Gladwell choke points

 Dear Friends:

Gladwell strikes again! 'choke points'

What are the choke points in the culture war? Prayer, liturgy...?

Gladwell's 'Bomber Mafia' gives rise to the above question.

Summary: The Bomber Mafia wanted to make the next war more humane. They wanted to avoid the million casualties at Some in WWI.
They thus developed the idea of 'choke points'.  What would cripple the enemy's ability to make war? They were helped in this by the Norden bombsight, which allowed pinpoint bombing. Norden was a Christian, explicitly says Gladwell.

Alas, cloud cover put the kabosh on the bombsight. The raid on Schweinfurt, the town with 5 ballbearing factories did not work, despite the courage of LeMay, who said that a non-evasive flight was needed. His pilots said it was suicide, so he piloted the lead bomber.

The same thing happened with Japan, and LeMay again devised how to do it. Low-level night bombing with napalm, which destroyed Japanese cities (wooden houses) by fire. It wasn't only the A-bombs that shortened the war, preventing a Russian invasion which would have resulted in North Japan and South Japan. See East Germany and West Germany.
But the idea of choke points is a good one?
What are they in 5th Generation Warfare of the mind?

PS: Biblically, 'non-destruction of fruit trees is more Norden than LeMay.

McDonogh freed slaves

 Dear Friends:

It appears to me (1) That there is much more slavery than we have thought. To sin, to porn especially, etc. (2) JBJ wrote on this. (3) McDonogh is great on this--a Southerner, let his slaves work for themselves on Saturday afternoons. They bought themselves out of slavery, and had learned independence--this was later outlawed in the South. 
  1. John McDonogh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McDonogh

    John McDonogh (December 29, 1779 – October 26, 1850) was an American entrepreneur whose adult life was spent in south Louisiana and later in Baltimore. He made a fortune in real estate and shipping, and as a slave owner , he supported the American Colonization Society , which organized transportation for freed people of color to Liberia.

    From Wikipedia 'He had devised a manumission scheme whereby the people he held as enslaved could "buy" their own freedom, which took them some 15 years. In his will he provided large grants for the public education of children of poor whites and freed people of color in New Orleans and Baltimore, and by the 1970s some 20 schools in the New Orleans public school system were named for him.'

We should be good at this: 5th Generation Warfare

 5th Generation Warfare. Well-written

' “The basic idea behind this term [5GW] is that in the modern era, wars are not fought by armies or guerrillas, but in the minds of common citizens.”'

Local Christianity

 Dear Friends:

Re: Local Christianity' https://www.amazon.com/Confessional-County-Realizing-Kingdom-Christendom/dp/1513684752
You might study Johnson's 'History of Christianity. He maintains that the Cistercians (monks) developed agriculture in the 'Middle Ages' (He also seems to maintain that as the Roman Empire fell, the 'Christian Empire' rose, as sons of leading families went into administration of monkish subgroups--my interpretation.
Also, Hoppe 'Short History of Man' holds that as civilization falls globally, local leaders/natural leaders will emerge.
Of course, JBJ and ERH both point to neo-tribalism, ERH in his chiasstic view ('Universal History 1954' @ www.erhfund.org--free download of Dartmouth lectures, free transcript too) and JBJ in 'Crisis...'In Jeremiah Time we must both buy the plot of land and work for the good of the city. Bancor's work with community currencies for economic development in Kenya is worth studying, as is Berman's comment in 'Law and Revolution' that in medieval city charter was included the authority to mint local coinage.

Love in King Jesus,
Chuck 'dealmaker for the good of the city' Hartman
PS: In Jay Abraham's GREAT book, 'Getting Everything You Can Oout Of All You've Got' he limns the currency that any business can issue. Also, the history of S&H Green Stamps as currency/trade increasing is worthwhile. There was a store in Perry, Iowa in the 1950s that ONLY sold goods for Gold Bond stamps. (But then I studied Latin in public school then, and we sang a Latin Hymn is the Campbellite church youth program.
