The Perils Of Intranational Turmoil

We still have national enemies. And they are watching our polarized state, and looking to press on the divisions, break us open where we're cracking, find ways to spark the tinderbox that is our national politics.

OAKLAND (CBS SF) – A federal terrorism task force arrested a man they said intended to detonate a car bomb in front of an Oakland bank in the hopes of sparking a civil war by making the bomb blast appear to be the work of anti-government “militias.”

He was hoping to go to Afghanistan and join the Taliban. I'll leave it to you, dear Morons, to elucidate why he seemed to know there would be no profit in pinning his villainy on (currently pro-government) lefties.

Why, you would almost think that the establishment was of the Left; and that it was slavering over the prospect of a general crackdown against conservatives, and that this mutant had somehow sensed that current in the zeitgeist.

And if he sensed it, then how long do we have before framing 'militias' becomes a fashion?

It goes without saying, the debt we all owe to the FBI, and everybody else who is standing on that wall.

Thanks to Sobek.
