Tight as a Drum: APEC security may overwhelm Itself - International Miscellaneous

Well known to anarchists is the effectiveness of ‘perversity’ of tactics or cooperative chaos. Apparently this strategy allows a core group to execute their principal attack strategy. Furthermore, it allows dislocated and dissociated groups a window of OPPORTUNITY to make their own particular ‘statements’ or initiate a spontaneous move on a target!

A principal tenet of the Art is to act when opportunity presents itself; flexibility and spontaneity always confuse an enemy. It should never be forgotten that the enemy is ‘jailed’ by their own discipline and response routines. The very nature of State security is INFLEXIBILITY and (over-rehearsed) disciplined response -- that my dear Alice is their Achilles heel!

If all goes according to unplanned plans, international and local security will be shooting each other while state and federal police have their hands full maiming and brutalising protesting school children and ‘ferals.’

The well known expression, “you never know our luck in a big city,” is based on the principle that cities are BIG, DYNAMIC, environments WHERE ANYTHING CAN AND IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN; and that my dear hatter makes security an imprecise science of degrees or percentages. Securing a major city, especially an old penal settlement like Sydney, is frankly impossible. Sydney actually lends itself to potential attackers, black flag ops, and/or partridges in pear trees!

Never forget the authorities are locked into their own response routines; many great battles in history were won by those who exploited an opportunity when it presented itself. Also, rather than wait for an opportunity it is better to create your own!

Cup of tea, anyone?

[The author wishes to dissociate from the text. However, if there’s a film contract and a ‘monster truck’ in it, the situation could be reviewed.]

Addendum:
Special note for the “anti-terrorist squad” who usually forget to take their dicks out when pissing; look up the difference between illustration and instruction. A short course in genre wouldn’t go astray either!

If you fail to see it, cover it, or prepare for it, all your preparations amount to NOTHING!

“I believe what I said yesterday. I don't know what I said, but I know what I think, and, well, I assume it's what I said.” -- Donald Rumsfeld

all this trouble for a Texan half-wit.

i read somwhere that US spy satellites have been re-positioned to focus on Sydney during Bozo Bush's visit. when i think of all the hardware and associated trouble to secure the idiot president and the HUGE inconvenience to Sydney, it just doesn't seem worth it.

Bush is the most incompetent president in US history and a war criminal to boot.

A nation that kills good presidents like Kennedy, surely shouldn't have any problem arranging a little treat for Bush -- he just isn't worth all this trouble!

Justify the Kennedy assassination .. do the whole world a favour.

The responsibility is America's, do the right thing.

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tan
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer cause I don't know how
Sure ain't a fixin to start in now
Yippie ki yo kiyay

I'm an old cowhand and I come down from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride, ride, ride 'fore I learned to stand
I'm a riding fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
Yippie ki yo kiyay

We're old cowhands from the Rio Grande
And we come to town just to hear the band
We know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bbout the big corral where the doggies go
We learned them all on the radio
Yippie ki yo kiyay

I'm an old cowhand
Oh yes, Mr. ping.
Too hot for you, Uncle Fudd?
Down from the Rio Grande
Oh where the west is wild all around the borderland
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
and the Injuns run up a rug or two
and the old Bar X is just a barbecue, yeah
Yippie ki yo kiyay

I'm a pioneer who began from scratch
I don't bat an eye in a shootin' match.
They don't call me Elmer, they call me Satch.
Yippie ki yo kiyay
Yippie ki yo kiyay

Get along little horsy
Get along little horsy
Yippie ki yo kiyay!

Bob Marley - Get Up Stand Up

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Preacherman, don't tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don't know
What life is really worth.
It's not all that glitters is gold;
'Alf the story has never been told:
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. Come on!

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Most people think,
Great God will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. Jah!

Get up, stand up! (Jah, Jah!)
Stand up for your rights! (Oh-hoo!)
Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!)
Don't give up the fight! (Life is your right!)
Get up, stand up! (So we can't give up the fight!)
Stand up for your rights! (Lord, Lord!)
Get up, stand up! (Keep on struggling on!)
Don't give up the fight! (Yeah!)

We sick an' tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name, Lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (What you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)

So you better:
Get up, stand up! (In the morning! Git it up!)
Stand up for your rights! (Stand up for our rights!)
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! (Don't give it up, don't give it up!)
Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!)
Stand up for your rights! (Get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up! ( ... )
Don't give up the fight! (Get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up! ( ... )
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight!
