  Guerrilla warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guerrilla tactics are based on intelligence, ambush, deception, sabotage, and espionage, and their ultimate objective is usually to destabilize an authority through long, low-intensity confrontation.

This guerrilla warfare, unlike the type used by Jews pre-1948, is contrary to the rules of war and the Geneva Conventions because of its deliberate targeting of innocent civilians.

 War Is the Health of the State by Randolph Bourne
A white terrorism is carried on by the Government against pacifists, socialists, enemy aliens, and a milder unofficial persecution against all persons or movements that can be imagined as connected with the enemy.
And the motivations for such wars were either the restless expansion of migratory tribes or the flame of religious fanaticism.

Click on a name, up comes that person's connections to every other left-wing person on the list, or every organization they're associated with, and all the names of all the organizations associated with that organization, until even I was convinced that Betty Friedan was secretly running the vast left-wing conspiracy out of Kofi Annan's garage.
