Bourgnew's Situational Leadership
Situational Leadership is a testing of waters. You have to test others to improve others. You have to test their abilities and capabilities in order to set an example for the rest of your people. Testing is a way of verifying and building up. You want the strongest. You want the best. You have to discern the resources you are given. It takes apt. It takes knowledge. It takes hardwork but it is worth the work. Your people will thank you for it when they see your wisdom and perception. When they see that you are a disciplined leader and a strong leader who takes advise and respect the troops. And there are times where you have to let democratic leadership intervene. You have to let others lead where they are strong and make them setback when they are weak. Everybody can be weak especially if they do not have the evidence and the intel. And they are unsure about going on the mission. Not all missions will be successful but you can use them to learn, discern, and decipher the negatives from the positives. A leader knows not to put to much on one side but to evenly delegated authority to others to create a consensus of force. This consensus force can withstand any uncertainty, any unknown conflict letting the troops know that we are in this together and making sure you reward everyone who contribute good intel because that set the basis for constructive leadership which can avail crisis as they arise. Situational Leadership is about knowing your weaknesses and your strengths and creating a cohort of major players who can balance your administration. As the leader, you must show the necessities of the mission. You must show the importance of the action taken. You must show the need for repercussions. You must show that the crisis is real and eroding freedom. You must create the patriotism. Patriotism is just doing anything but availing the freedoms of your country and strengthening its ties to the rest of the world. It is much bigger than one's personal belief. Patriotism is a way of life for soldiers and its a reason to die in conflict. You must create the ideology of heroism. Heroism isn't risking lives unless necessity and as a last resort.. Heroism is thinking outside the box, knowing your enemy's plans and repercussion and using it for your strategic benefits. Heroism is using courage to defeat fears. You must structure what is missing. Connect the missing pieces and create and form the necessary mentality for success. You cannot be shaken on the evidence. You cannot let the little things deter you from the real motives. You must have a clear mind and be one in your thoughts. Now as the directives change, you must change but also remain resilient on the purpose of justice. You must not lose track of administering justice. You must stay focus that this is bigger than you, this is bigger than your troops, this is bigger than your people. It has to have a world purpose, a historic purpose that outlive time. To really make a change that can benefit everyone. It has to bring to light the darkness. The darkness which was blinded to this world and which still exist in the world. You cannot let it stay hidden. And you must encourage others to stand up, other allies, other nations, other countries to work together. Alone is only necessary on a temporary basis in exploring the possibilities but when you know the underlining truth you must bring in all the resources, bring in all the defence, bring in all the ammunitions to tear the stronghold down and build up liberty. It is necessary for the institution of democracy. It is necessary for the existence of the free world. It is necessary for the preservation of the present society. To forge the bounds that lead us to peace, that abounds justice and that resist hatred

Are we running out of white people?
Let me start by telling you a bit about Jane Elliot. She became famous as a school teacher from conducting the "blue eyes/brown eyes" exercise in her third grade classroom. This experiment concluded that people with blue or green eyes were treated inferior more than people with brown eyes. She wanted to show people how it felt to be treated differently based on a physical feature that you could not control -eye color.

Their demand for reparations was based on their vivid personal accounts and physical scars from those traumatic experiences. However, their testimonies were initially undermined due to the lack of documentary evidence supporting claims of British-sanctioned torture against Kenyans, at least not until then.
