  • The Secret of European Civilization

    Dec 31, 2019, 2:49 PM The Secret of European Civilization is our common, Natural Law of tort under individual sovereignty, reciprocity, contract, warranty, testimony (truth regardless of face), before judge and jury of our peers, creating no option for survival other than competition in markets in all walks of life: association, cooperation, production, reproduction, commons, polities, and war, at the cost of limiting reproduction of the underclasses such that surpluses can be directed to the production of high cost, and high return, normative, cultural, institutional, and physical commons. This is the optimum strategy for defeat of Nature’s Red Queen, Group Competition, and achieves the most rapid transcendence of man, maintaining the optimum condition of man, by institutionalizing the development of agency: human capital. And no other people has, or demonstrably can, or even desires, to do it.

  • Western Strategy

    Jan 3, 2020, 10:11 AM (core) Sovereignty: Sovereignty in exchange for reciprocity. Via Negativa: limit display word and deed to the reciprocal Via Positiva: reciprocal insurance of other’s sovereignty Mindfulness (Harmony): Professional military aristocracy, a Militia of every able bodied man, creates full time military: All men in military earn respect and are given respect for doing their duty; all duty is necessary and valuable for the success of the group in a high risk venture; rank is by demonstrated ability and merit (although often of families), leadership (captains, generals, kings) are chosen by the men who choose who to follow. In other words, every man gets a share of honor, and buys the franchise. This is the source of western harmony, and it is the strongest source of harmony available to man. (And is different from all other peoples). Social Harmony: Corporatism, or, rather, the ability to create high trust commons, and to specialize in an activity on behalf of the village or town. Westerners didn’t need to invent the corporation – we practiced it as our default social order. Advantage: Continuous rapid maneuver, innovation, adaptation, of the entire polity; the suppression of the reproduction of the underclasses. Weakness: Rally Together Only Under Threat. Vulnerability: Extremely vulnerable to soft threats (immigration, conversion, undermining, commercial overextension consuming commons, military overextension under martial entrepreneurship. ie: too tolerant). Result: Excellent in military matters but weak in defense against religious cultural and informational harms. The south was more affected by the church. The center was more a balance of aristocracy and church. The North was more affected by aristocracy. This is why corruption increases as we move from north to south.

  • Trump’s New Space Force Would Enhance Israel and The Future United States Militarily

    Jan 6, 2020, 3:33 PM With Trump’s new Space Force, comes Jerusalem’s ( or Tel Aviv, if you like ) comparative military advantage in the Middle East. Now under the Air Force Secretary, when the United States Space Force evolve into a fully fledged arm of the United States military, you can expect that it’s secured communication, observatory, and global positioning capabilities would be leveraged by Israel for its regional and international pursuits. Contemporary and future wars are no longer about soldier numbers and or volumes. Iran’s Qassem Soleimani demonstrated this with his assymetrical success in:

    1. Yemen against Saudi Arabia, using the Houthis
    2. Syria against ISIS and other sunni militia

    3. Iraq by way of multiple shia paramilitia

    4. Lebanon and Gaza against the Lebanese regime and Israel respectively

    The world’s labelled terror organizations demonstrated this also. Israel demonsrated this against the Iranian quest to a quicker nuclear break out capability when it unleashed stuxnet with United States co-operation against Iranian centrifuges. The United States demonstrated this with the Obama era drone assassination program, then inherited by Trump and which executed Soleimani this January. Evidently, to cripple civilisations in our days require not soldiers numbers per se but skilled, capable, committed operatives. Targeting the GETRR:

    1. Gas
    2. Electrical grid
    3. Telecommunication infrastructure
    4. Roads
    5. Railway

    D day sabotage in assymetrical offensives, are victory – clinching just as the first successful nuclear impact may determine the eventual winner in an all out war. Military superiority in space allow for defense and so deterrence while providing the means for pre emptive offense that may prevent actual wars. Trump’s Space Force would thus enhance US – Israeli military superiority in the long term except the constitution of the United States national security establisment as it stand today, is restructured to new objectives overall.

  • Perceptions of Possibility and Probability Are Always Determined by Knowledge

    Jan 7, 2020, 10:23 AM One’s perspective on the chances of separation are determined by (a) knowledge of military history, strategy, and end of Westphalian and restoration of traditional conflict (4gw). (b) knowledge of the fragility of the USA, and its cities, how rapidly it will collapse, and how it can be exploited, ( c) knowledge of a compromise solution that will minimize resistance. If you have a history of life achievement and know these things, it’s just ‘work’: another project that needs doing. it’s not a problem of knowing what to do. This isn’t a time for democratic majoritarianism. it’s a time for a minority to force ultimatums.

  • Strategic Explanation

    —“Curt, please explain the chart. ty.”—bagofcells

    Outline Map: ..Black = major oil fields ..Red= Iran’s sphere of influence (conquest) ..Green=those who want to contain iran. ..Blue= India and Russia (partnership) ..Yellow = China (power hungry) Yellow-Red Map: … black dots = oil. Green Map: … Population and Muslim Factions ANALYSIS

    1. Core states rule civilizations.
    2. ~500M population necessary for core state.
    3. $1T+ necessary for core state finance of military.
    4. Petro-Currency+Reserve Currency needed to finance military needed for Great Power status.
    5. Iran can take entire gulf oil supply by Kuwait and Saudis and already have people in the area.
    6. Together Iran can achieve both core state of islamic civilization and dominate the region, and obtain Great Power status and heavily influence world affairs.

    World cannot tolerate fundamentalist islamic expansionary, militant nuclear iran with control over world oil reserve,and energy prices. Iran is not USA/UK trying to spread rule of law, human rights, science, medicine, tech, commercial prosperity. 10x as bad as China as enemy. Instead, decimate Iranian military capacity, and economy, pull in competing middle eastern states, and let islamic civilization slowly modernize over generations, and USA can leave. Otherwise another world war and 100’s of millions dead. This is how grownups see the world.


    —“Yeah I will buy this read. Another way to look at it is that it would be irresponsible of the major powers to let radicals who got rich by luck (sitting on oil) have a de facto veto over all world political decisions via nuclear weapons. The ME states never had to fully mature or develop responsible and functional institutions.”—Michael Churchill
