Perhaps the media ought to be (cough) "dealt with", as well...
"How many times have we heard the comment from 'protesters' "This is war"?
To some of them, at least, it is.
To the rest of us, it is something happening somewhere else, performed by jerks and crooks and the ignorant spew of institutions of 'higher education', and not seen as the organized, coordinated, well funded, and likely well armed (behind the scenes, in general) Communist insurrection it is."
I read something a few days ago over at TOS. Wish I had thought of it, but have to be honest that I'm just paraphrasing and expanding here what someone else wisely observed. That is:
In this burgeoning conflict between communism vs. the Republic, it is the left that is always "on the offensive". Everywhere they spring up with their attacks, they are on the offense. They are defining the struggle and the rules of engagement.
We, on the other hand, have played only "defense". Again and again. All we seem to be able to do is respond (in some cases, very weakly) to their offensives. The left is sensing this weakness and building upon it.
The TOS poster suggested that if our side persists in this strategy of only "on defense", then...
We will LOSE.
I agree.
What must we do to "change the action/narrative" to put our side on offense sufficiently enough to defeat them. And by "defeat", I mean CRUSH them out of existence so they cannot become a threat to us again for a long, long time?
Your thoughts...?
As a practical matter, in the elimination of any noxious scrub growth, you can eliminate it at the leaves, the branches, or the root.
The root: Institutions of Higher Education, and lower, right on down to Kindergartens which are pushing Communist indoctrination. Yep, that includes whole departments at most universities, tenured faculty and staff. Those writing that curriculum which only views the history of this country from a Marxist viewpoint and for the purposes of planting the seeds of eventual insurrection, as much a part of the Marxist Doctrine as
jihad is part of Islam, should be blacklisted and their writings only preserved for historical reasons, not subject to wide dissemination.
It does not have to be censored like doctors using hydroxychloroquine, but should be suppressed for the seditious material it is. The reason it is seditious and the way this government is supposed to work should be reinstated in the school curricula, once known as "Civics". Expose the Marxist philosophy for the lie it is.
Bring back the Blacklist for those who have been pimping this material.
The stem: The stem in any noxious weed performs the task of support, not just physically, but in passing nutrients throughout the weed. Identify those supporting these terrorist organizations, large and small. freeze bank accounts. Seize funds, and use them to fight the enemy--because Communism is, and has been the enemy of this Republic since it was squiggled into the public psyche as "scientific socialism". The ability to monitor, trace, and intercept electronic transactions exists for all but cash. Cash is physically vulnerable to interception and /or destruction. The NSA has the info. Use it. Strip assets and incarcerate the bigger offenders. Many of these organizations have Orwellian names and pay lip service to causes in ways that do not make their real purpose readily apparent. Notify small donors of the true nature of the organization and warn them against making further contributions. If they persist, drop the hammer on them.
The leaves: some are bigger than others, and the Right to believe what you will is fundamental and should be preserved. That does not mean those whose eventual goal is the destruction of the United States should not be subject to investigation, and where they have indicated that goal through words or actions, held to account legally for their actions and stated intent if such forms a conspiracy.
Just quick thoughts, I am on my way to work. But we have the tools if those in our government will use them.
Otherwise, it's down to cells, intel, and targeted wet work.
