of course in an obscured method nobody would divine a current day general in 1992 wrote about the coup of 2012 http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/jel/research_pubs/p087.pdf
Coincidence <raised eyebrow> I think not....
with gravel... :D
meeting at a point none could foresee; but in which all have some interest. How's that for an inscrutable statement.
Comes about from having downloaded two articles by Charles J. Dunlap, Jr., within the hour: Sam's link and a non-scifi piece, Law and Military Interventions (2001), which deals with Lawfare.
How I got to Lawfare came from reading Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, Unrestricted Warfare (1999) - about 1/2 way through - which has a brief discussion of Lawfare. Briefly, Lawfare is the use of I Law to weaken the position of a stronger opponent (negative use vs the US), or to strengthen an already strong position (positive use if employed by the US, which has not done well at it).
Use of Lawfare vs the US (and its Western allies) is not really new. The 1959 JAG Treatise on irregular combatants predicted its use (pp.5-6):
Not a bad crystal ball for 1959 - and a concept equally applicable to Islamic violent actors where the Western regular war laws are ignored.Quote:
Finally, any estimate of the use of irregulars in the future must consider two key tenets of Communism; the inevitability of class warfare, and the command to turn ordinary wars into class wars. Irregular combatants are the means by which a class war is begun and carried out. A Russian publicist has advanced a theory of the legality of irregular warfare based upon a just-unjust war dichotomy, which is partly based upon Marxian theory. The theory seems peculiarly suited to application in class warfare. Therefore, in the future large numbers of irregular combatants may oppose conventional armies. If so, the problem of the legal status of the irregular combatant will be posed in a more acute form than heretofore.
In fact, adoption of 1977 Additional Protocal I to the GCs seems the earliest example of Lawfare at its highest level. See Rex A. Childers, THE RATIONALITY OF NONCONFORMITY: THE UNITED STATES DECISION TO REFUSE RATIFICATION OF PROTOCOL I ADDITIONAL TO THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS OF 1949 (2008), which discusses this example of Lawfare from the standpoint of national strategies.
Things on this board seem to come around to Small Wars regardless of where they start. Now, on to reading the Dunlop articles & finishing the Chinese piece, which is more up Sam's alley - but also is generally of interest to the question of how much will war be "civilianized" in the future.
Unrestricted Warfare is really interesting. The authors I believe were at Infowarcon earlier this year. I read it a couple years back for the first time and was mystified that nobody else had seemed to read it. Talk about the end of the world as we know it.
I have to say though I don't agree with Gen. Dunlap, though I have attempted to persuade him to my views, and found my arguments not swaying him. I like the guy. In my two discussions with him he was personable intelligent and wholly wrong. But, I liked the guy. And, yes he reads Small Wars Council/Journal I asked him last time we spoke.
By August I should have built up enough evidence to persuade anybody to the end of the world via little tiny bits and bytes. How do eat an elephant? 64 bits at a time.....
Watch this.

Unrestricted Warfare is close to General Deptula's idea of EBO.:eek:
those two gals could be weaponized to achieve the ultimate ends of unrestricted warfare.
Only dial up at home, so I had to wait until today to enjoy the youtubes.
jmm99, wait until you see the ones about magic!!! Marct will have a field day with those:)
your magic girls; but, if they are black magic girls, they have to beat my personal favorite from the 1980s in that genre, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark - less well known as Cassandra Peterson, who has aged OK - 57 in this 2005 shot (attached).
Looked better in her 1970s photo shoots for such as Playgirl; but then she was 30 years younger and so was I. The 70s shots are online (you can do the searching); maybe Stan has them archived. :D
Cassandra also added to American jurisprudence with her largely successful defense in Nurmi v. Peterson, the case in which Maila Nurmi ("Vampira") sued Cassandra, for copyright infringement: District Court, C.D. California, Nurmi v. Peterson, No. CV 88-5436-WMB, Decided March 31, 1989.

Masonic conspiracies? Clearly the illumanati are behind everything and are bent on destroying Islam.
Absolutely correct.Quote:
Illuminates the schism within the Muslim faith.
And the topic of Masonry is completely absurd. I am a Mason, separate and apart from being a Christian of the Protestant persuasion. Masonry is not a religion but a good works society. Examples: There exist today several Masonic funded burn hospitals in the USA. Childrens orphanages. Free Masonic nursing home for the elderly survivors of past members of the Masonic Order. In Tennessee the Masonic Grand Lodge of all of Tennessee is jointly funding together with Habitat for Humanity construction of homes for the poor. Nothing there about a "New World Order." That topic comes under the subheading "Attempts using violence to recreate a Caliphate."
Religious groups likewise do similar good works as a spin off of their faiths. But Masonry is not a religion. Nor are the Taliban and al Qaida a religion, but they "pretend" to be one. The terrorists are heretics to the true spirit and name of Islam, which means peace.
Well this particular guy seems to be an Islamist, probably Iranian. I still think, if this guy's view is representative of Shia Muslims, that it betrays gross ignorance. Not the harmless kind.
Uh, what makes you think that site is particularly representative of Shia Islam?
Most prominent Shia ayatollahs have websites, you know. Here's Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani's.
Here's a prominent Shia Islamist's.
Here's some major Shia reformists.
I didn't mean the site in general just the guy they asked in their "Ask a Shia" series of posts. Also I am not saying it is representative just that it would be disturbing if it were.

:D
Within the Catholic Church, you have a multitude of opinions and interpretations, despite having (doctrinally) a single, definative authority; the Pope.
Even limiting the discussion to Shi'a, there is no definative authority, and the culture appears to value divisive and contrarian behavior. Any site claiming Shi'a religious authority doesn't impress me much, anymore.

I heard Detective Munch on Bill Maher argue the Federal Reserve killed JFK.
Speaking of Federal Reserve assassination conspiracy theories, here’s the next chapter:
Mark Pittman, 52; reporter who foresaw subprime crisis, by Bob Ivry. Bloomberg News, November 28, 2009.
Quote:
Mr. Pittman’s fight to make the Fed more accountable resulted in an Aug. 24 victory in Manhattan Federal Court affirming the public’s right to know about the central bank’s more than $2 trillion in loans to financial firms. Mr. Pittman drew the attention of filmmakers Andrew and Leslie Cockburn, who gave him a prominent role in their documentary about subprime mortgages, “American Casino,’’ which was shown at New York City’s Tribeca Film Festival in May.
“Who sues the Fed? One reporter on the planet,’’ said Emma Moody, a Wall Street Journal editor who worked with Pittman at Bloomberg.

Being rather fond of the old Bren gun, I'm pleased to see that the monkeys will be using them.
However, I'm not sure how they'll compete with the man-eating badgers that the modern British Army is known to deploy in COIN operations.
I heard the British SAS had recruited Hornswoggle MacMann for the job.

Here it is folks an 8 part series from 1968 on the Grand Design for a World Government. I saw this at a Hunting club back when I was in my teens...now it's on Utube. Most of what is on this thread is funny stuff but this is very serious. As I said this is from 1968 and take a look at how much has come to pass.

Slap,
You got me, I confess. It had been a hard day at the office, there was this VDU and phone. Called Lord James up and he took the bait.:D
Now back to reality. There are many things happening in the UK that have evaded full media coverage as we ponder 2011 and I just think Lord James has taken as genuine an offer of mega-bucks or pounds by people who prefer standing in the shade. Odd. Perfect "smoke" IMHO.:wry:
Best of all my jurisdiction excludes within "the Met", i.e. London and somehow I doubt "the Met" will even listen, let alone investigate. ;)
Meet the future King George VII.
Don't worry, his people probably have a genetic link to the House of Hapsburg that'll make it all nice and Kosher.
It is that time of year again another anniversary of one of Americas most dreadful events. Link to JFK assassination material of a different kind. Lancer was the code name the Secret Service used for JFK.

So what is everyones opinion on this, was it or wasn't it a conspiracy.
