Defining ‘Victory’
In my opinion, our leaders aren’t defining what victory for “our side” would really look like or entail.
Great minds must think alike because Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute just published the exact same column I was going to write next. Jeffrey’s column in The Epoch Times asks, “Is our side winning or losing?”
I’m now not going to write that column since Jeffrey made most of the points I was going to make, only better.
Still, my piece was going to be slightly different as I also wanted to ask this question: How does one even define “winning?”This is arguably the key question that more citizens should probably be asking.
My answer is that “victory” will have occurred when the would-be totalitarians that caused all the turmoil and misery are exposed as villains and purged from all the important leadership positions. That way, they can’t continue to impose future misery on the world.
The real war is the war our nation’s Founders decided to wage 247 years ago. It’s a war for maximum freedom, liberty and genuine democracy, which would take away the ability of totalitarians to destroy the qualify of life of “We the people.”
My little piece in this battle …
As a contrarian journalist, I feel like I’m a small-time soldier in this war. Every story I write is really designed to help our side “win” a key battle or two … and then the total war.
For example, as a Substack author I’m perhaps best known as the guy who is trying to prove “early spread” happened.
I do want to prove this happened, but only because I think, if definitively proven, this would constitute a key victory in a larger war. It would prove that our experts, “leaders” and authority figures should not be trusted and were probably lying or concealing important truths all along.
If this lesson took with the masses, this would damage the credibility of these dangerous leaders and make it more likely they were run out of town and couldn’t do further damage.
When I analyze my work, I see that I’ve broken this battle down into itty bitty sub-parts.
Each story I write is designed to move the needle on a bigger project. It is analogous to a major battle, where one squad might have a key mission that, if successful, might make something else possible, that might make something else possible, and on up the line.
For example, If I could prove that more schools closed due to ILI in the pre-Covid months, this might help prove “early spread,” which would prove we had been lied to by our trusted officials, which would impugn their credibility, which would make it more likely they lose their power, which would make it more likely my children will have a brighter and safer future.
The last words in that long sentence identify the victory I’m really gunning for. But I’m moving pawns all over the chess board trying to set up that end-game victory.
One of the key components of my warfare strategy is that if just one truth bomb detonates - if just one massive lie is exposed - the public will reach the conclusion they’ve been lied to about myriad “official narratives” and then, in rapid fashion, all of those lies would/could be exposed.
The carcinogenic real rulers in our world might be routed. This would mean they were banished from leadership positions, but it would also mean they couldn’t complete all the other programs they’re so intent on implementing.
Here’s one way I define victory …
One could actually define victory by all the things that were going to happen that never end up happening. I’ll try to give some specific examples.
Digital currency - the banning of cash - won’t happen. Fifteen-minute cities will disappear. Perfectly fine products that were banned (because they allegedly create “climate change”) will be unbanned. All the dangerous mRNA vaccines to come wouldn’t be approved by the FDA.
Inflation wouldn’t become hyper-inflation. Small businesses would have a chance to compete against crony mega corporations. Woke indoctrination would be ridiculed instead of embraced.
We’ll know our side has “won” when major mainstream news organizations once again start acting like “watchdogs” of those with great power and plenty of news organizations provide “balance” in their news coverage.
Basically, every important organization that is now completely captured would become uncaptured.
But Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, “Joe Biden,” Klaus von Schwab, BlackRock, the WHO, etc. would all have to be exposed, disgraced and if, not prosecuted, banished from positions of power.
As you can see, achieving this victory isn’t going to be easy.
When I think about the true definition of victory, I think about all the freedom-supporting heroes who are trying to detonate just one key truth bomb.
It might be someone who proves, definitively, that vaccines are dangerous and that excess deaths are spiking because of these non-vaccines. It might be someone who proves that 90 percent of the alleged Covid deaths were really iatrogenic deaths.
Or the key truth bomb might have nothing to do with unexposed Covid scandals. Maybe someone could prove that the entire system conspired to protect Jeffrey Epstein and all his VIP clients.
Maybe someone could prove that elections in key swing states are, in fact, fixed.
More specific victory ‘tells’ …
I’ll know our side has won when … only 10 percent of the country gets a flu shot, when Pfizer is bankrupt and out of business, when we no longer have a CDC or an NIH or 20 other dangerous alphabet agencies.
The greatest sign of clear and complete victory would probably be the day when the CIA is abolished.
This would be my ultimate symbol or proof of victory, but I bet only 1 percent of people reading this think that day will ever come.
But if none of these things happen …. what is going to happen? Are we really supposed to believe all these utterly corrupt and/or captured agencies are going to reform themselves? That some super politician is going to make everything better?
So it’s probably important to ask ourselves what victory would look like or entail.
The popularity of Donald Trump proves that many voters think that real victory can’t happen unless the “swamp is drained” … and they are absolutely right IMO.
But I don’t think even the most avid MAGA supporter has pictured what the swamp being drained would really look like. All I’ll say is that if you are really going to drain the swamp, you can’t leave the most hostile alligators in it.
For most people, I think victory for our side is either vaguely defined or never defined. To them, “victory” is the right politician winning an election or ending vaccine mandates.
But real victory is restoring a world where real freedom, democracy and dissenting speech are not threatened and are, once again, celebrated as universal principles.
Unless the swamp is really drained and the captured organizations all become uncaptured, our side will never celebrate a genuine victory.
In my opinion, our side isn’t going to achieve victory until we do a better job of defining what true victory would really look like.
Edit update: I deleted all my history examples to cut the length of the article and get right to Covid tyranny. I spent 5 1/2 years in college and did finally earn a degree in history, knowledge I rarely use. I think I wanted to use some of those history analogies to justify some of the $ my parents spent on tuition. But that text is now ... history.
American politicians love using the phrase “War on…(insert their cause here).” Kinda revealing that they love war so much they want to wage it on everything. Obviously they see war as the solution to all the problems that plague us. Strange considering wars pretty much suck for everyone except profiteers and psychopaths.
