My thinking with the GC is that if an occupied territory has an popular elected government in place the GC obligations end after a year. GC obligations are still in effect, though, if there isn't an popular elected government,.
This is where we are now, I think, because the evidence may be there that the current US government was appointed under duress, that is, under the influence of a foreign power.
The battle we see going on, then, is to make sure an election is held, on the surface popular, in which the current government id duly elected.
That's why Trump has to be run out of town.
Also, I think Q's 11.3 refers to the public rising up against the occupied government in a way that dismantles the social structure necessary for a functioning society. That structure is mandated by the GC for an occupying power.
Brandon, I think, is getting taken down by WH's seeding popular dissent, the ultimate goal being the populace just stopping working under the auspices of the government. Not a rebellion, which, I think, could be put down by an occupying power, rather a simultaneous breakdown of cooperation with the populace and it's government. I think the Polish solidarity movement under Walesa was like that, but not sure.
Germany's WELT newspaper had an article last week reporting that a German constitutional protections official thinks the malaise in the German society is heterogeneous, not specific to any particular group or political wing that could be isolated as the source of the problem. A general dissatisfaction of the populace with the competence of the government, and of the opinion that the government is not there to help them.
It's getting close, WW.
