•Infiltration and isolation
•Blitz and guerrillas infiltrate a nation or regime at all
levels to soften and shatter the moral fiber of
the political, economic and social structure. Simultaneously, via diplomatic, psychological,
and various sub-rosa or other activities, they strip-away potential allies
thereby isolate intended victim(s) for forthcoming blows. To
carry out this program, a la Sun Tzu, blitz, and
guerrillas:
–Probe and test adversary, and any
allies that may rally to his side, in order to unmask strengths,
weaknesses, maneuvers, and intentions.
–Exploit critical differences of
opinion, internal contradictions, frictions, obsessions, etc., in order to
foment mistrust, sow discord and shape both adversary’s and allies’ perception
of the world thereby:
•Create atmosphere of “mental
confusion, contradiction of feeling, indecisiveness, panic” …
•Manipulate or undermine adversary’s
plans and actions.
•Make it difficult, if not
impossible, for allies to aid adversary during his time of trial.
–
•Purpose
•Force capitulation when combined
with external political, economic, and military pressures
•or
•Weaken foe to minimize his
resistance against military blows that will follow.
