Earlier this year, I wrote an article called “The Future of America”. In it, I mention that Christians in America are aware that the US is not mentioned in the End Times but that this doesn’t necessarily mean America no longer exists, but that it is just a nation of less prominence. Is it possible that America could break apart? If you’re someone who only comes here for preparedness related information, you may want to skip this article. However, it will deal with preparedness and how you plan your future.
In 2008, I read an article from the Wall Street Journal called “As if Things Weren’t Bad Enough, Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S.”. In it, a Russian professor named Igor Panarin predicted that the U.S. would break apart in 2010. He says “…mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation will trigger a civil war next fall and the collapse of the dollar…” Obviously he is wrong, or is his timing just off?
After I read the article in 2008, I filed it in the mind bank and forgot about it. That is until recently. The day after Election Day, I woke up to the headline on the Drudge Report that said “America the Divided” and it had a map separated by red and blue. A week or so later my wife mentioned an article she had seen that said some Texas citizens had filed a petition for secession and it was quickly gaining signatures. Within a few days I saw reports of more private citizens from other states following the Texan’s example. It was then that this article popped back into mind. I just made a mental note of it and moved on.
A few days later, a reader sent me a link to a prophecy from Rick Joyner where he made mention to Russians holding the belief that the U.S. would break into four or more parts. It was then that I really started to ponder this, wondering if it is possible and, if so, how it might happen.
Russian Professor Igor Panarin
I read a few different articles on this professor and the one by the Wall Street Journal called “As if Things Weren’t Bad Enough, Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S.” is, by far, the best. In it, Mr. Panarin is described as “not a fringe figure. A former KGB analyst, he is dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s academy for future diplomats. He is invited to Kremlin receptions, lectures students, publishes books, and appears in the media as an expert on U.S.-Russia relations.” I only know what I have read in these few articles about this man. He seems to have a solid resume. We might see similar credentials for commentators on any one of the alphabet stations. As to how Mr. Panarin came to this conclusion;
“He based the forecast on classified data supplied to him by FAPSI analysts, he says. He predicts that economic, financial and demographic trends will provoke a political and social crisis in the U.S. When the going gets tough, he says, wealthier states will withhold funds from the federal government and effectively secede from the union. Social unrest up to and including a civil war will follow. The U.S. will then split along ethnic lines, and foreign powers will move in.”
The article goes on to explain just how he thinks the U.S. will be broken up.
“California will form the nucleus of what he calls “The Californian Republic,” and will be part of China or under Chinese influence. Texas will be the heart of “The Texas Republic,” a cluster of states that will go to Mexico or fall under Mexican influence. Washington, D.C., and New York will be part of an “Atlantic America” that may join the European Union. Canada will grab a group of Northern states Prof. Panarin calls “The Central North American Republic.” Hawaii, he suggests, will be a protectorate of Japan or China, and Alaska will be subsumed into Russia.”
How Could It Happen?
I don’t know if this could happen to America, but since our great nation isn’t mentioned in the end times, it is a possibility, as are so many other reasons it’s not mentioned. Since it is a possibility, what would need to happen to change the U.S.A. into a fractured continent of territories? Below are some things I think would need to happen for this to take place. Some of the things listed might already be taking place, but they would need to become more commonplace.
The military might of the U.S.A. is unmatched. If the U.S is brought down, it would have to come from within. Pitting the right against the left, the rich against the poor, one race against another and dividing the UNITED people of America, would be a must.
Capitalism would need to be broken and turned into a form of socialism. There would need to be so many people receiving government handouts that it would imbalance the economic system…Cloward and Piven strategy anyone?
There would need to be decaying morals; things that were once seen as obscene by the mainstream would need to become commonplace. Those who hold to the morals of the past would need to be demonized and called “haters”.
I think Mr. Panarin is right, that eventually civil war would need to break out. Where would the lines be drawn this time? He claims that it would be along racial lines, but I’m not so sure. I have written before that I think there is more racial tension now than there was a few years ago, but I don’t see it as bad enough to go to war over.
If the Cloward and Piven strategy overloaded the economy and the tax rate became crippling to the point where a state or two said “enough is enough”, there might be enough angst between the givers and the takers, between states that were bankrupt and states that were able to keep to their budget, to cause riots and violence to break out. Depending on how the federal government responded to these situations, a civil war could possibly break out.
Pop Culture
I have noticed that in some TV shows and movies, the U.S. was broken into parts. In the television show “Jericho”, there were nukes and an EMP that shut the grid down. Towns fought against each other and militias formed to take control. I forget the lines that were drawn, but I believe there were at least four main pieces. There is also the current television show Revolution. In it, there was something that brought the electric grid down. The show takes place 15 years after that and the United States is no more. It is broken up into territories controlled by militias. I just watched the remake of Red Dawn. In it, there are a few countries who have taken pieces of America captive as the small armies wage war to reunite her.
Does this mean anything? Probably not, but I do find it interesting that some of the most creative minds writing screenplays for movies and television see America being segmented after a major terrorist attack, the electric grid going down and not coming up or after invasion.
Giants Do Fall
Other large nations have fallen and been broken up. The Roman Empire is probably the most notable in ancient history, but there were many others. The USSR is the most notable in modern times, falling in 1991 and breaking up into fifteen countries. They were the only other super power, but they proved you can’t be too big to fail.
Final Thoughts
Is this possible? I don’t know, I pray not. I say “God forbid it” with one breath and with the next, “Your will be done.” I was praying for America and thinking about what may lay ahead. I believe God told me, “Do not let your love of country come between you and I.” I don’t know what God has planned for America. Lord, please bring revival before any judgment.
