Hello barriticus@gmail.com. I got your email from the Anons fighting to
have HB Gary sued into non-existence. Thought I'd add you to my list
of deep background deliverables. I'm pretty sure nobody else at The Guardian
has a copy of this leak yet, but I have routed it to people at the
BBC, Globe & Mail, Bloomburg, etc, some of them under different
covers. I came across this bullshit by accident; I'm a private
security consultant working for a US executive who asked me to
investigate the CIA's venture capital funding so he could find a job
with them. I broke the story about a week ago, and nobody's published
about it yet. You want the scoop? Give me a phone number and I'll call
you up and explain the story, as well as giving you all the contact
info for the people you need to reach to confirm it all.

Love & Truth,

Owen Ferguson

(Yes, I'll do a an interview, over the phone if you like, but only if
you mention my books "http://bit.ly/ekJXy6" in your article.)

Hello Everyone. Sorry for the crowded email cluster. I have been
handing this out to small groups for a week now, because I promised
Graeme I'd give him a whole news cycle after he dropped the final
proof of his first book with his publisher. 0day always wins.

I've already seeded a few copies to some strategic people, but you are
all part of my favorite social safety net.

None of this is on any type of background anymore. I was working as a
private detective for a private client at the time, and he is not to
be mentioned in any further press if you don't want me to stop
answering you all completely truthfully, openly and honestly. I won't
comment on him or his affairs.

Do what you want with it; just throw me a fucking "files" bi-line already...

Everybody please note, when talking about the distribution pattern,
that Khalid is the only Non-journalist on the list. He is simply a
poor boy in the occupied territories with no needs beyond food, water,
safety and peace. He already has a huge talent in his love and
fearlessness.

He is being bumped up into this listserv because of this entreaty I
received from one of my young operatives:

Subject: info on the fundraiser
My friend Khalid AriQat who lives in Palestine wants to come to Canada
to study and work and live here for a bit, and basically just take a
break from the war. (he does want to go home tho) He is currently
studying Sociology and Psychology at Bethlehem University. and the
reason for the fundraising is simply because he's broke and needs
funding so i told him i would get as many people as i could to help
make this happen for him since he's been through a lot and he really
deserves it. He wants to do the international relationships course
here in Belleville. He also wants to do a speech at Loylist Collage
and any were else we can think of (so if you want him to do a speech
about Palestine/Gaza any were let him or I know!) about the issues in
Palestine/Gaza and just tell everyone about stuff that the media
doesn't put out there and he really does appreciate every one here who
is helping. I already have Alex Bell, Heather Barker, Awaia:gon Dafoe,
Samuel Kuhn, Mary McBride, pretty much the whole Organic Underground
group. But this will happen a lot faster if i had other people helping
me in different city's as well i think... And like i talked to him on
the phone the other day and he started to cry he was so happy it was
awesome hahaha ya know the warm fuzzy feeling :D !! And SO if you
could help out with this and help me with organizing more fundraising
events in K.W. and Toronto then that would be AMAZING! Or maybe Julian
(nb: Julian Icham
http://www.guelphmercury.com/news/local/article/504072--guelph-activist-in-national-spotlight
, http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Julian_Ichim ) can do K.W. and you do
Toronto... anyways, i've already created a high interest savings
account to put all the money in. So PLEASE get back to me and let me
know ASAP! i'd really appreciate the extra set of hands to help out
with this it means a lot to me and to Khalid especially!!

Much love,

-Jasmine."

He is trying to accept donations to fund his educational travel, but I
don't have any money to give and neither of us feel safe using PayPal
anymore either. If anyone on the list can offer him advice, support or
other safe harbor, even just in conversation, I know that he could
help communicate the world's lack of ill-intent to the people living
daily with the most glaring example of our global hypocritical &
hyperbolic differentiation between poverty and systemic violence. If
nothing else, please add him as a facebook friend so we can all know
if he gets immolated with a white phospher cluster bomb (Violiates
several sections of Geneva code; no time to discuss that here.)

Thanks for lending me you're ears - I'll try not to wear them like a necklace.

Cheers & السلام عليكم

Owen Not-wood.
