> But it doesn't help me in trying to figure out WTF is actually fucking real anymore. Thats something we have to work on. Theres a lot of 'playbooks' out there about how the state operates. One example: It calls for a protest, and then frames those who show up. Other times it calls for a protest, then nothing happens. How do you tell which is which? If the state is **reacting**, then chances are good, the very reason you're seeing a lot of "don't goes" is because the state is scared, and doesn't want people there to film the actions it will blame on the state's enemies. If the state is being **proactive** it will likely call for big protests, and will *shut down* any attempts to discourage going. This is just one example. There definitely needs to be a centralized source for rumors, people *we* vetted in terms of reliability, to use as our *own* journalists or reviewers just so we can all in aggregate get a broad picture of what the majority of us see or believe so we can head off subversion and disinformation by the state. In general you can't act **effectively** if you don't have good information and that forces you to always act on the defensive, which ideologically puts you on the back foot. So **intelligence** here is more important than **operations** or **logistics**. Which I think is part of the reason the state has moved to cut off communications *first*.
