The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

All features of an *effective* citizen-based COUNTER-TERRORISM ORGANIZATION. What is NOT to like--IF YOU ARE A "REAL" AMERICAN? Sounds comparable to the French Resistance in WWII.

That donut shop is 4-5 block from me. It is on EAT STREET. RESTAURANTS/STORES OF ALL TYPES.

The only reason the govt does NOT want citizen involvement is because the govt is doing stuff that THEY KNOW IS ILLEGAL.

WHY DOES THE RIGHT WANT TO SUPPORT ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES BY THE GOVT?

===================================================

Key aspects of the sophistication found in these groups included:
Real-Time Tracking and Surveillance: Activists used the encrypted chats to track the movements of federal agents ("ICE abductors") in real time, allowing them to mobilize at specific locations, such as the scene outside a donut shop where Pretti was killed.
Strategic Organization: The network involved dividing the city into districts, assigning specific roles to members, and establishing clear rules of engagement to obstruct federal law enforcement operations.
Propaganda and Rapid Response: The groups utilized short, sensational video clips and emojis as rapid-response weapons for propaganda, enabling them to coordinate efforts quickly.
Operational Discipline: The groups operated with high-level coordination, acting as "self-deputized rapid responders" rather than spontaneous protesters.
Alex Pretti was reported to be an active participant in these, or similar, Minneapolis-based Signal groups aimed at tracking and targeting federal immigration officers.”
