Leadership Lesson for the day (How to Defeat your Enemy or Countering Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals). In my time studying our enemies, there are many leadership lessons learned worth sharing. Two of those lessons regarding any adversary are: 1. You better read your enemy’s doctrine and, 2. Listen to what they say and more important, how they act. On that note, I’ve lifted a section from a great book by a Mr. Chris Adamo. His entire book is well worth reading—he shares a level of wisdom and intellect few possess, especially during these uncertain times. Here we go (Rule # w/ Action): Rule #1: Do not apologize unless a genuine wrong has been committed. Action: Refuse to be manipulated into false apologies, which radicals use to gain power and demoralize opponents (a direct counter to Alinsky's ridicule and pressure tactics). Rule #2: Expose leftist schemes and inconsistencies. Action: Aggressively reveal hypocrisy, lies, and destructive intentions rather than merely defending against attacks. Rule #3: Maintain principles and the moral high ground. Action: Do not compromise core values or descend to the left's level of deceit; principled consistency is a strength. Rule #4: Avoid reactive defense. Action: Shift from defense to offense by proactively highlighting the left's agenda and tactics. Rule #5: Recognize and reject intimidation and chaos tactics. Action: Do not allow fear, personal attacks, or manufactured crises to force concessions. Rule #6: Do not let radicals dictate the rules. Action: Refuse to be held to standards the left ignores (ie., Countering Alinsky's "make the enemy live up to its own book of rules"). Rule #7: Personalize and polarize the target when appropriate. Action: Turn Alinsky's own tactics (e.g., Rule 13: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it") against radicals by spotlighting their leaders and their flaws. Rule #8: Stay calm and strategic under pressure. Action: Avoid emotional reactions that radicals exploit to portray opponents as extreme. Rule #9: Defend foundational American principles and values. Action: Frame arguments around liberty, truth, and the Constitution to counter cultural and political erosion. Rule #10: Engage proactively in culture and politics. Action: Do not cede ground; actively promote and defend conservative values to prevent radical dominance. Local action can have a national impact. Chris Adamo’s excellent book emphasizes understanding Alinsky's playbook first (to know the enemy), then applying counter-tactics like verbal jujitsu, refusal to retreat, and consistent exposure. It’s well worth the read! Rock Steady! amazon.com/Rules-Defeating-R…

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; When using our forces, we must appear inactive; When we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; When far away, we must make him believe we are near. Sun tzu, The Art of War

ATTENTION: Subject: A Stark Warning to America I have been warning America for more than a decade (in uniform and out of uniform) about the rise of Islamism and Marxism, an unholy alliance that doesn’t accept any form of God at its very core. I have been consistently standing up against these dangerous ideas and I have been persecuted for speaking TRUTH TO POWER. I have the distinct “honor” of being fired by two presidents, one because he couldn’t handle the truth and the other who was told a lie by those Judases around him. Judases who still exist today. However, this short missive is not about me, it is about America’s Future. We are in an existential Arch of U.S. history and we must act. Our leaders, starting with @realDonaldTrump must fight through the noise of those advising him that this is about political differences between a two party system. IT IS NOT and far from it! Large swaths of our government have been taken over by radicalized groups like cancer takes over the human body and eventually destroys it. It is vastly deeper than most realize. It goes from the federal government all the way down to the local levels (consider the take over of our local school boards for instance). I understand it better than most because I have been witness to it as a high ranking insider, as well as on the outside intently studying and observing the dangerous domestic and global shifts. I stood against it and those who control it tried their damndest to crush me and my family…to bury us hoping we would fade away. We will only lose if we quit and I was taught to never back down from a fight. Why is this happening? There are many reasons, but the main reason is complacency by the American people over decades. Yes, there are others, but putting my finger on the pulse of America, this is the primary reason. What Now? @POTUS must act now. He must give full authorities to every one of those he put into key leader positions to systematically and professionally remove people, resign them, retire them and in some cases investigate them for criminal prosecution. He must consider use of his national security and national emergency powers that only he has. The POTUS has extraordinary powers to “preserve” our constitutional republic. It is his and only his to apply these authorities but he must seriously consider using them. There are moments in history that are seminal turning points. Others call them inflection points. During those Archs of history, great leaders stood and passed the test. Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were two leaders who stood on the front lines of freedom, took charge during existential Archs of U.S. history and demonstrated extraordinary leadership. Both paid a heavy price, but each saved our nation, one from it not being created, the other from it splitting in two. We are experiencing another of these existential moments with its own unique blend of characteristics. Everyone can see and feel the challenges. If we cannot overcome this moment, we face losing everything. To every U.S. citizen who reads this, wake up to the fact that our freedom MUST be sacrificed for. Just ask the millions who have gone before us who have given their lives. Freedom is fragile and to hold on to it requires each citizen to accept some of the responsibility for why we’re here now. To secure our FREEDOMs requires great sacrifice, always has and always will. Take this warning as a gesture of love. Love of God. Love of family. Love of country.
