Leaked Dox Reveal Counterterror Tactics Used at Standing Rock #NoDAPL



Energy Transfer Partners (#DAPL) hired a military intelligence/mercenary
outfit (TigerSwan) which wrote a report for them comparing
Anti-Pipeline-activist operation to Afghanistan battlefield intel ops,
activist actions as an "Insurgency", and the activists... "Jihadists".

> Internal TigerSwan communications describe the movement as â??an
> ideologically driven insurgency with a strong religious componentâ?? and
> compare the anti-pipeline water protectors to jihadist fighters. One
> report, dated February 27, 2017, states that since the movement
> â??generally followed the jihadist insurgency model while active, we can
> expect the individuals who fought for and supported it to follow a
> post-insurgency model after its collapse.â?? Drawing comparisons with
> post-Soviet Afghanistan, the report warns, â??While we can expect to see
> the continued spread of the anti-DAPL diaspora â?¦ aggressive
> intelligence preparation of the battlefield and active coordination
> between intelligence and security elements are now a proven method of
> defeating pipeline insurgencies.â??
>
> More than 100 internal documents leaked to The Intercept by a
> TigerSwan contractor, as well as a set of over 1,000 documents
> obtained via public records requests, reveal that TigerSwan
> spearheaded a multifaceted private security operation characterized by
> sweeping and invasive surveillance of protesters.
