is active
Yes, it is bravado. But I’m confident. This isn’t me marching off to WWI thinking it’s over in a couple weeks. These would-be rebels have vastly overestimated their power, abilities, and public sympathy and they will lose. (I started writing this yesterday. I note this morning the Revolution! hasn’t happened yet as of 10AM on 04Nov17)
There are millions of quiet people out there, just like me, who do their job, take care of their families, read the news, and care about their country. If/when these people and their communities are attacked, I think they will appear, seemingly out of the ground itself, to protect their homes and homeland. Kind of like they appeared out of nowhere to elect Trump last year.
I think the left has absolutely no idea how weak they actually are and what awaits them if they resort to direct action in the streets. They’ve been spewing their propaganda via the mainstream media for so long, I think they actually believe what they tell themselves and assume they are winning, hence their willingness to say what they actually believe when cameras are rolling and their frequently surprise when their words cause outrage among the public and force them to make apologies.
Just last night, I was watching a fascinating video about JCPennys economic woes, which started when they promoted gay marriage and the public stopped shopping there. I’ll also point out how the DNC tossed whites under the bus, only to lose them last year in the election. Apparently, there are a lot of quiet people out there who don’t like being treated like monsters and being remonstrated by the mainstream media day and night for crimes they didnt’ commit. They still haven’t learned their lesson, either, if you saw the anti-Gillespie campaign ad that showed a white guy with a Vote For Gillespie sticker mowing down minorities with his pickup truck. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/virginia-ad-features-minority-kids-chased-by-truck-with-gillespie-sticker-confederate-flag/2017/10/30/7311fdda-bd6f-11e7-97d9-bdab5a0ab381_story.html?utm_term=.2320fe728303
I do not believe it will be easy, but I think the %s are on our side and I believe we can and hope we will crush them quickly. I hope we do, because otherwise I fear we could be dealing with a long FARC-style insurgency that will grind us down for years.
I don’t believe this is quite the same as the War of Northern Aggression for some important reasons. In no particular order:
We outnumber the radicals by a massive margin. They’re a tiny aggressive minority among a largely lazy, selfish mass of people who aren’t used to doing much. I don’t think the Facebook and Youtube crowd is going to make much of a contribution to this conflict once it gets hot.
The other side has no country to fight for. Their motivation is to fight against their country and its ethnic majority and organzing economic and social ideals.
The motivations for both sides are vastly different. Our beliefs and motivations are rather simple and easy to express, while their side seems to be mobilized by a variety of inchoate, incomprehensible beliefs married together primarily by hatred, i.e. resentment over perceived racial, ethnic, gender, and class differences, communism, hatred of whites, hatred of “fascism” and anything or anyone who doesn’t agree with them, hatred of the US/Western Civ. That does not seem like something to mobilize people to put themselves in harm’s way like religion or defense of hearth and home. Are you ready to die fighting something you hate? I don’t think most people are ready to make that sacrifice.
The other side is also as potentially-divided as the author laments we are as a nation. How do you unite angry Latinos, angry Blacks, liberal anti-White Whites, Communists, Transexuals and Homosexuals and Lesbians and whatevers, Anarchists, Anti-Fascists, Feminists, etc into a coherent movement? Look at their riots and mobs. The signs are a mish-mash of random causes and special interests, except for where they hand out pre-made identical signs. Most of these groups have little in common and as much reason to hate each other as the rest of us. When times get tough, I suspect in-fighting will be as big a problem for them as our opposition.
Weak communications. Their comms are easy to exploit. They seem to be primarily internet and smartphone-based, which makes them easy to find, monitor, isolate, and neutralize. Cut off certain sites, certain applications, or local net/phone access and monitor suspects and I suspect you cripple much of their organizing efforts. Hell, focus on your local college campus and coffeehouse and you’ve probably wrapped half of them up.
No leadership. In line with their disorganized and varied groups with competing ideologies, they have no clear leadership to mobilize them. Cellular structure works for insurgencies, but with no clear unifying motivation, no clear articulable goal, and no unified group, I don’t know who or what will mobilize and direct them. The closest thing you could call a leader would be Soros and his various groups, but we all know who those groups are, so it wouldn’t be hard to find and neutralize them.
I’ve read up a little on how hard it is to fight an insurgency, once it goes hot, such as the British Malay Emargency, or our own experiences in Asia, France in Algeria, Russia in Afghanistan, etc but I don’t think these people compare. I doubt they can be successfully welded into an insurgent group, like the VC, Al Qaeda in Iraq, the Taliban, Mujahideen, etc. I think all but the hardest of them will drop out of it once the actual fighting starts and they see just what they’re up against. Suddenly revolution won’t seem so cool.
So I don’t see something like the War of Northern Aggression.
I don’t want violence, don’t seek violence, and don’t preach violence, but these people do and they are. They spent the last couple years attacking repube voters in the streets and largely getting away with it. They’ve spent decades attacking the right and getting away with that, too. They’ve always been willing to resort to violence, graffiti, arson, and other nasty stuff to get their way. The right, on the other hand, has largely remained silent and been civilized and law-abiding, trusting the system. I think that Berkely protest where the right showed up and cleaned Antifa’s clocks was the first battle and it showed just how unprepared they are for a struggle with a foe who fights back and doesn’t back down and what happens when name calling no longer works as a tactic. I think most of the right will continue to trust the system to take care of this until it doesn’t. Then they’re going to be in the streets and they’re going to clean house.
The War of Northern Aggression cost an estimated 618-700 thousand dead for a population of 31 Million. The equivalent today would be 6,000,000-7,000,000. Do you actually foresee 6-7 Million people dying in this conflict? Assuming they account for at least 1/2 of that, 3,000,000+ people, do you really believe they have enough people to lose that many? The Berkely Protest I mentioned earlier rocked their world and that was without a single fatality.
So that’s why I don’t think it will be as bad as all that and why I have confidence.
But…
If they were to somehow make it a race war… Say hello to Armageddon. There’s your 6-7 million dead. And there’s a hollowed-out, broken US missing 1-2 generations with a cratered economy, widespread starvation, global depression, dead dollar, and perhaps 1/3-1/2 of the nation lost to breakaway ethnic enclaves.
Wow. Very very well thought out post.
I disagree on a few points … mostly minor, and not worth mentioning.
You done great! (And I sincerely hope you are correct about your assumptions / analysis.)
(I can’t believe one ASSHOLE thumbed you down!)
Since he didn’t comment, we will never know.
Thanks for the good word. It’s like Motherfuckin’ Praise from Motherfuckin’ Ceasar.
BTW-it is now 4:09pm on 04Nov17 and the Revolution! has yet to be televised.
Right with you if the fight was against Antifa, but if you were able to take out every member of the group, what would be won? My point is Antifa is a Soros funded group that in and of itself, is only being used as a tool to foment a civil war that they hope will lead to a new government with a globalist view (that was not my down vote, by the way). Disable one tool, another is waiting in the wings, as long as the money is there to prop it up.
My further thought on how to secure a victory in this mess is to step up and establish a militant group like Antifa (Anti-Antifa), but without the support of the media or “the swamp”, it would only become the excuse for the elites to declare them enemies of the state and that would be the end of that.
I would love to see the Antifa militants go away, or make them go away, but in my opinion, it would not accomplish much.
Very nicely said.
Nice post, GilbertS. You may find this article to be of interest:
