RULE 1: “POWER IS NOT ONLY WHAT YOU HAVE, BUT WHAT THE ENEMY THINKS YOU HAVE.”
POWER IS DERIVED FROM 2 MAIN SOURCES – MONEY AND PEOPLE. “HAVE-NOTS” MUST BUILD POWER FROM FLESH AND BLOOD. (THESE ARE TWO THINGS OF WHICH THERE IS A PLENTIFUL SUPPLY. GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATIONS ALWAYS HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME APPEALING TO PEOPLE, AND USUALLY DO SO ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WITH ECONOMIC ARGUMENTS.); RULE 9: “THE THREAT IS USUALLY MORE TERRIFYING THAN THE THING ITSELF.”
IMAGINATION AND EGO CAN DREAM UP MANY MORE CONSEQUENCES THAN ANY ACTIVIST. (PERCEPTION IS REALITY. LARGE ORGANIZATIONS ALWAYS PREPARE A WORST-CASE SCENARIO, SOMETHING THAT MAY BE FURTHEST FROM THE ACTIVISTS’ MINDS. THE UPSHOT IS THAT THE ORGANIZATION WILL EXPEND ENORMOUS TIME AND ENERGY, CREATING IN ITS OWN COLLECTIVE MIND THE DIREST OF CONCLUSIONS. THE POSSIBILITIES CAN EASILY POISON THE MIND AND RESULT IN DEMORALIZATION.)
