ANTIFA COMMAND STRUCTURE


ANTIFA COMMAND & CONTROL STRUCTURE IN FIELD ACTION.
STRUCTURE, INSIGNIA AND OTHER IDENTIFIERS.
Antifa tactical units are organized into standard ‘company sturctrure’ of up to 20 individual soldiers under the immediate control of a comany commander. While there are ‘special units’, most notable the ‘reconnaissance & coordination’ teams of bicyclists, the base of the C&C structure for Antifa is the company.

Company commanders are ‘first lieutenants’ and may be idenfied in the field by their actions within the group, and frequently by possession of DX SDR units of some form. These ‘duplex (send/receive) software defined radio’ units will be small, and most probably attached to a smart phone. It is through the SDR’s that the encrypted commands are passed to operational units. On arrest, 1st Lieutenants have been observed disarding their identifying equipment as well as destroying their phones.First Lieutenants can also be identified as being the local hub for bicycle traffic. In observations of rioting/looting activity, particularly with long distance videos of qualtity, bicyclists can cleary be seen reporting to 1st Lieutenants & even seeking them out in the mob. For this activity, bicyclists have been noted to employ ‘proximate apps’ to locate their units & commanders.

The Anitfa field orgnaization has up to 4 companies reporting to a ‘captain (coordinator)’. Antifa Captians may be identified by common actions & equipment. Captains are ‘free floating’ within the mob movement, but will always be associated with increased bicycle traffic as well as ’emblems’ of authority/command. These emblems include sepcific types & shapes of video camera gear. Antifa soldiers are trained to center on the emblems of both 1st Lieutentant as well as Captains. Some of the Captains have been observed pulling their command together by holding up the long lens video camera overhead while running a pattern of flashes from the light bars. These are swept around the mob & new organization results.

Captains control and coordinate their company commanders by use of the SDR devides & will be observed in the field speaking into throat microphones while receiving by ear plugs or in-built headphones in their helmets. So far, all identified captains have been observed to be wearing some form of short coverage helmets. These appear to be adapted from the forms used by rock climbers. Captains will also be indentified by the apps loaded on their phones, the SDR units,

In field actions, captains can be most frequently spotted by their movements coordinating 1st lieutentants. Their most often observed task is enforcing discipline during the riots. In video footage of the day time looting in CA, the captains can be observed running up to enforce movement of specific companies that had been bogged down in looting, rather than attending to the mission being directed by the captain. In such incidents the first action of the captain is to force the soldiers attention on the video camera being waved around. Once recognition of rank is obtained, the captains can be seen pushing & forcing Antifa soldiers to specific actions, including pointing out their 1st Lieutenants. Captains have also been observed directing companies to attack specific locations they were identifying from maps on their phones. Looting has been preplanned for specific strategic and tactical goals as has been observed with the complex Antifa C&C actions at the looting of the Melrose high end Art store in CA.

In the field, Antifa C&C structure can be observed to include a ‘Colonel’ rank. These Colonel Antifa commanders are identified by being always accompanied by a ‘squad’ of up to half company strength used to control & protect the Colonel within the mob movements. Colonels have been identified as their supporting soldiers created paths for them through active riot areas. Other identifiers include near constant attendance by bicyclists, many of whom have ‘rolling command centers’ of digital & other equipment on racks on the bikes. As with Captains, the Colonels will also most frequently be seen wearing helmets, many with antenna off the back. These are part of the encrypted SDR systems that have been found to be hotspots of radio activity during riots. Antifa relies heavily on digital equipment, but other than minor levels of encryption, appears to be unsophisticated in wider applications, nor do they appear to be aware of their vulnerability to location by EMF triangulation.

The Antifa command and control structure, as so far observed, does not expose any levels higher than Colonel to visibility. All the ‘General’ level field officers have so far only been observed in vehicles being used as coordination centers. These have been noted to be extensively modified with electronic support systems.

The structure of Antifa in the field most closely resembles the ‘color’ revolutions created by the CIA. The tactics employed so far in these Antifa field actions have very simiular targets & tactics as was observed as far back in time as the Viet Nam conflict, and in other arenas in which the CIA created wars and destabilized regimes.

While this is the end of this report on the Antifa C&C structure, it is worth noting that, in the observations taken from video footage, there is a suggestion of an ‘Unknown Actor’ (UA) within the activites involved in the looting. This UA is, like Antifa, organized, and can have many operatives within the mob at any given point. This UA does not appear to be engaging in escalation, rather appears to be most focused on ‘tagging’ the Antifa, with the presumed goal of identifying active members. These ‘tagging’ incidents have been observed employing very sophisticated UV light reflective paint ‘dots’ and ‘lines’ being placed on individual Antifa by UA agents using what appears to be a ‘nylon tipped marker’. Several of these markers with no product identifying marks have been recovered in debris following looting episodes. Also in one instance, a small bag of magnetic field reflective ‘dots’ of self-adhesive vinyl was also recovered. It is assumed that UA is using these as trace & track methods for their own purposes. The UA agents are exceptionally well trained and disciplined, exhibiting awareness of video activity sufficient to allow these agents to not yet be identified.

So with organization like that the branding "terrorist organization" is easier.
Did trump ever do it or just talk about it?

Our govt nailing these groups to a standstill in
short order, is simply a matter of will to do so.

Totally. In about 2001, as a result of some legal research, I came across the CALEA legislation and followed that down the wormhole. CALEA, back then, was the precursor to our now fully developed surveillance state. Side bar, my understanding is this system was operational prior to the 911 event, and was operated by an Israeli contractor. It was also used by the contractor to spy on individuals in the United States.

I'll get to the main point here in a minute. CALEA is the acronym for, Communication Assistance for Law Enforcement Agencies. What it required by law was the complete overhaul of the telecommunications system, resulting in the replacement of the analog switches that were used in telephone companies. The new equipment had to have the capability to allow law enforcement to, from a computer in an office anywhere to establish and conduct roving wire taps on any subject, anywhere with a simple computer program. I worked for a temp agency at one point and our job was to remove the old switch equipment from the exchange, after the new equipment was installed. Yes, after, because the new equipment, being digitally based, had a significantly smaller foot print.

The point: These so called operators are going to be allowed to conduct their missions for only as long as it takes for the FBI to collect all the digital data they need to identify and indict them, resulting in the break up of the operation. What they don't realize is, the US military has been dealing with people a lot more sophisticated then these pukes for the last 20 years and the trickle down tech is like, game changing. Consider also, Black Asphalt. The tracking cameras now found at intersections all over the US. Funny how some of these big drug busts or criminal operators are suddenly pulled over in the middle of nowhere for a traffic violation and, whallah, look what or who we found.

The question is: Will they and their organization be rolled up or not? I believe any group could get close enough off the shelf tech to do the same thing. Got phone sniffer?

We all understand the digital encyclopedia of all people. Just look up a person and investigate all the data. Trump has the NSA to do this for him, hope he is.

It was interesting that they added the UA info, or dis info......it's doable, is it truly being done.

Contact tracing could be a huge tool in taking down domestic terrorists.

The FBI is no longer our friend. Now what?

Whatever. Arrest them! Get them off the streets and then go after the big fish.

When that's finished, go after China.

I'm extremely tired of CV-19 and looters.

Not true, Seeker. There are still some perfectly fine agents who care about this country -- they just don't work in DC for the most part. It's the CIA that's gone rogue.

This could be a good thing or a bad thing. A lot depends on who is in charge and how the word "Terrorist" is defined.

So they have learned how they operate in the field this will help in the near future when they are there.
Just a matter of when to make the right move and capture some of the equipment and quickly use against them.
Cell phones will reveal contacts.

American Partisan is one of the best resources we have at the moment. I highly recommend spending some time and browsing all the articles on that site. Tons of “how to” for comms and other related topics on counter insurgency operations.

Scroll down to the last comment on that article from “ANON 1278” which is a link to some antifa site where the author goes into a long explanation of the tactics they used in Minneapolis to burn down the 3rd precinct building.
It’s a treasure trove of info detailing their goals but more importantly their tactics.
I’d link it here but those are the last people I would want back tracing to this place and bringing unwanted attention that we definitely don’t need. I won’t copy and paste either because it’s extremely long with lots of pictures.
