On Esteeming Too Lightly - Or Not


(To go with my blog appreciating the Dark Forces for making a good fight of it, and thus helping to separate the wheat from the chaff)

from nomorefakenews.com: ‘COVID: the Chinese regime, Sun Tzu and the art of war’ - Jon Rappoport - July 3 (quote marks just at the beginning and the end):

By “humbly acceding” to the authority and desire of the CDC and WHO—who always say they’ve found ‘a new deadly virus’—the Chinese government has helped engineer, in the freest and craziest and most powerful nation in the world, the USA, a massive lockdown similar to the one now ending in China.

Who does all this remind you of? It reminds me of the ancient Chinese general and philosopher, Sun Tzu (6th century BC), who wrote the erudite and wildly popular treatise, The Art of War.

Here is a sprinkling of Sun Tzu observations and advices. Read carefully.

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive…”

“If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.”

“Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.”

“Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.”

“If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him.”

“To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.”

“…move swiftly where he [the enemy] does not expect you.”

“Speed is the essence of war. Take advantage of the enemy’s unpreparedness; travel by unexpected routes and strike him where he has taken no precautions.”

—Getting the picture? Any bells ringing?”

(Jon wrote this article originally in April.  An Addendum here:)

“CODA, June 27. Over the past few months, we’ve witnessed Western imitations of China—in the form of behavior control. Attitude control. Among these imitations:

The shuttering of houses of worship.

People in the West are told to load outrageous contact tracing apps on their cell phones, and cooperate with spying against themselves.

The infamous Chinese social credit score system (ironclad behavior control) is mirrored by the tyrannical notion of “immunity certificates,” which, if approved, would need to be presented by US citizens in order to travel, enter office buildings, schools, etc.  [My emphasis.]

The forced premature deaths of the elderly, under the cover of “demise by COVID,” is a straight-out exercise in population control, a device the Chinese government has deployed on its own population.

These are not accidents.

They are purposeful transformations.

At the root of it is the plan to raise up armies of citizens who are more than glad to sacrifice what is left of their own minds to a “Higher Altruistic Ideal.”

Thomas Paine, December, 1776: “THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”

Governments in Beijing and Washington and London might laugh in the face of these words. But they are uneasy. Because they know there is a power in the human soul they cannot understand…”
