I often think as much about what I don't see in a scene as much as what I do.
Not one politician in Britain has managed to take time out of their day to visit or pay tribute to the disabled and hard-of-hearing victim, Stephen Ogilvie, in Belfast.
That speaks volumes.
@BigDickBarclay We were allowed to have basic cough drops from the mini PX. Guy must have wrote to his mom about it, she sent him a whole care package of all sorts of flavorful, good cough drops. Drill sergeant said "What the fuck is this?" Dumped them on ground and stomped them all to bits.
To protect yourself from COVID, I advise my Irish brothers to:
• Wear a mask.
• Use decentralized encrypted mesh networks like BitChat to communicate over short distances (a crowd or a city block).
• Avoid transmitting sensitive data over apps like Telegram or Signal. GCHQ can read it.
• For sensitive information, old school is cool. Good ol’ fashioned “Sneakernet” (physically walking with an SD card or note).
• Scout your routes and meeting spots in advance.
• Compartmentalize: only share what the other person needs to know. Loose lips sink ships.
• Learn basic countersurveillance: vary your routines, use public transport creatively, and watch for tails.
• Don’t carry your cellphone with you on an op.
Most importantly, have fun.
