The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 517
that combined war that goes beyond limits is first of all a way of thinking, and
only afterwards is it a method.
1916
They further write:
Faced with the far-reaching influence of military and non-military
conflicts in every corner of the world, only if we break through the various kinds
of boundaries in the models of our line of thought, take the various domains
which are so completely affected by warfare and turn them into playing cards
deftly shuffled in our skilled hands, and thus use beyond-limits strategy and
tactics to combine all the resources of war, can there be the possibility that we
will be confident of victory....
During a war between two countries, during the fighting and killing by
two armies, is it necessary to use special means to wage psychological war aimed
at soldiers’ families far back in the rear area? When protecting a country’s
financial security, can assassination be used to deal with financial speculators?
Can “surgical” strikes be made without a declaration of war against areas which
are sources of drugs or other smuggled goods? Can special funds be set up to
exert greater influence on another country’s government and legislature through
lobbying? And could buying or gaining control of stocks be used to turn another
country’s newspapers and television stations into the tools of media warfare?
1917
Liang and Xiangsui identify twelve primary means of non-traditional warfare that can be
used against the US to weaken it. At least seven of these tactics are in use by the US against
other nations. The Chinese are currently using some if not all of these tactics against America or
other nations. These tactics include:
1.
“Financial warfare” – This entails entering and subverting both the banking and stock
markets and manipulating the values of a targeted currency.
2.
“Smuggling warfare” – This entails sabotaging a rival country’s economy by flooding its
markets with illegal goods, and jeopardizing a local economy by flooding the market with
pirated products.
3.
“Cultural warfare” – This entail influencing the cultural biases of a targeted country by
imposing your own cultural viewpoint. This could include subverting the traditional
religion and religious values of a nation.
4.
“Drug warfare” – This entails flooding illicit drugs across an enemies national borders
and thereby, through the sale and use of these drugs, breaking down and destroying the
society of the nation.
5.
“Media and fabrication warfare” – This entails manipulating foreign media, either by
compromising or intimidating journalists or getting access to another country’s airwaves
and imposing your own national perspectives. A tactic the Russians are said to have used
is the financing of violent films in America before they were commonplace.
6.
“Technological warfare” – This entails gaining control of or having an edge in particular
