re: Mark of the beast in our lifetime?

I love pointing this out as an example but Muhammed and Malvo are a good example of an autonomous cell which put the entire DC beltway into panic during the manhunt for the sniper.


Two assholes in a beater with a rifle had hundreds of thousands, if not millions, scared shitless and required all kinds of man hours to catch.


Imagine that happening an exponentially higher number of times with no centralized planning involved.

Hard to control a region if you are having to play defense constantly.
