5GW requires an especially cool head

secret ballot question answered

Dear Friends,

It stands to reason that warfare, in general, is based on deception:

If conventional warfare is based on deception, then 5th Generation Warfare (narrative warfare) is exceedingly so, in part because the lines are not clearly drawn, because some people have yet to discern the issue/s, and/or because some people have yet to decide which side they are on. Also, people can decide to change sides.

It is a major part of 5GW to win hearts and minds, while at the same time exposing, tearing down, weakening and defeating the enemy.

5GW is as much about ideas as it is about people.

5GW is more dynamic than conventional warfare.

5GW is very complex.

5GW isn’t won with guns, although they may be used in the course of self-defense. 5GW is won in the Court of Public Opinion.

5GW changes people, some for better and some for worse.

And for that reason, I refuse to be too quick to judge. I don’t know anyone, except Christ, who hasn’t changed their mind about someone or something at some point.

Just because we don’t think someone is on our side, doesn’t mean they aren’t.

I’ll borrow from one of the Gospels to make the point:

“Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part.” (Mar 9:38-40)

The apostles, the rich man’s younger son, the man on the cross, the stranger above who worked miracles in Jesus’ name, all of them “most likely” had sins in their past.

If people are talking about taking down the deep state and/or helping to secure transparent and verifiably accurate elections in some way, I consider them a friend until proven otherwise. Their past notwithstanding.

Anyone taking donations is doing so at the Consent of the giver.

It seems to me that some “arrows” might be better aimed elsewhere.

My friend Mark Cook answered the secret ballot question for me:

If voter registration happens in person, if voting happens in person, and if the votes are counted in public when the polls close, secret ballots can be retained without creating a risk of fraud. It isn’t the secret ballot that causes the fraud. It is every other change that was made [to the “election” process].

Some people are proud and unafraid to share who they vote for. Others may be afraid for anyone to know for fear of being treated differently. Ballot secrecy must be preserved, and can safely be, if we do the above. - Mark Cook

Thanks, Mark.

That’s it.

God bless and have a great rest of your weekend.
