Remember what happened after the discovery of the torture of Meir Ettinger and his friends: first of all the police declared a gag order, and then they kept focusing on the Dura fire, even though there was absolutely no evidence tying the kids to the arson. So they diverted the attention from the topic of horrible torture they were perpetrating on Jewish kids, while making it illegal to reveal any details of the affair; all of a sudden the Shabak was out of trouble, out of sight, out of mind!
Same thing with the death of the Australian young man who died in their custody, I forgot his name. There are countless other examples. But the fact is, it works, at least for the uninitiated: people bought it hook, line and sinker! Devious as they come.
The truth is, with proper planning, we could definitely learn from these reshaim and give them back exactly what they are giving us. It is permitted to give back to Reshaim measure for measure.
But of course we would have to think very carefully how to apply this tactic to our needs.
Thank you, Jerome Corsi and Alex Jones: good thinking, but so devious!
Do we want to act like Reshaim, though, or do we prefer to maintain the high road, trusting in Hashem, knowing he will right wrongs in due time? Is this a war, do we have the obligation to fight it, or should we simply be passive and wait for God to take care of the situation?
Food for thought.

UPDATE
... But look at this article mentioning tactics associated with Trump:
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index2303.htm
I am not sure if you can trust the website, however the ideas mentioned in the article are sure interesting. Many people have read the Art of War - I am not one of them; you might be, and in that case you are not learning anything new here. Whichever way it is, though, I find it interesting that tactics, strategies are mentioned in one breath with Donald Trump. So I wonder if you can believe anything that is said in his regard, including regarding his upcoming trip to Israel; who knows what he is planning to do: if his way is always to deceive and surprise people for maximum effectiveness, then who knows, maybe his plans are positive but his utterings disturbing.... I don't know; all I can say for sure is: if he helps Israel he himself will be helped, and if he hurts Israel he himself will be hurt.
