On War ~ Part 3 Strategy and Structural Integrity





This post is about the issue of getting and using the right 'tools', personnel, ideas, and resources to do the job of making change.


Thus far history has shown us that no such efforts have been made. The issue is now little more than yet another international talking shop for a new breed of professional bureaucrats and other verbose global DO NOTHINGS.


Please read the following...taken from the tome...

Sanshiliuji 三十六計 "The Thirty-Six Stratagems"


8.思賢上醫醫國,其次醫疾。夫人治國,固治身之象。疾者身之病, 亂者國之病也。身之病待醫而愈,國之亂待賢而治。治身有黃帝之術,治世有孔子之經。 然病不愈而亂不治者,非針石之法誤而五經之言誣也,乃用之者非其人。 苟非其人,則規不圓而矩不方,繩不直而準不平,鉆燧不得火,鼓石不下金, 驅馬不可以追速,進舟不可以涉水也。凡此八者,天之張道,有形見物, 苟非其人,猶尚無功,則又況乎懷道術以撫民氓,乘六龍以御天心者哉? 夫治世不得真賢,譬猶治病不得真藥也。治病當得真人參,反得支蘿服。人君求賢, 下應以鄙,己不別真,受猥官之,國以侵亂。

Thinking of worthies...The best doctor treats the state. The next best doctor treats sickness. A person who governs a state is indeed like somoeone who cures the body. Illness is sickness of the body; disorder is sickness of the state. With the body's illness, we rely on medicine to cure it; with the state's disorder, we rely on the worthy to render it orderly. For bringing order within the body, we have the arts of the Yellow Emperor('s medical classic); for bringing order to the world, we have the classics of Confucius. Hewever, when an illness cannot be cured or a state's disorder rectified, it is not that the method of acupuncture is wrong and the sayings of the five classics are perverted, but that the one who uses them in not the right man. If he is not the right man, then the compass will not draw circles, nor the square corners. The inked string will not lie straight, nor the balance be level. The fire-starting drill will not produce flame, nor will ore melt into metal. A goaded horse cannot be driven fast, nor a boat be propelled across a river. All eight of these instances are manifestations of the Way of Heaven: they take shape, appearing in objects. However, if one is not the right man, he cannot accomplish anything. How much truer is it that those who comfort the people need to embrace the Way, and those who harness the six dragons need to transmit the mind of Heaven? Trying to bring order to the world without obtaining real worthies is like trying to cure an illness without obtaining the right medicine. It is as if, in curing an illness, when one ought to use ginseng, a turnip is used instead;... If a ruler seeks the worthy and his subordinates respond with the mediocre, or if a ruler does not investigate discerningly but appoints the mediocre to official positions, he will be in danger.

The longer a bullet is in flight the slower it begins to travel and the more it loses altitude. This is called "the drop". A hunter takes into account the drop, the temperature, barometric pressure and wind direction and velocity when lining up a money shot. Over distance you want to have your crosshairs above the target. The bullet will then "drop" where you want it.

"I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire. The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire and I control the British money supply."...Nathan Rothschild [1777~1836] Financier, Founder of Rothschild banking dynasty

"...what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes"...John Swinton Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times when asked to toast an 'Independent Press'

The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. [T]he capacity to assert social and political control over the individual will vastly increase. It will soon be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and to maintain up-to-date, complete files, containing even most personal information about the health or personal behavior of the citizen in addition to more customary data. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities."...Zbigniew Brzezinski 'Between Two Ages'
