I checked very carefully, I was not able to see myself in the video. But you are right, I should probably be a little tighter lipped about my methods

They were distributed all over the city for parking and probably surveillance purposes. Our side seems to congregate and park in the same places every time. Once the main protest was over our side scattered fairly quickly, they stayed en mass. I observed one MAGA guy heading out of the area with a long gun, he was being paralleled by almost the entire black block protest group on the other side of the road. There was plenty of shit talking, but it seemed no one wanted to engage at that point. Echo squad of antifa was following him until he got out of the area.


We need to organize and in a big way. Communication and planning ahead of time will make things more effective. Having a security element to counter their security elements is a must. We need to have a separation between brawlers and shooters. Our shooters get too involved in a fight which can lead to them firing shots. I know it runs counter to most of our thinking, but we need to be masking up while doing these events. I look at so many photos and videos of confrontations and the guys/gals on our side are almost always unmasked. There’s a reason so many of their people are able to get away with stuff, you can’t ID who they are without a hell of a lot of work. A good balaclava will hide your identity and prevent doxing. These guys seem to have a fairly sophisticated intel gathering, we need to try to counter that when we can

I love what you did, agree on infosec. A source (sounds korny to put it that way) in WA context, pointed out that we have mixed groups/competencies attending.. ie what you observed... So variable outcomes, mostly negative to date (in probably most mixes across the USA). Non-local offline layered networks, overwatch, required yes. Thank you for added knowledge.

Only if you consider the ideal woman to date, to be the youngest that you can get away with dating.

Personally, I think dating an 18 year old would end up being annoying.  And my daughter gives me an ear full (then starts working on the other ear), when I jokingly suggest it.

This, dmr isn't great for encryption but it is readily available, understandable, and utilizes security through obscurity. A large band area, digital, channelized, simple keys, and we can buy mobile repeaters, radios, uplinks

Trump said they paid the companies involved with potential vaccines to manufacture a bunch of each potential vaccine while they were undergoing testing trials.  The experts said months ago that making a vaccine is relatively easy, the hard part is vigerously testing each prototype vaccine to prove that it works and doesn't have side effects.

And the British seem to have already had some 'side effects', after releasing the vaccine in their country.

I suspect that any real journalists you see on the ground are independent unless they are a local news crew.  National news outlets have bailed on the riots long ago.

If you want better journalists you will need to find and support decent independents. Since all the national outlets have proven they are the enemy of democracy.

If you know any former military looking for a new career,  we need honest reporters that can survive the mobs and dig up and reveal dirt on the established news outlets.

We all appreciate the intel gathering, and what you've done, but don't dox yourself or put a target on your back.

Also all of the signals intel you've gathered is helpful until the other side realizes that we have it.  Then they can use that against us and/or change their comms protocols.

ETA: We often joke around on Arf about OpSec and PerSec, but this kind of activity you're engaged in is when those concepts should be taken seriously.


I agree 100%. I’ve gone out fo my way to leave out anything that might have helped ID me. The fact of the matter is if they were looking they would have found me. I felt it was more important to get the info out to people than the risk to me.

If someone decides to try and track me down and get froggy because of it, well, I’m game.

My concern was for you pointing yourself out in the video, and describing what you were doing to avoid detection.


That would be a fun thing to do--comment here or there that they just passed "you" in a video, but "you" happens happens to be some random antifa-schmuck.

I'm not completely ignorant of the urban environment. I lived in a sketchy part of Denver during the early 90's. Had a front row seat for the riot in '92 and the urban decay / violence that followed. In big cities, patriots are the outlaws. It's one of the reasons I returned to my roots and never looked back. The stuff we prepare, organize, and train for is different though. I don't have much to offer my patriot brothers and sisters living behind enemy lines. But I love y'all.

One thing we have to remember is that many (maybe most) of these Antifa/BLM folks, who are willing to be aggressive, also live together 24/7 in communal squat type environments.  They know each other, have pre-event planning meetings, coordinate their movements, and AAR's.  But they also go home to the same places and live with their comrades. They also know their AO and don't care if they get arrested or not. In short, they know what each other are thinking and are capable of.  We don't really have that advantage.  We are spread out and like minded, but don't know one another's true capabilities or determination.

I was struck yesterday by the mentally ill, childishness, and drug addled mob whining about smoke grenades affecting their health. Moments later 2 of them are in the street begging to be killed. Predictability is a weakness for us, just as unpredictably of the drug addicted, mentally ill mentality make them more dangerous than they would otherwise appear to be.  JMHO
