Our Comment:
A war may be brewing within the United States, almost a third of voters say in a poll. Amid widespread political polarization on issues like immigration and recent public confrontations of Trump administration officials, 31 percent of probable U.S. voters surveyed said they think “it’s likely that the United States will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years.”
USATODAY: Democrats at 37 percent were slightly more fearful of a second civil war than Republicans at 32 percent, the poll from Rasmussen Reports found.
While more than half thought it was unlikely the USA would see a second civil war soon, 59 percent of voters were still concerned that opponents of President Donald Trump’s policies would resort to violence.
During former President Barack Obama’s second year in office, a similar 53% of voters thought those who did not support his policies would turn to violence… [The] poll also found 53 percent of voters were worried that those critical of the news media’s Trump coverage would become violent.
Trump administration officials, including White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and White House adviser Stephen Miller, have faced public confrontation from political opponents protesting the immigration policy and others.
The survey by Rasmussen Reports polled 1,000 likely U.S. voters from June 21 to June 24 with a sampling error of 3 percentage points.
Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, fears another Fort Sumter is in our near future. “America is heading in the direction of another Harpers Ferry,” the controversial conservative tweeted… “After that comes Ft. Sumter.”
King’s tweet linked to an article from the conservative online news site PJ Media about a group of protesters who were staging an “occupy”-style campout in front of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding facility in Portland, Ore.
Harper’s Ferry, Va., was the site of an 1859 raid on a federal armory led by militant abolitionist John Brown. Brown’s attack was aimed at sparking a massive slave uprising and the violent act helped push the divided country toward civil war.
King’s concern that the U.S. could be heading for another violent, internal conflict has been echoed by many voices in recent days after two administration officials were driven from restaurants because of opposition to their political views. A call from Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., for activists to ramp up such harassment has further fueled concern that civility in American politics has eroded.
King himself has a history of remarks that have been criticized as inflammatory, divisive and racist.”
Our Comment:
A new civil war will certainly have racism mixed up in it, as well as well as economic issues. A bad economy always leads to unrest that can, at times, become violent, and certainly would in today’s polarized America.
Prophetic Link:
The monied men, because they have the power, control the market. They purchase at low rates all they can obtain, and then sell at greatly increased prices. This means starvation to the poorer classes, and will result in a civil war. There will be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation.” Manuscript Releases, Vol. 5, page 305.

Friday November 16th, 2018 at 07:32 AMThis article overlooks the fact that there has been actual left-wing attempts at assassination of GOP elected officials, not just threats of killing. It overlooks the fact that Hillary Clinton stated that there will be no attempts at left-wing civility unless Gop officials in Congress and the White House accede to Democrat demands.
Most of all, the article overlooks the fact that the Democrat Party has run on and intends – post election – to fully pursue a total ban on the ownership of all semiauto rifles, pistols, gun kits, and gun parts. And that’s just at the federal level. State initiatives in Democrat-dominated states promise more of the same, but also infringements on the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th & 9th Amendment rights of gun owners starting with surveillance of gun owners’ social media accounts.
Such a breathtaking overreach against the rights of LAW-ABIDING gun owners, after years of ongoing harassment and infringements of their rights, has angered most of them to the point where there is open talk of the necessity of taking up arms against the government AND LIBERALS IN PARTICULAR.
I personally routinely read gun owner websites, user groups, and social media. Therefore I believe I can speak with authority to the gun-owner issue. They are mostly conservative, and they are sick and tired of the treatment they receive at the hands of the antigun Left. Honestly I am quite amazed at their restraint over the last 25 years.

Sunday November 18th, 2018 at 10:35 PMWhile the article we quoted doesn’t address the gun rights issue directly, it is a related issue. Your points are well taken, and are certainly largely true William. Our point is that the discussion about an imminent civil war, irrespective of its political orientation, is prophetically linked to the inspired statements, regardless of who starts it, or who is behind it. God be with you. Pr. Hal

Thursday November 22nd, 2018 at 07:55 PMYes, the general tenor of the gun community is “You want our guns? Come and git ’em.” There are a number of folks that are considering they have nothing left to lose and that number is growing.
