The Fox vs The Hedgehog, The US vs China

Who remembers Peter Sellers in the 1966 film, After The Fox? Not many I’ll bet, but it’s simply the perfect intro to today’s topic, as set up by a fantastic analysis we’ll turn to right now.

2) In the film, Peter Sellers portrays a brilliant, if hilarious thief called The Fox, as he is a master of disguise and trickery. Last month, the always profound historian Niall Ferguson deems the US to be a Fox in foreign policy.

3) If you decide to read Ferguson's analysis, you have to be ready to push yourself to read both between and underneath the lines. I believe he's a true conservative living behind enemy lines where he has to pretend RINO bonafides. I know, complicated set of ideas there...

4) In espionage, a spy working behind enemy lines must have something called a "legend." My favorite part of any spy movie is always when they're working on this fake history, implanting it into the spy's mind, heart, soul, and body prior to the mission.

5) Then, the frequent plot of how the spy, after coming in from the cold, has a type of almost unbreakable confusion between reality and legend. Another way to look at that is through what's called "method acting." A spy living his legend must be the ultimate method actor.

6) All of which is to say I love Ferguson. I've followed him reading his books and in his TV analysis and he's one of my absolute favorites. I always have to go through the same process though, of decoding his so-measured terms. I always come to the same conclusion. He's a spy.

7) My first reading of his Bloomberg piece got me again. I was so pissed off about all this respect for the "Biden Administration." I was ready to throw the article away. Then I remembered that he's a spy and sure enough, read correctly, this is a vicious attack against Biden.

8) The cloaking mechanism is the cherry-picked quotes attacking Trump's China policies. Ferguson is falsely attacking Trump, here. Now, he may actually judge Trump as he presents, but it is utterly unimportant even if he does. It's a throwaway and a set up.

9) He's painting Biden as even more hawkish against China than Trump, and he's selectively creating an image of Trump as solely focused on his deal with China. Ferguson offers not one iota of Trump's actual power in this image.

10) I can't believe Ferguson fails to realize that the tariff question is the basis of economic war, or that Trump won that war against China. He's too brilliant an economist and too savvy a historian. But to talk about that would be to break legend.

11) In case you don't read the article, a hedgehog has but a single focus, where a fox has many. American foreign policy relative to China is always run, he tells us, on a complicated and often contradictory set of broad objectives. China has but one focus. It's a hedgehog.

12) Painting Biden as more hawkish than Trump, Ferguson forces him into a corner. And then, the most damning message - one completely between the lines - is that of Biden's complete and utter weakness. Without saying a word about it, he points to Biden's corruption.

13) We know, and Ferguson knows that we know, that China owns Biden. Winding his way through the history of it - in a very truncated version of that history - we find Biden, today, completely incapable of protecting Taiwan. Oh, what's China's one focus?

14) Softly, we are informed that China's one focus is something called the One China policy. China's crushing power swallows any independent states on its periphery that fall into its vision of completing its full empire. Taiwan is the most important remaining target.

15) Sadly cutting to the chase - layer after layer, the article is worth equally many layers of readings - we'll leave Ferguson's work for now with just these two things. If you read him, read him twice please. And here's his closing point...

16) "The fox has had a good run. But the danger of foxy foreign policy is that you care about so many issues you risk losing focus. The hedgehog, by contrast, knows one big thing. That big thing may be that he who rules Taiwan rules the world."

17) Here the spy emplaces his hidden weapon. He is warning us. China, owning Biden, will likely reclaim Taiwan during this sadministration's stolen term. Earlier, Ferguson simply states that Hong Kong is gone, it's rebellion utterly crushed. Taiwan is next.

18) How does this matter to us local patriots, struggling to find our footing during this post-election steal era, in this post-Constitutional America? If our efforts are to be targeted locally, what does China's hedgehog have to do with us?

19) Look we me now at our beloved, sacred 2nd Amendment:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

20) Elections have consequences. What about election thefts? What about a fraudulent sadministration with a usurping resident in the Oval Office? What are the consequences of that? And how do those consequences reach all the way down to local patriots?

21) With calm clarity and ultimate urgency both at the same time, we must imagine that Ferguson is right, but that he has downplayed the threat in his behind-the-lines manner. If his analysis is right - it is - then truth be known China could swallow Taiwan at a moment's notice.

22) Do the scenario steps with me. Trump leads us to both defeat the voter fraud structures and reclaim the House in 2022. He furiously and with righteous wrath primaries OUT RINO Senators and establishes a MAGA hold over the Senate. He prepares then for 2024.

23) If those things occur, China will be on notice. It's 100-year plan will be in tatters. If Trump regains the White House by lawful election in 2024, China's ultimate existential threat will have come present, and NOT imminent any longer. What would a hedgehog do?

24) How has Switzerland survived without ever being invaded, let alone conquered? It is safeguarded by a well-regulated militia. Military grade weapons are in every home. Local training is ongoing. Preparation is never foregone. A local militia is its geopolitical answer.

25) We turn to our own history on point. From the wiki article on the National Guard:

"In 1903, with passage of the Dick Act, the predecessor to the modern-day National Guard was formed. It required the states to divide their militias into two sections.

26) "The law recommended the title "National Guard" for the first section, known as the organized militia, and "Reserve Militia" for all others.

27) "During World War I, Congress passed the National Defense Act of 1916, which required the use of the term "National Guard" for the state militias and further regulated them."

28) There are scores of amazing Military Sci-Fi works that lay out countless methods China might use in its attempt to conquer the United States by kinetic war. I am not in their league as an analyst. I can promise that local militias in 3,083 counties would intimidate China.

29) Imagining a kinetic invasion, who might be the natural leader of the local patriot militia in each county? Say it with me. The sheriff would. Facing such an invasion, the 1st step any county must take is to empower its sheriff in exactly that manner.

30) A significant part of mental toughness is the ability to envision the worst possible scenario and prepare for it. This is yet another reason why all local patriots must step forward and begin their friendships with their county sheriffs...when...?

Now. Right now.

Thread ends at #30.

How do we move our counties to empower our sheriffs over well-regulated militias? Come discuss this and all other local patriots questions with us at Telegram.
