And so it begins in Cologne…

Vigilante mobs have been attacking Pakistanis and Syrians in Cologne, leaving at least two in hospital, following calls on social media for ‘revenge’ in the wake of the New Years Eve assaults. The attacks were carried out by groups of young men, allegedly specifically targeting foreigners, after reports Cologne police are focusing their investigation on asylum seekers and migrants… Two Pakistani nationals were admitted to hospital after six men were attacked by a mob of 20 people near the city’s main train station – the scene of the New Years Eve attacks – on Sunday. It is unclear what their condition is although the police are looking to press charges of ‘serious bodily harm’ against their attackers who kicked, beat and abused them verbally. According to the Cologne Express newspaper, a group of ‘hooligans, rockers and bouncers’ linked up on Facebook for payback for the mass sexual frenzy on the last day of the year that was allegedly carried out largely by foreigners and refugees. The Express said the Facebook vigilante groups had promised an ‘orderly clean up’ of the old town centre in their ‘manhunt.’

This is why sensible people didn’t want the refugees admitted in the first place.

Remember, Police said most of the New Year’s Eve chaos around Cologne was due to a Muslim criminal gang operating in the area which numbers over 2000 strong, among a Muslim population of around 120,000. It is not even clear if any of these guys were a part of that gang. If they weren’t, the boundaries of the greater war just expanded, and the temptation to join the gang has just increased.

Now the criminal gangs will probably begin to strike back, and I will bet it won’t be against young, strong males who can defend themselves, or men who were involved in the retribution. The Muslims will probably strike back with gangrapes of innocent young women who get caught walking alone. It will be a long, drawn out period of nasty asymmetrical warfare, which will only be brought to an end once the leadership accepts that the refugees cannot, as a practical matter, be assimilated into German society. Until then, things will be miserable – and amygdalae will grow stronger because of it.

Some thoughts on how this will affect the evolution of K:

Using social media like facebook and twitter to organize and advertise is a mistake which will cost the vigilantes – and maybe those who express support for them on those networks. Those businesses are philosophically committed to destroying the K-strategy. The linkages they record between operators will be deadly to any K-strategist organization, especially when the business that collects them wants to give that information to the rabbit leadership.

Over time, the vigilantes who persist will have eschewed that dangerous technology, in favor of using private messaging apps with encryption to organize. All admission of new members will be initiated in real life, offline. They will also keep operational cells compartmentalized, because on the outside will be LE Intel trying to blackmail individuals who are already inside into becoming informants – and they will succeed. If LE Intel manages to find a soft spot on one member, compartmentalization will keep that infiltration from causing too much damage to the broader movement.

Successful loyalists will gradually come to view technology as the enemy. If these guys were carrying phones, tablets, or driving cars with Onstar, Wifi updates, or even electronic toll payment in some places, LE may already have triangulated and located all devices within the area of violence during the right time frames using those technologies. (Notice that in this age of rampant identity theft and brilliant technology designed to ameliorate threats like that, we just transitioned to chip-based Credit Cards that can be scanned for identifying information from several feet away from you. Why would that be?)

LE Intel may already have these actor’s names, and as this is written they may be pulling a detailed data dump and putting surveillance on the actors to identify all their contacts, their weaknesses, and means of compromising them in the future. Did they buy fuel with a credit card near the site? Can they pull surveillance tape from the gas station? Can they break into their car and pull the logs from their GPS? All it takes is one thread. Nobody is thinking about that today.

Under today’s intelligence-based LE, they would not be rolled up immediately once they were identified, even if sufficient evidence were acquired. In intelligence operations they will often move from identification, to background research, to surveillance, to infiltration, to exploitation (using the infiltrated organization and its trust for varied purposes), to finally ending with destruction/arrest once nothing more is of any use to them. It is very different from traditional investigative law enforcement, which progresses from investigation to arrest.

Third, operating extemporaneously, as these guys appear to have done, will gradually be culled as well. Ask any of the vigilantes, right now, did they identify the security cameras in the areas where they engaged in violence, both private sector and governmental, before going operational? There is a 2000 strong Muslim criminal gang in the area. Is there covert government surveillance imbedded there, and monitoring that gang covertly? In scanning for roving covert patrols, phased coverage, or staged or loitering surveillance units, did they note any possibles? Did they make a pass through at 3 AM to look for unusual traffic along their routes or in their areas of operations, checking them out? Were there cameras at any intersections/decision-points? Did they flash around at night at intersections they would pass through for the imaging chip reflections on hidden cameras, before they initiated action and then fled through those intersections along their exfil routes? Were they followed at any time? Did they look? Did they run counter-surveillance detection routes before going operational? Did they stop driving, kill their engine, and get out to listen and look for any aviation operating in the area late at night?

In many places today, if there was a roving surveillance patrol or static unit staged somewhere just hanging out, and it crossed paths with a roaming gang of hooligans who looked interesting, it would radio that in, and a covert follow would likely begin around the margins, just out of sight, both to hone their edge on something unimportant, and to see what was going on. If aviation was on standby, it would even join in. Such surveillance is nearly impossible to spot unless you have detailed knowledge of the little things you might see – and the surveillance screws up so you get the opportunity to see it. Even then the most capable and well trained individual can miss it. If they have a 2000 Muslim strong criminal gang operating in Cologne, that type of high end unit with an extraordinary number of operators and some very high-end tech, could easily be operating there too – and sitting around bored at times with nothing to do. It may even be there if there is no crime, and it will easily outclass a simple group of hooligans looking to even the score if nobody is looking for it.

I have no idea how extensive the surveillance state in Germany is. But I am aware that Germany has had an economic boom, and as France has endured attack after attack, Germany’s massive Muslim population has hardly struck a single blow, as in Britain, which is established as having a robust domestic surveillance machine. That might imply a fairly robust system operating deep behind the scenes in Germany. If Germany doesn’t have a highly-functional surveillance state monitoring its own citizens behind the scenes, it soon will.

If it is operating now, it is going to great lengths to stay off the radar, and it will be deadly to this type of vigilante movement in the early days. If it is not operating there yet, I would imagine that as we speak surveillance operators in Hamburg and Berlin are looking for full time cover-jobs in Cologne, and beginning to plan moves into the area, where they will blend in as if normal citizens as they turn their homes into covert observation posts with clear sightlines to major intersections, and link up with their teams. Once embedded in society, they will begin quietly building intelligence networks of informers and assets throughout the city, from bums on the street working for pocket change, to cab drivers on stipends, to store owners who will move the fields of view of their store surveillance cameras and then give the operators online internet access to their surveillance DVRs, so their feeds can be added to the system. Where husband/wife/family teams move in, even their teenaged kids will enter high schools, and keep an ear to the ground for anything of interest to their parents.

If it is operating, K-strategists who act out without considering it are about to get a culling in the face of this new selection pressure, leaving a new model of K-strategist. Those individuals who see rapes of innocent girls, and rush out to avenge them will gradually be replaced with an icy-cold, highly patient operator who unemotionally files away all grievances for later redress. He will learn to assume someone is listening to what he says at all times. He will be highly paranoid of everything and everyone he meets at all times. He will be distrusting of all technology, and ever-conscious of how all the little conveniences he carries around with him can create trails which might betray him and his prior locations, and he will know when to dump them. He’ll be obsessive about scouting back street routes and scanning everywhere he travels for any signs of surveillance long before he goes operational. He will case all attack sites carefully, looking for surveillance cameras, loitering people and vehicles, and potential witnesses. He may even surveil his fellow patriots at odd hours to see where they go and who they talk to, and he would not judge it necessarily bad to see them doing the same to him. He will be obsessive about organizing plans of attack, surveilling potential targets, recruiting sources of counter-surveillance intelligence among certain people, and running counter-surveillance at all times when he is out. He will obsess, in the most paranoid fashion, over the slightest anomaly he observes around him. He will be a model of paranoia, but in exhibiting that he will secure his survival.

Rabbits have had their reproductive fitness negatively impacted by birth control and abortion. But their survival fitness in times of revolt has increased greatly with the technological advancements of the surveillance state, the deployment of which allows them to attain great advantage over enemies while being hidden safely in the shadows. Imagine if dictator rabbits of the past had access to the surveillance tools that our nations have free access to today. Every comment, every like, every piece of information read, every location visited, every credit card or debit card purchase made, every phone call, every mail, every bank deposit, every friend, associate, and coworker, all committed to a permanent searchable record that can be reviewed at any time. Add to it a real life surveillance microscope that can be dropped on anyone’s life at any time, with no oversight or control. Imagine Mao or Stalin with that.

Just as rabbits will evolutionarily evolve into models that eschew birth control, K-strategists are going to evolve into much more intellectual, much more paranoid, and much more patient warriors to evade this new selection pressure. The end product of this selective pressure will be interestingly different from most of us today – less emotional, more repressed in the face of stimulation, and far more patient, disciplined, and driven than most of us today could ever be.

Have no illusions, if it goes to full revolt in Europe, or even temporary violence, this is going to hurt the K’s in the early days, as they sort out the new rules of the game. Many are going to be burned, because it has been a long time since citizens have swum against the currents of law and order, and few understand how things have changed.

Fortunately K-strategists don’t need everything to go their way all of the time. That trait will sustain the movement, as will the fact that God will put everyone where they need to be, and give them what they need to know when they need it, to bring His desired victory to fruition.

Apocalypse will be ugly early on, but the K-strategy will win in the end. Nothing can fight the K.
