#5 Paralyzed Through Isolation
By BMartin1776
Have you ever needed to make a run to the store on a holiday and everything is closed? Ever been on a long drive your about to run out of gas and there are no gas stations within sight? Maybe you were ill or had a bad toothache and couldn’t get an appointment with a doctor until the following week?
Events like these make you feel paralyzed don’t they?
What do you think individuals like politicians, main stream media personalities and special interest group leaders etc would do if they were in the same boat because of who they are and who they work for? TAPGW is about taking action NOW to affect those in power and stop them in their tracks. Okay so you’re sitting their wondering how can I do that, how can I make these individuals feel helpless to a degree.
First off this is another tactic for a specific group of people, small business owners but not just the small also the larger companies. If you aren’t a business owner thats okay this tactic may give you some ideas, keep reading! That said maybe you live in the same town or city they (politicians, main stream media personalities and special interest group leaders etc) or their family members live in and operate a business or service they might need. Maybe you know someone that lives near them where the same applies. These people and their families have to eat, get medication, get fuel or repair work for their cars, go about their daily life. What if their daily life had a monkey wrench thrown into it!
You can paralyze these people through isolating them! As private business owners you reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, it’s your business you call the shots. You could decide to shut the place down for a day or two just because you want to, no one can make you keep the doors open. Again we are talking about out of the box thinking and handling of these people working against “we the people”.
Maybe your reading this and you’re not a small business owner that these people may patron but work for one. Word gets around a small business and you can generally get an idea where folks you work with stand on issues directly or through the grape vine. It’s not uncommon for the boss to shoot the breeze with their employees where they will express feelings & views similar to yours on the state of our Republic. If they do go to them and say “hey I know so and so is a customer why don’t we pull the plug”? Long shot but worth the try, what’s the worst they can say “no”, highly doubt you would lose your job over it.
Regardless, to refuse business to ‘these’ people can be done in a nice way ;)
Examples:
1) Let’s say Nancy Pelosi wants to go out to dinner Thursday night to her favorite restaurant and calls for a reservation “sorry we have nothing available” what about Friday night “sorry we don’t have anything available we are all booked up!”
2) Katie Couric wants to go to the spa and get a massage, her nails or whatever done, “sorry Ms. Couric we don’t have anything available business has picked up lately”
3)Maybe special interest group heads like Andy Stern(SEIU) or Jeffrey Immelt(GE), people with money to spend, wants to go buy some big ticket item… “sorry sir we don’t have anything available… it’s a 12 month wait; we have folks on a 24 month waiting list”.
Now big names are being thrown out here but the same applies for folks at the local level. The local politician or union leader, whoever is working against the will of the people from your town that frequents the hardware store, barber shop, market whatever! Make it unpleasant for them to be there, put the heat on them and even their family members. You want to make it so they don’t want to go out of the house! You want them to feel paralyzed that they can’t do anything by isolating them.
Yes family members too! The gloves have to come off folks, again ask yourself what are you prepared to do? These tactics seem far fetched, silly?? Remember what this site is about ‘The Art of Political Guerrilla Warfare’, unconventional tactics. (Go back to the Philosophy page if your missing the point). Otherwise you can always go back to your emails (that get deleted), phone calls (that go unanswered), faxes and snail mail (that end up in the trash) and your protests (that get mocked & dismissed as astroturf on nightly news)!!
Now when these people start to wise up and call foul play you the business owners (restaurants, doctors office etc) say “hey I appreciate your business in the past but you coming here with everything going on I don’t want to take sides because its scaring patrons away. When they see we are catering to you and they don’t agree with your views it rubs off on my business and I lose money. “
“You know Nancy Pelosi you coming to my restaurant is great BUT I’m losing money because people who don’t like you don’t want to come to my business anymore because I let you eat here…”
“You know Katie Couric because you get a massage here we have had people cancel on us that cost us a lot of money…”
You don’t have to prove how much money you lost its your word against theirs! The idea is to Paralyze these people through Isolation in their private lives outside the beltway or the spotlight. Let them “stew” for a while and when these people see they can’t do the things they are use to doing in their daily life maybe they will get the hint they aren’t in the power position they thought they were in. Yes, its playing dirty but not to the degree these people have gone as always keep it civil don’t break the law!
You do have power its a question of whether or not you are prepared to use that power and rattle these corrupt and bias individuals (who do not care about you) cages!
Don’t service these people Isolate them, make these people unable to function personally, socially etc. Paralyze them to the degree of Exhaustion(?)!
