The Lefts Missing Piece Of The Puzzle, Comms - No More

                                             John Brown Gun Club

I was just reading an article that spoke to the advancement of AntiFa and BurnLootMurder Inc. militia groups in the use of firearms over the past four to five years. No longer do you see the old SKS or Mosin Nagant long guns at Socialist range days anymore. No, now you see a more sophisticated grouping of long guns that include AK and AR variants.

Along with more UpToDate long guns you see a change in clothing that is worn on range days too. The Guevara beret. red scarfs around the neck, and bandoliers have been replaced with load bearing vests and chest rigs. I would be willing to bet that they would look not unlike 'good old boys' at a range in your hometown.

What has changed within the ranks of the SRA (Socialist Rifle Association) or JBGC (John Brown Gun Club). The answer is simple – Former U.S. military infantrymen have joined with these groups. They have become the DI’s (Drill Instructors) for AntiFa and BurnLootMurder Inc.


 
Even with the increased militarism of the woke crowd, I truly have not worried to much because the right had comms sowed up. Without a firm foundation of comms the leftist guerrilla fighter lacked synchronized movement or the ability to transmit surveillance intel to a TOC (Tactical Operations Center) in a quick way. Well until now.

I was surfing the net and I came across a professionally written article from the Indigenous Anarchist Federation titled, Skills for Revolutionary Survival; 5. Communications Equipment for Rebels.. Once I opened it, I said, “damn! They have or will have comms now.”

The article features four parts.

> Immediate Comrades / Affinity Group / Collective (Your Squad)
> Larger Community of Accomplices
> Regional Networks of Resistance
> National / International News & Resource Sharing

Last, this article has suggestions on obtaining ones amateur radio license. 

Legality

•   If you are operating a base station from your home or from a co-op, get your licence & follow the law. They can
        quickly track down fixed locations of transmission.
•   If you are interested in transmitting outside of the law, make sure that your equipment is discrete while being
        transported and make sure you widely vary the location and timing of transmission. Vehicle based systems should use
        removable or discrete/camouflaged external antenna.
•   If you decide to get your HAM licence, never transmit anything potentially comprimising from your home or
        workplace. Never share your call sign in relation to your politics. Your address is known to the FCC or equivalent
        National Regulatory Agency and therefore, everyone else. Websites like QRZ.com make it very easy to find someone
        once you know their callsign.
•   If you decide to get your ham licence, get a PO Box to list as your address. Getting one at the UPS or FedEx store is
        even better.
•   Becoming active in the ham community can get you lots of useful experience and technical knowledge. It also
     will clue you in to the best places to gather intelligence, should that need ever arise (this is a skill that can be
     practiced now).

For you folks who belong to a ham club I suggest you vet new applicants to your club's roster. Also, monitor visitors to a club event like Field Day.

This is a disturbing development however, not unexpected due to the formerly military leadership that has aligned themselves with the left. Now is the time to evaluate your weaknesses and adjust where appropriate. If you haven't trained of late, I still recommend NC Scout over at Brushbeater or other good trainers around the country.

   This isn't a big surprise, guerillas have been using radios since they days of Che Guevara and Castro.  Patriots have been underestimating the Left for many years.  If an ultimate fight becomes reality, I think the two sides will be evenly matched.  I encourage everyone who is interested in supporting constitutional patriots to obtain their amateur radio licenses.  The knowledge gained will reap big benefits.
 
     A member of one of the local mutual assistance groups started studying for the technician license this past Sunday, and passed the exam with a 100% on Thursday, so five days of study.  He estimates that he did approximately 30 practice exams.  His wife and kids are now studying for their technician licenses, and he's planning on obtaining his general during the next test session.  Get your licenses!

My club is putting together Technical License Class that will be a combination of text book, smart phone exam practice testing, zoom meeting's, and one weekend of 1:1 review and then taking the exam on the second day.

If any of you are interested, PM me and I will keep you abreast of the dates and other particulars. 73

Are there scanners that will pick up this sort of radio traffic?

[Jackalope]

    it depends upon how they're transmitting.  If they're using conventional FM, yes, anyone could receive their transmissions.  However, there are now many different transmission modes available and not all scanners will receive them.  Typically, the groups are using cheap Chinese Baofeng radios, which run about $25.00 and scanners can receive them.  The more expensive radios are difficult to monitor, because they could be using P25, DMR, DStar or Yaesu Fusion, and I'm not aware of any scanner that can demodulate all those modes.  There may be one available, but I expect it to be quite expensive.  For example, the Uniden Home Patrol II will demodulate P25, but it won't demodulate the other modes and the street price is $500-$600.

The chances of the Liberal side using Digital is very remote. I don't think that there is a Liberal alive that knows how to program a DMR radio. They certainly wouldn't want to use a DMR Repeater because it would be easy for anyone with a DMR radio to hear them. Simplex on DMR is a joke. From my experience with DMR, Digital won't talk across the street without dropouts and pixelating. I'd say that they will use MURS or FRS frequencies. The reports that I've heard all say that they are using FRS frequencies and certainly not observing the 1/2 watt rule. Jamming them would be a piece of cake.

    As I've mentioned before, do not underestimate their capabilities.  They may not have DMR radios, but they could have Dstar or Fusion capable radios, both of which are capable of working well on simplex, and simple to set up.  Using Yaesu Fusion it's possible to transmit photos or text on simplex, and if you don't have a System Fusion radio; it's just digital noise.  And it's possible to put those same digital mode radios, including DMR, on FRS, MURS and GMRS frequencies.  They are learning quickly.  Most of the Leftist groups are better organized than patriot groups.  They have the organization and command structure in place, and they're actively, openly recruiting.  The patriots are in catch-up mode, if they're doing anything at all.

I would like to disagree with you but I can't. They are capable of just about anything because they are like rabid dogs. They just react without thinking. At best, they follow the marching orders of the people who fund them. The real enemy are the one's who supply the money and will never have to take the blame for the actions of their useful idiots.

They have stepped up their game alot in the last few years. Many of them are using encryption on radio as well. Many of the Chinese radios have encryption built into them. We can argue the fact that its not legal to use on ham bands but these people dont care about laws they are looting and burning buildings down LOL. Ive seen alot of anytone radios with encryption in use and that means you wont be listening in with your baofeng or your scanner. They also use encryption apps like signal on their cell phones. So please dont underestimate them. They are upping their game quickly and are moving way faster than the militias and conservatives unfortunately.

[JohnyMac]

Yes they are reconprepper. Also to your point, encryption on a analog HT is as simple as a brevity or OTP code. Heck using Fldigi software on a tablet or raspberry pie, and a 10-watt Chinesium HT and you have encryption through a brevity or OTP code for under $100-.

The relatively new BaoFeng 1701 DMR radio is a great example of a inexpensive encryption HT. You can even use text with it. I have finally figured out how to use the radio as the Chinesium instructions are poor. The only negative about this radio is battery life. Which is about 24-hrs. just sitting there in RX mode.

I think they are getting ready to start pushing buttons and try to get us to start everything
