In 1990, few were predicting the breakup of the Soviet Union.
But it came – only a year later.
With 2009 set to begin in a few days, there is someone predicting the breakup of the United States – a year from now.
His name is Igor Panarin, a former KGB analyst and dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry's school for foreign diplomats – in other words, a serious fellow.
For him, it's nothing new. He's been making the same prediction for last 10 years. But, until recently, no one took him seriously. And then came the economic calamity that has rocked Americans and the rest of the world, too. Now, Panarin's predictions of an end of the United States, due to economic and moral collapse, is being taken seriously by many.
Panarin blames out-of-control mass immigration, economic decline and moral degradation for what he believes could be a civil war as early as next fall and a total collapse of the dollar. By June or July of 2010, he sees the U.S. breaking into six pieces.
Now, I'm not buying into Panarin's entire prediction. But I do think there's something to it.
I've been talking about this possibility more and more in recent years. I don't see how this house of cards we're building can possibly withstand the next significant windstorm. The political ties no longer bind. Only inertia and the threat of force hold us together.
The economic crisis is clearly visible to all – but all the wrong buttons are being pushed. In fact, the same people who got us into this mess are digging a deeper hole for all of us to climb out of.
The other two crises he points to have scarcely even been recognized by many people – out-of-control immigration and moral rot.

Why would a break up be all that bad?
Let the leftists screw themselves while the rest of us are left alone.
Well, the media has been spinning these absurd Obama/Lincoln comparisons, why not make them even more similar. The red states can split from the blue and engage in a whole new Civil War!
I’ll wager the new confederacy (red states) will fare better this time.
/sarcasm
BUMP
>>I have a very uncomfortable feeling that some of those in this thread might even feel that the Civil War was unnecessary.
If ending slavery was the goal (as the modern revisionist history tell us it was), then it was unnecessary.
I think everyone but this Russian fool predicts that. I don't see it happening in my lifetime, but it is more likely then the USA breaking up.
>>What ever happened to this phrase in the Pledge of Allegiance : “One Nation, Indivisible.” ?
Note that it doesn’t say “one country, indivisible”.
Socialists may live in the same country, but don’t belong to the same nation as me.
Chi-car-go deserves the new king.

This Russian’s prediction may be valid (see “Civil War Two”)
but his depiction of the areas of breakup are simplistic.
He has not taken into consideration the areas of racial
concentration.
Already happened. Those freedom-loving states are called 'New Hampshire,' 'Arizona' and 'Virginia,' among others.
Corsi claimed that we will have the NAU by 2010. Those folks better get crackin’.
“Secession is cowardice.”
I’m not for secession.
I know a few states that should be kicked out of the union. Let them fend for themselves.
Oh. It was Corsi as reported in Farah’s paper.
Thanks. I dont read WND
I’m sorry to say that in a modern world you don’t get to be left alone. You get to navigate an increasingly complex set of problems. The risks are great, but so are the rewards.
In our case, we’d lose Puerto Rico, Hawaii, American Samoa and a few odds and ends. We’ve never really conquered anyone who is really begging for liberty now.
And how, pray tell, is that going to help anything?
There's ignorant, and then there's stupid...
WND simply “enabled” Corsi. And if you go to the WND website, it might still offer you a signed copy of Corsi’s book for twenty bucks. :)
