Re: these people

The main problem that has been highlighted for me since the Sabu debacle is that it's impossible to know who one is dealing with. Whether they are legitimate or crooks. I remember sometime,last year or the year before that, one Anon person contacted me via Twitter asking for a US credit card. As if I'd give them details anyway, even if I had one. I remember I immediately told you and you ripped him a new one for trying to involve me in whatever madcap caper they were brewing.

That, I feel is just the tip of the iceberg. And frankly, it's not worth it to become embroiled in other people's dirty schemes. The whole idea makes me angry and turns me right off the whole concept of Anon.

To be absolutely serious I would only trust you now. No-one else. I know you, I know you wouldn't put me in danger or hoodwink me or shaft me or involve me in anything criminal. But I can't say the same for anyone else.

If Anon were made up of 100,000 Barrett Browns then yes, I would be in. But it is not and never will be. It is made up of Jennifer MadArse Emrick, Sabu, Sabu wannabe's, loudmouths and 17 year old children. None of the old guys are around. The ones who helped me, who I thought actually gave a damn about world events like Anon IRC and Avunit. I don't know who is running the Anon IRC tweeter feed but it's not the original person. And whoever is pretending to be Avunit is doing a pretty terrible job.

The thing is they get away with mediocre work and bad ideas bc a lot of people who follow Anon are stupid. And probably insane.

Anyway, the upshot of this rant is this: You need help Barrett, I'm here. Everybody else can get lost. I'm disillusioned and sick of crazy people being crazy.

I still love you and have never lost faith in you, though. So yeah, please don't get arrested. X

I'm disappointed, to say the least, about a lot of it. Anonymous is
only as good as the people who make it up, and I've seen countless
real activists just fall away as the venues become crowded with people
who don't care about issues and don't want to put any work in to
pursue effective operations. Anyway, there's still a good chance for
tighter groups exerting quality control to come up out of this,
gradually.
