  • Ep 071 "The Devil's Thermostat: Turning Up the Heat on American Civil War"
    This episode examines civil war manifesting itself in the US and the world over the next few years and makes a forecast on how close we are on the doomsday clock of civil war on American soil.The probability and possibility of civil kinetic conflict in the US is closer than in decades..My Storming America Series covers the gamut of what a spontaneous attack in the US will look like when terror cells launch a simultaneous attack on the US homeland which in my mind is the primary man-made vector for civil war in America.I cover it in Episodes 37, 41-43, 49-50 and 62 of my Chasing Ghosts podcast.References:Video:NCTC Islamist Attacks on US Forecast 2025Winston Marshall The UNTOLD History of The White Slave Trade & How Islam Conquered 3/4 of The Christian WorldAndrew Gold CIVIL WAR is Coming - Professor David BetzBooks:Stephen Biddle Nonstate Warfare: The Military Methods of Guerillas, Warlords, and MilitiasBarbara Walter How Civil Wars Start: And How to Stop ThemDavid Armitage Civil Wars: A History in IdeasWilliam Forstchen Day of WrathKurt Schlichter The AttackKarl DahlFactionFaction: With the CrusadersMatt Bracken:Enemies Foreign and DomesticForeign Enemies And TraitorsDomestic Enemies: The ReconquistaThe Red Cliffs of ZerhounCastigo CayEric Frank Russell The WaspMichael Z.

About Chasing Ghosts: An Irregular Warfare Podcast

An unauthorized podcast series peeking behind the curtain at the vast machinery and briar patch politics of fighting terrorism and insurgency and everything in between. I'm a "COINtra" and not a "COINdinista", the latter are the vast army of apparatchiks and apologists who fire the engines of Irregular Warfare (IW) planet-wide. We're the skeptics and doubters of all things IW and special operations. And we are a tiny sliver of the IW community. I have noticed a jarring gap in this part of the discussion and intend on filling the breach.Substack: Chasing Ghosts: An Irregular Warfare PodcastSmedley D.
