The Three Stages of a Revolution: The People Are Being Dragged Into the Third Stage

The tinderbox could well ignite at any moment over anything...

Stage One is the war of ideas, which we have been seeing for the past several decades.

Stage Two is civil disobedience, which we have also been seeing in the form of protests and demonstrations--some heart felt and genuine (the majority of Tea Party protests), some to disguise a hidden agenda (Occupy Wall Street) in order to manipulate those who had legitimate disagreements with certain policies.

Stage Three Physical confrontation between large numbers of the citizenry-- maybe armed, maybe not, and the authorities. The Bundy/BLM standoff was perilously close to an all out shoot out. The on-going assault upon the second amendment had not outlawed enough guns.
The BLM did not back down because they were out gunned but because the sight of the Feds mowing down US citizens over  cattle would be bad PR. There may be more such confrontations should  DC start sending troops in riot gear to quell citizens who are protesting the dumping of  illegal immigrants on their towns, and PR be damned.

From DC Clothesline "The resulting instability of our economy will provide the pretext to institute a series of false flag attacks which will provide the federal government with a preemptive opportunity to impose one of the most draconian forms of martial law that the world has ever seen. There is a chance that the American people will shed their shackles and finally rise up and that is exactly what the globalists desire.
If the globalists can draw us into a civil war and crush the opposition, they can end all pretenses and their full blown tyranny will be fully exposed for all to see and experience firsthand.  How close is America to falling into a civil war?"
