April 2021: As I predicted in writing many times (Riots and violence will get worse)
Michael Yon Online ^ | 19 Apr, 2021 | Michael Yon

(unedited mind dump from Central America)

It’s mid-April and violence is picking up in United States. As I predicted many times long back. Often I wrote these things right here on Patreon, or said during interviews. Of course I cannot tell the future, but I have spent enough time in and studying wars that my estimations are far more likely to become true than not.

Who else, anywhere, predicted far in advance that April 2021 would likely see significant change in the character of unrest? I don’t know of anyone.

Keep track of my words. Hold me accountable. I am very careful before saying or writing something I must live with.

My sense at this time is that we will see a dramatic increase in unrest during 2021, and more so in 2022.

It’s not about sparks. It’s about conditions. I just drove thousands of miles across America sensing conditions. Those who have followed my work in Iraq, Afghanistan, Thailand, Hong Kong, and more, know to listen.

Now is time to repeat something. I am penalized for delivering bad news. When I first wrote in 2006 that the Afghan war was going backwards, support donations fell through the floor. And notice that I actually predicted that would happen in 2006. There is a tendency to support good news and penalize bad news. I want to write that things are looking up internally for United States. But that would be a lie.

Go back and spend an hour looking what the pack was writing about Afghanistan. The pack was writing about how great the Afghan war was going. I was the Lone Ranger. But it was clear. I was there. And I know what to look for. Being there is not enough. You must know what you are feeling for. Same in Iraq. All my dispatches are still online.

Diagnosing cancer is unpleasant. Especially so when I am diagnosing my own country and family.

On an international front, the United States is making a tremendous mistake by not recognizing that Japan is by far our most important international partner. Alleged insults by our leadership to Japan must be clarified, and if any offense was given, a quick and sincere effort to amend any cuts. This matter is of utmost importance.

The wellbeing of the entire world rests heavily on the stability of United States, and our relations with the world. Especially so with Japan. Very few “analysts” seem to understand this.

Just back from an Embera village and am at a bigger Embera village that has a single, very slow wifi by the church at the municipal center. Been hot work out there and we drank a ton of coconuts. Fresh coconuts off the tree instantly rejuvenating. Far better than water or anything you will find in a store.

If we are in luck, electricity and water will be on in Sambu and we will get a shower. Diane and Francisco are treating patients and I came to SITREP you.

Thank you for all support. I am sorry to deliver bad estimations. Sorry for my country, the world, and for my accounts. But it is what it is.

Unlike most of us, Michael has seen this many times before. I hope he is wrong, but it looks like he will be right.

He’s been right more than he’s been wrong, and I don’t think it takes a seer to know what’s coming. The Democrats have stomped on the gas and are plowing through the streets of America to sow chaos. They need to bring about nationwide chaos to finish the globalist takeover. Trump was a 4 year speed bump on their roadmap, so they’ve got a lot of ground to make up.

Freepers have seen this coming for years and years now.

Our country is in the middle of a civil war. Frankly, a lot of us wondered what was taking so damned long for the actual fighting to break out.

The people that riot don’t want government at all and the dems use them and allow them to destroy. First was to blame it on Trump. Now it’s to push a agenda for gun control. Trump offered to help these states but they denied the help. Now they are loose cannons. One time a city took Trump on the offer and he stopped it in 30 minutes. Notice these riots and looting don’t happen in Republican states. Florida has had very little rioting. Its just shocking this is allowed to happen. Some of these cities are like war zones in third world countries.

What is happening in America has happened many times throughout recorded history. In America over the last sixty years there has been a progressive steady increase in the numbers that hold decadent, epicurean, neo pagan values. This is manifested by a widespread acceptance of drug use, earth and celebrity worship, abortion, hedonism, ppornography and homosexuality. These amoral people gravitate to the Left. They have managed to seize power. There no longer exists a reasonable social consensus of commonly held values within America. History clearly demonstrates what inevitably comes.

No furtive calls for “unity” will alter the coming course of events. Decent, rational people first and foremost must unify to protect themselves and their families by any means necessary.

"If you vote for Goldwater, you vote for War!" LBJ was elected and we got War!
"If you vote for Reagan, you vote for War!" Reagan was elected and we got Peace!

Anyone else see the LIE from the LEFT!?

Yes, folks have to realize that this is all part of the demonrats' plan.

We also have to realize that there are not many of these "revolutionary soldiers", their size is magnified by the allied msm.

There is a core cadre that flies to the hotspots to organize this crap.

Of course, the DOJ knows who they are, they play for the same team!

Agree. I think it’s started. It’s hard to recognize because when Americans think of civil conflict we think of men lined up across from one another in a Napoleonic fashion. Americans should study the Irish Troubles as that’s much closer to what we’re in the initial stages of now. The Right is a little late to the match, but I suspect by this summer things will be interesting.

You think they try to bring this madness out to the heavily-armed suburbs?

I don’t know.... maybe. Or more likely, it starts to move out the black block mass mob with umbrella phase and into something more cell based. Bombings, assassinations, kidnappings, small ambushes, etc. As history usually shows, some event or occurrence will dramatically influence the direction all of this goes and how it unfolds. I do believe we’ve crossed the rubicon and the die is cast.

That is the goal.

And the police will work very hard to keep the burbs from fighting back.

Pay attention to who they protect, who they destroy, and who they ignore.

What I haven’t understood is how the Left has so far maligned the Police.

If the Liberals’ expect and encourage an open and direct confrontation with citizens, wouldn’t they be assuring themselves of Police compliance, instead of alienating them as they do?

The burbs need a reliable patriot communication strategy. I believe the cities will be the targets as the rioters seem to prefer a few square blocks to threaten and the ultra liberal mayors managing the police to stand down and the Soros funded DA's make it a safe space for anarchy.

They can intimidate single Patriots, onesies and twosies, but 50 or 60 suburban Patriots with rifles?

There are a lot of regular guys, Engineers, truck drivers, mechanics, that are normally pretty quiet but will not stand for the BLM/Antifa pillaging their suburban neighborhoods, threatening their families.

Heck, the local police are our neighbors, our kids play ball together.
This sets up an odd dynamic.

It does.

However in major cities those same cops are being scorned and excluded in the burbs by the Woke.

Where I live? Not so much. In the Twin Cities? Yep.
