Scott: Nice video! me: thanks, lol me: twist ending Scott: Indeed. Scott: I bet she had an earful. me: hopefully a fair portion of the Moscow public did as well me: they need only google the terms I managed to get in to find all the info Scott: Is it possible to find out if there has been feedback to it? me: at any rate, it's all in the book they just promoted me: there have been a few comments at the YouTube page me: and I'll try to work an article out of it this weekend me: have also sent it to Kathryn Jean Lopez, online editor of National Review me: who is my Facebook friend, lol me: I am also writing them an open letter Scott: Expect a response? me: to mock them for ignoring my VF article on them me: eventually, yes, I will force one me: they know of the article me: I sent it to Lopez me: they are simply ignoring it me: now, the best possible outcome me: would be for them to mock me for having "ranted about some conspiracy theory" before being quite understandably cut off due to my craziness me: as they may not recall that David Satter had a piece in National Review six years ago Scott: That would be interesting. me: also explaining the Russian apartment bombings Scott: It sounds like you have your strategy all laid out. me: and pinning them on Putin me: yep me: I will dispatch them like so many gemstone IV players laying in the town square Scott: I like the smirk when you got cut off. Scott: Basically you're going to pick the box. me: yeah, that certainly helped to clarify what was going on me: yes me: and hopefully be thrown into the briar patch as well me: if necessary me: I will address Lopez with some insulting term me: that she will miscalculate as making me look bad if she publishes it on their blog me: but which will be offset, to the extent that it makes me look bad, by the article itself me: I only need a net plus me: not even accounting for the net minus to national review Scott: Interesting choice of bait. me: I tried "sweetheart" already me: didn't seem to take me: I am currently in discussions with some friends as to what term would be best me: "Papist bitch" me: is one option Scott: is that in the lead/ Scott: ? me: anyway, I will write the open letter first me: nothing's in the lead yet, still adding candidates me: run it on T/S and HuffPo Scott: got it Scott: must be a very interesting discussion me: feel free to join in me: also, have recruited some internet black ops types me: hackers, etc. me: to serve as dynamic assets later on me: have one guy who's an old friend and works in the music biz me: having him assemble a team Scott: to what link Justin Beiber or whatever his name is to porn? me: nah, to manipulate our enemies me: into doing a portion of our work for us me: basically, they will serve as a mini think-tank Scott: sounds interesting me: but only the top guy will know exactly whom they're working for Scott: You're mind is going to fast for me. Scott: Is this for programming? me: in part me: a lot of it is sort of cutting edge me: part software related, part social engineering me: I'll explain further later Scott: sounds mysterious me: we live in mysterious times Scott: and are you the puppet master or your friend is? me: my friend is informed on everything Scott: ok me: the rest will only know what they're doing, not why or for whom me: all perfectly legal me: just secret in order to protect our trade secrets me: many of which I still have to invent Scott: sorry was on the phone Scott: I think that's a fine approach. me: one example me: is testing our own security Scott: I'm about to head out in a couple min, but I've thought about some hypothetical features and ideas with a potential website.utes me: cool, let's discuss when you're free Scott: Is that like having our own people try to hack our own system? me: yes me: also, at some point, we'll need to spy on ourselves in a similar fashion Scott: I think that's a great idea. Scott: I've always thought that companies don't do a great job testing their own system. me: they don't, trust me me: I have a lot of hacker friends me: you'd be amazed at what they can do Scott: I'm not quite sure I want to know, I've got some weird shit on my computer. me: suffice to say that we'll be switching to a secure e-mail provider such as hushmail.com rather soon me: for all PM business me: Hastings and I aren't making a lot of friends in the military and intelligence communities me: conversely, we have friends in both Scott: sounds exciting :) me: where you off to tonight? Scott: friday night is generally wife/girlfriend night but one of my buddies who is going through a tough time wants to go out Scott: so i'm going with him to some bar near gramercy park me: word, I'm going to play Morrowind me: in which I am making preparations for an eventual purge of all non-elven scum from Solsteheim me: by way of House Telvanni, which will soon be under my control me: and my ongoing contacts with other factions Scott: haha Scott: I feel for the non-elvens
