An autonomous RUST team found this post about J17. Apparently its ran by ancaps (voluntarists specifically) which makes sense why they have white supremacist propaganda pieces on their posters for the event. Either way, it's an obvious co-opt. Be cautious of it.

We have reason to believe there will be an armed Boogaloo March on January 17th. We have reason to believe this is a fascist co-opt trying to take advantage of people for another insurgency. This group has several militant looking videos and are Anarcho Capitalist in ideology. Repeat, this is a boogaloo co-opt.

• DO NOT share your phone number on Telegram (Settings / Privacy and Security / Phone Number > Nobody). This is the single most important step you can take to secure your Telegram account.

• DO NOT use your real name, photograph or a user-name used on other platforms. Bad-actors will use this information to help dox you. Telegram allows you to change both.

• DO enable PIN lock for all messaging applications (Settings / Privacy and Security / Passcode Lock > Enable). If your phone is taken by the police, this can help protect your messages.

• DO enable two-factor-authentication for all messaging applications (Settings / Privacy and Security / Two-Step Verification > Enable). This will require a second code or password to login to your account. Alt-right groups have hacked activist-owned accounts before.
As we move into a period of increased fash and LEO activity ahead of and possibly following the inauguration, the RUST admins want to encourage our communities to keep each other safe and updated. RUST is not an organizing entity, but we want to make sure people have whatever resources and info we can provide to keep themselves and their networks safe in the days to come.

Please use the local RUST broadcast channels to stay up to date on info we receive and share and the public relay chats to help coordinate support responses if needed. Remember to message @RUSTcontactbot with verifiable intel that should be shared! This can range from road closure/block locations to positive IDs of known bad actors in specific neighborhoods or communities.

We Protect Us. Stay safe.
Updated information on closures and travel restrictions in DC can be found here: https://inauguration.dc.gov/closures
The Secret Service has issued this list of prohibited items. Please exercise caution when you are out and about in the city this upcoming week. Please travel in groups and be vigilant.
Please bear in mind that much of the Capitol area is federal property, meaning federal charges could apply to anything deemed a crime in those spaces. This is especially true in light of the federal statues and monument act from earlier this summer that makes it a federal crime with up to 10 years imprisonment for defacing a statue or monument.

Exercise caution accordingly.
Good morning! Please share this channel with your networks and encourage your friends to follow our updates. We will be monitoring the situations in several cities today.

Many cities have increased police presence and some cities are expecting fash rallies. If you see something message @RUSTContactBot with verifiable information on traffic closures or hot spots to avoid.
DC scanners and social media seem quiet thus far. Continue to stay safe and keep eyes out! Tips can be shared anonymously via @RUSTcontactbot
