it is painful to see what is going on across the country…but it also liberating/uplifting to see people taking a stand against violence and doing what they need to do to protect themselves and their property….people in my area are standing with minneopolis, mn – yet so far are doing so peacefully. acts of violence will not be tolerated here so while the programming runs deep, they are not supportive of violence. although ANTIFA and other infiltrator operatives left Portland and headed for Salem last night. i am hoping of course they stay out of this area.
so mixed emotions on all of this – and a lot of questions. i don’t see why such violence “has” to play out. some will not “see”. some will be unable to – some will choose not to. so i applaud those not taking “sheot” from those wishing to bully and harm because i am not seeing the NG step up and in and end this horror (although it was said they shut down the violence in MN last night).

“. . . and address its root causes.”
Please and thank you.
Insurgency can be defined as ‘the organized use of subversion and violence to seize, nullify, or challenge political control of a region.’
Insurgents seek to subvert or displace the government and completely or partially control the resources and population of a given territory. They do so through the use of force (including guerrilla warfare, terrorism and coercion/intimidation), propa- ganda, subversion and political mobilization. Insurgents fight government forces only to the extent needed to achieve their political aims: their main effort is not to kill counterinsurgents, but rather to establish a competitive system of control over the population, making it impossible for the government to administer its territory and people. Insurgent activity is therefore designed to weaken government control and legitimacy while increasing insurgent control and influence.
Insurgents require supporters, recruits, safe havens, money, supplies, weapons and intelligence on government actions. A robust insurgency can be waged with the support of just a small percentage of a given population.
NEXT:
Counterinsurgency may be defined as ‘comprehensive civilian and military efforts taken to simultaneously defeat and contain insurgency and address its root causes’.
