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 View Quote 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. |

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. |

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 |
