Simply psychological. If you can depersonalize someone, i.e. re- name it, you can then destroy it. The hardest thing to destroy, unless there is a psych break, something personal. A face with a name. First rule of combat, nick- name the enemy. It also applies to many criminal activities. If you are... racist, wealthy, dressed like a hooker.. fill in the blank, then a criminal feels more empowered to strike against you. I strongly suggest everyone get your name and face out there. Refuse to be labeled. This is a Christ- centered activity, as well, from Genesis to Revelations it is all about personal relationships.

Was it Lenin who said “Always accuse your enemies of what you are about to do”?

“Reichstag Fire?”

Maybe something like this, around October.

(Found this fiction on the internet.)

INTERIOR UNDERGROUND DC PARKING GARAGE. BOTTOM LEVEL. NIGHT.

Libra’s footsteps echo off the walls. The buzz of a flickering neon light is heard. In the corner of the garage a whole sector of lights has gone dark. Shadows thicken. A lighter flickers in the darkness as a cigar is lit.

LIBRA: Carthago. Countersign?

CENTURION: Delenda est. Sort of overly dramatic don’t you think?

LIBRA: Not paid to think. What is the assignment?

CENTURION: The Wing thinks it’s time to lay a little blue smoke between the mirrors. Take the heat off our team and torch the other side. That’s your job.

LIBRA: Fine. How wet does the Wing want it to get?

CENTURION: We project that if three team members are sent down it should put a stop to any attrition in November.

LIBRA: Wouldn’t taking out just one serve the same purpose?

CENTURION: No. It has to look like a pattern.

LIBRA: Fine. Any particular team members you need erased?

CENTURION: Nobody from Chicago or San Francisco. And from safe seats only. We need to preserve the count. Renegade’s very keen on that.

LIBRA: Level of obfuscation?

CENTURION: None. Public and messy. “Accidents” would be counter productive. But no families. Renaissance would be upset.

LIBRA: Timing?

CENTURION: Within the next 10 days. It would be best if all three were within the same day.

LIBRA: You want target clearance and notification?

CENTURION: No. This will be the last contact for this contract.

LIBRA: Half to the Bahamas account by noon tomorrow and the half on completion to our friend in Costa Rica.

CENTURION: Done.

LIBRA: Anything else?

CENTURION: No. If we need you again we can always find you.

LIBRA: That’s what you people always think. Oh, by the way, was that stuff about you being naked in the showers the real deal?

CENTURION: Just get it done.

FADE TO BLACK

You should send her a copy of FEAT with a note saying she did such a wonderful job on DE that you’d really appreciate getting another review from her.

A Reichstag Fire on the Installment Plan is all that it is.

This is their last card. They are desperate.

As elitists, they DO NOT like the American People TALKING BACK TO THEM. NOT ONE BIT.

I only found "Accuse your enemies of what you are about to do to them," here.

It's a comment on a thread.

The irony is that those who are establishing collectivism in America are accusing the individualists of racism, whereas, as this article shows, racism in a society increases in direct proportion to the amount of the collectivism imposed upon it and inversely with the amount of individualism protected.  After all, if groupism is the main criteria for identifying people, skin color is the easiest one for people with discrimination limitations or handicaps can cope with.
 
   Historically, racism has always risen or fallen with the rise or fall of collectivism.  Collectivism holds that the individual has no rights, that his life and work belong to the group (to "society," to the tribe, the state, the nation) and that the group may sacrifice him at its own whim to its own interests.  The only way to implement a doctrine of that kind is by means of brute force -- and statism has always been the poltical corollary of collectivism.

   The absolute state is merely an institutionalized form of gang rule, regardless of which particular gang seizes power.  And -- since there is no rational justification for such rule, since none has ever been or can ever be offered -- the mystique of racism is a crucial element in every variant of the absolute state.  The relationship is reciprocal: statism rises out of prehistorical tribal warfare, out of the notion that the men of one tribe are the natural prey for the men of another -- and establishes its own internal sub-categories of racism, a system of castes determined by a man's birth, such as inherited titles of nobility or inherited serfdom.

   The racism of Nazi Germany -- where men had to fill questionnaires about their ancestry for generations back, in order to prove their "Aryan" descent -- has its counterpart in Soviet Russia, where men had to fill similar questionnaires to show that their ancestors had owned no property and thus to prove their "proletarian" descent.  The Soviet ideology rest on the notion that men can be conditioned to communism genetically -- that is, that a few generations conditioned by dictatorship will transmit communist ideology to their descendants, who will be communists at birth.  The persecution of racial minorities in Soviet Russia, according to the racial descent and whim of any given commissar, is a matter of record; anti-semitism is particularly prevalent -- only the official pogroms are now called "political purges."

   There is only one antidote to racism: the philosophy of individualism and its politico-economic corollary, laissez-faire capitalism.

   Individualism regards man -- every man -- as an independent, sovereign entity who possesses an inalienable right to his own life, a right derived from his nature as a rational being.  Individualism holds that a civilized society, or any form of association, cooperation or peaceful co-existence among men, can be achieved only on the basis of the recognition of individual rights -- and that a group, as such, has no rights other than the individual rights of its members.  

   It is not a man's ancestors or relatives or genes or body chemistry that count in a free market, but only one human attribute: productive ability.  It is by his own individual ability and ambition that capitalism judges a man and rewards him accordingly.

   No political system can establish universal rationality by law (or by force).  But capitalism is the only system that functions in a way which rewards rationality and penalizes all forms of irrationality, including racism.

   A fully free, capitalist system has not yet existed anywhere.  But what is enormously significant is the correlation of racism and political controls in the semi-free economies of the 19th century.  Racial and/or religious persecutions of minorities stood in inverse ratio to the degree of a country's freedom.  Racism was strongest in the more controlled economies, such as Russia and Germany -- and weakest in England, the then freest country of Europe.

 -- excerpted from the article "Racism" by Ayn Rand,  published in the September, 1963 issue of The Objectivist Newsletter, excerpts of which can be found HERE.

"The left attempts to brand us tea party patriots as haters, while in reality they are the ones spewing hate from deep within their souls." -- Lloyd Marcus, April 2nd, 2010 here:  http://www.lloydmarcus.com/

The reality is that hating whitey is OK, and the honkies are supposed to shut up and take it.

The reverse racism against the majority whites is the simplest explanation for why the Tea Party is mostly white and so many white males vote for the GOP, but the lamestream media can’t acknowledge that.

The single white females who vote for the rats because of various entitlements or the right to abortion are going to rue the day whites become a minority in this country due to lax immigration, and reverse discrimination laws are still in place.

These latest leftest schemes to expand the government are going to fall most heavily on the middle class which is mostly white.

Sorry for the rant, but I wish I could distill it more concisely for usable talking points that would be distributed to the Tea Parties and the GOP. It’s late. Thanks for the quotes & link.
