In military terms the word “signal” is synonymous with communications. Military signals involve all aspects of communications from the earliest use of runners to the modern digital devices and everything in-between.
The first distinctive uses of military communications were called semaphore. Modern units specializing in these tactics are usually designated as signal corps. In today's world the use of semaphore is adapted to the digital space via algorithmic functions, or can be atomic functions within the CPU, such as fetch-and-add.
One then can easily grasp how the use of semaphore can be adapted to situations and interactions wherein deceipt becomes a primary aspect of communication.
Sun Tzu, in his, “Art of War,” treatise, explains in detail the correct use of deceit to overcome an enemy.
President Donald Trump is a student of Sun Tzu and the Art of War. If you intend to understand his actions, and the actions of his officers, it is vital to understand the concepts that are enumerated in this work.
As an example, here is a section from the Art of War that explains how to use deceit against an enemy:
- All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
- Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him.
- If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them.
- Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
- These military devices, leading to victory, must not be divulged beforehand.
Can you not visualize these principles in action with regard to our President's behavior?
Recently there has been media attention placed upon an online chat group over the Signal app because it included several key players from President Trump's cabinet who were supposedly conversing openly about war plans, as well as a journalist whose past articles were not supportive of the President.
The allegation is that these players were absolutely incompetent, bordering on criminal, for using this platform for high level top secret communications about war plans involving a group known as “Houthis” in Yemen.
There are two aspects of the resulting media frenzy over this subject that one must consider in order to truly understand exactly what happened and why. Also, researching what these players were actually doing is vital. Jumping to conclusions shows a lack of intelligence and will lead one toward an inability to accept and process the truth of the matter.
Right now - today - there is concern that France has an insider in the Whitehouse who is communicating our doctrine and sharing it with the enemy. There is also concern that this person believes that they have information on one of President Trump's cabinet members that would be truly embarassing and perhaps cause a criminal investigation to be initiated.
In order to bring this person out from the shadows it was necessary to deceive this person, their handler, and any other person possibly involved. The deception will continue, as will the shills of the mainstream media, until the problem is resolved.
We should see the results in the near future.
We now know that all of the cabinet members involved were not communicating top secret information over an open source app.
We now know that NO lives were placed in jeopardy as a result of their actions.
We now know that Mr. Goldman, at The Atlantic, is a culpable party since he shared what he thought was classified information with other contacts. The rest will come out in time and we will all be able to see the results first hand.
Deception is a valuable tool in the hand of a leader who uses it rarely, with principle.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. John 4:1
