Koch-Putin Non-Linear Warfare

I. Non-linear warfare is a good way to describe the disruptions to our country. Adam Curtis' 2014 documentary on Non-Linear Warfare directs our attention toward what Putin began. Russian cyberwar operatives call it hybrid warfare -- unorthodox, non-military takeovers of others' assets.

Thanks to Nancy MacLean's Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America (2017, recent National Book Award finalist) we learn of 20th Century civil rights hater and ‘rational racist,’ James M. Buchanan and his program with Fred Koch's boys, Charles and David, to get rid of pesky democratic majority rule.

Trump is now the post-bipartisan player who steps forward to take credit for what's been in the works for decades.

Behind the fake presidency curtain, you'll see that ...

The Charles Koch-James M. Buchanan network has grown three times more operatives on its payroll than the entire Republican party in 2015.

The Koch-Buchanan network operates out of the Mercator Center’s Institute for Humane Studies, at George Mason University, Arlington, VA. The institute still promotes ‘rational racism’ and the Austrian economics spread by members of the Mount Pelerin Society of Europe. Buchanan's training schools, fed by Koch money, create foundations, think tanks for their operatives, who also work in statehouses and universities across fifty states.

The Koch network goal: to establish minority rule over the majority. Think white ruled South Africa before Nelson Mandela.

Koch himself has admitted that his ‘revolution" would not have gotten as far as it has today if his network had been transparent. So it has taken on layers of aliases.

II. In the absence of all the FBI's evidence of Washington's failure to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution, below is a list of what the Kochs' non-linear warfare (money, academics, politics) looks like so far.

For 40 years (and since Buchanan's death in 2013) the Koch network has put forward politicians and academics to run its stealth program, instead:

1. Use James M. Buchanan's "political economy" philosophy (developed as racist cover against the Civil Rights Act) -- a minority and women dominance/exclusion ideology. Then get financial backers, Fred Koch's boys, Charles and David Koch, whose billions pay a national army of radical operatives to run think tanks, university curricula, campaigns, rallies;

2. Convince the public that the billionaire class is being exploited by the "moocher" majority of Americans, so they all should demand tax “reform” and eliminate almost all government but the military;

3. Put Citizens United to work:
Buy governments, state and federal; then impose ALEC legal templates from the Koch toolbox, to write bills to privatize anything, end women's reproductive rights, defund public schools, smash union contracts and bargaining.
ALEC builds Koch's "proxy army" (usually not lawyers themselves) to be the elite minority who rule the majority in America.
ALEC is wholly paid for by Charles Koch's State Policy Network.

4. Strip, at federal levels, Americans' benefits — education, health care; privatize Social Security and Medicare.

5. Manipulate citizens to criminalize each other, fight against each other's bias confirmation "bubbles, crisis-drive everyone to doubt and hate government; call for white nationalism and race war, foment random mass murders. Putin's hybrid (the Russian version of "non-linear warfare) cyberwar troll farms get to help for at least the last three years.

6. Privatize the Post Office, every public institution and national park; increase all fees for their use, “close” due to “lack of use."

7. Deregulate all government oversight on national land, assets, infrastructure, business; gut the State Department, EPA and the rest of government.

8. Suppress the voter rolls of all fifty states by gerrymander, voter roll purges, and disallow voter ID's, arrest or prison records; then do Crosscheck, electronic machine or server tampering. Use Russian troll farm interference to hack servers, campaign databases, create fake political organizations and rallies.

9. Buy the means of media production to character assassinate Democratic party opponents, promote distraction, deflection, wealth, strong man ideologies and religions.

10. Put in place billionaire minority rule --
first, rewrite the US Constitution through a convention to make minority rule ironclad; then run this country for billionaires, since for them, capitalism IS liberty.

The current Koch-GOP network are, literally, a fifth column, according to Nancy MacLean. Now we learn more of their external help from Putin and the Kremlin. To the Koch or Putin networks -- call them cabals, mafia, whatever -- unrestrained capitalism IS freedom. But. They only want liberty for their billionaire oligarchs and elites. Which is why DACA can get kicked out, but Russian oligarch anchor babies get dual passports through a hush-hush program enabled by Trump hotels in Miami.

The Koch and Putin networks don't care WHO rules; they want to change THE rules.

The Koch-Putin endgame is to turn all of America into poor versions of Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Kansas -- a petro-colonial state with infrastructure.

If Americans don't like it, tough. The Ukrainians, Middle East and Eastern Europeans didn't like it, either.

Ask the Kochs. Ask Putin. Americans brought this on their own degenerate, undeserving selves -- blacks, Latinos, women, whites, anyone who expects help from government -- because they are the WEAK. Putin operatives technologically facilitate 'identity' conflict drama, now using Trump and the NRA.

Anyone who resists them -- the young, leakers, resisters, Al Franken, Democratic Party donors, the FBI -- is The Enemy.

III. M. Buchanan wrote Chile's constitutional rule that required a super-majority -- 2/3 -- vote for any new laws. Chile acquired a “locks and bolts” constitution that enabled the capitalist junta's rule.

Watch for media reports of ‘revolutionary reform' —
"constitutional reforms" (stripping old civil rights out)
"modernization," (privatization and purges in education, media),
"self financing," (everyone provides for his/her own medical, schooling, retirement) -- while you are told to rejoice in your restored individual "freedoms" to own weapons, consume, produce, save and invest.

If you get even a whiff of talk about our Constitution that changes "checks and balances," to "locks and bolts” against majority voting, it is sponsored by the Kochs, enabled by Putin, no matter who else the ‘front’ men are.

Bari Weiss Speaks To the 'Me Too' Hard and Middle Left On Bill Maher

Perspectives from one recent TV discussion on balancing freedoms, ending patriarchy, gender issues, and what the sexual revolution can be.

When Maher keeps his mouth shut, he learns much from women.
