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
