Spooks and Glowies are everywhere, and we conspiracy investigators a just a tinge more prone to paranoia than others. Eventually we will need to organize.
What are some steps you can take to ensure your members are not infiltrators if you wished to create communes, unions, communities, protest groups, volunteer orgs, etc.?
A vetting process won't really help against a capable adversary. It's best to assume your group will be compromised and try to compartmentalize as much as possible. This is what splinter cells are for. Adopt strategies that work in a trustless system wherever possible.
There's a bunch of good stuff on here about OPSEC. Also check out his website and medium articles. https://grugq.github.io/
And all this time I thought splinter cell was just a badass video game title
Everything below is fiction and any resemblance to real places or people is coincidental.
I don't have linked in or any social media - I had/have a stalker. I think any kind of social style vetting wouldn't work for a lot of us.
I don't know that you could keep glowies out. It is literally their jobs to infiltrate.
I think the most important step is email from work email. Majority of white collar jobs provide work email for security reasons. And verifying their ID. You can run a credit report on them too. All of us probably know a friend who works in sales or real estate or such, where people get loans. They will be in the loop on how to run a simple background check on someone
Sounds like a great "community" to be part of. I am sure feds won't ever be able to bypass this "vetting" process
Oh noes, Its hopeless fellow goy. Before you even take first step to organize a group of like-minded friends, you're doomed. Because there is no perfect way to screen someone, you should just give up on the whole idea and not do any screening at all
I've read it in various fiction books, but above procedure is how these books describe problematic business (like people selling poisonous non consumable products, various clubs that use monopoly money to gamble and so on) screen potential customers.
Yes this procedure will not uncover a deep sleeper agent that lives a double life, but it is much better than trusting a random stranger
If they are friends, I don't have to screen them.
Watch out for:
Big land, estate owners
How many Walkers have you killed...
Same way you create trust in all relationships. Do things together, get to know each other's family and friends. The level of trust you achieve is the determining factor for potential activities. It's not a quick process.
This. And you need to know how they make their money, and not in "oh i have bitcoin" way. Biggest red flags is seeminly clueless person with vague job in a vague place, but somehow they never short on money or time. "Oh i work with clients on developing strategies" that kind of thing.
Almost forgot. It has to be a boys club. Dont accept any women, coz thats the easiest way for bad ppl to ruin things
I think you best bet is to only let your stuffies sit at the tea table. Hard to be a spook when you're a cotton filled fuzzy animal.
Deal in honesty, and have nothing to hide.
This too, just being above board. Its not illegal to start a book club.
Test them. Look for inconsistencies. Keep in mind… it’s as much about recruiting as it is about securing. The most secure group of 3 people isn’t as capable as a well managed semi secure group of 300.
What is a glowie?
Search the internet for the term
Do you know what the term means?
Nope. I know nuuuutziiing!
Mate I'm like 90 years old. You're wasting the time I have left.
So you know what spooks are but not glowies? Why don’t you use context clues to determine they are of a similar ilk?
Because I'm stupid. Kiss my dumb ass.
