The old saying that “One man’s Terrorist is another man’s Freedom Fighter” holds true now more than ever. The key as history dictates is to let the actions of the Aggressor (a Government gone off the rails) speak for themselves. Because the more Unconstitutional action they take, including violence against civilians via police thuggery, the…

China updates its ‘Art of (Hybrid) War’

Understanding how War can be waged in every strata of society without a bullet ever being fired is mind blowing to some but none the less a painful…
Stanleyville, 1964
A visceral, but important short documentary to watch for anyone having ‘not seen the elephant’, as my friend Keypounder puts it. This is not a pleasant watch and it is not posted for entertainment.

From the Archives, 2015. I got asked this question the other day by a close friend and it occurred to me that I had never really plainly answered that question on this blog, even though I talk about the subject frequently. I think the best way to approach this subject is through historical precedent. It…
Reading For The Near Future
I highly recommend going over to WRSA and spending some time reading through their reference reading materials on GW and 4GW. It would be time better spent than reading fake news and fear mongering I assure you.

Good Stuff from the Brushbeater/NC Scout. Matt Bracken passed along the following: Last night the Nat Geo channel showed the episode “Jungle Crash,” where a joint Colombian/US .mil ELINT surveillance plane crashes in FARC territory in the early 2000s.
