RAMANAM
In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.
Countrymen,
ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT
The hegemonistic criminals humanity is defending itself against derive, proximately, from two injustices in the political realm, specifically, two usurpations: the Saud family of the Hashemite family in the Hejaz and Shi’ite Arab families of Persian families in Iran. The United States and Great Britain supported the Sauds against the Hashemites in 1920 and failed to support the Persian families against the Shi’ite Arabs in 1979.
So we are complicit, from improper political philosophy and from cowardice, I should say, in our own disquiet.
By way of correcting mistakes, the United States and Great Britain are now teaching Middle Easterners the modes of earning peace through consultation and cooperation, which are foundation characteristics of a new era that is upon us.
Here are the realities that are also strategic objectives that have popular support in the vexed countries:
1- The Hashemite family is to be restored to sovereign stewardship of the Hejaz, which brings with it Damascus and Baghdad.
2- Leadership indicated by the Universal House of Justice, Haifa, Israel, is to be advanced to sovereign stewardship of Iran (Persia).
3- Kurdish aspirations for nationhood are to be supported into actuality.
4- Afghan aspirations for national prosperity are to continue being supported into actuality.
5- Consultation among India, the United States, Russia, Germany and Japan already guides the dimension of history and is to continue so for centuries.
Update 1: And Al Saud intends to keep it up.
Update 2: On 27 January 2015, Marine GEN (Ret.) James N. Mattis addressed the United States Senate Armed Services Committee on the subject A New American Grand Strategy. At Hoover Institution, who published an adapted version of General Mattis’ address, I commented — with edits here — as follows:
Not that it matters, but, I both appreciate and despond over General Mattis’ address here. Appreciate because (1) as a genuine warrior he says what he sees and eloquently and (2) his heart is unalloyed courage and compassion. Despond because (1) his address reflects lack of situational awareness — half his auditors at least regard the nation state, including USA, as obsolete and perishing — and (2) his address, although latterly specifying or implying serious tactical weaknesses of current operations, transits the periphery of his title: grand national strategy.
It is rare for a military leader to grasp and execute the several strands — principally diplomatic, economic and military, but others as well — of grand national strategy sufficiently to create a rational grand national strategic *objective* that is also inspirational. It is rare for anyone to be able to do that. General David Petraeus has that ability, which is why the Anti-American, Globalist-partisan US Justice [so-called] Department is persecuting/prosecuting him. Asking Congress or a bureaucracy to develop that ability and execute with it compares with asking a herd of cats to organize an expedition to summit Annapurna. Distilling and serving a happy grand national strategic *objective* is a personal, leadership thing few can do, but some definitely can and do accomplish. Their thoughts merit discovery and attendance.
The cynosure of a nation is not her grand national strategy. It is her grand national strategic *objective.* Given what we see now, project and anticipate — always expecting the unexpected, as General Mattis mentions, thankfully, in his address — where and what do we want to be as a nation three, five, ten, etc. years hence? What is our objective? What do we really, truly — as a nation — want for and of ourself to be, to do, to think? What is our inner necessity as a nation? What are we on this earth to accomplish as a national presence? And why do members of Congress not live in the states from which they were selected for office?
Related: On 04 March 2015 Marine GEN (Ret.) James N. Mattis wrote for Hoover Institution under title Using Military Force Against ISIS. I commented:
I am content that GEN (Ret.) Mattis’ thinking, clear and compelling, be expressed in public. Thank you, General! Our countrymen are working their way towards how they will think and what they will do when they are quit of the hag riding their back. And they will be that. This exercise in preparation for the restoration of national sovereignty and wealth flowing from national moral and intellectual strength is what should be happening and what is happening. I am content.
Update 3: Stephen D. Krasner embodies the bathetic stupidity of America’s ruling class. I commented:
Good enough governance. Sounds micro-managerial, timid, sophistical/Solomonic and Ivory Tower. And a military not tasked with winning a war/conflict? … words fail and casting aspersions is unmanly. I prefer colonization and culture-splicing. Solve the problem, don’t manage it. It is unmanageable. Defeat it or detach from it. Do not manipulate/manage it.
Update 4: Michael J. Totten reviews ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror
Update 5: The Kingpin Strategy … it fails!
Actually, the kingpin strategy as this author presents it is a misread of the strategy that eliminated Pablo Escobar and a mis-learning of the lessons thereof. Escobar was reached — by US military, as I recall, not DEA or CIA — by working inward from his perimeter protections, eliminating those piecemeal, until none was left to protect the boss who had been their center. That is how Pablo came to be running alone on a roof. None remained to protect him, all had been neutralized. Other networks than Pablo’s increased the flow of cocaine into the USA following his death. Had kingpin strategy been applied to Pablo, his own network would have decentralized and, probably with others, even more ramped up the flow of product to American nostrils.
Conclusion: a network is taken down by movement from its periphery towards its center, not by direct movement at its center. See also the elimination of Saddam Hussein — in a rat hole without protection. If other networks move to replace or even restore an eliminated network — a near certainty, at least by effort — then the same strategy is applied to them, one at a time or several simultaneously, as assets permit.
Expose the queen by killing off her guardians. Then kill the queen. If the queen only is killed, up front, her guardians will anoint a new queen and proceed merrily onward with conjurings from their fevered minds.
Update 6: Scott Johnson at Power Line links two videos of Senator Tom Cotton discussing USA foreign policy. These are instructive, depressingly so. I commented as follows:
I have attended, carefully, both videos mentioned here. Senator Cotton is a good man, a fine man. His intellect, heart and bona fides are unimpeachable. He walks point for the best intentions and thinking our nation’s official leader cadre can produce at this moment in time.
His grasp of American strategic objective, strategy and tactics so lags the need as to arouse disconsolation.
This is not a personal failure of Senator Cotton’s. It is a corporate failure of America’s leader cadre. And behind them it is a failure of America’s parents (in particular, mothers, but also fathers), schools, churches and synagogues to foster spiritual, cultural and moral infrastructure that builds and protects our mother country.
