This market resolves based on whether by July 14, 2024 at least 2 major US news media outlets (see list below) publish articles reporting on Rudyard Lynch's ('Whatifathis') prediction of the US collapsing into a new civil war in 2024.
Resolution will be based on whether any of these media outlets publish articles in their online editions.
Threshold for 'YES' resolution is the publication of articles that feature Rudyard and his prediction as the primary story being reported in the article. In other words, if there are only articles that mention Rudyard or Whatifalthist as an example, but are not primarily about Rudyard , then that will resolve to 'NO'.

RUDYARD: "I believe America... and I've made like six videos on this... I think America will have a civil war or a revolution in the next year... I said actually that I think it'll happen by the 2024 election and I say these things so that you know I'm not a charlatan...and if I'm wrong I'm wrong."

RUDYARD: "I don't think American society can make it through the 2024 election without collapsing into Civil War. We might not even have that much time if I'm being honest."
