The American Insurgency Humint (HUMan INTelligence)

PDF Print

BRIEF: In his contact with the press this past week Texas governor Rick Perry seemed to deny any aspirations to run for president, rather he said that his desire was to work with other governors to decrease the role of the federal government in the individual states and in the lives of the American people. In other words, “Don’t mess with Texas and other states for the good of the people!”

The main media emphasis this past week seems to deal with the intrusiveness of TSA airport screening. To paraphrase the governor’s Texas slogan, “Don’t mess with my junk.” Of course the specific “junk” referenced signifies the touching of a person’s genitalia, but if left at that level misses the point. The underlying force behind all the uproar however truly stems from the increasing federal government interference in individual rights of material reproduction. In other words don’t mess with my literal junk, or perhaps more appropriate, quit messing with my lifestyle.

Some in the media have stated that this whole thing just points to a spoiled immaturity in the American people, inferring we need these measures to keep the flying public safe. However in the context of the insurgency humint, the real problem lies with the government itself and its efforts to focus only on the material and homogenous political correctness; rather than the hearts, minds, and realities of the people the government is called to serve.

ANALYSIS: Where do we begin this attempt discuss the rise of this insurgency clash of traditional American values with a century of increasing intellectual progressive government interference in their lives?

It is important to understand that we are dealing with two radically divergent streams of thought. These divergences work their way out into the real world in the form of totally irreconcilable worldviews, where through governance, we have two nations at odds trying to form and control a nation state. As stated in the opening Brief, one reality states, “Don’t mess with my junk!” The other reality states simply that, “We need to mess with your junk to provide for the common good.”

These realities really lie at the heart of physical warfare, so to dismiss these concepts to just the junk, overly simplifies the human element. The American Revolution was an example of the success of one reality. The rapidly following French Revolution was an example of the other. As we pointed out in last week’s “elusive world” this current American insurgency thus far has been focused upon “votes, ideas, and organization and achieving the moral high ground.” This is the means of a successful and lasting insurgency, but also its greatest weakness for it focuses upon individual rights and over time has the tendency to deny the common individual responsibility.
