Confrontation: From Here to Somewhere Other Than!

Much is said about the divisiveness that exists in the current era, the climate of ever mounting conflict appearing as an endless flow, sans the ebb, of molten lava laying waste to anything along the path it chooses. Frankly I can’t think of a time when there wasn’t a narrative suggesting or threatening, by someone, that it was highly appropriate that the (then) president should be lashed to and then burned at the stake. And yet, as I consider the matter a bit further, I’ve come to the conclusion that Humans require various attributes of tension to progress, without it how else is forward motion to occur.

Wu-V19; our Latest Nuclear Moment?

Somewhere along the way I picked up an interesting concept creating the distinction of three domains of knowledge; I’ve always been fascinated by the observation and I find it useful particularly with the idea of fully rounding-out the subject of this essay, they are:

  1. That which you know and you know that you know it (I know what a golf ball is and I know that I know it).
  2. That which you know that you don’t known and you know that you don’t know it (I know that I’m not a Dentist and I know that you shouldn’t rely on me to repair your teeth.) And finally,

Enabling Wartime Chaos; Russia’s Pairing with China

I’ve written extensively on the subject of asymmetrical warfare and its applications over time and though significant, historically speaking, the tactical use of this amorphous protocol is now deployed at saturated levels largely, I believe, because full-frontal warfare is oddly enough far too expensive and not just in monetary terms. I define this observation, i.e., “not just in monetary terms”, as a “Nuclear Moment” which I will discuss in greater detail in an upcoming article.

Asymmetrical warfare is intended to create a multi-faceted effect by leveraging stealthy (ideally) penetrations at points of exposure along/about your adversaries’ perimeters, in spherical terms. I can think of no better explanation of this statement than the following excerpt from “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu:

A Crisis Rules the Cure (or A Shot Across The Bow)

High on our list of priorities should be to insure that we never allow a Government Response to include containment of the cause. For this reason I believe the accompany story on Dr. Li Wenliang, “Coronavirus Kills Chinese Whistleblower Doctor”  should be part of the historical narrative – these links are dropping like dead flies – and serve as a continuing reminder of just how invasive global governance has become and how easily PSYOPS are used to distract, redirect and reconfigure a public response and, I must add, that how you interpret this article will serve to illustrate your own understanding/awareness of its pervasiveness.

CNN’s Peter Alexander: The Ass End of Hyperbole!

I listen to news programs (more and more infrequently) because I want factual, current, relevant and developing news. I’m now interested in hyperbole, farming for 10 second soundbites or the staging of political gotchas edited down for maximum advantage. Watching the White House briefings is, without a doubt, a national embarrassment as media hacks play the game out in the open, the White House media machine has come to expect it and, in the Presidents case, the only choice he has is a direct frontal assault and for one simple reason: He has no control or influence over the delivery-editing process so the only chance he has to affect the record is thru blunt-force-trauma.
