Because ZPs have potential to be actually dangerous to the gang in
power, as opposed to everything else I've seen so far.

And it has been for centuries.

You need to think about the "lone warrior" scenario that the Gang
worries about.  McVeighs and Rudolphs.
They were influenced by memes which were not immediately suppressed.

Look at Al Q, Inc: you don't need explicit instructions from the Boss to
motivate folks to do things.
You see who is the enemy, you see opportunity.  You don't need
permission.

There is also the "copycat" phenom ---remember how school shootings
reccurred after the first big one?   So the memes can get out.

As Tim has mentioned here, the talkers can't
be the doers.  And watch out for COINTELPRO.

postings, blacknet etc

Well, some do, but its not relevent for ZPs.

Effective means untouchable web site with untouchable DNS entry.

Fuck the web.  The web is 0wn3d by the feds and run by largely spineless
fedsucking sheep.  The web is for
talkers, not doers.

tuning to Radio London from occupied Europe in WW2.

I don't listen to shortwave, but I understand some of it can be fairly
strong.   I could easily see some
lunatic fringe suggesting that deathbed xians blowing up medical clinics
as a holy thing.  (And I understand
that shortwave is popular among lunatic xians.)
As the US descends into statism, perhaps some agitators will pick better
targets, like the oppressors.
Perhaps some will simply begin to act, the news reports it, and others
will clue in and repeat.
