Desert Storm – The Pivot Point For Unrestricted Warfare

Who remembers Desert Storm? I wasn’t paying much attention until Bush 41 left Saddam Hussein in place. I also didn’t approve of Clinton’s ongoing No-Fly Zone strategy. What for? Take out Saddam.

2) Not paying very much attention, and not even realizing how hawkish a person I had already become - remember, I hadn't left my pacifism stage consciously yet! - one thing I couldn't possibly have done was think about it geopolitically.

3) Our two brilliant authors, leading a completely different kind of life of course, spent most of the remainder of the 1990s doing just that. They analyzed - and report their findings in the book - Desert Storm from a very profound perspective.

4) I'll pick up on that again in a little bit. We first have to discuss YOUR perspective when reading. If you approach this book, where will your mindset be as you read it? Will it just be your own, as you would normally read anything? If so, you won't like this book much.

5) Let's work on the perspective shift you need to make to get the most out of this critical work. The first step is to imagine someone being a true Chinese patriot. Funny enough - and this is very hard me to do, I promise - you have to imagine them just like we are, as patriots.

6) An easy step is to try to separate leadership of the Communist Party from the rest of the people. That helps, since I detest so many of our leaders, so I can start to get there. New problem. Our authors ARE very high up in the Party Leadership structure. Whew...

7) What I have to do is find someone in our US Leadership structure with whom I do NOT agree, but whose patriotism I respect. Tough but very worthwhile thing to do. First soul that comes to mind for me is Evan Bayh, of Indiana.

8) I can imagine many of the brass in our military who are politically left leaning but not only not corrupt but also true patriots. I don't have a specific example, but don't need one. I can just imagine. Now enter our two brilliant authors again.

9) To me, they are amazing men. High up in the Chinese Army, and of course consulted in Beijing regularly, powerful men with powerful access, and very good men. Their book is an act of patriotism...and more. Aha! I have my man. Check this picture out!

10) Actually, we need two. The guy in the middle is General Sherman, of Sherman's March Of Destruction that ended the Civil War, and to his right is someone I never heard of before: John Alexander Logan. I picked him since he's to Sherman's right, his right-hand man.

11) Next thing I do is picture those two men tearing through their copies of Unrestricted Warfare and violently shaking their heads up and down. Yes! That's right. These guys get it. This is how the real world works. On and, biggest fans ever. That was fun!

12) Last step. The book is obliterated, needs to be written, and Sherman & Logan take up the challenge. We can now flip back to our authors in their real-world context and have a bit of a sense of who they really are. Now we can start to hear them speak.

13) We're almost back to Desert Storm but there's one more stopping point now that our perspective has shifted successfully. Master Sun Tzu. Not only do our authors reference him directly and deeply, they have accomplished the impossible with this book.

14) Unrestricted Warfare is the world's one and only sequel to The Art Of War. Many authors have been inspired by it, but none have given us a sequel. Not even Machiavelli, as his book stands completely on its own, and in its own stream of history. It's NOT a sequel.

15) Now back to Desert Storm. It stunned and amazed our authors, and its sent gong bell like reverberations ringing around our planet. Nothing like it had ever occurred before. The uniqueness of Desert Storm, as seen through their eyes is stunning.

16) They establish at the beginning of the book that all changes in the practice of war are driven by new weapons, and their surrounding technologies. I won't go into any detail, they do this to perfection. So, let me call the new weapon our Domination Matrix.

17) A fascinating direction they explore is how our 3 primary forces, Air Force, Army, & Navy always analyzed everything completely differently, and hold completely different strategy doctrines from each other, but how they came together in Desert Storm.

18) Evidently, the entire world of geopolitical analysts and policy makers knew of our fault lines and always factored them into their thinking. What shocked our authors, and according to them the entire world so, was the fact that these fault could be bridged. Amazing!

19) Integrated, maybe even close to flawlessly integrated is a better term than bridged. The explosive force projection resulting from this geometrically transformed unity was a life changing analysis for our authors. It led directly to this book's existence.

20) Historical context is needed. We pulled off something a bit like this Domination Matrix, bit by hellaciously painful bit in WWII. Following that, we basically showed the world we could not win wars anymore. Vietnam showed we could be trounced.

21) We should look at the Korean War, as China I, or to the North; and Vietnam as China II, or to the South. China remained safely between these two wars until we were ready to make friends with Nixon and Kissinger leading the transformation.

22) Nixon = > Ford => Carter, and China had a literal seat at the table in the Oval Office of the White House. Reagan was an anomaly on this journey. But then came Bush 41 and the blessing of Tiananmen Square. China KNEW for certain we would not fight anymore. Until...

23) Until Desert Storm. Now, America reclaimed its invincible stance, and just at the time that the USSR was collapsing. So, guess what China did. In part, it charged our two authors to analyze this great transformation and devise China's strategy in response.

24) We have this incredible confluence of events and developments. The events rewrote the world's trajectory assessment on all levels from military to economic and everything in between. The development of a military basis for total domination overwhelmed everything in its path.

25) They found their answer in Sun Tzu. Simply put, you win without fighting. That is the most fundamental idea in The Art Of War. Win without fighting.

We have to let that sink in.

26) There were two events that led me to this book. The first was Trump's Sun-Tzu level master in literally killing the World Trade Organization. You may not know this, but it a zombie entity now. Trump utterly defanged it. It has no actual power.

27) The second was, to my eye, the first global warfare attack by a biological weapon. I knew the moment COVID struck that it was a global attack by manufactured pandemic. I never doubted that for a moment then and never have since. Biological war had commenced.

28) I metaphorically heard China say, alright, I'll see your economic attack and raise you by a pandemic. It was more brilliant yet. The pandemic was vectored straight at America. They had analyzed all of our fault lines as a people and zeroed in on our structural weaknesses.

29) This form of analysis is of course not new for China. Chairman Mao was an incredible writer, and was employing precisely this form of analysis throughout his entire, storied career. It goes back, I know you know, to Sun Tzu. But there was never Qiao & Wang before.

30) It is impossible for me to adequately convey the degree of advantage this now gives China. Don't hear me as a doomsayer, I am not. But as an analyst it is often my job to first deliver the bad news and only then discover the hidden path to victory within.

31) There's something positively chivalrous about this book. It was published. Why? Why do that? It was immediately embraced by our own military here in America and is taught. Why would China give us its greatest strategic asset, freely?

32) Part of it is the cat and mouse joy of knowing they could give it to us and we'd do nothing serious with it. It would be taught as mere intellectual exercise and would never make it into the halls of power, strategy, policy and real-world maneuver.

33) It is a poorly kept secret that for the past century or so we have suffered under what is called the Democracy Disadvantage. They view democracies as slow, stodgy, cumbersome, unwieldy, so often just fecklessly weak in spite of vast advantages held otherwise.

34) By the time this book was written, it was already obvious that America - read that Clinton and also the entire power establishment - bought into the worst concept ever, the Peace Dividend. We started cannibalizing the very power that created and protected peace.

35) The sheer idiocy and hubris of the Peace Dividend gave China a 30-year shield of safety in which to completely reposition itself on the global stage. And our corrupt leaders deposited the vast wealth necessary to pay for all this transformation. They took the money from us.

36) By "they," I mean our American leaders. By "us," I mean you and me and all the forgotten Americans who comprised the historic might of our sleeping giant. They took the money from us, shared it and its profits with China, and paid for its new capabilities. Can you say blithe?

37) Trump was obviously the snake in China's American-paid-for garden. He had to be dealt with, and he basically was. First the China Virus softened us up and threw tremendous opportunities to the Democrats thereby. And weakened American identity and freedom.

38) But that was not enough. Trump still mounted up a massive, landslide victory which had to be stolen. The technology of voter fraud is at least equal if not superior to the biological warfare vectoring of the pandemic. There's one more element to unearth.

39) This one brings us straight to you, dear reader. While our media, legislature, DC Swamp Inc., et al and most of all our courts have been corrupt forever, that network of corruption had never been coordinated and organized tactically, with unified leadership and execution.

40) America was ready, softened up to the point of perfection, to take a knockout blow to democracy itself. America was ready to be silenced. No more voice in its own government and the complete destruction of all governing integrity.

41) Our government is now a zombie form, spiritless and driven by nothing other than a limitless need to consume and destroy. Perhaps I exaggerate. I hope so. I fear not. What I know is this. Qiao and Wang defeated us. The first chapter of America's history has closed.

42) By the "us" in the statement they defeated us, I mean our government's integrity, our constitutional republic as such. That's a lot. But they made what I hope to be a fatal error for their purposes. They did not kill us, as in us, you and me and the MAGA Movement. We live.

43) The gift in all this is that we may now remove from our government the projected identity we have granted it. It was never America. We are. You can destroy the institutions of our republic, you cannot remove the republic of America from our hearts, minds, and souls.

44) Where is the Constitution today? No longer in political or legal force. But so what? It still exists within us, written upon our very beings. If you’ve been following, I think you know where I’m going tactically.

45) I'll just mention Bowker's The Office of The Sheriff - a History, and Sheriff Mack's wonderful outfit where I want you to join the posse, the:

CSPOA.org

46) I knew that Qiao and Wang are not for everyone. It makes me sad, but I know it's true. Yet I know that they are for some. If you're one of those, I am telling you. Read this book right and it will change you forever. Your view will be transformed.

47) That's why I have named you "the county soul." Return now to perspective. When you dedicate yourself to all 12 books on the list and learn to read them with YOUR OWN county in mind, that is a different form of reading.

48) The more I share about this list, the clearer its inner structure and flow become to me. Its momentum pushes forward, growing from one to the next through book 8, The Prince. If you've been able to take those in, you will be ready for Unrestricted Warfare. I promise.

49) Let's call that the "Orthodox" path. I love that. Ah, but there is what we can all a "Rough & Ready" path which I love dearly too. Just start anywhere, read as much or little in that book as you wish, bop over to another one and just let your spirit lead.

50) If not way too much, that's certainly enough for one day's work, right class? There is no assignment and will be no quizzes. Do please continue to show up, but more important, make decisions for yourself. Follow your spirit's guidance. We need you.
