Kinetic wars involve the bombs and bullets, grand strategies, operational planning, and the conduct of tactical operations.\\ \\ The war we are in involves **information, not invasion**. It is a civilizational war with enemies both without and within. The enemies of America create division, foster distrust, promote entertainments to distract, make certain that drugs, both legal and illegal are readily available, not only to create physical and psychological dependence, but also to financially reward those who supply the drugs.\\ \\ **Our enemies** seek to destroy the foundations of freedom: family, morality, personal responsibility, equality before the law, shared history, gender distinctions and modesty of dress. The Christian religion and the cultural values derived from it are besieged and attacked, degraded as though these values can be discarded without fracturing the civilization which is built upon them.-\\ \\ Is our biggest enemy **China** with its doctrine of deception rather than direct confrontation, or is it the **deep state** within our own borders that uses unconstitutional disinformation, and that causes the de-platforming and de-monetization of voices that engage in the search for **truth?**\\ \\ If we are to overcome the deep state, and be well prepared to defeat China, we must first shrink the overgrown government and cut off its insubordinate tentacles.  Let the people demand the use of **Article V** to amend the basic law of the land! Deception and disinformation have deceived too many people.  Open your eyes, oh people, see that you are being led to your destruction. There is a path to a better future. It goes beneath the archway of **Article V** and its course is a convention for proposing amendments. We the people **can** do this!
