This immediately helps us identify and “bin” our first enemies rather straightforwardly in<strong>to</strong> the<br />

useful categories of trai<strong>to</strong>rs and fools, <strong>to</strong> separate them from the huddled masses. Hang the<br />

trai<strong>to</strong>rs and harness the fools <strong>to</strong> mobilize them productively for our own cause – easier said<br />

than done without genuine political power and intellectual prowess <strong>to</strong> bring it about. This is<br />

evidently as true in Brzezinski's 'global zone of percolating violence' as in Brzezinski's 'sole<br />

remaining superpower' which is entirely overrun by trai<strong>to</strong>rs and fools <strong>to</strong>gether screwing their<br />

own nation. As is self-evident from my Message <strong>to</strong> the US Congress in 2008 at the time of<br />

their willing passage of the Bankster Bailout Bill, failure <strong>to</strong> lead and act propitiously, trivially<br />

identifies who works for whom. It is not entirely obvious how any self-respecting nation,<br />

peoples, and even superpower, can survive either its trai<strong>to</strong>rs or its fools. Which is why none<br />

do!<br />

Which is also why nothing can be done without getting rid of the fifth columnists first.<br />

Hence the self-evident import of the remarkable truth in the saying that is quoted in the 2500<br />

years old manual for waging both successful wars and successful self-defense: 'If you know<br />

the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know<br />

yourself but not the enemy, for every vic<strong>to</strong>ry gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know<br />

neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.'<br />

<strong>The</strong>refore, in conclusion, if a genuine revolutionary acumen which can effectively bring <strong>to</strong> bear<br />

the above nugget of political wisdom from <strong>The</strong> Art of War is secretly undergoing some zealous<br />

birth-pangs just beneath the surface, it is high time these boldly germinated while the soil is still<br />

fertile. Just as the hec<strong>to</strong>ring hegemons need “revolutionary times” <strong>to</strong> seed their own agendas,<br />

the same “revolutionary times” really become a double edged sword in the art of war. Why?<br />

Because it is also only in these “revolutionary times” that the enemy can also be conceivably<br />

defeated: “what is inconceivable in normal times is possible in revolutionary times”! As his<strong>to</strong>ry<br />

testifies, it is only in “revolutionary times” that the fifth columnists reveal themselves in order <strong>to</strong><br />

play their assigned hand. And it is only in “revolutionary times” that the entire house can be<br />

cleansed in a genuine revolution. Since the hec<strong>to</strong>ring hegemons well understand this –<br />

empiricism indicates that they are also far better attuned <strong>to</strong> continually preempting it in ongoing<br />

game theory enactment with massive deployment of resources and newer Trojan Horses. To<br />

wage an effective war against such nemeses fundamentally require engaging Mens et Manus<br />

– both mind and hand <strong>to</strong>gether!<br />
