This is very much speculative, as you can already tell, and a worst-case 'what if' scenario based on rumors, and disparately linked details, threads, and analysis. Nothing in this should be confused as endorsement, encouragement, nor a threat. These opinions are my own and my own alone. The u.s. is going into a deflationary crash or hyperinflation. It's about to devolve into a clusterfuck of antifa and blm backed by china and the cia, fighting openly in the street with right wing death squads armed and trained by the FBI and mossad. Like gangwarfare on steroids. Everything thats happened over the last couple decades, from obama working for the chinese, to trump and the pelosi' splitting the DNC and co-opting the RNC, has been intentional. Everything you've seen has been the DNC elites infighting over which nation, britain, or china, will control the remnants of the u.s. after they collapse us. Half or more of congress and the senate will likely be dead within the space of a year or 18 months to foreign intelligence assassination events disguised as either terrorism and/or 'mob retributions' from the citizens of both sides, regardless of parties. They'll use the economic collapse as fuel for recruitment to both sides. And use people through the administrative state to make it worse and fan the flames of public and frontline military anger against anyone and everyone in public office. The goal by foreign powers here is a level of violence, disorder, and dysfunction so sudden and so severe that it shocks and paralyzes the nation. We'll see reprisal killings against the media in small measure, though they'll ;argely be off limits. Mostly from private elements involved in either side of these warring fifth columns. These incidents will quickly be suppressed because both sides will need the media to fan the flames and convey a state of panic to the nation 24/7. To really pump up the fear and anger i nthe same way the riots under trump happened, but on a whole other scale. Any media or agency that doesn't cooperate will likely be bombed or butchered in mass casualty events by either the british controlled faction of the american security state (israeli mossad and fbi), or by the chinese factions shock troops (cia, antifa, blm). The cartels will be split down the middle on loyalty The amount of bioterror incidents or 'variant' outbreaks, bombings, shootings, destruction of infrastructure, will likely ramp up two orders of magnitude, as both foreign-controlled sides go to war with one another on u.s. and western soil. As a response the states will resort to calling up the national guard and militias, rather than the common doomporn of mass disarmament. This will be worth fuck all at stopping the sides fighting at that point, because neither the guard or the militias are equipped to handle or shut down color-revolution operations funded, organized, and backed by foreign nations. At this point china will make a direct move on japan, not simply taiwan. The u.s. presidency will seemingly be incapacitated or unwilling to do anything. There will be a wide spread belief that after japan, they will strike Hawaii or the mainland. There will be a large scale defection by governors and states, outright declaring themselves separate. The u.s. pentagon will go to war with 'separatists', and promptly split its own forces right down the middle as a result, if the on-the-ground intelligence networks directing the competing foreign proxies on u.s. soil, haven't already planned and instigated that very thing. Any neutral high level elements of the government, in particular the pentagon, that remain, will attempt to stop this cycle by crashing the internet hard, putting a stop to the news media fueling it. Foreign adversaries on both sides will then direct their special operations to attack the grid itself, because the public will blame catastrophic levels of death that would cause, on the same perpetrators in the pentagon who will take down communications, and the public at this point will believe it. Thus will go the last shred of public cooperation with the federal government. In it's place foreign adversaries will co-opt the emergency broadcast system and cell networks, whats left of them, to direct propaganda directly at the american public, cutting the media loose. Instead the communication blackout, and the grid after it, will massively increase the confusion, anger, and disorder. The unions, mostly foreign owned at this point (both sides), will strike, on rail lines, on public works, and in industry everywhere, including transport and delivery, paralyzing the nation and our logistics. Gangs will, with the help of foreign intelligence assets, organize to begin mass killing, looting, and rape, in order to bog down any remaining military and law enforcement resources, leading to the remaining citizens splintering into self defense groups which will largely be outgunned by military grade equipment being provided by china, israel, and british military elements. When the smoke clears after 2-4 weeks of this madness, actual martial law (or a "state of emergency") will have long been declared. What is left of the military will have been called up into general mobilization indefinitely 'for the forseeable future'. It'll be more like disaster aid, mixed with afghan style door to door raids in major cities, clean up basically. The media will have soldiers standing over them at all times, every channel thats still broadcasting, and those soldiers will have orders to arrest or kill any journalists who broadcast so much as a single word out of order. Total lockdown. The nation will wake up in a daze, as it's declared japan has been taken, maybe taiwan, that we've suffered several huge terrorist attacks and "no suspects have been named, or organizations, in this ongoing event." in order to quell dissent. After 3-5 days the power will come back on in most of the u.s, as the nation collectively comes to, and tries to figure out what madness had suddenly afflicted everyone. There will be curfews, and rationing immediately instituted, and military-grade mass surveillance equipment mass-deployed to cope with the "sudden change in the security situation of the nation." And the events of japan and taiwan will be declared, with open talk about a potential draft that never materializes. The pentagon will realize, after all the damage is done, how vastly it misunderstood its own vulnerability, and will be completely unprepared to respond to the events in the pacific as it copes with the amount of officials, and citizens dead or subverted, and infrastructure damage. At that point our adversaries will dump every piece of blackmail, every secret, openly onto the web for the american public to see. This will cause a firestorm, over the remaining public officials. An interim presidency will be declared, with congress suspended seemingly out of the blue 'for security reasons'. Though congress and the senate will still attempt to pull strings, the pentagon will ignore them as it tries to sort out who out of the millions of bureaucrats in america, up to and including congress, is working for the enemy (in addition to the media, defense contractors, NGOs, and major institutions). Because of these crippling conditions, the military will withdraw navies to our shores, to defend against a potential invasion. Likely directly to port. They won't leave them offshore for fear that would make them easy targets. They'll put them in port so that citizens essentially become collateral in the event the enemy attacks, an attack that may or may never come. There will be a general recognition that america had become "arrogant" on the world stage, and had been "humbled" by events it was not prepared to respond to. Enemies who had, for years, simply "given back to america as good as it gave." Many the world over will even celebrate, seeing it as karma for the years of violence, drug trafficking, terrorism, and 'color revolutions' the 'us' had foisted onto numerous nations. The u.s. government crippled by a sudden singular 2-4 week period of seemingly "out of the blue" infighting and mass violence--that will appear inexplicable, and whose reasons will mostly be suppressed or dismissed as "long standing feuds between rival parties that had come to a boil." as if anyone on the left or the right is armed or organized enough to take on the government, let alone the other members of the 'other' party's base. We will lick our wounds, and collectively, as a nation discuss "the new security threats that have emerged in a now, multi-polar world, on the ashes of the old order." And then, if or when 'elections' resume, there will be a whole hell of a lot more vetting, done by the military itself, of public officials in office, and those running *for* office. The u.s. will very rapidly transition to a "new civic populism" (avoiding the word nationalism) and militarism behind a new sense that "on this day, we're all americans. Our nation was attacked by outsiders, and those outsiders helped those who saw their fellow americans as outsiders to commit these attacks. But today, after everything, we are all americans." And we'll pivot toward manufacturing and isolationism as the u.s. spy state massively ramps up because of "muh terrorism" to cope with the fallout of decades and decades of foreign and internal subversion. This is what I see coming. I hope I'm wrong, but this is how I see it going down.
