Alber’s letter enumerated those steps:
"1) Divide the nation philosophically.
2) Foment racial strife.
3) Cause distrust of police authority.
4) Swarm the nation’s borders indiscriminately and unconstitutionally.
5) Engender the military strength to weaken it.
6) Overburden citizens with more unfair taxation.
7) Encourage civil rioting and discourage accountability for all crime.
8) Control all balloting.
9) Control all media."

I would think the textbook is somewhere in the library of the School the Judge went to.

Item #5 (I think) is misworded. “Engender” means “to cause or give rise to (a feeling, situation, or condition)”. “Cause or give rise to the military stength to weaken it” doesn’t make sense.

Mis-engendering? Maybe they meant “endanger.”

Facebook Gen-Z censors are worried the guy has real classified Fed.gov documents. Otherwise, how could it be so accurate?

“Corrupt the young, get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial, destroy their ruggedness. Get control of all means of publicity and thereby: Get the peoples’ mind off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and plays, and other trivialities.

Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance. Destroy the people’s faith in their natural leaders by holding up the latter to ridicule, contempt and obloquy. Always preach true democracy but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible. Encourage government extravagance, destroy its credit, produce fear with rising prices, inflation and general discontent.

Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a soft and lenient attitude on the part of government towards such disorders. By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues: honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with the view of confiscating them and leaving the population defenseless.” ~Vladimir Lenin 1921.

That is the traditional definition, but it's also been used like this:

Here we use engender to mean making sense of something with respect to gender issues, thus looking through a gender lens at ....

I suspect what he means is introducing all kinds of gender issues into the military.

I don't think he's working from actual documents. It's more that he's telling people what Facebook doesn't want people to hear.

Seems like “to begender” would be a better fit, if we’re to be making up definitions or new words. “Biden has begendered the Navy by stressing the importance of chosen pronouns of the recent recruits.”

Sounds like what Yuri Besmenov told us when he defected.

"To engender" means "to generate" or "to cause." I was unfamiliar with the new definition, so "engender the military strength in order to weaken it" made no sense to me. Looks like "engender" is joining the list of words whose meaning has changed: "gay," which once meant happy or lighthearted, now means homosexual; "apocalypse," which once meant disclosure, now means calamity or disaster, and "to decimate," which once meant to reduce by a tenth, now means to destroy.

Regardless of the source of the letter, the statements are dead on. We are experiencing these steps and our country is being torn apart.
