me: sup brah
me: any new Johnson stuff in the works on your end?
Patrick: Probably not, bored with him
me: not me
me: has Goldstein fucked with you lately?
me: Anywho, the reason I wanted to get in touch is this
Patrick: Usual occasional passive aggressive bullshit in comments and sly subtle digs in posts
me: figures
Patrick: I just ignore him
me: You may or may not be aware of the ongoing efforts to hassle several despotic governments
me: being undertaken by factions of the Anonymous movement as well as other parties
me: we've had considerable success with Tunisia
me: and have now expanded efforts to two others
me: Algeria
me: and Venezuela
me: the latter might interest a lot of people in the conservative end of the blogosphere
me: we've actually recruited some folks of that background already
me: I'll send along an update when things begin
me: just in case you might be willing to consider getting involved
me: if you need some evidence that these efforts work, let me know
me: I don't know to what extent you follow latest developments in proxy insurrection, "cyberwar," and the like
Patrick: Don't know enough about it
me: okay
me: well, if you'd like to learn more, I see you're following me on twitter; take a look at some of my links from past couple of days if you have a moment
me: suffice to say we have some significant resources now
me: including ex-intel people
me: we're capable of taking down gov't websites or replacing them with messages to the subject population
me: anyway, I'll leave you alone, hope to hear from you
Patrick: k
