Re: rabbit/no search warrant

Thanks for the tip. 

I haven't tried it myself but will tonight. How exactly do I find the emails? I'd like to get in the queue and have a look what's in there...

I'd hurry on the e-mail, though, they're going through all of them on IRC
and reporters are in. Luckily there are lots of e-mails, lol.

I think these guys are going to get arrested, it would be interesting
to leave the soft impression that Aaron is the one thatgot them, and
that without Aaron the Feds would have never been able to get out of
their own way. So, position Aaron as a hero to the public. At this
point they are going to get arrested anyway. But, Aaron has some
concerns on how that might affect commerical business (although I'm
not clear on why yet)

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

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

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.

You may have seen yesterday's Financial Times piece

the operational heads of Anonymous had been identified

by

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

channel)

and

that he is seeking replacements for OWen. OWen merely

runs

owns

that

particular server, which as I told you is one of several

de

operational centers. Everyone involved laughed their

off

yesterday

and several of us wrote a silly press release which was

posted at

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

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

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.

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.

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.
