As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.
What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.
Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.
This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.
The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.
I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.
Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.
We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.
Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.
It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.

AI tune with deep Jewish symbolism
Symbolism of Green in Judaism
Religious and Biblical Significance
Green, derived from the Hebrew yarok (יָרֹק), is deeply rooted in Jewish texts as a symbol of life, vegetation, and renewal. It appears in the Torah in reference to grass (yerek, יֶרֶק) and pasture (Job 39:8), emphasizing sustenance and divine provision. The color is linked to the primordial state of tohu (chaos) before creation, described in the Gemara (Chagigah) as marked by a green line, representing the world’s initial, unformed potential. This ties into the Kabbalistic concept of Ohr HaMakif (enveloping light), where green symbolizes transcendent renewal and spiritual insight.
Kabbalistic and Mystical Interpretations
In Kabbalah, green is associated with balance and harmony. It is seen as a synthesis of red (passion, justice), white (mercy, purity), and azure (wisdom), reflecting the integration of divine attributes. Rabbi Isaac Arama (15th century) interpreted green as the middle path between extremes, aligning with the ethical principle of moderation in character development. This idea resonates with the broader Jewish value of shvil ha-zahav (the golden mean).
Modern National Symbolism
Since the October 7, 2023, attacks, the green uniform of the IDF has become a powerful unifying symbol for Jews worldwide. Unlike the ornate garments of the Kohen Gadol, the IDF’s practical green fatigues represent resilience, sacrifice, and national solidarity. This shift reflects a transformation in Jewish identity—from ancient priestly glory to contemporary collective defense and hope.
Cultural and Linguistic Notes
- The phrase “green with envy” appears in the story of Joseph, whose brothers’ jealousy over his “coat of many colors” led to his betrayal—symbolizing how unchecked emotion can distort moral vision.
- In Talmudic literature, green (yarok) also describes bodily fluids and mold (Leviticus 13:49), linking it to both life and decay, underscoring its dual nature.
The green body of The Hulk is not intentionally symbolic of Jewish identity, but the character has been interpreted through a Jewish lens due to his creators and thematic parallels.
- Creator Background: Stan Lee (born Stanley Lieber) and Jack Kirby (Jacob Kurtzberg), both Jewish, co-created The Hulk in 1962. While Lee did not overtly inject Jewish themes into his work, he explicitly compared The Hulk to the Golem—a clay protector from Jewish folklore—highlighting a subconscious cultural resonance. The Hulk, like the Golem, is a powerful, misunderstood being created through science (radiation) rather than magic, embodying both strength and vulnerability.
- Color Choice: The Hulk was originally intended to be gray, but due to printing difficulties, the color shifted to green in the second issue. This practical decision, not symbolic intent, established the character’s iconic look.
- Metaphorical Interpretations: Some writers and fans interpret The Hulk as a Jewish allegory—a figure of exile, inner turmoil, and defensive power. Articles such as “Hulk the Jew” draw parallels between Bruce Banner’s struggle to suppress his alter ego and Israel’s defensive posture in the world: peaceful by nature but feared when provoked.
Jewish Roles in Star Trek
Key Jewish Creators and Actors
- Leonard Nimoy (Spock) and William Shatner (Kirk), both sons of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants, brought their cultural experiences to the show. Nimoy explicitly linked Spock’s outsider status to the Jewish diaspora experience—logical, reserved, and different.
- Walter Koenig (Chekov) is also Jewish, making three of the original bridge officers played by Jewish actors.
The Vulcan Salute: A Jewish Symbol
Nimoy based Spock’s iconic “Live long and prosper” hand gesture on the Kohen’s blessing (Birkat Kohanim) from Jewish tradition. The two-fingered V-shape mirrors the Hebrew letter shin (ש), symbolizing Shaddai (Almighty God). Though modified for television, the salute is widely recognized as rooted in Judaism.
Kill-Or-Be-Killed (KOBK) Game Theory explained
KOBK game theory is primarily a military game theory. It covers the psychology, morality, aims, and methods of players who are involved in any sort of power struggle. Its main premise is that players in KOBK conflicts, by definition, do not know for certain how powerful they are vis-a-vis their adversaries or how powerful their adversaries are. Moreover they do not know for certain the aims, motivations, and/or methods of their adversaries.
These conditions force all adversaries to kill-or-be-killed. They must kill their adversary or be killed by them. Kill does not necessarily mean death. It just means to render their adversary provably powerless. Joe Biden was ousted as a presidential candidate against his will. In the KOBK sense, he was ‘killed’.
KOBK has useful explanatory application in interpersonal relations, group dynamics, history, politics, and geopolitics. It is always a primary factor in warfare.
Its usefulness can be seen in the world today. KOBK is the underlying motivator of US foreign policy. It is the underlying motivator of Israeli foreign policy. Understanding the deep KOBK imperatives of USA and Israel helps us also understand the deep KOBK imperatives acting on all other nations in the world.
Most of Europe has been ‘killed’ by USA which controls virtually all of it. Japan has been ‘killed’ by USA. To many, it seems Israel has ‘killed’ USA since all of our foreign policy serves Israel more than USA.
Most people can sense a KOBK underlayer in life but hardly ever go there. Divorces sometimes explode into KOBK battles. But most of the time most of us understand we are much better off getting along with others by practicing normal or ordinary human morality.
The main problem with how most people think about morality is they fail to understand that powerful people do not have the luxury to practice ordinary human morality. Powerful people practice KOBK. They live in a world of alliances, armistices, truces, conspiracies, guarded cooperation and open warfare.
Consider the state of our world today. We are on the brink of WW3. BRICS has become a considerable alliance.
A very powerful and secret group is hiding somewhere inside USA, Europe and Israel, vying for world domination. We do not know exactly who they are.
But we can know them from their apparently ‘reckless’ or ‘incompetent’ behavior, which is anything but reckless or incompetent. It is KOBK behavior. They are vying for control of the planet.
This secret group did not make a mistake in Ukraine. Israel is not making a mistake in Gaza and beyond. The plandemic was not a mistake. Our public officials and ‘intellectuals’ are not all incompetent or mistaken. They are involved in KOBK warfare and will never stop until they have ‘killed’ all of their adversaries or been ‘killed’ by them.
And once either of those outcomes happens, it will still be a KOBK world.
Extensive purging of CCP officials in China — Jennifer Zeng reports
__________
No report from China or on China can be believed without doubt, but this one sounds credible. This is an example of raw Kill-Or-Be-Killed (KOBK) Game Theory occurring within China. Xi Jinping has no way to be sure his enemies have all been neutralized; nor does he even have a clear sense of who his enemies are. So psychologically he is forced to take out as many suspects and potential enemies as he can. Intellectually, KOBK rules demand he do something like this, based on how he understands his situation. The kill in KOBK means only to render impotent and not necessarily kill. In cases like this, however, you can be sure many are being killed under KOBK reasoning. KOBK Game Theory rules the world of top players and thousands of wannabes.
Another example of KOBK Game Theory: By obliterating Iran’s nuclear facilities, Trump ‘killed’ Iran’s ultimate military prowess. Simultaneously, it seems, Trump also ‘killed’ Netanyahu’s never-ending reason for USA to go to war for Israel. Moreover, by forming the Gaza Board of Peace, and thus preventing Netanyahu and Jewish Supremists from controlling Gaza’s future, Trump has ‘killed’ them as well. This is speculation, but to me it seems likely that Trump has made these deft, even elegant, political moves, which should go a long way toward ensuring a better future for the region, USA and the world. Time will tell. ABN

FIML from a Buddhist point of view: What is it and what does it do?
FIML is fundamentally a communication technique with wide-ranging implications for many other aspects of being human.
FIML removes mistakes from communications between partners. FIML reduces or eliminates neurotic feelings. FIML encourages honesty, integrity, responsibility, and many other virtues. It greatly improves communication. It transforms beliefs in a static self, a personality, an ego, or a set autobiography to a more realistic understanding of the dynamic nature of being, speaking, listening, remembering, functioning. FIML skills are useful when dealing with people other than the FIML partner. FIML greatly reduces the need to rely on external standards (public semiotics) for self-definition and/or communication. FIML elevates consciousness in the sense that FIML practice is done consciously and improvements are made in partners’ consciousnesses. FIML works directly with partners’ experiences and thus is a deeply experiential practice that generates experiential understanding.
FIML greatly supports Buddhist practice and though FIML is not specifically a traditional Buddhist teaching, it does not contradict any core Buddhist teaching. For many people, FIML may be a very good tool to use with the Dharma. This is so because FIML allows each partner to identify kleshas (mistaken interpretations) the moment they arise and to correct them with input from their partner. FIML also helps partners experience the reality of no-self, impermanence, emptiness, and dependent origination. When these truths are experienced together with a partner, both partners are able to deeply confirm the validity of their insights as both share in this confirmation. Both partners will notice kleshas being eliminated and both will be able to confirm this to each other, through explicit statements to each other and also through observations of each other.
FIML practice also helps partners understand and experience how the First and Second Noble Truths actually operate in their lives. When one partner discovers a klesha through a FIML query, they will see very clearly how their mistaken interpretation, if not corrected, could be the source of suffering. When they correct their mistake, they will see how eliminating a klesha is liberating and how it produces a bit of “enlightenment” (Third and Fourth Noble Truths).
FIML practice encourages honesty between partners and many other virtues. FIML partners will directly experience the importance of being honest with their partner and treating them with the utmost respect and integrity. This strengthens partners’ understanding of the Buddha’s teachings on morality (sila).
FIML’s emphasis on fully understanding the roles of language and semiotics supports the Buddha’s teachings on Right Speech (for language) and wisdom (for semiotics). In the Prajna Sutras, “dharmas of the mind” (laksana) very closely correspond to the modern English word semiotics as that word is used in FIML practice. By focusing on this word and concept and experiencing with a partner how semiotics affect everything we think and do, partners will gain great insight into the kind of consciousness described in the Diamond Sutra—a consciousness without the “marks” or “characteristics” (laksana, semiotics, signs) of a self, a human being, a sentient being, or a being that takes rebirth.
FIML accomplishes most of what it does by being a technique that is called up quickly, the moment it is needed. FIML queries almost always lead to long and interesting discussions, but the basic technique must be done quickly. The moment either partner feels a klesha arising, they should stop and query their partner about what is/was in their mind. After hearing your partner’s honest answer, compare it to what you had thought. The better data from your partner should eliminate that particular klesha after a small number of its appearances. Remember, your partner’s data is better because you asked them quickly enough for them to be able to recall with great accuracy what really was in their mind during the moments you were asking them about. If you wait too long or get into long stories or theories, or become emotional, you will miss the chance to catch that klesha. When you do catch a klesha, feel good about it. That means there is one less hindrance in your mind.
Non-Buddhists will experience the same results from FIML practice as Buddhists, though their understanding of these results will be framed differently. We have discussed FIML from a non-Buddhist point of view in many other posts. Interested readers are encouraged to browse some of those posts for more on that angle.

UPDATE: I’m not a big fan of Candace’s interviews, of which I have only watched two. She is a monologue genius but not well suited to the interview format, imo. This one is OK for about 30-40 minutes but did not promise any new information so it felt like just watching two people talk about stuff we already know. Youssef did some general analysis on USA starting at the ~35 min mark; what I saw of it was trite, so I stopped watching. Just my opinions. ABN
