Civil War Is An Internal Cold War

Actually, a Civil War is the government at war with itself.  That is precisely what
is going on now in Washington D.C.

People may think of the Civil War as a violent clash of armies.  But this Civil War is
going on inside the government itself.  Will the public support it with an army in order
to actually fight it?  There is no sign that this is about to happen.

Since the election of 2016, we have had an ongoing attempt to sabotage the person of
Donald Trump.  Now that he has been elected, and sworn into office, and acting in his
capacities as President of the United States, there is an illegal attempt to thwart his
authority and remove him from office.  This is the very definition of a coup.

Of course, I refer to the Mueller investigation, which by the way, is illegal.  It is becoming more and more clear that it is illegal, and those who run it know full well that it is illegal, but don't care. They wish to impose their will even if it means the ruin of the nation.

There is a lot more to this than Mueller. With the Federal Reserve kicking interest rates higher, despite the fact that inflation is not accelerating, there are other fronts in the war.

Why would a Fed Chairman do that?  He was recommended by Trump's own cabinent official.  Why would he commit sabotage?  It is becoming quite clear that a lot of Trump's people are not really his people.  These people are serving the existing power scheme, and they do not wish for Trump to succeed.  What better way to make Trump fail than to induce a recession with excessively high interest rates, which sole purpose is not to stop inflation, but to sabotage the economy so that the blame goes to Trump, and the public stops supporting him.

Yes, it is suspicious for the Fed Chairman to raise rates, and also Mnuchin, for recommending him to Trump.  First, Sessions recuses himself, which brought in Mueller.  Now, Mnuchin brings in a Fed Chair who is hellbent on monkey-wrenching the economy.  A pattern emerges.

But this is not all.  With the recent news that Chief Justice Roberts will overturn 200 years of legal precedent, and give standing to foreigners that are not even on American soil, the question is repeated once again----Why?  Could it not be the same phenomenon?

Roberts also appoints the judges to the FISA court.  It is suspicious that this court would approve a spying operation on then candidate Trump, when the evidence was not verified, and was salacious. That according to FBI Director Comey, who didn't bother to assure the court that the evidence was verified, and didn't care in any case.  This was Comey's own words.

The practical effect of Roberts' decision to overturn 200 years of precedents is to encourage the continuing effort to swamp the country with illegal immigrants, so that they will vote against any effort to defend the border.

Is it not to sabotage the foreign policy of Trump so that he cannot be allowed to succeed at what he does in office?  The ruling by Roberts almost guarantees chaos in the court system.  The Supreme Court has to have the final say, but Roberts refuses to allow this.

Why would the Supreme Court fail in its duties if it is not to destabilize the country?

What ever happened to stare decisis?  They sure seem to care about that when it comes to abortion, but now it is nowhere to be seen.

In so doing, he opens up the court system to enormous mischief.  The Court is the ultimate guardian of stability.  With this leg knocked off from under our government, the meaning is clear.  The chaos will be blamed once again on Trump, who has nothing to do with this.

Clearly, the Establishment wishes to overturn the Trump Presidency, and they want to appear within the law while they do it.  They are not within the law anymore if they are going to overturn 200 years worth of precedents just because Trump is in the White House.

However, if sanity is to prevail, and chaos is to be avoided, it must be made as clear as possible that this is a coup attempt.  They are quite determined, and they will have to matched in determination if this coup attempt is to be stopped.

A coup attempt is unlawful by definition.   The problem here is that the plotters are attempting to make this appear to be in support of the rule of law.  They are doing this in direct opposition to the rule of law.

How can this coup be stopped? It is not clear that it can without violence, or the threat of violence.

It is getting that bad, and that urgent.   Somebody or something has to make these people reconsider what they are doing.

But there will be no violent Civil War.  The public is unlikely to support a shooting war.

Instead, there is this coup.  The real Civil War is the coup attempt going on in Washington DC at this very time.

The reaction afterward will just be a mopping up operation.

If those who think they can fight the government when it holds all the power, they are kidding themselves.  If the rule of law is to prevail, the plotters must be stopped, and it looks like it is not succeeding because the normal channels are breaking down.

That is to say that the coup attempt will succeed, and it will be mostly, if not totally bloodless. That makes it a Cold Civil War. Or a soft coup.  In any case, unless the public gets inflamed with passion, there will no shooting war.

Not that that cannot happen. It just isn't happening at the moment.
