Michael Yon: ANTIFA and other clowns better have their OPSEC on
2020-06-03
Happy hunting, guys!
[Facebook] ANTIFA and other clowns better have their OPSEC on, but my strong guess is that they already screwed up so much on OPSEC that they are about to know what it's like to be hunted by real predators who are straight up killers and love their jobs.

ANTIFA clowns probably have little idea at how quickly and surely their networks and nodes will be mapped. Minutes. Especially if you carry a phone or similar device, they will know everyone you met with, everywhere you went, books you browsed online, where you travelled, when you travelled, what time you hit the toilet, when you sleep.

They will know if you are gay or not by the way your handle your phone. They will know more about you than you know about you.

They will know every financial transaction. If any billionaire or famous person has supported you, they will know.

All compromised. All your contacts around the world. And your contacts' contacts, where they vacation, who your girlfriend or boyfriend is sleeping with while you are playing ANTIFA.

They may share your information or that of your contacts with foreign intelligence services who may target you or your contacts overseas.

They will know any journalists you contact -- or if maybe you are a journalist at, say, CNN -- who nightlights as ANTIFA.

If you are a cop, or married to one, they will know. If you are in the US military, you will be caught. Instantly.

They might not say a word.

They might just watch you for years. Many years. Or they might blow a hole in your wall and you wake up with a gun in your face.

Or, maybe, many years from now when you thought you got away, a small team will bundle you off a beach at night and onto a dark boat and your disappearance will barely make a footnote, and may never even hit the news.

You are up against big boys and girls who play by adult rules.

#24  an unredacted Oz Walsh Report for the GSM world.
For the US - the electronic frontier properly covers Gore's CALEA wiretap act
For the US - look at the sensors in your tires that broadcast all sorts of stuff to the EPA
And when you do the pollution test on your car the state gets the time and place of everywhere you have been in that car since the last test
Then the cell phones...

#23  Wonder if upon release they are told to burn a different city down to avoid too much embarrasment.

#22  They're already being released from jail.

#21  To late. We need their names. We know who they are. Lets get on with this and get them in jail.

#20  It is much more likely that "they" view ANTIFA and looters as nascent colectivos in service to "them" and "their" agenda.

That's because they _are_ colectivos... essentially.

#19  /\ They couldn't or didn't want to find Flynn's original 302. However, they did try to find Russian collusion everywhere (even when it didn't exist anywhere) except with HRC and her camp followers.

#18  #13 Largely because the FBI didn't want to find Whitey Bulger, being on their payroll for so long and having serious dirt on H. Paul Rico, Vino Connolly and, well, the rest of the Boston FBI office.

Guess who covered it up when he was Director of the FBI?

Why, none other than our friend Robert Mueller.

#15  They did catch the UnaBomber, but that was because they didn't figure out his targets were conservatives until after the fact.

#14  /\ Not anxious to find Nadal Hasan, the Awan family, the Tsarnaev bros, Flynn 302's, etc.

#13  It took 18 years to find Whitey Bulger.

#12  It took 18 years to find Whitey Bulger. 60's radical and cop killer Katherine Ann Power was on the run for 23 years after being put on the FBIs most wanted list in 1970. Often times, the police get the wrong house in a high risk-entry and bust into some poor schlump's house--mistaken identity does happen. Just saying.

If you don't mind living the street life, there is always one of those "Sanctuary Cities" like San Francisco to get lost in. You might have to operate on a cash basis only and dump the cell phone and computer. You need to make certain your DNA doesn't end up in some data base. (The French Foreign Legion and a new identify is not an option if you are wanted for a serious crime.)

The article makes one wonder if and how long a person could remain invisible in today's world?

#8  It's our OPSEC, I'm worried about. Tough to run a counter-insurgency when you bosses in Congress are on the other side.

#7  The OPSEC will be used on us not establishment tools like Antifa.

#5  I can only hope this man is given the authority he needs to go after these animals. And that punishments be appropriate. And that those punishments stick. And that they learn and not become more hardened.

#4   Nice presentation, TW!

Mr. Yon did all the work, Skidmark — all I did was copy and paste.

#3  I hope Yon is not thinking of the intelligence folks for 20 or 30 years ago. I hope he's right.
