Barrett Brown Given Cease and Desist Equivalent in the UK
A Series on Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge
Brown, who is a convicted felon seeking asylum in the UK, is a puzzling Op frequently intersecting with Rocco Castoro along with other past hackers within Anonymous.
Here is the cease and desist on the right.
Note the claim of threats. Given Mr. Brown’s threats to police in the UK, I would think it highly likely these claims are supported. In the US if what Brown says was true, that someone was involved in either the creation or distribution of child pornography, they would be required by Federal law to report that to the authorities. Not sure if the British legal system has a similar requirement; however, it is highly likely given the statement from Brown’s target’s lawyers.
Brown threatening someone, similar to how Rocco does it, reeks of mob tactics. Here is Brown’s response that won’t go well for him, whereas this should have been done via his lawyer instead of directly.
What the above indicates is that Brown, who went to prison for several years over threatening an FBI agent, is writing a series of pieces on three people that Mensch has been keenly interested in, Kirtaner, Libby and Neal. Given that multiple Ops including Joe Fionda, having identified these three as working with the Feds, I find this statement given above the most interesting.
“…spent more than a decade targeting activists and journalists on behalf of entities ranging from FBI to the Metropolitan Police to Palantir.”
While Palantir, a Peter Thiel project is a tantalizing story and direct threat to personal liberties, I don’t see how he is going to weave a deliberate honest narrative of the FBI and Police into such a story, having no knowledge of who this woman is. The trio of Ops he mentions, do not have any known connection to Palantir either.
Brown should publish his pieces on Palantir, which I assume could have some of the connective tissues between Thiel and Yonder, such as Renee DiResta having worked for both Peter and Yonder.
Awww, Barrett & LinWoodsHorse are having trouble in paradise? On Hellthread last Spring they were discussing meeting for a meal & playing footsie under the table. So sad it wasn’t true luuuv. I guess when neither of you has human emotions, you’re not going to find the One.
