Potus Candidate Rebrands Ideological Threats, Announces Defense Strategy
By Kerry Bowers
Henderson, NV, 22 February, 2015 – Presidential candidate Kerry Bowers, a new face in the Republican lineup and one with a campaign objective to “Set the Standard for 2016 Presidential Candidates,” added a new measure to that standard with the release of his strategy to engage ideologically-driven threats, one he says will be employed when a declaration of war is not the more appropriate response.
In a video and script posted to the candidate’s website at www.KerryBowers.com, Bowers, a 30-year Air Force combat veteran, introduced his strategy by first rebranding the threat, stating, “the words terror and terrorist, and in whatever language they are translated, are labels that have become romanticized by renegade bands of thugs and their patsies who find a macabre delight in terrorizing the world with their heinous crimes.” He goes on to say the terms ‘terror’ and ‘terrorist’ are inappropriate because they are “descriptive of the consequences of the actors and their actions and both subject to broad interpretation.” He also identifies the terms ‘extremist’ and ‘radical’ as inappropriate because “they fail to identify the specific action of the actors and are likewise subject to broad interpretation.” Choosing to focus on a labeling that would be consistent with the actors and their actions, “one with legal standing,” and “suitable under all similar circumstances,” the candidate stated he will address “renegades who choose to impart their will, and in any form contrary to the laws of this nation or that of our allies … as criminals and their acts as crimes.”
The candidate continued with the rebranding by declaring “we will not accommodate any criminal entity void of recognized sovereignty by addressing them as they desire, but by that which the United States or our allies shall so designate them.” Bowers stated that his preferred labelling is one that begins with a two-letter identifier ‘CE,’ meaning criminal element, followed by two-letters signifying the threat’s national origin, such as ‘SY’ for Syria. He said that additional suffixes would be added as necessary to meet “offensive and counter-offensive requirements” and offered “CESY01” as an example of one possibility of a complete label.
Focusing specifically on the development of a strategy to address criminal sects, Bowers believes that those who engage in criminal behavior in compliance with a tyrannical ideology will not be completely eradicated, but the breadth and depth of the threat can be divided, leading then to his strategy titled ‘DIVIDE, ’ an acronym for Detect, Identify, Verify, Isolate, Deter and Exit.
Bowers describes the ‘detection’ phase as the utilization of all “human and technological means” constitutionally available to the U.S., as well as that shared by the nation‘s allies, to detect a potential threat. The identification phase, he said, will bring to bear the intelligence and surveillance measures necessary to confirm a threat exists. Verification will put together a complete picture of the threat, one inclusive of any “command and control, logistical or financial support” which are all critical to determining the isolation and deterrence measures to follow. Isolation can range from that of a single individual to a sovereign nation and to which achievement of the assigned parameters signals the start of the deterrence phase. The proposed deterrence measures include both lethal and non-lethal measures as applied through disruptive, demoralizing or destructive means. He pointed out that non-lethal measures may range from the arrest, conviction and incarceration of an individual to the application of crippling sanctions imposed upon a sovereign nation and any other nation to which the same may receive support. The exit phase signals the end of the one application of the strategy after having achieved the desired threat reduction objective. Noting that in the absence of a declaration of war, Bowers does believe there is a moral obligation to remain in the subject nation to restore a “government and domestic tranquility” through a policing action once the threat is eliminated, but depart and offer support from beyond the national borders.
Bowers went on to say that the U.S. will not negotiate with criminals and that captives will be promptly adjudicated and punished or released as directed by a court; one with appropriate jurisdiction in the U.S., in the jurisdiction of the subject foreign nation, or through an international tribunal established specifically to handle such cases. He noted that the fear of criminal recidivism, which is rampant in the U.S., is insufficient reason to hold a person indefinitely and doing so is contrary to the ideals of the American justice system.
Bowers closed his presentation with advice to those who would choose evil over good and the response they can expect for doing so, both from those they unwisely serve and those whom they oppose. He lastly pointed out the number one priority of the federal government is to “protect, preserve and defend this great union and the people who are counted among its citizens,” a priority to which he said he would pledge his life as the nation’s “executive servant,” the same as he did over his military career.
