About this listen

"Civilized Civil War" is a chilling exploration of the vulnerabilities lurking within modern Western democracies. Drawing on his extensive background in military intelligence and national security, Aaron Hirschi presents a meticulously crafted scenario of how a foreign power – implicitly China – could orchestrate internal conflict in a developed nation without firing a single shot.

This groundbreaking analysis delves deep into the strategies and tactics of both the foreign-backed elites (FBE) seeking to subvert democracy and the national resistance forces (NRF) fighting to preserve it. Hirschi's unique insight brings to life the shadowy world of 5th Gradient Warfare, where battles are fought through information manipulation, economic sabotage, and social engineering rather than traditional military confrontation.

But "Civilized Civil War" is more than just a hypothetical war game. It serves as a stark wake-up call, highlighting real-world vulnerabilities in our energy policies, education systems, and media landscapes that could be exploited by adversaries. Hirschi challenges listeners to reconsider long-held assumptions about governance, international cooperation, and the very nature of modern conflict.

As tensions between China and the West continue to escalate, this book provides crucial insight into the potential battlegrounds of the future. It is essential listening for policymakers, military strategists, and concerned citizens alike – anyone who seeks to understand and defend against the invisible threats to our democratic way of life.
