The
context for The Plan: The following provides added context for our efforts.
Empowering Innovation and Action – We realize that a single individual or group cannot solve or
address the tremendous challenges and opposition we face in this ongoing
cognitive war. Many citizens believe the situation is hopeless. This is a false
belief. Power is available to the people. We, the people (citizens) have the
power, we aren’t effectively using that power. We must define the desired future for America we wish,
and proactively engage to realize that future. Or we can continue to react to,
and cede our future to one defined by our enemies. Through the power of the people,
we will solve the root problem – the failure of our public servants to live by
and govern by the letter and spirit of the Republic, the US Constitution, the
Bill of Rights, associated laws, and their Oaths of Office.
Awareness, Empowerment, and Action – We welcome the support and
engagement of all Americans in achieving the apolitical objectives set forth in
this strategy. We stood up this commission to forestall the continued decline
of our nation. We see the ideas and values that a vast majority of Americans
believe in, exemplified by our Constitution and Bill of Rights, under assault
by a minority set of extremists. We must act together to proactively engage and
counter a sinister and dystopian set of ideas driven by a small minority who
neither respects nor abides by the latter documents but instead seeks to
subvert them. Our Republic gains its powers from the people, its citizens. We
are turning to you, the people, to resolve these challenges and restore
America. We will engage with you, our fellow Americans,
to remind, guide, and direct our elected and non-elected public servants that
they serve us – not vice versa. We, the people, hold power in this republic. We
must work together to ensure a limited government, as detailed in the preamble
to our Constitution.
We the People of the United States, in
Order to form a perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility,
provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the
Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish
this Constitution for the United States of America.
American’s
Privilege – We must educate and help Americans realize
that by birth or naturalization, our citizens are the most privileged on this
earth. That this privilege is bestowed on us by those who came before us, many
who paid the ultimate sacrifice. The privilege of being an American comes with
great responsibility. Our future resilience and security depend not on what we
can obtain individually but on what we can do in unity for our nation to
preserve and pass on the greatest privilege that ever existed in the history of
mankind.
The Cognitive War is the Existential Threat – We are in a Cognitive War[2],
domestically and globally. It is “the” existential threat to America and by far
more threatening and impactful than any kinetic war. Why should Americans care?
Because the foundation of our Republic is being washed away below our feet, and
because few understand this hidden war, we are likely to awaken one morning to
find out the republic, our constitution, and our freedoms gone. The ongoing
Cognitive War is true “the” existential threat to our Republic. It is not only
China nor Russia but an internal socialist element seeking absolute power no
matter the cost. If we fail to win the domestic cognitive war, we have no hope of
winning the global cognitive war against China or Russia.
This
cognitive war challenges America continually, domestically and globally. Those
waging the domestic cognitive war are a small but well-organized and effective
minority who seek to disrupt, destroy, undermine, and replace freedom and
democratic values with dystopian and authoritarian models of power and
subjugation. They use varied ways (ideologies like communism, religion, or
issues) and means (education, economic, political) to achieve their desired
ends. They are strategic, well-funded, patient, and methodically execute their
strategy – under the false guise of everyday politics.
Their
primary means is via the application of the socialist doctrine. The socialist
doctrine serves as a model for the indoctrination of students in K-12 education
and our universities. As a result of their indoctrination, our children have
become alienated from our National Heritage. They drive the use of socialist
ideologies like Critical Race Theory (CRT), which is now being taught not only
at our US Military Academy and to soldiers in Basic Training, but in many
classrooms throughout America. It is a doctrine that calls our constitutional
Republic illegitimate, our laws unjust, and the Constitution an instrument for
the institution of racial hatred. These elements call for our constitutional
Republic's overthrow by denouncing the legality of our founding documents.
Their
socialist doctrine calls for their followers to lie, cheat, and steal to
acquire political power and to preserve a monopoly on political power once in
office. Lenin, Mao, and Saul Alinsky called for followers to commit all crimes
to advance the revolution. Consequently, we see extreme criminal conduct from
the “summer of love” in 2020 to the weaponization of our federal agencies by a
few miscreant leaders seeking to advance a one-party monopoly of political
power by applying a two-tier justice system that protects their socialist
allies from prosecution, while abusing the laws against political opponents
using false allegations of criminal conduct.
Those leading the dystopian legions are
deceitful, drive false narratives, and actively exploit our laws, institutions,
freedoms, and governance to advance their desired dystopian, tyrannical, and
authoritarian government models. Their dystopian governance models are an
abomination to our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and God-given rights. Those
leading this war encompass both foreign and domestic actors.
While
the socialist elements have no limits on their efforts to destroy their
political opponents, we see those opposing such mayhem behave in accordance
with the Lord’s Commandments and ancient rules of order that bind no one except
themselves. Most still naively believe that what we are
witnessing in America is just everyday politics. No! It is a blood sport, a
domestic cognitive war for absolute power. Thus, we find ourselves competing on an
uneven playing field in an unjust contest between good and evil. We can no longer ignore this war. The line between freedom and tyranny
is thin and gray. We must act or lose our Republic!
The
American people see our traditional heritage and the constitutional order are
in danger of being abolished and history erased. Over seventy percent of our
fellow citizens believe our country is headed in the wrong direction. This plan offers the ways and means to ensure a desired end - the
resilience and security of our Republic for tomorrow and future generations of
Americans and those seeking like freedoms throughout the world.
The Challenge is to Awaken to Reality – The challenge is awakening the American people, our political,
military, and other leaders to the reality of this ongoing domestic and global cognitive
war. What we are seeing unfold is not just normal politics. For the extremists,
it is a blood sport for absolute power. We must awaken to fight against those
who seek to destroy our Republic, our way of life, our independence, and our freedoms.
To do so we must begin focusing not on political, racial, religious, economic,
or other categories being used to divide us – but by focusing on the fact that we
are all Americans who seek to live and enjoy the freedoms, opportunities, and
security of our Republic. The challenge is helping all Americans to understand that
this is a perpetual war, not limited to our generation, one that will continue
as long as mankind exists. Evil does exist in this world, and it is persistent
in its efforts – we cannot ignore it, hide from it, or defeat it unless we act
with purpose and remain resolved.
Our Constitutional Order is not a conspiracy
to commit suicide. It is a civic culture created by the founders to preserve
the freedom and liberties of the people. Traitors have no right to usurp the
rights of citizens to destroy the rights of citizens and their constitutional
order. Those seeking to destroy our constitutional order are traitors
perpetrating crimes against our Republic. They must be removed from our
classrooms and the public square. They must be tried and punished for their
crimes. Moreover, every state and local official must uphold the law.
The impudence of the
dystopian extremists to openly rebel against our Constitution, the Republic,
and the rule of law must be ended. We have the right and the authority as the
free people of the USA to defend the Constitution. It is our right to oppose
those who abuse academic freedom in the name of communist insurrection and
overthrow of the government. We have the right to remove traitors from public
office. We have the right to remove books from our classrooms and libraries
that violate our laws by advocating treason.
The
Federal government needs to be more suited to restoring freedom at the state
and local levels. The work must be carried out by exercising the power of the
states and citizens. We must identify and hold those public servants who fail
to uphold their oath of office, abide by our laws, or are complicit and corrupt
in subverting our Constitution accountable and removing them from public
service.
We
see such in the growth of a counter-revolution originating in neighborhoods
across the country. It is a revolution of parents disgusted with the indoctrination
and sexualization of their children in public institutions by so-called
“professionals” stating that they know what is best for the children and who
believe parents should have no rights in determining the contents of their
child’s education. These Marxist culprits have detonated the bomb of immorality
intended to destroy the family and take down the constitutional order. It is
already destroying countless lives. The restoration of academic freedom, free
speech, and freedom of the pressing demand that those pushing socialist and
extremist ideologies, ideas, and revised history be eliminated from the unions
and the educational system: school boards, city councils, school
administrations, and classrooms.
A Call to Action – Americans can no longer ignore the
social, moral, and political collapse occurring before us. We must believe what
we see, not what we hear. We must move our political discourse from the
emotional to the logical and practical to resolve the subversion of our
Republic via our own systems of education, governance, justice, and national
security. We must address and ensure the solvency of our country by refuting an
obscene growth in the federal bureaucracy and overindulgence in spending, as it
sacrifices the flexibility and security of future generations. And we must
better explain and gain the acceptance of Americans to understand that the
resilience of our Republic and national security requires giving back to one’s
country and at times, sacrifice. It is ill-conceived and irresponsible to saddle
future generations with more outstanding debt and challenges. It is ill-conceived
to allow a small minority of radical elements to dictate our future, subvert
our governance, and destroy our republic. Each generation of America must
emulate our founders, and the greatest generation, by not only sacrificing for
the greater good of our nation but also ensuring they leave a stronger, more
resilient foundation for future generations to ensure the resilience and
security of our Republic. We have been silent too long. Let us defend our
rights. Let us act together in restoring America[3].

Cognitive War is primarily an ideological war,
between tyranny and freedom, control and independence, subjugation, and
democracy. It is a war fought primarily in the cognitive domain, using various
means to influence (e.g., academic, economic, agriculture, social, etc.), but
which can include irregular warfare and kinetics. It is a war that has been
ongoing for more than a millennium. It is timeless as mankind exists. The
cognitive war is truly an existential threat that is global and domestic. In
today’s U.S.A, few understand it, can defend against it, can compete in it, or
win it. It can be won, but not if we are unwilling to learn and change.; Edward
L. Haugland, 2019.
