State Sponsored Terror

The concept of a Single Issue Terror Group is becoming a disturbing concept that is focusing in a constraining but positive manner my opposition to the ongoing attack in the United States. LAPD avenging LGBT History and are ill equipped to perform any positive activities other than destroy the United States. Both public and civilian populations are informant based and complicit.A scapegoating purge will most likely attempt to wash the hands of dead presidents as Ronald Reagan. Due to time and logistic constraints the following is edited from:

Social
Often particular social policies or issues will be so contentious that they will incite extremist behavior and terrorism. Frequently this is referred to as “single issue” or “special interest”terrorism. Some issues that have produced terrorist activities in the United States and othercountries are:

Animal rights

Abortion

Ecology/environment

Minority rights

Networked Structure
Terrorists are now increasingly part of far more indistinct and broader system of networksthan previously experienced. Groups based on religious or single-issue motives lack a specificpolitical or nationalistic agenda; they therefore have less need for a hierarchical structure tocoordinate the achievement of their goals. Instead, they can depend and even thrive on loose affiliation with like-minded groups or individuals from a variety of locations. General goals and targets are announced, and individuals or cells are expected to use flexibility and initiativeto conduct the necessary action.

Basic Concepts
Networks consist of nodes. A node may be an individual, a cell, another networkedorganization, or a hierarchical organization. They may also consist of parts of other organizations, even governments, which are acting in ways that can be exploited to achieve the network’s organizational goals.The effectiveness of a networked organization is dependent on several things. The network achieves long-term organizational effectiveness when the nodes share a unifying ideology, common goals or mutual interests. When there is failure to accept the overall goals of theorganization, pieces of the network will drop out. This is less catastrophic than a splintering within a hierarchical group. Another difficulty for network organizations not sharing a unifying ideology is that nodes can pursue objectives or take actions that do not meet the goals of the organization, or are actually counterproductive. In this instance, the independence of nodes fails to develop synergybetween their activities or contribute to common objectives.Networks distribute the responsibility for operations, and provide redundancies for key functions. The various cells need not contact or coordinate with other cells except for thoseessential to a particular operation or function. The avoidance of unnecessary coordination or command approval for action provides deniability to the leadership andenhances operational security.Networks are not necessarily dependent on the latest information technology for their effect.The organizational structure and the flow of information inside the organization are the defining aspects of networks. While information technology can make networks moreeffective, low-tech means such as couriers and landline telephones can enable networks to operate effectively in certain circumstances.

Hub or Star and Wheel
Nodes communicate with one central node. The central node need not be the leader or decision maker for the network. A variation of the hub is a wheel design where the outer nodes communicate with one or two other outer nodes in addition to the hub. A wheel configuration is a common feature of a financial or economic network.

Government Affiliation Categories
Categorizing terrorist groups by their affiliation with governments provides indications of their means for intelligence, operations, and access to types of weapons. U.S. joint doctrine identifies three affiliations: non-state supported, state-supported, and state-directed terrorist groups.

Non-state supported. These are terrorist groups that operate autonomously, receiving nosignificant support from any government.State-supported. These are groups that generally operate independently but receivesupport from one or more governments.
State-directed. These groups operate as an agent of a government and receive substantialintelligence, logistic, and operational support from the sponsoring government.
