Comments On @OptimisticCon Article:

The key supporting effort appears to be underway on Trump’s operational timeline

As we emphasized yesterday, J.E. Dyer commands us: "But do hold the line." https://libertyunyielding.com/2020/12/21/the-key-supporting-effort-appears-to-be-underway-on-trumps-operational-timeline/

2) Studying J.E.'s first article, we learned that there are:

* Main Efforts &
* Supporting Efforts

While a Main Effort cannot be invisible, Supporting Efforts come in both flavors:

* Visible &
* Invisible

Supporting Efforts also may be:

* Key, or
* Not-Key

3) It took a lot of work, but we learned that Trump's current campaign to #StopTheSteal has Not-Key Supporting Efforts in such things as lawsuits whose main purpose is to establish, visibly, how terrible the election fraud really was, regardless of legal outcome.

4) The Main Effort must, we learned, be legislative in nature. It is legislatures that determine the outcomes of elections, and if his campaign is to achieve victory, it is there it will be achieved. We leave J.E.'s work for a brief detour to General McInerney.

5) General Mac has zero faith in any branch of government right now, and believes that ONLY @POTUS can remedy this stolen election. After much analysis there, I summarized his recommendations in this list of 10 Commandments To Save America.

6) I confess, I have real fear that, by failing to adhere to General Mac's counsel, the day may come in the future where we look back on this moment wishing we had. J.E. Dyer does not agree. She holds faith in @POTUS' campaign and her intention is to suss out its victory path.

7) I still struggle to represent J.E.'s concepts cleanly, so we have to work on our map a bit more.

A) Main Effort
B) Key Supporting Effort - Likely Invisible
C) Not-Key Supporting Efforts - Likely Visible

I don't like the term "Not-Key," it was really just a placeholder.

8) Synonyms for Key might be:

Primary, Critical, Necessary

Synonyms for Not-Key might be:

Secondary, Complimentary, Beneficial

Nomenclature counts. When we get it right, it is instantly invisible, due to perfect, instant clarity. I think I have a decision.

9) Let me know what you think of this improved (or not) concept map:

A) Main Effort
B) Critical Supporting Effort
C) Complimentary Supporting Efforts

Like A, B must be singular, with the word "Most," as in "Most Critical" being implied. C may be plural.

10) Now allow me, please, to abbreviate Supporting Effort(s) to SE, and we go again:

A) Main Effort - Visible
B) Critical SE - Likely Invisible
C) Complimentary SE - May be Visible or Invisible

I hope that's at least clear, if not perfectly elegant.

11) We'll soon begin our work on J.E.' article itself, but we will take one additional, delightful detour. I've been reading Frederic Bastiat's works now for about 8 years. Along the way, I found this phenomenal essay. Do tag it for a full reading!

http://bastiat.org/en/twisatwins.html

12) You'll immediately see how instructive it is in coming to terms with J.E.'s thinking, just from its title alone:

That Which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen

This work, along with all of Bastiat's thinking, has been viciously suppressed by the Left.

13) It isn't too difficult to do. Bastiat is, no doubt, an idealist. At least in today's world. He was a hard-fighting legislator in France in the early 19th Century, and I doubt any of his opponents would have named him a mere idealist. His arguments are devastating.

14) Bastiat's main work, The Law, was published in 1850, just 2 years after The Communist Manifesto. The battle was fierce, back then. Idealism was NOT to be found, then. But, with the brilliant strategies that Marx and Engels employed, society turned in their direction.

15) By the early 20th Century, and certainly by its middle, the Academic/Economic Establishment was lock, stock, and barrel Marxist. It was, therefore, easy work for them to excoriate Bastiat, relegating him to the dustbin of has-been thinkers unworthy of modern study.

16) Here's a link to a free version of The Law. It is his most important work, no question. But when it comes to economic analysis, you will NEVER find a greater essay than the one above.

https://fee.org/media/14951/thelaw.pdf

17) As I struggled with J.E.'s visible and invisible supporting efforts, it was my reading of Bastiat's Seen and Unseen that helped me through the most. And here's our last tie-in. The Yin Yang. For the Chinese, the white is invisible, the black visible.

18) As we turn to J.E.'s work, I plan to use her own term, "key supporting effort" as much as possible. But, I may use our map above for other ways to say things, too.

With that, let us dive in.

19) Slide one. Defense officials are pushing to split U.S. Cyber Command away from the NSA. When did those two unite? In the strange and destructive year 2009. We may call it the Year of Obama's Apology Tour.

20) Slide two. What led to this proposed split up now? Four things, interconnected:

(a) Spygate
(b) SolarWinds Hack
(c) Recent Pentagon Personnel Changes
(d) 2020 Election Fraud

How may all four items connect?

21) The answer comes from J.E.'s December 4 article:

In Trump’s campaign to save the Republic, we haven’t seen the key supporting effort yet

In today's work, we learn that what we had not seen then appears to be on track now. https://libertyunyielding.com/2020/12/04/in-trumps-campaign-to-save-the-republic-we-havent-seen-the-key-supporting-effort-yet/

22) Note: I refer to paragraphs by number, like so: P1, P2, etc.

P4 is worthy of intense focus. It lays out J.E.'s main case for the moment, as of December 21 when she published this piece.

23) From P4: "The gist of the key supporting effort is that it involves intelligence collection, principally through IT/cyber means, on the entities behind the electronic vote-tampering via voting systems in the 2020 election."

IT/cyber intel collection is obviously invisible.

24) "Although some of the evidence that justifies this collection has been laid out in court cases, and briefed to state legislatures, this is a separate effort because it’s not about persuading courts to rule or government entities to investigate."

25) Linger here. NOT about persuading courts to rule. NOT about persuading government entities to investigate. This is EXACTLY the sort of thing that we, here, together at Twitter can handle whereas the Legacy Media couldn't find a boulder in a haystack, let alone a needle.

26) We're here to look behind the seen, behind the scenes, underneath them to find the unseen truth. These are also known as root causes. As you see trunk, limbs, branches and leaves of a tree above ground, its roots are invisible beneath. We digging down, here.

27) Slide 3. We have huge quantities of intelligence collected and are able to tie that intelligence to election outcomes. We have had this knowledge for much longer than most realized, which provided ample time to prepare.

28) Trump's September 2018 EO, 13848, paved the way for this collection. This empowered FISA, how? To surveil US and foreign actors, and unmask them over their interference in our election.

Let's pause on a point of ignorance here, on my part.

29) Picture that warrants were attained, and names have been unmasked, but NOT leaked, yet. How do these results support Operation #Overturn? Could it be that new talent at both Defense and DOJ are emplaced for just that purpose? I don't know, but it's fun to imagine.

30) Slide 4. EO 13848 can do more than surveil and unmask. It can also justify cyber ops. We're about to follow our bouncing ball - isn't that a wonderful phrase? - make some connections!

31) It's time for a reading (and 2nd pot of coffee) break. Know what? I have never read the text of an Executive Order before. Have you? Let's get started now. You know what's coming. I'm going to want a volunteer to do a thread on this! Back in a bit... https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-imposing-certain-sanctions-event-foreign-interference-united-states-election/

32) Wow! Distractions (and their connected learning) are infinite. That Executive Order is nothing other than a sheer joy to read. And oh, we might only hope (or maybe just a bit more than merely hope) that its stipulations are about to come flashing down from heaven above!

33) Seriously, we need an aspiring commentator to walk us through it, rapidly. I still have so much work to do right here with J.E.'s guidance that I can't let myself turn there. Yet, it is IMPOSSIBLE to overemphasize the significance of E.O 13848.

34) To my as yet untrained eye, it seems so important that, upon reading it, I can almost see no other path to Operation #Overturn victory. I have, however, learned to NEVER box Trump in. He is devious and wiley, patient and crafty. He might have even been a Sicilian.

35) We will certainly have time, before my 10:00 coaching session for at least one more slide, and maybe more. We'll see. Here then is:

Slide 5.

36) Dateline after the Nov 3 election: DOD - Esper out, Chris Miller as acting SECDEF in; Kash Patel as added as chief of staff to Miller; the amazing Ezra Cohen-Watnick, famously a @GenFlynn man, made, get this, Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence. Stunning.

37) On how many interviews has @GenFlynn quoted himself saying that on a scale of 1 - 10 his call is TEN! for Trump. Even at this late date, who are we to question his judgment? Okay, anyone's judgment can be questioned, and he most of all takes no offense when you do. But still.

38) Talk about the bouncing ball. If you can, you DO want to click on all of J.E.'s links.

This is from one in P10:

"Next move: Mass replacement of members of Defense Business Board. This has multiple motives, but they boil down to the need to drain the swamp,

39) "to get our defense dollars working for us again. Trump conducted the first audit EVER of DOD, and DOD has yet to pass. For more than 20 years, there’s been a legitimate concern that trillions in defense dollars go “missing” through written-off inventory.

40) "I’m also just hearing Trump at his rally mention Mattis telling him “we’re out of ammo.” Wrong answer...

There's more below, but come on, is this NOT the very President we hired? This is the President who just won a landslide reelection. You can feel it.

41) "The boards Trump is shaking up have been a key broker of over-confidence in Congress in the integrity of defense spending. And, once again, Trump isn’t acting like a POTUS who’s about to leave office."

I think this was posted by J.E., but no matter...WOW!!!

42) We're 5 slides in, with 19 yet to go. Even if I can dive back in again after a pause for bill paying endeavors, we clearly won't get all 19 remaining completed today. At least, not under my commenting. But you can forge on right ahead on your own, here or elsewhere.

43) Be bold. Words matter. Thoughts matter. Reading and study are the foundation of unstoppable action in the real world. Planning and preparation follow reading and study, and then we have glorious EXECUTION. This is no Ivory Tower classroom. It is a MAGA Warfighting Room.

Thread paused at #43.

I may be able to pick up later (hey, I might even get a cancelation and reschedule!). But I will come back and sum up, at least, a bit later on today...

44) I'm back to finish up our meditation. I was looking for it in comments, but couldn't find some delightful advice a friend gave. The message said that a gentle shower is far easier to absorb than a vast deluge, or something like that. I'm going to accept that counsel.

45) I'd like to paint a picture. In any historical movie or TV show where battlefields are populated by opposing forces with no man's land in between, we almost always see both sides find the moment to scream out their battle cries and commence running towards each other.

46) The word for this moment is when Battle Fury takes over and the collective mind of each army can literally see nothing but blood. There is a blood lust, a thirst in the human soul refined against our human enemies as no other species on earth.

47) In the stories of the most strategically minded generals, and the ones with greatest leadership skills, one can feel the growing tension in the troops as the general decides the moment of engagement. In football and hockey, today, we have something called "off sides."

48) Basketball and soccer too, right? This reflects the ancient mandate that the army await the general's orders with patient poise in the face of not only inner rising battle fury, but also, even in the face of incoming missiles and growing physical threat. Tough discipline.

49) That's the subtext I hear in J.E.'s wonderful work. We have a Commander In Chief. We know he's had his eye on this since at least 2018. He's the greatest leader of our lifetimes. Now is NOT the moment to lose faith, hope, or discipline. Now, we hold fast, hold the line.

50) That's my take, and it's where I stand. My rules as a swordsman command me to never flinch, never pounce. I often fail, but I always know what the rules are. Our movement must strive to adhere.

I say again: Never flinch. Never pounce.

Thread ends at #50.

We'll pick up tomorrow with Slide 6. If you can, do some homework yet today, but not too much. Got that?
