Outlawing resilience

Global Guerrillas
VERBATIM POST

Sydney Morning Herald. Outlawing resilience on the West Bank. Using the future is already here but it's not evenly distributed yet line of thinking: Israel is pioneering the legal methods by which a capitalist democracy can repress or cleanse unwanted groups from valuable areas. One method, as seen in this article, is to deny connections to national infrastructure (particularly energy) and then prevent (using zoning/etc. regulations and legal maneuvers) the use of resilient technology.

This tactic is also central to efforts to eliminate Occupy camps. We, in the US/EU, are going to see this lawfare on a grand scale in the future as IN/OUT groups (if you think you will be on the IN group, you are probably wrong) develop due to prolonged economic failure.

Homework for global guerrillas: think of the ways to defeat this method of attack (is there any method besides counter-lawfare?). I'll post the best answers.
