Our new Swarm format allows me us to count the number of Swarm, and separately the number of separate people making them.
What is critical here is the demonstration of a point I keep ,making: In our seminar you learn the difference between real political struggle and what most people see it as. Most people see politics as torch light parades or the thousands at a rally when The Candidate shows up at a news clip rally.
Compared to their effect, our numbers are miniscule.
If you read the Swarm you will see more than one commenter saying that he noted a link and they SWARMED it.
On the other side, they are bitching about the repetition of the Mantra and swearing they are going to explode when it is repeated AGAIN.
Yet the total number of people reporting in is far less than a hundred in the time since the new format took over.
That’s no torchlight parade. That’s no cheering TV rally clip.
But it IS a Swarm.
This is a simple and critical point.
It is the Alamo and the three hundred Spartans, hopefully in reverse.
How did a hundred and twenty men with muzzle loaders hold off five thousand Mexicans coming in wave after wave? A single real assault weapon today could put out more fire than all those men combined.
I have a strong suspicion one reason was that about every time one of those muzzle loaders fired, a Mexican fell.
Yes, it was a small front, but still, how were tens of thousands of Persians not be able to bear down three hundred men?
Because the three hundred men were Spartiates. They spent their entire lives learning nothing but battle.
Our numbers in Swarm are greatly inferior to either the Alamo or the Thermopylae.
This is a total contradiction to all the Stormfronters who think in terms of a Torchlight parade of millions or a March on Rome. They are puffing and blowing while our Spartiates, our Texans, are a handful in there doing the job.
If the Torchlighters had been at the Alamo or Thermopylae they would have run.
That is why BUGS has more effect, by far, in a month than all the Stormfront chest-beaters have in years.
Every time we shoot we hit one of Santa Anna’s invaders.

Still loving the war.
If I`m not posting links much it`s because i`m marauding them.
This is amusing:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100100911/if-david-starkey-is-racist-then-so-is-everybody/
So it could have been me that fell into the BBC’s “raaaacist” trap instead of poor old David Starkey.
It’s a cheap trick but one that goes down very well at the BBC, which is why they have Jones back so often. What it achieves, while cleverly avoiding the need for debate on facts (never the liberal-Left’s strong point), is to imply that anyone on the right is evil, selfish, bullying, wrong or – that ne plus ultra of Lefty insults – raaaacist.”

It only takes one person to think correctly and accurately, and that person becomes one hell of a taskmaster.

The only links I have seen in BUGS Swarm are for the English language.
As for Iceland – we have a Facebook group where links are posted for the Icelandic language.
The War is waged on many other languages fronts, I hope, even though they do not come up here at BUGS 😉

I really enjoy using the foreign language mantras.Even on a English speaking Youtube link,you`ll get the odd non-English comment here and there.I then give them the foreign mantra,and the English speakers get to see what a serious outfit we are.
