An excellent statement and necessary given the frequency of calls to violence from what I interpret as shills. It is also important that we use ALL our discernment and not be naive. Disrupting naive people is the easiest.

Multiple divisive tactics are aimed at all potentially disruptive groups. Sowing confusion is sufficient to destroy any groups potential. This is done most easily by generating fear and distrust among the group. Marginally sane individuals with nothing else to do are inserted into the groups leadership circle, their job is to create fear and confusion. Then in the confusion they grab power by "volunteering". They are ever present and always willing. Their minders need pay very little, it's cheap.

I'm encouraged by the number of strong statements here supporting nonviolent resistance. (The shills were asleep! )

Gandhi said his choice of nonviolence was tactical as well as moral. It's a matter of recognizing who has what strengths and sticking with your own. Ours is Light.
