My first concern was whether it's some kind of operative, a guy who goes 'oh please don't throw me into that briar patch, and here is why we must all expect civil war immediately'. If it ain't, it looks like this is a guy who can be used for that purpose. I guess it all depends on how wedded he is to his 'terrifying predictions'? I too am interested to know what his theory makes of the period after the Great Depression. I'm wary, put it that way. So often, this message is not an alarm bell, but a payload. You're meant to take on board his assumptions, but they can be suspect. He might be sincere.
