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.

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.

and
the things you just tweeted about however have my spidey sense


tingling and i'm going to keep going after her. shit seems to be hitting

I
think you can also search fb pages? Try searching on EPIC. Don't


remember if heroin was mentioned there or not but there was debate at the


time.  There was discussion in anon deux but the profile that mentioned it

was

deactivated I think. Try searching there as well. BB was a member


briefly til he got his ass chewed out. 2 minutes ago yeah i found the bb

in
deux.. you or tc added him, he was attacked and left two seconds


later. i was more thinking like, you meant articles etc. but i'll look on

is he aware of you, through your contact? i ask because i want to

about an hour ago Amrita David 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. about an hour ago 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. about an hour ago lol at diapers. i hear that lol
i

remember that. in part 2.. but he disappeared as quickly as he came.. you

or t

cook added him iirc and he ran about an hour ago Amrita David 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. about an hour

ago

can u reveal your connection at all? via skype or phone or w/e? some

type

of anon connection? it's ok if not, but i am very curious. about an

hour

ago Amrita David 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. about an hour ago i understand. about an

hour

ago Amrita David Professional Ethics. about an hour ago understood. to

be

clear as well we are talking about heroin not suboxone right? i also have


someone telling me things re bb.. so i am wondering if we have similar


sources.. this is why i am asking specifically, if u mean heroin. about an

hour

ago Amrita David 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. about an hour ago 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. about an hour ago Amrita David Nobody knows for sure


what's in his system without a drug test. Period. about an hour ago like me,
i

can never stop taking my medicine.. SSRI, so you could say i'm an addict..

by

that logic, you know? agree and tbh i nod a lot on valium it's pretty


similar about an hour ago Amrita David 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 about an hour ago methadone is


highly controlled but i see your point. as with suboxone. about an hour ago


Amrita David 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. about an hour ago i


understand addiction. i am psychically addicted to my medicine. if i stop

it,

the withdrawals are incredibly painful. i need it to function. it's


addiction, but not a narcotic. about an hour ago Amrita David Valium is


highly addictive which is why I have to argue to get a scrip. I use it very


rarely for muscle spasms. Not everyone has painful withdrawal from ssri On

didn't expect it, to be honest. I hear what you are saying, and it makes


sense. As someone who has been involved with this shit since chanology, and

who

keeps running into newfags who, once they learn about how anonymous (i

use

the term loosely- encompassing the offshoots) works, suddenly start


dictating how things should be run. (Something that afflicts every group

from

Occupy to lessons learned from Orwells' "Animal Farm, to  your basic

rock

bands I know, but I don't know how else to portray it.) It is hard for

me

to know who to trust, and not in a "who do i trust with my deepest


secrets, lolz" type of way, more of a "who's info do i buy as legit, whose

info

do i even begin to rely on in order to get anything done." Have you


heard anything about Anonops itself being corrupted? I have heard whispers,

and

yet, of course, that is all they are.I decided to reach out to you


mainly due to reading the pastebins of your conversations with Emick - I

have

no tolerance for, as I've said, personal b.s and families being


targeted with no real reason. Can I ask you, are you aware of someone by the

name

of Timm Wheeler? He seems to be a target of many and the underlying

vibe

of the whole thing is that he is collecting information to sell to


undesirables. It's not something I am too worried about right now, however I

have

been told to be wary. I hope you are doing well Barrett.<3 evieOn Sat,
