PART I

With so much going on these days between politics, social issues and armed conflicts flaring up with the regularity that I can set my VCR record timer to it, is our future still bright?

The fact is that these types of independently-executed guerrilla warfare tactics are here to stay. Much like the rest of the world, internet-based communications have made physical location irrelevant when conducting these types of attacks. Information at your fingertips and motivational encouragement is just a YouTube video or Skype chat away.
