1/ I have now watched our podcast below. If you haven't seen it yet, find the time. It's worth it. I sure wish I could learn to make my eyes look at the camera instead of the person's face on screen. Alas.
2/ As to the coming thread, though, I walk away feeling some other ground needs to be covered. Try to stick tight if you can. Look at this list:
1) Doctrine 2) Strategy 3) Tactics 4) Execution
Why does it seem the other side has all four, but we only have the last two?
3/ I want you to try to answer that question for yourself, and my spoiler alert is for the next tweet, not this one. And by all means, please comment. Let me know what your thoughts are, please.
4/ A huge part of the answer is that they have been community organizing for 100 years longer than we have. You simply CANNOT organize community level action with ALL FOUR ELEMENTS.
5/ The situation is worse, though, and by far. You're not going to like this answer, and yes, we have discussed it many times. The answer is the evil Saul Alinsky and his damnable 13 Rules For Radicals. Here's the book for free:
6/ If you're not able to read the book, and I would never blame you, then at least peruse these rules...
7/ If you're only to look at the rules, allow me to offer some guidance (although we need a corps of MAGA Leaders will read, study, and master Alinsky's work). Try not judge the rules as good, bad, moral, immoral, etc. Just take them in. I'll explain why.
8/ These rules work. They succeed. And we on the right have been decimated by a tiny handful of rule-obeying adherents on the left. If we fail to understand these rules, we will never, as in NEVER catch up to them, let alone sava America. There's more.
9/ Alinsky was an absolute, evil genius. He has hidden doctrine and strategy inside his rule structure so that his followers need not break their brains over such. All they need do is comply. Thing is, on our side, compliance alone cannot, will not, and should not be our method.
10) We need all four elements, and we need them at every level of organization. We need intelligent, self-directed patriots, not sycophantic minions. Our methods require righteousness and that gives us an incredible power.
11) I have to stop myself now, with just that much. The #J6Challenge we face simply demands we get our part right. I will keep doing my homework til I'm ready for the promised #J6Thread. Hang in there, and read Alinsky...you know...if you can...
2) I was not in DC for the 6 January 2021 Rally. I wanted to go. Fiercely. It wounded my ego to NOT go. Allow me a martial arts term: Zanshin. It comes from the Samurai and means your sense of threat or danger. For the Samurai it was almost a mystical concept.
3) In Akira Kurosawa's great film The 7 Samurai (which was the basis of the Magnificent 7), there is a scene in which a Samurai being recruited and tested, refuses to walk past an open door, which was, in fact, hiding an attacker. He was the greatest recruit. That was Zanshin.
Can you say "getting into the weeds?" I don't imagine too many will care, but for some strange reason I've decided I want to know about the Rules Package. So, here's the best version of the current package I've yet found.
2) The PDF above is the one they call "The 55 Pages."
So, knowing I do not know this language, I decide to just start reading and here's a screenshot of the first thing I find.
3) Who knew? Who had any idea? the 118th Congress begins its own rules by adopting the rules from the 117th Congress. I'd never have imagined. Okay, a bit of searching - it does NOT pop right up - and, I found this:
General Flynn's voice is heard strong and clear. He pulls incredible audiences. His analysis and writings are very powerful as well. Here's his New Year's guidance!
2) We'll walk through his counsel in detail later in this thread (which may take a few days to complete). But let's cut straight to the chase. @elonmusk, can you give General Flynn his Twitter account back, please?
3) No, @elonmusk, there is not - to my knowledge - a major Twitter story behind the unhinged attacks that our government executed against General Flynn and his family. But, the simple fact of his purging from Twitter is, in its own right, an important story.
Analysis 4 - 31 December 2022 - Hammer & Scorecard
Do you follow @maryclairerose? If not, please do so right now! She will be our guide in today's work. She's one of our very best analyst/writers, period.
2) We'll dive into @maryclairerose's work in a moment. First, I have a bit of backstory to share. I met Marcy Claire in 2016. I'll never forget the call I got, shortly after we met, where Mary Claire explained the illegality of Obama's money drop to Iran. Who remembers that?
3) Mary Claire always combines brilliance with patriotic passion. Throw in far more than anyone's fair share of writing talent and you start to get the picture. As I recall it, none of her editors were willing to run with her scoop.
3) I won't, but I'm tempted to share the remarkable Civil War anthem, The Battle Hymn Of The Republic. Here's why I'm tempted. As a picture is worth 1,000 words, a song or a poem is worth 1,000 stories in prose. Our movement to #FreeJ6ersNow needs and deserves songs.
I think everyone has the feeling, if not a technical definition of "psyop" by now, so we'll go fast. First it is a form of warfare. It's just not kinetic, it's not physical.
2) Psychological warriors step into the mental space of their targets due to a very specific aspect of pack creature minds. Trust. Pack creatures trust members of their pack. They distrust non-members.
3) Psychological War has always existed. If it takes 10,000 soldiers to invade a walled city, and you bring 100,000, the extra 90,000 are for the psyop aspect of the invasion. Victory or defeat, conquest or surrender are psychological conditions far more than physical.
