Stop communicating on encrypted networks, except to arrange meetings IRL, attend meetings in public places in ordinary clothes, just go to a gym or even a fucking mcdonalds and just be really friendly, knowing someone there might be a fellow traveler, scout out others and size up their trustworthiness before approaching them.

Advantages of IRL meetings:

  • plausible deniability, just someone who wanted to go bowling, and was looking for people to play with
  • get to actually see who you are talking to, and be better at detecting deception, lots of feds are brown or black or jew, and they can work better at getting you online than IRL
  • lots of routes of escape if needed, look around the area where the meetup is held before entering, use groups of people as cover or distraction or obstacles
  • less traceability than in encrypted chat, IRL, your words aren't in a text linked to a name that in turn is linked to an IP and a location.
  • more activities to do than in a chatroom, can be useful in more than one way (think of the tennis match in deathnote)
  • you seem human in person = less dehumanization means less psychological ease of fucking you over (some feds still have some shred of humanity)
  • less ability to be monitored, you can see a bug, wire, mic, or camera, far easier than you could detect if a channel is being monitored

Arrange offline gatherings in your area, and use those for discussion of activism, it really fucks up the feds if you do this, don't just trust some username with important info, you are probably talking to someone who hates you and would feel good about "tricking" your ass into jail.

IRL = In Real Life?

If IRL, then the concept of IFF should be followed. IFF = Identify Friend or Foe. What is a 'Friend'? Sounds all too obvious, but the obvious often is treated as a platitude and then lapses of judgment occur. A friend is someone who earns your trust. Trust is earned through many character tests and observations in behavior over time. The sum of these is friendship. What is not a friend is a stranger. Realizing this should always make one think in terms of whether the stranger is a possible foe. A stranger is 99.9 percent of people you know including acquaintances. Acquaintances are not friends and may even be family members. Remember that a friend is someone who earns your trust. Sometimes, a family member may not be worthy of your trust.

When you meet IRL, you most likely are dealing with strangers. Having a friend there is great. It's someone you can trust. At an IRL meeting, don't experience a lapse of judgment meeting a friendly out-going 'acquaintance' for being a friend. Reflecting back, I am certain now there were moles and provocateurs in IRL patriot meetings I attended. In fact, I tell people to expect ALL patriotic organizations to be infiltrated with FBI moles. They rely on felons to infiltrate organizations to target individuals to commit a crime. Entrapment is the name of the game. The FBI is very, very dirty and will even use these moles to fabricate a crime when no crime ever existed. That's why in any IRL organizations, one should be especially careful. I went to an NRA meeting many years ago, in which an individual I sat next to wanted to sell me a firearm. Now, this is perfectly legal, but he was a stranger. So, I said no thanks. I got up and moved to another seat. It turns out that no one knew there knew this guy.

In stating this, IRL meetings can be beneficial. Wearing the Armor of God also includes the wisdom in mastering ourselves:

“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves”
