As I said before, I was told about the torch march on Daily Stormer I think on Wednesday, the 9th. A bunch of folks, local and here on twitter, had been reading DS and letting me know of stuff.

That was the first I'd heard of it, but didn't know where it would be. My first guess was Darden Towe. I ruled it out because it's far away and has nothing noteworthy, and Alb Co had denied a permit request there previously.

I also worried about Tonsler and Washington Parks, because of their ties to the Black community and the stories that fash terrorized a Black neighborhood on May 13.

There's only a handful of places you can pull this off in Charlottesville, and three of them were being monitored by police for the upcoming rally. That left UVa as the only obvious choice.

As it's now been revealed through the Discord logs and this report, my hunches were right. But what's interesting is I went through that whole process after the fusion center claimed "anarchist groups" knew about the event.

So where/how did the FC get that info? The report says that Kesslee had been hinting of stuff on the Friday night as early as July.

But if an anarchist group knew, and if the FC knew they knew... it's like a nesting doll here.

It seems like it must follow that a group has a mole, a group posted about it in an unsecure place, or the Discord was infiltrated by someone feeding info to both leftists and LE.

Alternatively, perhaps the FC wrote that report after Azzmador posted about tiki torches and assumed anarchist groups would see his post.

Whatever the case, it reveals that LE has been monitoring "anarchist groups" (no shocker) and was aware of the event and could have done the same process of elimination I did days later to prevent the event.

I'm just kind of thinking out loud about this because it's so striking how this all this intel gathering went down, apparently among both LE and anarchist groups, yet neither had any strong showing at UVa on the 11th.

I had the location confirmed to me by a journalist who was interviewing me that Friday morning. So it was definitely known widely by then but fuck if I was the last to know.

If that's not proof that I'm neither a fed snitch nor a member of an anarchist group, then I dunno what is. But apparently I was late af on all this.
