Warning of a coming race war, talk-radio host Michael Savage, appearing as a guest on Alex Jones "Infowars" program Monday, said President Obama would deputize and arm gang members such as the "Crips and the Bloods" to keep order in American streets.

"Remember my last book, 'Stop the Coming Civil War'? Guess what. It started," said Savage.

"Has there been a civil war? Yeah, it's a slow-burning civil war. What do you think we are looking at here? It's a race war. These are their shock troops, they don't have the brown shirts yet, they don't have the armbands, but soon Obama could deputize them. Isn't that a natural army for him, Alex? Take the Crips and the Bloods, give them a green uniform and give them a weapon and they'll keep order in the streets. Won't they?"

Savage's vision is not unlike that sparked by critics of then-candidate Obama's plan, announced at a 2008 appearance in Colorado Springs, to create a "civilian national security force."

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we set," Obama said at the time. "We've got have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

In his trademark in-your-face style, bestselling author and top conservative talk-show host Michael Savage has a lot to say about the state of the country in "Stop the Coming Civil War."

It was WND Editor Joseph Farah who raised the obvious questions about Obama's plans for a civilian army after the speech.

"For several days now, WND has been hounding Barack Obama's campaign about a statement he made July 2 in Colorado Springs – a statement that blew my mind, one that has had me scratching my head ever since," he wrote at the time.

"In talking about his plans to double the size of the Peace Corps and nearly quadruple the size of AmeriCorps and the size of the nation's military services, he made this rather shocking (and chilling) pledge: 'We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.'"

"Now, since I've never heard anyone inside or out of government use the phrase 'civilian national security force' before, I was more than a little curious about what he has in mind," he wrote. "What does it mean?"

Farah pointed out that a "massive but secret national police force that will be even bigger than the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force put together" would be startling.

"The U.S. Army alone has nearly 500,000 troops. That doesn't count reserves or National Guard. In 2007, the U.S. Defense budget was $439 billion. Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic security force bigger and more expensive than that?" he wrote.

Savage told Jones that Obama has "the gangs on the streets on his side, he's got them awakened, he's got them armed – they're armed to the teeth with illegal weapons.

"You're going to see more race war right up until the Labor Day of 2016 for an obvious reason," he said, referring to the presidential election.

Agreeing with Jones that Obama's agenda is succeeding, Savage warned: "The guillotines are ready, the guillotines are ready and they are greasing the blades. How much more successful can they be? Internment camps? I mean, what is next with this group of maniacs?"

Savage said Americans can't count on the military to protect them from Obama because his administration has purged military leaders who were competent to do so.

"One general after the other was purged like Stalin purged them, only instead of shooting them first they smeared the generals," he said.

"I don't think it's going to come down to the camps, the internment and the martial law ... I think it would upset the economy and the world."

He claimed that Obama won't declare martial law or force people into internment camps just yet because "they're going to take the street garbage and they're going to take the illegal immigrants and they're going to warp the entire election."

"He's the smoothest conman America's ever seen in the White House. ... He's performing along the lines of any other petty dictator," Savage said. "He is Al Sharpton with a smoother act."
