As the Americans Learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safguard against tyranny. The once chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you acces to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.
Commissioner Pravin Lal,
"U.N. Declaration of Rights"
(Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri)

If I determine the Enemy's disposition of forces while I have no perceptible form, i can concentrate my forces while the enemy is fragmented. The pinnacle of miltary deployment approaches formless: if it is formless, then even the deepest spy cannot discern it nor the wise make plans against it.
Sun tzu
"The Art of War,"

Information, the first principle of warfare, must form the foundation of all your efforts. Know, of course, thine enemy. But in knowing him do not forget above all to know thy-self. The commander who embraces this totality of Battle shall win even with the inferior force.

Some would ask, how could a perfect God create a universe filled with so much that is evil. They have missed a greater conundrum: why would a perfect God create a universe at all?
Sister Miriam Godwinson,
"But for the Grace of God"
(sid meier's Alpha Centauri)

Air Power rests at the apex of the first triad of victory, for it combines Mobility, Flexibility, and Initiative

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" - Epicurus
