Peter viewing posts up here lately my mind was wasted reading them. You guys are like lemmings lapping up any and all things anti-Trump wishing, hoping praying he will resign. Yeah right it aint going to happen. We no longer have a free press. I don't think there is just fake news but rather a false narrative that the press sets forth daily and then drives it any way they can. Mostly they do it with innuendo and of course racism accusations.
But here are the 13 rules:
1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you
have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and
people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It
results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the
backbone of anyone.
3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the
enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and
uncertainty.
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the
rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can
kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own
rules.
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no
defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as
a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll
keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re
doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
Don’t become old news.
8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new
things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one
approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing
itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences
than any activist.
10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations
that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition." It is
this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the
opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and
become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the
public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive
alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because
you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize
it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from
sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than
institutions.
These are in play every day and I must say effective.
