Sun Tzu Quote - my oblique commentary on current events

The military is a Tao of deception --
Thus when able, manifest inability.
When active, manifest inactivity.
When near, manifest as far.
When far, manifest as near.

Denba comment: "Deception is a means to become formless, invisible, unimaginable, or to appears as somewhere or something one is not. If we are not discernible, others cannot prepare against us. If they cannot tell where we are, we could arise anywhere."
