Ok. Now let's talk about what I know I did SIGINT from 2005-2010, which means all my knowledge is 10 years out of date. But I know the kind of information a phone can give and the way analysts use it

(Technically this is all classified. But it's info you can find elsewhere and more importantly, as far as I'm concerned, the US violated their end of the contract when they started using this shit on American citizens)

That LLVI shit they talk about in The Nation article? I was trained on that system We can pick up every phone call you make. We can read every text. It's a matter of putting your number into the system. The machine does the rest

The "low level" part means the machine is short-range. The LLVI system they use/used is in Portland. This is a tactical machine, so it's portable. They can set it up anywhere they have a generator and a satellite uplink to a TS network (also portable, I used to maintain it)

This machine and others can also determine your location. Even in 2010 before ubiquitous smart phones we could do this. I have no doubt it's even easier now THEY CAN DO THIS EVEN IF YOUR PHONE IS OFF If your battery is in your phone, it is a homing beacon

What do we do with this information? The Nation article nailed it: use of this technology means they think Antifa is hierarchical terrorist network, probably organized in cells like Al Qaeda They're not just claiming this to win an election. They believe their own bullshit

Somewhere in a DHS basement, people like me are creating network diagrams They're mapping who talks to who and trying to figure out who the leaders are. Where are the orders coming from? Who's running the show? Obviously the answer is "no one," but they'll find someone anyway
