Re: Interview for American Free Press

Mr. Brown,

Thanks for the additional material. I'm working on the article as we speak. I may have to break this into two seperate articles considering the scope and depth of the scandal.

The first article will appear in next week's print and Internet editions of American Free Press.

I'll send you a copy or two if you'd like. Just forward along an address if you feel comfortable doing that.

Thanks for sharing those additional details with me. This will really please my editors, who are always anxious to break exclusive, previously unreported content. Hopefully, it will remain exclusive until the first copy hits news stands.

I'll be sure to feature your name prominently throughout the article, along with a short bio, and plenty of details about your organization and website.

I hope to turn on thousands of our subscribers and millions of our Internet readers to your group and the valuable research that they do. American Free Press is one of the most widely read publications by Mainstream and alternative journalists in the U.S. and beyond (though some may be reluctant to admit it--but trust me, they do.)

Thanks again. I hope to collaborate with you on other projects in the near future.

Sincerely,

Keith Johnson

Happy to help, and always glad to see more journalists looking into these issues.

Another thing I should note: Endgame Systems is worth mentioning. http://wiki.echelon2.org:8090/wiki/Endgame_Systems

Take a look at the e-mails excerpts in which they note that they don't want any public scrutiny and that this policy is partially based on the wishes of their gov't clients. A few weeks back they took down their website; this may be because Bloomberg has been looking into them in advance of a story which will be appearing soon; it may also have something to do with myself and Lulzsec tweeting information on them with the intent of bringing about that scrutiny. Interestingly enough, the Unveillance e-mails which Lulzsec stole a while back include two in which John Farrell, one of Endgame's execs, expresses concern about my initial examinations into the firm, with the Unveillance CEO asking him if there's anything he can do to help.

Let me know if you'd like access to either the HBGary e-mails or the Unveillance e-mails, which we keep in Google accounts for ease of searching.
