I haven’t watched a single one.

I do want to point out the differences between the behavior and pet causes of the men’s team and the woman’s team.

Almost like there’s a lesson here.

🚨 WOW! Team USA stops to PRAY after their 2-0 victory over Australia in the World Cup

America is a Christian nation! 🙏🏻

These patriots are making their country proud on their home turf! 🇺🇸

@TrungTPhan Buddy is peaking right now.

Next thing you know the Hawaiian Tropic Bikini bus is going to charter for him.

When I got arrested for Nazi Pug, I got held in jail until my court date due to the "serious nature" of my "offence".

But the guy who threw a toddler into a crocodile enclosure to try and have him ripped limb from limb has already been bailed the very next day.

Clown country.

The people who have been screaming about the Epstein files non-stop ever since Donald Trump took office are somehow completely silent on the confirmed rape of 250,000 little White girls in the UK.

Kind of makes you think they don't actually give a shit about the children.

@RepHaleyStevens You’re a perfect example of why an awful lot of women don’t always deserve to be listened to.

@WallStreetApes Been a Ford guy for decades.

Tired of replacing trannys at 150k and watching them rust out at 200k.

Next truck and the one for my Lady is gonna be a Toyota.

Pains me to say it but Ford has pushed too much BS (cultural and physical,) over the years for me to remain a customer.

[Poncho Luoncho @PLuoncho]

Tired of the vague posts and whacky unverifiable conspiracies.

Trying to avoid recycled and AI videos.

Bring me more history, nature, architecture, and Euro’s amazed by the US.

A heavy dose of subject matter experts sharing their passion is appreciated as well.

[Poncho Luoncho @PLuoncho]

@BerryMac @M3mph1sB Oh, I’m well aware of that difference.

The point it, in the US a “tea bag,” is also slang for something completely unrelated to the beverage.

In that light it’s a funny statement to hear from that big fella. So, I’ll totally take the piss here.

[Poncho Luoncho @PLuoncho]

@FenixAmmoHR Just by deer hunters alone, the Midwest has 3 of the top 6 states.

Notwithstanding actual winters.

[Poncho Luoncho @PLuoncho]

@YesacNruh @M3mph1sB I understood as well.

Always amused every time there’s an example of two peoples separated by a common language.

[Poncho Luoncho @PLuoncho]

Eventually there will be rivers of blood. Months, years, decades. I don’t know.

It only ends one way. History rhymes.

Zero interest in assimilation.

There are those who conquer and those who are conquered.

[Darth Powell @VladTheInflator]

Europe is about to wake up in a fucking nightmare

[Poncho Luoncho @PLuoncho]

@KnightsTempOrg @KDJRadioShow We’re Yanks. We’re unable to agree on anything.

We’re a whole country of “meh, close enough.”

Otherwise we do nothing but argue about specifics.

We’re cheering for the Lads though.

@ShadesOfPunky If there are symptoms it’s too late other than to try & provide relief.

The oils from the plant (Urushiol,) are already inside the body & it’s immune response that causes the redness & itching.

It sucks. Sorry kid.

A shower as hot as can be withstood may temporarily help.

[Poncho Luoncho @PLuoncho]

@RealTmDaddy And they’ll steal all the fuel for the equipment they are going to use.

[Poncho Luoncho @PLuoncho]

@elsathora For the absolute perfect example go somewhere in the Midwest.

Pick a small/midsize city that’s surrounded by farmland and forests. (It’s basically all of them.)

Find a small village within an hour drive.

Experience them both. Same day.

That’s how you see classic Americana.

[Poncho Luoncho @PLuoncho]

@SandyofCthulhu My pre-teen self knew that this was the best part of the video when it came on MTV.

Was juuuuust starting to figure out why.

[Poncho Luoncho @PLuoncho]

@NYewno @NickJFreitas I’ve thought the same thing.

[Poncho Luoncho @PLuoncho]

@NickJFreitas @RevRayCistman This pleases me to no end.

Adapting the IRA Green Book to the current world:

1. Identity & Association Discipline
The Green Book's "don't be seen with known Republicans" translates directly into digital social graph hygiene. Modern OSINT tools (Maltego, SpiderFoot, social media scrapers) can reconstruct association networks from public data alone, without any informant.

Adaptations:
- Maintain strict identity separation: operational personas must have zero crossover with personal digital identities: different devices, different networks, different email habits, different writing styles.

- Avoid co-location signals: two people who regularly appear at the same cell-tower at the same time build a graph edge even if they never communicate directly.

- Apply graph poisoning: deliberately associate operational accounts with irrelevant nodes to degrade OSINT graph reliability.

- No social media for anyone inside the operational cell. Not even passive lurking on personal accounts from operational devices.

2. Communications Security
The IRA moved from telephone to courier to dead-drops as SIGINT pressure increased. Modern doctrine must go further:

- Use air-gapped devices for sensitive planning; never connect to any network.

- For necessary digital communication, use Signal with disappearing messages, but treat Signal metadata (who talks to whom, when, for how long) as compromised. State actors can obtain this via legal process or network-level analysis.

- Briar or Meek/Tor-based mesh protocols for environments where centralized infrastructure is monitored.

- One-time-pad or pre-shared key systems for highest-sensitivity exchanges; unbreakable without key compromise.

- Treat all smartphones as hostile sensors: microphone, camera, accelerometer, GPS, and baseband processor are all attack surfaces. Physical separation is the only mitigation.

- Use stenographic channels (messages embedded in innocuous files) for exfiltration of plans when traffic analysis itself is dangerous.

3. Pattern-of-Life Disruption
The IRA's instruction to avoid frequenting known Republican houses is now insufficient. Modern COIN and law enforcement use pattern-of-life analysis built from aggregated mundane data:

- Vary routes, timing, and transport systematically. Not randomly, but according to a counter-surveillance protocol that makes statistical profiling unreliable.

- License plate readers cover most urban arterials; use counter-routing that avoids known ALPR corridors, or use vehicles not attributable to cell members.

- Facial recognition is now deployed in many urban CCTV networks. Use counter-FR techniques (IR-LED glasses, masks, hairstyle changes) in surveillance-dense areas.

- Gait analysis can identify individuals even with face concealed; change footwear type and carry weight distribution.

- Conduct counter-surveillance detection routes (SDRs) before and after any sensitive meeting.

4. Anti-Interrogation (Updated)
The Green Book's "say nothing" doctrine remains fundamentally correct and is actually stronger in jurisdictions with strong right-to-silence protections. Modern additions:

- Device passcode compulsion: in many jurisdictions, biometric unlock (face/fingerprint) can be legally compelled; PINs/passphrases cannot in the same way. Use passphrases only.

- Full-disk encryption on all devices (LUKS on Linux, VeraCrypt containers for sensitive data) with duress passwords that wipe or present sanitized content.

- Understand parallel construction: evidence obtained through classified means (NSA intercepts, stingray data) is laundered into "normal" police evidence chains. Assume any evidence against you may have origins you cannot challenge.

- Pre-arrest legal preparation: know your attorney, have them on retainer, establish a check-in protocol so your absence triggers legal response.

5. Intelligence Collection (Offensive OSINT)
The IRA's Intelligence Officer role was formalized. Modern insurgent/counterinsurgent OSINT is vastly more powerful due to open data:

- OSINT on adversary forces: social media of military/police personnel frequently leaks unit affiliations, deployment patterns, and home addresses; systematic collection via tools like theHarvester, Shodan (for infrastructure), and GEOINT from satellite imagery (Sentinel Hub, Google Earth historical imagery).

- GEOINT: analyze patrol patterns, checkpoint locations, QRF response times from publicly observable data before any operational planning.

- SIGINT-lite: cheap software-defined radios (RTL-SDR) can monitor unencrypted tactical radio, TETRA (with limitations), and aircraft transponders (ADS-B) to map adversary movement.

- Infrastructure OSINT: power grids, water systems, and communications infrastructure topology is frequently mapped in public utility filings, GIS databases, and academic papers.

- Counter-OSINT: regularly audit your own footprint: run your personas through the same tools an adversary would use; find your leaks before they do.

6. Compartmentalization & Cell Structure
The IRA eventually moved to a cell structure after early ASU (Active Service Unit) compromises. The principle maps directly to modern organizational security:

- Need-to-know is absolute: no member should know the identity, location, or role of members outside their immediate cell.

- Dead drops over direct handoffs for materials and information, physical or digital (encrypted cloud dead drops using pre-shared symmetric keys).

- Duplication avoidance: no two members of the same cell should hold the same sensitive information simultaneously. Distribute risk.

- Use out-of-band confirmation for any instruction that involves significant action; a separate pre-agreed channel or code to verify authenticity and prevent false-flag manipulation.

7. Support Network & Counter-OSINT
The Green Book's "support barrier" doctrine -- embedding in community structures to create human shields between the organization and the enemy -- has a modern corollary:

- Build legitimate-appearing infrastructure (businesses, nonprofits, community organizations) that create plausible explanations for meetings, finances, and movements.

- Financial OPSEC: cash remains king for operational expenses; cryptocurrency is traceable unless handled with extreme discipline (Monero > Bitcoin; coin-join; never KYC exchanges).

- Counter-infiltration: the IRA's greatest failures came from informants placed in leadership. Modern countermeasure is behavioral vetting protocols: staged trust, compartmentalized access, and monitoring for anomalous information-seeking behavior by insiders.

The Fundamental Constants:
Despite all technological change, the Green Book's foundational insight remains true: the human element is the decisive vulnerability . The PIRA was not defeated by SIGINT, it was ultimately cracked by informants (notably Freddie Scappaticci/Stakeknife) and the shift to intelligence-led policing. Every layer of technical OPSEC is ultimately only as strong as the most compromised human in the network. The Green Book's demand for "total allegiance" was a crude but direct attempt to solve this problem. Modern doctrine replaces ideological binding with structural compartmentalization: no single human can compromise what no single human knows.
