cartel of defiance (noun): 1. In medieval combat, a formal declaration, delivered by herald, of a combatant's intention to fight and refusal to submit. 2. An electronic assemblage of engaged and enraged citizens. 3. An intertextual mode of reading, writing, and thinking that puts the current political, cultural, and personal moment in dialogue with text/art from the past in counterargument to the ahistorical Memory Hole into which America seems to have slipped.
1560 Sir T. Chaloner Let. 15 Jan. in Froude Hist. Eng. VI. 313 "Our professed enemies... instead of cartels of defiance, will send us solemn letters of congratulation."
"We are in a process of absorbing the factors of the situation we're in and shedding the unreality that dominated at the beginning."

"The [PA National Guard] soldiers were on a patrol when improvised explosive devices struck their up-armored Humvees...."
The soldiers who died were killed by the initial explosive devise, according to Ferraro. He said the type of vehicle was not a factor, because the device was large enough that it would have destroyed some of the larger military vehicles.
