It doesn't take any brilliant analytical mind to discern that American society is losing its rudder and that there are powerful forces seeking to divide us at a critical juncture, provoking us to civil war.

After decades of ideological attacks on our gatekeeping institutions by globalists with no allegiance to this country, America's sense of identity and purpose is dangerously close to dead.

A country without a cohesive identity is a country ripe for manipulation, division and ultimately war among its factions.

When the elites feel their power slipping, which I believe they do, that's when they adopt a "burn it all down" mentality. Gaslighting in the media, finger pointing and scapegoating all play into the strategy and we've seen plenty of that over the last few years.

But it's not just America. It's Western civilization as a whole that is withering. And when civilizations implode, everyone suffers. The good, the bad, and the indifferent.

Many of my Christian friends say not to worry, everything will work itself out just fine. God's in control. I read history and see that just because God is in control doesn't mean that His followers won't suffer persecution, even to the point of death.

But there is a difference between dying for your faith and dying just because you walked into an unfortunate situation in a public space that you thought was safe. Maybe it always was safe before, but now isn't. Or, maybe you discover the hard way that your home appeared as low-hanging fruit for a professional criminal or gang of criminals. They attack and you're caught off guard.

What I'm saying is, the world is about to become a much more dangerous place, both at home and abroad.
