Perhaps a national simplicity state would be more livable than a national security state. For example, a federal executive branch comprising just three departments, State, Treasury, and Defense, and a federal information classification regime that applies only to active military combat operations.
Certainly the national security state is neither, as national security officials
empty jails and prisons,
arrest on contrived charges and hold without trial innocent citizens,
inculpate evidence against innocent citizens,
murder citizens extrajudicially,
inject experimental substances into entire populations,
poison and suppress information streams with IO,
decline to make a National Budget and a National Security Strategy,
print money to cause inflation,
distrust and distress citizens,
surveil everyone and everything,
torment children . . .
etc., etc., and so forth.
There is no security, no Americanism, not even a state in any of that. There are, however, heaps of sententious insanity and gobs of tormenting morbidity.
A national simplicity state would be an improvement. Citizens could breathe easily again. Perhaps The All American Party can use that concept as a plank in their platform.
We’re getting down to it now on the question of authority. This is the question of the era. National security officials who relish opportunities to torment citizens have forced the issue. The skirmish line is at The Equal Protection Clause of The 14th Amendment, just as Tricia Lindsay says it is in the video below. Lindsay points out also that this is war, war against tyrannical, torment-loving government and private officials. In that case — and it is the case — classic concepts of war-fighting apply and must be employed without demurrer. For example:
Push forward a skirmish line — Professional Guilds: Theologians, Medical Doctors, Soldiers, Lawyers, Pedagogues — to make first contact.
Push forward and extend laterally a forward line of troops (FLOT) — Professional Guilds, sheriffs, laborers, truckers, bus drivers, pilots, mothers, fathers, managers, grounds keepers, electricians, framers, transportation and other communication workers, programmers, philanthropists, business owners, hospitality workers, former and active military personnel, maritime personnel — to maintain contacts with the enemy, contacts that keep open opportunities for decision as to next targets and attack formation profiles.
With contact established across a wide area, make decisions to mass and attack at a decisive point, penetrate enemy lines at multiple points, envelop the enemy around one of both of his flanks, fake a retreat to draw an enemy into a pocket, sap and mine enemy lines, etc.
Exploit the seams, the intervals, the intermissions between blocks of time, blocks of space, blocks of substance, and blocks of causation. Washington’s decision to encamp The Continental Army for training at Valley Force, PA over the record cold winter of 1777-1778 exploited a temporal seam between campaigns and a substantial seam between ordinary citizens and a professional army.
The fog and friction of war help throw progress into existence. Authority is love. There is no other kind. Government and private officials, in their persons and actions, concretize love or lose legitimacy. Only that which is loving is lawful. Rerum Novarum is a locus classicus for announcement of this great truth along with several of its subsidiary considerations. These are reviled or ignored at personal, familial, and national peril. Statutes, acts, and decisions embody love or they are species of violence soon to be treated as they deserve.
Tricia Lindsay’s speech above dates, as best I can find, from the first two weeks of January 2022. I have found an excerpt dated 12 January 2022 on Instagram. Most referrers — including myself yesterday — say she spoke this in New York City. In fact, she spoke it in Albany, NY. She stands at the west end of West Capitol Park facing east, on S Swan Street between Washington Ave. and State Street. The Alfred E. Smith State Office Building is behind her, the colonnaded New York State Board of Pharmacy is to her left, and the New York State Capitol is to her front. The video, as above, appears to have been posted to YouTube first between 9 and 11 February 2022. It is also now at Rumble.

DO NOT fancy Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals as textbook
for war underway against national security officials.
Alinsky assumed his acolytes to be the
lesser party in asymmetric warfare.
This today is asymmetric warfare, but,
the lesser party is national security officials.
American patriots are The Establishment,
not self-installed national security officials bullies.
American Patriots are The Establishment, not self-installed national security officials bullies. I love and admire Tulsi, but in her mind the order of battle is reversed from what it truly is.
This also is why we do not use Alinsky for doing anything helpful. We are in an asymmetrical warfare condition, as Saul was, but his ideas are for the lesser party in such a conflict, not the greater one, which American Patriots are. This is now Gandhi thought. He was not the weaker party, he was the stronger party. He felt that, he thought that, he lived that, he believed that, which is why he triumphed. He did not need millions of followers. All he needed was Sathya, Truth. The truth is always the majority, the large majority.
Alinsky was only about envy, anger, and hate, the perfect mentor for HRC. Any conservative or libertarian who commends Alinsky is serving up poison.
Fidel Castro’s son Justin Trudeau was elected by 20% of Canadians legally eligible to vote. He has no flanks, only direct force, and that on a narrow front. Demented Organized Crime Boss Joe Biden was installed in the White House, not elected at all, by national security state officials bullies, nationals of USA and other countries. These bullies and their figurehead have no front, only force, and that chaotic.
