For some background I'd like you to consider firing up GPT in your spare time, and ask it about the types of categories you'd see of people or groups in intelligence operations. Brave Browser gives you access to a GPT that is less trackable than most, especially with a VPN (don't use their VPN, always maintain a separation of services for maximum anonymity.)

You'll get phrases like this:

Useful Idiot

Unwitting supporter of a cause, unaware of manipulation.

Asset

Individual providing information to an intelligence agency.

Agent

Actively and knowingly working for an intelligence agency.

Agent of Influence

Uses position to sway opinion for a foreign power.

Sleeper Agent

Inactive until activated to carry out a mission.

Double Agent

Pretends to spy for one agency while working for another.

Mole

Infiltrated spy providing intelligence from within.

Cutout

Intermediary used to pass information between agents.

Unwitting Agent

Unknowingly used to pass along intelligence.

Non-Official Cover (NOC)

Operates without diplomatic immunity, often in non-governmental roles.

Provocateur

Infiltrates to encourage illegal or rash behavior.

Now, what category is the Patriot Front?

It's one thing to just call them Feds. But this is wrong, but only in categorization.

Why? The most compelling reason is this recent whistleblower incident:

The highlight of this? Basically, the FBI is hiding some significant facts about the warrant that was used in the CDA Patriot Front case.

What this MOST LIKELY MEANS?

In my opinion, PF is potentially:

1. A Cutout organization
2. A Provocateur organization
3. An unwitting/useful idiot organization

Based on their Tactics, Training, and Procedures I think we can safely discard option 3.

Based on the same, especially given the hanky panky we've seen with the police and their interactions with the PF pretty much everywhere (helping them stay secret, not unmasking them whenever an arrest is made, etc.) the odds put them pretty evenly for either being a cutout for an agency/political org or a Provocateur for same.

Keep in mind that at this point in the Republic, there isn't much difference between an agency and a political org if they are org backed.

Frogs: OK, Star Commander, I see what you're saying, but what does any of this actually MEAN?!

It means several things.

First: Complicity. The FBI is clearly not the monolith some people think it is. Nor are the other alphabet agencies, even if they can dump a fuckton of red tape on specific people when they choose to due to political pressure.

Second: The PF is ALMOST CERTAINLY making sure that their highest risk operations (like the CDA OP where they rapidly replaced agents to get the "correct" result) are also the most likely to be composed of useful idiots. Angry people and locals that don't know better that haven't done any research, but are happy to go out and protest. The Left has perfected this for decades. Why wouldn't they do the same thing when they start engineering false flag operations?

Finally, it also means that THE BEST WAY of getting more data on the NOCs that hide in regular PF operations is to forcibly disrupt even their low level operations. That's the sort of thing that makes the Ray Epps style NOCs, fed or politial agents, obvious.

Frogs: But Star Commander, What if they REALLY ARE MOSTLY FEDS?

IF they are, and I'm not buying that for several reasons, my best assumption would be that they are agents from either the least known agencies or the shitty agencies.

Those would be FOR EXAMPLE:

1. Least known: USPIS, USPHS
2. Most Shitty: DEA, ATF

And they would almost all have some level of prior military experience given the TTPs we are seeing. PF engages VERY DIFFERENTLY compared to Black Bloc tactics for example even though superficially some bits seem similar.

Finally, the gov had for a significant period of time post 9/11 engaged in massive levels of information sharing. In fact, the only time I've seen the level of info being shared get significantly scaled back since then has been once Biden took office.

But there would have been a bit more spillage around PF if they were a homegrown mutli-state fed op.

I welcome discussion on my premise, analysis, and conclusions.
