<p id="gmail-7ded">Revolutionaries in the US need
to adopt the mentality that they’re being perpetually targeted by
counterinsurgency, because they already are. Throughout this last year’s
Black Lives Matter protests, the US National Security State has <a href="https://mronline.org/2020/07/03/anatomy-of-a-counter-insurgency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">unleashed</a> vilifying
propaganda about the demonstrations coming from “outside agitators,”
promoted media glorifications of the police which portray law
enforcement as sympathetic to racial justice, used America’s network of
liberal NGOs to funnel support for the movement into the Democratic
Party, and flooded militant protests with liberal “peace police” to
temper radicalization.</p>
<p id="gmail-2a83">All of this has no doubt been
done with the orchestration of US intelligence; covert government
propaganda within US media has been <a href="https://www.mintpressnews.com/planting-stories-in-the-press-lifting-of-us-propaganda-ban-gives-new-meaning-to-old-song/237493/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">officially</a>
legal since 2013, and the FBI has been working to infiltrate and co-opt
social movements for decades. But such tactics are just the most
surface-level aspects of the counterinsurgency that our government is
going to wage in response to the social upheaval, power grid breakdowns,
mass migrations, and additional pandemics that US military analysts <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/mbmkz8/us-military-could-collapse-within-20-years-due-to-climate-change-report-commissioned-by-pentagon-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">expect</a> to
befall the country in the coming decades. What we must prepare for is a
full domestic replication of the invasion and occupation tactics from
Washington’s wars abroad.</p>
<p id="e844">To carry out these tactics,
the US will need to put those within its borders under the most extreme
environment of propaganda, censorship, and surveillance imaginable.
Here’s what this environment will look like.</p>
<p><strong>Propaganda</strong><br>
To understand the role that propaganda and co-optation tactics like the
ones from the George Floyd protests are going to play in this coming war
against liberation struggles, we must understand what that liberation
movement will look like. This year, in response to unprecedentedly huge
anti-police protests and the subsequent <a href="https://stephensemler.substack.com/p/the-flow-of-military-equipment-to" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">acceleration</a> of US military aid to police departments, sociologist Temitope Oriola <a href="https://ca.news.yahoo.com/news/united-states-risk-armed-anti-215132391.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">predicted</a> an armed anti-police insurgency within the US.</p>
<p id="gmail-1bf0">He said that the poorest and
most disenfranchised members of the colonized communities in this
country reflect the characteristics of populations which have
historically resorted to armed struggle to try to attain liberation. And
that when they start proportionately retaliating against the
ever-intensifying incidents of police brutality, their insurgency is
going to carry too much social weight to be ended simply by
assassinating movement leaders. The Africans, Natives, and indigenous
brown immigrants will have already taken on their rightful role as the
vanguard of the proletarian revolution on this continent, a role that
they’ll be able to take due to their disproportionate targeting and
exploitation under colonialism.</p>
<p id="ee23">And at a certain point within
our generation, the settler state’s systematic destruction of their
wealth and increasing brutalization of their communities will leave them
with no choice but to wage a revolt. A revolt too resilient to be
quelled by the loss of some of those within their ranks. As Oriola
speculates, “Entities operating independently will spring up, but over
time, a loose coalition may form to take credit for actions of
organizationally disparate groups for maximum effect. There will likely
be no single leader to neutralize at the onset. Like US global
counter-terrorism efforts, neutralizing leaders will only worsen
matters.”</p>
<p id="gmail-defd">If the conditions of the
colonized peoples in this country are going to get this bad, the US
counterinsurgency leaders will have an obstacle towards the initial
component of their strategy. As the <em>Joint Publication 3–24: Counterinsurgency</em> manual describes, swaying a population towards the side of the US military is indispensable to the military’s victory:</p>
<p id="ec74">To be effective, officials
involved in COIN [counterinsurgency] should address two
imperatives — political action and security — with equal urgency,
recognizing that insurgency is fundamentally an armed political
competition…. COIN functions, therefore, include informational,
security, political, economic, and development components, all of which
are designed to support the overall objective of establishing and
consolidating control by the HN [host nation] government. … This is the
core of COIN, because it provides a framework around which all other
programs and activities are organized. As described above, depending on
the root causes of the insurgency, the strategy may involve elements of
political reform, reconciliation, popular mobilization, and governmental
capacity building.</p>
<p id="gmail-3ae0">Oriola’s prediction says that
when the revolt starts, black elites will join the settler ruling class
in calling for “peace.” This unity between colonialism and the country’s
tiny black bourgeoisie will be used to spin the narrative that black
America is overwhelmingly opposed to the actions of the “extremist”
rebels, and that whites should therefore feel no guilt in reporting
insurgency participants or insurgency sympathizers. The liberal
NGO-industrial complex, and its deep ties to the media, will come in
handy throughout this “pro-peace” propaganda campaign.</p>
<p id="gmail-1d6b">But this won’t be enough to end the revolt, prompting the anti-insurgency propaganda to take on a more paranoid nature.</p>
<p id="gmail-37a5">If this revolt can’t be
stopped through targeted assassinations, it certainly won’t be stopped
by denunciations of the “extremist” insurgents. As Oriola says, “African
American leaders will likely be helpless to stop the insurgency. Anyone
who strongly denounces it in public may lose credibility among the
people. Authenticity would mean developing a way to accommodate the
insurgents in public rhetoric while condemning them in private.” And
there’s where the necessity for creating an atmosphere of paranoia will
come in; to make a movement with this much popular backing appear to
lack credibility, the state will have to portray the rebels not just as
“extremists,” but as agents of a conspiracy by Washington’s adversaries.</p>
<p id="e7ff">This is the approach that
Colombia’s white supremacist government has taken towards demonizing the
anti-austerity and anti-colonial protests that have been rattling the
country. The Colombian government, with the direction of a neo-Nazi <a href="https://www.mintpressnews.com/neo-nazi-advising-colombia-police-break-national-strike/277048/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">faction</a> that’s taken control over law enforcement, has been <a href="https://www.mintpressnews.com/neo-nazi-advising-colombia-police-break-national-strike/277048/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">attributing</a>
the demonstrations and all related anti-neoliberal organizations to a
subversion plot by “Castro-Chavismo.” This fearmongering about foreign
interference is part of the “dissipated molecular revolution” theory, a
model for counterinsurgency developed by Colombia’s fascist former
president Álvaro Uribe. It posits that by treating everyone that
challenges free-market fanaticism—from human rights organizations to
unions to civil society—as part of this supposed foreign-orchestrated
conspiracy, the government will be able to preemptively stamp out
Colombia’s potential socialist revolution on a molecular level.</p>
<p><a href="https://orinocotribune.com/us-dollar%e2%80%8a-%e2%80%8aand-washingtons-military-primacy%e2%80%8a-%e2%80%8alurch-closer-towards-collapse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RELATED CONTENT: US Dollar — and Washington’s Military Primacy — Lurch Closer Towards Collapse</a></p>
<p id="gmail-3847">The neoconservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, which has put forth <a href="https://www.heritage.org/americas/commentary/colombia-being-threatened-leftist-violence-bidens-silence-deafening" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">statements</a> endorsing facets of Uribe’s conspiracy theory, has already <a href="https://www.heritage.org/asia/commentary/beijing-funding-riots-america-its-time-investigate" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">adopted</a> the equivalent tactic for demonizing BLM. Last fall the think tank utilized US claims of Chinese interference, along with <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8yURIS7S9zg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">debunked</a> Xinjiang
atrocity propaganda from the fat-right Christian propagandist Adrian
Zenz, to bolster its argument for China being behind the protests:</p>
<p id="gmail-d891">The Chinese Communist Party
has an interest in sowing discord in the US, particularly during an
election year. Robert O’Brien, President Donald Trump’s national
security adviser, last month said the CCP has targeted US election
infrastructure with cyberattacks. Criticizing America for systemic
racism is not just hypocritical but a convenient distraction from the
Chinese Communist Party’s human rights violations against Uighurs and
other Turkic Muslim minorities in China’s Xinjiang province. Americans
have a right to know who is behind the continued violence in our cities.
As a sovereign nation, we should know whether a foreign government is
fueling this internal damage to our country. The US government should
connect the dots and investigate the extent of the Chinese Communist
Party’s support for the Black Lives Matter organization and the riots.
It’s past time for answers.</p>
<p id="gmail-36e2">When the anti-police
insurgency starts, these kinds of conspiracy theories about the
anti-colonial liberation movement will be more broadly embraced by the
media. At least among the settlers who’ve psychologically separated
themselves from the oppression of the colonized, and who therefore won’t
be sympathetic to the actions of the insurgents, this will make the
insurgency appear lacking in legitimacy. Which will create the perceived
justification for the atrocities that the occupier is going to carry
out to try to crush the rebellion.</p>
<p><strong>Censorship</strong><br>
To get its counterrevolutionary propaganda accepted going into these
next several decades, the government will have to wall off the country’s
communities from information that counters the official narratives. US
military analysts see the contradictions that are piling up within our
society, and they see pacifying the population to make way for a
military clampdown as the only solution. A 2016 US Army War College
document <a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2016/12/21/city-d21.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">clarified</a> how important these class warfare strategists view public perceptions, stating:</p>
<p id="gmail-3904">Presenting compelling
narratives can enhance legitimacy and authority in the eyes of many
stakeholders (such as the urban population). Understanding the utility
and power of digital media, therefore, allows for enormous reach and
breadth that can indirectly alter the battlefield. The user-friendliness
of mass media and mobile technology allows adversaries to manipulate
and garner favorable public opinion and recruit support. For these
reasons and more, civilian and military leaders cannot afford to ignore
the requirement for compelling narratives. In the final analysis, the
battle of narratives and the contradictions of security are likely to be
at the forefront, especially as the most likely contingencies will be
humanitarian or stabilization operations. Moreover, such operations
could even take place within the continental United States, as
demonstrated by the Los Angeles riots and the responses to Hurricane
Katrina and Superstorm Sandy. Presenting a positive image of the
military to the American public is indispensable for continued support.</p>
<p id="gmail-1559">To counter the domestic “civil
unrest” and “anarchy” that the report says will materialize in the
coming decades due to widening inequality, drastic crackdowns on the
flow of information are being planned. The War College report says that
“class conflict” might</p>
<p id="gmail-116e">…greatly complicate the
post-combat, pacification, and occupation periods…the restoration of
order and stability would have to accompany if not precede major
disaster relief operations. This effort could also create opposition…The
other problem when dealing with cyberspace in relation to megacity
contingencies is that adversaries can exploit the almost automatic
transparency that it creates — both to show US forces in bad light and
their own actions very positively…Part of IPB [intelligence preparation
for the urban battlefield] prior to any action in a megacity or
sub-megacity must be to identify the services providers for both
telecommunications and the Internet. It is also important to identify
online opinion-makers who could have a major impact in any controversy
over US military intervention.</p>
<p id="gmail-3375">Why are these analysts emphasizing telecommunications? Commentator Eric London, who’s <a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2016/12/21/city-d21.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">written</a> an
article about this report, speculates that it’s because “invasion plans
must involve efforts to shut down the internet, cell phone service, and
ensure the local media publishes only US military propaganda.” This is
the tactic that the imperialists and their neo-colonial proxies have
used in response to Colombia’s protests, with a suspicious internet
disruption having <a href="https://netblocks.org/reports/internet-disrupted-in-colombia-amid-anti-government-protests-YAEvMvB3" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">occurred</a> in early May of this year—right when the demonstrators most needed communications and journalism.</p>
<p id="gmail-babc">So those within the US cities
that the military might invade—which is essentially every city—should
prepare for an even more extreme version of this censorship. This can be
done by <a href="https://iaf-fai.org/2020/10/11/skills-for-revolutionary-survival-5-communications-equipment-for-rebels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">forming</a> independent, radio-based communications networks between revolutionary cadre members.</p>
<p id="gmail-aea2">And why does the War College
emphasize identifying online “opinion-makers”? Because journalists who
will try to expose the state’s coming domestic war crimes, like everyone
else who challenges the US empire in the coming decades, are going to
increasingly have targets on their backs. The US empire’s show trial and
torture of Julian Assange, which have been done in response to
WikiLeaks exposing US war crimes in Iraq, show how similar journalists
are going to be treated when they reveal the truth about how the US
military treats its own people.</p>
<p id="gmail-642c">When the situation on the
ground gets too hectic for the government to be able to detain these
journalists, or when the military simply wants to be efficient in
smoking out threats within the information war, the military could
simply try to kill these reporters on the spot. This is what the U.S.
did to al-Jazeera’s journalists in Iraq during Washington’s battles to
take down the Fallujah guerrilla resistance. Al-Jazeera’s reporters, who
were some of the only ones to expose US atrocities, reported <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/jul/13/Iraqandthemedia.broadcasting1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">repeatedly</a> coming under fire from U.S. forces. Specifically fighter jets.</p>
<p id="gmail-70d8">At one point, when the US
demanded al-Jazeera leave Fallujah as a condition for a cease-fire, the
US punished al-Jazeera for not leaving by bombing the house where the
network’s reporters had been in the night prior. The owner of the home
died, another one of the many casualties of Washington’s attempt to
effectively colonize Iraq.</p>
<p id="gmail-d1f0">From then on, every time the
fighter jets spotted these reporters they became under fire. The US
neo-colonial regime in Iraq justified this by <a href="https://govinfo.library.unt.edu/cpa-iraq/transcripts/20040411_Apr11_KimmittSenor.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">claiming</a>
that al-Jazeera and al-Arabiya were “misreporting facts on the ground
and contributing to a sense of anger and frustration.” The same
accusations will be made against those who try to expose what the
military is going to do to those within US borders in the coming
decades, and these journalists will face the same kinds of extreme
violence.</p>
<p id="gmail-7187">And it’s not just the
military, the police, or the intelligence agencies that are going to be
participating in this campaign to snuff out journalism. The ruling class
is importing para-state methods for repression. Methods that have been
used in brutal recent U.S. foreign occupations like Washington’s
dictatorial rule over the Iraqi city of Fallujah, or Washington’s reign
of terror over Afghanistan that <a href="https://soundcloud.com/empire-files/cia-stories-death-squads-in-afghanistan" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">depends</a>
on CIA death squads. In both of these countries, private military
contractors have been taking on an increasing role, especially as Biden
pulls official troops out of the region and replaces them with
mercenaries. And such mercenaries are already taking on the role of
surveilling journalists within US borders, no doubt with the ultimate
objective of terrorizing these journalists into submission.</p>
<p><a href="https://orinocotribune.com/gaza-a-vision-of-what-capital-empire-intend-for-the-rest-of-the-globe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RELATED CONTENT: Gaza: a Vision of What Capital & Empire Intend for the Rest of the Globe</a></p>
<p><strong>Surveillance</strong><br>
This month in Minneapolis, a mercenary company whose contractors refuse
to name their employer has descended on the city. They’re there to
suppress protests against last month’s killing of Winston Smith. Smith, a
black man who the US Marshall Service attempted to arrest, didn’t
behave the exact way the officers would have preferred, and was
effectively executed on the spot as punishment.</p>
<p id="gmail-2a7c">Smith’s story is a case not
just of censorship—with police refusing to release the footage of the
event that might contradict their claim about Smith provoking the
officers—but recently turned into a case of surveillance. Because when
the mercenaries have been unable to prevent their own recent atrocities
from being exposed to the public, they’ve begun keeping tabs on the
people who’ve exposed them.</p>
<p id="gmail-338d">Earlier this month, as the
Smith protesters in Minneapolis were holding an open-air conference to
describe their experiences with the mercenaries to journalists, a
reporter from the news outlet Unicorn Riot <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/UR_Ninja/status/1417531793239121922" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">wrote</a> online
that “A mercenary is perched high in the parking ramp taking cell phone
pics of the press conference right now.” Below this statement the
reporter included a photo of a man with shades and a baseball cap in a
dark room above, snapping pictures seemingly both with his phone and
with a camera on a tripod next to him.</p>
<p id="gmail-8cac">Are the speakers and
journalists at this event now in danger because of this? Given that
these speakers said this mercenary company has inflicted brain trauma on
protesters, physically grabbed them, and profiled them, this situation
presents an elevation in the level of the danger which activists and
journalists in this country normally face. (Which is a high danger as
is.) The totally unaccountable and disconnected nature of these
mercenaries relative to the community they’re operating within has made
it seemingly benign for them to stalk people who dare to speak out. And
it’s this extra layer of impunity which privatized surveillance affords
that’s going to make the domestic counterinsurgency—which in Minneapolis
is already in its early stages—heavily rely on privatized spying.</p>
<p id="e1ad">The 2016 War College document
describes that when the military invades and occupies America’s urban
areas—or when it conducts domestic operations against rebels in any
other places — mass surveillance is going to be integral. It recommends
using “human intelligence assets” within these conflict zones, which
that mercenary company is evidently already providing in Minneapolis.
The company has also been reported to be operating a “fusion center”
within the city, which has potentially involved the types of protest
infiltrators and agent provocateurs who were <a href="https://theintercept.com/2020/11/15/standing-rock-tigerswan-infiltrator-documents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">sent</a> into Standing Rock by the mercenary company TigerSwan.</p>
<p id="e359">TigerSwan also set up an
entire de facto intelligence center, but not in response to protests as
small-scale as the Smith demonstrations. Which shows just how paranoid
the US National Security State has recently become, and how prevalent
these privatized spook hubs will become by the time the insurgency
starts.</p>
<p id="gmail-21b1">Drones will also be involved
in this effort to totally monitor cities. The War College says that
“Human intelligence assets will be able to offer far greater insight on
adversaries because of their ability to capture emotions and
relationships — things that will long remain outside the purview of even
the most sophisticated drones.” By measure of surveillance, the
impoverished neighborhoods of places like Minneapolis could become like
Gaza, where drones are a constant threat in terms of both surveillance
and weaponry. The <em>Washington Post</em> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/in-gaza-lives-shaped-by-drones/2011/11/30/gIQAjaP6OO_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">reported</a> in 2011 that:</p>
<p id="gmail-f1fa">Across northern Gaza, the
response to the arrival of drones overhead is swift and, for some,
almost involuntary. Their near-constant presence shapes life beneath
them in a thousand ways—from how Islamist militants communicate to the
color of exercise clothes chosen for a morning jog to the quality of
satellite-television reception. When the buzz begins, an unemployed
tailor in the hilltop village of Ezret Abed Rabbo walks to his window
and opens it—one, then another, until the glass in all of them is safe
from what he expects to be an imminent blast. The most recent rocked the
area in late October when Israel responded with drones and F-16s to the
attack on Ashkelon, killing nine Palestinian militants. “For us, drones
mean death,” said Hamdi Shaqqura, a deputy director of the human rights
center. “When you hear drones, you hear death.”</p>
<p id="gmail-8070">Israel’s innovations in
necro-politics will contribute to America’s internal counterinsurgency
in additional ways. Quoting European researchers, the War College also
mentions that “The basic notion is that citizens with smartphones have
become mobile sensors, reporting on events in the city with tweets,
photos, messages, and the like. ‘This transforms human beings into
potential sensors that not only have the ability to process and
interpret what they feel and think but also to geographically localize
the information (sometimes involuntarily) and spread it globally through
the Internet, thus drawing people-generated landscapes.’” In addition
to the numerous other ways US internal security has been “<a href="https://mondoweiss.net/2011/12/from-occupation-to-occupy-the-israelification-of-american-domestic-decurity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Israelified</a>”
in this last decade or so, Israelification and privatization are
playing dual roles in bringing this surveillance vision to fruition. As
the<em> Washington Post</em> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2021/nso-spyware-pegasus-cellphones/?utm_campaign=pwrem-usa&utm_medium=acq-nat&utm_source=facebook&utm_content=interactive-pegasus-project&fbclid=IwAR3DsSp_PMeB-WeEkBBq9mIlHv51_uO26rdwsptGZHsWvEJ0cpDxHTfzEO4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">reported</a> this month:</p>
<p id="gmail-6861">Military-grade spyware
licensed by an Israeli firm to governments for tracking terrorists and
criminals was used in attempted and successful hacks of 37 smartphones
belonging to journalists, human rights activists, business executives
and two women close to murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi,
according to an investigation by The Washington Post and 16 media
partners The phones appeared on a list of more than 50,000 numbers that
are concentrated in countries known to engage in surveillance of their
citizens and also known to have been clients of the Israeli firm, NSO
Group, a worldwide leader in the growing and largely unregulated private
spyware industry, the investigation found.</p>
<p id="gmail-94cb">Since the NSO describes its
clients as “60 intelligence, military and law enforcement agencies in 40
countries,” this tactic of mobile device infiltration could easily be
used in the counterinsurgency surveillance effort that the War College
anticipates. It will be as easy as a flip of the switch. And in the
zones where this Zionist-facilitated private surveillance network has
established the most intense presence, the mass spying will consist not
just of drones, police cameras, mercenary cameras, movement infiltrator
spies, and digital monitoring. It will also include high-tech
surveillance towers that can perpetually watch every outdoor person and
vehicle within a radius of up to 7.5 miles.</p>
<p id="gmail-3d51">These are the monitoring devices that the Israeli tech firm Elbit has <a href="https://theintercept.com/2019/08/25/border-patrol-israel-elbit-surveillance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">built</a>
along the US border in recent years. The purpose of the towers is to
immediately alert the border patrol whenever an indigenous southern
migrant enters US territory, similarly to how Israel gets its forces to
kill any Palestinian who tries to flee the impoverished Gaza strip. “Now
we won’t be able to go anywhere near here without the big US-Israeli
eyes monitoring us, watching our every move,” <a href="https://theintercept.com/2019/08/25/border-patrol-israel-elbit-surveillance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">reported</a> one member of the indigenous Tohono O’odham community, which lives continuously under the watch of this system.</p>
<p id="gmail-bf2f">And the system is going to
expand much further. The company aims to eventually establish the same
kinds of towers along the northern border, and within the country’s
ports and harbors. If you live near one of these places, The
Intercept has <a href="https://theintercept.com/2019/08/25/border-patrol-israel-elbit-surveillance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">described</a> what you’ll be subjected to:</p>
<p id="gmail-bdc2">US Customs and Border
Protection will soon construct a 160-foot surveillance tower…The tower
will be outfitted with high-definition cameras with night vision,
thermal sensors, and ground-sweeping radar, all of which will feed
real-time data to Border Patrol agents at a central operating station in
Ajo, Arizona. The system will store an archive with the ability to
rewind and track individuals’ movements across time—an ability known as
“wide-area persistent surveillance.”</p>
<p id="gmail-5ff1">All the ways that the
imperialists accuse countries like China, north Korea, and Cuba of being
dictatorial, the imperialists are themselves. And as their empire
continues to decline, they’ll keep importing these tactics in
necro-politics from foreign colonial laboratories like Israel and Latin
America.</p>
<p id="gmail-b214">We in the core of the empire
are going to be met with a concentrated version of the horrors that our
government has inflicted upon Iraqis, Colombians, Palestinians, and so
many others. And for the colonized peoples within US borders, like the
Tohono O’odham or the African communities of Minneapolis, these horrors
are already here; they’re just extensions of the colonial genocide that
these nations have been subjected to since the start of colonialism.
Philadelphia police <a href="https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/2019/8/8/20747198/philadelphia-bombing-1985-move" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">bombed</a> a neighborhood to snuff out a black liberation group in 1985, and the US government was <a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/police-violence-against-native-americans-goes-far-beyond-standing-rock/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">shooting</a> unarmed
indigenous civilians at Standing Rock just five years ago. The
precedents for what the military is planning have long been set by
colonialism.</p>
<p id="gmail-d8a9">To survive the domestic
bombing campaigns, house raids, death squads, arbitrary detentions,
massacres, tank firings, drone strikes, and other warfare tactics that
the state will meet us with after the revolt begins, we revolutionaries
within the US must adopt the resistance tactics of those fighting
against imperialism’s warfare abroad. These tactics, which range from
forming radio-based communications channels to building morale-resilient
cadres to operating with special stealth protocols, are only logical to
embrace in the face of the state’s plot to bring its own global warfare
approaches home.</p><p></p>
