(old found draft post)Historical 5GW Example: The Anti-Nixon 5GW-ish Coup

Dec 31, 2008 @ 15:53
I should still write this up more fully, if I have time to get into it. The revelation was pretty shocking and way under-reported.

(old found draft post) Ralph Peters: “the complexity of counterterror operations comes down to three essential requirements”

Dec 4, 2008 @ 10:17
I am not sure why I didn’t post it. I guess I didn’t feel like going to how to do a counter-terror/counter-4GW 5GW. I should come back to this idea.

In the NY Post:
All the complexity of counterterror operations comes down to three essential requirements: Superb intelligence, ruthless determination and tremendous patience.

The PurpleStimulus or Let Banks Fail…but fast and other goodies (“On The Bailout” Series)

This started out as a comment at TDAXP [1].
Here is what the USAGOV should do (not what they plan to do [2]) – and it should be done quickly and without mercy:
1) Have Bank regulators set the appropriate capitalization level for the bank
2) Assuming level not met, declare bank insolvent.
3) Wipe the shareholders (common and [...]

Here is what my brain is screaming: How do we make the next version of the USA?

I am pretty pissed. This is all I can think of right now.
It is time to put this statist / Marxist / corrupt-elites crap behind us once and for all.

Update: Read this at Amicablecollisions –
Is it going too far to conclude that our political class is a greater threat to America than Al Qaeda? [...]

Munzenberg Commented Promoted: “What leftists need is an example set for them where Islam attacks one of their precious tenets.”

Munzeberg wrote as a comment:
What leftists need is an example set for them where Islam attacks one of their precious tenets. Women’s rights is a classic one. This would have to happen on a long time scale and would be of their own doing i.e. letting Islam becoming a major force in a western country. [...]

Promise: I will write a post on “How to Fix Milwaukee”…

…in the next few months. This is inspired by this comment which got me thinking.

The Beloit College Mindset list for the Class of 2012…

…has been released here (now with video).
Some of the previous years (2002 through 2011) can be found here.
I noticed there is no mindset list for my graduating year. I may have to make one and/or a personal mindset list. That might make a good “Meme” post.

“Dictatorial Capitalism”

I spotted this interesting comment at a TPMB post:
Not to argue, Matt, however, How many Chinese troops are trying to stabilize the situation in Sudan, or Myanmar? Any efforts by the Chinese to change any governments in Africa? Not really.
While I’m not particularily a fan of Communism, or “Dictatorial Capitalism” (I guess that’s what one [...]

Note to MySelf: 6GW as Post-Singularity Warfare?

While reading a new-ish Dreaming 5GW post, I followed this old link to Shloky’s blog where the idea of Sixth-Generation Warfare (6GW) came up.
I am posting it here as a reminder to myself to post on the issues.
It is too soon to be thinking 6GW. The post-singularity world can be glimpsed though.
Here is my comment:
I [...]

Capitalism 3.0?

This isn’t it.
It might make an interesting post or series of posts on the characteristics and rule-sets for a Capitalism 3.0 (tying in globalization, PNM Theory, evolution of the nation-state into a post-nationalism state and the rise of global non-state actors and super-empowered individuals, information and information technology, etc.).
FuturePurpleslog has a big assignment.

Nobel Prize Winner Phelps on “Dynamic Capitalism”

Edmund Phelps writes in the opinion Journal on “Dynamic Capitalism:
There are two economic systems in
the West. Several nations–including the U.S., Canada and the
U.K.–have a private-ownership system marked by great openness to the
implementation of new commercial ideas coming from entrepreneurs, and
by a pluralism of views among the financiers who select the ideas to
nurture by providing the [...]

Essays I am Too Lazy to Write: Media Warfare, 4GW, Meme Wars

Thoughts:

The west is loosing
Must integrate media warfare into all operations (strategic, Operational, and Tactical)
Three targets: ones supports, the fence sitters (leaning either way), ones enemies
We Need Grunts with Blogs and Digital Cameras
1get better at positive media warfare…getting sound and eye bytes out there for dissemination and re-packaging at all levels
counter-media warfare must be set up…the [...]

Battlespace Shaping, Chess, 5GW, and the Khrushchev Maneuver

Zenpunit has a short post on battlespace shaping using chess as an analogy. I think some very interesting posts could come from work out all sorts of examples for different games (American Football, Go, Bridge, Poker, etc.).
RevG brings in 5GW:
Now consider that your opponent is actually many opponents using your apparent opponent as a proxy; [...]
