Guerilla Strategies for the dangerous role of Whistleblowing
Guerrilla Strategies: Personal Tactics for Success in a Modern Octopus World
Strategic Positioning Insights
A guerrilla succeeds by embedding themselves in the mind of their opponent, turning the battlefield of life into an arena of strategic thought. As Al Ries and Jack Trout assert in their groundbreaking book Positioning, the world is a battle for your mind. Guerrilla Strategies teach you how to claim victory in this mental battlefield with creativity, resilience, and decisive action.
It is all About Positioning
Ralph Kanyane was gruesomely murdered in the public service as a whistleblower seeking to dismatle the cartels operating within the public service...
Murdered in the Public Service. Ralph Kanyane said...
"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong."
Ralph Kanyane’s statement reflects a deeply ethical and courageous worldview. Let’s unpack it piece by piece:
"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true."
This highlights a principle-driven approach to life. Ralph acknowledges that success or victory is not guaranteed, nor is it the ultimate goal. Instead, being true to oneself, one’s values, and one’s sense of integrity takes precedence. It's a declaration of prioritizing moral conviction over personal gain.
"I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have."
Here, Ralph acknowledges that success, as defined by external standards, is not the measure of his life. Instead, he commits to living authentically, guided by his inner truth—"the light that I have." This light could symbolize his conscience, knowledge, or moral compass. He seems to be saying that the journey of living honorably and honestly is more important than any worldly achievement.
"I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right."
This speaks to his solidarity with those who uphold justice and truth. Ralph expresses a commitment to align himself with individuals or causes that are ethically sound, regardless of personal affiliation. His loyalty is not to people but to principles; he will support anyone who does what is right.
"And part with him when he goes wrong."
This final line underscores Ralph’s integrity and refusal to blindly follow anyone. He emphasizes that his allegiance is conditional on the righteousness of their actions. If someone deviates from what is right, Ralph will no longer stand with them. This requires courage and independence, as it often means breaking away from powerful allies or popular movements when they stray from ethical principles.
