I just want to tell you something for the record.
I get a great deal out of even the limited contact we've had so far. It's very wonderful for me to be able to talk to someone about some of the unusual things I'm involved in, and to know that that person understands them. More than that, every male wants to be able to impress a female with whatever he's supposedly done. And aside from whatever noble reasons I might possibly have to have done certain things, you're the exact sort of female that makes these things worth it beyond politics; as in, there's a part of me that wants to get things done out of some committment to justice, and there's another part of me that wants to have some sort of life beyond whatever sacrifices I have to make, and the part of me that wants me to be happy wants to impress someone exactly like you, because of what you are. That you understand these issues and all of that is one thing; and your wider personality is another part of it; but a singificant part of it is also that you're physically beautiful. If you were just beautiful, I'd be attracted to you in some way. But that, combined with how you think, makes me want to have a chance to have you with me so that I can fuck you, take you to a bar, tell you amusing anecdotes, have you tell me some as well, and all of that. Having all of this would make me happy, and that's what I want right now. It's a rare and lucky thing to happen to come into contact with someone that you're fond of.

On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 10:03 PM, Barrett Brown <barriticus@gmail.com> wrote:It's nothing life-shattering, but on top of all the FBI shit, I have to appear in court in Austin on the 19th of next month to deal with a probation violation charge. I used my friend Mirna's car to go get cigarettes when I was visiting her in 2004 after getting back from Mexico and heading to New York, and I hadn't driven in a while, so forgot to turn the headlights on while driving back from the 7-11 five blocks her place. Got pulled over, agreed to do the breathalyzer, and my alcohol level was a bit over the limit (Texas has one of lowest limits in U.S.). Managed to do a gig at Nerve.com in NYC but then had to come back to Austin for court, got put on a really expensive 18-month probation, and then a few months later got laid off from my copywriting gig. Thus had no money to pay the remaining "court costs" and monthly probation fee, much less the rent on apartment I'd sublet. My only good option was to take a job as an office furniture mover at a weird "company" my dad was working for in Dallas (actually a Pentecostal church run by a former stockbroker, long story). But the probation office wasn't interested in allowing me to change cities, whereas if I'd stayed I would have ended up getting my probation revoked and ending up in a state prison. So I just "jumped" probation and went to go live on my dad's floor for about five months and worked 10-hour days moving metal desks out of office buildings so I could pay for the apartment I wasn't living in and hopefully save up money. So a new warrant went out for my arrest, except they never found me (they've got tons of other probation violators to deal with aside from me). Eventually I managed to start selling articles that I wrote in the evenings and weekends and got a political analysis gig for an online outlet and all that, and finally moved back to Austin, leaving under sub-leases so that I wouldn't get swept up in warrant raids, and eventually moved to New York anyway. Then, after the FBI raided my apartment here in Dallas, they gave the Dallas Police my info, so I was arrested two days later and spent another day in city lockup. Now I've had to pay a lawyer $3,500 to handle the case, another $1,000 for more court costs, and depending on what the judge thinks about my explanation, I'll either have to go back on some new probation, or end up doing half a year in county, which would have a serious impact on my ability to respond to the various other issues, particularly the FBI investigation and whatever Barr/Ryan/Hoglund etc have planned for me next. Possibly I'll be able to spend any time incarcerated writing something of value, but obviously it's not something I look forward to. So, long story short, it's impossible for me to make any life plans at this point, between this and the prospect of a federal trial as well.

-Was part of sabotaging a foreign op, possibly putting lives in danger
-Is "open" with his identity, constantly encourages others to be.
-Posts constant hacking/ddos/se tutorial links on FACEBOOK.
-He discredits anons that he thinks many trust, in order to pull more people into trusting him and only him (Timm).
-Constantly, along with one of his "16 year old" followers, doxes anons, and their families, many with no real part in any ops whatsoever.
-Is looking for Commander x and encouraging others to do so.
-Is a Former Felon in the State of Texas
-Obsessed with skyping and personal chats - people need to verify their "realness" to him.
-Hangs out in anonops *STAY OUT OF ANONOPS IF YOU CAN*

wanted to see the public info u said and why, because i care about anonymous. but again, if they aren't public i totes understand not sharing. literally nbd.
I understand. There was a lot of talk around that time from a lot of people in public pages and open groups. I would seriously start with Google. Try it. That's the first thing I would do if someone mentioned it. And lol. Voldemort.
i know. i am asking her, right this moment, to point me to her public sources of information. if it is more gossip and adrian chen bullshit i will laugh my fucking ass off.
full disclosure the reason i even started contacting you is that i have been through addiction myself, changed to a softer addiction, and followed you from opcartel onwards. i have been involved in chanology since '08 and worked my ass off.
the second people started attacking you i saw the beginnings of the faggotry that has now become rampant and i started trying to get to the bottom of it. i understand the first suspicions, but as time went by and they kept doing it...
i have NO tolerance for people who use the word "addict" as some kind of insult. this personally rustles my jimmies on several levels. it's getting old.
i work heavily on actual shit that matters, syria and bradley to be precise, but i'm also really, really interested in exposing liars. they aren't threatening per se but they are part of the community of saboteurs.

He is not aware of this profile that I know of. We had a heated discussion about op cartel in my real profile. No idea what he knows or thinks or who he's asked. I've been a journalist since before he was out of diapers. What are you protecting me from? Please be open.
i will be completely open, but specifically is he aware of lizzie brett .. you mentioned a direct line to him.
is your knowledge of him based on media (which is fine and very good) or inside info?
trying to figure something out. NOTHING bad about you, more, about him and certain other parties.
I don't know if he remembers our exchange.. It is Elizabeth Brett actually. I've never used Lizzie til just that name switch. I've never considered whether he knows or remembers me. He wouldn't recognize my byline. He might be aware of the opgreece fiasco lol. The knowledge about the drug use is observation and personal connection .... Inside info. But it's no secret.
No I can't reveal my connection. Sources are protected and sacrosanct. Sorry. Same thing I would tell them in Guantanamo. Journalists don't reveal sources.
Professional Ethics.
It has been publicly stated places that it is heroin. It could be something with similar effect. What it is doesn't matter to me. I would like to see him get treatment and my sympathies are with his family. What he is using foes NOT matter except to his doctors.
My personal observation is that he was nodding in the style of heroin junkies I've known personally.
if he is on suboxone though, it is somewhat like methadone. it's medicine. and if that is indeed what he is on, i am not of the opinion that he is an addict per se. it's for people who want to get off heroin and a valid rx.
yeah i am a huge fan of pete doherty, i know my addicts lol trust.
Nobody knows for sure what's in his system without a drug test. Period.
His family has put him in rehab before. That's well documented. He was clean for awhile and then he's nodding... That's not medicine. And methadone and other substances are most certainly abused. That's known historically
Ssri in not an addiction. You need to research the definition of addiction. I don't think you understand it. Chemo for cancer or heart medication is not addiction. Not the same at all.
Valium is highly addictive which is why I have to argue to get a scrip. I use it very rarely for muscle spasms.

There's nothing I can do about this other than to promote the notion that the actual work might be better conducted via smaller cells that cooperate among one another in a loose association, and which run themselves however they see fit, sort of like how the U.S. state "laboratory system" was intended - tactics and methods of organization that prove viable can be widely adapted. This is why the campaign against the intelligence contractors is run out of Project PM's IRC, rather than Anonops, where it started.

I've been following your work since you first came to light and I really think you are one of the few people brave enough to risk shit in the name of exposing corruption, truth, whatever you want to call it. Certain Ops are being sabotaged currently, lives are being put at risk in the name of egos and I thought I would reach out to you, to see if this is something you've noticed as well. One of the most important aspects of our work, being making sure those in government-inflicted turmoil have access to secure servers, the ability to communicate anonymously, and even to access the internet by bypassing firewalls, is so important, and something I've been directly involved in, and it crushes me to see this be deliberately compromised because of personal vendettas, and worse. People's very lives are being put at stake because of ignorant fuckheads putting their egos above ops.. of course all groups get corrupted but it really pisses me off of late.I wish I had more to say, and I apologize for wasting your time as I know you have bigger fish to fry, but I thought why not, might as well see if you have any input. I would also be keen to help, anyway I can. I used to pop in to your tinychats but I have noticed they don't occur as often.I hope you are staying safe and doing o.k. We are the same age, welcome to 30. lol. :) <3evie -- Regards,Barrett Brown940-735-9748 -- Regards,Barrett Brown940-735-9748 -- Regards,Barrett Brown940-735-9748 -- Regards,Barrett Brown940-735-9748 -- Regards,Barrett Brown940-735-9748 -- Regards,Barrett Brown940-735-9748
