Certain Uncertainties Exist

...Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature has placed in our power.  Three millions of people armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us.  Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone.  There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.  The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.  Besides, sir, we have no election.  If we were base enough to desire it, is now too late to retire from the contest.  There is no retreat but in submission and slavery!  Our chains are forged!  Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston!  The war is inevitable -- and let it come!  I repeat, sir, let it come!

It is vain, sir, to extenuate the matter.  Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace -- but there is no peace.  The war is actually begun!  The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms!   Our brethren are already in the field!  Why stand we here idle?  What is it that gentlemen wish?  What would they have?  Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God!  I know not what course others may take;  but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

Technology...  Political Objectives...  Economic Goals...   Ethnic Dynamics...  Tactics...  and Strategies... change  ---  therefore the mode of war changes over time.

World War I was the transition from large scale infantry forces to mechanization of mobilized large scale forces.  That is why it was stalemated for years while both sides began to understand the new model of war.

The Gulf War was the model's transition from massive mechanized mobile forces to small scale forces controlling mobilized automated weaponry.

Today's model requires asymmetric analysis and foresight integrated into ongoing massive traditional intelligence, used in conjunction with complex technologies carried to multiple fronts by small scale forces without regard for national boundaries.

The post-September 11 world contains a model for a version of World War III:  The civilized versus the uncivilized.  The uncivilized are represented by today's barbaric terrorist forces who believe they have nothing to lose and death will take them where they want to go.  Terrorism must be stopped before it becomes empowered and escalates this confrontation into WWIII.

Years ago Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge established an alert system intended to convey more specific meanings and guidance to people regarding terrorism alerts.  The system uses five colors:  the lowest status warning is green, followed by blue, yellow, orange with red indicating that perceived dangers are intense.

Later Ridge said the multistage alert system will provide "a common vocabulary" of danger to help communities respond to threats.

We ask, "Why colors?"  There is no logical or instinctive progression directly relating a given danger level to a given color.  Yes, red is intuitively 'most severe' but why would Ridge expect people to memorize and then, while under stress, to instinctively calculate, comprehend and act according to the specific color code?

This is color system is a formula for confusion!

We ask Homeland Security to consider people's minds and the daily lives of hundreds of millions of Americans of all ages and educational levels.  A warning and alert scheme should not add to their stress by requiring them to comprehend a subjective color scheme in order to understand how dangerous each day is.  This system implicitly forces people away from paying any attention to warnings.  People tend to shy away from confusion.   Accordingly, they will disregard warnings.

We say, "Use numbers."  Simple...   Most everyone can count.  Use five (5) levels.  Level 5 is the least severe.  Level 1 indicates perceived dangers are intense.

And omit 'yellow.'  Most people are not ever yellow!

MARK1

Since September 11 we have witnessed the placement of concrete barricades stationed around and inside high rise buildings.  Police are now observed walking aimlessly and parked on urban streets as never before.  High rise buildings have moved some of their security people to more visible positions and hired new security staff to monitor access of cars, trucks and individuals in and around their structures.

The concrete barricades (approximately 10' long, 2' thick, 3' high) will not stop, and will barely slow, a terrorist who is bent upon driving a truck bomb into one of these high rise buildings.  These concrete barricades only give a false sense of security.  The new security personnel are not qualified, not mentally acute nor psychologically trained.  They are unprepared to guard anything.  They are able only to slow access, superficially demonstrate to the general populace a false sense of security.  Surely this so-called 'security staff' only gives potential terrorists a sick laugh as they plot and plan their attacks.  The police, who have for years been lax and demonstrated their inability to prevent red light violators and thieves look even more lost sitting in their parked cars waiting for they know not what other than the end of their shifts.

We need to understand that the world changed on September 11 forever for all of us everywhere.  The terrorists finally accomplished that change after two decades of terrorism.  Today we need to accept the new normalcy by becoming more productive within a more secure societal structure.

We need building managers and our Homeland Security Chief to immediately:

1.  Remove the concrete barricades;
2.  Hire truly security-oriented, well-trained individuals;
3.  Move the regular building security staff back to their desks to rest;

These moves will provide true security with no superficiality.

Is there a building manager or Homeland Security Chief who understands human psychology and has foresight and guts enough to implement this plan?

What endows a people with the rights and powers of national sovereignty?  Does a group of primitive tribes occupying a segment of land sandwiched between other nations automatically earn national sovereignty?  Do primitive tribes earn by default the benefits and respect afforded other established nations when they have lived throughout history as wild ruffians unable to coexist peacefully and productively with their neighbors, unable to farm and unable to build a societal structure resembling the many models set forth by Western Civilization and neighboring Asian cultures?

The civilized world was required to retaliate after September 11, 2001, against the terrorists who for decades had been pushing limits and building toward those attacks.  If the civilized world had continued to treat terrorists as spoiled, misbehaving children and only shouted back at them as it had since the end of the Gulf War, not retaliating with nearly full force, terrorist efforts would obviously have continued until they destroyed all civilized people.  After months of retaliation the civilized world has impressed upon Taliban, al Qaeda and other terrorist groups that their terrorist acts will not be accepted passively as they were in the 1990's.  These groups may now perceive that there is no gain.  They will only bring heavy force upon themselves if ever they attack civilized nations again.  However, being fanatics and therefore unable to learn from experience and logically apply lessons to adjust their behavior, they are likely to continue doing the only work they know:  Terrorism.

Today the War Against Terrorism has taught lessons directly to terrorist groups in Afghanistan and indirectly to terrorist groups across the world.   The death and pain inflicted upon terrorist groups in Afghanistan is actually only learned by those individuals who die.  The remaining fanatics are regrouping, training and planning more global attacks and the retaking of Afghanistan's territory.   The roaming tribes of primitives who are not religious fanatics are already poking around looking for weak points in the interim Afghanistan government.  These Afghani tribes are resuming what they know to do:  Waging tribal wars.  These tribal wars will continue as they have for thousands of years and should not be confused with civil wars that civilized people of many nations have and will fight over principles.

The civilized world has made as much of an impression upon the terrorists of Afghanistan as can be made.  To continue bombing, cave fighting, building and teaching will be a repetitive, unending, fruitless project.  If the Afghani people are worthy of national sovereignty and capable of being civilized and building an economy and societal structure they can start today.  They have the same tools as every nation has ever had:  Their own initiative and abilities.  If they demonstrate progress they will have more tools and assistance than many nations have had:  Financial, educational and technological aid from the civilized world.

Terrorists who are native Afghanis as well as other terrorist groups continue to migrate to several terrorist enclaves including Afghanistan.

It is time for the civilized world to accept its gains, initiate redirection of the War Against Terrorism toward the next terrorist enclave, suppress terrorism there, and then continue the cycle.  Uncivilizable terrorist elements around the world must be taught by rote that they cannot make gains by attacking civilization.  If they do not join the civilized world and live civilized lives they must stay home and bully each other.

Dateline Whineyville, Western Civilization, 2002

There are cries of "...not being treated well enough", "...conditions must be improved", "Declare them POW's...", etc., etc.   The International Red Cross, a great organization that does much good and prevents much bad, is feeding the detainees at Camp X-Ray in Cuba milk and cookies and checking nearly daily to make sure that they are comfortable and being treated properly and appropriately.

Our question is, "Are these detainees, members of the Taliban and al Qaeda terrorist groups, being treated humanely and appropriately?"  We firmly believe that they should be treated humanely and appropriately.  The Allied coalition led by the United States has a responsibility to treat the detainees appropriately.  It is only right that the civilized world, the Allied Coalition and Western Civilization treat the detainees appropriately.  In order to estimate how the detainees may be treated we should review the record of recent wars and the manner in which the United States has treated its prisoners and its POW's.

Reports from the International Red Cross, media reporters making on-sight visits and giving first-hand reports, members of the U. S. Congress of both Democrat and Republican parties, many of whom have conflicting personal agendas, repeatedly issue reports to the world via the media including that not-so-impartial network, CNN.  All reports are consistent in their declaration of fact that conditions are comfortable, safe, reasonably secure, not oppressive and not inhumane.  Various reports state that the detainees are well fed with food meeting their native dietary requirements and more nourishing than that allotted to their marine guards.  The detainees are joined five times a day by a Muslim chaplain for prayer services.  Each detainee has double the square footage than that allotted to the marine guards' tents.  Each detainee has a supply of toilet paper (which they refuse to use.)  Each detainee has the standard military issue padded bedding.  The detainees have complete bathroom and medical facilities available with doctors and nurses standing ready to treat any injury or illness.

After hearing these reports, we must ask, "Are the detainees being treated appropriately and humanely?"  These detainees are the most dangerous of the Taliban and al Qaeda.  They are mainly individuals who left their homelands, journeyed to Afghanistan --- not to vacation or preach Islam --- but to train and plan to wage war against the civilized world in the most specious way imaginable.  And their aim is to wage war not against the military of the civilized world, but to shock, maim, kill and disrupt the lives of civilians --- civilians including women, children and men of many nationalities are on their lists.

Are the detainees being treated appropriately?  Humanely?  ...As they would treat you if you were their prisoner?  Are detainees at Camp X-Ray being treated in a way that should set a good precedent in future conflicts where American forces may be held captive?  Of course.

It is wrong that civilized people who are so productive a force and work to advance Western Civilization are now subjected to danger and negative, distractive concerns.  It is a fact that the world changed forever on September 11 and we all have new private thoughts and concerns.

To understand our current situation we should consider Western Civilization’s development over the centuries and focus on today’s global society, culture, science and economics.  In many ways the terrorist-induced traumas and threats are going to force reevaluation of many of our institutions, their inter-relationships and functions.  We believe that intermediate and long-term results will be upgrades to most institutions of Western Civilization.

In the near-term we have valid safety concerns and question the potential for progress of Western Civilization.  It may appear that this enemy, one of the most evil forces to ever inhabit Earth’s surface, could destroy Western Civilization.  We do not believe that this primitive evil force, personified by cave dwellers, will seriously damage Western Civilization.  It will inflict more pain, sadness and alarm, but Western Civilization will prevail.  We are confident that society will look back in a few years to these events and recall extreme pain and tragedy.  But it will be apparent from that vantage point that the net result will have been progress for Western Civilization and improved lives for all who deserve to live in peace and prosperity earned through honest, hard work.

We are vulnerable because we are civilized.  We will prevail because we are decent and right.

Beware:   Facts visible only from the macro perspective impact and change the grand scheme and events in life.  Ignoring the macro perspective is to put yourself in peril.  It exists and whether or not you understand and use it to your advantage is irrelevant.  It is the force that makes for change.

November 22, 1963, marked the end of a golden age for United States' society.  This fact is valid from the 20th century perspective and also from the nation's 225 year perspective.  Specifically we address the caliber of United States' culture and the level of real education attained by the mass of its population.  Because a culture's development derives directly from its level of substantive education, U. S. culture has been increasingly more limited over the past three-plus decades.  Examples include JFK disguised in a veneer of class, Berkeley students' takeover of the school's administration building in the late 1960's, implementation over decades of affirmative action through all cultural sectors including education and employment, and our long-running obsession over the environment, and more.

The macro trend of our culture crossed the zero point and went negative on November 22, 1963.

September 11, 2001, marks the beginning of the end of the cultural decline.  The zero point has been crossed and our culture is going positive.  That means it is being cleansed.  There will be pain, forced realignments and dislocations.  Specifically, people will more often be hired based upon assessments of their true abilities to perform well....  And those assessments will be made through the use of relevant criteria to a greater degree than over recent decades.  Real education and genuine skills will be valued again.  Irrelevant factors such as race, gender, emotional perceptions, victim status, etcetera will be utilized less.  This does not mean that it won't help to know the right people.

As better equipped people rise into upper positions in all segments of our society and culture, they will follow these wiser guidelines because they understand the need for high quality work.  They understand that to suppress quality is to inhibit societal progress.  Also, they understand the need to minimize exposure to unqualified people.

One consequence of these adaptations will be changing asset valuations.  Beware of severe asset re-evaluations as they may some decades from now be classified as a part of the deflationary trend of the early 21st century.

Reflect upon it and ask yourself, "Do I think major personal assets (such as primary residences, vacation condos, etc.) and business assets (such as plant, capital equipment, real estate, etc.) will tend to decrease or increase in value over the next five years?"

The power of freedom carried in the hearts and minds of educated, peace-loving people can only be defeated when the victims make new lives by devolving into professional victims.

We are all victims.  Do we want to be remembered as victims?  Do we want to continue to cry?  Do we want to sit down and allow terrorists to tramp across our sadness?  Will we be the generations to surrender the hard won freedom and rights we inherited so easily?  Will we be the generations to surrender the intellectual gains  ---  the music, literature, science, arts, technology  ---  we work so hard to enhance?  Will we be the generations to return to cave dwelling because we could not stand up tall enough to repel, defeat and destroy those who want our generations to be victims and surrender all?

Yes, we are victims.  But we are not passive, prostrate, pathetic victims who will allow our fates to be determined by terrorist bullying.  Today we cry for our losses and the lost lives of those who have died and will die in defense of Civilization.  We may have some fear of the unknown battles yet to be waged in the War Against Terrorism but we are not quitters.  We welcome the battles that we are forced to wage.

The lights turned on in New York City shine in the face of terrorism.  They have the power to blind and destroy terrorism.  Any terrorist with eyes can see that his methods fail against people as good and freedom loving as the people of The United States of America.

Before the memorial at ground zero is erected, there will be prolonged debate amongst sincere, thinking people.  This memorial should not be a metaphorical reminder of defeat or sadness for us or future generations.  Defeat and sadness surely exist but they are not the major elements in our people.

This powerful light is a worthy memorial.  Its twin beam image can be transmitted around the world.  It is the eternal man-made flame of freedom born from the blood and minds of civilized people who died and others who remain ready to fight and die in order to preserve freedom forever.

The two major sources of money funding our enemy in the War Against Terrorism are:

1.)  Funding from so-called charity groups and other phony cover organizations.
The allies are waging the War Against Terrorism by cutting off much of this funding thereby cutting off some money inflow to terrorist organizations operating across the world.

2.)  Revenue from their sale of oil.
The major source of money inflow to middle east nations is from its sale of oil.   These nations have little else to sell globally.  They need food, medical technology and infrastructure construction.  But instead, many of them buy weaponry with oil revenue.

In order to make our waging of this war more efficient, less costly in terms of our money and time and, therefore, saving allied lives, the allies need to curtail and control money inflow to the region.

This control may be gained by implementing a policy wherein we trade their oil for our food, medical and industrial equipment and supplies, books and so on.  This would provide middle east nations with less money to purchase weaponry and support terrorists.  They would acquire the essentials for health, education and jobs instead of cash in direct proportion to the oil they export.  This policy could work to smooth the flow of oil to industrialized nations and also give those nations a mechanism whereby they could control the quantity of oil available for their import.

This policy should be implemented selectively and with a wise mind so as to not destabilize our allies in that region.

Civilized World Plan Number 1:

1. Implement The Oil For Foodstuffs, Infrastructure & Education Policy as defined above.

2. Shift as much as possible of the industrialized world's oil purchasing from OPEC to the new, U. S. led Industrialized Nations Oil Producing Coalition composed of Mexico, Canada, Britain, U. S. and other oil producing, civilized allies.

3. Shift Middle East defense resources to protecting and empowering mainly our civilized allies in the region.

The result will be that the terrorist nations and factions will be occupied killing and fighting with each other with greatly reduced revenue.  The masses may revolt in some of the Muslim countries and form new democracies.  Those democracies may then be assisted by selective aid if they demonstrate, 1.) Committment to leave other allies in the region to live and prosper freely, and 2.) Build quasi-capitalistic economies.

Judge Says Arab Can Sue United Airlines

Washington Post, October 12, 2002, LOS ANGELES –– A judge has cleared the way for a discrimination lawsuit by an Arab-American who was removed from a United Airlines flight three months after the Sept. 11 attacks.

U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper ruled that although airlines need to remove passengers who pose a security threat, that duty "does not grant them a license to discriminate."  The American Civil Liberties Union sued on behalf of Assem Bayaa, an Irvine auditor who was removed from a New York-bound United flight in Los Angeles on Dec. 23, 2001.  Bayaa said security told him he was removed because the crew wasn't comfortable having him aboard.

The lawsuit seeks an injunction barring United from discriminating against Arab-Americans.  Similar lawsuits have been filed in California, Maryland and New Jersey.  The lawsuit seeks an injunction barring United from discriminating against Arab-Americans. Similar lawsuits have been filed in California, Maryland and New Jersey.

United had argued that complying with civil rights laws might conflict with the duty of flight crews to determine whether a passenger poses a security threat.  The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, which the judge dismissed as a co-plaintiff, contends U.S. airlines have subjected Arab-Americans to a "new and disturbing pattern of discrimination" since the terror attacks.   It cited 60 alleged incidents of discrimination against Arab-American passengers in the past year.

We are engaged in a war between civilized cultures and uncivilized fanatics.  The civilized cultures are represented by the Allied coalition that is led by the United States.  The Allies are willing to end the war by negotiating a peace wherein they would go on making progress and their terrorist adversaries would be offered assistance if they stopped their decades-long aggressive killing activities.

Consider our enemy.  It consists of millions of under-educated young men who have little hope for a happy future and therefore follow self-serving demagogues.  This massive terrorist base is doggedly taught from childhood that Western Civilization is the infidel and must be destroyed.  These boys grow into young men whose objective is to leave this life and move on to the next existence which they firmly believe is better than their current existence.  To them it is a bonus if they can end the lives of infidels as they make their exits.

One way to win this war is to educate these young boys and men to become productive cooperative members of an economic system.  If educated they could see that there may be a better existence awaiting, but their Earthly existences can have value.  Each of them might achieve if he worked at a productive, non-destructive job.  But how can they be educated when they choose to ignore 2500 years of progress achieved by Western Civilization?

Another way to win this war is for us to put up internal and external barricades of all types to keep the terrorists out of civilized territories.  This "lock the doors and bar the windows" approach theoretically could allow civilized people to work and make progress without the threat of terrorism.  But a hallmark of civilization is freedom.  Ubiquitous barricades limit freedoms and our defensive barricades would become the bars of our self-imposed confinement.

If we cannot educate our enemy and we cannot effectively barricade our homelands, we are left with another option.  We could consider the option that the terrorists choose to impose upon us.  That is death.  But massive and intentional killing is by definition antithetical to our moral, ethical, religious and personal natures.  Civilized people do not embark upon intentional mass killing of their enemies.

What choices do the terrorists allow Western Civilization?  Must we simply continue resisting asymmetric terrorist attacks day by day?  Must we redirect and dedicate a major portion of our productive resources toward defending ourselves from terrorism?  How can Western Civilization coexist with terrorism when terrorists numbered in the millions, attack and have nothing to live for and nothing to lose by dying?
