Well, "Chicken Little" is right… the sky has been falling for decades and no one is listening to him! America is on a trajectory of increasing violence that is turning towards a Civil War…
But before a Civil War goes full “Mad Max,” regardless of which side you’re on, read the REALISM of what will happen in an American Civil War. This is what you will start…

We Told You What War Would Look Like
May 23, 2025
We told you what war would look like. You just didn’t believe us.
Guys, if you’re looking for a half-baked answer to war, I’m not your guy. My thoughts on war are too brutal for 90% of the modern West to understand. Drones have compressed the battlespace. They don’t clean up war, they intensify it. They’ll drive Infantry into hiding, into trenches, tunnels, and buildings, and drive the enemy into those same places. And once they’re there, take a wild guess what happens next.
Do you think I’m going to risk precious Infantry lives clearing every single building room by room? No. That building gets leveled. That tunnel gets blown out. That trench complex gets shelled with white phosphorus into oblivion. Infantry with bayonets go in as a last resort. You think I’m going to fight “like a man”? Do I sound like the kind of man who shows up to war for a fair fight? I don’t. And I won’t. I cannot criticize another nation for being brutal in war. Because war is a contest of wills, and if you don’t kill enough of the enemy to break theirs, you don’t win. I’m not an armchair historian.
I’ve lived what happens when you don’t commit. And that’s exactly why I’m so cautious about war. Because once that beast is unleashed, you can’t walk it back. Not if you want to survive. Not if you want to win. Yes, more civilians will die than enemies. That’s not justification. That’s reality. Which is why the threshold for launching a war must be unimaginably high. But if I’m already there? If my civil affairs, PSYOPS, and info ops have warned civilians to leave.
If I’ve done everything I can to receive them before the first shot is fired. And a building still has combatants inside? That’s not a hostage situation. That’s not a negotiation. That’s a target. And I’m not ashamed to say it: Like it or not, this is the way. I’m not the FBI. I’m not SOF. I am the Infantry.
And by the time we get to the fight in large scale combat? All other more civilized and surgical options are off the table. Call me a war criminal if you must. Just remember, all wars are crimes.
From Author Jack Lawson…
A revealing, candid essay that InfantryDort has written. The truthful, gritty, revealing and no holds barred revelation of an Army Infantry Commanding Officer who has experienced combat in today’s world… whether it be a foreign war zone… or soon to come to America’s streets. He tells you what is going to happen… not from the theory of a book, but what he’s experienced. What it will be like for him, his troops… the ‘enemy’ and civilians caught in the midst of this ‘war.’
You may think of this essay like the story of “Chicken Little and the Sky is Falling” by Englishman Robert Greene Chandler. For those of you who weren’t paying attention in kindergarten (I had to refresh my memory), Chicken Little caused unjustified concern in people by warning all that “The sky is falling!” That after an acorn fell from a tree hitting the unfortunate little hen on the head. Obviously, in that story the sky was not falling and the warning was unjustified. In the reality of our society in America, the sky has been falling for decades. But few Americans have paid attention.
Well… an acorn didn’t fall and hit me on the head and the subject of this newsletter is certainly justified by the events transpiring. You’ve read and heard the preaching many times about Water and Food storage over the decades. Too many times. I feel like I’m no different than Chicken Little… and few pay attention.
You think…
“Yeah, yeah… I’ve heard it so many times before. The grocery stores and restaurants haven’t run out of food… and water still runs from my kitchen faucet… and rioting is not affecting our area!” …you say.
InfantryDort knows what he’s writing about from his COMBAT EXPERIENCE. Most flag wavers and communists here have no idea of the Pandora’s Box they are opening. I have lived in this type of war with the wholesale killing of white and black Rhodesians against black African Terrorists… they and their Cuban and Russian Communist advisor’s killings conducted with vengeance and relish. INNOCENT CIVILIANS KILLED by both sides because they were simply on the battlefield and could not get off it. Men, women, children, babies unavoidably killed like InfantryDort describes above. The fight I was in was to save a country’s society from insanity. Mucho combat and firefights… enough for 20 people’s lifetimes.
We won all the battles but lost the war then betrayed… and then the insanity took over. I parachuted into one country that I still have difficulty spelling the name of, at 2 AM with 40 pounds of explosives in my drop pack. I was inserted by helicopter, walked the length and breadth of much, lived amongst the common folk in most of them and fought nasty battles and firefights in all. In the worst-case scenarios, I was comforted by my assault rifle, pistol and grenades, close air support and compadres. Unlike most country’s military leadership… our Officers were first to charge into battle… if you didn’t keep up, they’d leave you behind, then kick your arse around later.
So, to the traumatic experiences that will numb Americans and will be too late to stop…
I’ve seen hundreds if not thousands of dead and probably more internal Human Anatomy than most medical surgeons. The blood thirsty revenge of black Rhodesian Army and Police torturing the Communists to death… for killing and torturing to death their children, siblings, parents and grandparents in their Tribal Trust Lands. God forbid you get between a Mashona or Matabele Warrior in his quest for vengeance. We soon had to be careful who we turned our prisoners over to.
Bodies callously and without name, unceremoniously pushed into mass grave. I’ve witnessed the poverty, starvation, brutality. Enough killing, dying, barbarity and depravity for another twenty people’s lifetimes. I hope that never comes here. But such is the mad course of events that America’s ‘protestors’ are leading us to.
A further warning…
The availability of just about everything will probably be on and off like a light switch as the ‘new normal.’ Investing in what you need and want now, that you can afford to buy, beats what you get from the value of most other investments on your money. These Supply Chain shortages will probably never go away until the country and world are taken back from these Deep State-Globalist-Elite-Leftist-Marxist-Internationals-One World Order-Woke & Whackos.
If the Socialists (Communists-Marxists) succeed in America, shortages will become the way of life for the most abundant country of simple and plentiful necessities and luxuries, on the face of this Earth.
Ask my wife… she saw her homeland of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), the ‘breadbasket of Africa,’ destroyed by the Communists. Massive starvation and hunger… people machine-gunned for protesting starvation, in a country that formerly fed ALL of the African Continent. You didn’t hear about that on the Main Stream News, did you? Wake up… if your only news and events source is the CNNCBSABCFOXNBCNYT et-al Mainstream News and Entertainment Media… start looking at Alternative Media.
Remember…
“The reality of a Catastrophic Event, is the shock to the mind that the effects it produces cannot be normally comprehended as possible” - Jack Lawson, Author of the Civil Defense Manual
What will happen… why it will happen…
When it gets to food, you’ll quickly get ‘woke’ (up) to the Leftist’s (Communists) tactics. Because, food is a weapon and when you’re starving, you won’t care who is feeding you and your family. You’ll fight for the devil himself to keep eating. Again, food becomes a weapon. Read my essay “Store Food NOW!” on http:/JackLawsonBooks.Substack.com to understand how this weapon is used.
The “I hate America!” Socialist stooges, enthusiastically continue, are funded by the background financial assistance and encouragement of the Deep State-Globalist-Elite-Leftist-Marxist-Internationals-One World Order-Woke & Whackos. They, along with the “Talking Heads” of the Main Stream News Media, will be persuading people to think… “Capitalism can’t provide for you, but Socialism (Communism) can!” …as their way to get total control of America. Socialism is Communism, without the gun barrel stuck up your nose.
Then, how they’ll obtain supplies will be barbaric and they’ll supply only their own believers and those who support them. You’ll have to kiss many tushes to survive if you’re not one of them… and that will probably not work. Letting them rape your Wife, girlfriend or Daughters might get you somewhere.
As Charles Dickens began the very first paragraph of his classic novel “A Tale of Two Cities,” “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness…” That, from his portrayal of the French ‘Revolution’ of 1789. I find eerie similarities, along with present day contradictions, of that to the time period that America exists in now.
We live in the Golden Age of abundance, wisdom and Individual Rights… unlike those people living during the time of that novel… with an undercurrent of rage and foolishness tugging at the steadfast frailty of the Constitutional Wisdom that grants these rights… and if those rights should fail, the abundance, wisdom and Golden Age of ours will end in a blink. Gone.
Thomas Jefferson, who lived in Paris, France for years just prior to the French Revolution, upon hearing of the French famine of 1788, was astounded that the people of the most abundant country in Europe were starving. One year later… 1789… they would revolt and create the madness of the “Reign of Terror,” killing hundreds of thousands of their own by fanatical decree of the Jacobins. The Jacobins were the original Collectivists (Communists) who, with help from outside wealthy financiers, purposely created the famine in France by manipulation of the French and European grain commodities market. All for their “Utopia.” Ha!
Cry Havoc! …and let slip the Dogs of War!
Well, in addition to the potential of Civil War in the United States… Europe is hell bent on sending troops into the Ukraine and further testing the patience of the Russians, who are getting back an area they ruled for 300 some years. What do countries like France, England and Germany do after bringing in millions of immigrants and financially devastating their economies with ‘woke’ programs? They go to war, before the population rises up with pitchforks to drive those country’s lunatic leaders out of office. War also conceals the financial devastation they’ve caused. Germany didn’t just close down their Volkswagen plant after 88 years and Mercedes didn’t just recently decide to move their Class A Sedan Production elsewhere, because business was good and sales were profitable.
My contacts tell me NATO involvement in the Ukraine is a “GIVEN.” Whether we’ll be dragged into it or whether it will go Nuclear is yet to be seen. But buckle your seatbelts. Much will happen this year, that you haven’t seen before and can’t yet imagine. Am I in “Cry Wolf” mode? If it sounds like I am… know this… I’m prepared with my own personal army and neighbors. We’ll be eating Food and drinking potable Water if Catastrophe comes. What will you be doing?
Like James Wesley Rawles, the ‘Grand Daddy’ of Preparation, the Author of the classic novel “Patriots” and the http://www.Survivalblog.com website says… “YOYO” (You’re On Your Own!)
So, start PREPARING NOW!

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I’ve watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. Those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain.”- Rutger Hauer in his “Time to die” scene from the movie “Blade Runner”
In my memories are the above in a figurative sense… the below in the literal reality of my past…
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. The moonlit landscape of Zambia I parachuted into at two o’clock in the morning with 40 pounds of explosives in my drop pack on an “external,” a raid on a Communist Terrorist camp where we were outnumbered over 100 to 1. I’ve watched a frightened, but still majestic and graceful family of giraffes gallop the African bush as I hung out the door of a helicopter flying by them at treetop level, almost close enough to touch them.
I’ve battled it out with Communist terrorists mano a mano while neck deep in crocodile infested idle waters on the banks and sandbars of the Hond’e and Limpopo Rivers in Mozambique. My Friends long gone and these moments are lost in time and fading from my memory… like tears in the rain.”
From Jack Lawson… an American in 1RLI Support Commando and attached to Rhodesian “C Squadron” SAS Africa 1976-79
My Dog Section mates parachutes on and waiting for the word to board the Dakota transport aircraft behind them for a “Callout.” A fight against Communist Terrorists.
An American Civil War will not be so neat, clean and organized as the paratroopers in this photo. The American Terrorists are in the streets now as I write this. They want to DESTROY AMERICA.
