    AQI/ISIL/IS can never seem to get the 10 standing orders of an insurgency right---notice point 6---do not fork the insurgency---this is what caused them grief the last time around.

    Taken from the Global Guerrilla blog site in 2010 referencing a concept called "open source warfare".

    2.Grow Black Economies
    3.Virtualize your organization
    4.Repetition is more important than scale
    5.Coopetition
    6.Don't fork the insurgency
    7.Minimalist rule sets work best
    8.Self-replicate
    9.Share everything that works
    10.Release Early and Often
    11.Co-opt, don't own, basic services
