(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.

Thinking About Apollo 11

I was too young to remember it, but I was inspired by it and the subsequent missions. I didn’t want them to stop. I wanted the Orbital stations, the moon colony, and the mars mission. I wanted my Science fiction future. I don’t want humans stuck on Terra Firma waiting for a natural or self-created [...]

“Southern States v. Lincoln”

Catholicgauze has it right.
There is no Texan right to succession.
There is madness in that kind of talk. I want no part of a political movement that seems okay with its “leaders” suggesting that sort of thing.
The matter was settled a long time ago.
The Union Forever.

5GW Thinking Snippet from Nikita Khrushchev

From the The Wednesday Report:
Nikita Khrushchev once said, “We cannot expect the American people to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism until they awaken one day to find they have Communism”.
That sounds familiar.

“What will be a great surprise to the American people is that the GRU and KGB had a larger budget for antiwar propaganda in the United States that it did for economic and military support of the Vietnamese”

A great example in Influence Warfare (and it is 5GW-ish too) from USNAVYVET2002:

The GRU and the KGB helped to fund just about every antiwar movement and organization in America and abroad. Funding was provided via undercover operatives or front organizations. These would fund another group that in turn would fund student organizations. The GRU also [...]

Draft – Shadows of 5GW: The Default American PoV has become a Leftist POV

I started writing this back some time. I wrote out the rest of on a legal pad in long hand which I can not f*cking find at the moment! Since Seerov, is heading into this area, I want to publish what I have so far. I will re-write the rest shortly.
So here it is so [...]

“…the Joint Chiefs of Staff, using the stenographer as their agent, actively spied on the civilian command during the Vietnam War”

Interesting:
A Navy stenographer assigned to the National Security Council during the Nixon administration “stole documents from just about every individual that he came into contact with on the NSC,” according to newly declassified White House documents.
The two-dozen pages of memoranda, transcripts and notes — once among the most sensitive and privileged documents in the [...]

One of the Email thingies: “The Year 1908″

I usually don’t pass this on, but the one from the PurpleMom was pretty interesting:<br />
This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine! The year is 1908. One hundred years ago. What a difference a century makes! Here are some statistics for the Year 1908 :
************ ********* ********* ******
The average life expectancy was [...]

Wow! Google Earth Ancient Rome!!!

I found a reference to “Google Earth Ancient Rome” via Rachel Lucas.
Wow that looks fun!

“At a summit in Brussels, Nicolas Sarkozy said ’solutions’ would be found for those that had expressed concerns”

Those are words that should give a chill to any European opposed to Marxism/Socialism creeping in under the Green policy – given Europe’s history.

The System That Is America and “Palin is qualified for high office by temperament if not by education, and is preferable to candidates whose education has made no improvement on their characters”

A great line by “Spengler” on Palin at the Asia Times!
The article has much insight on The System That Is America (I am trying out that the phrase of my own), that is often lacking from our own media, establishment elites and my fellow citizens:
All the PhDs and MBAs in the world can’t make a [...]

“Maybe we should abandon the idea of issuing apologies as if history was a court eternally in session”

Wisdom from the Catholic Church.

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.

“5GW Deception Operations And The Soviet Precedent”

Somehow I missed this great post by A.E. at Dreaming 5GW when it came out.
In it he brings out lessons for 5GW from the Soviet experience:
So what lessons can we take from the Soviet example?
- 5GW operations on the operational level will consist of deception operations designed to sow confusion among the enemy, influence decision-making, [...]

Schlitz Beer is Back…and Coming to Milwaukee

I was excited when the classic Schlitz formula was re-introduced.
It is coming back to Milwaukee next week!
From JSOnline:
The original formula for Schlitz beer, which was last widely used over 30 years ago, will soon be available in Milwaukee as part of the effort to revive that once-popular brand.
The beer, which is being marketed as the [...]

Here is the link:
This blog is made up of transcripts of Harry Lamin’s letters from the first World War. The letters will be posted exactly 90 years after they were written. To find out Harry’s fate, follow the blog!

Book Notes: Nicholas Wade’s – “Before the Dawn: Recovering the Lost History of Our Ancestors”

I bought and finally read Nicholas Wade’s – “Before the Dawn: Recovering the Lost History of Our Ancestors” after catching references to it around the blogosphere (e.g. TDAXP)
I loved it.
This book makes an interesting pass at writing down the “pre-history” of humans mostly based upon on genetics and human DNA analysis.
Wade notes the following as [...]

“The OSS Morale Operations Branch in Action, 1943-1945″

Interesting:
The OSS Morale Operations Branch, unlike the U.S. Army or the OWI, practiced covert strategic and tactical morale operations based on deception and subversion. The types of campaigns conducted and the methods used supposedly closely resembled Nazi fifth-column activities of the 1930s and early 1940s. The OSS used whatever means gained results, and its members [...]

The French Resistance in WW2 Was Not a 4GW Force

In a recent TPMB 5GW related post, commenter Vinay Gupta wrote:
Was what the French Resistance did against the Germans 4GW?
If not, why not?
The answer is “no”. The French Resistance groups were not 4GW forces.
He are some thoughts why:
The French Resistance did some psyops but they were mostly for the benefit of those French not yet [...]
