Michele Ferrero, the Italian billionaire who founded the Ferrero group, one of the top chocolate manufacturers in the world, was a devout Catholic who held a special devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes. It's said that the company's chocolate brand, Ferrero Rocher, was named in reference to the grotto of Massabielle, where the Virgin Mary appeared in Lourdes. "Rocher" means "rock" in French, and the chocolate wrapper indeed resembles the surface of a rock, which could be a nod to the rock walls of Lourdes where Our Lady appeared. It's rumored that he placed an image of Mary in each of his factory buildings. On the occasion of the company's 50th anniversary, Ferrero remarked, "We owe Ferrero's success to Our Lady of Lourdes. Without her, we can do very little."
As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.
What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.
Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.
This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.
The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.
I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.
Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.
We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.
Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.
It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.
RFK Jr. on Fauci's COVID protocols: "Our protocol was NO treatment until you go to the hospital. Then your treatments are two things: Ventilators & Remdesivir."
"Tony Fauci knew that Remdesivir would kill you. It was lethal to 54% of people in 5 days during the Ebola trial."
"The safety monitoring board ordered him to terminate the use of that drug when the 2019 Ebola trial failed."
"He contrived an absolutely fraudulent study that he manipulated & orchestrated. It is homicide."
How does Remdesivir kill? RFK Jr: "Kidney failure. Heart Failure. All organ collapse."
The Ebola trial safety monitoring board halted & removed Remdesivir from the clinical setting, citing it was "too lethal & unethical" to be included as a possible Ebola treatment drug.
• 2.81X Kidney failure—permanent damage in patients.
• Heart damage: Triggers fatal arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, & bradycardia.
• Liver injury: Causes severe, irreversible hepatocyte damage.
• Infant approved: Now FDA-approved for newborns at birth as long as they weigh 3lbs—tested on just 58 infants for 10 days!
Doctors during COVID stated: "We've never seen a virus that attacks the kidneys. Because, it wasn't the Virus. It was Remdesivir."

@visegrad24 So we are just like old junk cars. Worth more as spare parts. This was once the stuff of dystopian future novels. We are returning to the pagan world of Infanticide, abortion,euthanasia. You can reject Satan and all his false promises. Or not. Your free choice. Pick carefully.
"The mark of barbarism is that we treat babies like inconveniences to be discarded, rather than the blessings to cherish that they are."
Babies are blessings, not burdens.
POWERFUL words from VP JD Vance at the March for Life:
"In the ancient pagan world, discarding children was routine... The March For Life... is about whether we remain a civilization under God or we return to the paganism that dominated the past."
Hauntingly accurate.
1958 London: Dr. Richard Mackarness, a British physician, publishes a book with a title that horrifies nutritionists. "Eat Fat and Grow Slim: The Revolutionary Diet That Really Works."
The premise is simple but heretical: Fat doesn't make you fat. Carbohydrates do. If you want to lose weight, eat fatty meat and avoid sugar and starch.
Mackarness bases this on his own clinical experience treating thousands of obese patients. He'd tried every standard approach - calorie restriction, low-fat diets, portion control. All failed long-term. Patients lost weight temporarily, regained it, became demoralized.
Then he discovered older medical literature about low-carbohydrate diets. Banting's work from the 1860s. Pennington's research from the 1940s. He starts prescribing similar approaches to his patients.
The results match the historical accounts. Patients eating fatty meat, cheese, cream, and butter while avoiding bread and sugar lose weight consistently. No hunger, no calorie counting, sustainable long-term.
He documents case after case in his book. A 40-year-old woman loses 50 pounds eating steak and eggs. A businessman drops 35 pounds while enjoying butter and cream. Over and over, the pattern holds - eliminate carbohydrates, eat fat, weight drops.
The book becomes an unexpected bestseller. Over one million copies sold. People try the approach, it works, word spreads. For about 5-7 years, the high-fat diet is mainstream in Britain.
Then the American dietary guidelines arrive. The Seven Countries Study. The fat hypothesis. By the late 1960s, Mackarness's approach is considered dangerous pseudoscience.
He spends the rest of his career defending his work. Publishing follow-up books, citing clinical success, pointing to patient outcomes. Doesn't matter. The narrative has shifted. Low-fat is dominant.
Mackarness dies in 1996. His books are out of print. The thousands of patients he treated successfully with high-fat diets are dismissed as "anecdotal."
Modern low-carb advocates rediscovered his work in the 2000s and realized he'd been right all along. Eating fat doesn't make you fat. Eating carbohydrates while insulin-resistant makes you fat.
We spent 40 years calling him a quack while obesity rates tripled following the low-fat guidelines that replaced his approach.
He had clinical proof. We had industry lobbying. The industry won.
