John Minford, #SunTzu 4:12 - 15, "12 - To lift autumn fur is no strength; 13 - To see sun and moon is no perception; 14 - To hear thunder is no quickness of hearing. 15 - The skillful warrior of old won easy victories."

Today's focus on #SunTzu 4:13
I am a sky watcher. I always have been. As a boy, I would go out and lay down on the grass and try to imagine how far away or close the clouds were as they rolled by. Do you watch the sky? Sunrises and sunsets. The moon in its waxing and waning?
I've mentioned that I've been reading Chairman Mao in his work on Sun Tzu. I can assure you, he would complain of many of his commanders that they were NOT capable of perceiving either sun or moon. They were hotheads, he tells us, unwilling to change a plan.
For these hotheads, once the plan was determined in advance, no change in situation or conditions mattered. They couldn't be bothered to look at a shadow to realize an enemy with a gun stood there pointing it. Plunging forward per plan, they'd march into death unwitting.
I can picture the Chinese version of Saint Peter at the gate looking up at such a blind hothead and laughing, "I'd let you in if I could, be we can't reward that kind of stupidity even here. Sorry, Bud, you're headed the other direction."
I don't have to tell any stories or give any examples to prove the case for us in America. If you know anything about it at all, all I have to say is the one word Vietnam and you already know. By the Chairman Mao learned to simply relieve such hotheads of duty upon discovery.
In corporate America the term for these blind souls who can't perceive either sun or moon in the sky, is damned suits. Their favorite word is "policy." Reading Mao, and hearing the term "hotheads" for them surprised me. But he's exactly right. They hotheadly storm through, blind.
Think about how equal the two are. In the Red Army, once a plan was set, the hotheads wouldn't change course, even when commanded to do so. In corporate America, executives refuse to listen to subordinates, or in retail stores, managers won't listen to customers. They're blind.
Today's date is 24 March 2019, and the Mueller Report with no indictments for any Trump crimes at all has been, finally, released. It's as plain as the sun or moon, but will the Democrats and MSM see? They're absolutely hotheads operating per plan, not reality.
Where is the clear evidence of collusion that Adam Schiff has been spouting off about for two years now? Nowhere is the answer. It' sunup, yet he tells us it’s night. How about, going back a few years, you can keep your doctor if you want to? The plan demanded Obama promise that.
How about HRC and her campaign. The sun set over it, by my own call, on 15 October 2016. Yet, she and all the other hotheads refused to believe it was night when she lost and had an insurance policy in place so no one would ever notice the twilight let alone moonrise.
If I were coaching the Democrats, I'd let them have their hope of 2020, but counsel them that the brightest sun in the sky right now is @realDonaldTrump. And look at the current spate of candidates. By Chairman Mao's definition, every one of them so far is a hothead.
The #MAGA movement is a new constellation in the heavens. It will never disappear. The ground conditions have shifted. I would urge them to take their hotheaded blinders off and start building plans for 2024, so they might be able to speak to us then, seeing the sun and moon.
But we can be confident that these hotheads will not do so. They are blind. Consider the House investigations, and the pivot from Russia to...EVERYTHING else possible! Hotheads. Knowing what they will do, we can easily defeat them if we are able to see sun and moon.
Consider now your local hotheads. Have you ever been to a school board meeting? Or a town hall where the topic might have been whether or not to add a stop light or a speed camera? Can you hear the hotheads blathering? Oh they go off, and it seems they always win.
It's our fault. We let them win. We have no chops, no ground game. We see the sun and moon, yet never seem to realize that this ability gives us the decided advantage, since we don't engage in tactics, and spend no time in the temple, planning. We have no structure to our force.
It's painful to me, reading about the billions of dollars we - America - spent supporting the Generalissimo's army, and giving right, but weak counsel that his own hotheads blew off. We seem never to use our power intelligently. We allow the hotheads their heat and back off.
So, I'm asking, can you go outside and perceive the difference between sun and moon? If so, look around. You will find hotheads everywhere who are easy to defeat. You do need a team of like-minded patriots to join you and help you and follow your lead.
If you do that, then we'll only need 99,999 more like you to blanket America in every district with an unstoppable force of sun and moon perceiving leaders and their followers to fight for good, to very literally Make America Great Again, from the bottom up.
