Well, here we go again. I must say, it gets exceedingly boring having to rehash all these same "interpretive" arguments about the Titor hoax well over 10 years past his own expiration date. I could probably cut and paste the same responses I gave to these same interpretive dances years ago, but I am too lazy to go back and find them.
So as the great philosopher David Bowie once exclaimed: "Let's Dance!"
His 'civil war' predictions only fall flat if you look at them in the classical sense of the word 'war'.
In other words, you need to re-define the words "civil war" to make your interpretive dance appeal to the lowest common denominators and true believers? Admit it, that is what you are forced to do. Because the simple, agreed-upon definition (again, we have dictionaries for a very good reason) simply does not work for your dance recital.
Civil war - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
"
a war between opposing groups of citizens of the same country"
And just to make sure we don't allow you to re-interpret the word "war" to suit your needs:
"
a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations"
And please do not try to use some of the other definitions of "war". When the word "civil" is pre-pended to the word "war" there is no argument that this means an armed struggle between opposing groups of citizens of the same country.
There is, and has been a visible, yet obscured 'war' against the people of America by its government.
It 'has' been increasingly getting worse from 9/11 onwards.
What you are describing does not match the definition of civil war. It certainly meets the definition of government oppression, but that is not civil war. And if the people rise up against a government that is STILL not a civil war. That is called a revolution. And here I thought the people of Australia were at least as efficient in their use of the English language as the English were. Perhaps I am wrong?
We now find ourselves in a classic Orwellian society of indoctrination, the removal of opinion/critical thinking and almost every single liberty of a 'free' peoples have been removed.
Agreed, but again...not civil war.
The populace is distracted with twerking, dances, parodys, 'entertainment' and carefully scripted 'news/propoganda' that 'everything is, and will be, ok'...
This is more akin to what happened in Rome than it is a civil war. So again, Titor's predictions are way off. Many use the term "bread and circuses" for what you described, which does indeed hearken back to how Rome went into decline.
Why is the Us postal service, DHS, Parks services and a multitude of government entities buying up million upon millions of rounds of ammunition? Why did the last lead smelting plants close under Obama? No lead smelting means no more production of Ammunition.
Why collect, analyze and eavesdrop on every single US citizen?
I'm afraid these are not wild and crazy 'conspiracy' theories anymore. I wish they were.
And NONE of those match a civil war prediction...even if they are all true.
Titor predicted an American Federal Empire. Just because there no ACME sign that says 'Federal AMerican EMpire' this way', doesnt mean it is not real.
Please do cite Titor's EXACT words (and source) when you make such claims. I insist only because we have had way too many people argue what "Titor said" and it usually ends up NOT being anything close to what he actually said. Citation and source, please.
