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.
