Stephen Pampinella Reviews “Revolutionary Strategies in Early Christianity”
by Dan tdaxp ~ May 10th, 2008
Major props to Stephen Pampinella, for his glowing review of Revolutionary Strategies in Early Christianity: 4th Generation Warfare (4GW) Against the Roman Empire, and the Counterinsurgency (COIN) Campaign to Save It.
As Stephen wrote in his review:
The best of Dan’s strategic analysis involves integrating Boyd’s PISRR steps to victory and the gendering of different aspects of war. PISRR stands for Penetrate-Isolate-Subdue/Subvert-Reorganize-Reharmonize. However, to successfully PISRR an enemy, and harmonize its existence according to one’s own strategy, it is necessary to use both male Panzers and female Soldats. Panzers crash gates, Soldats build societies. Using one without the other leaves one strategically vulnerable to further annihalation or eventual subversion. Femininity and Masculinity go hand in hand in warfare, a velvet glove to an iron fist. Christian Panzers spread the Good Word, Soldats ensured it stayed in the hearts and minds of the people. When the Empire was weak, it could switch to a Christian ideology that was already well received among the people. Thus, Christians destroyed the Roman will to resist it, as it became more rational to embrace it.
Thanks Stephen!

While eating my breakfast (Yogurt, Special K w/chocolate milk) I OBSERVED a UPS truck pulling up to my house. At that point, I ORIENTED myself out the window while the UPS person started moving out of the truck. I then DECIDED that moving to the side door would be the best course of action as I might have to sign for the package. Finally, I ACTED and conducted a movement to the door and met UPS person (no signature needed) taking the parcel from her.
I opened the package and found “Revolutionary Strategies in Early Christianity” by Daniel Abbott.
A review is coming.
