Solid S2 coming from one of our readers. They’re better organized than they’re given credit for and the real commissars have a lot of training. Read the original here. - NCS

ANTIFA COMMAND STRUCTURE

ANTIFA COMMAND & CONTROL STRUCTURE IN FIELD ACTION. STRUCTURE, INSIGNIA AND OTHER IDENTIFIERS.

Antifa tactical units are organized into standard ‘company structure’ of up to 20 individual soldiers under the immediate control of a company 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 identified 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 discarding 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 quality, bicyclists can clearly 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 Antifa field organization has up to 4 companies reporting to a ‘captain (coordinator)’. Antifa Captains 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 specific types & shapes of video camera gear. Antifa soldiers are trained to center on the emblems of both 1st Lieutenant 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 divides & 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 identified by the apps loaded on their phones, the SDR units,

In field actions, captains can be most frequently spotted by their movements coordinating 1st lieutenants. 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 similar 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 activities 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.

After action report that I came across this week.

Being located in Minneapolis, and having a front row seat to the George Floyd riots, I spent a few days with friends breaking down the tactical and operational activity that we were seeing in real time. This write up provides confirmation and a wider deeper evaluation of the highly organized and sophisticated logistical activities of the riots of 2020.

Yeah, but: oath keepers, boogaloo boyz, proudboyz etc. That’s where the ‘doh-j’ focus will be. You know anti vaxxer Trump cult folks.

Well, it should be easy to snipe a captian flashing a camera in the air. Always take the high ground.

Just wondering: I’ve heard claims that Antifa infiltrated the January 6th rally and were the ones who triggered the initial assault on the Capitol. Were any individuals in that crowd dressed, equipped, and acting in the ways attributed to Antifa leadership in this article?

Any organization organized like this is not employing free speech.

They are trying to overthrow our government.

Likely that is no coincidence.

I long believed that JFK was killed, not by the CIA, but by a group Ex-CIA agents or contract workers for the CIA. The CIA recognized this very early after the assassination and then shifted into bigtime CYA mode.

I would not be surprised that a similar group of disgruntled Ex-CIA agents may be involved with ANTIFA. The possibility also exists that this is the CIA in action, as well.

If one were to take out a Colonel group with flash bangs, would anyone hear a noose?

Flat tires on bikes do wonders.

Fire Depts use “Surround and Drown” to control the spread around a lost building.

If one were to let it be known ALL in attendence are subject to action, would anyone care about the clean up?

Enquiring minds want to know.

I don’t know personally, but watching the videos it is a coordinated effort with people moving away at specific times - others have said as much. There are too many oddities not to have been some sort of ‘play’ with crisis actors who may have been Antifa or one of the allied groups.

If the cops stopped defending aftifa they would crumble.

"Flat tires on bikes do wonders."

And diesel and matches do real wonders on bus tires too.

When confronting such miscreants, every electronic device should be treated as if it were a cannon.

Partner, you got it right.

Wray is the biggest problem as FBI Chief.

Christopher Wray (current FBI Chief) needs to be canned but it will not happen with that Biden.

Antifa are friends of the communist democrats and they are funded by George Soros et al. Therefore they are good to go but those who support Antifa and BLM maintain that American patriots are the biggest threat to our country. Obviously this illegitimate regime in DC is scared to death of being removed from power by the good patriotic Americans. We are a danger to the criminal cabal that rules DC therefore we must be canceled at all cost. This struggle is only in its infancy.

Take out the skateboarders and the bike riders, they are the starters of the trouble, then work backwards.
