Alinsky, meet Machiavelli

Saul Alinsky - you dirty, old, bespectacled Commie bastard - I love you. Because you work for me now. You work for us now. You're our bitch, and we hold the leash. Thanks for leaving us the playbook of the Left, by the way. Much appreciated. And now, I'd like to introduce you to a greater mind: Niccolo Machiavelli. You won't really understand what he has to say to you. Your peevish, frustrated, impotent little mind really isn't up to the task, unfortunately. No matter. You and the Florentine are going to be working closely together, like it or not.

Because you see, this is the United States of America. Here, everyone is a prince, or at the very least can aspire to be so. Many even succeed at the effort. You seem to have missed that little point; and yet the brain-dead Left idolizes you as some kind of modern Robin Hood. Well, I suppose you do have something in common with the bandit of Sherwood - you both trafficked with criminals and thugs. But, alas, we have no romanticism reserved for the likes of you - and we've no room for filthy Commies here. We'll just co-opt your list of dirty tricks, and eschew your sweaty ideology. Get used to it. Play time's over. It's our turn now. We're spoiling for a fight, you see. And while we'll still be irate in November, that's just too far away.

The game starts now, and we make the rules.

Okay, patriots - now to the nitty-gritty:

We have good reason to suspect that our ranks were infiltrated at the Capital. Keith Olbermann is salivating over it while masturbating to semi-nude pictures of Mullet Maddow (who always reminds me of Wesley Crusher from Star Trek: the Next Generation for some reason), dressed as a butch dominatrix holding salad tongs. The Left is positively as giddy as a school girl about the whole thing, and somewhere Katie Couric is embarrassing herself on a dance floor again.

The Big Question is, What are we gonna do about it?

I know that we're an independent crowd. We chafe at having strict leadership. And that's good. An army of Davids is a lot harder to bring down than a single, centralized figurehead.

So, here's my devious little plan.

1: There are already extant groups in most states, and many of these are broken down into more localized groups. Organize at the local level, as you already have done, and elect a semi-official leader for each chapter. Keep the identity of the leader anonymous, if at all possible. Meet at rallying points, and inspect the signs of your fellow patriots. Avoid signs that attack individuals - such as the president - and instead employ signs that assault the ISSUES. No more Obama = Hitler signs. The Left did that with W., and it's old. No more Obama = the Joker, or Kool-Aid signs, either. Keep it cogent and to the point.

2: Be aware of who is in your group, and act as a UNIT. It's time to go Roman on these bastards. Don't interact with people outside your group any more than is absolutely necessary. There should be at least two people in your group that are watching the people around them. One or more of them should be FILMING EVERYTHING, so that accusations of slurs, spitting, etc. can be falsified and discredited. This will serve a two fold purpose: 1, it will strengthen the integrity of our argument, as well as the movement as a whole; and 2, it will discredit our detractors when they make false allegations. One or more of the Eyes should be taking a broader view, looking for out-group trouble and possible infiltrators.

3: While we must avoid having one central leader, your local group leader should be elected on their merits. They should confab with other local and regional leaders regarding strategy for large protests, or other operations wherein thousands of groups will be participating. This should be a loose network, however, as danger lies in over-organization. In all cases, illegality is to BE AVOIDED. We must work within the framework of the law, or we lose all credibility.

4: At least two or three should be assigned the task of confronting possible infiltrators - in a non-violent fashion - and sending them off with a flea in their ears. If they have reason to suspect that an individual is there to instigate a black propaganda/false flag incident, then they must step forward and make it clear that this individual does not speak/act for us. One might even consider carrying small canisters of bright-colored paint to splash the front of the clothing with as an identifier. This may itself be considered assault, but it is a non-violent assault (and besides, stupid PETA does it all the time, after a fashion). In any case, the infiltrator will be unlikely to press charges.

5: Whenever and wherever possible, infiltrate counter protest groups. Collect relevant data, or - if thought prudent and effective - seek to weaken their cause. The method of doing so should be up to the the bold individuals who take up the task. But remember, KEEP IT WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF THE LAW.

Seek to cause rifts within the opposition, such as inter-group rivalries. Attempt to make the group take a more offensive, radical stance on anything. The more you can make them look like a bunch of raving lunatics, the better. Suggestions: mandatory abortions, kill the meat-eaters, the government was behind 9-11, etc. Here's the thing about the Left...they're rife with internal rifts, and are far more fractured ideologically than they might seem. These are terrible weaknesses waiting to be exploited; and a natural side effect of having no real objective grasp on reality. So, exploit them. Divide them. Pit them against each other. Those that undertake this should not be a nervous people, and nor should they appear too zealous to the targets...at least, not at first.

6: Read The Prince and Rules for Radicals.

Here endeth the lesson.
