Operations and strategy is the same thing.
Unless operations and strategy are married into operations alone, opinions and stated goals are meaningless. This is why BWs effort to create and insinuate powerful words into the public consciousness is critical. BW not only has beliefs and goals, he has an operational means to implement them owing to his ability to create unforgettable phrases that have a good chance of spreading spontaneously.
The Neoconservatives and liberal Democrats prevailed because they focused on operations aimed at dominance through an aggressive operational implementation, realizing that ideology without an implementation is meaningless.
This is why the Conservatives went down, they believed the power and rightness of their beliefs was all they needed and that the operations could be ignored. Hence many are now hanging with Ron Paul, something easy to do for the lazy.
Nevertheless, we are very advantaged in the current environment. Think about it: National Review is irrelevant. Its implementing organization is irrelevant and its publication is irrelevant. The OPERATION of the Internet has made it so.
And the Internet is developmentally iterative. Accordingly, the blogosphere will morph into more effective manifestations and the inventors these new organizations of the Internet’s operation in the social realm will own the world.
Much more is awaiting irrelevancy than National Review.

Deconstructionism at its finest…
Quotes mine…
“Operations and strategy is the same thing.”
And I thought that the phrase “feelin’ groovy” was silly.
I can’t even understand this. It reads like the “statement of purpose” from some local school board.
Maybe my metrics are off balance.
But I will apologize for my primary judgment.
It’s not really deconstructionist.
What I would like is a translation for us dummies….
If you please…
Again, quotes mine…”And the Internet is developmentally iterative. Accordingly, the blogosphere will morph into more effective manifestations and the inventors these new organizations of the Internet’s operation in the social realm will own the world.”
No offense intended, but smart means making the complex simple.
Not the other way around.
And…
Armies won’t march to this.

Brilliant Comment Dave!! Bravo!
FWIW, I am watching the Ron Paul campaign to see IF the internet can overthrow the television polling machine. Bob knows all about the Media and their polling nonsense. They are certainly putting the finishing blows on the ‘established media’. It couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.
Ron Paul will show us just how far this new communication/media tool has come. I care not one bit who is gonna be elected President. As it matters little for our race. Ron Paul is just another Self Hating White Man who ‘hides’ his identity in an ISM. In this instance, it is Libertarianism.
Ron Paul is being celebrated in some White Nationalists circles for two reasons.
1) White Nationalism is Wordism and many White Nationalists are former Paleo Libertarians —hence the connection to the Libertarian Ron Paul. Wordist’s always look for another ‘like’ wordist to work with.
2) Ron Paul is anti-Israel. He has the balls to say what many candidates would LIKE to say about the War and Israel. Many people are coming together to HATE Jews and Ron Paul has become the candidate of choice for them. Some Jews are calling Ron Paul……Ron Nazi Paul. And nothing sells faster to these kids today than something like Ron Nazi Paul.
No matter what happens it should show us the effectiveness of the internet as it stands right now.
