Pompeo Says 'Collapse From Within Is Possible

[holdover]

Looks like all you boneheads on here are on the right track


In a speech Tuesday at the Ronald Reagan Library, former Secretary of State and potential 2024 presidential contender Mike Pompeo shared what he sees as destabilizing elements within the nation that he believes could lead to collapse.

He's going to need to brush up on his teleprompter-reading skills if he wants to follow up on those supposed presidential ambitions.

I have been waiting for a good thread to start talking about the fifth column

Not only possible, but inevitable.


I used to hold out hope that the country would out live me, but I'm pretty sure that's a pipe dream now.

Have to agree. I've been reading things that lead me to agree 100%, and that the nation will collapse internally from planned changes to the "rules".

As one analyst pointed out, in the past the "populace", in general, could disagree on most everything if the economy was strong and the "rules" were followed. With 3 presidential elections viewed as "illegitimate" this century so far by different cohorts (Bush II, Trump, Biden) and the removal, not breakdown, of law and order (for example, decriminalization of shoplifting in CA and police defunding), one cohort is changing the rules, not breaking them.

Not sure how others here perceive it, but for myself, the entire government, at all levels, is so corrupt, out of touch with reality and biased that I consider all of government to be illegitimate, as well as their agents..

It's been out of touch for 50+ years, this isn't a new thing. I lean even beyond that though. It's completely in touch, it just doesn't give a shit.

To Pompeo:
No shit Sherlock.

The debt ceiling was reached yesterday and our Democrat Regime went on vacation. Gee, I remember the media peeing in their pants when Trump let it go down to the wire. Today, not a word. Anyway, once you hear about banks locking their doors and ATM's, or you hear about hordes of people trying to get cash out of the bank, it is over. I suggest instead of leaving any cash in your bank earning zero that you put in your gun safe. Don't get it all out at once, but a little here and there.
Just remember, in a coup de tat the TV and Radio stations were always seized first. Today, I dunno, you would have to seize the internet. But for god's sake turn off your GPS.

Fear mongering typical of politicians.
Why not talk how the entire political system is rotten to the core and it has been for the last 1/2 century?

Much, much longer.
See the act of 1871 set forth by congress.

There is and never was any doubt that this Republic will fall from within! The last and longest lasting Republic suffered the same, as it wasn't from the barbarians beating down the gates of Rome that caused it's fall. Decay, corruption and the degradation of it's society... And more! But it's wasn't by succumbing to enemies, invading hordes (initially).

We are living witness to possibly some of the most trying times our social compact and political experiment has encountered in quite some time! But it's definitely from within...

We probably won't see the end result, and this blister is going to fester for a long, long time. Like a bad rash that just won't go away! Especially because the indoctrination of the youth is a core complicity entwined in the agenda, knowing to plant seeds today bears fruit much later. But it's still from within... And those masses jumping the fence being given free reign over the domain. Given more help than even citizens receive all for a vote, little other plausible validation for any such effort, or lack thereof.

But the Colosseum still stands, a tenant of what once was, for all to see so many centuries later. No worries as generations pass, they can walk by the Smithsonian and marvel at it too... And what once was!
