I am talking with a bunch of sources about the riots in our city streets, the insurrection that is taking place, and how widespread the violence could get in the leadup and aftermath of the coming election. My first interview this week is with Michael Yon. Michael came to Portland in September with the plan to stay here through Election Day and its aftermath. Michael lives in Thailand, and had hoped to go to Taiwan to cover the unrest there as China becomes ever more aggressive. But when he saw what was going on with antifa in Portland and other West Coast cities, he decided he’d seen this story before. A native Floridian and former Green Beret, he has been to 75 countries around the world to document popular uprisings, insurgencies, and civil wars. What he sees happening in America has him deeply troubled. He talked to me about the chances of all out civil war, balkanization of the United States, and how difficult it will be to hold it all together as we approach the most tumultuous election in US history. His time in Portland also reveals that cops are considering walking off the job en masse because of the 4 months of nightly riots and the complete lack of support from political leaders in the city and the state of Oregon. This is Part One of our interview, with Part Two to follow in Episode 28. Michael Yon has done extensive writing for many years on armed conflicts around the world, and published several books. You can follow his work at www.Patreon.com/MichaelYon, on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MichaelYonFanPage, or on Twitter at www.twitter.com/Michael_Yon. My second interview this week is with a cop who’s taken an assumed name so that he can speak out about what he sees on a nightly basis in America’s cities. Brady White wrote a column published at PJ Media by my buddy VodkaPundit, Stephen Green. The column is linked in the show notes – it’s a must read. Brady agreed to come on the Behind the Curtain podcast, and tells us why police morale is completely in the toilet, and many cops are considering early retirement or taking jobs in more rural departments, abandoning the streets of America’s cities to more chaos. You can follow Brady on Twitter at @IAmBradyWhite.
