Negotiating with the Collective

“Yes, John, there is no negotiating with the collective.” It actually works this way: If your outcome is congruous with the collective, you “win.” If it is not, you “lose.” The collective never “loses” because it has an enormous momentum of will. Anyone who has argued with some minor bureaucrat in some trivial portion of the collective will notice that there is no argument. The response to your attempt to change the collective mind is: “we have rules we have to live by.”  It is like pounding on a giant punching bag, or, as an old saying says: “like packing sand into a rat hole.”

 

But, I have observed something taking place in our “Democracy” that is incredibly important and readily validated in nature, much less the realm of human behavior: ‘You are not obligated to negotiate with the collective.’ Have you ever noticed that when an army of ants comes up to a rock, it goes around it? Have you noticed that a large group of crocodiles ignore a full-grown beast like an elephant or hippo?

 

Let me relate to you an assertion that was presented to the public about four decades ago. I apologize for not being able to produce the document, but who’d have known it would be so important to this essay I am now cobbling together?

Forty years ago we were becoming increasingly involved in the Viet Nam conflict. The Rand Corporation “think tank” produced an approach they claimed would terminate the conflict. It goes something like this:

 

There is a way to win the conflict in Viet Nam in less than a week. It involves an understanding of the thinking and behavior of the people with whom we are trying to deal. They do NOT respond to the kind of force to which we are accustomed.  Here is how you accomplish a unilateral cessation of conflict:

1)     Fly over Hanoi and drop leaflets saying, “noon, two days from now, we are going to drop a small nuclear weapon on so-and-so village if you do not stop this conflict in the next 24 hours.”

2)     They will not stop the conflict.

3)     You fly over so-and-so village and detonate the small nuclear weapon on the village.

4)     The next day you fly over Hanoi and drop leaflets saying, “ two days hence, at noon, we are going to drop a large nuclear weapon on Hanoi if you do not stop this conflict within the next 24 hours.”

They will stop the conflict. That is how they think.

 

How could this author or a group come to such a conclusion? Simple: 1) Hiroshima.

2) Nagasaki.

 

You see, dear reader, General Douglass MacArthur was also aware of that. When we hesitated at the Yalu River in Korea, we were negotiating with the collective. That will not work.  MacArthur knew that only when the collective perceives that this is an unmovable, dangerous object, will it terminate the “confrontation.” Suddenly the Korean conflict became a “police action.” Had McArthur prevailed, and not our socialist President Truman and his collective, we would have eliminated the confrontation and had our way.

 

I KNOW that this same process is working in our nation as we speak. I give you the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. At first, it was a “vigilante” activity. The collective, like a great beehive, was aghast at the Project.  They thundered: “illegal activity.” The media (A.K.A. voice of the collective) was constantly screaming and assaulting the Project. But, the Minutemen did NOT hesitate. They went ahead and prosecuted their plan along our borders.

 

The collective pulled back!!! “Border Guards Removed,” shouted the media. You all know the cacophony that resulted, but the collective pulled back. The collective also let the Minutemen proceed. Even to this day, where the antagonists attempt to intimidate the Minutemen over in Campos California, the Law Enforcement Agencies (confrontational arm of the collective) will not get involved!!! The collective has stopped exactly like RAND CORPORATION prognosticated some 4 decades past.

 

So what am I saying? We have before us a shining example, and I assert the LAST example, of how to end this mess and get our Grand Republic back. It is called, as I have THUNDERED now for 10 years: “CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.” But, BUT, this Civil Disobedience must be done systematically with a warning preceding it.

 

When Feinstein and Schwarzenneger ban 50 caliber rifles, we write them a letter, en masse’, and inform them we are going to keep our 50 caliber rifles, we are not going to register them, and we are going to shoot them under proper conditions. Do you really think they would come to the range and try to stop 20 or 30 people from shooting their 50 caliber rifles? I could give you many more examples, but you see the point (I hope).

 

A LONG time ago, Winston Churchill made an observation about the behavior of men and their reaction to something that was self-evident. We’ve all seen this quotation, but rarely has it been as eminently important as in this matter: “Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.

 

God forgive us if we let this self-evident proof of the behavior of the collective in face of the Minuteman effort slip into the darkness as we sink further and further into the collective.

 

I repeat: There is no negotiating with a collective. You are assimilated, or you lose. You’ve heard the metaphor: “They win or we lose.”

 

The Founding Fathers knew we should be an immovable object in the midst of a world of socialism. That is why they warned us to never become involved in foreign entanglements, and to slap down anyone who came across the seas with evil intentions: http://www.inlibertyandfreedom.com/wilson.htm

 

If you are willing to confront the collective en masse’ it is time for you to get YOUR organization together, as we have at the NCA, and WARN governments at all levels that “we exist, and will NOT tolerate, nor obey  _____________________ Law” (you fill in the blank). It is time to copy the Minuteman Project!!

 

Then it is time to restore the Grand Republic and stay out of foreign entanglements.
