A hostage crisis is one out of the most effective Instruments of total terrorist warfare. Therefore, one needs to come to a realization that hostage situations are just another escalated stage of battle with Terror for anti-terrorist Forces, It is a “face to face” ideological combat with ideologically charged enemy, who plays with no rules, no mercy, regardless of how long it may take to finally brake the will of hostages. Then, enemy by using mass media, the Internet, and etc. widely announces own “ideological superiority“ in order to harmfully impact the Will of the Nation to resist.
The factor of ideological superiority is perhaps the most critical conditions for a victory in total terrorist warfare. All Forces of total terrorist warfare have to claim own ideological superiority and prove it in battle. Terrorists need their ideological superiority for having a better leverage to recruit and train more terrorists, engage more ideological collaborators, and attract more financial backers. Anti-terrorist Forces need it for discouraging enemy from the most powerful strategic Instrument of Terror: taken hostages, and eventually win battle.
In order to achieve the ideological superiority, anti-terrorist Forces need to enhance the existing “psychological training” helping to withstand just a temporary pressure, with a special “ideological training” necessary for a long-standing face to face ideological struggle with enemy. Military and civilian anti-terrorist Forces need to be equipped with methods and techniques to strengthen their Will to resist Terror in a situation of a long term hostage crisis being an integral part of unpredictable unfolding of events in battle.
Ideological training is a relatively new area of modern military and civilian education. Notorious pioneers in this area are communists, Nazis, and militaristic Japan regimes. They developed inhuman versions of ideological training known as an “ideological brainwash”, and they widely utilized it at the war time. Although, some anti-fascist and anti-communist ideological training existed in the duration of the World War II and later the Cold War, a new revise and enhanced version of anti-terrorist ideological training is a must for anti-terrorist Forces and civilian populations in current battle with Terror.
There is no secret that Islamic terrorists developed an advanced type of terrorist ideological training based on fundamental Islamic religious concepts of jihad and martyrdom, and they widely utilize these spiritual essentials. Islamic terrorists provide an extremely intense and effective ideological training for their recruiters. They successfully impact minds of millions terrorist collaborators and financial supporters all over the World.
Therefore, the anti-terrorist ideological training must be realized and accepted as an integral part of battle with Terror. It fundamentally differs from all examples of “ideological brainwash” mentioned above. In fact, it represents a set of practical Instruments for a survival of those who resist “ideological brainwash” in face to face ideological combat with terrorists, who are brainwashed to kill us all instantaneously, or intend to use some of us for claiming their ideological superiority, braking the Will of the Nation to resist Terror, and kill us after that.
The recent hostage crisis occurred with fifteen British marines and sailors in Iran pointed out to a necessity of the ideological anti-terrorist training that needs to become a priority for anti-terrorist Forces and civilian populations in the Global War on Terror. Both, military and civilians must be well trained to resist Terror in any form and shape. Otherwise, they could be turned into ideological collaborators with enemy.
(Read More...) There are “naturally born” killers that can commit horrible acts of Terror, but there are no “naturally born” anti-terrorist Ideological Warriors capable of resisting Terror. They have to be trained. Anti-terrorist Ideology and a comprehensive anti-terrorist ideological training for carriers of that Ideology is a new cultural phenomena of the Western Civilization. The latter has to embrace it for a sake of survival in total terrorist warfare declared by Islamic terrorists.
