Lew Rockwell and rumors of Civil War

IN AN ARTICLE ENTITLED “CRITICAL DECISION” CALLS FOR U.S. MILITARY TO CHOOSE SIDES

(Dec. 7, 2009) — On the 68th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor, a day that will live in infamy — infamy not only because of the treacherous attack of the United States of America by the forces of Imperial Japan, but infamous in more recent years as it has become known that the U.S. Government and the President were warned by British Intelligence of the Impending Attack — Lew Rockwell has published an essay by Michael Gaddy, entitled, “Critical Decision”, which cites the ominous rumor published by the European Times, that Obama is moving 20,000 troops to Northcom to forestall the outbreak of Civil War by the end of winter.

The article by Gaddy calls for U.S. Military personnel to choose sides.

However the article by the European Times is unsigned and closely follows sources in Russian Intelligence, who would be more than glad to foster and see civil war in the United States.

When rumors cite rumors, then there is a loss of the authentic chain of information.

The Post & Email sees no evidence yet that Obama has taken these steps.  When we see resignations of top brass in all branches of the military, then one will be able to infer indirectly that the word is out, that the White House plans to use troops against civilians; for then, some principled officers will see that the only choice is resignation; even though many might remain to lead their troops in defense of the citizenry and Constitution.

The rumor also is not very self-consistent, since 20,000 troops assigned to Northcom was a decision made in the summer; it is not news.  Also, it does not appear how 20,000 U.S. Military with any manner of equipment could even maintain order in one metropolitan area, let alone withstand 200 million armed civilians.

About all 20,000 could do, perhaps, is guard Washington, D.C..

No, the disparity of support and opposition is too great.  If it comes to armed conflict, Obama’s only hope will be to flee to another country.

What American citizens have more to fear is the use of media outlets to spread unwarranted fear and confusion, to demoralize and subdue them.  The same big money is behind the Republican and Democratic Parties, and all of the major media outlets.  It is in interest to spread disinformation of all kinds.

True patriots should neither desire civil war nor Obama’s continuance in power, ineligbile as he is to hold office.  Civil war is not necessary when the method of so called people’s revolutions or orange revolutions has shown to be very effective in other countries.
