Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)
Defense is that exclusion zone of the body and mind we erect to protect ourselves from predatory actions that would cause us harm; bodily, psychologically, spiritually and technologically.
Offense is that set of strategies and there resulting tactics taken to protect ourselves from predatory actions that would cause us harm; bodily, psychologically, spiritually and technologically.
Reactionary is that action based on the reality of an attack in the now, the present moment and to our total and complete surprise. Reactionary is that status humans are in now in this most modern technological society. We are currently in a state of denial and ignorance because of some very human frailties and a lack of evolutionary progression. What?
Lets take a look at how we currently defend, we build what we have come to believe as acceptable technological oriented software driven security measures to create what we assume are impenetrable walls of protection but that is just not so. The defending software driven security measures are playing a dual role, role of defender and offensive protection that are believed within the same software techie security measures.
“The defender must build a perfect wall to keep out all intruders, while the offense need find only one chink in the armor through which to attack.” - Marc Goodman, Future Crimes.
Lets add in another human frailties or short coming that makes us even more vulnerable and easy prey, our linear thinking processes. The human condition is still based on survival instincts of when we roamed the plains of the Serengeti running to avoid being eaten by the larger predators such as Lions, Leopards, etc. We didn’t and still don’t need much more than linear thinking processes to survive but then again with the rapid spread of technology and the growth of predatory technological process and resource attack strategies and tactics we have to either stop or find a way to protect ourselves as individuals, families and societies. We need iSD or Information Self-Defense/Internet Self-Defense, etc.
The key word now is, “Proactive in Offensive Strategies and Tactics.” Not defensive for that is what we do now, spend an exorbitant amount of time, energy and expense to build a wall to give us security and safety while we fail to put our Military on that wall with all the tools and equipment to protect us. If we fail to think outside the box and take the fight to the adversary before they can act we are doomed to build the wall and miss all the chinks therein that are the only means an adversary needs to get in our space and cause us grate harm.
When the attack and we simply react, do we have the training, tools and understanding to respond or react adequately and will that be enough? Reaction means we have been put into a mind-state directed on that attack while other strategies and maneuvers of the same attackers are breaching our protective walls faster than our administrators can patch them. Patching like many such security strategies is a short-term solution in the hopes it will provide us the time, very little time too, to build a better wall.
In truth, my strategy is to create tactics that take the fight to the attackers, the enemy, to take them out quickly, silently and with deadly intent. My strategy is to create a war zone where the enemy fears to tread for the repercussions of attacking us are just too high. The basic flaw here is this, “It cannot be done alone, individually, but only as a knowledgable collective toward technological survival.
Yet, it starts with the individual. All armies of any society is first made up of trained individuals whose training led them to a more cohesive collective of military that makes up an Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines.
Lets cover the human factor a bit. First, we defend and protect through the use of eyes, ears and tactile or touch senses. Here is the rub regarding this new and unique battle zone, it exists outside of the senses for we cannot see them, we cannot hear them and we cannot touch them. If humans cannot see, hear or touch something they tend to ignore it but that is the true danger of the technological war and war zone. We have to take it upon ourselves to make is so personal that we can take back the initiative and get the job done much like the Marines hitting the beaches of histories landing shores.
We have to find some way to make our human linear minds see that the Lion is on the hunt for fresh meat and we have “Fresh Meat” stenciled across our foreheads. We have to take the hunt to the Lion, track them, unearth their dens and then eliminate them as a threat.
This is how I plan to take my articles, to present ideas, thoughts and theories that can, would and could lead us to a more proactive status, to take the fight to them and put them in a reactionary defensive posture.
