Operation PATCON, also known as Patriot Conspiracy, was a covert FBI operation that took place in the 1990s. The operation involved undercover agents and informants posing as right-wing extremists, primarily targeting three Patriot groups: Civilian Materiel Assistance, the Texas Light Infantry, and the American Pistol and Rifle Club. The goal of PATCON was to infiltrate and disrupt these groups, which were suspected of engaging in domestic terrorism and anti-government activities.

The operation was marked by controversy, with critics arguing that the FBI was entrapment and had violated the constitutional rights of the targeted groups. In 2004, an FBI informant, John Matthews, revealed details of the operation, alleging that the FBI had encouraged the formation of violent splinter groups within the Patriot movement to create the illusion of a widespread domestic terrorist threat.

The legacy of PATCON has been the subject of debate, with some arguing that it was a necessary measure to prevent domestic terrorism, while others view it as an example of government overreach and entrapment. The operation has been compared to COINTELPRO, a similar FBI program from the 1950s to 1970s that targeted civil rights and anti-war groups.

i'm with you in having mostly anarcho views on the government & benefit of voting, but this is obviously a unique, once in a lifetime political opportunity.

Location tagging in nostr:npub16elg3wf8nffkymylw9kfwecc45j9c30lufrrzx2zf5vmxjlcgkkq3xc6d7 is cool somehow. It obviously compromises the idea of partial anonymity/privacy and may not work reliably for many people using a VPN. But it's still interesting.

It should perhaps only be used in situations where the location plays a role, like in this example note here.

And appropriately, it is also provided only as an option. 👍

I wouldn't dox my hometown, but I would definitely drop a pin when on Holiday, to see if there are any frens around.
