They make it obvious who the mole is: "Luke Austin Lane, 21; Michael Helterbrand, 25; and Jacob Kaderli, 19, remained in custody Friday" "Lane, Kaderli and an undercover FBI agent allegedly scoped out the couple's home in Bartow County" Uh, that would be Michael Helterbrand, the obvious drug addict on the right. They're so incompetent they can't even keep their own guy's name out of the news And these are the sort of people the FBI recruit. All you need to know about The Bureau Of Felons and Incompetents is right there in the article. Rule of thumb is, no matter who you talk to, always specify before hand "I will never engage in illegal activity or advocate or promote anyone else to engage in illegal activity." And then explain to the other person "You should not trust anyone that does, or anyone that even HINTS at illegal activity. And I operate from the assumption that anyone that does is joking, not serious, and/or an informant, and so should you." This covers your bases, because 1. you still need to be able to talk to people and organize (legally), because the law may be illegitimate, a ruse, a weapon used to bludgeon and silence us, but we still have to operate within it. 2. the activities of people you are associated with can get you charged as an accessory, even if those charges don't stick they'll still hurt you. 3. informants will talk about explosives or other illegal activity to get you charged as an accessory or charge your group for conspiracy, even if you actively discourage, disagree, or even throw them out of the group, why? Because if you know about a crime, or a potential crime, and don't report it, you are now an accessory. This necessitates assuming everything is a joke, not to be taken seriously, or at least the claim thereof. The state will treat it as YOUR JOB and YOUR CRIME if you fail to report an intentional 'off-the-cuff' comment made by the state's OWN agents (this should actually be illegal and covered under entrapment because it essentially allows the state to use the heckler's veto to shutdown freedom of association), or comments made by third parties or guests in the presence of you, your group or members of your group. Even comments YOU are personally not aware of. 4. Stating upfront you're not here for violence or illegal activity makes you a defensive group by nature, attracts non-reactionaries, and discourages crazies and reactionaries. It makes your groups intent clear. It also signals to the other person that you're serious about your commitments to your beliefs and not another crazy or informant (probably). You don't want these people anyway. You want calm and level heads.Everyone says "go to your neighbors, or family", but not everyone has that, family that agree, or family that live near by, or neighbors that have the same beliefs, and relying on just that massively limits the scope of an organization, group, or movement anyway. 5. It clearly lays out consequences to any would-be-informant that if they go in talking about breaking the law, you'll immediately cut them off. This provides evidence in the event some dirtbag felon working for the incompetent bureau takes anything out of context or they try and move forward on entrapping you anyway. You have your stated intention of following the law right up front and center. All in all, most normal every day people agree with us that the federal government is destroying western society, and while many of those normal people aren't 100% on board with the idea that we're being replaced and disarmed, a large subset *do*, a set of people much *larger* than the alphabet agencies and their associates in the corporate media want you to believe. In that regard MOST people you talk to are NOT feds. Nearly all the people you can and will talk to in the process of organizing anything, are normal everyday citizens not out to nab you or entrap you for *legal* activities. That said, most people are also risk averse and follow the law, so, like in the matrix, when morpheus tells neo "anyone still in the system can be an agent", most people will report illegal activity if they know about it, and rightfully so. More than ever, when the deep state is on the hunt for a new scapegoat, a new enemy, with its eye of sauron panopticon pointed like palpaltine's bony electric finger square at the beating heart of america..more than ever it is VITAL you're square away and following the law in everything you do. Does this unnecessarily limit us? Yes. Is holding the high ground always important? No. But is the ability to communicate and organize as widely and *quickly as possible* critical? ABSOLUTELY. And so we follow the law, to the letter, whether it's convenient or not, whether it's just or not. The goal is to reach critical mass. Once you have enough people on your side, a percentage of the population, passive, and a smaller percentage active (actively organized and participating), any further *illegal* activity by federal, state, and local government will called out for what it is instead of allowed to continue as it currently is. If we want liberty and a government of just and equally applied laws, then we must use everything *within the law* to force the federal government in it's desperation to reveal just how much IT is willing to *break the law* and thus exposing it for nothing more than the illegitimate criminal organization it is. And at that point, the war hasn't begun. At that point, the *war is won.* The rest is clean up. By following this script, even if you're a "vile racist" (because we all know for example "white flight" is racism but gentrification "is racism!" too, because the federal government is full of genocidal anti-white communists)..by following this script you can build groups, organizations, and movements, lead or participate in conversations, while staying safe and sane in the new stasi america. Life, Liberty, Fraternity.
