A California professor and former CIA analyst said that white Christian men are poised to start a civil war in America
Barbara F. Walter, author of the 2022 book How Civil War Starts, made her inflammatory comments on PBS Tuesday evening while speaking with anchor Hari Sreenivasan.
Walter's remarks come just days before the midterm elections, which the left and right alike have been characterizing as a battle over democracy itself.
Sreenivasan asked Walter - who said she studied foreign nations on the brink of civil war for the CIA - how far off a war within the US could be.
Walter then went on to explain the past '100 years' showed that civil wars are typically started along divided religious and ethnic lines, when a previously dominant group begins to see their position wane.
She then went on to say that 'white men' who 'also tended to be Christian,' were beginning to see such a decline in their position in the US, and that they had 'almost exclusively' been the perpetrators of violent extremism in the country since 2008.
Walter is a professor of pacific international relations at the University of California San Diego. She describes herself as 'one of the world's leading experts on civil wars, political violence, and terrorism' on her website.
Her latest book claims that 'healthy democracies' tend to be safe from civil wars, but suggests the US is becoming increasingly unstable. Walter's website calls her book 'urgent and disturbing,' and says it is about identifying the signs of a civil war in the US in the hopes of avoiding one.

Guess he didn’t real about all those BLM/Antifa riots and burning of property.
Shut up lib d*p sh*t.
Yet the professor is a white woman herself. What a Karen.
With “analysis” like this, it’s no wonder our intelligence agencies are an absolute joke...
Yeah, so?
CIA - Central Imbecile Agency
It shows what the CIA thinks of conservative Americans
CIA had no clue the Iron Curtain was going to fall when it did. They are worthless.
What these idiots are saying is the complete opposite of what is really occurring. Do people even analyze what is going on instead of listening to the chicken little’s from the left?
Look at me, look at me!!!
Buy my book, buy my book!!!!
I don't care if she identifies as a microcephalic wombat, she is demonstrably wrong about this idiot thesis. Let her cite a single example.
on her website, she still refers to the “kidnapping attempt” on Michigan Governor by “armed white extremists.”

How to say: “I am a paid off shill.”...
without saying: “I am a paid off shill.”
Another academic activist pinhead who refuses to see reality, and who apparently hates Christianity.
If they really thought we were on the verge of “Civil War”, don’t you think they might try to do something to avert it? Like maybe find out what the half the population’s grievances are and see if they can be addressed?
It seems on the contrary they are doing everything in their power to push peoples’ buttons...
And people can also believe ex-CIA employees who become teachers have sex with their pets.
A civil war is coming. Just one “wrong” election is all it will take.
It will be started by the BLM/Antifa shock troops of the Left.
Racist, sexist hate speech.
Ethnic European America is not in decline, it is facing genocide.
