As you will notice in the coming days, some changes are being made here at “Nous Defions!” These changes have been made in the interest of making this blog more reader-friendly for non-SOF military personnel in it's conveyance of what is, essentially, professional information that demands some level of pre-existing professional knowledge to make the most sense.
To start, I will be returning to the foundational theory of unconventional warfare, from both a historical and a current doctrinal context. I have had nearly 55,000 views of this material, in just over a month of writing, yet I still receive several email requests each week to cover information that has already been discussed, in varying levels of detail. In order to curtail the wasted effort of those readers, I will start over, with a general introduction to Unconventional Warfare Theory, particularly as I believe it does, or will, pertain to future resistance activities in the United States of America, against the ever-increasing encroachments of the statist agenda.
Second, I will refrain from my previous, intellectually dishonest referrals to “potential future resistance personnel.” The reality is, we are, each of us already members of the resistance. We have simply not started active counter-measures yet. This is NOT to be misconstrued as a call to action. That is not my place, and I do not want it to be my place.
Third, while I will continue to provide narrative discussions of the underlying concepts of small-unit tactics, techniques, and procedures in unconventional warfare, training programs-of-instruction outlines, and individual and collective task training outlines, I will abstain from posting op-ed pieces. Not because I believe these are unimportant, but because I believe that the inane comments they sometimes elicit detract from the mission-focus of this blog's key intent: to convey critical unconventional warfare TTPs and concepts to members of the resistance (for the record, I really don't give two shits whether or not you agree with my specific politics. If I offend you by stating my opinion that your favorite libertarian guru is full-of-shit on a given subject, or because I happen to think that the vast majority of your neighbors are statist lackeys who prefer the taste of boot leather and Kiwi polish to the sweat of earning and keeping their liberties, or because I somehow offend your delicate Aryan-supremacist, anti-Semitic horseshit worldview...I really could not possibly give less of a shit. Get over your self-righteous inferiority complexes and drive the fuck on!).
I am providing this information, garnered through the blood, sweat, and tears of myself and my colleagues within the U.S. Military special operations community, for fucking free, because I believe it is coming down to the point where it will be up to individual citizens and bands of partisans, to ensure the re-birth and lasting survival of the constitutional American dream, rather than the organized security forces of the United States government (the first dumb motherfucker that comments on this about how the Constitution was a Hamiltonian power-grab and that anarchy is superior to any form of governance, needs to email me through the blog with their contact information. I will personally pay for a one-way ticket to Somalia, or another suitably anarchic society, in order for you to put your precious, assinine, and unrealistic theories to the test).
I am not a Democrat. I am not a Republican. I am not a member of some “Aryan” resistance movement. I am a republican individualist who really just wants to be left the fuck alone to raise my family. My first concern is my family. My second is my community. My third is the restoration of the Republic. This third concern is the reason I write this blog.
For those SF and SOF veterans, and any others who may understand the reference, I am not now, nor was I ever, a member of the SFU. This blog is not, in any way, shape, or form, related to the TR newsletter. I agree with some of what SFC B had to say, but certainly not all of it.
This new format is intended to provide new information weekly, in three areas:
- an in-depth discussion of some aspect of UW at the strategic and/or operational level.
- A description of a critical individual or collective training task. This will be presented in the standard format of task, conditions, standards used through soldier training publications and mission-training plans by the U.S. Army, because I believe that is the best format for describing these in a manner that even a novice can comprehend and utilize.
- An ongoing series of articles on developing specific programs-of-instruction to assist readers in developing training for the critical skills they will need to know and understand in the future.
Some of the information I will provide in the coming pages will be repeated from previous articles. Some will be a different outlook on the same subjects. Some will be completely different, and perhaps occasionally seem contradictory (although it won't be—the doctrine works pretty well across operational environments).
I will, in the future, include SOME photographic reference material, when I am able to do so without jeopardizing the PERSEC considerations of my family, associates, or myself.
I am providing you with more than ample material to help you develop a comprehensive personal and organizational training program. It is up to you to actually implement it. If you choose to simply sit in front of the computer, playing Call-Of-Duty: Black Ops, instead of getting out of your mother's basement and training, do not in the future, whine about how Sergeant Mosby was an asshole who did not provide you with adequate training information to face the threats that are “suddenly” confronting you. It's on you to do the work.
As I mentioned, I am currently in the process of updating and hardening my PERSEC considerations. If there are any delays in implementing the described changes, it is a result of the challenges of performing these updates. I assure yo that I will continue posting these articles until either A) the federals shut down the internet with their SOPA/PIPA horseshit, or B) I am compromised and have to go either further underground, or I am interred at Guantanamo Bay as an enemy terrorist, or I am killed repelling a home invasion by Stasi-wannabe stormtroopers.
Nous Defions!
John Mosby
Somewhere in the mountains
Post-Script:
As was previously mentioned, I am available to travel and present clinics on selected aspects of training. I will not do so for free. While I don't need the money, I do need to be sure I am able to support my family while taking time off my real job to help YOU. If there is interest in this, I will travel to the following states: New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota (western region only), and South Dakota (western region only). I will charge a very reasonably amount in order to cover my expenses to travel, missed wages from my real job, lodging for my family while in the local operational area, and the cost of any ammunition I may need for my personnal weapons to demonstrate specific skills. I estimate it will cost me around $1000-1500 to conduct a three-day weekend seminar. I will train any number of personnel for that price, up to ten at a time (for the reader from California who queried me on this: check your email. If I can determine a way to traverse that obstacle, I am still willing to do it for you, once).
Thank you Sgt Mosby for all that you are doing to prepare us for the future.
ReplyDeleteJM,
ReplyDeleteI've learned much from you so far Sir. Thanks for the info that you post! I'm not current or ex- military,although my family all certainly have been. I do get it,and am constantly implementing it all on a daily basis. Blessings to you and yours!!

Congrats on the number of viewers, and the need to grow.
ReplyDeleteYou give good solid information, and that is what is needed.

Thank you for the great stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou no like Texas? lol

...that comments on this about how the Constitution was a Hamiltonian power-grab and that anarchy is superior...
ReplyDeleteSo, we can have only one of those?
;P
First really great blog full of great info-appreciate you doing this and sharing the info. Your training info down to the task level is excellent. Anything you share on the underground or auxiliary elements of the resistance would be much appreciated as these are important areas in my opinion that collectively the resistance needs to better plan for.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work.
I am of the same mind, there are those of us who, because of our age or physical limitations, cant hump a ruck but would like more insight into subversion, sabotage, so we could contribute. John in WV

ReplyDeleteSergeant, can you please post your IP address? Just in case.....

I assume you meant "of the blog" rather than "of the computer you're sitting in front of".
DeleteYou can look the former up here yourself.
The latter would be asking JM to rather seriously compromise his location.
Historically, with Blogger being hosted within CONUS they'd likely go after Blogger directly instead of horsing around with DNS - it would net them his account info.
Stay safe, JM.
This is completely beside the point of what you intend the blog to be about, so if you want to not publish or delete the comment that's fine. That said:
ReplyDeleteThe argument against the Constitution rests on the premise that the people it was implemented to govern were equally capable of governing themselves with less formal structures. This invalidates the Somalia comparison, because the Somalis have never had the type of society and habits of thought that the English colonists did. (I think that's a fair characterization of what Billy Beck, for example, would argue.)
I don't claim the argument is proven. I find it believable that if no centralization had taken place, there could have been an extended period of devolution in power and societal organization, an increase in general chaos, and consequent loss of the same public morals that made the Constitution appear not strictly necessary. It's hard to prove because historical experiments aren't easy to replicate. That said, it _is_ proven that the implementation of the Constitution did _not_ preserve those public morals.
I consider that this is simply the natural pattern of human societies throughout history and that there was no single disastrous turning point, but I don't find arguments to the contrary to be obvious nonsense.
All that said, this seems like a worthwhile re-focusing of this blog. Thank you.
Thanks from Nevada.

ReplyDeleteI just found your excellent blog today. Thanks for writing it. Our neighbourhood has already started training and will add many of your outstanding insights into our courses.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I would like to comment on. In your first article you said, "awakening to the abuses heaped upon them by the power brokers of the world". I think almost everyone would agree with this, yet the training is geared towards fighting expendable people who are "just following orders". While it may be necessary to resist these petty tyrants and you may be victorious in the engagement, it will do little towards winning the war.
The best that these methods can do is to accomplish what the Afghans will when the US withdraws. In the wake of this will be a society closer to the Somali anarchy than a free state.
I would like to suggest that we consider who the "power brokers" are that are making the collective lives of everyone on this planet worse. These are the people who we must resist if we are to win the war rather than just win the battle.
While it is essential to know who and where the power brokers are, consider that they will surround themselves with those expendables thus making the need to deal widespread pain necessary. When the flag goes up, expect them to hide inside garrisons and "green zones" just before go time. In the space surrounding these types of events, plan for interdiction as they run for cover if you want to get them quickly with a minimum of "issues".
DeleteAppreciate what you do. Good to read your view point(s) and understanding of our current situation. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGood call, While not SOF I have a background in this stuff and sometimes you lose me a bit. That probably means you really lose a lot of other folks. Remember your audience. Many have military experience though not necessarily combat arms, let alone SOF and most have probably not participated in an insurgency. Don't dumb things down, just do more crawl type stuff and be sure to explain concepts and phrases that average folks wouldn't likely know.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work.
Thanks for the work you put into this.
ReplyDeleteI loved the blog the way it was. A lot of that shit was very useful. You da man so do what you need to do. I'm fired up you decided to do what SF does best: de oppresso liber. Although my own path went a little different direction I have much respect for the mission and the men. Thank you for what you are doing. I'm still getting my head around the idea that the shit is really hitting the blades. I caught the reading list so I will be reading Che next. Had already found Mao to be helpful in terms of doctrine. Marighella from Brazil had some decent ideas too. I'm thirsty for more. - Regards, DDinVA
