I've talked about strategy here and The Broad-Front Strategy here, strategy is important. That's why the Left uses it and they use it quite well. But not perfectly, Lets look at how they use strategy.
Destination
They have a destination, an end-point, a place where they are always heading towards. For Liberalism that is the Autonomous Individual, for Communists it is Communist man living in a Communist society, for Anarchists a world without government. While these things are dreams, fantasies, delusions, they are at one and the same time destinations. All work and every effort is directed towards achieving these destinations. Nothing is directionless and everyone knows in which direction they are heading. If by some chance they lose their direction, all they need to do is look at what others are doing to regain it.
Multiple Fronts
They always make sure that they have a finger in every pie, they try to never leave any area not covered. The government, business, the churches, education, the media, the arts, name any area of life and you'll find them involved. Officially and unofficially. They move towards power, even the tiniest bit, because they understand that local community group has power, not much, but enough. Enough to influence events when called upon to do so. It also helps that they control the official positions as well.
Mutual Support
Machineguns do not defend themselves, they defend other machineguns. They do this by providing interlocking fields of fire...in other words mutual support. This is the same thing that Liberals do, they provide each other with mutual support. Organisations defend other organisations, campaigns defend other campaigns, unofficials defend officials and vice versa. No one is left alone, everyone is protected and in turn protects. Use the Academics to protect the government, use the government to protect the environmentalists, use the media to protect the Academics. Money, influence, propaganda, power, votes, whatever they can use they use to provide that support. They always use mutual support.
Tipping The Scales
They go out of their way to support their side, it is an open secret. They protect the most outrageous behaviour on their side, but not even the most mild behaviour on any other. We have all seen it, we have all seen that they do this. Buildings burn in the background and they talk about peaceful protests. People on the Right are attacked and they talk about violence from the Right. Honestly is optional at all times. They use propaganda to support their position and to demonize any who oppose them.
Making Everything Nice
Unlike us they are rarely blunt, instead they make everything that they propose seem nice and safe. They never talk about spreading degeneracy, instead they talk about love being love. They never talk about the job loses that will come from their environmental proposals, no instead they talk about how much they love trees and animals. Everything is made nice so that it is hard to even question what they say.
Institutional Support
The best way to teach people Liberalism is to literally teach it to them. As children, in school. Even the most cynical of us find it hard to reject everything. We believe much more of their nonsense then we like to think. Everyone is infected with their ideas. The media pushes from another direction, the news, movies, TV programs, advertisements, all continue the assault. When we leave school, at whatever level of education, and we enter the workforce we like to think that we are now free of all that. Now the workplace demands that you believe the company or the government departments 'values'. They push their values in our face at every opportunity. They make sure that it is harder and harder to escape.
They Plan
After Dylann Roof murdered a group of black parishioners, the Left was ready. They didn't know his intentions, but they did know that the day would come when something bad would happen. When it did they were ready. Within days they had demonized the Confederate and Rhodesian flags. They pushed to get them banned, to stop people buying or selling them. To brand anyone who displayed one a racist. It wasn't organic, the broad details were planned, only the specifics needed to be filled in. Here is a classic example of their forward thinking, of how they organise campaigns.
Rolling One Campaigns
When they are working well they roll out one campaign at a time and only one, all their attention is on that campaign. The environment, homosexual rights, abortion, lands right, so on. One campaign and they bombard us with it as if it is the only issue in the entire world. They are relentless, they start out of nowhere, most times there is no warning and then it is upon us. Every TV and radio station, every newspaper, the internet, everything is about this one issue. But people get sick of it and they begin to rebel, they begin to say enough is enough. The Right begins to organise against it and then it simply vanishes, as if it was never an issue. After a short reprieve a new campaign on a completely different topics begins. Rinse and repeat over and over again.
What They Do Wrong
But they don't always use strategy correctly, their most common mistake is to continue a campaign for too long. Each campaign is supposed to advance the ideas in a small way. Each step is small so that people think that it is their own idea, not one that was planted there as part of a campaign that took place months or years ago. It is ingenious making people think that it is their own idea and that this is all organic and natural, the natural order of things. When in reality it is completely artificial and organised.
Another thing that they can do wrong is to over egg the pudding, to give too much attention to something that normal people are not happy with. The movie Cuties is a perfect example of this. The campaign was to sexualize children, but most people are not on board with that. So it backfired. It brought attention to something that they should not have drawn attention to. They tipped the scales over.
Each step is supposed to be just one step but sometimes they become inpatient, that is where we are today. Liberalism can see it's dream forming before it's eyes, but that has made a lot of people sit up and take notice. Because now that they can see their dream coming into view, they are not happy to take just one step at a time. Patience, that great weapon of theirs is running out. They want the future to be now, they want to start sprinting, to run until their chest feels like it's on fire. But people notice that and they react to it and against it. When they were patient they made people feel like it was natural, but that illusion is gone once they start running.
The media has overplayed it's hand, it is hard today to think that once they were respected. Although they were never respectable. But once people accepted that they tried to be honest and fair, sometimes they failed but so does everybody. Today that view is seen, correctly, as naive.
We need to understand how Liberalism and the wider Left operate, it's all in plain sight but so often we don't see it. We continue to fall for their lies, for their campaigns. We need to do better and we can.

Liberalism is filled with lies, half-truths and misdirection's. It is one of the things that alerted me and made me turn away from it. But most people like lies, some even love lies, it hides the hurtful reality. But we on the Right tend to despise lies, it is not because we are too good to lie, or that we are incapable of lying. It is because we understand that fundamentally lies are bad things, even when they give us comfort.
Our enemies do not accept that lies are bad, instead they accept that lies are fundamentally good. That achieving objectives is more important than truth. Truth might make people think about what they really represent. So why don't we just do as they do and lie?
Because we simply aren't very good at it, instead we are blunt, we tell people what we want. Too often we tell people when we are angry. Our capacity for lying is quite substandard.
Life hurts and it never stops hurting, people want some respite from that hurt. If that comes in the form of lies then why not accept the lies? Most people accept them, they accept them because it makes them feel good about themselves, about others, it takes away bad thoughts, it protects them or at least they feel protected. It is no surprise to me that the idea of the Red Pill was accepted by the Right, it fits right into our line of thinking. The truth no matter how unpleasant is still the truth. If you have taken the Red Pill then you know how much it hurts to have lies taken away from you. To see the ugly truth is quite confronting and most people want to be protected from that. They do not want to see or experience it, but they do. While you can hide from truth, some will always find you.
Liberalism is based upon lies, that people are equal, that everyone can be rich, that Democracy represents us, that we are in charge. It does what lies do, they flatter us, they deceive us and they misdirect us. They make us look at the things that they want us to see and away from the things that they don't want us to see. Most of the time it works and sometimes it does not. But like any seasoned liar they keep a straight face, they concoct a series of lies to confuse you and they keep repeating the lie.

Until everyone just forgets that it's a lie and if you deny that their lies are truth, then they announce that you are the problem.
The lies are what made me notice them and reject them and their half-truths. Unfortunately I see other lies that I also reject and not from the other side. I see far to many people accepting the lie that the holocaust never happened. I see far to many people accepting the lie that conspiracy is everywhere. How do I know that these things are lies?
Four reasons:
1) If someone has to change the definition of words or events to win it's a lie
2) If someone has to change or ignore history to win then it's a lie
3) If someone changes the subject instead of providing an answer then it's a lie
4) Absolutism, if there is no other explanation allowed then it's a lie
We should reject lies, that is where our strength lies (ironically!). Personally I did not reject one set of lies to accept another. The red pill is correct, look at the truth and accept the truth, do not replace it with other lies. If you need to lie to win are you really on our side?

A below average month in which I have found it hard to write, the lack of stimulation because of the lockdown has had an affect upon me. Today I went for a walk, the first time I have been past my letterbox in two months. Although I have felt the creative juices flowing in the past week or so. I just need to be more discipline and actually write. I keep finding things that I don't like about the new format, last weekend I wrote two articles in one day, I don't normally do that. But I didn't publish the second article until Tuesday. In the old format it would say that the article had been published on Tuesday, but now it states the date it was published is Sunday, the day it was written. Annoying!
My best day in the past month was the 20th of September when I had 240 visitors, my worst day was the 24th of September when I had a very low 57. In September I had a total of 3,314 visitors, this month I have had 950 visitors.
I have decided to include the information that the new format gives me, which is not always the information that I have provided in the past. My visitors by country over the past 30 days:
1. 1,350 United States
2. 670 Australia
3. 192 Russia
4. 116 U.A.E.
5. 111 U.K.
6. 108 Germany
7. 101 New Zealand
8. 56 Philippines
9. 49 Netherlands
10. 37 India
11. 35 Canada
12. 32 Belgium
13. 22 France
14. 21 Ireland
15. 20 Nepal
16. 18 Indonesia
17. 17 Malaysia
18. 13 Cambodia
19. 13 Peru
20. 224 Other (which means visitors from every other country not already listed)
I hope to see you again soon.

Many people, maybe most people, certainly our governments have been living during 2020 in a bubble of unreality. All due to their reaction to Covid-19. It is not the disease that is unreal, it exists, it has been the reaction that has been unreal. When the disease was confined to China we heard and saw footage of quite outrageous goings on. People dropping dead in the street, people being locked into their dwelling, police forcing people back into their own buildings, streets being fumigated. Many people saw this and panicked, even though these things are now a distant memory, they are still panicking.
What should be obvious is that most of that footage was fake, no where else in the world have people dropped dead on the street. But people still keep pushing this idea, acting in word and deed as if any minute the disease will act in this way, even though we now have 9 months of experience to know for ourselves that this isn't happening. Instead we are told by the government that we must have perfect safety and many people push this line of thinking as well.
The reality is that people are not immortal, it is neither unnatural or abnormal for people to die. We all must die, every single one of us. But we are instead told that life is precious and that if even one life is saved then it has all been worth it. Those most at risk of death are the elderly and those who are already sick, particularly those who have more than one major medical condition at the same time. That's not new, that is how it is everyday. But it's as if we are hearing this for the first time. As if this was not universally true a year ago.
We are told that everything must be done to stop the spread of this disease, it is that serious. But is it that serious?
Consider this, the person most likely to get Covid-19 in Australia is a women in her 20's, the person most likely to die from Covid-19 is a women in her 80's. Yet our governments are treating both women as if they are the same, as if they are interchangeable, as if they are equal. Equality means that you cannot treat different people in different circumstances differently. So instead we are all treated as if we are elderly and have multiple medical conditions.
We are constantly and breathlessly told how many people have the disease, as if having the disease is the same thing as dying from it. This lie has been continuous for the past 9 months. Every other disease has vanished from public discourse. It is as if Covid-19 is the single greatest threat to mankind ever, which simply is not true.
This year around 57,000,000 people are expected to die from all causes, so far 1,000,000 of those deaths are people who have died with Covid-19. Not from Covid-19, because nearly every person who has died with it was elderly or had multiple medical conditions, or both.
The response to the disease has been extreme, entire economies shut down. Economists have been asked what happens when you shut down the world economy? They have answered that no one knows because in the entire history of the world no one had considered that this was even possible.
The Australian government has said that we are doing well, unemployment is around 6%, but most who look at the problem say a much more realistic answer is 15%. Although others point out that somewhere between 5 and 6 million Australians are currently on Jobkeeper, a $1500 a fortnight payment introduced in 2020 to keep people employed if the business that they work for has dropped in revenue by 50% or more. If those people are included then Australia's unemployment is somewhere between 45-55%!
Between now, October 2020 and March 2021, the extra payments of Jobseeker and Jobkeeper are going to be wound back. During that time we will all get to find out how costly this has all been.
The social cost is enormous, personally I have not gone out of my driveway in over 2 months. Apparently that level of social disengagement is considered healthy now. The truth is that I'm nothing special, I read yesterday of a dementia patient in a Victorian nursing home who had not been outside or had a shower in 45 days, because the nursing home is in lockdown!
The effect on children has been just as extreme, for months they were not allowed to play in public parks, children who's only contact with family, friends and schooling is via the internet or telephone. No hugging, no meeting new friends, no new experiences, encouraged at every stage to be scared of normal human interaction. Even your own family are spreaders of disease and death...even though young people are nearly immune from dying. The youngest person I know of that has died from Covid-19 was a 17 year old girl from Florida who had a compromised immune system. Maybe she isn't the youngest, but the younger you are the better off you are.
Even at this late stage I still hear people and the government spreading the most outrageous fear. That horse has bolted, this is not the Black Death or the Spanish Flu, it's not even that deadly. What it is is a panic, something that has been true right from the start.
