00:03:03.300Welcome to another exciting episode of the Inarconomicon podcast.
00:03:06.380Today we are, I am celebrating my big recent post, a tactical espionage dollar store hobo, 116 pages of my most insane modern espionage, urban warfare theories, theories, the Anarchonomicon kit list,
00:03:32.060to all my secrets that I've accumulated, all the things you can do with ordinary household
00:03:41.380items you can buy at the dollar store to partake in modern espionage warfare.
00:03:50.880Big project that I've had in the work in a long time.
00:03:54.620It went out like two weeks ago under paywall, so all my glorious paid subscribers out there,
00:04:01.420Thank you so much for supporting the project.
00:04:04.960Thank you so much for keeping Anarchonomicon online and going and making it so that I do not starve in the streets.
00:04:14.400I don't have to be quite a hobo all the time.
00:12:52.680But the other thing is, like, it hasn't really, but, like, in people's psychology, it has made, like, the modern battlefield pay to win.
00:13:03.120Which, like, if you can tell from this piece, I'm very opposed to that ethos.
00:13:09.160I firmly believe in, like, some broke-ass guy who, like, just has been willing to read, like, a lot of PDFs and, like, endure a lot of suffering, his ability to, like, change the modern battlefield.
00:13:26.460Maybe this is like my Canadian, like, scouts slash cadets, like, mind of like, you know, oh, we're broke and no one thinks much of us, but we're scrappy and also we know all the dirty tricks.
00:13:44.840but uh so one of the things that i've been like
00:13:50.080i i want to write a piece on it's just like how to fight like a full-size armored platoon
00:13:58.540with garbage you know assuming you have like 36 people are willing to accept that half of the
00:14:06.200mark coming back but like that's the key like if you have like to the hobo thing like if you had0.83
00:20:25.680where it's like very plainly saying that no this is like in we're discussing a like physical
00:20:32.220fat factor of like group cohesion that is divorced from like propositions of abstract
00:20:40.000morality or like absolute morality this is like a social and internal motivational part because
00:20:46.880people tend to think they they they tend to only have that cohesion when they think that it is
00:20:53.060rightly or wrongly when they think that it's connected to the abstraction so for example
00:20:58.680where i was not not yes and no you don't remember like commissars work like the fastest way to
00:21:06.920erase the morale of the unit is just to shoot the man who is like belly aching the most and say that
00:21:15.120can be you and like that actually has a profound effect positive effect on uh unit morale and uh
00:21:23.120is quite quite effective and actually increases the unit morale in uh the dawn of war video game
00:21:30.580uh well that is important uh but yeah i mean in the in the short term uh that is true within the
00:21:39.800But I'm speaking like more broadly in terms of like winning the battle for the hearts and minds of not just your own unit, like your own unit is very important.
00:21:51.320It's perhaps the most important thing, but also everyone else that you need to persuade, because ultimately, like human political order, you know, we like this is where like the might makes right thing breaks down is like humans aren't constituted such that, you know, one person can actually exert much force.
00:22:09.800against other people no i'm gonna i'm gonna push back on that this is one of the things that uh
00:22:16.760that uh i know exactly the point you're making it's a very coherent point it's a very popular
00:22:22.400point but uh if you actually study the history of like grill insurgency one of the first things you
00:22:29.120you start to realize that uh that's not the case or if you study it honestly a lot of people like
00:22:35.940desperately want to draw the wrong conclusion from the history of real warfare
00:22:39.680but uh if you say like the campaigns of like chairman mao or like any of the uh communist
00:22:46.020rebel insertions uh they managed to get like insane amounts of support from the local populace
00:22:52.840and if you read like mao's uh guerrilla warfare or like a lot of the accounts
00:22:58.640accounts of it like the cuban revolution the first thing you realize is that it's like
00:23:04.260Oh, these guys are getting, like, public support by being incredibly vicious monsters.
00:23:10.160Like, Mao insisted that the insurgent must swim through the populace as a fish through the ocean.
00:23:18.880Public support is as vital to the insurgent as, like, oxygenated water is to the fish.
00:23:25.560You know, if the insurgent loses public support, it's as if the waterfall to the stream, to the pond has stopped, and now it's stagnant water and just, he starved.
00:23:43.940So how do you increase public support from the insurgent?
00:23:48.160and i was very clear about this terrorism that uh the fastest that and what he describes is uh
00:23:57.140that the public responds to the perception of the ability to commit violence that uh
00:24:04.780that actually the fastest way to drive public support is not to like you know really convince
00:24:11.300the public that you're doing good work or like have outreach programs and whatnot it's to like
00:24:17.980start running protection rackets on them and taxing them and like committing violence against
00:24:23.620like the one or two informants or like the people who refuse the tax and then more importantly to
00:24:30.200like bomb the government official buildings because the first thing that the public learns
00:24:37.060is that they can consistently uh is that the violence of the insurgent is consistent and
00:24:46.360unavoidable and the violence of the government is like uh weak or like or like uh inconsistent
00:24:56.760or that they can't protect protect themselves and it actually like the the kind of democratic like
00:25:04.220uh like our democracy view of like hearts and minds is completely wrong in that like
00:25:13.920okay i wouldn't disagree with any of that i shouldn't have used the phrase hearts and minds
00:25:18.180so what i mean is not that you necessarily need the support of the majority or even the
00:25:22.540like the people per se but what i mean is if you break it down if we strip down power
00:25:30.800like the origins of power let's say like um like it let's say that i'm i'm stronger than you
00:25:38.380you know i can maybe make you do what i want if you happen to be in the same room with me
00:25:44.480um you know for a period of time and maybe even beat you down to like do it a little bit
00:25:52.940outside of that room but you know it's very unlikely that i'm so strong that i can do that
00:26:00.020to two or three people at a time so on some level i have to convince people
00:26:36.180It depends on the public. I would say that it depends on the habits of the people and what they're used to and how much they're used to resisting. The Chinese who are historically very accustomed to servitude is probably a different story than a population that's not used to that.
00:26:52.680But yeah, there's nothing there's nothing untrue about what he's saying. But what I all I'm saying is like, when we talk about the morals, it's like, if you break down this idea of like, well, there is no morality, and it doesn't matter. It's like, well, that's, that's, it's an incoherent, it's a logically incoherent worldview, because even the speaker.
00:27:14.260Well, like, so for example, morality, like one of the best examples of a coherent moral, moral with like the silent E on the end, air quotes, insurgency that was heavily, that was like very effective, and it's still very effective, is the Epstein blackmail network.
00:28:11.360point like yeah they've all been like tempted in and participate in the rituals that like
00:28:16.880reified their participation and like a lot of them consented to video of themselves like
00:28:23.500taken doing all manner of stuff you know it's alleged now that like uh someone out there has
00:28:33.760video of like trump and bill clinton having sex with each other which is like an insane
00:28:40.380is that confirmed is that real uh one several of the emails that have like leaked seem to suggest
00:28:51.280that however that could be a lie that could be like uh an inside joke that like uh actually
00:28:58.440there was like something else that they refer to as trump blowing bubba you know uh which0.99
00:29:06.680You know, like, the plain reading of that is Donald Trump performed oral sex on Bill Clinton.0.97
00:29:13.480However, there are, like, you know, it might be a reference to, like, an infamously, like, lost game of golf or, like, you know, they both had, like, relations with, like, the same, like, underage girl in an order of events.0.93
00:29:36.680or it could refer to, like, a business relation or whatnot.
00:29:39.620Like, it could be a metaphor for, like, a lot of stuff.
00:29:42.020But the plain reading, like, if we assume they're just, like, that it's just, like, there isn't a, like, another level of it.
00:29:52.100The plain reading is that, and that would, like, actually fit, like, the, both those characters being, like, very deeply tied into that network.
00:30:06.560and, like, neither of them acting against the interests of who we assume was behind the Epstein Network,
00:30:17.920But, like, if you look at the Epstein Network, like, that is a very good example of an insurgent criminal network,
00:30:29.660you know, basically a guerrilla movement, you know, kidnapping, sex trafficking American girls,
00:30:35.280and, like, murdering, involved with at least a few murders that I've seen alleged, alleged, you know,
00:30:47.460as an extension of, like, a intel service, but with profound moral cohesion and that,
00:30:57.040and profound, like, moral enforcement on their, the people involved with them, their supporters,
00:31:03.920their network uh everyone who has information on them is like part of this enforced moral order
00:31:12.460of like silence and complicity and like uh business relations that uh you know theoretically
00:31:21.380that like uh you know they aren't all being down by like naked force you know uh epstein didn't
00:31:31.240have like dozens of guys all standing next to them with with uh pistols you know threatening
00:31:39.200to shoot them if they if they didn't uh keep up the shroud but like they were all compromised they
00:31:45.840were all they all like consented into this moral order you know the ones who were resistant0.62
00:31:52.200resistant either like said no way and left and like didn't get get anything on them you know a
00:32:00.320few who like pro frank like prominently were killed or allegedly were killed and uh you know
00:32:08.560some of the ones who are resistant or were trying to like like you know uh baby toe their way in
00:32:15.760uh they were like they were like quietly compromised in several ways and they couldn't
00:32:22.240help but be drawn in you know like a prison gang or whatnot you know allegedly uh this is
00:32:28.500why these like organizations tend to go through uh uh lots of like lsd and other things that like
00:32:36.260that like uh you know you get dosed with lsd secretly uh behind your your back and next thing
00:32:43.860you know you wake up next to like like someone a decade under the age of consent and like your
00:32:51.920videos played back to you that you don't remember but now you're you're compromised and they don't
00:32:57.320they don't need someone with a pistol standing next to you that video is is in their archives
00:33:02.980and you're going to do what they say uh yeah well like that's an example of like a very coherent
00:33:09.840moral order that is very effective on the moral level uh as insurgency that like lines up not at
00:33:17.960all with what we think of as morality uh uh the uh the catholic church like uh the alleged or
00:33:26.920now it's like basically confirmed by all the trials but like the uh blackmail and like
00:33:33.880homosexual networks within the catholic church the pederast networks uh they had like some of
00:33:41.540the most intense internal moral coherence of like any networks on earth you know they covered up for
00:33:49.020each other for decades and decades on ends across like dozens of countries yeah uh well there is
00:33:56.040school where there is understanding same with epstein of like we're better off under our own
00:34:02.880code you know we're better like we're all better off if nobody breaks and you know we're not
00:34:09.540answerable to anyone you know we need to handle this in-house kind of deal and yeah that that's
00:34:17.000all true like this is when i say moral i'm not necessarily meaning like the absolute moral law
00:34:22.600of like of god or the natural law that like here has yeah well this is one of the things where like
00:34:28.260michael collins uh he's the one who uh innovated uh the irish code of silence that like held like
00:34:36.800still holds throughout most of ireland that like uh anyone ratting on the ira to the police like
00:34:47.000if it was like even like a neighbor woman or something you know someone uninvolved that
00:34:53.500anyone ratting for any reason automatic death penalty uh and they would like go about and1.00
00:34:59.980enforce it and like this was actually the majority of the killings in like both both
00:35:06.060ireland in northern ireland was like seasoned ira assassins like killing random people who
00:35:15.460informed to the cops and like viciously enforcing this uh no ratting code and because of that uh
00:35:24.940you know this is the most effective insurgency probably in human human history in terms of
00:35:31.840reach and sophistication and like uh you know ira men are still getting like pensions from the
00:35:38.900british government uh in accord with the good friday agreement like uh yeah they were very very
00:35:45.740successful whereas and you just and the thing the reason i'm like really belaboring the point
00:35:53.240is because uh this is like like we're saying moral or morale or morality
00:36:01.340and and this is the opposite of what like many people would naively think of as morality so like
00:36:14.380uh uh the William Butler Yeats in his poem the second coming uh expresses the sentiment of like
00:36:24.860every uh movement conservative in history and every like conservative voter in history uh the
00:36:32.600famous line oh the best lack all conviction will the worst are full of passion and intensity it's
00:36:39.060like and uh they think that like morality is tied up in this like like dithering and lack of
00:36:47.420conviction and like uh this preening over like am i really doing the right thing am i really doing
00:36:54.220the right thing you know doubting uh the morality of their action god is this really right am i
00:37:01.680really called on to do this how do i know i'm not the monster and all all that whereas it's like
00:37:08.920no no no um morality as a factor morale as a factor is about not doing that it's about
00:37:16.600about certain the worst full of passion intensity it's about like what's it's about being and
00:37:22.260enforcing uh certainty and like coherence and like uh in a lot of ways like giving yourself
00:37:33.780over to like the alien logic of the conflict itself and the institutions themselves you know
00:37:41.380Because if you think of these rules as like war gods, like these perverse war gods who are like incentivizing this behavior, it's like, yeah, yeah, they do give absolute power to whoever like gives himself over to like that logic most fully.
00:38:11.380and that's where like uh i really wanted to belabor the point that's like no there is like
00:38:20.640a very intense like abstract ethical system at play and it is tied up it is an ethical system
00:38:29.860and it is like this like social ethics and it is a a moral system of a sort but like uh
00:38:39.760what what is actually being enforced is often like the most twisted evil thing in terms of like
00:38:48.360the absolute morality that people like uh feel in their heart of hearts and whatnot and that like
00:38:55.020it's important to recognize that it's like no the coherence of like the ethical system
00:39:01.680is this thing outside of that uh the british royal navy executed 12 year olds for falling asleep
00:39:10.360and that's why they were the most effective uh uh institution in human history is because if a
00:39:18.88012 year old midship and fell asleep at his watch he could be he the sentence for that was being
00:39:25.480hanged automatically they were making exceptions and because they weren't weren't making exceptions
00:39:33.200no matter how monstrous that made seem to us that made their institution incredibly powerful
00:39:37.980and the yeah i mean in that case like i i would i would just i would just say that most of what's
00:39:48.700like actually necessary in warfare like that people consider unethical is just a it's just
00:39:55.180their own incoherence in how they think about ethics um so like the example of the 12 year
00:40:02.200old midshipman it's like well the question is not whether you can hang a midshipman for
00:40:06.360dereliction of duty the question is you know can 12 year olds be midshipman if they can
00:40:13.420be midshipman then they can be hanged for dereliction of duty so it's like the category
00:40:18.520every midshipman that's the thing in question you know whether or not you can put a 12 year
00:40:24.200old into it it's a cultural consideration same as the age of consent for anything else
00:40:28.420you know can they buy alcohol can they consent to sex can they whatever like well that's always
00:40:33.580been content historical i've always wanted to kneel someone that this is like an example of
00:47:54.840the kernes oh okay no no varg freeborn is an american guy he he's uh he's uh the author of
00:48:04.360violence of mind and beyond uda he was in prison for five years for stabbing a guy a bunch of times0.79
00:48:11.120it was totally justified stabbing it's a crazy story that he actually all all vargs have been
00:48:15.700to prison every single varg there's no varg it hasn't been if you are bar if your name is varg
00:48:22.620and you have not been to prison uh i have some disappointing news about what you're going to be
00:48:28.280doing in your 30s and 40s dude but uh but yeah every vark sorry to all the vargs out there that
00:48:35.300might be listening to this bad news um yeah so he has these two books uh violence of mine and
00:48:42.240beyond uda and they're both about like so so he's he's got this unique perspective because he was
00:48:47.720raised in a criminal family and he's very very familiar with violence a lot of violence growing
00:48:53.320up goes to jail at 19 for stabbing a guy in self-defense but they said oh it's too violent
00:48:58.800it's actually you'd enjoy it because i know you have like a lot of stuff about knife fighting he
00:49:02.940was pointing out one of his points is like a knife is not a good tool for self-defense because your
00:49:08.120average person like prosecutor jury whatever does not understand how many knife step like how many
00:49:15.800times you have to stab somebody to get them to stop and so it's like you know the police are
00:49:21.480never going to come to your house and find you like covered in blood you know standing over a
00:49:25.980guy with 17 stab wounds and be like all right you're free to go like because it's self-defense
00:49:31.640whereas you could shoot a guy several times and like if if all the facts line up and it looks like
00:49:36.500you're in the right you know you might you might be good to go you might not get charged um but
00:49:42.540this is also the case where a lot of americans who insist on like 45 acp versus nine millimeter
00:49:51.220parabellum 45 acp is fewer gunshots at trial for like the same magazine like you mag dump with like
00:50:02.480a seven round uh 1911 it's like oh you shot him seven times if you have like a 19 round uh
00:50:12.000nine millimeter you shot him almost 20 times that's a good point one of the like
00:50:20.860self-defense things that i'm like that's actually like probably matters you way more than like uh
00:50:28.160that people don't discuss yeah it was something i hadn't thought about but but when as soon as
00:50:36.540he said it i was like oh shit that that actually does seem like it would matter a lot so
00:50:41.180anyway he's got a lot of good stuff about violence but his um what i'm saying is you0.97
00:50:47.620should carry a 410 revolver shotgun in a pistol profile yeah the judge the 410 the little 410
00:50:57.440pistol shotgun um yeah so he he's got this book about like basically like how you have to have
00:51:04.440your orientation locked in and like have already decided ahead of time like what you're willing to
00:51:10.900kind of like you had a post like i don't know probably a couple years ago now about you should
00:51:18.580be thinking about violence like you should be thinking about how violence is used against you
00:51:23.540you should be thinking about the violence that lies behind everything that's done to you by the
00:51:28.000state you should be thinking about the violence that's done to you casually throughout the sort
00:51:32.760of things that we're subjected to in everyday life if you live in a major u.s city which thank god i
00:51:37.080you're not but um in in what are you willing to use violence for like both practically morally
00:51:44.920whatever the case may be for you and he's very much in that wavelength like everybody thinks
00:51:50.620like oh i'm gonna do x y and z and it's like yeah probably not you actually haven't thought
00:51:54.900it through you need to actually go through the exercise and if possible do like force on force
00:51:59.420training where you you actually exercise the faculty of deciding to use the violence and
00:52:08.380you have clear boundaries about what you will and won't do because if you don't have those
00:52:13.500clear boundaries already set up then there's some fuzziness and ambiguity at the time of
00:52:18.000when action is required and you know uncertainty is the biggest uncertainty is the death of the
00:52:25.720fighter so when you're fighting the last thing you want is uncertainty and that's why it bothers me
00:52:31.700when people will be like well you know it doesn't matter about the morality and it's like actually
00:52:35.200it does because how however much you may want to posture and be a badass and whatever like you
00:52:42.140don't have any morality anymore i'm a nietzschean or whatever like you're actually a rational animal
00:52:48.180which means you're a moral animal and you have some idea about what you're for and you have some
00:52:55.260idea about what you should and shouldn't do necessarily because you think that some things
00:53:00.520are better than others like you have some capacity for judgment and if you just glibly wave that off0.94
00:53:08.000and don't address it then when the time comes when it's time to actually do shit and the time
00:53:13.860you know god willing will come then you're not gonna you're gonna you're gonna be trying to
00:53:21.480answer that problem way too late like while stuff's already happening you don't want to be
00:53:27.080answering that in the middle of things and that's kind of that's that's sort of the there's a lot
00:53:32.920more to his books but that's i would say the biggest takeaway that i got from them is don't0.95
00:53:39.820be so casual and glib about assuming that you already have your shit worked out you know like
00:53:46.680be very serious about figuring out what you're going to do yes and this is this is one of the0.94
00:53:55.760things where uh a lot of americans especially because um focusing on like the thing with uh
00:54:04.360weapons a lot of americans especially uh do not appreciate the purpose of um a lot of traditional
00:54:13.000like uh melee and other weapons because they're they have such ready access to like profound
00:54:21.500overkill weapons so like uh so like when you have an ar-15 or like you have five like most americans
00:54:30.900do or like you can every day carry a uh a like uh
00:54:38.100you can every day carry like a desert eagle a lot of americans don't don't think of like
00:54:48.880oh what was the point of brass knuckles again what what was the point of like uh
00:54:55.080having like a baseball bat with like uh some barbed wire wrapped around it what was the point
00:55:01.340of what was the point of all these like weapons that the mafia used in spite of the fact that
00:55:08.600the mafia like clearly had access to firearms and like clearly had the money that they could just
00:55:14.120like order the same guns out of soldier of fortune magazine they that everyone else could order in
00:55:20.940like the 70s well the point of it is that like if you like cripple someone and like inflict
00:55:30.560catastrophic brain damage on them but they're alive that's a that's a different charge
00:55:37.640than if you kill them you know and basically uh a body is always the greatest witness
00:55:48.880and like a person is always the worst you know uh the second if like someone like breaks into your0.98
00:55:58.680house or like assaults your daughter or all kinds of things screws your car
00:56:08.180if they if you wound them they have to go on the witness stand and say what they were doing and
00:56:20.080why they were there and speak a coherent sentence about uh what happened if like you're going to be0.93
00:56:28.360charged if you kill them all of a sudden they're they're an angel you know they are the greatest
00:56:35.820they're the greatest witness of all time uh uh this is the you know they're they're pure being0.96
00:56:46.640of forensics and wound ballistics and in dna and they can say nothing that will discredit them
00:56:56.920You know, this is, you know, this is, like, even, even, like, profoundly innocent people, like, profoundly moral and upstanding people have, like, screwed up the case against, like, guilty as sin people, people who, like, should have gone to prison forever, forever.
00:57:22.380but it's like oh that like 17 year old girl who was raped uh broke down crying and like said
00:57:29.380something that could be interpreted one way instead of the other on the witness stand under
00:57:34.300cross-examination and so the jury hanged you know uh you know she said oh i couldn't tell
00:57:42.860if it was that black guy or that black guy are you sure are you sure you could tell it was dark
00:57:47.860goes dark goes dark well i'm not sure i'm jury whereas like0.60
00:57:52.500whereas like to be fair it's hard to identify black people in the dark yeah whereas of course
00:58:00.900like if instead of like suffering a concussion she's suffered a fatal brain embolism she can't0.83
00:58:08.860discredit herself on the on the witness stand you know she's a perfect angel that was cut down by
00:58:15.200this monster you know uh every wound is going to be examined perfectly forensically uh all dna
00:58:23.380evidence is like not he said she said but like 100 uh the assailants uh you know you can
00:58:34.380fingerprint a body you can't fingerprint a live person you know uh you you know wounds wounds
00:58:43.760heal on a living person uh on a body they're like perfect evidence you can do like bite mark
00:58:49.580analysis and stuff like uh well like the difference between like someone who's horribly injured
00:58:58.600injured and someone who dies like uh might be the same force it's the biggest difference in
00:59:07.440the world in terms of like whether the cops will even bother investigating it because they like
00:59:15.200can't deal with it or there's no forensics or like you know you can't perform an autopsy on a living
00:59:20.300person and all a good very good point and and this is why the mafia like had all this like
00:59:33.600emphasis on all this like and all these insanely specific ways of uh inflicting
00:59:42.540lots of damage very reliably and like protecting themselves from like
00:59:48.320their opponent while beating them with like a baseball bat or like a brass knuckles or whatever
00:59:56.220or um you know half the great mafia movies are just about like different intimidation tactics
01:00:03.600yeah mafia head that wouldn't produce a body uh takashi takano's outrage amazing movie
01:00:11.020uh the entire film is basically like uh all these gangsters coming up with new and horrifying ways
01:00:18.040to like maim each other without like actually producing a body until the end at which point
01:00:25.340like one faction wins and they just purge the others but uh but like uh it's an amazing movie
01:00:32.360Takeshi Katano's Outrage Trilogy is like one of my favorites but uh the thing is Americans
01:00:39.020like uh you're all the time from like um American right-wingers and whatnot it's like
01:00:45.540oh yeah but if you do anything uh they'll you know they'll the cops and everything will come
01:00:52.460after you look they'll let these guys do this but if you do anything they'll put you away for life
01:00:57.180and it's like well yeah because what they're doing is is non-lethal and like just imposing
01:01:05.300massive costs most of the time whereas what you're proposing doing to stop and stop them
01:01:11.340produces a body you know uh we tend to yeah the the availability of lethal force i do think has
01:19:26.280garnered attention a your vehicle is also leaking because automatic license plate readers are
01:19:32.180everywhere and the police are just maintaining like records of like where your license plate
01:19:38.240like pings out and i'm also certain that like those are probably also checking like make
01:19:46.620make and model so i think they can probably some percentage of the time pick up uh
01:19:54.240oh that's a honda civic you know from car shape and whatnot so gray honda civic and they can
01:20:02.540probably during the daytime at least uh pretty accurately guess the exact uh paint job so it's
01:20:14.000like well it's a honda civic of like the matte gray variety and you know might even be able to
01:20:21.760generate a year from that and that's like immediately cutting you down from like
01:20:26.160three million people in your metro area to like 800 800 to or not 800 you know a few thousand
01:20:37.000like that's that's a huge cut down but uh the other thing is like if the cops are like
01:20:44.600an intel agency or like you're jealous x or anything if anyone at any point decided i want
01:20:52.320to attach an airtight to that car um you know that's like several months that they had the
01:21:00.440precise gps location of the vehicle like basically at all times you know your your perfect 1980
01:21:08.560toyota hilux you know that itself went through the toyota wars and stuff stuff and like it doesn't
01:21:18.960even have an aux cable you know you ripped out the sound system and whatnot one jealous ex puts
01:21:26.240an air tag on there or uh one like suspicious cop that's leaking gps location as well that doesn't
01:21:36.100mean that like you give up and like oh yeah i'm gonna run my cell phone at all time who cares
01:21:41.980like all this information silos uh i can guarantee you like uh there might be like two or three guys
01:21:50.800who can, in the NSA, who can correlate, like, all the automatic license plate reader, all the
01:21:57.860AirTags, all the OnStar, like, all the information leak, you know, there might be one company that
01:22:05.700can do that. Maybe, maybe Planteer can, like, get five or six of them and is, like, working on
01:22:11.800on the other 20 forms of information leak. You know, they can, they can correlate, they can
01:22:18.460track the uh the sim triangulation of like the onstar but not the uh but not the dodge system
01:22:28.280or not uh the the toyota drive app or whatever but uh but all that's leaking so this is where
01:22:38.540Or, like, what you actually want to do if you're considering, you know, committing crime or resisting the communist regime that takes over when, like, Mecca Stalin comes back.
01:22:58.440or like the the red dawn north koreans take over america without resistance is you want to
01:23:07.520park your car after inserting to like within 50 kiloneers or like some travelable amount of
01:23:15.060distance distance of your target and then insert the rest of the way like by a bicycle skateboard
01:34:35.700in central park i think and i think it didn't help him because he didn't wait long enough and
01:34:42.100you know yeah pretty trivial but like what in general just as a general question let's say
01:34:49.680you know in this hypothetical scenario where you're resisting you know the red dawn north
01:34:54.240koreans um and you do something naughty uh if when you're ex-building do you think it's
01:35:04.680more advantageous to change your clothes sooner like close after the after contact or like
01:35:14.080closer to when you reach your your exfil point
01:35:17.720so um the time when it's going to be most advantageous to change clothing
01:35:24.780which is a good question because like this is actually like
01:35:28.320like uh caution changes are scarce resource you can only do it like a few times especially if like
01:35:35.460like the weather is bad like you're going to carry like more than two like cold weather coats
01:35:43.480or you aren't going to like be able to fit like multiple sets of pants and your equipment in a
01:35:49.620backpack or you aren't going to be able to fit like multiple bait backpacks within your own
01:35:55.040backpack and have room for something something else so like a camera a costume change is like
01:36:01.800a scarce resource that does actually have to be strategically timed and my answer is that you want
01:36:09.560to time it for when um the risk of false positives for the camera net is at its highest so like uh
01:36:21.100let's say you're insertion you're going this like 30 kilometer insertion by a bicycle and foot
01:36:29.740and your actual travel time is only like two and a half hours because you're using a bicycle
01:36:37.880but what you planned because you want to budget like more time you don't want to be like luigi
01:36:43.060where the entire thing takes 20 minutes and so even though you go into central park in a camera
01:36:48.220dead zone and you change out of your clothes into another outfit they pick you up anyway because
01:36:55.940you're the only person who walked out of central park wearing a mask within like 10 minutes of the
01:37:02.900assailant going into central park uh what you want to do is you want to time your your caution
01:37:10.260change for uh dead time and when there's lots of other people who could be false positives
01:37:16.520so like uh so like uh if you were say in so like louis g's timing of the costume change in central
01:37:29.760park would have been perfect and incredible if he had stayed in there like four hours or um if
01:37:36.460you're in like a large crowd like if you're like at rush hour and like uh you you were in a camera
01:37:48.240dead zone and you like ducked into a washroom that would be a good time to change your clothes
01:37:53.780and then just like stay in there an hour and because it's like rush hour in like the vicinity
01:38:01.240of like a mall or down downtown 70 000 people have moved through there there without uh the
01:38:09.900camera net seeing you it generated so many false positives and then you come out at the end of
01:38:17.820the alley hour or two hours in different clothing it doesn't pick up you you're less probable than
01:38:25.700like the 50 false positives it generated you just slip right right by you want to maximize it
01:38:33.340you want to time the caution change generally for like the maximal amount of noise
01:38:41.480and the alternative is like maximal vulnerability or opportunity so like uh
01:38:49.980So, like, you tend to get, like, bonus costume changes in probably towards the start and end of an exfiltration because your outfit doesn't have to last, like, an entire exfiltration then.
01:39:13.780So, like, this is where the tactical flip-flops come in.
01:46:43.440Their ability to identify people uniquely by the length of their strides and footsteps and just hide alone isn't that great.
01:46:53.760But if you live in the same town as the governor and you have to go to that grocery store in town and the town has a population of 800, that camera outside the grocery store is picking up your gate at least well enough to differentiate 800 people.0.90
01:47:10.240So when you break into the governor's mansion, that same camera net that extends inside the governor's mansion because the governor is like smart, he's a smart red Don North Korean, it will recognize the gate from that.0.81
01:47:27.360And I can guarantee you the North Korean NSA is going to like correlate those two data sets.0.97
02:29:43.180Find out how we did it, next on Masterminds.
02:30:08.180It's up on YouTube. And every episode they'd follow some criminal who who use like unique techniques that they'd never seen before and like never really saw again, but like got away with millions of dollars by doing it.
