Keep those eyes peeled if you're planning an outdoor wedding.

The former director of the CIA's counterterrorism operation argues that counterinsurgency tactics, like those used in Afghanistan and Iraq, are needed to fight the extremists who stormed the Capitol.

They didn’t even work in Afghanistan or Iraq. They’d know that if they were there.

Cell analysis at first.

Surveillance, figuring out relationship nodes, arresting people.

They already have been using those tactics in terms of psyops and disinformation campaigns....ever since they took out JFK! Maybe before then as well

Very clear to me the CIA/FBI run the country

Yeah, those tactics have led to resounding victories and total success in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both those places are essentially like Vermont now.

These people are idiots. A large majority advocating for these types of things are political spooks who haven’t done field work since the 80s or people who couldn’t give a coherent layman explanation of what our ME strategies even were. We killed way more people than they did but I’d consider Afghanistan and Iraq total abject failures in terms of accomplishing what the overarching mission was and that changed multiple times.

Add this to the list because utilizing military counter-insurgency tactics on US citizens has already begun. Don't forget the Stanley McChrystal story from back in May 2020:

"political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal is planning to deploy an information warfare tool that reportedly received initial funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pentagon’s secretive research arm -- transforming technology originally envisioned as a way to fight ISIS propaganda into a campaign platform to benefit Joe Biden.

The Washington Post first reported that the initiative, called Defeat Disinfo, will utilize "artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president’s claims on social media," and then attempt to "intervene" by "identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against the president."

Others have mentioned treating the 2020 Presidential Election as a Color Revolution.

I recall contributing to and watching a few weddings get drone striked. Such tolerance.

The War on Terror has officially relocated from the Middle East to our own nation. It was already in the process of moving theatres from what Snowden showed us but they are really about to start treating half the populace like ISIS terrorists. I have no doubt that some Fed will knock on my door at some point down the road wanting to discuss my "troubling beliefs."
