me: Howdy
me: We have the rally on Thursday
me: I'm here in NYC already
Clark: thats great, i bet youre thrilled to be back in NYC
Clark: wish I could be there but i have family stuff keeping me here
me: Having a series of meetings throughout the week by which to establish a larger coalition sufficient to follow through on the metal gear campaign

me: Here's something someone else uncovered
Clark: jesus, fussy proofreader = enemy of the state
me: heh
me: I wish
me: maybe they can launch a purge against editors in general
me: this is also informative

Clark: set the touch settings on your finger pad to light and FBI will look at you
me: We're working with a bunch of new people
me: including Nicky Hegar, the investigative journalist who first revealed the nature and extent of Echelon in his 1996 book Secret Power
me: and Amnesty Internationals central Asia monitor
me: as we've determined that this methodology was used recently in Azerbaijan
me: and the fellow just got back from Baku and agrees
me: also got some new military and ex-military personnel
me: even managed to recruit the USMC Information Assurance officer who hangs at th3j35t3r's IRC channel
me: and some other folks who were formerly opposed to us
Clark: did the 'backtrace' effort collapse or are they serious trouble makers?
me: little of both
me: they are unstable
me: They do seem to be in contact with the Feds
me: luckily
me: I've been able to demonstrate how tainted any FBI investigation is to the extent that they draw upon the assistance of Backtrace

me: http://pastebin.com/giZdzipH
me: and in the process I was able to split the opinion of the various law-and-order types who associate with thejester
me: some of whom have gotten a better opportunity to see what the deal is with the Backtrace folks who now make it their home
me: that first link there should provide context
Clark: ultimately, I think your approach of being open about everything you do is the best way to behave for everyone except for maybe a very few really sophisticated individuals
Clark: is anyone going to liveblog or tweet the Thursday rally?
me: I believe so
Clark: thanks for the updates, I will continue to follow
me: Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions
