As more information comes to light about The Base, it comes clear that there were some security issues. At least one member of an antifa group based in Eugene, Oregon had gotten access to their encrypted chatroom on Wire and leaked screenshots to the media and law enforcement. One of their conversations discussed a "training camp" for new recruits in the neighboring Washington state area. Media influence put pressure on local sheriff Brad Manke to contact the FBI and SPLC for help. Manke later confirmed to a "SPLC researcher" that 30 acres of land was purchased by a Delaware LLC called "Base Global" – minimal investigation revealed tax affidavits associated with the property purchase lead to a man named Rinaldo Nazzaro, who is now the primary suspect of running The Base.
What can we learn from this?The biggest issue we can see from this investigation is that Nazzaro mixed his identities. Nazzaro purchased the property under a name so similar to The Base while having his own personal identity tied to it. If he had used a different company's name that was suitable to the environment, like
Bob's Lumber, such a connection would've been harder to make. Having the property in his own name would have been less suspicious than BASE GLOBAL, especially when they were actively recruiting. Even if there was never an antifa rat in their chat, sooner or later this fatal move would have come back to haunt Nazzaro.
The second problem was the antifa mole. Properly vetting members (meeting in-person and doing certain activities only dedicated people would do to gain trust in one another) before granting access to any sort of chatroom is one way of doing this. And of course, the less you say, the less evidence will be used against you. Crazy lifehack: not discussing potential crimes is a good way to avoid being jailed for life as a political prisoner. Not having a group that discusses, encourages, and plans domestic terrorism is another awesome trick.
On the plus side, they did use an encrypted messaging service. Logs weren't leaked from their servers from rogue employees (Discord comes to mind). Encryption is utilized for a reason.
Moving forward:1) If you're going to buy property to train combatants against a powerful System with near-infinite resouces that seeks to destroy you and your race, don't make sloppy mistakes like
listing your explicitly violent organization as the owner of the property while having its corresponding tax affidavits in your real name.
2) You can't have your organization infiltrated if you don't have an organization to begin with - acting solo or in small cells of trusted people is far harder to infiltrate. This isn't to say you shouldn't network or even join a pro-White organization, but avoid groups that fed/siegepost like the plague.
3) Encryption works, and every goy who wants to ensure their communications are safe from spooks should contact
