Get them on film, tie them to Democrats, and turn their activities into campaign ads.

Peaceful, they are not.

The cure is simple.... let the Marines be armed with Pugi Sticks (AKA...pugel sticks)

[yorkie01]

It’s time to begin enforcing sedition laws again. These people are nothing but lowlife anarchists!

Good ad, but I think it should end with a plea to call your Congressman and tell him/her to demand an end to attacks on our military.

The Tacoma Mall (WA) and its military recruitment center will come under heavy assault Tomorrow ,Sat the 15th by anti-war / anti-military activist who are vowing to stop commerce at the mall and harass soldiers and their families shopping there. These thugs are even being told to look for cars in the mall parking lot with Ft Lewis, and McChord AFB stickers on them.

Please, Please, Please if you are within driving distance of Tacoma show up to support the troops and send these rats back to Olympia and Seattle with their rat tails between their legs. The anti-war protest begins at 12:30, we need to be there earlier. One Support the Troops group is reporting in front of the USMC recruiters office. Hope to see you there.

[SJSAMPLE]

But, they support the troops ?

[Edgerunner]

Pathetic is more like it. They attack the implementers of policy, not the policy makers. These people a drama queens...Someone is gonna get hurt!

[Vaduz]

The MSM is pimping them.

Washington has been targeted before:

SPOKANE, WASHINGTON

SPOKANE RECRUITING CENTER VANDALIZED

Anti-military activists discuss the KXLY TV-4 report, “Spokane: Grand jury indicts anarchist over recruiting station vandalism.” The discussion takes place at Infoshop.org – CLICK HERE TO VIEW IT.
One individual says:  “the proper response to this is for people to vandalize more recruiting stations.”

Other comments concern how individuals can take actions to avoid being caught attacking recruiting centers.

And another individual admonishes:  “Never admit to anything ever, make them have to form their case. Completely. No plea deals. No coping up. Period.”

The proper response to this is for people to vandalize more recruiting stations. It’s important to stand up to the authorities and show them that we will not be intimidated.

On a more practical note, I think our movement needs to have a more prominent discussion about how to engage in actions and not get caught. NOBODY should ever post anything to their MySpace page that shows evidence of ANY crime. If you have to post photos to the Internet, post them to a third party site like Indymedia. It also sounds like people shouldn’t upload photos directly from their cameras. Perhaps scan and photocopy photos. Better yet, DON’T TAKE PICTURES. It’s not vital that evidence of your action be recorded for the world to see.

And please people, don’t be a dumbass and tag “ELF” at the scene of some action. That will only worsen your prison time if you get caught. Nobody has to know WHO did an action. Please, please get over the idea that a name has to be attached to an action. The action will speak for itself.

I can’t believe how sloppy these guys are! Geez! I mean, think about it, there are at least a dozen ways they could’ve averted the situaton. Merely removing the IPTC data in the pictures would’ve resulted in a second level of plausible deniablity (the fingerprints alone would not have been enough to jail them, period; they had to get a warrent to get more information for that very reason). And simply wearing gloves would’ve prevented any leads from even existing. Never admit to anything ever, make them have to form their case. Completely. No plea deals. No coping up. Period.

Use something like XnView and go to Edit -> Metadata -> Remove EXIF data, then -> Edit -> Metadata -> Remove IPTC data. That’s how I do it with my current program. You can also just do a batch “reencode” of the file which will remove the IPTC/EXIF data automagically. Also, changing the date on the files to something weird can be useful.

What strikes me here is the failure to understand the technologies that were being used. Metadata will absolutely be enough evidence to tie you to a particular .jpg file, especially if you own the camera in question. So even if you were to delete the files after uploading them, it’s irrelevant. Please people, understand the technology you’re utilizing and be sure to cover your tracks in every way possible.

While I think the mistakes that were made SHOULD BE analyzed and discussed, and prevented from occuring again, I do think people should really support people that do such actions, regardless of the ‘stupid mistakes’ that were made. And to prove how to pull it off without mistakes, people should, in solidarity, duplicate the actions in their own towns and show how it could be done and gotten away with.
How about that?

I think alot of young anarchists really need to take heed to this. Think you can’t go to jail really easy if you are careless and don’t plan, and use secruity culture, think again.

Couple thoughts on how this could all be avoided:

1.) Don’t leave evidence behind.
2.) Don’t leave finger prints.
3.) Don’t talk about illegal shit in your home, car, or anywhere else where the FBI may be recording. Turn your cell phone off, because it might be used as a listening device.
4.) Don’t talk about who you thought did other illegal actions, ever.
5.) Don’t post pictures of illegal stuff that can connect you with them.
6.) Don’t have evidence at your home. Get rid of it.
7.) Don’t go around spraying your group’s same around town and then expect go not get caught.

“Washington has been targeted before:”

And Evergreen State College where many of these seditious thugs are coming from in Olympia is far to the left of even the famed Berkley in CA. It may be a smaller campus but it has a much higher percentage of far far left student body and faculty.

Thanks for posting that. Code Pink came and disrupted the press conference today.

It was fascinating to watch them and how vile they are!!

Dang Syncro. Putting that in a list makes it even more disgusting. I’m sending pizzas to my local guys tomorrow if they’ll be in the office.
