| Article on Information of FBI surviellence from site http://www.chymerick.com/orgs/spyvsspy/home.html (which is temperarily down) At best, the FBI does not have a history of respect for civil rights. Whether you are guilty or innocent dosn't matter. You are always treated the same way during an FBI investigation- unfairly. Especially if surveillance is involved. If you snooze, you lose. It's that simple. Many of us are sleepwalking through life. And if you don't pay attention, then you're gonna pay- especially if you engage in behavior that attracts the attention of the FBI. Make no mistake about it, FBI surveillance teams are lethal. They are very affective at what they do. They have had lots of experience. They've got massive resources. In a major investigation, 30 agents watching one person is common place. You never see the same agent twice. You never see the same vehicle twice. The FBI's triple-threat surveillance stategy of multi-layered teams, rapid response, and managed aggression must be taken seriously. Threat #1- A multi-layered team can fool you into thinking that the surveillance has ended. This is an extremely dangerous situation. They're still lurking nearby ofcourse, waiting for you to do or say something incriminating. Threat #2- A same-day response team by the FBI means that surveillance might begin before you're ready for it. They'll catch you unprepared. The FBI surveillance team may end up watching you trying to hide the very material that your hoping to conceal from them. Threat #3- The FBI's policy of managed aggression can easily provoke you into losing your temper, or your nerve, or both. It is a wicked strategy. That's why they use it. Its easy to see why most people are easy prey for the FBI's surviellence machine. But it dosn't have to be that way. Beating the FBI. There are people who routinely thwart the FBI. They know how to recognize the telltale signature of an FBI surveillance team. When they find themselves under surveillance, they use tactics that inhibit the FBI's ability to find out what they're really doing. They mislead the FBI. These individuals make it difficult for the FBI to build a legitimate case against them. Perhaps even more important, they make it difficult for the FBI to build a phony case against them. An individual like this is called a hard target. That's spy-talk for a surveillance target who knows what he's doing. The methods and techniques that these individuals use are called countersurveillance. This article reveals some of the methods and techniques. Simply put, the article you are reading is about countersurveillance methods that will beat the FBI. What you'll learn in this article. The article is comprised of two parts. The first section deals with FBI general strategy. You'll learn about the structure and underlying principles of FBI surveillance. They've been at this game for many years and they've learned many lessons. The second section of this article deals with specific tactics of FBI surveillance teams. A case study is utilized to explain and illustrate FBI behavior. It is based on direct experience and on information from confidential sources. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What you need to know about the FBI... They are masters of the game. If you have something to hide, FBI surveillance could be the beginning of the end for you. Do not make the mistake of underestimating the capabilities of an FBI surveillance team. They are persistent. They are methodical. They are thorough. And they are fanatical about their work. Drawing from decades of experience, FBI surveillance strategy has evolved into an advanced system that exploits the classic military principles of space, time, and force. This strategic foundation is present in every major surveillance operatoin run by the FBI. This foundation relies on three pillars of rapid response, multi-layered teams, and managed aggression. While each of these is a serious threat to the target of a surveillance operation, the most deadly of the three is the multi-layered team. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Multi-layered teams... {NOTE- There is more to multi-layered teams than we cover in this article. The FBI often uses surveillance as an end in itself. As a method for suppressing dissent, criticism, and activism, nothing is more effective than letting the target know he's under surveillance. Fear is a powerful tool.

Because of the manner in which FBI agents are deployed, it is almost impossible to catch the FBI unawares during a surveillance operation. They always have a fall-back position. This is calledthe strategy of surveillance-in-depth. Here's how it works. For most surveillance operations, the FBI actually puts out two teams in the field. That's right. Two teams. The first team is expendable. That means if it is blown (that's spy-talk for detected), the surveillance operation will still survive and reach its objective. This first team is called the Decoy and Diversion Team. In this article we will refer to is simply as the Decoy Team. In surveillance operations involving hard targets, the Decoy Team expects to get caught. In surveillance operations involving soft targets, they expect to remain undetected 75% of all cases. (A soft target is a person who has no countersurveillance skills or training, and is not on the lookout for surveillance.) Any target who is alert- and on the lookout for surveillance- will eventually detect a pavement artist of the Decoy Team. Pavement artist is spy-talk for a member of a surveillance team that is watching you in public places. They are on foot and they are in vehicles. At the same time that the Decoy Team enters the situation and begins surveillance on you, a second team also enters the game. This second team quietly slips into the environment, where it does its best to blend in with the background. This second team is called the Stealth Team. At the beginning of the operation, the Stealth Team makes no effort to watch you. Its only objective is to establish its presence- and to remain undetected. This deployment strategy is incredibly effective. Here's why. The first team provides cover for the second team's arrival. Even a hard target is likely to be too busy watching the first team to notice the arrival of the second team. And when both teams are in place, you usually only notice the fisrt team. The top priority of the first team (the Decoy Team) is to see everything you do. They want to learn your habits and your daily routine. They don't want to be detected, of course, but they are prepared to pay that price if that is what's required in order to make sure they see absolutely everything you are doing. They're first priority is to acquire as much data about you as possible. next page |
