decentralized network". Which, if you can believe the RAND Corporation, is
apparently where it's at...<<

Anarchists recognized as clear and present danger,All means to combat approved.

 >>Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda, or drug smuggling
cartels like those in Colombia and Mexico. On the positive side are civil
- -society activists fighting for the environment, democracy and human rights.
What all have in common is that they operate in small, dispersed units that can
deploy anywhere, anytime to penetrate and disrupt. They all feature network
forms of organization, doctrine, strategy, and technology attuned to the
information age. And, from the Intifadah to the drug war, they are proving very
hard to beat." <<

 >>Note their interesting (and vital) distinction between criminal networks and
those "on the positive side". <<

Well actually no,not really.Al Queda have a legit war on the armourer and 
financier of the terrorist zionists.The US is 'the 'rogue terror state.Drug 
cartels would not exist without an absurd prohibition and absolutely crazy

the beholder as Tim points out ad nauseum.

 >>God knows I don't speak for anyone here <<

Why,for fucks sake? Haven't we all got work to do?

There's a lot more that ought to be said on this, any
thoughts?

Theres a lot been said.Your ignoring the archives on the left.You are a 
serial pest like Tim 'alzeimers' May.

Something to keep in mind, at any rate. ~Faustine.
