Yeah, will do. Also, off the record, although Anonymous as a movement will
no doubt continue to some small extent with Yemen, the 11th is the
anniversary of Iran's revolution and I'm in discussions with both Iranian
exiles and some of the more competent Anons about supplying certain tools to
Green folks ahead of that, and perhaps getting involved further. Our concern
is that Anonymous is not yet equipped to handle such a situation as Iran,
which obviously involves a lot of nuance and interference from all the great
powers and then some. Eritrea, meanwhile, is a police state with a large
expat presence in the city in which I'm currently living and I've managed to
get in touch with the exile opposition, which is enthusiastic about any
attempt. That, too, would be a secret op run out of Project PM until such
time as our cover is blown, at which point Anonymous will be thrown at them.
I expect those operations to begin in two weeks.
