Tequila Junction

“While the U.S. is focused on conflicts half a world away, Fourth Generation war is coming through our back door. As always, John Poole offers the best small-unit tactics and techniques for meeting the new 4GW threat.”
—William S. Lind, father of 4th Generation Warfare
 

There is considerable evidence to suggest that America may currently be under a highly deceptive attack from a foreign power. That means at least part of her ongoing economic crisis may have been instigated from outside the country. Key elements of that foreign power's expansionist strategies have already surfaced in other parts of the world. “Totally discrediting incumbents” and “demanding change for change’s sake” is what just caused the young voters of Nepal to make a mistake that will haunt their offspring for generations.

Posterity Press has thoroughly studied Asian strategies and traveled behind “enemy” lines for the last ten years. As such, it is well versed on all current threats to America. Some are well-hidden variants of 4th-Generation Warfare (that which is fought in the economic, political, psychological, and martial arenas simultaneously).

Posterity Press is also a staunch supporter of the pro-life movement. As the parent of Eastern North Carolina’s “Children Are a Gift from God” initiative, it considers respect for human life from the time of conception to be an integral part of America’s moral identity.

On these two critical issues, Posterity Press considers Senator McCain and Governor Palin to be best qualified to lead the country.
