We are at a crucial moment in time when many wrongs may be righted or at least adjudicated fairly. The Kari Lake lawsuit filed today is one such touchpoint where cooler heads must prevail. Any calls for violence or call to arms must be met with a solid NO! While the process must play out according to the rule of law, we can and must make our voices heard, just not in the way the instigators and psy-opers would have us believe. Non-violence is an absolute in these circumstances. This is what we are. We are not what the MSM portrays us as, some far right-wing lunatic militia. We are rational, G-d fearing patriots! We love our neighbors and our country. We know this Family has a sordid past, yes, but also many heroes who sacrificed so that we may have a chance at the Good things in a lifetime with family and friends. The opportunity to work and better our lives. Maybe even the realization of a vision we had. And to see others achieve, there’s.
No, we don’t want violence. We want to see even those we vehemently disagree with achieve what is Good! This is America. “This is the way.”
So now what? The cultural conditioning is heavily ingrained. It’s either flight or fight. We react to the latest psy-op gas-lighting episode with outrage. But where does that lead us? Do we make thoughtful, calm choices? Instead of raging, do we resolve to see the big picture? If we believe that G-d is in control, do we resolve to be an instrument of change and not a tool for the cultural engineers to tweak the way they desire?
We resolve:
Our form of protest is non-violence. In this fight, the weapons of war are mainly digital. Engagement is on the cyber battlefield. In the chat rooms, on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and all social media. We don’t hide, or go into our holy huddle. But we engage in daily mundane tasks among friends, families, and neighbors. We are called to be soldiers for the Truth. Not passive bystanders like Adam Sandler in Click.
Recently, while reading Dr. Robert Malone's substack on Fifth generation Warfare (5GW). I was introduced to Dr. Waseem Ahmad Qureshi and Daniel Abbott. These two gentlemen bring brilliant incite for lay people drafted into this new war.
From Dr. Qureshi: The composition of warfare is changing. There is an increasing transformation in the traditional aspects of waging war: conventional techniques of warfare are in decline, and newer tactics and tools of warfare, such as information warfare, asymmetric warfare, media propaganda, and hybrid warfare, are filling the gap, blurring the lines between combatant and noncombatant, and between wartime and peacetime. The basic framework of modern warfare was elaborated by Carl von Clausewitz in his Magnus opus On War. He defined modern warfare between states as “a duel on a larger scale.” He explained its purpose as “a continuation of politics by other means,” with its core elements of “rationality of the state, probability in military command, and rage of the population.” Building on Clausewitz’s work, William S. Lind distinguished between four generations of warfare since the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, and each generation has its own way of fighting war. This Article intends to explore Lind’s fourth-generation warfare and Daniel H. Abbott’s fifth-generation warfare. It provides different interpretations of fourth-generation warfare (4GW) by several scholars. First, it explains that 4GW is asymmetric warfare fought by nonstate actors and by nonstate cultural groups, where asymmetric warfare and shadow wars are waged by nonstate actors and mercenaries for the political interests of aggressive states. Then, it provides additional interpretations of 4GW, which is often understood as fighting on a moral level employing light infantry. By contrast, other scholars believe that 4GW is fought with the tools of information and technology using cyberspace. Afterwards, this Article explores how to fight 4GW and how it is being fought. The article also investigates Abbott’s fifth-generation warfare, a war of perceptions, and explains how to fight 5GW and how it is being fought. Furthermore, this Article describes how technological progression is used as a tool of modern warfare.
Gray zone warfare, psychological warfare, information warfare, cyber warfare, and biological warfare are all part of fifth-generation warfare. Does that sound familiar? Daniel Abbot described fifth-generation warfare as a struggle of 'information and perception.'
As we battle in this new war, let us gird our minds and resolve in our hearts to seek Truth and to test what we hear and see to see if they are True. But we also wield offensive weaponry by combating the mainstream media lies and narrative building. We call it out immediately and attack the lie with Truth. We use meme warfare and passionate, logical arguments, and we appeal to reality.
