Protest
Location: I have been observing KOBE for more than a year. This document is intended to assist those interested in protesting against KOBE. It is important to read this document and follow this advice. Failure to do so may result in manipulation and entrapment. KOBE's goal is to use any means (no matter how unethical) to entrap activists. KOBE is much less a political organization than it is the geek's version of a brownshirt brigade. Intellectual debate, appeals to ethics, and appeals to reason are futile when engaging KOBE. KOBE divides the world into two class: those who support Bush and the enemy. You, by definition, are the enemy. Many KOBE members are ex-military, law enforcement, and/or infantile videogame addicts. They see the world one dimensionally. The can neither think nor comprehend outside of their limited view of the world. They are a classic manifestation of fascist fanaticism. Gandhi never successfully confronted the likes of KOBE. Appeals to what is good in humanity is wasted on fascist trash such as KOBE. Do not assume that KOBE members are rational or sane. They are neither. I estimate that up to 50% of the individuals claiming to be anti-KOBE are infiltrators from KOBE. I have my suspicions about who is who and which is which but I cannot definitively declare that I am certain in all cases. Additionally, it is to the advantage of the Resistance to not allow KOBE to know which of its infiltrators have been identified and which have not been identified. Combating KOBE crimes requires embracing many of the techniques used by intelligence agencies. We intentionally permit some KOBE members to conduct their secret roles because we may be able to exploit their naiveté in the future. Organizing against KOBE can only succeed if the principles of a decentralized and "disorganized" resistance are practiced. From a practical point of view, what this means, is that you as an individual or a group must organize your resistance to KOBE independently. For example, if you are an anarchist, gather together other known anarchists that you trust, plan your events for May 24, and do not share your plans with others that you do not fully trust. Since nearly everyone fighting on both sides of the KOBE war has maintained anonymity, with the primary exception of myself (an artifact of the reality that I am one of their primary targets and the desire of those fighting against KOBE to not become known targets), you should not trust any anonymous individual that contacts you by Internet for the sharing or construction of plans of protest against KOBE. This includes ANYONE connected with the struggle against KOBE. I cannot stress this with any greater force. Do not even trust those that seem strongly anti-KOBE unless you know their real name and can confirm that they are who they say they are and you can confirm that they are know a member of KOBE. The next thing to remember is that KOBE will do everything it can to present itself as a patriotic victim harassed by terrorist sympathizers. It will use this ruse to court the assistance of law enforcement. KOBE will, in all likelihood, attempt to provoke trouble in the hope that protesters will be arrested. This may include infiltration of the ranks of the protesters. It is for this reason that I recommend strongly that you organize independently, stay with those that you know, and follow through with your own plans, not permitting others on the scene to sway your mission. Since KOBE will attempt to portray itself as a victim, I urge you to avoid any illegal activities in protesting against KOBE. The point of the May 24 protest is to inform the public in and around Harbor City, California that Computers N.L.A. actively supports an online hate and terror group targeting Arabs, Muslims, and dissidents. That is the whole mission. This mission can be achieved by holding up signs, passing out leaflets, and chanting anti-KOBE slogans. There is no need to enter upon the physical property of Computers N.L.A. It is not necessary to stand directly in front of Computers N.L.A. or along the side of Computers N.L.A., though such actions would be welcome. What is needed is that anyone passing by Computers N.L.A. receives information about the fascist nature of Computers N.L.A. It is my hope that anarchist, socialist, anti-racist, anti-fascist, pro-Muslim, pro-Palestinian, green, and other such organizations will self organize and conduct their own independent peaceful actions around the neighborhood of Computers N.L.A. on May 24. This protest is unique in many ways. KOBE has received attention internationally because it focuses on the Internet as its battleground. KOBE is a global problem. On the other hand, the only people that can stop KOBE are in the Los Angeles area. The reason for this is that KOBE cannot be stopped through Internet activities. It can only be stopped through activities aimed at its direct sponsors. Those direct sponsors have a physical presence in the LA area. The primary force against KOBE has been my anti-fascist websites. I do not live in Los Angeles. In fact, I live thousands of miles away from Los Angeles. I've needed to move twice due to KOBE harassment. Since I am a primary target of KOBE and I live a long distance away, I cannot come to the protest on May 24, though I continue our struggle online. Even if I could come to the event, chances are I would be arrested. KOBE has been publishing threats under my name against itself. These forgeries would be used to claim that my presence was part of some operation against KOBE of illegal intent. Those that protest at Computers N.L.A. should seek to bring as many friends within them as possible. If you have a digital camera or a digital video recorder, please bring it. This will discourage KOBE members from provocations, document any provocations on their part, and provide useful intelligence information for use in combating KOBE. A successful anti-fascist action against KOBE will have repercussions beyond KOBE and beyond Los Angeles. It will be a signal to self appointed brownshirts that a resistance to fascism does exist and is effective. It will also provide an opportunity to create and evolve methodologies for resisting brownshirts. I hope that those attending the demonstration will keep an eye open for lessons learned and then write about those lessons for the benefit of all in the resistance.
