Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
History whispers to us from the past because the one thing that is constant has always been Human nature. It really does not matter whatever the issue might be. Perhaps the most dominant reason has often been religion. Nero used that to blame the Christians for burning down Rome. The Diocletianic or Great Persecution was the last and most severe persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire. This again was not out of personal hatred of Christians. This was after the Monetary collapse of Rome during the 260-268AD time frame. Diocletian (284-305AD) persecuted the Christians because the general belief was that the gods were causing Rome to collapse BECAUSE of the Christians who were disrespecting the gods.
There was another religion rising known as the Manicheans. Diocletian issued an edict in 302AD against them as well for the very same reason – they were offending the gods who were punishing Rome. They were founded in the Persian Empire known as the Sassanid Empire and were followers of the prophet Mani (216-c.276). This became another widespread religion that infiltrated Rome, India, and China. It was based on a dualistic theology in which the theory was that the universe was divided between the divine plane of light and our own material plane of darkness. The Father of Greatness was not omnipotent, but he ruled the realm of light. Its opposite, the material realm, was controlled by the King of Darkness. These two forces did battle on both a cosmic and a personal level. Thus, within each individual soul, there was a battle. Manichaeism was clearly influenced by several other religions including Buddhism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism.
So, no matter where we look in history, there is this eternal conflict between two ideas – left v right. The media is fueling the hatred of Trump and as we can see the new strategy is to hate Republicans for the November election when Trump is not running. But they are portraying him as evil and he now controls all Republicans so you better vote Democrat. That is the message being sent out all over.
Here is a coin of Postumus who led the separation of Spain, France, and Britain to exist the Roman Empire. First, he was not trying to be another general who conquered Rome. He was pushing for separation and his coinage declare that he was “restoring” the region to sanity and safety. This is the most likely way we will see the United States split as is the case in Europe which will probably precede. I do not see armed armies leading the charge, nor do I see your neighbor picking up a gun and storming your house because you are the evil opposition. They will probably not speak to you and that is how it will begin.
Armies are created by the rulers. They demonize their opponent to get the people to be willing to die on the battlefield for some noble cause. The US Civil War was promoted on religious grounds. There were slave owners who abused their slaves and beat them and the majority did not. The worst part of slavery was they could sell your wife or child. That was different from serfdom where you went attached to the land and could not be sold individually. The South fought over state’s rights which they want to deny today, but economically, slaves were valuable. It all began with indentured servants which were people in England sold to a plantation owner for their sentence of 2 or 5 years for a misdemeanor crime. That is why the Constitution forbids indentured servitude.
Ending slavery was taking away the workforce and it mean economic destruction. The vast majority of soldiers who fought for the South were not slave owners. They fought against Federalism that was dictating what their economy should have been. The vast majority of solider in the Confederate Army did not have the wealth to own slaves. They were very expensive. Historically, the US will split along the same lines. The middle of the country will join with the South up to Montana. This will divide the nation into three parts as what took place in Rome. The Pacific States will be California, Oregon, and Washington. I am surprised that the Washington States has not moved to rename itself Wokeville since George Washington inherited enslaved people at the early age of eleven and was therefore a slave owner. Thomas Jefferson also inherited slaves with his wife. They have removed his statues in NYC already! The man who wrote the Declaration of Independence.
I would not expect the separation to come by force of arms. We will see this rise to a voting issue on both sides. Already on the 2022 ballot will be a question to secede from the United States in Texas and California. There are people talking about it here in Florida. The more Washington tries to impose its dictates on the States, we will see the rise in calling for secession from US. This was to be a union that retained state sovereignty. That was the US civil war and it will be again – just a different issue from slavery to economic slavery, climate mandates, vaccine mandates, and who knows what’s next – chip implants?

Splitting up sounds like a great idea to me. But Sanityland (the Midwest-Texas-Deep South-Florida coalition) must quickly draw up an invasion and subjugation plan to deal with the People’s Republic of the West Coast, because access to the Pacific Ocean is strategically and economically important, especially in dealing with the Chinese – who are already calling the shots in CA, OR & WA.
There will no Civil War. Everyone is too invested.
Spot on.
There already is a civil war raging. For years.
The shooting part just hasn’t gotten widespread yet.
(But it’s quite widespread)
The first real skirmishes happened in the summer of
2020. When the midterms conclude there will be more.
When DJT becomes president again in 2024, best have a plan.
I personally am reading up on my Nathan Bedford Forrest.
The early part will be disorganized violence against anyone
the minions of Leviathan perceive as having usurped the
proper order, then Leviathan will declare martial law and off we go.
Forrest was an expert in guerilla warfare. It will be a valuable skill.
Organizing your friends and neighbors into a protective group
will be the first order of business. Be sure you aren’t in or near a city
when it starts. A storm is most certainly coming. Ignore it and be swept away.
(BTW, the downvote isn’t mine. I don’t do that. It’s infinitely childish.
If I disagree with someone, I explain why, not take my downvote and go home in a huff.)
Question: are you referring to the SWAMPFOX ? I’m old enough to remember when Disney put out great movies celebrating America.
NBF was a Confederate cavalry commander.The SwampFox was in South Carolina during the Revolutionary War.
Outline of leaderless resistance:http://www.louisbeam.com/leaderless.htm groups must remain small with people we can trust.
If everyone ends up wiping their asses on $100 Bills, then your statement is null and void.
Everyone has too much to lose for a Civil War. Now if the Democrats follow through with their all Republicans are terrorists nonsense and make murder legal for one side, then I see people start shooting.
There will be community uprisings, but majority of Americans too dumbed down to really know the globalist plans ongoing since they believe politicians and gov. news (CBS, NBC, ABC,CNN, NPR, etc) take covid shots, so they will comply w/ anything incl families separated and detention centers. Most of them are cowards and wussies and embrace nihilism.
I like your use of the word, ” sanityland”. Im gonna steal it from you and use it.
I think I have a little bit of Manichean belief in me.
Duality of nature, conflict between forces of light and those of darkness ? Yep. For disinfo to be truly successful you gotta provide a lotta truth for the lies to be palatable. ” A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down”. Remember when Disney was good ?
Does anyone know what the US map he shows is?
We were indian territory but fought on the side of the south.The thought that one group of people thought it was a good idea to KILL their fellow man in the name of economic survival(though undeclared)
a good idea SHOULD tell you who we’re dealing with…..
Yeah,…..the same club…..
I think it’s the division of North vs South from circa 1865
The US at the time of the Civil War.
California had joined in 1850, Minnesota not yet.
May need to call up the lyrics…
I think it’s going to splint along the energy and commodity regions. Food is energy. So that will include Alberta Canada as well.
So in a weird way, those regions will align with economic interests.
When you’re not content destroying someone else’s home and set about destroying your own.
One Year Later — US Team of Veterans Rescued 17,000 US Legal Permanent US Residents from Afghanistan After Joe Biden Pulled Out of Country
That Gateway Pundit article is next to useless. It merely repeats the headline several several times and names the veteran in charge of the organization rescuing the stranded.
Seventeen thousand Afganis and American citizens smuggled out of Taliban controlled Afganistan is an extraordinary claim, yet not a word on techniques or operations or logistics or funding or squat.
Perhaps the headlines are accurate but this article can’t be used to verify them. More a GP complaint I suppose.
I’ll search the veterans name to see if there’s more info to glean.
EDIT to add: Chad Robichaux. Save Our Allies.
From the SOA website:
“All parties deposit information into a secure infrastructure for overall situational awareness and collaboration.
In addition to unparalleled ground truth situational awareness, SOA provides security awareness, threat vulnerability assessments, coordination and response through the SOA provid ”
This word salad reads like it came from the same post modern gobbeldy-gook generator that Cameltoe Harris gets her speeches from.
If I were doing the rescues I wouldn’t be broadcasting any of this either. If they did they’d be giving the taliban info to shut them down and they’d be giving the communist US govt a road map to shutting all the players down as well. The biggest persecutors would be the communists running the USA.
Those items are considered sensitive op-sec by the military.
Correct Brian and Ken31.
I wouldn’t expect detailed particulars, but I would expect some generalities and better composition on their website.
Seventeen thousand? That would equal a productive day at our Southern border. Have they made it back to the States? You’d think, or I would at least, they’d have a few testimonials from anonie rescuees. Something beyond claims and gobbledegook.
Afghanistan, the graveyard of empires. No coincidence we were fraudulently brought into that wicked quagmire. They are imploding America, can’t have any remaining free peoples in this new order they’re implementing.
Glad they were rescued. We had no business over there meddling w/ Taliban Muslims, besides they hate all non Muslims and certain groups of Muslims. We accomplished zero for twenty yrs, like V. Nam, Iraq, all for nothing except corp. profits for war (guns, tanks, aircraft, etc). No war won in 77 yrs. Now we are meddling near Taiwan and we have no claim on that country. No control on borders anyone comes in.
Assuming the slave price chart is priced in $ from that time, slaves were damned expensive. Catherine Austin Fitts says slavery is too expensive these days and they think they can get by with robots and a few humans that are left after the rest of us are exterminated.
Not only the purchase price, but the owner was responsible for housing, food, clothing & medical care. Slaves were not cheap and very few people had them.
I read something from 19th century Britain about how their system of labor was preferable to slavery .Ie debt slaves and wage slaves the system were under now.
I read that too and came to this conclusion. Britain outlawed slavery because they knew they could use manipulation and brainwashing and enslave everyone.
Why would you beat anything be it human or animal that you paid a huge sum for? I’m not denying that some slave owners beat slaves but I’m sure it was rare. I’m not a slave apologist. As someone said, poor Irish and English were “indentured servants” nice words for slaves.
Slavery could have ended here without firing a single shot. It ended in Britain without war. Of course we know the War Between the States was not about slavery.
I realize I’m preaching to the choir.
M C – As you are well aware, there are some really cruel people in this world and many of them find their way into power. I’m sure a lot of the beatings came from the overseers and the true owner may never have known how bad it really was in the quarters.
But if we knew then what we know now about how destructive freeing the 13%er’s and not sending them back to Africa we would be a much greater nation than we are now.
Turning that first shipload around and sending it back would have been the best thing to ever happen to this country, but it did not happen and we are still paying for the mistake 400 years later.
If only we could get the baby mamas to move to Africa now lol. Liberia was founded by freed blacks going back .Not enough “programs ” for the bobongos in Africa .
And if you think that the Feds will tolerate secession you are living in Dreamland.
The financial collapse of the federal government will take care of that problem.
The enforcers will always get paid to ensure ‘stability.’
Inflation, energy shortages, food shortages, etc. is happening all across the western world. You will here the Marxist advocate that it’s a Global problem. It is Global problem brought on by the same people who run the EU and the US and other western governments. Germany, UK, Italy, France, Canada, US, etc., all experiencing similar issues. Farmers are being prevented from farming, Climate change is governing western policies, Energy pipelines intentionally being scuttled, waging unjustified wars, compulsory government mandates, destruction of military readiness, etc.. The reason it’s happening in a synchronized pattern is because it’s the Globalist’s plan for subservience of the western people. If anyone think’s you live in a sovereign nation guess again. We are being driven into our grave’s by a group of unelected Globalist elitist’s hell bent on building their NWO(WEF, CFR, UN, etc.) by influencing and controlling all western governments. All of the western world may be headed for war as Germans and many other western countrymen will go cold and hungry this winter and for the foreseeable future, these are the catapults of war . All because of feckless, cowardly heads of state(FJB) standing by and watching the destruction of their fellow countrymen by a cabal of NWO elitist’s with power and influence. We could be likely headed for a global civil war, if it’s possible for such a thing IMO. The eastern world China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, etc. are watching and probably liking what they see as we descend into complete chaos and hardship brought on by our own heads of state. Fucking Pathetic
flash, When the last C130 flew out of Saigon it carried about 450 people incredibly.
That is not its normal payload obviously. So we’re talking about 40 to 50 Hercs worth of evacuees??
Those who think this isn’t possible haven’t been paying attention. When the economy fails as a result of government incompetence and greed we’ll see the rats begin to flee the sinking ship…they will be telling all the secrets of the deep state.
When the populace are told that the vax is a bioweapon, Blackrock is foreclosing on your neighborhood and the supermarket is out of food, the gas station has no gas and you can’t heat your home…the sheep will becomes wolves. The last thing people sell is their guns. If we don’t agree on secession before we hit the Mad Max finale we will have UN “peacekeepers” on our streets.
“Tribe against tribe”. Sorry, my friend, but yes, it wull be a war. It’s going on now. It will merely continue to escalate until one, massive triggering event explodes into full on global combat- serfs demanding freedom and justice against serfs demanding subservience to the global stake holders. Sorry, but that’s the future we’ve been warned about for millennium.
Rino’s are on the same team as the Dem leftists.
Mr. Armstrong, you are known, respected and acclaimed all over the world for your expertise and knowledge. I watch your every appearance on Greg Hunter. But, your writing seems disconnected and difficult to follow. Perhaps, like me, you should let your wife or assistant proof your articles. I say this with respect. Thanks.
