VIDEOS: Stephen Coughlin on Intersectional Lines of Attack and the Maoist Insurgency Model
This is maybe the clearest explanation of the phenomenon destroying the West across multiple lines of attack yet by Maj. Coughlin. There is a summary of the interview at RAIR. But watch the interview. It is well worth the time.
We have charted major increases in violence and kinetic tactics during communist-Islamic anti Western demonstrations, usually under the rubric of “Anti-Israel” or “pro-Palestine” events.
For the past year however, the mask slips now and again, and we hear coded and sometimes open calls for the destruction of the Nation state. Sometimes, the states with the most famously individual rights and individualist constitutions, such as The United States, Canada and the formerly great Britain are named for destruction.. For example in the video below, there is no hidden language. The intention is now overt.
Revolutionaries call for death to Canada, USA and Israel
It is also evident that the State never use even a fraction of the force the authorities have available to it, or has used in many cases, even against peaceful pro-rule of law, and pro-patriotic protests such as Ottawa’s Freedom Convoy in 2022, and peaceful pro-AfD demonstrations in Germany among others.
So we went to Stephen Coughlin, retired US Military Intelligence officer and lawyer to ask for his perspective on the the nature of these protests, understanding their language and motives, and what we can do to deal with the threat effectively.
The following interview is a little under 90 minutes long. And you will not come out the other side unchanged. Understanding the roots of these movements from Karl Marx back to Hegel and ultimately to the classical philosophers of ancient Greece shines a light on the various devices used to trap us into enemy territory and even becoming unwitting accomplices in our own destruction is critical for effective defence.
