A security professional shares some observations of his surveillance of Antifa-organized "protests" and their security and counter-surveillance teams:
SOME
LESSONS LEARNED
So what are the lessons for
patriots?
- The protests are organized by a
central organization.
- They have trained and
professional security teams.
- They actively conduct
counter-surveillance.
- Park sufficiently far enough
distance away to discourage anyone following, and walk in.
- They are completely willing to
use arms and force.
- The presence of body armor
indicates a willingness to use violence.
- Blending in is far better than
direct confrontation.
- Have a fully stocked and ready
first aid kit, such as a BearFAK.
- Do I believe there will be a
time when confrontation is needed? Absolutely.
However, let’s be smart and gather
intelligence slowly and carefully first.
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.
I wouldn't be surprised if they had overwatch via drones and
spotters going before long, if they don't already.
