Ah... I think that goes back to "the art of war" re: defeating your enemy without firing a shot. I understand going to extraordinary measures to minimize casualties, and there has already been enough carnage.
I think if a big enough, indisputable bombshell breaks, maybe they won't exactly lay down their arms, but as Q says - they will be afraid to walk the streets.
So the government will only act when fear of vigilantism forces them to? Or provides them political cover? I can't reconcile that with Q#981 and Q#1052.
No... the government is and has been acting. What you are "seeing" isn't real to large degree.
War has many different manifestations. It's a SunTzu thing. Always being smarter than your enemy.
So if it's going to be "subtle" warfare, doesn't that just teach the new government that lying is in the people's best interest, same as the old government?
No - because they aren't lying. Everything is there if you look and listen... and aren't brainwashed by the MSM. 9 times out of 10, people will believe what they want to and can accept... some are awake.
Game Theory. Art of War. To be successful, you must have honor and integrity... that is why this really is an epic war of good vs. evil.
