Clever tacticians know it: Strike the enemy at his weakest point. Believe it or not, that – not tanks, aerial warfare, or poison gas – was the biggest innovation that came out of World War I. Before that, nation armies would hurl themselves at one another’s strength, each hoping to destroy the another and win the war with a single overwhelming victory. But what if the enemy has no weak points? What then?
Then you create one.
I’d like my Gentle Readers to think about that for a moment. There are hidden subtleties in the notion. For one thing, it involves deception: the use of your forces and communication capabilities to lure your enemy into unbalancing his men, materiel, and maneuvers. For another, it can require that you accept a (hopefully) temporary imbalance among your forces, praying all the while that your enemy won’t notice it. Warfare between evenly matched contestants is like that. It’s true both at the chessboard and over a map of the world.
Weak points come in many varieties. Some arise from nature itself. For example, in Europe both the Belgian plain and the Fulda gap are notable invasion routes, sculpted that way by the forces that shaped the continent. There isn’t much one can do about them except to build fortifications…and as the French discovered in 1940, even that can’t do everything.
Another celebrated weak point is the salient: the protrusion of your lines in a fashion that creates attackable flanks. Attempts to exploit this tactical factor was a recurring feature of ground warfare on the Western Front of both World Wars. Field commanders learned to avoid creating salient the hard way. They also learned that presenting the opponent with an illusory salient – one that’s more apparent than real – can be a temptation he cannot resist.
In today’s rapid, three-dimensional warfare, the continuity and security of supply to one’s forces is a critical consideration. Historically, logistical factors have tended to favor the defender. That might not be true any longer in open warfare.
As for covert warfare, conducted against an enemy who’s unaware that he’s under attack, we might be seeing it in use today…against us.***
Freedom is under attack today. In truth, it always has been, for there are always men who desire power over others, and they never relent. Freedom elsewhere than in the United States has been extinguished. Nowhere on earth other than here is there a place where governments are under proper restraint, where private citizens can do as they like with what is rightfully theirs, and where the agents of the State are bound to respect the inherent and inalienable rights of the individual.
Here in America, freedom has been under siege for a century and more. The Constitutional constraints we were told we could trust have eroded near to the point of uselessness. Men are imprisoned and kept that way without being charged. Their property is taken from them under flimsy, objectively indefensible pretexts. Some are killed outright and without cause, as witness Roseanne Boyland and Ashli Babbitt.
Yet such open assaults on the rights of men can be pointed out, used to raise a hue and cry, and directly fought. That’s why they haven’t yet become so commonplace as to be usual. But they’re multiplying. They occur with increasing frequency, and not always by the direct action of government thugs.
Our would-be tyrants are not satisfied with the brutalities enumerated above. They want our total subjugation. They want the state of existence a great writer described thus:
“If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be under the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”
James Madison
Disagree completely. The lockdowns showed the government gives us the illusion we can do as we like. Many will jump with the fed says so and end your ability to do things like purchase food or take your kid to the playground.
Our government is not under proper restraint in the slightest, to the point that the checks and balances of our government is now a joke.
73 year old az rancher shoots spic dead illegally crossing on that american’s land. He is being charged with murder. He’s not the only one fighting back, guys. He is another POW. See my handle!
He forgot the “shovel” part of the sss rule.

This in effect is satanism or otherwise stated, hidden in plain view for this context, and for generations has been the theme of the cultural landscape, and not Americana (which is a fleeting concept of the past). The corporate Christian church system is one such example of the freemasonic-directed trajectory for those within its institutional walls. The idea of the people thinking independently outside of their dictates is something they can’t and won’t endure. One such example is when the sexual dysfunction between men and women reached a tipping point what did these same powers do? They launched a sexual revolution, leading the people to think it was agitated by natural born and made anarchists (of the non-secret society variety), but rather was launched by their trained agents, to get the desired results, to keep people manageable in giving themselves leverage. Other blaring scenarios have to do with the education system, voting, how money is generated and earned, and relationally with gender development as a focus, according to their means and ends. The point is, Americans don’t and haven’t governed themselves for many decades and thereby have entrenched their plight. Even their internal upheavals and limited revolutions are scripted to socially, economically and politically favor satanists. It astounding that the non-satanic side allowed this to proliferate, essentially choosing their leader class based on antithetical ideological frameworks and platforms with according results.
