I think they do use gem. remember “acab” in seattle all that nonsense with the no go zone? Defund the police etc? There is a jacket you can buy with acab/1312 (a=1, c=3, etc) on the back. 1312 means decay (of society) in the bible. They may not know what they are doing, it could be organic (numbers). That whole thing was about removing the salt (order) from the earth. That ritual spawned more chaos. Now if you steal 999 worth of merchandise you don’t go to jail (in many cities).
