The Mosquito and the Elephant

The mosquito has a clear advantage over the elephant.

So what if they have the world’s largest military, if they have more weapons than us, if they are organized beyond measure, if they control minds through media. So what. This is not an acceptable reason to accept an attack on our children’s children’s children. And that is exactly what is happening. The underground railroad was a small network. With far fewer people than folks believe. It was no where near as large as the militias of the newly forming states. But there is strength in your small numbers. The mosquito has a clear advantage over the elephant. It can move swiftly. It can change paths with very little conversation. It can fly. So yes it seems as though folks who run these large institutions and large corporations and large governmental bodies are huge and without reproach but this is a lie. Our small forces. Tribal groupings, literary clubs, prayer circles, sisterhood meetings, all have a remarkable ability to harass their large ones. When we act as small interconnected cell groups, just like our ancestors on the underground what we find is we have the ability to overwhelm systems by forming small forces that share resources, information and tactics. We are so tiny that sometimes we are invisible to the naked eye. We move like insignificant ants, yet like the ant we can carry 50 times our weight. We can organize small groups of safe havens for those who are vulnerable and under attack by the larger establishment. There will be those who are vocal and need safe keeping. Our positions, whatever they are grant us the ability to harass and harangue. And when things hit the fan, it is those who are most prepared to lead who will inhabit the positions of leadership.
