The Art Of Warrior Patriotism
Patriots and activists…
Look around, watch the news, read your emails and texts, and take in the information overload only to step back with a deep breath. It’s not hard to see there are far too many cause and issue battle fronts that are overwhelming. The patriot does not know where best to aim the canons of liberty, so he aims not and when s/he fires, s/he misses all targets.
Pat Buchanan’s “Suicide of a Superpower” touches on a few of the aspects taking our country down and gives us all insight as to why.
If ever released publicly, the “America Threat Study” will ensure each American never sleeps again (it just documents too many facts about the enemies inside our gates and deadly threats we face—several still largely unknown but to a handful of Americans).
What it all means to the American patriot and activist is this… you need to realize you are on “dead ground”, a term coined by the great Chinese war strategist Sun Tzu.
“Dead ground” is a position on the battlefield where you are facing overwhelming forces—defeat and death are certain. Sun Tzu deliberately placed his warriors on “dead ground” in key battles because he knew his warriors would be forced to fight like ten normal warriors—they would have to fight trying to make their last moments on Earth count—to make the enemy hurt far more than they did and thus capture their last personal victory! Sun Tzu’s “dead ground warriors” exceeded even Sun Tzu’s expectations!
And yet, because of that “dead ground” strategy revealed to his troops, Sun Tzu’s psychology forced his warriors to find what they had in them all along—willpower so great that it owned victory—his men, of equal technology to the enemy, slayed an enemy many times their numbers—the overwhelming force was repelled and his warriors became the most feared of all the lands.
In today’s patriot terms, the moral of the story instructs us to pick our “dead ground” cause in America—to select the most important issue to us personally—the one that impassions us beyond all others. We must realize we have engaged in a lost cause and that we are, in fact, already defeated–and therein we will be set free from our own fear of failure—our personal will power will be fully unleashed. The warrior patriot says “I can” because s/he also knows clearly, “I have nothing to lose–I have already lost so I will try to evoke a miracle instead”.
The warrior patriot does not divide his or her strength by taking up many battles, but instead finds victory in choosing one battle where s/he can focus “The All Of Might”! One sword in hand, one slice of dead ground upon which to stand, many enemies asking to be slain in trying to take away your last breath on “dead ground”. That is where you will find your All, and therein you will realize your Might-”The All of Might”.
Will brings Focus, which ensures Strategy that Executes toward Win. That is the warrior patriots only path to victory from the position of “dead ground”.
If the patriot warrior fights like they are on “dead ground” for a single cause, they will be given a rare and remarkable gift—a gift they earned—upon the slaying of the dragon’s head and in that rare moment of victory, the warrior patriot will blossom their awareness in new ways to know in their heart of hearts what others cannot know until they, too, challenge the fires of Will and Heart on “dead ground”—the warrior patriot will know all is not lost and that they really are far Mightier than they had ever dreamed!
And then your enemies will truly fear you!
All American activists or patriot warriors are required to read “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu because the wisdom in it is transcendental and speaks to any who might truly listen. Politics is war so learn the Art of War well if you want to win.
