Rumors Of War: Is An American 'Holy War' Imminent?


The Coming American Holy War?





We stand at enormous risk today of “holy war” in America.

Usually those words are used as a figure of speech, or even as a joke. Today I mean neither of these. We’re looking at the grave possibility of the real thing. Not that there’s anything the least bit holy about “holy wars.” The name comes instead from both sides believing they’re fighting morally necessary battles, for values of ultimate, sacred importance. Both sides, I emphasize. We could be on the brink of that such an unholy disaster even now, even in America.

I do not write this as a prediction of holy war, only to describe the conditions that have put us at unacceptably high risk of one.

Be advised that it’s very likely you will react as you read some portions of this. “How could their side have done that to us!? Look at them — it’s all their fault! How could they think they’re so right?! They’re trying to destroy everything this country stands for!” Be assured that people on the other side are saying the same about yours. That’s why this is so fraught with danger.

I’ll try to describe the situation as objectively as I can.

Both sides are sure they are right. One side believes the other tried to steal the election, the other side believes the opposition actually did steal it. Each group suspects the other has been working to kill American democracy.

Both sides believe they can make a case that the other staged a coup. Trump supporters would say the coup succeeded, and therefore Biden’s regime is illegitimate. Biden supporters are relieved they headed off a coup attempt by the utterly despised Donald Trump.

The two sides do not comprise the whole country. NeverTrump conservatives and libertarians fit in neither group. The apathetic and the ignorant don’t care. But these two camps include enough people to pose significant potential for dangerous civil conflict.

This is the stuff of which holy wars are made. It is not necessary that both sides be “religious”; all that’s needed is that they see themselves as defending ultimate moral and national principles, against an evil usurping foe.

This is where we stand. The risk is high.

  1. In essence, live among the Godless in peace? Not happening, how this looks, don't know, but Godless men will take God Loving Folks over the Cliff, now in the name of God for the Good of All, doesn't one suppose there will be Resistance?

    Simpler put, IMO, would be, American's need witness by Military, (Before they entertain being part of the Police State), arrest those that we know have committed crimes while in our Government! Then, sort this all out Tribunal means! We have Laws, we are in this mess because, IMO, those with power, connections, money, people from Agencies in their pockets, they have committed crimes against our Constitutional Laws, Breached National Security as Traitor's, and got away with this for years while nothing was done, in my opinion! We just watched this banter back & forth with a Dance to pacify us while criminals with money got away with being caught doing wrong against the people of America, our Nation, and of course they would not, nor they did not, stop there, obviously!

    So letting criminals run amok has lead us to this crossroads where we make decisions as to how this will go now. God might give us a sign on how to proceed forward, being stupid might not be the answer after all? Perhaps Divine Intervention happens, and no one has to do a thing to correct Evil at this Level?? Bottom-line, back to Limited Government is the answer for both Godless & Christian's, a much more level playing field, and balanced with Good & Evil living on Earth, in my opinion. Bring it down a couple notches, Globalist's can whine all they want, but balance the beams is an answer to A Nation Divided, or an alternative might be quite an ugly mess, one would imagine!? Orwellian Tyrannical Ruler's are not an answer in 21st Century, populace won't tolerate bending over, in my opinion, for some Dofus behind the Curtain! Peace on Earth, even Godless have heard this, right?
