Has anyone kept a tally of how many/which kinds of surveillance methods are being deployed in Portland right now?
Here’s a P-3 Orion from Guantanamo Bay, that CBP thought so kindly to bring up for us. It’s carrying a truly dystopian payload of electronic warfare equipment. https://twitter.com/tobin_tweets/status/1287607264593862657

That CBP plane joins this US Air Force DO-328 Cougar, that made some passes last week https://theintercept.com/2020/07/23/air-force-surveillance-plane-portland-protests/
And we can’t forget the first one folks called out! The US Marshals single engine surveillance plane that has circled almost all day, every day since around June 14. https://www.opb.org/news/article/portland-oregon-protests-us-marshals-surveillance-plane/
People all over Portland have also mentioned there is a white helicopter with black equipment mounted to its underside hovering and doing high laps over the city. In addition to numerous reports of drones over neighborhoods, which PPB denies ofc https://www.kgw.com/article/news/investigations/who-is-flying-circles-over-portland-protests/283-1aab235b-092f-4430-ab17-632e8fb7c8a7
Given the civilian no-fly zone over Portland, that narrows down who could be flying these aircraft.
People in Portland have reported things like their phones acting weird, smoke detectors/home security bugging out, and camera flashes from the sky. We know phones are being tracked https://www.oregonlive.com/nation/2020/06/law-enforcement-is-using-aircraft-to-collect-cell-phone-other-data-on-protesters-chilling-1st-amendment-rights-dem-lawmakers.html?outputType=amp
Cyber security is absolutely crucial, folks. Turn off location services, use encrypted messaging like Signal, and NEVER post uncensored footage on social media. @theintercept has some good tips here https://theintercept.com/2016/07/02/security-tips-every-signal-user-should-know/
I’ll add more to this thread as the fascist police state continues to escalate their response to protests against racist violence.
