What Is Security Culture?

In February 2018, I discussed some of the resources used by Anarchists, Activists, and Saboteurs.  

Another source, recommended by a reader, is the Puget Sound Anarchists web-site.

Of particular interest is their guide What Is Security Culture? The guide is available as a PDF file, and is read on YouTube.

While I do not support anarchists' actions, some of their ideas on maintaining a security culture are applicable to other communities and other ways of living; and some of their ideas are reflected in the platform of the Libertarian Party | Minimum Government. Maximum Freedom.

Good security culture is one of the first and most important things a serious activist should learn. The idea is to minimize the effects of infiltration, disruption, and surveillance through practices that help keep activists, groups, and networks safer. Importantly, it helps political activists prevent paranoia and dispels the unfortunate idea that they should just give up any effort to maintain confidentiality against State and corporate surveillance.

Although previously mentioned, a reader also recommended RATS, by Claire Wolfe.

I note that Claire has a new book scheduled to be released on Amazon Kindle on April 19, 2018: Basics of Resistance: The Practical Freedomista, Book I.  The Kindle book is only 99 cents if pre-ordered between now and April 19th.  After that the cost will be $3.50-ish.
