thatwithout Aaron the Feds would have never been able to get out of theirown

No, Owen isn't in NYC. That's one of the many things that Aaron got

wrong,

including my supposed other handles. I've heard from one fellow who

plans

to
sue.

The feds took quite a bit of equipment from Owen but not all of it.

Pretty

sure they took a server but want to confirm before I say yes or no.

Basically, we got hbgary's e-mails along with hbgary federal's. Prez,
penny, called me to make the distinction. I told her to come into irc

to

talk. She and greg whatshisname, who is a douche, were in for a

couple

hours. I don't think a consensus has been reached on our end as

regards

what

to do, but anyway I don't think the e-mails have yet been downloaded

by

anyone because file isn't being sufficiently seeded via torrent, so

there

may still be time to come to a decision. I like penny but some others

don't

trust her on this matter when she claims to be angry with aaron, etc.
Meanwhile greg has made some threatening statements to the press so,

yeah,

that wasn't particularly brilliant of him.

Michael-

You may have seen yesterday's Financial Times piece which claimed

that

the operational heads of Anonymous had been identified by a

certain

Aaron

Barr of the internet secuity firm HBGary Federal. Barr claimed

that Q

is

co-founder of Anonymous, which is demonstrably false (Q set up

the

#anonymous channel at anonops.ru, which is simply an IRC

channel)

and

that he is seeking replacements for OWen. OWen merely runs and

owns

that

particular server, which as I told you is one of several de facto
operational centers. Everyone involved laughed their assess off

yesterday

and several of us wrote a silly press release which was

thereafter

posted at

Daily Kos and AnonNews. Barr, for his part, is reportedly set to

meet

with

the FBI tomorrow in order to provide them with info gleaned from

our

entirely non-secret IRC channels, and meanwhile his allegedly

successful

intel operation will no doubt help his firm acquire further

business.


The only problem is that Anonymous has just taken over the

website of

HBGary Federal founder Greg Hoglund and deleted all bakcups.

Suffice

to

say

that HBGary has attempted to interfere with a movement that has

made

substantial contributions to the liberty and well-being of North

Africans

and others and will be further dealt with over the coming hours.

Yeah, will do. Also, off the record, although Anonymous as a

movement

will
no doubt continue to some small extent with Yemen, the 11th is

the

anniversary of Iran's revolution and I'm in discussions with

both

Iranian
exiles and some of the more competent Anons about supplying

certain

tools to
Green folks ahead of that, and perhaps getting involved further.

Our

concern
is that Anonymous is not yet equipped to handle such a situation

as

Iran,
which obviously involves a lot of nuance and interference from

all

the

great
powers and then some. Eritrea, meanwhile, is a police state with

large

expat presence in the city in which I'm currently living and

I've

managed to
get in touch with the exile opposition, which is enthusiastic

about

any

attempt. That, too, would be a secret op run out of Project PM

until

such
time as our cover is blown, at which point Anonymous will be

thrown

at

them.
I expect those operations to begin in two weeks.

Michael-

Good to meet you. Here's the info I have. Let me

know if

forgot

anything.


"Heidi Boghosian" <director@nlg.org>, (NAtional

Lawyers

Guild

director

with
whom I'm working to choose lawyers)

Stanley Cohen stanleycohen@earthlink.net - guy who

guys

on

Fox

and

defends

Hamas, lol

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/jan/27/anonymous-internet

-
my op-ed from other day, with links to info on

OpTunisia,

etc.


As I mentioned, there are three people I'm assisting

in

this.


"Trivette" is a channel operator of anonops.ru,

where a

large

faction

of

the
Anonymous movement does its work. He's a California

male

whose

documents

you
have (partially, it seems). Here is the entirety of

what

have;

if

other

info is needed from him, let me know and I'll get it

ASAP.

The

relevant

grand jury starts on Feb 10.

Subpoena

http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/4348/sub2sw.jpg


Attachment to federal grand jury subpoena:
http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/1708/subz.jpg

"Owen" controls the anonops.ru server. He was

raided by

the

FBI

but

has

not
received any subpoena. He doesn't seem interested in

any

legal

advice

until

such point as he is required to get off his ass by

the

Feds.


"Rabbit"/"No" is a 19-year-old Nevada female. Her

family

home was

raided

and
she was questioned at that point. She actually

called

right

after

got

off

with you and told me the following:

Equipment seized:

two broken laptops
two jump drives
father's laptop
mac book
samsung phone
iphone
router

The search warrant was shown to her only after she

had

requested

to

see

it

several times and was questioned about MasterCard

etc

(it's

looking

like

the
MIAA thing may just be peripheral or even unrelated,

as

I'm

just

now

able

to
determine). It's headlined United States District

Court

of

Nevada.

According
to one section, it was supposed to be carried out by

Feb

one

day

before

the California grand jury goes down. She'll be able

to

scan

it

and

get

it

to
you or whoever ends up assisting by Thursday but

it's in

reference

to

her

having allegedly accessed a secure computer to

obtain

information,

U.S.

c
1030a2c.
