Strategic Aims

The first diagram below is a completed sample of a ‘defense/liberation strategy document’: a succinct summary of an entire nonviolent defense/nonviolent liberation strategy.

This diagram will give you an idea of how your own defense/liberation strategy document should look so that activists implementing your strategy can readily see what you are all doing.

Using the blank version of the strategy document at the bottom of this page (which you can download), write in the political purpose – ‘what you want’ – of your defense/liberation strategy. The two strategic aims – ‘how you get what you want’ – are already defined and printed into the document (because they are always the same).

RJB-NDdiag-PurpAims

Now you just need to define your strategic goals for both the defense and each of the three domains of the strategic counteroffensive. From your political and strategic assessment:

(1) identify the key social groups that can be mobilized to support and participate in your strategy (and then write these groups into the ‘bubbles’ on the left side of the blank diagram below),

(2) identify the key military, police and paramilitary forces whose support for the coup/invasion/occupation/dictatorship/genocide is vital (and then write these groups into the first column on the right side of the blank diagram below),

(3) identify the key social groups in the society of the opponent elite (the key constituencies of the global elite in the case of a coup against humanity, another country in the case of an invasion/occupation – and possibly genocide – and your own country in the case of a coup/dictatorship – and possibly genocide) whose support for the coup/invasion/occupation/dictatorship/genocide is vital (and then write these groups into the second column on the right side of the blank diagram below), and

(4) identify the key social groups in the societies of your opponent elite’s allies whose support for the coup/invasion/occupation/dictatorship/genocide is vital (and then write these groups into the third column on the right side of the blank diagram below).

Your strategic goals should then be written in accordance with the formula explained in this article: ‘The Political Objective and Strategic Goal of Nonviolent Actions’. That is: ‘To cause a [specified group of people] to act in the [specified way]’.

In turn below, I have identified the basic set of strategic goals that would usually be appropriate for:

1. defeating the attempt by the Global Elite to gain total political, economic, social, physical and spiritual control of the human population and all of Earth’s natural resources through implementation of ‘The Great Reset’ and the transhumanist agenda,
2. defeating a political or military coup against a popular government,
3. defeating a military invasion,
4. removing a military occupation,
5. removing a dictatorship, and
6. defeating a genocidal assault.

1. Strategic goals for defeating the attempt by the Global Elite to gain total political, economic, social, physical and spiritual control of the human population and control of all of Earth’s natural resources through implementation of ‘The Great Reset’ and the transhumanist agenda (and which conform to the formula described above) include those listed below.

Of course, individual groups within the defense would usually accept responsibility for focusing their work on achieving just one or two of the strategic goals in a local context. It is the responsibility of the struggle’s strategic leadership (if there is one) to ensure that each of the strategic goals (identified and prioritized according to local circumstances) is being addressed (or to prioritize if resource limitations require this).

(1) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by wearing a global symbol of human solidarity, such as an image of several people of different genders/races/religions/abilities/classes holding hands or, more simply, an orange ribbon, wristband or armband.

(2) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by boycotting all government and corporate media outlets (television, radio, newspapers, Facebook, Twitter…) and by seeking news from progressive news outlets committed to telling the truth.

(3) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by conscientiously refusing to download the Covid-19 ‘contact tracing’ surveillance app and conscientiously refusing to engage in any other activity related to contact tracing.

(4) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by conscientiously ending their ownership and use of a mobile (cell) phone – see ‘EchoEarth: End Cell Phones Here on Earth’ and ‘Cancel Your Cellphone Account’ and by otherwise strategically resisting the deployment of 5G. For a list of specific strategic goals for halting the deployment of 5G, see ‘Strategic Goals for Halting the Deployment of 5G’.

(5) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by conscientiously refusing to participate in initiatives to digitize personal identity, including by using biometric or other personal data acquired through such measures as DNA testing; finger/palm printing; and iris, facial and voice recognition technologies.

(6) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by paying with cash (and boycotting digital transactions) while withdrawing all funds from the corporate banks and depositing their money in local community banks or credit unions. Given the likelihood that the financial system will be deliberately crashed at some point, storing cash and making the effort to become more self-reliant, particularly in food production, will also increase your resilience, as will participating in local trading schemes, whether involving local currencies or goods and services directly.

(7) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by boycotting the medical and pharmaceutical industries and by seeking health advice and treatment from natural therapists.

(8) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by conscientiously refusing to submit to vaccination, which is likely to include nanotechnology that will subvert your individual identity, freedom, dignity, volition and privacy including through a ‘digital vaccine passport’ (possibly delivered via a microneedle platform using fluorescent microparticles called ‘quantum dots’, which can deliver vaccines and at the same time invisibly encode vaccination history directly in the skin). For example, this might include causing doctors to resist performing Covid-19 ‘vaccinations’, especially without informed consent. It might include causing pilots and air traffic controllers, as well as drivers of air, land and water transport (including military transport) and construction machinery such as cranes, to refuse to take vaccinations on account of the potentially catastrophic dangers to the community if they have a negative reaction to these experimental products while working. It might include causing workers in your workplace to support our right to choose not to be vaccinated (a choice which, in relation to all medical procedures including any below, is enshrined in the Nuremberg Code, 1947 which guarantees the right to informed consent).

(9) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by organizing and/or participating in collective events (such as a cultural, religious or sporting event, a nonviolent action, a community activity such as working to establish a community garden to increase local self-reliance, a celebration and/or a return to work) that conscientiously resist the Covid-19 lockdowns. For example, this might include causing small/family businesses of all types (such as restaurants and hairdressers, for instance), preferably acting in concert with similar and/or other businesses, to remain open in defiance of orders to close during lockdowns.

(10) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by organizing and/or participating in events that conscientiously refuse to maintain social distance.

(11) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by conscientiously refusing to volunteer for, or submit to, Covid-19 testing/temperature checks.

(12) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by conscientiously resisting the wearing of face masks.

(13) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by boycotting corporate supermarkets (such as Walmart) and online outlets (such as Amazon) and by supporting small and family businesses, and local markets.

(14) To cause teachers, childcare workers, social workers, counsellors, psychologists and other professionals whose work relies on natural, face-to-face communications and interactions to refuse to use or enforce mask-wearing or social distancing.

(15) To cause building companies, architects and workers to conscientiously refuse to contribute their expertise and labor to the building or retrofitting of quarantine facilities.

(16) To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by participating in other locally relevant nonviolent action(s)/campaign(s) and/or constructive program activities. For this item and many subsequent, see the list of possible nonviolent actions in the document ‘198 Tactics of Nonviolent Action’.

(17) To cause the military personnel, military police and military contractors (mercenaries) [in air force, army, navy, marines, special forces or mercenary units AU1, AU2, AU… and MP1, MP2, MP…] to refuse to obey orders from the global elite and its agents to arrest, assault, torture and shoot nonviolent activists and the other citizens of [your country].

(18) To cause the police [in police units P1, P2, P…] in [your country] to resist the introduction and use of those surveillance and control technologies – including (among many others) 5G, 6G, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), geofencing, smart street poles and lights (which gather data via facial recognition cameras and environmental sensors, display digital signage and use speakers to instruct the immediate population how to behave), digital identity, surveillance and facial recognition cameras, license plate readers, vehicle kill switches, drones (used as aerial police), robots (including as a ‘deadly force option’), autonomous and electromagnetic weapons – that are being used to transform policing to collect your data and control your behaviour as part of the ongoing Elite program to build a technocratic prison that will subvert human identity, human dignity, human volition, human privacy and/or human freedom.

(19) To cause the police [in police units P1, P2, P…] to refuse to obey orders from the global elite and its agents to arrest, assault, torture and shoot nonviolent activists and the other citizens of [your country].

(20) To cause security personnel [in units SP1, SP2, SP…] in [your country] to resist the introduction and use of those surveillance and control technologies – including (among many others) 5G, 6G, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), geofencing, smart street poles and lights (which gather data via facial recognition cameras and environmental sensors, display digital signage and use speakers to instruct the immediate population how to behave), digital identity, surveillance and facial recognition cameras, license plate readers, vehicle kill switches, drones (used as aerial police), robots (including as a ‘deadly force option’), autonomous and electromagnetic weapons – that are being used to transform policing to collect your data and control your behaviour as part of the ongoing Elite program to build a technocratic prison that will subvert human identity, human dignity, human volition, human privacy and/or human freedom.

(21) To cause security personnel [in units SP1, SP2, SP…] to refuse to obey orders from the global elite and its agents to arrest, assault, torture and shoot nonviolent activists and the other citizens of [your country].

(22) To cause people all around the world fined for breaking ‘pandemic’-related health laws and regulations (mask wearing, social distancing and lockdown restrictions, including curfews, local and wider travel restrictions, ‘non-essential’ work bans and business closures) to refuse to pay their fines and continue to conscientiously break these laws/regulations, accepting time in jail as a prisoner of conscience if necessary.

(23) To cause public servants in government bureaucracies to refuse to comply with directives (such as those in relation to vaccination compliance, deployment of 5G, surveillance and imposition of financial penalties) that are designed to facilitate implementation of ‘The Great Reset’, the fourth industrial revolution and the transhumanist agenda.

(24) To cause corporations and small businesses to refuse to do any research or undertake any work associated with the fourth industrial revolution and/or transhumanism, to develop and make available technologies (including those in relation to 5G and 6G, military weapons, artificial intelligence [AI], digital identity, big data, nanotechnology and biotechnology, robotics, the Internet of Things [IoT], the Internet of Bodies [IoB], the Internet of Senses [IoS], quantum computing, surveillance and the metaverse) that will subvert human identity, human dignity, human volition, human privacy and/or human freedom.

(25) To cause civilian and military scientists and technologists to refuse to do any research or undertake any work, associated with the fourth industrial revolution and/or transhumanism, to develop and make available technologies (including 5G and 6G, military weapons, artificial intelligence [AI], digital identity, big data, nanotechnology and biotechnology, robotics, the Internet of Things [IoT], the Internet of Bodies [IoB], the Internet of Senses [IoS], quantum computing, surveillance and the metaverse) that will subvert human identity, human dignity, human volition, human privacy and/or human freedom.

(27) To cause consumers to refuse to buy or otherwise acquire any product associated with the fourth industrial revolution and/or transhumanism (including those in relation to 5G and 6G, military weapons, artificial intelligence [AI], digital identity, big data, nanotechnology and biotechnology, robotics, the Internet of Things [IoT], the Internet of Bodies [IoB], the Internet of Senses [IoS], quantum computing, surveillance and the metaverse) the outcome of which is intended to subvert human identity, human dignity, human volition, human privacy and/or human freedom.

(28) To cause the workers [in trade unions or labor organizations T1, T2, T…] all around the world to join the resistance strategy by participating in locally relevant nonviolent action(s)/campaign(s) and/or constructive program activities. For example, this might include withdrawing labor from an elite-controlled bank, or technology, media, pharmaceutical or other corporation operating in your country. In other workplaces, it might include a return to work in defiance of lockdown closures.

(29) To cause the small farmers and farmworkers [in organizations F1, F2, F…] all around the world to join the resistance strategy by participating in locally relevant nonviolent action(s)/campaign(s) and/or constructive program activities. For example, this might include distributing farm produce through (existing or created) grassroots networks to small and family businesses as well as local markets rather than through corporate supply chains.

(30) To cause the indigenous peoples [in organizations IP1,IP2, IP…] all around the world to join the resistance strategy by participating in locally relevant nonviolent action(s)/campaign(s) and/or constructive program activities. For example, this might include utilizing indigenous knowledge to improve local self-reliance in food production and in other ways.

(40) To cause the foreign managers and technical workers [working for resource extraction corporations X1, X2, X…] who are from [third party country 3P1, 3P2, 3P… where the national elite supports the global elite] to withdraw from [your country].

(41) To cause the workers in [trade union or labor organizations T4, T5, T…] in [key third party countries 3P1, 3P2, 3P… where the national elite supports the global elite] to interrupt the supply of military weapons to [your country].

(42) To cause the workers in [trade unions or labor organizations T7, T8, T…] in [key third party countries 3P1, 3P2, 3P… where the national elite supports the global elite] to interrupt the transport of military personnel and military weapons to [your country].

As you can see, the two strategic aims are achieved via a series of intermediate strategic goals.

Not all of the strategic goals will need to be achieved for the strategy to be successful but each goal is focused in such a way that its achievement will functionally undermine the power of the global elite.

2. Strategic goals that would usually be appropriate for resisting a political or military coup against a popular government (and which conform to the formula described above) include those listed below. It should be noted, however, that the list of strategic goals would be considerably longer as individual organizations – notably including each corporation involved in or supporting the coup, particularly those involved in the media, banking and resource extraction that help to maintain it – should be specified separately.

Of course, individual groups within the defense would usually accept responsibility for focusing their work on achieving just one or two of the strategic goals. It is the responsibility of the struggle’s strategic leadership to ensure that each of the strategic goals (identified and prioritized according to local circumstances) is being addressed (or to prioritize if resource limitations require this).

(1) To cause the women in [women’s organizations WO1, WO2, WO…] in [your country] to join the resistance strategy by participating in [your nominated nonviolent action(s)/campaign(s) and/or constructive program activities].

As you can see, the two strategic aims are achieved via a series of intermediate strategic goals.

3. Strategic goals that would usually be appropriate for defeating a military invasion (and which conform to the formula described above) include those listed below. Importantly, it should be noted, that if there is a coalition of invading countries, the list of strategic goals should specify that each country is targeted for each of the actions specified below (unless a particular goal is considered irrelevant in the case of one or more countries). In addition, the list of strategic goals would be considerably longer as individual organizations – notably including each corporation involved in or supporting the invasion, particularly those involved in the media, banking and resource extraction – should be specified separately.

(1) To cause the women in [women’s organizations WO1, WO2, WO…] in [your area/country] to join the defense strategy by participating in [your nominated nonviolent action(s)/campaign(s) and/or constructive program activities].
