For y'all in america out protesting, or planning on protesting, heres some tips and links. Hope it helps. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
- PRACTICE GOOD OPSEC NOW.
You will be tracked, you will be traced. If the cops find anything on you they will use it to full force in detaining you. America IS the largest anti-radical police state in the world, and will attempt to stop ANY *OPPOSITION - peaceful or otherwise. Don’t organise on facebook, tumblr, reddit, discord or other insecure, private services. It might work in the short term, but after a while YOU WILL BE FOUND OUT AND REPORTED BY THESE SERVICES. Consider ENCRYPTED and INDEPENDENT services, such as RISEUP.NET. WHATSAPP MAY BE ENCRYPTED, BUT IS STILL OWNED BY FACEBOOK, DO NOT USE IT.
- DO NOT BRING YOUR PHONE TO ANY PROTEST
Your phone and other devices can be used to track you, triangulate your position. Do not forget how important OPSEC is. DO NOT RECORD YOUR PROTESTS. A riot can last temporarily, any evidence can cost you your lifetime. If any recording gets out THE MEDIA WILL USE THIS AGAINST US.
- COVER UP, MASK UP, learn to BLACK BLOC.
There are resources for this throughout the internet for this, I’ve included some here. DO NOT let your face be seen. If you can, wear shoes that you don’t normally wear, and get your comrades at protests to wear the same. Black Bloc is about anonymity, the more uniform you are, the better. If you can, destroy any cameras that may record you. DO NOT speak to journalists, turn AWAY from their cameras.
- GET A WEAPON, LEARN TO USE IT
It doesn’t matter if its a gun, pepper spray, a knife, or a stick you’re flying a flag off. YOU WILL NEED TO DEFEND YOURSELF. If you cannot defend yourself, then stay away from protests, or stick to other protesters that will defend you. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
