John Minford, #SunTzu 6: 33 "Probe him, know his strengths and weaknesses."

More than most, today's verse follows from yesterday's. "Make his form visible. Discover his grounds of death and life." Probe him, know his strengths and weaknesses. The two are almost the same. Not exactly. Instructively different nuances. Yet almost the same.

Life is built upon strength. Death arises from weakness. Even natural death shows the weakness of our body systems in the face of time. Time is strong. We are weak. Time will never die. In the face of it, we all do. It is great. We are, compared, less so.

It is a modern liberal trope that mankind is the greatest pathogen in history, we destroy other species, we are told. And to be sure we do. But what is missed is the millions upon uncounted millions of species that died before man came around with his deadly CO2.

Species are like persons. They are born (speciation occurs), live, thrive, decline, die. Allow a scientific confession. I believe in evolution. For those of you who do not, I apologize. My reading of Master Sun's counsel cannot help but incorporate such beliefs.

Please hear that I respect, and GREATLY, creationism, even the complete rejection of evolutionism. But I must read with my own mind, as you must read with yours. I welcome your contradiction of my interpretations. Be bold. You will find an open ear and warm heart in me.

I see evolution as a perfect example of Master Sun's counsel, embodied in forces larger than human comprehension or combat. I see all of our conflicts as subsets of natural competition and the survival of the fittest. For me, there is no conflict between Darwin and Master Sun.

When early man was, unwittingly, wiping out all Mastodons, he was merely following the natural order of Master Sun's counsel. Probe him, your local mastodon, and know his strengths and weaknesses, his grounds of death and life. Man had this ability.

Like any warmhearted, former liberal, I am able to grieve the loss of species, of the Mastodons we wiped out with our knowledge of their weaknesses and strengths, their death and life grounds. But, unlike my former fellows, I celebrate man's ability to hunt, to kill, to live.

The modern Democrat is a mastodon. What is wrongly called Liberal Progressivism - it is neither liberal nor progressive - must die. Yes, as there was a place for each, Jefferson and Hamilton, there is a place for each party. Yet, the socialist Democrats of today will go extinct.

The single most fundamental element of their DNA is the false concept of a "living Constitution," which merely means whatever they wish it to mean. Following rapidly after is the evil idea of America Last, the Globe First. There is a purpose for a nation. We demonstrate that.

Please understand, I don't envision or wish the death of the Democrat Party. Rather, we must attack the weaknesses of its current masters who betray the will of their constituents. Democrats are not anti-America. Democrat leaders are. Current leadership must go extinct. It will.

Yet there is another Mastodon which must be slain, its species made extinct. Socialism itself. What are the spears, bows, organization, and strategy that we small hunter bands of little humans must employ? Rights, the American Rights from our Declaration and Constitution.

@POTUS tells us, America will never be a socialist nation. I believe him. Yet, we must face the socialism we have allowed to poison our form of government, our moral ethos, and the education system built upon socialist principles we have allowed to toxically poison us.

Master Sun indicates yet another fight, a spiritual and yes philosophical one. The current Democrat lie is this. You CAN have benefits and advantages at the expense of others, with no obligations or responsibilities to bother with. The lie propagates. We turn to economics.

We see China's successes, and imagine them to be Communism, properly salted with State Capitalism, and leading to success on the global stage. Nay, nay, it is NOT so! Rather, it is their theft and our complicit capitulation that empowers their wealth.

Economically, the tariff system is just a bit too complicated for most of us to understand. Economics, history, and globalist philosophies are not easy to follow. Fear not, @POTUS understands it all perfectly. We can too, but we will have to raise our study game to do so.

Believe it or not, Master Sun ends up - after all our broken-brain studies - simplifying all this for us. We must probe him, and know his weaknesses and strengths, his death and life grounds. Every other socialist/communist regime has failed. China's will as well.

What a story. I have been stunned and amazed to discover - so recently - the billions of dollars we invested into Chiang Kai Shek, only to lose after 25 years!, to Mao Tse Tung. How could we be so stupid? We did not probe Mao, nor know his grounds of death and life, that's how.

And that is PRECISELY how, until @realDonaldTrump's revolution, we who love America First have lost for so many decades to those who wish nothing other than America Last. We have not probed him. We have not understood his death and life grounds. Isn't it time we do so?

Let's talk about "we," the #MAGA movement. We must reach up from below. @POTUS rightly leads us from above. He rallies us as no other leader since Ronald Reagan, and arguably even more powerfully. He takes his incoming hits. He has revolutionized communication via social media.

Yet with humility, I hope you'll agree, we, his followers, have NOT lived up to his gifts, his needs. We certainly did NOT show up for him in 2018 and lost the House. Imagine how far he'd have led us by now if we'd strengthened him there, instead of weakened him as we did.

We must do more than own our failure. We must analyze it. Obviously, we failed to show up. We failed to care enough to organize victory. Shame on us for that. At a deeper level we failed to hear Master Sun's commands and obey. We did NOT probe the enemy or make visible his forms.

It must be restated. The enemy is not merely the Democrats who won the House. Far worse, it is the 40 Republicans who gave up the fight in advance, surrendering their seats. Yes, the fact is known. No, the analysis is far from complete. Who were these traitors, and who led them?

I have not heard their story told, the story of their betrayal and their infamy. Have you? We all know it happened. But the story has not been told to my knowledge. To my eye, the weaknesses and strengths of our internal enemy on the Republican side remains mostly invisible.

Should we fail to follow Master Sun's command to probe him, and know his grounds of death and life, we will surely fail again in 2020. @POTUS won't. @parscale won't. But they can't do this alone, without our participation, and at the level of Master Sun's instruction.

We must be ready, ourselves, each of us, teams of us, all of us, to slay the Mastodon of socialism and wipe it out from our nation. We must be ready to expose and out all traitors from our ranks within the #MAGA movement, those dedicated to the swamp.

That is why I have dedicated myself to the #SunTzuForMAGA mission. We truly are fighting the #WarForAmerica2020, and for far, far beyond. This is no time for mealy mouthed platitudes. We have a species to kill. Let us do so. We have party to cleanse. Let us do so.

The definition of short-term victory? Supermajorities, 60% and higher in House and Senate and a mandate-proving victory not only in the Electoral College, but even in the popular vote. If we organize, following Master Sun's guidance, we can accomplish that...and more.
