6:13 PM samantha.sterling: no problem. i know world domination takes a lot of time. hope the radio interview went well and you made some new enemies.
6:14 PM me: probably Army Intelligence and the State Department this time
samantha.sterling: haha
me: accidentally advocated treason in stronger terms than usual
6:15 PM luckily half the people who listen to this particular program advocate treason so no one will narc on me
samantha.sterling: what specific kind of treason did you advocate?
6:16 PM me: well, yesterday I published portions of a stolen Army Intel report
from 2008
but twas all in good fun
today I talked about how certain unspecified allies of mine need to prepare for an uptick in info-warfare with, for instance, Army Intel
6:17 PM which is apparently not very cutting edge
based on what's in the report
samantha.sterling: what radio station were you on?
me: a bunch of them
it's a syndicated program ran by Antiwar.com
6:18 PM goes to a bunch of actual radio stations plus various internet radio outlets
and whatever else
samantha.sterling: good publicity
me: there was a bunch of excitement yesterday
6:19 PM as the admins of wikileaks were being pursued and detained by State Department ops in Norway and Iceland
samantha.sterling: wow
me: and they were understandably unhappy about it and sending out cryptic messages
and of course no major outlets were covering it even though they're happy to run with the stuff Wikileaks brings out
samantha.sterling: naturally
what were the cryptic messages like?
6:20 PM me: WikiLeaks to reveal Pentagon murder-coverup at US National Press Club, Apr 5, 9am; contact press-club@sunshinepress.org
WikiLeaks is currently under an aggressive US and Icelandic surveillance operation. Following/photographing/filming/detaining
If anything happens to us, you know why: it is our Apr 5 film. And you know who is responsible.
Two under State Dep diplomatic cover followed our editor from Iceland to http://skup.no on Thursday.
One related person was detained for 22 hours. Computer’s seized.That’s http://www.skup.no
We know our possession of the decrypted airstrike video is now being discussed at the highest levels of US command.
We have been shown secret photos of our production meetings and been asked specific questions during detention related to the airstrike.
We have airline records of the State Dep/CIA tails. Don’t think you can get away with it. You cannot. This is WikiLeaks.
samantha.sterling: jesus
at least they don't do waterboarding in iceland, do they?
6:21 PM me: well, they do that in the rendition bases in Eastern Europe
first they take them there covertly by way of CIA-affiliated aircraft
samantha.sterling: incredbile
me: company called Vision Air
Capital Aviation
6:22 PM McNeil Technologies
front groups of that sory
sort
none of that is mainstream info yet
samantha.sterling: i shall tell no one
6:23 PM me: well, it doesn't matter
it's not mainstream because editors are douchebags
it's about to come out due to a lawsuit from employees who got gyped [sic?] out of hazard pay
6:24 PM judge allowed details to be sealed for now and possibly forever as they don't pertain to the actual matter of hazard pay but rather to national security
6:25 PM but it's impossible to keep these things hidden anymore, someone who presumably worked for one of those companies made that info available recently
samantha.sterling: all this information should be available
me: oh sweet
6:26 PM my publisher actually responded to an e-mail asking him for money
samantha.sterling: nice!
me: fuck this CIA shit, I just stopped caring ten seconds ago
samantha.sterling: hahaha
6:27 PM me: seriously, my only problem with clandestine operations is that I'm not involved
samantha.sterling: you need to find a way in
me: also the other stuff
yeah
6:28 PM I'm hoping to impress the powers-that-be with my own secret esoteric thingamajig
I designed a logo and everything
I mean, you know?
a logo
samantha.sterling: yes i am aware of logos
me: are you?
samantha.sterling: and their powers of persuasion!
me: !
samantha.sterling: i think i should have a logo
something unpronounceable
like prince
me: you should
6:29 PM it's awesome
sometimes I just stare at mine
samantha.sterling: show me
me: one sec
samantha.sterling: k
6:30 PM ah yes, i recognize it from one of your articles. very nice
6:31 PM me: SO PRETTY
samantha.sterling: and what is it, exactly?
6:32 PM me: the red rose is taken from the herald of House Lancaster
which ruled England before the War of the Roses and from which I am directly descended (middle name is Lancaster)
6:33 PM the arrows present a schematic regarding the inevitability of information/revolution when either entity is brought forth in a manner that self-perpetuates
samantha.sterling: i see. interesting
me: yeah, I went nuts at some point, can't even remember
6:34 PM samantha.sterling: or maybe you went sane?
me: think it was Wikipedia
OR MAYBE!
samantha.sterling: i love wikipedia
it's my sixth best friend right now
i need it like heroin
heroin
yeah i said it
me: are the other five also internet-based entities
6:35 PM what a coincidence
samantha.sterling: and if they are?
me: just curious
samantha.sterling: actually, one is a cat
the other are my imaginary friends
me: but ones you know in real life
not imaginary internet friends?
6:36 PM samantha.sterling: of course they're real life imaginary friends! what kind of wacko do you think i am?!
me: one who gets out, at least
samantha.sterling: not only do i get out, i get around
6:37 PM me: perhaps you should find some new place wherein the kids are hip
relative to the hipness displayed
I'll stop
samantha.sterling: hahaha. i was doing more of a whore joke, but the beach boys joke is funny too
6:38 PM me: I used to spend a lot of time rephrasing lyrics to make them unnecessarily cumbersome
usually rap lyrics
I used to run with a bad crowd, you see
samantha.sterling: no i don't see. how bad a crowd?
and where was this? dallas?
me: just joking, the kids I did that with were the only non-bad crowd I ever ran with
6:39 PM except for my hacker buddies
who are necessarily nerds
samantha.sterling: bad is totally relative
me: yes
samantha.sterling: i don't know anyone in prison
not personally, anyway
6:40 PM me: I know a couple, but don't associate with them anymore anyway
I'm reasonably respectable now
samantha.sterling: reasonably and respectable are also totally relative
me: and it's a good thing, too
6:41 PM samantha.sterling: absolutley
me: there are several airlines called Vision Air
I hope this isn't the one
http://www.visionair.com/
6:42 PM it might very well be due to its specialty
but its disappointing when some evil covert thing is all goofy
as this is
6:43 PM samantha.sterling: can't get away from this stuff, eh?
me: sorry, was just fed this yesterday while I was busy with the other crazy CIA stuff
samantha.sterling: it's totally fine, i find it humorous, actually
6:44 PM me: ah, it's based in Nevada
and it's not that goofy-ass website company
samantha.sterling: how do you have time to date, with the stuff you do?
me: lol
samantha.sterling: or are you usually not this busy?
me: look at this
only country it flies to outside of U.S. is Cuba
6:45 PM I mean, overtly
other than Kabul, Baghdad, and secret air fields in Romania
6:46 PM samantha.sterling: i'm surprised they don't fly to north korea
me: that's what we call An Obvious Indicator That Something Is Up
samantha.sterling: or iran for that matter
me: they might
U.S. has people in Iran
6:47 PM mostly not "their" people
but people they're funding
samantha.sterling: in that sense, the us has people everywhere
6:48 PM me: more people than usual
ah, one sec
samantha.sterling: k
6:51 PM i'm getting pretty hungry, so i'm gonna go have dinner...i'll be back in a bit
