It is called Leaderless Resistance or plausible deniability. It is a tactic that has been used by the (mostly white) allegedly Christian terrorist’s to murder doctors and burn clinics for the past 25 years.
By the use of wanted posters, websites, and even alleged “news personality’s” spewing eliminationist rhetoric they work 24/7 to feed the minds of the true believers. And when some sociopath with a 2 watt lightbulb for a brain is set off by this crap they bat their eyes all innocent and say: well we never meant to incite violence. We were just exercising our 1st Amendment rights.
This was a comment I made last June in the aftermath of the Charleston Church shooting that killed 9 innocent people. Sadly after that BS “expose” of Planned Parenthood this year I sort of expected an attack on their clinics. It is one of the ManyTactics the Pro Death/Forced birther cults uses in their efforts to initiate the instruction manual.
Regrettably these attacks will be more frequent as the United States continues to chip away at the old social order and the rights of Women, LBGT and People of Color advance. The question for us liberal progressive free thinkers is how best to stop this madness.
Now we could adopt their rules, what is sometimes called The Chicago way, and it is tempting. Cowardly bully’s do not much like it when you give them a bloody nose. If the pro-death headquarters building mysteriously burnt to the ground or it’s leaders met with accidents it would definitely get their attention. Of course there is a small problem with this tactic.
WE DO NOT DO THAT. We are the good guys, not the domestic terrorist, or at least we should be. So this brings the other, slower and more difficult solution
Investigate and Expose. Criminal prosecution for conspiracy. Lawsuits leaning to bankruptcy.
The first tactic is difficult as the Corporate Media is reluctant to call out these B*st*rds for fear of being branded with the “L” word. As long as news division is required to make a profit they will continue to do stenography instead of reporting rather then risk ratings.
The second tactic is equally difficult (remember the last time Justice tried to issue a report on these killers). Fortunately this may be changing even if the price was too high.
The 3rd tactic, lawsuits can be extremely effective as the SPLC has demonstrated. The major obstacle is what I stated in the beginning: Leaderless Resistance. It would take the resources of a law enforcement agency to find a link between the cannon fodder and their Generals, and even then success is not guaranteed (The President appoints the AG, and he may have other priority's then prosecuting domestic terrorist).
As I finish this the Colorado AG just tweeted there are 2 dead and 11 wounded, including 5 Police Officers. Get ready for a road trip to the mountain from my conservative friends and their enablers.
