Intelligence Gathering

I was lurking over at survivalblog.com as is my usual morning routine while sipping some Sumatra coffee and  ran across this great write-up by J.D. titled, Intelligence Gathering at Protests.

Let me take a few lines of the article out for the folks who can not read the whole piece.

Antifa “Security”

“The first one I attended was on the University of Michigan campus. The protest was rather large, about 1,500 people. What I found interesting was that the first speaker pointed out that “allies from RevCom/ANTIFA” were present, just to provide “logistical support” including medical and security teams. The local RevCom leader got up and explained how to find the medics (Large red or green crosses) and explained that security was “circulating among the crowd” for safety. That was an ominous statement, as I’ll point out later.”

Overt Counter-Surveillance

“Counter-Surveillance is a huge piece of the ANTIFA/RevCom program. They recorded license plate numbers of vehicles they deemed “suspicious”. At one point, when Ethan saw a man (not me) outside the protest taking photos, he tried to get the police to make the man leave. Imagine, protesting against the police, yet asking them to help you. The police told Ethan that Ethan and his group had no legal standing to ask anyone to leave, since they didn’t own the parking lot and were technically trespassing.”

They’re Stepping up to Intimidation

“At the Capitol protest, the game changed significantly. Ethan and his team met up with other RevCom/ANTIFA and BLM security teams from around the state and all were openly carrying arms, including long guns. Many of the ANTIFA people who showed up all in black were wearing helmets and soft armor, so they were ready for violence. They actively harassed and intimidated anyone they deemed as “Militia”. My point in mentioning that is that if you show up to track one of these protests dressed in your “tacti-cool” gear, they’ll make you and drive you off long before you get there. Blend in, go gray.”

I was Targeted

“I fell victim to their counter-surveillance again because the Militia folks had heightened their awareness with several attempts to enter the Capitol grounds, and apparently one of them observed me take a photo. They immediately began following me, including off the Capitol grounds to try and get my license plate, maybe even confront me, but since I had done a thorough map study and recon (again using my trusty BattleBoard Scout as a guide), I was able to lead them on a longer chase than they wanted to go on and they gave up. I was able to successfully change profile and re-enter the crowd.”

Some Lessons Learned

“So what are the lessons for patriots?

  1. The protests are organized by a central organization.
  2. They have trained and professional security teams.
  3. They actively conduct counter-surveillance.
  4. Park sufficiently far enough distance away to discourage anyone following, and walk in.
  5. They are completely willing to use arms and force.
  6. The presence of body armor indicates a willingness to use violence.
  7. Blending in is far better than direct confrontation.
  8. Have a fully stocked and ready first aid kit, such as a BearFAK.”

And then last,

Contrived Escalation

“As a follow-up, after I observed one protest in Detroit, my friend Ethan came out of the shadows and made a Twitter post that the Detroit Police had tried to run him over, complete with video.   I was there. They surrounded the police cars and began beating on them, trying to force the police to use deadly force or hit them with the cars. The entire situation was a set-up designed to produce a new incident to create more tension and protests.

Be prepared for many more of these protests as the election nears.”

Thank you JD and Survivalblog for putting this piece of work out there.

    working on it.

      U dub Spin geraht? (University of Washington)

      If so the old U-District was a fun place to go to for the obscure back in the 90’s. I can only imagine what it is like now.

    The coming steps in this destabilization to dirty civil war escalation process are entirely predictable, but I won’t get into them here. It’s another topic for another day.

    Very good points are made in the above report about EFFECTIVE reconnaissance of Antifa/BLM/RevCom operations. Also, there are a few intrepid indy reporters who have figured out how to film covertly, with a running smartphone hidden at chest level tilted slightly upward. You may use a dummy camera/phone in your hands, just to put the ABR security teams at ease when they “force” you to put it away, and all the while you are filming them. Vladimir Jaffe, who escaped from the Soviet Union and hates commies, has been doing this successfully in NYC for years, and he is a pretty well-known youtuber. The point is, learn to film covertly, and learn enough tradecraft that they can’t follow you to your car, etc. The days of just strolling into an ABR operation with a smart phone are OVER, unless you are part of a “bait operation” and your goal it to get a beating that someone else will covertly film. (This was exactly what ABR tried to pull at Sturgis a few weeks ago.)

    Vlad Jaffe shows how covert filming is done, here with Communists filmed openly admitting they plan to put millions into Gulags, etc.
    “We’ll Throw People Like Your Ass Into Labor Camp Next Time Socialism Comes Around”- Maoist To Jaffe
    The entire video is well worth viewing. I have zero doubt all of the communists being interviewed are now ABR rioters.

      Imagine being someone who fled USSR and now have kids living in America telling you what life was like in the USSR.

      • Matt Bracken September 2, 2020 at 19:42

        Yeah, just imagine…

      • Johnny Paratrooper September 2, 2020 at 20:13

        Imagine living in America and thinking you still live in America.
        My classes are very nearly 50% hostile foreigners. And thanks to group think, nearly 100% of the class are hostile domestic enemies.

          Please study this carefully, every second of 7 minutes.
          The murder of Aaron “Jay” Danielson in Portland. [7 minute video]
          “Was this a planned hit, or just the incidental accidental murder of a pro-Trump conservative?”

          Are the Antifa/BLM/RevCom hit teams already busy, at least on “home turf?” Sure looks like it to me. I think a decision was taken to pay blood for blood after Kenosha.
          Watch the entire 7 minutes and decide.

          The “tell” at the end that it’s valid is the guy saying, “If you don’t give this to the cops, I’m bringing them over.” (20 were across the street, 60 feet away.) We don’t know if the film maker was filmed, or how the film got to the authorities and was released.

          Another big “tell” (aside from the camera man’s perfect tailing of the hit team, as if he certainly knew to trail them for “some” reason), is his dipping the camera to the ground as the killer and spotter moved past. No way was that coincidence. Only shoes tell the tale. Kudos to Jack Murphy for seeing what he saw, that millions missed.

            Excellent Video. Worthy of a standalone post.
            FWIW, When I heard that man yell “We Got One Right Here” in the videos that started being leaked earlier in the week, I thought to myself, “That sounds like someone looking for trouble” That was no Ordinary “LOOK A TRUMP SUPPORTER”

            How often do you hear someone call out the number of Trump supporters? Sure, the shooter could have been referring to a group of people, but I don’t actually think the mentally ill drug addict noticed that Jay was with a group. Even the group leader noted that he was nearby his friend, and others were nearby, but they were not walking as a cluster. They dont use that language in a world brainwashed by rap music and television. They would have just started yelling and causing a scene, as we have seen on camera for the last 4 months. Clearly he was announcing something to others.

            I was a bouncer for many years, worked construction around heavy equipment, and was in the military.
            There are cues you can listen for in people’s voices. For instance, I can tell when someone is crying for help, or crying wolf, or barking orders for the sake of barking orders. Which is a skill some people have because of experience.
            The guy who made this video has an attention to detail that is leaps and bounds ahead of mine.
            I am glad he is one our team. Plus, This video clearly shows the camera operator is a team member.

            Do you know why they filmed this? Because they don’t get paid unless they film it. Same as AQI, AQS, and all those other A**holes in the Middle East. The cartels film their crimes so the boss knows who to pay, and there isn’t infighting within groups, or teams claiming credit for another teams’ job.

            It also helps accelerate the violence, by creating a competitive atmosphere. The same reason hunters or stunt riders film their harvest or tricks. It proves they did it, and then the other guy has to try harder, better, higher and farther and faster.

            There was one more reason for this but I cannot remember. My train of thought was somewhere along the lines of training and tactical analysis. But that’s obviously one of the reasons… The last point I had was going to be interesting, Im disappointed It slipped out of my head. I do know that they reward people better weapons the more effective they are.

            Was this man captured yet? I would assume he is out of the country by now. Probably won himself a new condo in a Chinese ghost city, and a cloned supermodel with a brain chip in her head.

    Based on my observations of Baltimore, Which you will notice has no marches or riots to speak of, is purely enemy occupied territory. Baltimore is now akin to the autonomous zones establish during the Spanish civil war.

    And, they are converting the green space into farming land AS I SPEAK. Quite effectively as well might I add. With green houses for an extended growing season.
    The time is coming very, very soon. And they are not as stupid as everyone thinks. They have colleges like Hopkins and Georgetown on their side. Once they purge the drug addicts and mentally ill, they will not have any problems taking care of themselves. Sure, their will be some growing pains, and mistakes, but they will learn. They didn’t conquer us because they are stupid losers.

    You’ll notice, if you are from around here, that DC/Baltimore/Atlanta/Miami/NYC/LA/SF/PHL/Chicago are sister cities. They have very, very strong family and cultural history. So strong in fact that the “Ballduhmore” accent is nearly indistinguishable from the “Hotlanta” accent.

    Just wait till you see what they have planed. I can smell it in the air. I can see them working the kinks out now. There are extra security at the colleges. Empty colleges have extra security… Does that sound normal? I can understand having regular hours, but extra? How hard is it to watch an empty campus with no movement to speak of? Parking lots that are totally empty with dozens of cameras?

    They are working very hard doing something. And I think it’s Spanish Civil War things before they turn us into the American Vietnam.

    • Matt Bracken September 2, 2020 at 19:49

      Spanish Civil War is a template, but there is no precise template, wuth millions of patriots fully read into the Yuri Bezmenov Communist destabilization playbook, (From Anotonio Gramsci and the Frankfurt School to Ayers, Alinsky and BLM) armed with millions of 500+ yard rifles. This is uncharted territory. It’s going to be interesting to watch it unfold, for as long as we are around to observe.
      Off the top of my head: anywhere Kyle Rittenhouse or “J.D.” of the above piece go, could just as easily to a 4 or 5 man cell including a sharpshooter.
      This will all unfold in time. The tactics and operations of 2020 will seem quaint and silly a few years from now. Rwanda X Bosnia X Who Knows What?

      • Johnny Paratrooper September 2, 2020 at 22:28

        I foresee a lot of traitors and refugees fleeing to the Ghost Cities in China. (Who have state funded western finishing and hospitality schools… I wonder why…)

        China says, “We keep you safe from evil white men”, China rescues American Blacks, China owns Africa forever, solving all diplomatic issues between China and Africa. Because the Russians and Chinese heavily brainwashed Africa that Americans are racist. Thus, China trains Africorps Battalions. Americans and Europeans are forced to retreat from Africa, cause China money brings China tech and infrastructure.

        Rinse and Repeat playbook for Latins in the U.S.. Enter more Latino-Corp Battalions, Rinse and Repeat in Latin America cause Cold War propaganda works.

        20 years from now, we are fighting very dangerous, well equipped Sino-Africano-Latin Super Soldiers. Steroids, Brainchips, Techgear, Nanoarmor. Computerized Combat Rifles. You name it, they make it by the millions. Rocket Missile BackPacks and rifle mounted laser guidance systems. THE WORKS!!!

        American, and Europe, cannot nuke it’s own citizens in China. Would kill relations with Latin American and Africa.
        America, who spends 20 years rebuilding after they burn everything down, sabotage as many trucks as possible, and trash all equipment on their way out will still be recovering from population lose and starvation. If the power goes out for long enough you cannot just turn it back on like a light switch(Obviously you know this, but many do not)

        I see a plan that doesn’t survive contact with the enemy(us) and they tactically retreat to regroup and redeploy.
        Trump’s election ruined their Agenda 2030 plans so they launched early according to Alex Jones.

        I see China and the Left coming up with a plan based on a “Morals and Ethics” emergency plan to ruin our gains, and set back global diplomatic relations 100 years. Which is China’s stated goal. Space Force will force China to rethink their plan. Space lasers tend to do that in the movies, why not in real life? How would the effect be any different?

        This will also require the west to ally with Islam. Knowing China has exterminated Christians and Muslims, it is really our only play.
        Further merging the creation of Christian/Islam because of basic survival reasons. “ChrisLam” is stated goal of the NWO according to some insiders from the Catholic Church.

        I don’t see us having our big war. The war would give us nations of combat hardened Western and Latin nationalists who are tired of lies and games. Lies and Games that we are rapidly understanding in real time and narratives that collapse by dinner time.

        Call me crazy, but this is EXACTLY what I would do. Even if China/NWO ended with half of both plans(IE the current plan, and my new plan) I think they would still be very successful.

        China needs a shield to protect them from a nuclear carpet bombing campaign(And Space Force) on all their colonies and the homeland. The ONLY shield is for China to be Hyper Moral and Hyper Ethical. It’s their ONLY play.

        Or, they just turn us into Vietnam and throw everything at us. Immediately and create 50 Ho-Chi-Minh trails all at once in all western countries. They can accomplish this by seizing commercial shipping vessels and airliners and converting them into weapons of war using bolt on kit and equipment. I promise you they already tested this and designed the systems to turn an airliner and a cargo ship into a cargo/bomber and a destroyer/cargo/cruiser.

        It’s their only move. Like being trapped on a chess board. They can only make so many plays. The word is out about all of their BS, and after this virus, they need a massive Public Relations campaign, and, to support International Communists abroad as they promised they would.

    Doesn’t it seem logical for them to achieve max amount of chaos and destabilization that they need to move to the burbs soon? Intimidating people to stay away from polling places on Nov. 3rd seems like it would be an objective for who ever is financing this.

    • Johnny Paratrooper September 2, 2020 at 20:12

      The polling places in Maryland are at schools, as I am sure they are in other states.
      If Antifa/BLM is allowed to carry weapons on High School Campuses, intimidate people, and the police do nothing, then the time for casting ballots is 100% over.
      But let’s get real, we ain’t gonna vote our way outta this.

      • Quietus September 2, 2020 at 23:42

        You’re right on that last sentence. As to locations of polling places in areas that you know nothing of, you paint with too broad of a brush once again.

        I vote at a municipal town building. In this same county, I have voted at an area dance hall, and at the county fair site. And never at a school.

        Last month for the primary election, I wore the usual “When all else fails, vote from the rooftops” shirt that has a .50 BMG pic on it. Got the usual greeting by name from the poll workers.

        Turns out that tenure here has been decent. This week wife and I got a visit from a republican county worker. Seems that wife and I each got a write-in vote for precinct commissioner. We were asked to either decline in writing, or to advance ourselves to the great honor of being on the general election ballot. We declined, but it was a reward still. We are not from this part of the county. The write-ins were not from spite, but from respect.

        As wiser people have said, the winning is all about local local local. Those living in bad places will likely see bad personal outcomes. We all hope that good written (paper) journals will be kept and secured for the future. That first part of the book Vandenberg aka Defiance shows what can happen to the written record of a revolution when a trapper is cold.

      The most important comment on here ^^^

  7. mountainboy September 2, 2020 at 20:58

    When they are recording license plates is there a way to find out if they are building a Antifa data system to see if numbers are showing up across country or is some govt unit in a democrat ran state giving them access to law enforcement database to find the personal address of the opposition ? If a “turned” member of law enforcement was giving them access there should be a record with his access numbers. It would seem the Fed’s would looking into state data banks to stop this type of threat.

    • Quietus September 2, 2020 at 23:05

      Whether or not that is being done on the part of the Feds, depends on where their loyalties lie, does it not? As in, it’s a big club and we’re not in it.

    • mike September 2, 2020 at 23:25

      The probable shooter in Portland was involved in an assault to take another person’s firearm and was also arrested for carrying an illegal firearm and not prosecuted for either charge before he shot and killed that Patriot Prayer member. Actually he hunted for someone to shoot with at least 2 other Revcom persons in support. Last time I looked he was still not arrested or charged for that political assassination. That makes 3 felony gun incidents this summer alone including the murder. Nothing but crickets. If the Feds won’t go after obvious active terrorists and the local DA is a supporter of Revcom, it stands to reason that they can find someone, anyone, in a police dispatch or Dept of motor vehicles capacity somewhere in this country who would be politically aligned and quite willing to look up plate #’s for the cause. If I were them I would consider that a high level asset and would reserve using it to the national command level leadership and only for high value targets. My guess would be some college police dept dispatch worker in a place like Berkley, but who knows. If someone was running thousands of plates for their handlers, it would take all day every day and would certainly be noticed. Given the current climate in this country, they would probably be at greater risk of termination for cause for neglecting their real work and not so much for the terrorist support activity. I would not be taking my personal vehicle anywhere near the enemy for any reason non the less.

    The major problem IMO for Patriots and Traditional American Citizens is lack of organization. Just local neighborhood teams in a 3 klick radius of one’s AO, are non-existent. While the domestic communists are organized and practicing/implementing organized attacks TradAms are not counterattacking. Yes, there are some organized, neighborhood militias. Good for those fortunate folk. But, in the grand scheme of reality in Amerika, the bad guys have it together. The good guys, sadly, do not.

    Never in my lifetime did I expect to see and potentially experience Sarajevo 2 in our country. Yet, most likely that is where we will be.

      Unfortunately I 100% agree. Lack of organization is killing us, we tend to be individualistic where they tend to be drones. It’s hurting us right now.
