Celebrate and then on to the next battle


Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated.

To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

The clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him.

We cannot enter into alliances until we are acquainted with the designs of our neighbors.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete.

              - Sun Tzu

Sending in the Goon Squads - Jams for the Revolution


As described by NBC Nightly News, paid "goon squads" create some chaos in Cairo's Tahrir Square on  February 2, 2011.

As always with the main stream media ~ Read Between the Lines

I was looking to the past for some background jams for the revolution. Jimi Hendrix seemed appropriate.
