Waging Peace with Cultural Weapons

This is a field manual to achieve victory in the struggle between Islamist Nationalism and the American Incumbency. The conclusion submits that victory for both sides is the only outcome which will avert a disastrous degeneration of the global political status quo into a considerably lower level of civil affairs.

In beginning, I must qualify my self as a Mayflower descendant whom is also a Muslim. I am proud of both aspects of my heritage, although naturally i did not choose to be born with this poignant backgound.  Suffice it to say that as a native of both worlds, I can see the righteousness implicit in each doctrine and likewise the failure of each to recognize in eachother the common human drive to be dignified, which gave rise to many groupings over the course of history.  Declaring independence can take place in many ways, but in all there lies a message of equality.

As is the case often in nature, symmetrical balance suggests the possiblity that the self evident truth that all men are created equal comes with its commensurate mirror truth: the denial of human equality has dire implications. The rightful assertion of one’s equality can either triumph, or be temporarily defeated. The latter leads social illness akin to inferiority complex.  Thus the vanquished society may be said to suffer from condition of mass inferiority complex, which leave its culture subject to the appeal of demagogues. These opportunists capitalize on an unspoken but widespead sense of patriotism gone bad, and rise to power on the promise of restoring some romanticized ultra orthodox golden era, which existed in a past more likely to be imaginary than not.  The promise of lifting the chins of a downtrodden people, usurping the deep need for leadership, and commonly transferring responsability for the prevailing unhappiness upon some scapegoat, the demagogue wears the trappings of true leadership but offers no real means to restore the dignity of his people, because this cannot be achieved without the recognition of the universal equality of all men. Overcompensation does not reverse the unfairly subjugated populace; it leads to the inevitable destabilization of the larger geopolitical environment and to further encroachment and disequilibirum.

The Islamist radical must thus be seen in light of the other instances in which history has casued injustice to be followed by overcompensation, and further injustice. The Nazi’s, the KKK, etc. are all borne of the defeated nations of previous wars where hatred was incubated in the neglected slums of once proud cities.

I submit that had the Continental Army been roundly defeated by King Georges Men in 1776, the thriteen colonies would have remained divided, and the Yankee drum would not have been silenced but would rather have turned into an instrument to hold the tar and feathers awaiting loyalists and redcoats. Such was the case with the young German nation whose outraged defiance after Napoleonic incursions, and assertion of equality in the face of Empire’s surrounding it, led to a furious re emergence of its identity time and again. Still, the lesson should be clear that even defeated by two wars, the great nations will be inexorably manifest in the course of time. Perhaps we could further infer that under shared hardship the social cohesiveness of a group is enhanced, and by establishing the dynamic of a rebel society or culture of insurrection, the ardent pursuit of retribution merely promotes the legitimacy of the most extreme factions in a group defined by its resistance to a stronger force. 

Given that a stronger foe is dominating the conflict in which one is engaged, the inspired leader must take strategy to a new level of creative innovation. The use of violence against a stronger foe would by iself be useless, making the competition be purely on terms which favor the incumbent. Instead, subterfuge dictates that misdirection characterise the rebel strategy.

Islamist Nationalism is no Threat in of itself, however Vanquished Self Deternmination may decay into Desperate and Dangerous Fanaticism

Liberty is the Right of any human which aspires to a dignified and empowered existence. Much in the same way self determionation holds a central role in the United Nations’ recognized human rights, the freedom to express an identity which supersedes that of the nation state can not be denied by any moral grounds. The emergent identity of the Muslim is never going to be a right given to a lesser being, but to the contrary, it is a basic facet of his or her protected liberties. Now with that being stated, it follows that the citizenry of the nation state being suddenly acutely aware of its waning place in the priority of its citizenry may seek to prevent the free Muslim from asserting this rising aspect of his citizenship, due to fears of the authority once monopolized by the nation state eroding. Why this is taking place is clearly due to the failure of said regimes to effectively enfranchise its many segments of society and provide a forum for their civil traditions of cometing interest to develop. Thus, expression is stifled by the one party, despotic, corrupt, and narrow spectrum of citizens whom are empowered to take ownershiop of the reigns of power. Furthermore, the natural means which saw such autocratic adminstrations overthrown in the Western experience has been artificially halted in teh Arab World due to foregin military support of inept autocracies. These aging juntas are nearly universally found in the Arab World, which has come to be regarded as largely vassal states, peripheral to the incumbent world powers. This frustrated polity whose expression can be soley found in the confines of the Mosque, and in futile cyniciscm of the coffee shop, has build up pressure which in time turned to Radicalsim and on to Violent conflict. Given that the prime objective of the Islamist insurrection is to remove failed Arab nation states, it is not surprising that their efforts soon turned to their percieved patrons in the west. Rather than undertake a linear campaign, their inferior numbers dictated strategies which effectively innovated warfare to a degree equal to that of any disruptive contenter in history. Rather than mount campaigns against ranks of soldiers equally matched, the only hope the Islamist Insurrection ha to succeed is to use asymmetrical warfare, and create subterfuge laden campaigns featuring provocations and misdirected manipulation of the world media to achieve an overall obvjective which is not measured in acres, but rather in the dissemination of paradigms in a target population which likely would support the subsequent overt revolution in the Arab Nations targeted.  The Islamist contingent does not offer the target population the promise of active involvement in the decentralizaiton of adminstrative power, rather it shuns the liberal democracy as a construct of the West, to be left behind along with Bougois trappings currently prevalent in Arab Upper classes.  Thus the Islamist dilemma is how to secure the support of the masses whose political representation will continue to be nomnal under the proposed new theocratic alternative. The answer is by the active creation of a socially widespread change in culture and values, whcih is the subject of my next maxim: Paradgim Deployment in Ideological Warfare.

The God Maxim: A maxim for the Causal Inferred Prime Cause, or God.

Whatever originated the big bang i define as ‘GOD”. Regardless of any other assertions, I can safely formulate a maxim which defines “That Which Gave Rise to the Big Bang is GOD”, regardless of what ’IT’ was. Pivotal to this concept is that implicit in the prime cause was all the events that were to follow, as from the viewpoint of a newtonian observer, all matter and energy reduced to its common denominators and collected in a point would expand into a frictionless void without encountering any resistance whatsoever. Hence possibly following a pattern whose unfolding could be comprehensively predetermined, with commensurate implications for the subseqeunt nature of the concept of “Fate”, as from a theoretical vantage point it would be concievable that a perfect mind (such as only God could have) may have been able to predict with exact precision the entirety of creations unfolding over time. I am not very sure about this notion, and I admit it may be simply false, but the elegance struck me in a moment of pondering, and since then has provided a reference point against which to chart other observations. In any case, thus providing a common point of reference which can be inferred exists outside our universe without needing to observe it. The importance of this maxim is one which i scarcely need to explain, as it provides a correlation between the scientific doctrines and those of a religious nature. I sought to reason my way back to the beginning of creation, and given that our present observable universe can be regressed back to a single point of origin. All things that I know exist today, are effects of previous causes which in turn derive from earlier events. Moot point perhaps, or perhaps it is a founding axiom to reconcile science and religion. Dunno.

This work is in flux.

I pretend to disclose the true meaning of Liberty to you as if I were an authoritative voice, with powers vested to me by Masonic Grandmasters. Not so. I am merely a mechansim for delivery of notions which must be endorsed or discarded according to their own merits.  As such, i can temporarily remove the veil of modesty which prevents the assertion of truths we all feel daily, but are not confident enough to voice. The aim of any society must be to instill the confidence of self in its children so that they can be as close as possible to a force of nature, and unihibited these oracles might become vehicles for widsom infused in messages that originate beyond the cognition of individuals. The freedom to be sought through total lack of fear, and deliberate absence of deductive reason can channel ideas that may otherwise take centuries to emerge from Plato’s world of abstracts into our mundane daily world.  Of course these must be taken with the understanding that they are only as good as the logic that resides in them, or the truth that resounds in the open listener.   But before debasing the currency of my voice with truths well intentioned but poorly conveyed, its wise to turn to the banal but tangible reality that is our imminent threat, approaching ever more surely. The end will result from a drop in the worlds currently established conventions; Currenty and Trade Practices. Unviersal application of laws  will break down if no elders are wise enough to call their leaders to task for breaking the established practices of trade. Similarly, if no respect for the objetive truth that science only partly describes is clearly imparted from the wise to the powerful, then the fall of our civilization will come, surely as teh shoulders upon which Isaac Newton stood will become cracked bones and laid low.

 

I am a Mayflower Egyptian. I am a Muslim Arab that is a proven descendant of the man who invented Thanksgiving: Governor William Bradford. I challenge any whom claim to be patriots to seek out the spirit that inspired what is the purest pillar of American Identity, and in so doing discover the widest meaning of Liberty and Equality and Justice.  I have found these to require our identity as Americans to become altered so as to include our human membership and thus the emergence of World Patriotism. Further, since our fathers have also been those whom have failed to instill any vestige of reverence for our universally shared origin as parts of nature, we can explain the new meaning of human fellowship with creation at large as Matriotism. This term is in my mind best captures the direction in which history is pushing us. I hold that it is this lesson of unity and membership in natures larger order which lies at the end of our historical experience of the period since the advent of agriculture and our abandonment of modes of living that had characterized human existence for 100 thousand years prior to the end of the last ice age.
