“Unrestricted Warfare”
Posted Jul 06, 2007
...a theory would accept that adversaries will wage -- are waging even as you read this -- neocortical warfare against us. (That China is quiet, for example, may not mean that we are not engaged in a conflict with China.)
Have you ever heard of "Unrestricted Warfare"? It's quite a spicy meatball. It's a document by two Chinese soldiers, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui. NEEDLESS TO SAY, it was not originally subtitled "China's Master Plan to Destroy America", and considering it was released in 1999, that cover photo did not exist. I'm not suggesting that China was behind 9-11 (in fact, I'm not suggesting anything about 9-11, ever) -- but there's a number of people who sincerely believe that. It's an absurd theory, but exploring it leads to some fascinating data points, if you're so inclined. Most of the focus on this document is for all the wrong reasons -- the actual contents of the book are not a "master plan" for anything. However, it is some of the best writing on the nature and future of warfare I've found. Dig:
"New weapons concepts are completely different from new concept weapons. New weapons concepts is a broad conception of weapons that transcends the military field- whatever method can be used to fight a war is a weapon. In this view, whatever provides benefits to mankind can also be turned around to be a weapon to harm mankind. [...] To our way of thinking, a planned stock market crash, a computer virus attack, making the currency exchange rate of an enemy country erratic, and spreading rumors on the Internet about the leaders of an enemy country can all be thought of as new concept weapons. This new way of thinking puts weapons into the daily lives of civilians. New concept weapons can make of war something that even military professionals will find hard to imagine. Both soldiers and civilians will be disturbed to see items in their everyday lives become weapons that can attack and kill."
One more excerpt before we move along -- this whole document will be unpacked in detail later on when we take a look at China (or you could, like, actually read it...here's Unrestricted Warfare in it's English-translated entirety right here, courtesy of Brainsturbator Library.)
"War in the age of technological integration and globalization has eliminated the right of weapons to label war and, with regard to the new starting point, has realigned the relationship of weapons to war, while the appearance of weapons of new concepts, and particularly new concepts of weapons, has gradually blurred the face of war. Does a single "hacker" attack count as a hostile act or not? Can using financial instruments to destroy a country's economy be seen as a battle? Did CNN's broadcast of an exposed corpse of a U.S. soldier in the streets of Mogadishu shake the determination of the Americans to act as the world's policeman, thereby altering the world's strategic situation? And should an assessment of wartime actions look at the means or the results? Obviously, proceeding with the traditional definition of war in mind, there is no longer any way to answer the above questions. When we suddenly realize that all these non-war actions may be the new factors constituting future warfare, we have to come up with a new name for this new form of war: Warfare which transcends all boundaries and limits, in short: unrestricted warfare."
Can't help but be reminded of the McLuhan quote from earlier in the week:
"Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America -- not on the battlefields of Vietnam."

Micheal Aquino and “Mindwar”
Posted Jul 06, 2007
The man to the left is Michael Aquino, and he's worth taking a closer look at. I first ran across Micheal Acquino back when he was a Satanist child molester, implicated in the very weird Satanic Ritual Abuse scandal at the Presidio in California. (He's also been connected to the Franklin Coverup by Noreen Gosch.) Acquino is also the former High Priest of the Temple of Set, a west-coast faction of Anton LaVey's Church of Satan -- and he's written a very curious "debunking" of Remote Viewing, "Project Star Gate: 20 Million up in Smoke (and Mirrors)". It's curious for two reasons: first, that a high-ranking active occultist would write such an essay to begin with, and second, it's written as if Quantum Physics never happened, relying on outdated but "common sense" logic. Although it's only my opinion, I do feel it's pretty obvious he's just trying to stir up mud in a dark pond.
Where Michael Aquino really intersects with today's article is his early work for the US Military: two papers on Psychological Warfare. The first is Psychological Operations: The Ethical Dimension and the follow-up is From PsyOps to MindWar: The Psychology of Victory. Both documents are important reads, and if anything, they're even worse than they sound.
Whatever darker perversions Aquino may be involved with are secrets which will probably die with him, should they exist at all. However, his military intelligence pedigree is a matter of public record, he proudly provides a resume on his website. Although that might be a psychological operation unto itself, who knows...
EXCERPTS:
"For the mind to believe in its own decisions, it must feel that it made those decisions without coercion. Coercive measures used by the operative, consequently, must not be detectable by ordinary means. There is no need to resort to mind-weakening drugs such as those explored by the CIA; in fact the exposure of a single such method would do unacceptable damage to MindWar's reputation for truth. Existing PSYOP identifies purely-sociological factors which suggest appropriate idioms for messages. Doctrine in this area is highly developed, and the task is basically one of assembling and maintaining individuals and teams with enough expertise and experience to apply the doctrine effectively. This, however, is only the sociological dimension of target receptiveness measures. There are some purely natural conditions under which minds may become more or less receptive to ideas, and MindWar should take full advantage of such phenomena as atmospheric electromagnetic activity, air ionization, and extremely low frequency waves."
Unlike PSYOP, MindWar has nothing to do with deception or even with "selected" - and therefore misleading - truth. Rather it states a whole truth that, if it does not now exist, will be forced into existence by the will of the United States. The examples of Kennedy's ultimatum to Khrushchev during the Cuban Missile Crisis and Hitler's stance at Munich might be cited. A MindWar message does not have to fit conditions of abstract credibility as do PSYOP there; its source makes it credible. As Livy once said: "The terror of the Roman name will be such that the world shall know that, once a Roman army had laid siege to a city, nothing will move it -- not the rigors or winter nor the weariness of months and years -- that it knows no end but victory and is ready, in a swift and sudden stroke will not serve, to preserve until that victory is achieved."

Rand report on the “Networks and Netwars”
Posted Jul 06, 2007
The Dark Side
Most people might hope for the emergence of a new form of organization to be led by ?good guys" who do ?the right thing" and grow stronger because of it. But history does not support this contention. The cutting edge in the early rise of a new form may be found equally among malcontents, ne'er-do-wells, and clever opportunists eager to take advantage of new ways to maneuver, exploit, and dominate. Many centuries ago, for example, the rise of hierarchical forms of organization, which displaced traditional, consultative, tribal forms, was initially attended, in parts of the world, by the appearance of ferocious chieftains bent on military conquest and of violent secret societies run according to rank?long before the hierarchical form matured through the institutionalization of states, empires, and professional administrative and bureaucratic systems. In like manner, the early spread of the market form, only a few centuries ago, was accompanied by a spawn of usurers, pirates, smugglers, and monopolists, all seeking to elude state controls over their earnings and enterprises.
Why should this pattern not be repeated in an age of networks? There appears to be a subtle, dialectical interplay between the bright and dark sides in the rise of a new form of organization. The bright-side actors may be so deeply embedded in and constrained by a society's established forms of organization that many have difficulty becoming the early innovators and adopters of a new form. In contrast, nimble bad guys may have a freer, easier time acting as the cutting edge?and reacting to them may be what eventually spurs the good guys to innovate.
The spread of the network form and its technologies is clearly bringing some new risks and dangers. It can be used to generate threats to freedom and privacy. New methods for surveillance, monitoring, and tracking are being developed; and the uproars over the intelligence systems ?Echelon," ?Semantic Forests," and ?Carnivore" manifest what will surely be enduring concerns. Critical national infrastructures for power, telecommunications, and transportation, as well as crucial commercial databases and information systems for finance and health, remain vulnerable to computer hackers and cyberterrorists. Furthermore, a growing ?digital divide" between information ?haves" and ?have-nots" portends a new set of social inequities. All this places new strains on the world's democracies. Even worse is the possibility that information-age dictatorships will arise in parts of the world, based on the skillful exploitation of the new technologies for purposes of political command and control.
