INOPERATIVE - Anti-terrorist Measures.

I have chosen the title INOPERATIVE - Anti-terrorist Measures, because that is exactly what we have all got to do -Make them inoperative and isolated. I have my North American Talking Stick, next to my laptop, thus I am asking you all to listen (read) my blog as best you can.
I am writing my ideas and strateges here, because its getting a little boring to see and hear Presidents; Prime Ministers and the like, wittering on about those "Naughty Boys' known as the Islamic State(ISIS) going around maiming and killing people most brutally, in Syria and Iraq. There are others of course, all with varying levels of brutality. The two American journalist  recently slaughtered have grieving parents relatives and friends and we are all in tune with them. There is of course another Mum and Dad who must be heartbroken, that, that lovely baby boy, should become such a violent person- They must ask what did they  do wrong ? for him to become like this. Oh dear. Looking at the picture, I just wonder if he was an animal slaughterer, in the Muslim way. See my blog Animals for Slaughter 16 October 2012- Maybe we should look for a or a butchers son, Mr Policeman.
All condemnation (rightly) is shouted at the killing of journalists and civilians. The only reaction so far, is to "Evaporate" with missile explosives, some "Naughty Boys" and a number of innocent men women and children - collateral damage they say.
Well ladies and gentlemen, this blog is about to lay down strategies and plans for the elimination of the "Naughty Boys". So why do I call them "Naughty Boys".----- When we were kids, naughty boys, loved to ride on the back of trucks and tractors and given the chance, shoot at rabbits with slings (catapaults) and airguns. This naughty boy got a hiding, for shooting a Bee in half. Not a bad shot really - When 'Up Close and Personal', which is exactly what terrorists do  and I have said this many times in my writing.
A little bit  more of preamble, before the main events.  I am looking at The Weekly Guardian vol 191 number 12. 29 August to 4 September 2014. Front Page has a photo of two ISIS terrorists, with fingers in the air. Both clean laundered clothing; new braiding and is it body armor, with new radio.. It has all the Hall -marks of a studio publicity shoot , compete with nice green shrubs. Most offensive Weekly Guardian especially when I write to you, on my blogs and work to make a better World, you are silent. Policeman again please note, sleeves rolled up and a near Paisley head gear - hallmarks of a European,in a hot country.

MAIN EVENT

Part one   -   Needs of the Terrorists, now and their denial.
Part two   -   Future Strategies.

Part one.----

What are the ISIS, I will re- name 'IS', "Naughty Boys". They have NEEDS, to run around Maiming and Killing people  -- Good people of all faiths and some of no faith at all.

the main ones are-----
(a)  Food.
(b)  Vehicles
(c)  Fuel
(d) Ordinance
(e)  Communication equipment
(X) Ideology

(a) Food   ---- All people need, food and fluid each day if they can get it. 'IS' and other terrorist groups
rely, not only on supplies from their base camps, but also from unfortunate people in small villages and towns, which are pillaged and destroyed many times.
Through the UN and many other agencies, food and water is delivered by Sea;Land and Air drops. All good humanitarian work and if a little water lands by mistake onto 'IS' location , its a pity, but I don't think anyone would deny "Mad Rabid Dogs a drink" before being dealt with humainly.
I conclude here that to make 'IS' and other terrorist groups Inoperative by food denial, is difficult as they are so mobile - For the moment, as you will see.

(b) Vehicles ---"IS" and the like rely heavily on mobility of any kind. Trucks , Personnel carriers; Tanks and in other parts of the World, Horses. Used in the past by armies of all kinds. This is particularly relevant in areas of long distances and open space, roads or not.
As a Motor Industry man around the World nearly all my life, I know thing or two about Manufacture and Distribution Internationally -- so lets begin.
First the vehicles and tanks left by, in the main,, American military when they exited Iraq . This was a singularly irresponsible thing to do, by this throw away nation. All of the equipment was sophisticated and of top quality and requires top class maintainance, to keep them going. We must hope that in rebel hands, they
quickly deteriorate and stop, making them INOPERATIVE.
Secondly, the 4x4 and 2x4 utes light and heavier truck's, are the essential equipment of terrorists who require mobility, in carrying personnel and armaments, quickly, in and out of areas where they carry out their terrible operations of killing and maiming, all people who refuse or appear to refuse, their Ideologies.
As we all know , this applies, in such Countries such as Nigeria, Sudan etc
It is very clear from news reels from all areas, that the preferred make is TOYOTA    and as we clearly see, a lot of them are new vehicles. How do they get them and from where, more to the point how do we stop the flow of vehicles, their spare parts like filters, batteries and fluids, plus in these rough terrians - Tyres.
I have raised the question of the silence of  Japanese manufactures on matters of their distribution routes of supply before. I have raised the same question of all manufacturers worldwide and sent copies to Presidents and heads of state.
OK. All Manufacturers of vehicles worldwide, know exactly what models are going where, for up to at least 95% of their journey, plus parts. I know this because I was a manufactures representative and executive around the World. If we needed to find a vehicle we could, Gwelo or N'Manga or anywhere. I also instigated fleet registers Globaly, civil and ,military (a little scary at times). All in the good cause of  service in case of fault campaigns.
TOYOTA - You have got to stop the nonsense of silence on vehicle distribution . You know exactly where your vehicles are going, right up to the final purchaser or damn well close. UN and all nations must come down on Japan and get TOYOTA and others involved in getting terrorists INOPERATIVE in the mobility area  and  very quickly, as without parts and service back-up the vehicles deteriorate and stop quite rapidly, which will save many lives and make the terrorist very very vunerable.

(c)  Fuel - Without fuel of all kinds, Petrol; Diesel, and Gas, vehicles are going nowhere. We all learnt that with our first motor cycle or car, when we tried to stretch that precious gallon, but to no avail. My first experience was at the time of the Suez Crisis, when we were rationed severely and so we must restrict access to fuel and oils and fluids, to terrorists of all forms. Particularly people like "IS" who have to travel long distances to hit their targets.
I wonder who remembers Rommel and his Panzer divisions in north Africa, in the second world war. This great military strategist, was stopped in his tracks, when Hitler decided to switch the game to the Balkan's . Montgomery and the allies simply moved forward and it was all over for Rommel and so if the World does it right, so will "IS" etc be stopped in their tracks and the Kurds, Iraqies and allies simply do their thing.
FUEL -  Restrict access, now, even if it means, no fuel for a while for everyone else. Fuel companies action please, plus a few Tanker destruction tactics from our US friends if tankers attempt to leave base.

(d) Ordinance - I'm afraid I know little of the flow of Gun s and ammunition. Only one experience I had in the eighties when I was asked to procure 25,000 rounds of 7.62 ammunition. I thought, how do I do that, so I had a look and my goodness it was so easy. The suppliers did every thing, shipping and trans-shipping to destination and arranged payment. I destroyed the paperwork and said no thank you. I never knew the destination.
All I really know is that arms can be arranged from any country, to any country, via a third country,as what happened with Rwanda. Memories, oh dear, Rwanda with its Australian; UK; French; Bulgarian involveme nt and who know what others players were involved .there was that mobile office with those filing cabinets and the Balkans were awash with small arms. It was all very interesting and in those days you could actually speak to the Security Organisations and Federal Police.   
The World authorities must do every thing possible to  stop the flow of arms of all kinds, plus collect all none exploded shells, which come in handy for road side bombs etc. Not my subject so I will leave it alone.

(e)   Communication Equipment- Communications systems play a  big roll, in groups constantly on the move, as are terrorists. They also play a big roll, with the people locating them -  end of story from me .

(X) Ideology -  There are Ideologists of all kinds as there are  fundamentalists of all kinds.  The Crusaders of past centuries, charging about pillaging and killing people in the name of  Christianity, led by a brutal King in brutal times. Nasty Regimes of all kinds have in the past and up to this very day dominate and subject their people to terrible misjustages. The list is long.
Right now we have particularly violent organisation, known variously as ISIS; Islamic Sate and "IS" and running parallel are a number other well known International groups  such a Mujehadin Talaban and Al Qaeda. There is quite a list, "IS" is the wickedest of them all and the World must deal with them.
All religions have their extremists be they Christian; Jew; Hindu; Buddist et al, plus people with no religion at all, just nasty people.
Ideology  - powerful word used by powerful people for good and bad. In "IS" case, an extreme example.



Part Two  -- Future Strateges

As a motor industry man I have talked about what terrorists and in particular "IS",needs are, to operate in the enviroment of open spaces and distances - quickly.
This blog is all about the word  "INOPERATIVE" which, runs on the back of the good old system known as CONTAINMENT and as friends know, I have always worked and endeavoured on 'The Passive Side of Violence', so lets look to future strategies, that are non- violent to make "IS" and others Inoperative.

Part 1 , gave, what we can  do now.
Part 2 . Gives what we can do in the future.
Here we go--------- All vehicles, civil and military, must be fitted with TOTAL shutdown capability in two ways.
(a) All vehicles, must be able to be made 'Inoperable' by use of the now sophisticated key fob, used by motor manufacturers, with the added capability of shutdown of lights, radios, ie all systems.
When operators of vehicles, hav e to abanden them, they can press a third (shielded) button to totally immobilise the vehicle- which also destroys the key fob when pressed, say three times.
(b) This applies to military vehicles and is in addition to (a)
(1) Please read my blog Aircraft Missing - An Integrated Electronic Search System  May 21 2014. Now apply to military vehicles, Hummvies, Trucks Tanks etc. - You will be able to locate Your vehicle.
(2) Plus, units to be fitted with 'Isolating' systems, that make the vehicle inoperative, when passed over by aircraft  or satyllite location. -- I know you clever people out there can do it.

INOPERATIVE       ----------     A most powerful word and thats what we are go to make "IS" and others.

 All the best for now.
