This might be a really boring read to you all, but I just got started and find it very interesting so far.. I think I'm beginning to get to the bottom of what the Minerva rule could be. I think it has something to do with warfare through subversion?
This is the book I've started on titled THE OWL OF MINERVA FLIES AT TWILIGHT: DOCTRINAL CHANGE AND CONTINUITY AND THE REVOLUTION IN MILITARY AFFAIRS
I found one article that makes a distinction between hawks and owls. Hawks (warhawks) engage in warmongering and leaving countries in shambles. Owls are more subtle, and practice warfare with regard to economy, treaties, and leaving the country in tact. Article
In the emails Hillary replies with this.
Ok--and Minerva agrees.
This implies Minerva is something or someone you would need to get approval from..
Hear me out, many people have drawn connections between ET's and owls.
what if there is some sort of treaties other countries have with aliens? And a huge part of foreign policy is being careful not to violate these?
