RE: greetings from RT

Hey dude,

Would you wanna answer a few questions today via email/chat after these emails are dumped? Let me know if you’re down.

Thanks,

Andrew

1. That warning may be intended to turn the focus onto alleged wrongdoing by those who support Anonymous, in which case it worked well enough to prompt a few major news stories. Or, it may actually be a well-intentioned effort to prevent any hardship for their customers. If it's the latter, it's a very ethical course to take, and in such case they shouldn't be criticized for choosing that course over a pretended ability to protect their customers in an unusual and fast-moving situation.

2. Their clients should not be concerned for their safety at all; nothing further will happen to them. It is any of their past e-mail correspondents who might have revealed information that could come back to haunt them who should be concerned for their reputations in such cases as they might be shown to be culpable for anything that negatively affects the public.

See my statement "On Stratfor" that Wikileaks retweeted last night if you haven't already.

Yo,

Finishing up a quick Stratfor story. Do you wish to offer a quote in response to these two questions:

“How do you think Stratfor’s warning on Facebook for its supporters to stop defending them lest they fear attack holds up in terms of representing such a colossal security firm?”

“Given the ease of obtaining and leaking the information from Stratfor, do you think their clients have reasons to be concerned over their own safety and should the rest of the country question the firm’s reputation and the security of the information they have?”

Answer if you can. If not, no biggie.

Best,

-A

I haven't heard anything about this op or its intent, so can't weigh in on that one.

Hello there,

Thanks for chatting the other night. The write-ups I’ve been doing for RT on Anon all week have been blowing up. Much appreciated.

Do you wish to comment at all on Op News Report (or whatever?). I was forwarded a jpg advertising an attack on mainstream media but didn’t see much more other than a flood of CNN’s facebook this week. If you’d like to point me towards anything that would be worth looking at, it would be much appreciated.

Stay in touch and keep on keepin’ on.

Andrew
