Good to meet you more formally.

Likewise.

I've provided him with the answers so I guess he's all set.

Cool. My sense was that Alfredo had a sincere interest and would do a good job.

Are you following Operation Metal Gear at all?

Somewhat. As a matter of confidence I can tell you that I'm aware of social media manipulation and surveillance technologies. I suspect that the HBGary iteration is something of a clone of German/Libyan tech. But more than that I cannot say.

Feel free to come idle at irc.freenode.net #projectpm, where we're pursuing that as well as our central goal, the developing of a procedures guide by which to establish an online technocratic pseudo-republic for the purpose of engaging in activism, philanthropy, and information warfare.

This may also interest you. Due to some recent developments, I've determined the press needs to be prompted to investigate the parties involved: http://pastebin.com/kkQGwpti

Agreed.

Warmly,

Hi, Barrett.

Our mutual friend across the pond gave me your email address.

I've heard many nice things about you, although I didn't believe the story about the dwarf and bottle of Ouzo.

Hello.

cc'd here is Alfredo Molinas. He's at Yale writing a thesis on Anonymous.

Alfredo asked me to comment on your vision of Anonymous which I didn't feel comfortable doing. I don't have an informed understanding of what that is.

If you have the time I'm sure Alfredo has the questions.

Warmly,

O.
