00:22:11,380 arrests were all due to an informant 420 00:22:19,260 --> 00:22:16,150 known as Sabu I have talked to everybody 421 00:22:23,820 --> 00:22:19,270 about Sabu Sabu was put in a bad 422 00:22:25,890 --> 00:22:23,830 position by the FBI and he had his 423 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:25,900 family at his kids and they were doing 424 00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:29,410 the same thing to him and then everybody 425 00:22:36,570 --> 00:22:33,310 fell bare Brown Jeremy Hammond of course 426 00:22:40,290 --> 00:22:36,580 Gregg Housh it was an incredible 427 00:22:43,890 --> 00:22:40,300 situation all because the man and 428 00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:43,900 security agencies and private security 429 00:22:51,570 --> 00:22:47,710 companies couldn't handle what was going 430 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:51,580 on with their own computers we are 431 00:22:56,820 --> 00:22:55,210 talking about young adults here and 432 00:23:00,750 --> 00:22:56,830 we're talking about the computer age and 433 00:23:03,630 --> 00:23:00,760 we're talking about 1984 it's exactly 434 00:23:07,580 --> 00:23:03,640 what was going on here and in Barrett 435 00:23:10,230 --> 00:23:07,590 Brown's case he's a journalist he is 436 00:23:14,250 --> 00:23:10,240 activist he is somebody that's out there 437 00:23:16,380 --> 00:23:14,260 trying to make change in society he 438 00:23:19,380 --> 00:23:16,390 copied and pasted a link and then 439 00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:19,390 everything unraveled for him and they 440 00:23:26,330 --> 00:23:22,720 came straight after his mom some of the 441 00:23:29,460 --> 00:23:26,340 things that were posted by Barrett 442 00:23:32,420 --> 00:23:29,470 videos we will talk about that the 443 00:23:36,870 --> 00:23:32,430 bathtub videos and and others 444 00:23:39,210 --> 00:23:36,880 threatening the FBI because of a direct 445 00:23:40,980 --> 00:23:39,220 result of you know not only his 446 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:40,990 emotional state at the time and 447 00:23:46,380 --> 00:23:42,490 certainly being threatened and being on 448 00:23:51,450 --> 00:23:46,390 the run but for them coming down on his 449 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:51,460 mom and it which is what the man does 450 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:54,250 and the man did all of this and going 451 00:23:59,370 --> 00:23:56,890 back to Sabu because they couldn't 452 00:24:02,820 --> 00:23:59,380 control the narrative they couldn't they 453 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:02,830 do anonymous was decentralized there was 454 00:24:09,420 --> 00:24:05,890 a very loose situation that was going on 455 00:24:10,980 --> 00:24:09,430 here that they didn't understand and 456 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:10,990 that's where we 457 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:16,090 today and when we go back and look we 458 00:24:22,919 --> 00:24:21,010 look at the events of 2016 2017 and we 459 00:24:26,580 --> 00:24:22,929 think about the complications in our 460 00:24:29,580 --> 00:24:26,590 lives today with mass media with social 461 00:24:31,590 --> 00:24:29,590 media platforms with with fake news and 462 00:24:33,750 --> 00:24:31,600 and the journalism that is going on 463 00:24:37,139 --> 00:24:33,760 today and the way that the man controls 464 00:24:40,470 --> 00:24:37,149 us and not only controls their daily 465 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:40,480 dogma that they continue to do but they 466 00:24:45,870 --> 00:24:43,450 want to divide and conquer all of us and 467 00:24:49,169 --> 00:24:45,880 get us in fighting that's how you 468 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:49,179 control us by getting us out of control 469 00:24:54,630 --> 00:24:51,610 getting our eyes off of the prize 470 00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:54,640 getting our eyes away from the reality 471 00:24:59,460 --> 00:24:57,370 of of the important things that are out 472 00:25:02,039 --> 00:24:59,470 there and you need to think about that 473 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:02,049 and who is doing something about that 474 00:25:06,990 --> 00:25:04,690 the decentralization of everything well 475 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:07,000 certainly on stellar and what it 476 00:25:12,419 --> 00:25:09,610 represents is part of that but this is 477 00:25:15,510 --> 00:25:12,429 something that Barrett Brown and others 478 00:25:18,149 --> 00:25:15,520 have been talking about and and seeing 479 00:25:21,510 --> 00:25:18,159 the future of for a very long time for 480 00:25:24,570 --> 00:25:21,520 us and paid the price because the man 481 00:25:26,399 --> 00:25:24,580 doesn't want us talking about it that's 482 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:26,409 the importance of this show it's the 483 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:28,690 importance of my life and when you sit 484 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:30,730 down and listen to me 485 00:25:37,169 --> 00:25:34,090 on an evening talking about friends and

backwards of for for a little 664 00:35:00,019 --> 00:34:56,769 bit but today did you ever back in 2008 665 00:35:04,730 --> 00:35:00,029 2007 2006 in your journalistic career 666 00:35:08,700 --> 00:35:04,740 have any idea about the turmoil and the 667 00:35:11,849 --> 00:35:08,710 1984 aurelion nightmare that ended up 668 00:35:14,579 --> 00:35:11,859 unraveling and a journalist being 669 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:14,589 arrested and that we would be talking 670 00:35:20,849 --> 00:35:17,410 about this stuff today did in your 671 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:20,859 futurist it's mind that you think that 672 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:23,170 this would have happened you know I 673 00:35:28,380 --> 00:35:25,450 guess I didn't come to think of it I had 674 00:35:30,089 --> 00:35:28,390 some pretty severe ideas about what 675 00:35:33,509 --> 00:35:30,099 might happen to the American Republic 676 00:35:35,009 --> 00:35:33,519 over the next couple decades but it 677 00:35:37,289 --> 00:35:35,019 didn't occur to me I you know I was a 678 00:35:38,279 --> 00:35:37,299 humor writer in large part in addition 679 00:35:41,130 --> 00:35:38,289 to being a journalist that's how I 680 00:35:43,759 --> 00:35:41,140 started out and this was a trajectory 681 00:35:45,990 --> 00:35:43,769 that kind of came about by a number of 682 00:35:50,490 --> 00:35:46,000 events you know that I could not have 683 00:35:53,339 --> 00:35:50,500 possibly predicted the the vision of the 684 00:35:55,079 --> 00:35:53,349 future which is something largely well 685 00:35:57,539 --> 00:35:55,089 the humor side of it was always cool and 686 00:36:01,319 --> 00:35:57,549 it and your personality came out that 687 00:36:05,130 --> 00:36:01,329 way you were you were in demand you were 688 00:36:08,759 --> 00:36:05,140 somebody that all of the publication's 689 00:36:11,519 --> 00:36:08,769 wanted you to write for them and did 690 00:36:14,309 --> 00:36:11,529 that affect things somewhat in other 691 00:36:16,849 --> 00:36:14,319 words did Eagle come into play as well 692 00:36:19,620 --> 00:36:16,859 not only through your writing but 693 00:36:23,970 --> 00:36:19,630 starting to face the man that you could 694 00:36:25,499 --> 00:36:23,980 take all of this on I always I've had 695 00:36:27,539 --> 00:36:25,509 very negative Michael 696 00:36:29,490 --> 00:36:27,549 tendencies since I was a small child so 697 00:36:31,499 --> 00:36:29,500 that part of it is actually pretty 698 00:36:33,690 --> 00:36:31,509 pretty in sync with everything else 699 00:36:35,850 --> 00:36:33,700 obviously as I 700 00:36:40,370 --> 00:36:35,860 started to look at the possibilities of 701 00:36:42,450 --> 00:36:40,380 the Internet as a adolescent there was 702 00:36:44,370 --> 00:36:42,460 there was a sense that there was this is 703 00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:44,380 a this was a land grab that this was 704 00:36:47,310 --> 00:36:45,310 something on which you could make 705 00:36:48,660 --> 00:36:47,320 yourself without having to climb up the 706 00:36:49,890 --> 00:36:48,670 institutional ladders and all that or 707 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:49,900 get it to college degree or any of those 708 00:36:54,020 --> 00:36:52,930 things this was something it was very 709 00:36:58,350 --> 00:36:54,030 apparent to me that this was something 710 00:37:01,800 --> 00:36:58,360 new and open just like the old you know 711 00:37:04,950 --> 00:37:01,810 frontiers it was exactly that and then 712 00:37:07,590 --> 00:37:04,960 the other fascinating part about this 713 00:37:11,070 --> 00:37:07,600 and I have asked Bella I've asked Gregg 714 00:37:15,510 --> 00:37:11,080 Housh the same important question I'm 715 00:37:18,270 --> 00:37:15,520 going to lay this out to you the man in 716 00:37:21,690 --> 00:37:18,280 general the man didn't understand 717 00:37:24,090 --> 00:37:21,700 anonymous but anonymous may not have 718 00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:24,100 understood anonymous as well in that 719 00:37:31,230 --> 00:37:27,510 what started off as lulz and laughter 720 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:31,240 turned out to take down governments and 721 00:37:37,770 --> 00:37:34,450 countries all the other that's a whole 722 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:37,780 other thing and did you envision that 723 00:37:45,420 --> 00:37:41,530 happening too as well I did actually 724 00:37:47,850 --> 00:37:45,430 when I first came across the the online 725 00:37:51,090 --> 00:37:47,860 venues from which anonymous eventually 726 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:51,100 sprung which was 4chan org back in 2006 727 00:37:58,790 --> 00:37:52,810 there was something there that 728 00:38:01,260 --> 00:37:58,800 fascinated me quite a bit the ability to 729 00:38:03,690 --> 00:38:01,270 bring in and sort of harness large 730 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:03,700 numbers of people very quickly and allow 731 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:05,770 them to put their ideas into play and 732 00:38:12,060 --> 00:38:09,610 act upon those ideas this this was very 733 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:12,070 new and even though it was being 734 00:38:16,190 --> 00:38:13,690 directed at that time with these little 735 00:38:21,930 --> 00:38:16,200 sort of got us you know surreal pranks 736 00:38:23,820 --> 00:38:21,940 the the the basic the basic the basic 737 00:38:25,710 --> 00:38:23,830 ethos of this the basic the basic 738 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:25,720 structure around it was kind of the same 739 00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:28,450 it was basically there was a period the 740 00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:30,250 big problem in 21st century is going to 741 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:33,250 be how do you arrange large numbers of 742 00:38:37,410 --> 00:38:35,010 people or allow them to self arrange 743 00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:37,420 some particular end now that that's 744 00:38:41,730 --> 00:38:38,560 possible for the first time in human 745 00:38:43,020 --> 00:38:41,740 history and that was one of the early 746 00:38:44,490 --> 00:38:43,030 answers it was it was an accidental 747 00:38:47,010 --> 00:38:44,500 answer it was something that was not 748 00:38:49,010 --> 00:38:47,020 supposed to be an answer but it was some 749 00:38:51,390 --> 00:38:49,020 that tells give us a lesson that 750 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:51,400 anything to become anything else for one 751 00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:55,330 thing and that there is a great deal 752 00:39:02,640 --> 00:38:58,330 we're going to see in the decades to 753 00:39:04,260 --> 00:39:02,650 come come out of these amorphous online 754 00:39:05,340 --> 00:39:04,270 movements they will give rise to all 755 00:39:07,340 --> 00:39:05,350 sorts of things and they're gonna be 756 00:39:10,340 --> 00:39:07,350 very very hard for us to envision today 757 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:10,350 even with the experience we have now 758 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:17,170 going back this this question isn't the 759 00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:19,450 the simple one which is would you have 760 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:20,710 done anything different 761 00:39:26,430 --> 00:39:23,170 no that's not the question the question 762 00:39:28,830 --> 00:39:26,440 is would you now knowing that you did go 763 00:39:32,460 --> 00:39:28,840 to prison that would you have done 764 00:39:34,590 --> 00:39:32,470 something more extreme anyway right with 765 00:39:36,150 --> 00:39:34,600 what did you hold back was there 766 00:39:38,370 --> 00:39:36,160 something else that you would have liked 767 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:38,380 to have done back then that you know 768 00:39:42,150 --> 00:39:40,090 what you went to prison anyway was there 769 00:39:44,910 --> 00:39:42,160 something else that you could have 770 00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:44,920 driven some screws in now I can always 771 00:39:47,730 --> 00:39:45,730 go to prison again 772 00:39:49,140 --> 00:39:47,740 yeah pretty happy with the balance I 773 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:49,150 struck back and the great thing about 774 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:51,010 the DOJ coming after me in the way they 775 00:39:56,730 --> 00:39:53,890 did well was that it was so it was so 776 00:39:58,230 --> 00:39:56,740 over overdone and so suspicious that 777 00:39:59,810 --> 00:39:58,240 even mainstream outlets that are 778 00:40:01,740 --> 00:39:59,820 generally not real quick on the uptake 779 00:40:03,660 --> 00:40:01,750 figured out pretty quickly this was 780 00:40:05,370 --> 00:40:03,670 retaliation for my investigative work in 781 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:05,380 two firms working with the government 782 00:40:08,820 --> 00:40:07,210 and so they made the case for me and for 783 00:40:10,230 --> 00:40:08,830 the research that we did with project PM 784 00:40:12,690 --> 00:40:10,240 and with some of these people from 785 00:40:14,820 --> 00:40:12,700 anonymous they made the case for how 786 00:40:19,050 --> 00:40:14,830 important that stuff was in a way that I 787 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:19,060 never could any regrets I would imagine 788 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:21,970 so but having said that one never knows 789 00:40:29,070 --> 00:40:27,370 what sort of drawbacks and difficulties 790 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:29,080 are going to later on open up new 791 00:40:33,030 --> 00:40:30,850 horizons and that's certainly true for 792 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:33,040 me so I feel like I shouldn't regret 793 00:40:40,050 --> 00:40:36,370 anything when you when you got released 794 00:40:43,110 --> 00:40:40,060 I watched the film right and that the 795 00:40:44,850 --> 00:40:43,120 little short documentary and I'm looking 796 00:40:49,350 --> 00:40:44,860 at your parents and specifically your 797 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:49,360 mom and now not to get any emotions out 798 00:40:54,540 --> 00:40:51,370 of you or anything but you look at your 799 00:40:57,720 --> 00:40:54,550 mom who and your dad who are your 800 00:41:01,170 --> 00:40:57,730 parents and obviously love you but I my 801 00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:01,180 blood boils that that is the tact 802 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:04,089 that the FBI took was to put pressure on 803 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:08,130 you via your parents who are obviously 804 00:41:13,950 --> 00:41:11,170 two of the coolest ground is people out 805 00:41:17,370 --> 00:41:13,960 there and that ignited a lot of your 806 00:41:20,940 --> 00:41:17,380 anger back then too as well how do you 807 00:41:23,730 --> 00:41:20,950 feel are you a do you do you accept what 808 00:41:27,390 --> 00:41:23,740 they did or do you still you know boil 809 00:41:29,910 --> 00:41:27,400 just a little bit that's something that 810 00:41:31,470 --> 00:41:29,920 you know I'll have plenty of time to to 811 00:41:35,569 --> 00:41:31,480 respond to in the future I mean I've 812 00:41:38,099 --> 00:41:35,579 learned patience you can't forgive a 813 00:41:39,270 --> 00:41:38,109 police agency that you already despised 814 00:41:42,690 --> 00:41:39,280 in which you already think is 815 00:41:44,130 --> 00:41:42,700 fundamentally dangerous and Dilla tereus 816 00:41:47,130 --> 00:41:44,140 to the things this country we're 817 00:41:49,260 --> 00:41:47,140 supposed to be about you can't forgive 818 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:49,270 them on top of all that for going after 819 00:41:52,230 --> 00:41:50,650 your mother for prosecuting your mother 820 00:41:55,740 --> 00:41:52,240 in order to try to get you to cooperate 821 00:41:59,069 --> 00:41:55,750 with them it was I was just a just a 822 00:42:03,960 --> 00:41:59,079 crazy story and so let's actually go 823 00:42:05,700 --> 00:42:03,970 back and not not getting really specific 824 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:05,710 we don't need to do that tonight 825 00:42:15,349 --> 00:42:10,450 but as things started to you know we can 826 00:42:18,829 --> 00:42:15,359 go back actually with with Jeremy and 827 00:42:22,980 --> 00:42:18,839 take a look at that part of things where 828 00:42:25,620 --> 00:42:22,990 obviously you didn't know what was going 829 00:42:26,970 --> 00:42:25,630 on the investigation and the way that 830 00:42:29,970 --> 00:42:26,980 they were doing things otherwise it 831 00:42:32,579 --> 00:42:29,980 would have ended differently but did you 832 00:42:34,620 --> 00:42:32,589 have suspicions were you looking at some 833 00:42:38,700 --> 00:42:34,630 of these situations that they were 834 00:42:41,069 --> 00:42:38,710 closing in did you have any idea yes 835 00:42:42,539 --> 00:42:41,079 there were a number of indications even 836 00:42:44,099 --> 00:42:42,549 aside from the usual through a paranoia 837 00:42:45,900 --> 00:42:44,109 that always crops up whenever you're 838 00:42:47,819 --> 00:42:45,910 doing something that the FBI is probably 839 00:42:50,579 --> 00:42:47,829 after you about for one thing that were 840 00:42:51,990 --> 00:42:50,589 there were the time at the point I got 841 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:52,000 involved anonymous to work on the 842 00:42:56,700 --> 00:42:53,890 Tunisian Revolution which was something 843 00:42:58,140 --> 00:42:56,710 that a lot of Tunisians were involved in 844 00:43:00,030 --> 00:42:58,150 on the anonymous front as and some of 845 00:43:01,410 --> 00:43:00,040 the fellow who later on when the 846 00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:01,420 provisional government was a member of 847 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:03,730 our Anan ops server from which a lot of 848 00:43:07,770 --> 00:43:05,890 this stuff was organized back then at 849 00:43:11,010 --> 00:43:07,780 the time I joined the FBI had just 850 00:43:14,190 --> 00:43:11,020 raided 40 households in the u.s. guns 851 00:43:14,670 --> 00:43:14,200 drawn families herded into the living 852 00:43:17,010 --> 00:43:14,680 room 853 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:17,020 all electronics taken because of the 854 00:43:20,970 --> 00:43:18,850 DDoS attacks the denial of service 855 00:43:23,510 --> 00:43:20,980 attacks that a couple thousand people 856 00:43:24,630 --> 00:43:23,520 had participated in to knock down 857 00:43:26,670 --> 00:43:24,640 mastercards 858 00:43:30,090 --> 00:43:26,680 sort of corporate website for a few 859 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:30,100 seconds which didn't cause any damage to 860 00:43:35,430 --> 00:43:31,690 the the ability to process payments by 861 00:43:37,650 --> 00:43:35,440 the way a very minor almost kind of a 862 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:37,660 digital sit in and that elicited this 863 00:43:41,490 --> 00:43:39,850 massive nationwide police response and 864 00:43:42,810 --> 00:43:41,500 then simultaneous raids in Britain so 865 00:43:45,690 --> 00:43:42,820 that was the situation when I got 866 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:45,700 involved the first things I you know was 867 00:43:50,250 --> 00:43:48,010 doing aside from the Tunisia assistance 868 00:43:51,810 --> 00:43:50,260 program was getting lawyers for these 869 00:43:54,630 --> 00:43:51,820 people going to the National Lawyers 870 00:43:56,340 --> 00:43:54,640 Guild going to jail II Durman going to 871 00:43:58,500 --> 00:43:56,350 some of these other sort of radical old 872 00:43:59,700 --> 00:43:58,510 attorneys and getting identifying the 873 00:44:01,530 --> 00:43:59,710 people who raided and been putting them 874 00:44:03,390 --> 00:44:01,540 together so I heard a lot from these 875 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:03,400 people who've been raided about exactly 876 00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:05,890 what happens so there was never there 877 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:09,250 was never a question that this was a 878 00:44:13,650 --> 00:44:10,570 path that led in one particular 879 00:44:15,180 --> 00:44:13,660 direction and as time went on as we 880 00:44:17,870 --> 00:44:15,190 started discovering things that were 881 00:44:21,110 --> 00:44:17,880 very upsetting to the US government's 882 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:21,120 there were more indications that that 883 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:23,530 you know that I was I would eventually 884 00:44:32,550 --> 00:44:28,210 be targeted the the other part for me on 885 00:44:36,900 --> 00:44:32,560 the outside looking in it was a harsh 886 00:44:38,730 --> 00:44:36,910 reality check for the FBI and all of 887 00:44:42,990 --> 00:44:38,740 those agencies that were looking into 888 00:44:45,210 --> 00:44:43,000 this that it was decentralized and this 889 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:45,220 was something that they were used to 890 00:44:52,710 --> 00:44:50,910 the exact opposite is what they were 891 00:44:55,470 --> 00:44:52,720 dealing with here do you think but I 892 00:44:58,260 --> 00:44:55,480 came down also as hard as they did 893 00:45:01,860 --> 00:44:58,270 because you know they were just you know 894 00:45:05,090 --> 00:45:01,870 pissed off that that they couldn't they 895 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:05,100 couldn't control this situation at all 896 00:45:09,540 --> 00:45:07,090 that's that's a very strong possibility 897 00:45:12,330 --> 00:45:09,550 among among the many many slaps in the 898 00:45:15,030 --> 00:45:12,340 face that we gave not only them but also 899 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:15,040 the GCHQ in England and a number of 900 00:45:20,490 --> 00:45:18,130 actual you know dictatorships and just 901 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:20,500 companies all over the world you know in 902 00:45:26,670 --> 00:45:23,010 some point Anonymous got in on a 903 00:45:28,260 --> 00:45:26,680 Interpol FBI phone conference recorded 904 00:45:29,820 --> 00:45:28,270 it and posted it online a few minutes 905 00:45:31,650 --> 00:45:29,830 pretended and it was a bet the 906 00:45:34,260 --> 00:45:31,660 conference was a bad anonymous but that 907 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:34,270 was embarrassing to the FBI things like 908 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:36,130 that you know if any of you ever dealt 909 00:45:41,550 --> 00:45:39,010 with authority figures you know that to 910 00:45:43,230 --> 00:45:41,560 injure them in some way is to invite 911 00:45:45,660 --> 00:45:43,240 retribution and when there was a great 912 00:45:49,710 --> 00:45:45,670 deal of injury you know in their 913 00:45:51,060 --> 00:45:49,720 direction during that period the the you 914 00:45:53,430 --> 00:45:51,070 know so it would be it would have been 915 00:45:54,660 --> 00:45:53,440 surprising had they not reacted partly 916 00:45:56,100 --> 00:45:54,670 because of that but also from a policy 917 00:45:58,710 --> 00:45:56,110 standpoint from the standpoint of a 918 00:46:01,260 --> 00:45:58,720 government or from people who basically 919 00:46:03,270 --> 00:46:01,270 just sort of accept that degree of 920 00:46:05,250 --> 00:46:03,280 authoritarian governments as necessary 921 00:46:08,070 --> 00:46:05,260 something like anonymous that that comes 922 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:08,080 out of nowhere and is at one year rating 923 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:09,610 video game servers and making little 924 00:46:14,190 --> 00:46:12,010 little memes right and a few years later 925 00:46:16,050 --> 00:46:14,200 is taking down is helping to take down 926 00:46:17,610 --> 00:46:16,060 the Tunisian government and then a year 927 00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:17,620 later you've got the NSA director saying 928 00:46:20,850 --> 00:46:18,730 these people will be able to take out 929 00:46:21,660 --> 00:46:20,860 power plants soon he was lying about 930 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:21,670 that I don't think you really believe 931 00:46:26,370 --> 00:46:24,010 that but it was something that the the 932 00:46:30,060 --> 00:46:26,380 trajectory I'm sure was very alarming to 933 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:30,070 a lot of people and so okay so now take 934 00:46:38,370 --> 00:46:35,530 us up to that day of the arrest again 935 00:46:40,830 --> 00:46:38,380 it's not so much about the 936 00:46:43,740 --> 00:46:40,840 sensationalism of it but there was it 937 00:46:45,540 --> 00:46:43,750 was it was a live video feed to I wanted 938 00:46:49,260 --> 00:46:45,550 to ask you about that were you 939 00:46:52,350 --> 00:46:49,270 anticipating anything on that specific 940 00:46:54,270 --> 00:46:52,360 day yes I was for one thing first of all 941 00:46:56,190 --> 00:46:54,280 they had rated me without arresting me 942 00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:56,200 in my mom's house as well and took an 943 00:46:59,160 --> 00:46:57,970 electronics all that they left the 944 00:47:01,320 --> 00:46:59,170 search warrant which michael hastings 945 00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:01,330 put up on BuzzFeed after that it's still 946 00:47:04,740 --> 00:47:03,250 up there you can see the exact companies 947 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:04,750 they were looking into with HBGary 948 00:47:08,670 --> 00:47:07,450 in-game systems our web site on which we 949 00:47:10,950 --> 00:47:08,680 compiled our information about these 950 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:10,960 companies and my dream project p.m. that 951 00:47:13,950 --> 00:47:12,370 was the that was always the point of 952 00:47:15,420 --> 00:47:13,960 this that's that's you know the search 953 00:47:17,250 --> 00:47:15,430 the secret search warrant started 954 00:47:20,700 --> 00:47:17,260 shortly after we revealed all this stuff 955 00:47:24,180 --> 00:47:20,710 to the public um so and then I was I 956 00:47:26,910 --> 00:47:24,190 would received sort of a tip on March 957 00:47:29,340 --> 00:47:26,920 5th mm I'm sorry not much but yeah March 958 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:29,350 50 doesn't 12 about that rate I did was 959 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:31,690 not tipped off about the actual the next 960 00:47:36,090 --> 00:47:33,010 rate which is about six seven months 961 00:47:37,410 --> 00:47:36,100 later when they stormed my apartment 962 00:47:38,970 --> 00:47:37,420 with the SWAT team that was something 963 00:47:40,470 --> 00:47:38,980 that took me by surprise and that I 964 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:40,480 think that comes across and recording 965 00:47:45,630 --> 00:47:42,370 that's online 966 00:47:49,530 --> 00:47:45,640 and what what what ultimately did they 967 00:47:51,090 --> 00:47:49,540 do there did you think that this was did 968 00:47:54,030 --> 00:47:51,100 you have any idea like this was your 969 00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:54,040 last day of freedom for a number of 970 00:47:59,550 --> 00:47:56,050 years did you think you ought to get 971 00:48:02,610 --> 00:47:59,560 released later on that day you know not 972 00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:02,620 really after in the aftermath after the 973 00:48:07,620 --> 00:48:03,910 raid which was you know went very 974 00:48:09,270 --> 00:48:07,630 quickly it occurred to me it well 975 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:09,280 actually no at first I thought you know 976 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:11,290 I know exactly what these guys gonna 977 00:48:15,060 --> 00:48:13,330 charge me with and I know it's nonsense 978 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:15,070 so surely it should be easy for me a 979 00:48:20,580 --> 00:48:18,610 journalist who has a megaphone to bring 980 00:48:22,590 --> 00:48:20,590 that to public attention and I'm sure 981 00:48:25,020 --> 00:48:22,600 the courts work the same way and so I 982 00:48:27,330 --> 00:48:25,030 was very naive I didn't realize I had 983 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:27,340 never really dealt with the federal 984 00:48:32,250 --> 00:48:29,770 courts before and I knew in the abstract 985 00:48:36,150 --> 00:48:32,260 of the DOJ is a very imperfect Institute 986 00:48:37,530 --> 00:48:36,160 but I did not know very much at all 987 00:48:40,110 --> 00:48:37,540 compared to what I know now about that 988 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:40,120 system how much of it can you discuss 989 00:48:46,970 --> 00:48:43,050 right now am i free to just ask whatever 990 00:48:50,100 --> 00:48:46,980 okay did they offer you that first day 991 00:48:52,410 --> 00:48:50,110 Barrett did they offer you a deal to 992 00:48:54,030 --> 00:48:52,420 flip no they hadn't actually even 993 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:54,040 charged me there was it was a criminal 994 00:48:57,660 --> 00:48:55,810 complaint they used to come raid me and 995 00:48:59,190 --> 00:48:57,670 then they had 30 days to confer some 996 00:49:01,110 --> 00:48:59,200 charges and they charged me with 997 00:49:02,310 --> 00:49:01,120 threatening a federal agent based on my 998 00:49:04,290 --> 00:49:02,320 comment that I was going to investigate 999 00:49:07,020 --> 00:49:04,300 this guy in the same way this 1000 00:49:09,900 --> 00:49:07,030 intelligence contractor had plotted 1001 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:09,910 under the DOJ with their approval to 1002 00:49:13,650 --> 00:49:12,130 investigate the families of activists so 1003 00:49:15,270 --> 00:49:13,660 I knew it wasn't a violent threat 1004 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:15,280 I knew it didn't violate the statue so 1005 00:49:18,750 --> 00:49:17,530 when those charges came I was still you 1006 00:49:21,330 --> 00:49:18,760 know like well you know there's there's 1007 00:49:24,330 --> 00:49:21,340 plenty of I can get out of this but know 1008 00:49:25,530 --> 00:49:24,340 that the FBI after those first charges 1009 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:25,540 about a month after you know obviously I 1010 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:27,130 was in jail this whole time they did 1011 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:28,570 approach my first attorney who was a 1012 00:49:34,230 --> 00:49:31,810 public defender and said that if he you 1013 00:49:35,940 --> 00:49:34,240 know tell him that if he wants any kind 1014 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:35,950 of plea bargain as if he doesn't want to 1015 00:49:39,900 --> 00:49:38,050 go to trial and go do 20 years he's 1016 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:39,910 gonna have to make a deal and I just 1017 00:49:44,430 --> 00:49:43,090 told him no and I got new lawyers in the 1018 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:44,440 process of raising the money for those 1019 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:46,570 lawyers the DOJ then came and tried to 1020 00:49:51,270 --> 00:49:49,330 seize that they not only seized the 1021 00:49:52,530 --> 00:49:51,280 money order tried to see somebody that 1022 00:49:54,510 --> 00:49:52,540 they shut it down for a few days and the 1023 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:54,520 judge went Sheila made him give it back 1024 00:49:57,660 --> 00:49:56,290 but in the process they also said 1025 00:49:58,980 --> 00:49:57,670 subpoena - we pay which was the 1026 00:50:01,560 --> 00:49:58,990 crowdsource funding side that was being 1027 00:50:04,410 --> 00:50:01,570 used for my legal fund and they demanded 1028 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:04,420 the identifying information of everyone 1029 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:06,370 who had donated which is well beyond 1030 00:50:09,330 --> 00:50:07,810 their purview it later on they got sued 1031 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:09,340 for that years later when it became 1032 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:11,890 evident but uh so this this was this was 1033 00:50:16,590 --> 00:50:14,770 this was a situation in which some crazy 1034 00:50:18,540 --> 00:50:16,600 new thing would happen every couple 1035 00:50:20,250 --> 00:50:18,550 weeks there was some like a gag order 1036 00:50:22,350 --> 00:50:20,260 there would be accusations from them in 1037 00:50:24,210 --> 00:50:22,360 filings they would they would they 1038 00:50:25,950 --> 00:50:24,220 called my new lawyers before they were 1039 00:50:28,710 --> 00:50:25,960 actually my lawyers and kind of it which 1040 00:50:30,570 --> 00:50:28,720 is something that's not just not done it 1041 00:50:33,240 --> 00:50:30,580 was there was always new information and 1042 00:50:34,710 --> 00:50:33,250 new concerns and new threats so it's 1043 00:50:37,020 --> 00:50:34,720 really hard to assess at any given time 1044 00:50:40,650 --> 00:50:37,030 what I was in for now they made one more 1045 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:40,660 offer later on after they had charged me 1046 00:50:44,940 --> 00:50:43,330 with these other I'll let you go into 1047 00:50:47,460 --> 00:50:44,950 this that's were moving forward on that 1048 00:50:50,010 --> 00:50:47,470 one but they did eventually try to get 1049 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:50,020 me to plea to one count of aggravated 1050 00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:52,810 identity theft as opposed to the eleven 1051 00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:55,210 counts they had hit me with I was facing 1052 00:50:58,890 --> 00:50:56,410 a minimum of twenty two years in prison 1053 00:51:01,860 --> 00:50:58,900 on top of the other charges altogether 1054 00:51:03,420 --> 00:51:01,870 facing 105 years worth of exposure they 1055 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:03,430 offered me two to plea to one of those 1056 00:51:08,820 --> 00:51:05,650 counts of fraud and I turned them down 1057 00:51:09,900 --> 00:51:08,830 because I was I would ever plead a fraud 1058 00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:09,910 now I certainly wouldn't plead a fraud 1059 00:51:13,860 --> 00:51:12,610 in that context it was it was had I done 1060 00:51:16,110 --> 00:51:13,870 so they would have been able to 1061 00:51:19,830 --> 00:51:16,120 prosecute anyone who links to stolen 1062 00:51:22,410 --> 00:51:19,840 information in the future so and all of 1063 00:51:24,390 --> 00:51:22,420 this sounds so criminal and you were 1064 00:51:28,290 --> 00:51:24,400 just a journalist you know and that's 1065 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:28,300 the other part about it you know being a 1066 00:51:33,170 --> 00:51:30,850 spokesman or not for anonymous really 1067 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:33,180 you know what we're talking about a 1068 00:51:39,870 --> 00:51:36,130 journalist with the career that was 1069 00:51:41,730 --> 00:51:39,880 doing these things to disrupt but 1070 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:41,740 ultimately that is what we're talking 1071 00:51:45,870 --> 00:51:43,570 about here but they wanted to make this 1072 00:51:47,130 --> 00:51:45,880 into something that it wasn't and that's 1073 00:51:50,910 --> 00:51:47,140 exactly what they do 1074 00:51:52,860 --> 00:51:50,920 was it looking back did they ever scare 1075 00:51:55,620 --> 00:51:52,870 you did they intimidate you with these 1076 00:51:58,620 --> 00:51:55,630 with these charges and with these you 1077 00:52:01,020 --> 00:51:58,630 know a sensory and prison kind of thing 1078 00:52:04,620 --> 00:52:01,030 Oh certainly I mean I spent two and a 1079 00:52:05,970 --> 00:52:04,630 half years in pretrial and detention but 1080 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:05,980 there's plenty of time to think oh my 1081 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:09,010 just my overestimating my abilities here 1082 00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:10,210 have I gotten into something 1083 00:52:14,089 --> 00:52:12,250 that I can't get out of right plenty of 1084 00:52:18,589 --> 00:52:14,099 time to reflect on that but ultimately 1085 00:52:21,180 --> 00:52:18,599 we developed a plan that would not only 1086 00:52:23,460 --> 00:52:21,190 hopefully get me out of prison and at 1087 00:52:26,010 --> 00:52:23,470 some point in the in the medium future 1088 00:52:27,030 --> 00:52:26,020 but also finish our work bring a great 1089 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:27,040 deal more of attention to these 1090 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:30,010 companies essentially use the DOJ for 1091 00:52:33,180 --> 00:52:31,690 that end as an obviously everything they 1092 00:52:35,010 --> 00:52:33,190 did was another opportunity to go out 1093 00:52:36,570 --> 00:52:35,020 there and say here's the search warrant 1094 00:52:38,130 --> 00:52:36,580 listing these firms these are the firms 1095 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:38,140 that Barrett Brown was investigating and 1096 00:52:43,349 --> 00:52:40,450 wrote about and in some cases exposed 1097 00:52:44,550 --> 00:52:43,359 their private programs this is what they 1098 00:52:46,500 --> 00:52:44,560 were after him for this is what the 1099 00:52:48,420 --> 00:52:46,510 search warrants actually say these other 1100 00:52:49,740 --> 00:52:48,430 things are red herrings and that's okay 1101 00:52:51,270 --> 00:52:49,750 sense and so hey we were effective 1102 00:52:53,099 --> 00:52:51,280 enough in that that everyone from the 1103 00:52:53,490 --> 00:52:53,109 New York Times New York Times ran to op 1104 00:52:55,170 --> 00:52:53,500 eds 1105 00:52:58,410 --> 00:52:55,180 both saying you know this is Cali to our 1106 00:53:00,420 --> 00:52:58,420 charges Washington Times that mainstream 1107 00:53:03,900 --> 00:53:00,430 outlets that again normally are not very 1108 00:53:05,220 --> 00:53:03,910 good on picking up on these nuances this 1109 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:05,230 time they did pick it up and so 1110 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:08,290 ultimately we put a pretty big dent in 1111 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:11,290 their credibility and I think open to 1112 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:12,690 wide open the window a little bit wider 1113 00:53:16,950 --> 00:53:15,010 towards these intelligence apparatus and 1114 00:53:18,690 --> 00:53:16,960 of course by that time Snowden you know 1115 00:53:20,370 --> 00:53:18,700 while I was still in jail Snowden came 1116 00:53:22,140 --> 00:53:20,380 out and that change the conversation 1117 00:53:23,700 --> 00:53:22,150 further so all in all was a pretty good 1118 00:53:26,660 --> 00:53:23,710 couple of years for an intelligence 1119 00:53:29,790 --> 00:53:26,670 contracting journalism now and there is 1120 00:53:30,990 --> 00:53:29,800 also to clear things up let's put 1121 00:53:34,410 --> 00:53:31,000 something on the record I want the 1122 00:53:36,930 --> 00:53:34,420 audience to understand ultimately what 1123 00:53:39,180 --> 00:53:36,940 came down here what which was Stratfor 1124 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:39,190 which wasn't in the original set of 1125 00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:41,650 charges but that's ultimately which you 1126 00:53:45,630 --> 00:53:44,050 were convicted on correct right so what 1127 00:53:46,950 --> 00:53:45,640 happened was we had these hackers and 1128 00:53:48,540 --> 00:53:46,960 Anonymous had originally hacked these 1129 00:53:50,190 --> 00:53:48,550 other companies HBGary and all that and 1130 00:53:51,660 --> 00:53:50,200 we exposed a bunch of stuff and those 1131 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:51,670 were really the the emails they took 1132 00:53:55,890 --> 00:53:53,650 from that company which had claimed it 1133 00:53:58,260 --> 00:53:55,900 could identify our secret leadership you 1134 00:54:00,690 --> 00:53:58,270 know quote-unquote the emails that they 1135 00:54:03,530 --> 00:54:00,700 took were instrumental in flooring 1136 00:54:06,390 --> 00:54:03,540 several very bizarre plots including uh 1137 00:54:08,940 --> 00:54:06,400 attacks on Wikileaks the setting up of 1138 00:54:10,230 --> 00:54:08,950 activists on fraud charges DDoS attacks 1139 00:54:12,270 --> 00:54:10,240 with the same source that our nons 1140 00:54:14,910 --> 00:54:12,280 yet rated for and arrested and charged 1141 00:54:16,620 --> 00:54:14,920 for all the time and then later on eight 1142 00:54:18,870 --> 00:54:16,630 months later so well we're now in now 1143 00:54:20,609 --> 00:54:18,880 focused on these companies there's 1144 00:54:22,230 --> 00:54:20,619 another hack that Jeremy Hammond another 1145 00:54:24,150 --> 00:54:22,240 anonymous hacker is involved in and that 1146 00:54:26,460 --> 00:54:24,160 some of the people 1147 00:54:28,830 --> 00:54:26,470 in my project PM group were also aware 1148 00:54:30,380 --> 00:54:28,840 of and that was a hack of Stratford 1149 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:30,390 which is a firm in Austin that that 1150 00:54:34,260 --> 00:54:32,410 supposedly you know was in the business 1151 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:34,270 of providing sort of risk assessment to 1152 00:54:38,430 --> 00:54:36,850 their high-end clientele that sort of 1153 00:54:40,590 --> 00:54:38,440 thing it turns out based on the emails 1154 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:40,600 that stolen this time and later give 1155 00:54:46,380 --> 00:54:43,330 them to WikiLeaks that's this firm was 1156 00:54:48,330 --> 00:54:46,390 spying for instance on activists in 1157 00:54:51,150 --> 00:54:48,340 Bhopal India who were trying to get 1158 00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:51,160 Union Carbide to pay more restitution to 1159 00:54:55,770 --> 00:54:54,010 the people that they had maimed or left 1160 00:54:58,170 --> 00:54:55,780 family members dead in the nineteen 1161 00:55:00,180 --> 00:54:58,180 eighty you know Bhopal disaster the Dale 1162 00:55:02,070 --> 00:55:00,190 chemical deal that sort of thing they 1163 00:55:04,380 --> 00:55:02,080 were collaborating with the FBI against 1164 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:04,390 private citizens that the FBI was giving 1165 00:55:09,150 --> 00:55:07,690 their files to this private company at 1166 00:55:12,060 --> 00:55:09,160 the behest of their clients like 1167 00:55:14,130 --> 00:55:12,070 coca-cola for instance just very bizarre 1168 00:55:16,170 --> 00:55:14,140 stuff all you know any any one of which 1169 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:16,180 these stories I think should have been 1170 00:55:21,630 --> 00:55:18,610 an eye-opener for people but anyway so 1171 00:55:22,890 --> 00:55:21,640 that that that hack was what they 1172 00:55:24,870 --> 00:55:22,900 originally decided to charge me in 1173 00:55:27,660 --> 00:55:24,880 connection with and you know at first 1174 00:55:30,030 --> 00:55:27,670 they charged me with having copied and 1175 00:55:32,010 --> 00:55:30,040 pasted a link that Jeremy Hammond had 1176 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:32,020 posted into one of these anonymous chat 1177 00:55:36,060 --> 00:55:34,570 servers where we do all this work I had 1178 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:36,070 copied the link pasted it into my 1179 00:55:40,140 --> 00:55:38,050 project PM IRC Internet Relay Chat 1180 00:55:41,580 --> 00:55:40,150 server for my journalists researchers to 1181 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:41,590 look at thinking it was some of the 1182 00:55:43,830 --> 00:55:42,130 emails 1183 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:43,840 mm-hm and it turned out those are credit 1184 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:45,490 card numbers and and as you can see from 1185 00:55:48,810 --> 00:55:46,810 the transcript which was part of the 1186 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:48,820 court record it was pretty clear that I 1187 00:55:52,890 --> 00:55:50,530 didn't know those credit card numbers I 1188 00:55:54,210 --> 00:55:52,900 asked him what was in those uh you know 1189 00:55:55,980 --> 00:55:54,220 he says ellic right he says it's like B 1190 00:55:58,020 --> 00:55:55,990 and C something like some jargon I'm 1191 00:56:00,090 --> 00:55:58,030 like okay whatever government forensics 1192 00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:00,100 show I never opened the file they were 1193 00:56:03,270 --> 00:56:02,170 already anyways it was just it was one 1194 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:03,280 of those things where they just they had 1195 00:56:05,940 --> 00:56:04,690 they had to charge me of something and 1196 00:56:07,740 --> 00:56:05,950 they know that even if it's untenable 1197 00:56:09,570 --> 00:56:07,750 and of course they had to drop all those 1198 00:56:12,870 --> 00:56:09,580 charges all 11 of those counts for a 1199 00:56:13,890 --> 00:56:12,880 number of reasons but you know imogen 1200 00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:13,900 selling to charge me with now eventually 1201 00:56:18,510 --> 00:56:16,690 what I pled to after after they had to 1202 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:18,520 drop those charges which was a real 1203 00:56:22,590 --> 00:56:20,530 embarrassment to them because of the 1204 00:56:24,870 --> 00:56:22,600 centerpiece of their case they want to 1205 00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:24,880 be a plea to something uh something in 1206 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:27,850 connection with you know the year of 1207 00:56:32,100 --> 00:56:29,890 accurate anonymous so what I pled to was 1208 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:32,110 accessory after the fact of the Stratfor 1209 00:56:35,550 --> 00:56:34,330 hack because what I did was when then 1210 00:56:37,530 --> 00:56:35,560 that when the hack had initially 1211 00:56:37,829 --> 00:56:37,540 occurred and when Jeremy Hammond and a 1212 00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:37,839 few other 1213 00:56:42,299 --> 00:56:40,210 people were debating about what to do 1214 00:56:44,519 --> 00:56:42,309 with these emails they had taken a 1215 00:56:46,049 --> 00:56:44,529 couple of us for arguing that you don't 1216 00:56:47,190 --> 00:56:46,059 dump them online we don't know what's in 1217 00:56:48,569 --> 00:56:47,200 them there could be information in there 1218 00:56:50,999 --> 00:56:48,579 that could get someone hurts perhaps 1219 00:56:53,999 --> 00:56:51,009 informants under a foreign dictatorship 1220 00:56:56,759 --> 00:56:54,009 you know who spoke to them and so I 1221 00:56:59,309 --> 00:56:56,769 called the company Stratford called its 1222 00:57:01,410 --> 00:56:59,319 executives on the phone and offered to 1223 00:57:03,839 --> 00:57:01,420 handle any redactions that needed to be 1224 00:57:07,529 --> 00:57:03,849 made if these emails were to indeed be 1225 00:57:10,079 --> 00:57:07,539 dumped online and that is ultimately 1226 00:57:11,819 --> 00:57:10,089 what's and it's something that the DOJ 1227 00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:11,829 never mentioned it earlier filings but 1228 00:57:15,569 --> 00:57:13,690 by the time we got into this two-year 1229 00:57:18,989 --> 00:57:15,579 process of them having to drop all these 1230 00:57:21,029 --> 00:57:18,999 charges that was enough for them so when 1231 00:57:23,759 --> 00:57:21,039 you hear people who are national 1232 00:57:25,380 --> 00:57:23,769 security enthusiasts talk about how 1233 00:57:28,109 --> 00:57:25,390 their big concern is that is that people 1234 00:57:29,579 --> 00:57:28,119 might get hurt from these dumps keep in 1235 00:57:31,109 --> 00:57:29,589 mind that's what I tried to do I tried 1236 00:57:32,370 --> 00:57:31,119 to rectify that and that's what they 1237 00:57:34,229 --> 00:57:32,380 used against me they don't really care 1238 00:57:36,329 --> 00:57:34,239 if someone gets killed over this they 1239 00:57:39,029 --> 00:57:36,339 it's helpful to them it helps make their 1240 00:57:41,099 --> 00:57:39,039 case and helps helps them argue for for 1241 00:57:43,049 --> 00:57:41,109 more classification now we're gonna head 1242 00:57:44,099 --> 00:57:43,059 towards a break here in about 90 seconds 1243 00:57:48,859 --> 00:57:44,109 so I'll see if I can get a quick answer 1244 00:57:52,289 --> 00:57:48,869 out of you it to me and to others the 1245 00:57:56,249 --> 00:57:52,299 Stratfor hack and the way that it was 1246 00:57:59,940 --> 00:57:56,259 done was really a sting operation wasn't 1247 00:58:01,140 --> 00:57:59,950 it wasn't it more like entrapment it was 1248 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:01,150 it was something that had actually 1249 00:58:04,650 --> 00:58:02,650 initiated with some some run-of-the-mill 1250 00:58:06,239 --> 00:58:04,660 criminal hackers I think out of Eastern 1251 00:58:08,249 --> 00:58:06,249 Europe and they had taken control of the 1252 00:58:10,799 --> 00:58:08,259 server secretly at some point and then 1253 00:58:12,690 --> 00:58:10,809 at some point that control was handed 1254 00:58:14,910 --> 00:58:12,700 over in parts to other people who missed 1255 00:58:16,079 --> 00:58:14,920 and that made a wait way to anonymous so 1256 00:58:17,370 --> 00:58:16,089 there were several people including 1257 00:58:19,259 --> 00:58:17,380 myself who knew that Stratford was 1258 00:58:21,239 --> 00:58:19,269 compromised right one of the people who 1259 00:58:23,130 --> 00:58:21,249 knew it was Sabu Hector monsignore who 1260 00:58:24,779 --> 00:58:23,140 was one of the major Anonymous hackers 1261 00:58:26,339 --> 00:58:24,789 who had been involved in these previous 1262 00:58:29,519 --> 00:58:26,349 hacks that had killed all these emails 1263 00:58:31,950 --> 00:58:29,529 and who unbeknownst to us had been 1264 00:58:35,819 --> 00:58:31,960 secretly discovered found identified and 1265 00:58:37,559 --> 00:58:35,829 turned by the FBI seven months prior so 1266 00:58:39,930 --> 00:58:37,569 this strapped for hack and everything 1267 00:58:42,450 --> 00:58:39,940 else that SOB you presided over was 1268 00:58:45,959 --> 00:58:42,460 allowed to happen by the FBI and that is 1269 00:58:48,029 --> 00:58:45,969 the that's the part that's the bite that 1270 00:58:50,759 --> 00:58:48,039 that is that's the real criminal 1271 00:58:51,540 --> 00:58:50,769 activity here and it's something that 1272 00:58:56,130 --> 00:58:51,550 has 1273 00:58:58,140 --> 00:58:56,140 it's discussed but not exploited I'm 1274 00:59:01,080 --> 00:58:58,150 sorry I had to say that word but it's 1275 00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:01,090 really the true part about this Sabu 1276 00:59:06,330 --> 00:59:03,690 this was entrapment it was entrapment 1277 00:59:09,390 --> 00:59:06,340 through and through there wasn't any way 1278 00:59:12,410 --> 00:59:09,400 to well obviously there wasn't but 1279 00:59:15,330 --> 00:59:12,420 wasn't there a legal way looking back - 1280 00:59:17,510 --> 00:59:15,340 to take advantage of the entrapment part 1281 00:59:19,980 --> 00:59:17,520 of this and have all of this go away 1282 00:59:21,210 --> 00:59:19,990 there were all sorts of things very much 1283 00:59:23,550 --> 00:59:21,220 like that I mean you're absolutely right 1284 00:59:24,990 --> 00:59:23,560 that and several other aspects including 1285 00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:25,000 information they concealed from my 1286 00:59:29,730 --> 00:59:26,410 lawyers and which ended up in the press 1287 00:59:31,740 --> 00:59:29,740 after I was sentenced showing showing 1288 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:31,750 again that I had no intention of you 1289 00:59:37,770 --> 00:59:35,170 know of losing credit card numbers that 1290 00:59:38,850 --> 00:59:37,780 should have been introduced we had a 1291 00:59:39,990 --> 00:59:38,860 legal team that involved several 1292 00:59:42,780 --> 00:59:40,000 different people who did not necessarily 1293 00:59:44,340 --> 00:59:42,790 mesh well and some things that were you 1294 00:59:46,170 --> 00:59:44,350 know pretty major were actually lost in 1295 00:59:48,690 --> 00:59:46,180 the cracks and I tried to bring up a lot 1296 00:59:50,070 --> 00:59:48,700 of them myself in my allocution when I 1297 00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:50,080 spoke to the judge for ten minutes of 1298 00:59:52,710 --> 00:59:52,090 made public well you know that's just 1299 00:59:54,060 --> 00:59:52,720 not enough 1300 00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:54,070 and this judge in particular was just 1301 00:59:58,530 --> 00:59:56,770 not he was not terribly fastidious about 1302 01:00:00,270 --> 00:59:58,540 making sure that we're doing things by 1303 01:00:01,890 --> 01:00:00,280 the book that's not unusual among 1304 01:00:05,430 --> 01:00:01,900 federal judges unfortunately yeah the 1305 01:00:06,990 --> 01:00:05,440 crime was allowed to happen if the FBI 1306 01:00:10,770 --> 01:00:07,000 we're gonna take a break right here but 1307 01:00:12,450 --> 01:00:10,780 if the FBI was really on the up-and-up 1308 01:00:15,330 --> 01:00:12,460 and honest which they're not of course 1309 01:00:17,780 --> 01:00:15,340 but they would not have allowed the 1310 01:00:20,010 --> 01:00:17,790 crime to happen and allow all of these 1311 01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:20,020 individuals to go to prison it's in an 1312 01:00:24,450 --> 01:00:21,930

free but what was that like did did you 1399 01:05:06,910 --> 01:05:03,020 have any issues with reality I mean 1400 01:05:08,590 --> 01:05:06,920 because now you can do things like walk 1401 01:05:11,530 --> 01:05:08,600 around and change your mind and not have 1402 01:05:14,140 --> 01:05:11,540 somebody around you and and and and the 1403 01:05:18,310 --> 01:05:14,150 confinement part you're free again does 1404 01:05:20,380 --> 01:05:18,320 that take a little bit of adjusting yeah 1405 01:05:21,700 --> 01:05:20,390 readjusting back to civilian life was 1406 01:05:24,370 --> 01:05:21,710 harder than adjusted to prison in the 1407 01:05:26,530 --> 01:05:24,380 first place I can only imagine I can 1408 01:05:29,650 --> 01:05:26,540 only imagine that there was a shot of 1409 01:05:30,370 --> 01:05:29,660 you and where you guys stopped at like a 1410 01:05:31,570 --> 01:05:30,380 truck stop 1411 01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:31,580 or something when you were driving to 1412 01:05:37,750 --> 01:05:36,290 the halfway house and you were like in a 1413 01:05:38,590 --> 01:05:37,760 bathroom I think you know what I'm 1414 01:05:43,660 --> 01:05:38,600 talking about 1415 01:05:47,590 --> 01:05:43,670 but I it looked to me like you were you 1416 01:05:49,210 --> 01:05:47,600 were right there like wow okay hey you 1417 01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:49,220 weren't comfortable I guess it's the 1418 01:05:54,490 --> 01:05:51,050 best way to put it you weren't were you 1419 01:05:56,380 --> 01:05:54,500 oh no not at all for one thing we had we 1420 01:05:58,960 --> 01:05:56,390 had a certain amount of time to get to 1421 01:06:00,910 --> 01:05:58,970 get from the border of Mexico 1422 01:06:03,310 --> 01:06:00,920 well my prison was in South Texas to 1423 01:06:05,500 --> 01:06:03,320 Dallas and they originally did not give 1424 01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:05,510 us sufficient time and I happen to know 1425 01:06:08,980 --> 01:06:06,890 from talking other inmates that they 1426 01:06:11,500 --> 01:06:08,990 will put out another warrant for you if 1427 01:06:12,790 --> 01:06:11,510 you are late and unaccounted for at that 1428 01:06:14,140 --> 01:06:12,800 halfway house so I adverse tried to 1429 01:06:16,300 --> 01:06:14,150 argue for more time that we would have 1430 01:06:19,030 --> 01:06:16,310 seven hours to drive this thing that 1431 01:06:20,380 --> 01:06:19,040 takes about seven hours and you know we 1432 01:06:23,620 --> 01:06:20,390 were there making a documentary about 1433 01:06:27,220 --> 01:06:23,630 meantime so we had a lot you know lots 1434 01:06:29,950 --> 01:06:27,230 of worry about and having said that just 1435 01:06:32,380 --> 01:06:29,960 in general that the halfway house I was 1436 01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:32,390 not excited about that and I actually 1437 01:06:35,290 --> 01:06:33,890 considered staying in prison for the 1438 01:06:36,940 --> 01:06:35,300 last six months rather than take that 1439 01:06:38,380 --> 01:06:36,950 halfway house time reason they gave me 1440 01:06:39,370 --> 01:06:38,390 so much halfway house time which is six 1441 01:06:41,590 --> 01:06:39,380 months is actually put unusual these 1442 01:06:43,180 --> 01:06:41,600 days is to get me out of there because I 1443 01:06:46,330 --> 01:06:43,190 was filing a lot of administrative 1444 01:06:48,490 --> 01:06:46,340 remedies but administrative remedy forms 1445 01:06:50,770 --> 01:06:48,500 based on due process violations 1446 01:06:52,090 --> 01:06:50,780 obviously I was writing a column that 1447 01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:52,100 was pretty popular and what the National 1448 01:06:56,980 --> 01:06:54,170 Magazine Award about that prison and 1449 01:06:59,710 --> 01:06:56,990 about the DOP in general so they didn't 1450 01:07:00,940 --> 01:06:59,720 want me there but you know the halfway 1451 01:07:03,100 --> 01:07:00,950 house yeah if you got a whole nother 1452 01:07:06,790 --> 01:07:03,110 thing and now it's you know you it 1453 01:07:08,530 --> 01:07:06,800 doesn't have the same charms as prison 1454 01:07:14,260 --> 01:07:08,540 halfway house I'll tell you that there's 1455 01:07:19,570 --> 01:07:14,270 the same charms okay Wow okay 1456 01:07:22,780 --> 01:07:19,580 okay now let's let's go to today since 1457 01:07:26,310 --> 01:07:22,790 your release which was November 2016 the 1458 01:07:29,230 --> 01:07:26,320 you have seen this country go through 1459 01:07:31,900 --> 01:07:29,240 the world goes who through some crazy 1460 01:07:36,010 --> 01:07:31,910 things with not only internet privacy 1461 01:07:41,509 --> 01:07:36,020 certainly WikiLeaks and and emails data 1462 01:07:44,719 --> 01:07:41,519 mining fake news crazy controlled 1463 01:07:47,269 --> 01:07:44,729 lism with an agenda all of the things 1464 01:07:52,759 --> 01:07:47,279 that you had warned us about in your 1465 01:07:53,809 --> 01:07:52,769 writings leading up to 2016 here we are 1466 01:07:56,689 --> 01:07:53,819 today 1467 01:07:58,189 --> 01:07:56,699 what does anything surprise you right 1468 01:08:02,479 --> 01:07:58,199 now where we are with the internet 1469 01:08:06,409 --> 01:08:02,489 privacy journalism mass media and fake 1470 01:08:07,939 --> 01:08:06,419 news I'm mostly the one thing that keeps 1471 01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:07,949 surprising me is the extent to which 1472 01:08:13,249 --> 01:08:11,130 people have just given up on nuance it's 1473 01:08:15,589 --> 01:08:13,259 very difficult for me to make an 1474 01:08:19,459 --> 01:08:15,599 argument that someone look at and Wrekin 1475 01:08:22,370 --> 01:08:19,469 and believe is on route to another 1476 01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:22,380 arguments as in if I say look the FBI's 1477 01:08:27,589 --> 01:08:24,210 corrupt look at this people think that 1478 01:08:30,079 --> 01:08:27,599 I'm supporting Trump if I say the exact 1479 01:08:32,899 --> 01:08:30,089 table if I say you know something on the 1480 01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:32,909 exact opposite of the party line people 1481 01:08:37,299 --> 01:08:34,650 will just take that extrapolate from it 1482 01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:37,309 so it's very hard to say look you know 1483 01:08:43,789 --> 01:08:40,170 these these organizations the DOJ the 1484 01:08:45,919 --> 01:08:43,799 FBI the CIA we should not be we should 1485 01:08:47,269 --> 01:08:45,929 not be cozying up to them regardless of 1486 01:08:48,950 --> 01:08:47,279 what you know what you think of the 1487 01:08:51,499 --> 01:08:48,960 investigation these are not 1488 01:08:53,749 --> 01:08:51,509 fundamentally sound groups they never 1489 01:08:55,279 --> 01:08:53,759 really have been they've different so 1490 01:08:57,470 --> 01:08:55,289 it's it's people have become I think 1491 01:08:58,849 --> 01:08:57,480 more intellectually dishonest I think I 1492 01:09:03,379 --> 01:08:58,859 think obviously people have gotten the 1493 01:09:05,539 --> 01:09:03,389 opportunity to avoid reasons criticism 1494 01:09:07,069 --> 01:09:05,549 of their positions by going online and 1495 01:09:09,289 --> 01:09:07,079 just reading you know a certain array of 1496 01:09:11,269 --> 01:09:09,299 people who think like them and they have 1497 01:09:14,779 --> 01:09:11,279 they have not availed themselves to the 1498 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:14,789 opportunity to to look at look at all 1499 01:09:18,259 --> 01:09:16,650 the facts and judge both positions on 1500 01:09:19,309 --> 01:09:18,269 any issue before making up their mind 1501 01:09:21,919 --> 01:09:19,319 and that's that selling it was already 1502 01:09:24,349 --> 01:09:21,929 happening but the extent to which that's 1503 01:09:27,019 --> 01:09:24,359 gotten worse that that's what's 1504 01:09:30,259 --> 01:09:27,029 horrified me most it seems to have 1505 01:09:34,220 --> 01:09:30,269 happened pretty quickly now it built up 1506 01:09:36,890 --> 01:09:34,230 to this point for Ford you know a couple 1507 01:09:39,249 --> 01:09:36,900 of decades but certainly the divisive 1508 01:09:42,740 --> 01:09:39,259 'no sand the effectiveness of of 1509 01:09:45,740 --> 01:09:42,750 different media platforms out there with 1510 01:09:49,430 --> 01:09:45,750 the internet to divide and caused this 1511 01:09:51,740 --> 01:09:49,440 anger in and the anger now is everywhere 1512 01:09:54,740 --> 01:09:51,750 is there a way to pull it back and get 1513 01:09:55,430 --> 01:09:54,750 everybody back on the same page no I 1514 01:09:57,770 --> 01:09:55,440 don't think there is 1515 01:09:59,479 --> 01:09:57,780 I think I think we were ill served by 1516 01:10:01,280 --> 01:09:59,489 all the rhetoric about this being one 1517 01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:01,290 nation and we're all you know deep down 1518 01:10:04,939 --> 01:10:03,090 where we have fundamental things in 1519 01:10:06,410 --> 01:10:04,949 common we really don't there's this is a 1520 01:10:08,060 --> 01:10:06,420 fractured nation and there's no reason 1521 01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:08,070 to expect that it shouldn't be there 1522 01:10:11,060 --> 01:10:09,449 there are not fundamentals in which 1523 01:10:13,939 --> 01:10:11,070 everyone agrees on it's just not the 1524 01:10:18,020 --> 01:10:13,949 case and so I think the best strategy 1525 01:10:19,220 --> 01:10:18,030 going forward is for those people who 1526 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:19,230 agree on these sort of open society 1527 01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:21,570 ideas in general they're to oppose the 1528 01:10:24,350 --> 01:10:22,770 surveillance state oppose the police 1529 01:10:27,290 --> 01:10:24,360 state sort of things of that nature 1530 01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:27,300 should work together more efficiently 1531 01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:30,690 figure out how they can address their 1532 01:10:35,780 --> 01:10:32,130 fundamentals and how they organize how 1533 01:10:38,540 --> 01:10:35,790 they how they try to affect change and 1534 01:10:41,510 --> 01:10:38,550 just sort of prepare prepare for 1535 01:10:44,090 --> 01:10:41,520 whatever may happen the the warnings 1536 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:44,100 were there right the warnings were there 1537 01:10:53,780 --> 01:10:50,250 like 1984 brave new world and we all 1538 01:10:55,820 --> 01:10:53,790 knew that this day could arrive but we 1539 01:10:58,400 --> 01:10:55,830 considered it brilliant writing and 1540 01:11:01,880 --> 01:10:58,410 science fiction I don't think anybody is 1541 01:11:05,150 --> 01:11:01,890 surprised where we are today that we are 1542 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:05,160 here but we indeed are and these things 1543 01:11:10,580 --> 01:11:08,130 have come to pass and it seems like 1544 01:11:14,090 --> 01:11:10,590 nobody wants to do anything about it 1545 01:11:17,900 --> 01:11:14,100 well except for yourself and and me I I 1546 01:11:19,850 --> 01:11:17,910 don't I don't get it why everybody was 1547 01:11:20,570 --> 01:11:19,860 aware of it but now they don't want to 1548 01:11:23,510 --> 01:11:20,580 do anything 1549 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:23,520 I think civic virtue whether it be the 1550 01:11:29,870 --> 01:11:25,170 forms that we may agree with or disagree 1551 01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:29,880 with you know just the impulse to act a 1552 01:11:33,530 --> 01:11:32,010 true self risk if necessary that was saw 1553 01:11:35,870 --> 01:11:33,540 it was very much in play in the 60s and 1554 01:11:38,270 --> 01:11:35,880 70s on on both sides whether it be 1555 01:11:40,070 --> 01:11:38,280 Nixon's people or the you know anti-war 1556 01:11:43,189 --> 01:11:40,080 people and so forth people were more 1557 01:11:45,110 --> 01:11:43,199 willing to do unusual adventurous things 1558 01:11:47,510 --> 01:11:45,120 if they thought it was necessary that's 1559 01:11:49,490 --> 01:11:47,520 something that is that is slowly just 1560 01:11:50,870 --> 01:11:49,500 deteriorated in this country as far as I 1561 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:50,880 can tell from you know I was born at 21 1562 01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:52,650 so what do I know but from what I can 1563 01:11:55,670 --> 01:11:53,850 tell and from what I can hear from 1564 01:11:57,410 --> 01:11:55,680 people who were around this is a 1565 01:11:59,500 --> 01:11:57,420 different population people are 1566 01:12:02,150 --> 01:11:59,510 different people my age in particular 1567 01:12:05,510 --> 01:12:02,160 you know the internet which I have 1568 01:12:07,310 --> 01:12:05,520 obviously the you know depend upon for 1569 01:12:09,410 --> 01:12:07,320 the things I want to do I think it does 1570 01:12:14,630 --> 01:12:09,420 have a very dilatory effect 1571 01:12:16,790 --> 01:12:14,640 on the adventurism that the the 1572 01:12:19,490 --> 01:12:16,800 adventurism that was the norm back in 1573 01:12:21,740 --> 01:12:19,500 the 18th and 19th centuries and now 1574 01:12:24,860 --> 01:12:21,750 there's another fascinating thing about 1575 01:12:27,830 --> 01:12:24,870 this that not only that you write about 1576 01:12:30,500 --> 01:12:27,840 but I think while becoming very aware is 1577 01:12:33,110 --> 01:12:30,510 that in the 18th and 19th centuries 1578 01:12:37,070 --> 01:12:33,120 certainly going all the way up to the 1579 01:12:40,340 --> 01:12:37,080 80s before the internet it was a slow 1580 01:12:42,740 --> 01:12:40,350 process for change or to affect emotions 1581 01:12:45,290 --> 01:12:42,750 it was it was slow a lot of it was even 1582 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:45,300 word-of-mouth or flyers or magazines and 1583 01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:46,170 that kind of thing 1584 01:12:52,970 --> 01:12:50,370 today it is down to nanoseconds where 1585 01:12:55,970 --> 01:12:52,980 you have millions of people that are 1586 01:12:59,060 --> 01:12:55,980 reacting literally at the click of a 1587 01:13:00,890 --> 01:12:59,070 mouse worldwide that is something that 1588 01:13:03,169 --> 01:13:00,900 is completely spun out of control and 1589 01:13:06,229 --> 01:13:03,179 the man and and the media outlets 1590 01:13:11,330 --> 01:13:06,239 understand this it's a nanosecond away 1591 01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:11,340 from crazy emotions there are there are 1592 01:13:16,610 --> 01:13:14,610 several just vastly fundamental changes 1593 01:13:18,740 --> 01:13:16,620 of the sort we've never seen this degree 1594 01:13:20,570 --> 01:13:18,750 of that have come into play sort of all 1595 01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:20,580 centered around the internet since I was 1596 01:13:23,450 --> 01:13:21,170 born 1597 01:13:25,610 --> 01:13:23,460 historically speaking you know going 1598 01:13:26,780 --> 01:13:25,620 from the 1980s situation where you do 1599 01:13:29,209 --> 01:13:26,790 have you have international phone calls 1600 01:13:31,060 --> 01:13:29,219 and you have letters and all that we're 1601 01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:31,070 kind of it ourself a connected world 1602 01:13:37,430 --> 01:13:35,250 going to 15 20 years later it is a 1603 01:13:39,530 --> 01:13:37,440 fundamental difference in the 1604 01:13:41,180 --> 01:13:39,540 environment to have anyone in the world 1605 01:13:42,830 --> 01:13:41,190 be able to collaborate with anyone else 1606 01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:42,840 in the world that is something that had 1607 01:13:46,430 --> 01:13:44,130 human history Hubley always had that 1608 01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:46,440 power have we had some telepathy whereby 1609 01:13:51,790 --> 01:13:48,330 you could have organized with people in 1610 01:13:53,780 --> 01:13:51,800 China from Britain in 1400 the entire 1611 01:13:55,939 --> 01:13:53,790 obviously the entire history our history 1612 01:13:57,350 --> 01:13:55,949 would be vastly different so suddenly 1613 01:13:59,780 --> 01:13:57,360 this is come into play suddenly this is 1614 01:14:01,160 --> 01:13:59,790 now possible and a lot of people haven't 1615 01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:01,170 really thought about what that means 1616 01:14:03,919 --> 01:14:02,850 there are some people who think about it 1617 01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:03,929 very much and those are the people at 1618 01:14:08,650 --> 01:14:06,330 DARPA i ARPA some of these companies 1619 01:14:10,970 --> 01:14:08,660 that are sort of given the task of 1620 01:14:12,140 --> 01:14:10,980 managing the government's response to 1621 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:12,150 the things that they think are to come 1622 01:14:19,490 --> 01:14:16,170 down the pike let's talk about what you 1623 01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:19,500 are doing now with the pursuance project 1624 01:14:23,070 --> 01:14:21,690 tell us about that because this 1625 01:14:26,460 --> 01:14:23,080 addresses all 1626 01:14:27,900 --> 01:14:26,470 these changes that are possible I mean 1627 01:14:30,630 --> 01:14:27,910 these are basically the issues that I'm 1628 01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:30,640 obsessed with at the issues of and the 1629 01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:32,410 broad issue of yes now we can now 1630 01:14:35,670 --> 01:14:33,730 collaborate now things are fundamentally 1631 01:14:38,100 --> 01:14:35,680 different the nation-state the 1632 01:14:41,610 --> 01:14:38,110 geographical you know associationism 1633 01:14:42,930 --> 01:14:41,620 that is informed all of our structures 1634 01:14:45,150 --> 01:14:42,940 all of our political institutions they 1635 01:14:47,730 --> 01:14:45,160 all date back from when it made sense to 1636 01:14:49,590 --> 01:14:47,740 work with your neighbors and there was 1637 01:14:50,970 --> 01:14:49,600 no other option and so these these 1638 01:14:52,530 --> 01:14:50,980 institutions they've come into that 1639 01:14:54,660 --> 01:14:52,540 they've continued on to this age and 1640 01:14:55,620 --> 01:14:54,670 they've changed a bit but most of them 1641 01:14:57,750 --> 01:14:55,630 are not capable of changing 1642 01:15:00,030 --> 01:14:57,760 fundamentally and adapting to these new 1643 01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:00,040 realities and so you know some of them 1644 01:15:05,100 --> 01:15:01,690 will do better than others in the 1645 01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:05,110 meantime those of us who are keen on 1646 01:15:10,470 --> 01:15:07,570 history and are thus worried about what 1647 01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:10,480 might be happening soon you know even 1648 01:15:14,310 --> 01:15:11,770 even the things have been going on in 1649 01:15:17,190 --> 01:15:14,320 the last 10 years or so 1650 01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:17,200 I think pales compared to what may very 1651 01:15:22,500 --> 01:15:19,330 well happen the next 20 years and so 1652 01:15:24,510 --> 01:15:22,510 those of us who want who look at it that 1653 01:15:26,220 --> 01:15:24,520 way who think that these are times in 1654 01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:26,230 which profound change can occur and 1655 01:15:30,660 --> 01:15:29,290 either will be will be done by others 1656 01:15:34,580 --> 01:15:30,670 who we may disagree with what will be 1657 01:15:37,290 --> 01:15:34,590 done by us we have the responsibility to 1658 01:15:38,550 --> 01:15:37,300 approach this question this key problem 1659 01:15:40,980 --> 01:15:38,560 in 21st century which is how you 1660 01:15:43,860 --> 01:15:40,990 organize large numbers of people that 1661 01:15:46,170 --> 01:15:43,870 you agree with in some basic way and get 1662 01:15:48,330 --> 01:15:46,180 them to act in a way that's not just fun 1663 01:15:49,500 --> 01:15:48,340 and you know histrionic it doesn't 1664 01:15:51,300 --> 01:15:49,510 involve just going the streets and 1665 01:15:55,050 --> 01:15:51,310 shouting and holding sirens but that 1666 01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:55,060 really can grow perpetually while 1667 01:15:59,340 --> 01:15:57,130 refining itself never becoming 1668 01:16:02,490 --> 01:15:59,350 overburdened you know while still being 1669 01:16:04,620 --> 01:16:02,500 able to grow quickly and adapt that's 1670 01:16:06,690 --> 01:16:04,630 what the pursuance system that we're 1671 01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:06,700 building is intended to do for people 1672 01:16:10,410 --> 01:16:08,290 who believe in the open society who were 1673 01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:10,420 opposed to authoritarian governments 1674 01:16:18,660 --> 01:16:13,210 this is this is sorry I was gonna say 1675 01:16:20,550 --> 01:16:18,670 give me an example of a project yes so 1676 01:16:21,660 --> 01:16:20,560 this is something that is that is geared 1677 01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:21,670 towards a couple different 1678 01:16:25,740 --> 01:16:23,410 constituencies one of which is the 1679 01:16:27,210 --> 01:16:25,750 people like those anonymous or telecomix 1680 01:16:29,820 --> 01:16:27,220 or these other groups that were sort of 1681 01:16:33,030 --> 01:16:29,830 on the cutting edge of of working 1682 01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:33,040 together online against criminalized 1683 01:16:35,910 --> 01:16:35,170 institutions and taking up new effective 1684 01:16:36,330 --> 01:16:35,920 ways of doing that 1685 01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:36,340 this is 1686 01:16:42,980 --> 01:16:39,210 a way of letting them organize in a more 1687 01:16:44,700 --> 01:16:42,990 effective way than the amorphous kind of 1688 01:16:45,810 --> 01:16:44,710 haphazard ways that we did with 1689 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:45,820 anonymous and some of these other things 1690 01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:48,010 back then it's also a way for existing 1691 01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:49,810 institutions you know groups that are 1692 01:16:53,970 --> 01:16:51,570 out fighting for civil liberties 1693 01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:53,980 opposing transparency on government to 1694 01:16:57,570 --> 01:16:55,810 better make use of the people who 1695 01:17:01,140 --> 01:16:57,580 support their causes to not just have 1696 01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:01,150 them sign petitions and make donations 1697 01:17:06,630 --> 01:17:03,130 but to get them arrayed into a sort of 1698 01:17:10,950 --> 01:17:06,640 self organized network that can grow 1699 01:17:12,780 --> 01:17:10,960 again and sort of become a real a real 1700 01:17:14,490 --> 01:17:12,790 asset for those groups and to have them 1701 01:17:16,230 --> 01:17:14,500 work together and as well as journalists 1702 01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:16,240 we want journalists to be able to use 1703 01:17:19,830 --> 01:17:18,130 this for crowdsourcing which is a which 1704 01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:19,840 is a very powerful tool that we use to 1705 01:17:24,510 --> 01:17:22,330 good effect in 2011 you know we did it 1706 01:17:26,610 --> 01:17:24,520 such a good job with the FBI came down 1707 01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:26,620 on us so these these are some of the 1708 01:17:30,690 --> 01:17:29,050 basic uses but one civic example that 1709 01:17:32,750 --> 01:17:30,700 I'll be involved in to give an example 1710 01:17:34,770 --> 01:17:32,760 of what this kind of this thing can do 1711 01:17:37,410 --> 01:17:34,780 when we're putting together a prison 1712 01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:37,420 reform project we're going to be 1713 01:17:41,700 --> 01:17:39,970 creating a information package for 1714 01:17:43,170 --> 01:17:41,710 journalists in regional markets for 1715 01:17:45,330 --> 01:17:43,180 local newspapers that kind of thing 1716 01:17:48,570 --> 01:17:45,340 local television stations and teaching 1717 01:17:51,630 --> 01:17:48,580 them how to cover prisons effectively by 1718 01:17:53,970 --> 01:17:51,640 using FOI requests or the grievance 1719 01:17:55,020 --> 01:17:53,980 forms that inmates file in prisons when 1720 01:17:56,790 --> 01:17:55,030 they want to go to court you know 1721 01:17:58,110 --> 01:17:56,800 privileged inmates aren't allowed to 1722 01:17:59,520 --> 01:17:58,120 just write to a judge and say hey I'm 1723 01:18:00,960 --> 01:17:59,530 being kept in a Cell and beaten every 1724 01:18:02,580 --> 01:18:00,970 day and they haven't told me why they 1725 01:18:06,690 --> 01:18:02,590 have to go through this process that 1726 01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:06,700 Congress laid on us back in 1996 whereby 1727 01:18:10,170 --> 01:18:08,530 the prison itself gets to oversee the 1728 01:18:12,090 --> 01:18:10,180 process so they have to say okay you've 1729 01:18:13,650 --> 01:18:12,100 turned this in on time and we're 1730 01:18:14,670 --> 01:18:13,660 definitely gonna you know put that in 1731 01:18:16,950 --> 01:18:14,680 the record and we're gonna submit it to 1732 01:18:18,450 --> 01:18:16,960 the next branch of the Bo P so on and so 1733 01:18:22,830 --> 01:18:18,460 forth all the state prisons have this 1734 01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:22,840 the federal prison has it so those as I 1735 01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:25,090 documented in my column tend not to go 1736 01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:26,650 very far you could have expected that if 1737 01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:27,610 you would thought you know if you 1738 01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:30,810 thought about you know how viable is a 1739 01:18:35,700 --> 01:18:33,010 self defense mechanism that relies on 1740 01:18:39,420 --> 01:18:35,710 your enemy to function and so we're 1741 01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:39,430 going to be working with journalists to 1742 01:18:43,740 --> 01:18:41,170 - we're gonna show them that not only 1743 01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:43,750 can they can they effectively and 1744 01:18:47,790 --> 01:18:45,970 crucially cover these prisons cover 1745 01:18:49,110 --> 01:18:47,800 what's going on in him but also do it in 1746 01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:49,120 a way that helps them and that's very 1747 01:18:51,180 --> 01:18:50,050 importantly gentle 1748 01:18:53,669 --> 01:18:51,190 a journalist's and most of their 1749 01:18:54,959 --> 01:18:53,679 careerists so we're always keen to point 1750 01:18:56,430 --> 01:18:54,969 out that this will make your job easier 1751 01:18:57,870 --> 01:18:56,440 so there's a number of projects like 1752 01:18:59,669 --> 01:18:57,880 that that are intended to like take 1753 01:19:01,859 --> 01:18:59,679 people who have these skills and want to 1754 01:19:03,660 --> 01:19:01,869 help do something and get them arrayed 1755 01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:03,670 into something where they can they can 1756 01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:05,050 decide the terms of their involvement 1757 01:19:09,569 --> 01:19:07,690 and then grow and interact with 1758 01:19:13,290 --> 01:19:09,579 something else that's broken so if you 1759 01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:13,300 think of pursuance if you think of as 1760 01:19:17,819 --> 01:19:15,610 the state or any institution as a big 1761 01:19:20,339 --> 01:19:17,829 old building that's kind of crumbling in 1762 01:19:22,770 --> 01:19:20,349 some places maybe it has cracks in the 1763 01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:22,780 foundation maybe it is a paint job you 1764 01:19:26,129 --> 01:19:24,489 don't all have to agree on what needs to 1765 01:19:27,419 --> 01:19:26,139 be done with the building ultimately in 1766 01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:27,429 order to start building scaffolding 1767 01:19:32,270 --> 01:19:29,770 around it and get together on the parts 1768 01:19:34,379 --> 01:19:32,280 that with the ones that you all agree on 1769 01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:34,389 the other thing about scaffolding is you 1770 01:19:38,700 --> 01:19:37,210 can fix nets to it so when the building 1771 01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:38,710 starts crumbling down in the future 1772 01:19:43,709 --> 01:19:41,050 bricks won't fall on people below that's 1773 01:19:47,959 --> 01:19:43,719 what pursuance is for States and it 1774 01:19:51,299 --> 01:19:47,969 could could it also I envision 1775 01:19:53,850 --> 01:19:51,309 environmental issues and and and 1776 01:19:57,479 --> 01:19:53,860 tackling that and and taking on those 1777 01:20:00,060 --> 01:19:57,489 big corporations that are messing with 1778 01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:00,070 the environment or maybe fracking or 1779 01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:03,489 maybe plant some trees and or you know 1780 01:20:07,979 --> 01:20:06,010 what I mean is there it is absolutely it 1781 01:20:10,530 --> 01:20:07,989 doesn't matter right it doesn't matter 1782 01:20:12,359 --> 01:20:10,540 it's just whatever you want to pursue it 1783 01:20:14,370 --> 01:20:12,369 is it is essentially an organizing 1784 01:20:17,129 --> 01:20:14,380 platform it's a platform for masses of 1785 01:20:19,530 --> 01:20:17,139 it collaboration it's it's it's it's 1786 01:20:21,959 --> 01:20:19,540 that we call it process democracy so all 1787 01:20:23,459 --> 01:20:21,969 the participants and participants you 1788 01:20:24,780 --> 01:20:23,469 know come in by invitation from existing 1789 01:20:25,799 --> 01:20:24,790 participants that's how it grows over 1790 01:20:28,649 --> 01:20:25,809 time and of course we're all 1791 01:20:29,850 --> 01:20:28,659 exponentially like those things do they 1792 01:20:31,530 --> 01:20:29,860 decide what they're going to work on 1793 01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:31,540 they anyone comes in to create this 1794 01:20:35,580 --> 01:20:32,770 pursuance which is this living 1795 01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:35,590 organizational chart sort of thing and 1796 01:20:38,819 --> 01:20:37,449 this ecosystem arises where all these 1797 01:20:41,339 --> 01:20:38,829 different projects are taking shape and 1798 01:20:42,689 --> 01:20:41,349 that you can see what they are to the 1799 01:20:43,919 --> 01:20:42,699 extent that they're they're visible you 1800 01:20:46,950 --> 01:20:43,929 know obviously some projects or more 1801 01:20:49,229 --> 01:20:46,960 need more security than others but it'll 1802 01:20:50,609 --> 01:20:49,239 be much easier in this ecosystem to find 1803 01:20:52,109 --> 01:20:50,619 the people that you want to work with 1804 01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:52,119 and find the people with the skills that 1805 01:20:56,399 --> 01:20:54,489 you need and offer them a position in 1806 01:20:58,260 --> 01:20:56,409 this little group you've started than it 1807 01:21:00,540 --> 01:20:58,270 is anywhere else it'll be more secure as 1808 01:21:02,010 --> 01:21:00,550 well since it's in encrypted you know 1809 01:21:03,419 --> 01:21:02,020 nothing is 1% secure but we have 1810 01:21:03,810 --> 01:21:03,429 additional layers that are just not a 1811 01:21:06,090 --> 01:21:03,820 veil 1812 01:21:08,250 --> 01:21:06,100 to people who are using slack right now 1813 01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:08,260 for these things or Facebook no right 1814 01:21:14,340 --> 01:21:11,170 Rob where can everybody go check out the 1815 01:21:19,590 --> 01:21:14,350 project right now pursuance projects or 1816 01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:19,600 gets pu r su ance project org that's 1817 01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:22,090 where you can find some diagrams kind of 1818 01:21:24,540 --> 01:21:23,290 strong what we mean by one say uh 1819 01:21:26,700 --> 01:21:24,550 pursuance it's obviously something 1820 01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:26,710 that's it's hard to explain just 1821 01:21:30,300 --> 01:21:28,930 verbally but uh you can see what we're 1822 01:21:32,220 --> 01:21:30,310 doing you can see what kind of uses you 1823 01:21:33,930 --> 01:21:32,230 can be put to you can see examples of 1824 01:21:35,940 --> 01:21:33,940 what certain organizations like 1825 01:21:37,650 --> 01:21:35,950 frontline wellness which is a nonprofit 1826 01:21:39,900 --> 01:21:37,660 that goes and provides medical training 1827 01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:39,910 in conflict resolution in conflict zones 1828 01:21:42,990 --> 01:21:41,770 around the world you can see examples 1829 01:21:44,580 --> 01:21:43,000 and kind of get a better idea of what 1830 01:21:46,980 --> 01:21:44,590 the possibilities are here but basically 1831 01:21:48,540 --> 01:21:46,990 anything you can envision as someone who 1832 01:21:50,580 --> 01:21:48,550 supports the free society if you just 1833 01:21:51,900 --> 01:21:50,590 agree to these basic principles anything 1834 01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:51,910 you envision anything you want to work 1835 01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:53,890 on the odds are that there's gonna be 1836 01:21:57,510 --> 01:21:55,570 someone working on slang similar so you 1837 01:22:00,390 --> 01:21:57,520 can join their pursuance or start your 1838 01:22:04,470 --> 01:22:00,400 own it's a it's something that's very 1839 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:04,480 very universal very scalable you know 1840 01:22:07,530 --> 01:22:05,770 ultimately this is not a content-neutral 1841 01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:07,540 system we're not trying to empower cops 1842 01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:11,770 or nazis but we are you know any anyone 1843 01:22:17,580 --> 01:22:14,530 who agrees on these basic precepts that 1844 01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:17,590 we list is welcome now you've been 1845 01:22:21,180 --> 01:22:19,570 envisioning this this isn't something 1846 01:22:23,310 --> 01:22:21,190 that just happened overnight either 1847 01:22:27,810 --> 01:22:23,320 you've been looking at the structure and 1848 01:22:30,210 --> 01:22:27,820 in applying this for how long the first 1849 01:22:32,970 --> 01:22:30,220 the first iteration of pursuance was 1850 01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:32,980 what i set up project p.m. to do in 2009 1851 01:22:36,810 --> 01:22:34,570 we had some main i had recruited a bunch 1852 01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:36,820 of people using my columns i had enough 1853 01:22:39,780 --> 01:22:38,290 composed and skeptical inquirer in 1854 01:22:42,330 --> 01:22:39,790 different places saying look i'm gonna 1855 01:22:44,010 --> 01:22:42,340 build this thing and if you're in let me 1856 01:22:45,390 --> 01:22:44,020 know my editors were horrified by this 1857 01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:45,400 because you know it seems very silly to 1858 01:22:50,010 --> 01:22:47,770 them this guy's calling for this big 1859 01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:50,020 Civic Platform cyberpunk thing that 1860 01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:52,210 whatever but I did it anyway and so we 1861 01:22:56,100 --> 01:22:53,290 got a number of people who were all very 1862 01:22:57,540 --> 01:22:56,110 sort of early adapter types oddly enough 1863 01:22:59,400 --> 01:22:57,550 my second-in-command at that point was 1864 01:23:02,550 --> 01:22:59,410 not a former IRS lawyer so it was a 1865 01:23:04,530 --> 01:23:02,560 mainstream group then I got involved 1866 01:23:06,210 --> 01:23:04,540 anonymous and because the Tunisian thing 1867 01:23:08,310 --> 01:23:06,220 was happening and then things one thing 1868 01:23:10,260 --> 01:23:08,320 led to another and that all fell by the 1869 01:23:12,300 --> 01:23:10,270 wayside but in the meantime obviously I 1870 01:23:15,030 --> 01:23:12,310 I had the opportunity to learn quite a 1871 01:23:16,950 --> 01:23:15,040 bit about both the broad lessons of 1872 01:23:17,660 --> 01:23:16,960 online organization and human 1873 01:23:19,850 --> 01:23:17,670 organization 1874 01:23:22,010 --> 01:23:19,860 in general and the little mundane things 1875 01:23:24,230 --> 01:23:22,020 that that you know you really kind of 1876 01:23:26,870 --> 01:23:24,240 pick up after a while and apply all 1877 01:23:28,430 --> 01:23:26,880 these things into this system so the 1878 01:23:31,310 --> 01:23:28,440 system we have now the way this works 1879 01:23:32,450 --> 01:23:31,320 now is far more refined than what we 1880 01:23:36,530 --> 01:23:32,460 were originally putting together but 1881 01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:36,540 even that was a it was useful enough to 1882 01:23:40,220 --> 01:23:38,730 those who saw it that we had no problem 1883 01:23:41,750 --> 01:23:40,230 recruiting for it and this this is 1884 01:23:43,490 --> 01:23:41,760 obviously vastly better which is why we 1885 01:23:46,550 --> 01:23:43,500 have a board of directors with some 1886 01:23:48,440 --> 01:23:46,560 pretty high caliber figures like 1887 01:23:49,820 --> 01:23:48,450 Birgitta jónsdóttir a member of 1888 01:23:52,270 --> 01:23:49,830 parliament from iceland who was only 1889 01:23:54,770 --> 01:23:52,280 involved of wikileaks john kerry aku who 1890 01:23:56,630 --> 01:23:54,780 blew the whistle on CIA torture and also 1891 01:23:58,820 --> 01:23:56,640 went to prison a number of college 1892 01:24:01,640 --> 01:23:58,830 professors journalists that sort of 1893 01:24:03,050 --> 01:24:01,650 thing we have we have we don't just have 1894 01:24:04,700 --> 01:24:03,060 an idea that I'm going to sit here and 1895 01:24:06,890 --> 01:24:04,710 say oh if everyone did this you know 1896 01:24:09,140 --> 01:24:06,900 it'd be great we have the means to get 1897 01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:09,150 people in and use it and that's that's 1898 01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:10,290 the important part that I always want to 1899 01:24:12,860 --> 01:24:11,610 make clear because you know they're a 1900 01:24:14,390 --> 01:24:12,870 great ideas out there there's things 1901 01:24:16,370 --> 01:24:14,400 like liquid democracy there's all kinds 1902 01:24:19,340 --> 01:24:16,380 of software platforms for organizing the 1903 01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:19,350 problem is because of just the goofiness 1904 01:24:24,860 --> 01:24:22,770 of how we prioritize what we're going to 1905 01:24:28,250 --> 01:24:24,870 do they don't get a lot of media picked 1906 01:24:30,290 --> 01:24:28,260 up so we do have this opportunity to 1907 01:24:31,700 --> 01:24:30,300 ensure that you know beyond the 1,900 1908 01:24:33,740 --> 01:24:31,710 people in organizations that have signed 1909 01:24:36,410 --> 01:24:33,750 up thus far that over the coming couple 1910 01:24:37,730 --> 01:24:36,420 years we bring in 30 40 thousand high 1911 01:24:40,190 --> 01:24:37,740 caliber people with different skills 1912 01:24:42,140 --> 01:24:40,200 different backgrounds different means of 1913 01:24:44,330 --> 01:24:42,150 acquiring information and let them work 1914 01:24:48,290 --> 01:24:44,340 out exactly what they're going to do it 1915 01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:48,300 does does this kind of thing that you 1916 01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:49,890 have gone through I don't want to be 1917 01:24:54,950 --> 01:24:51,930 loose with what I'm trying to say here 1918 01:24:57,950 --> 01:24:54,960 but I'm talking about the big picture it 1919 01:24:59,990 --> 01:24:57,960 do you feel like it's restricted your 1920 01:25:03,740 --> 01:25:00,000 opportunities out there for journalism 1921 01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:03,750 now have those calls stopped or is the 1922 01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:06,930 phone off the hook well it's both they 1923 01:25:09,500 --> 01:25:08,610 have the DOJ has made it very difficult 1924 01:25:12,710 --> 01:25:09,510 for me 1925 01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:12,720 they reached me last year when I was 1926 01:25:17,480 --> 01:25:16,830 still on a halfway house basically on 1927 01:25:19,220 --> 01:25:17,490 wood 1928 01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:19,230 I forgot the term for it wasn't on 1929 01:25:22,820 --> 01:25:21,570 probation you get had Miria rested 1930 01:25:25,220 --> 01:25:22,830 because I gave an interview to Vice 1931 01:25:26,480 --> 01:25:25,230 another one to PBS and they claimed that 1932 01:25:28,970 --> 01:25:26,490 I wasn't allowed to give interviews I 1933 01:25:30,230 --> 01:25:28,980 happen to know for a fact since I given 1934 01:25:31,610 --> 01:25:30,240 them from prison for instance over the 1935 01:25:32,780 --> 01:25:31,620 phone's number of times 1936 01:25:35,540 --> 01:25:32,790 and was familiar with the actual 1937 01:25:36,950 --> 01:25:35,550 guidebook on that for inmates but I was 1938 01:25:38,210 --> 01:25:36,960 allowed to and I told them no I'm not 1939 01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:38,220 going to get your permission to give 1940 01:25:41,990 --> 01:25:39,530 interviews and they rear ested me 1941 01:25:44,450 --> 01:25:42,000 publisher down here you're paid $11,000 1942 01:25:45,500 --> 01:25:44,460 to a law firm to threatened him let's 1943 01:25:46,820 --> 01:25:45,510 take it to court and they let me out 1944 01:25:48,830 --> 01:25:46,830 immediately 1945 01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:48,840 then they subpoenaed the intercept which 1946 01:25:53,270 --> 01:25:50,610 I used to write for they subpoenaed my 1947 01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:53,280 publishers and my agents for the book 1948 01:25:57,980 --> 01:25:54,750 that I've got that of course has a lot 1949 01:25:59,900 --> 01:25:57,990 of embarrassing DOJ material beyond 1950 01:26:01,400 --> 01:25:59,910 what's already available and they 1951 01:26:02,810 --> 01:26:01,410 subpoena subpoenaed them for all my 1952 01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:02,820 communications between them the editors 1953 01:26:07,310 --> 01:26:05,250 and also demanded that they not pay me 1954 01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:07,320 in my book advance until further notice 1955 01:26:11,090 --> 01:26:08,850 and that further notice turned out to be 1956 01:26:15,410 --> 01:26:11,100 quite further indeed so just yesterday 1957 01:26:16,700 --> 01:26:15,420 after a year I got my net my my income 1958 01:26:18,710 --> 01:26:16,710 the income I've been waiting for for a 1959 01:26:20,420 --> 01:26:18,720 year so they've definitely done what 1960 01:26:22,850 --> 01:26:20,430 they can to stymie this operation 1961 01:26:24,770 --> 01:26:22,860 quickly pursuance they they know that I 1962 01:26:27,490 --> 01:26:24,780 was planning and had already started 1963 01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:27,500 sort of self funding it from the get-go 1964 01:26:31,100 --> 01:26:29,730 and so they sort of prevented me from 1965 01:26:33,890 --> 01:26:31,110 being able to do that luckily we have 1966 01:26:35,450 --> 01:26:33,900 volunteers that care enough about this 1967 01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:35,460 that they have done this stuff with no 1968 01:26:39,110 --> 01:26:37,530 money in some cases even put in their 1969 01:26:42,310 --> 01:26:39,120 own to a better conferences and I kind 1970 01:26:44,510 --> 01:26:42,320 of think so on the other hand obviously 1971 01:26:46,340 --> 01:26:44,520 if you didn't want to good was my name 1972 01:26:48,260 --> 01:26:46,350 they're gonna see a great deal of 1973 01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:48,270 material about the things that I that I 1974 01:26:54,980 --> 01:26:51,090 call it correctly they're gonna see you 1975 01:26:56,510 --> 01:26:54,990 know that I have certain unusual 1976 01:26:59,090 --> 01:26:56,520 qualities for a journalist one of which 1977 01:27:00,620 --> 01:26:59,100 is that I that I don't just want to be a 1978 01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:00,630 journalist I don't want I don't want to 1979 01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:01,650 just have readers I want to have 1980 01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:05,250 constituents and that obviously makes it 1981 01:27:08,810 --> 01:27:07,290 easier it makes me more credible having 1982 01:27:10,070 --> 01:27:08,820 the the awards and all that that I 1983 01:27:12,650 --> 01:27:10,080 wouldn't have gotten if I wasn't I 1984 01:27:15,950 --> 01:27:12,660 hadn't been to prison that helps me with 1985 01:27:17,690 --> 01:27:15,960 mainstream people and it's kept my 1986 01:27:19,910 --> 01:27:17,700 credibility up among

01:27:28,950 another big part of it is being able to 1993 01:27:34,730 --> 01:27:32,310 get prominent figures to come out and 1994 01:27:36,110 --> 01:27:34,740 endorse it and to work on it and so

01:34:59,200 --> 01:34:56,450 a horrible little anarchist robot and 2124 01:35:00,520 --> 01:34:59,210 anytime I read a book I was thinking to 2125 01:35:03,940 --> 01:35:00,530 myself is this like I can use an 2126 01:35:06,430 --> 01:35:03,950 argument someday to win and that was a 2127 01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:06,440 sort of a fault you know this was deep 2128 01:35:10,390 --> 01:35:08,570 in my psyche it wasn't until I got to 2129 01:35:12,130 --> 01:35:10,400 prison and was at first facing the 2130 01:35:14,590 --> 01:35:12,140 prospect of 20 or 30 years when I was 2131 01:35:17,190 --> 01:35:14,600 able to sort of let myself go and enjoy 2132 01:35:21,100 --> 01:35:17,200 things like poetry 2133 01:35:23,500 --> 01:35:21,110 really yeah and in geometry and and you 2134 01:35:25,290

was 2137 01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:29,540 able to do and that's that's very much 2138 01:35:36,220 --> 01:35:32,570 enriched my life and one other one other 2139 01:35:38,260 --> 01:35:36,230 question

2181 01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:13,330 believe it's then to oversee this secure 2182 01:37:16,830 --> 01:37:14,770 drop in the drop box it was something 2183 01:37:18,060 --> 01:37:16,840 that uh I believe Aaron Schwartz was 2184 01:37:19,550 --> 01:37:18,070 involved in creating Thunder Swartz 2185 01:37:21,689 --> 01:37:19,560 reports was one of the one of the really 2186 01:37:23,970 --> 01:37:21,699 visionaries of the internet and he 2187 01:37:24,689 --> 01:37:23,980 ultimately committed suicide facing 20 2188 01:37:27,740 --> 01:37:24,699 years in prison 2189 01:37:30,450 --> 01:37:27,750 by the DOJ for having made available 2190 01:37:32,250 --> 01:37:30,460 documents from MIT it was another thing 2191 01:37:33,780 --> 01:37:32,260 we it would it would take too long to 2192 01:37:34,950 --> 01:37:33,790 really go into this but there are there 2193 01:37:36,270 --> 01:37:34,960 are organizations like the freedom of 2194 01:37:40,979 --> 01:37:36,280 the press foundation you can find online 2195 01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:40,989 and and and outlets of that nature that 2196 01:37:44,520 --> 01:37:42,250 have experience in whistleblowing and 2197 01:37:46,290 --> 01:37:44,530 you should read their guides on there 2198 01:37:48,900 --> 01:37:46,300 before you do anything before you send a 2199 01:37:51,740 --> 01:37:48,910 single email before you log on to a news 2200 01:37:54,810 --> 01:37:51,750 site that you might plan on leaking to 2201 01:37:57,060 --> 01:37:54,820 we have some examples of what not to do 2202 01:37:59,280 --> 01:37:57,070 in some of these cases I don't want to 2203 01:38:03,000 --> 01:37:59,290 go in specifics here but you can you can 2204 01:38:04,650 --> 01:38:03,010 find those you will never regret being 2205 01:38:06,450 --> 01:38:04,660 very cautious and you will never regret 2206 01:38:09,360 --> 01:38:06,460 reading a great deal of material out 2207 01:38:11,250 --> 01:38:09,370 there weighing it and looking into the 2208 01:38:13,739 --> 01:38:11,260 people writing it the figure of the 2209 01:38:17,279 --> 01:38:13,749 press foundation is probably the best 2210 01:38:19,439 --> 01:38:17,289 to start yeah all right cool anyway I 2211 01:38:22,469 --> 01:38:19,449 didn't have to escape to Russia or 2212 01:38:25,889 --> 01:38:22,479 anything like that so yeah yeah I heard 2213 01:38:27,959 --> 01:38:25,899 it thing I heard a thing about you know 2214 01:38:29,879 --> 01:38:27,969 Snowden had his deal and your while back 2215 01:38:34,469 --> 01:38:29,889 and he had some advice I guess you know 2216 01:38:36,179 --> 01:38:34,479 for people and and and he got no and but 2217 01:38:38,639 --> 01:38:36,189 unfortunately the advice was get out of 2218 01:38:41,569 --> 01:38:38,649 the country you

to even click on I don't want to see it 2230 01:39:14,249 --> 01:39:12,459 with my eyeballs I don't want to have to 2231 01:39:18,229 --> 01:39:14,259 face anything later I'm very cautious 2232 01:39:23,729 --> 01:39:18,239 about it what would you do today if 2233 01:39:27,529 --> 01:39:23,739 something was given to you that you know 2234 01:39:31,559 --> 01:39:27,539 which you maybe not only in jeopardy but 2235 01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:31,569 what would you do with that today very 2236 01:39:35,969 --> 01:39:33,489 similar the advice I would give him or 2237 01:39:37,709 --> 01:39:35,979 any any other anyone sort of outside of 2238 01:39:39,719 --> 01:39:37,719 the realm of media just the the the 2239 01:39:43,079 --> 01:39:39,729 person out there who might come across 2240 01:39:44,789 --> 01:39:43,089 something I would first you know you set 2241 01:39:47,789 --> 01:39:44,799 aside what I think I know about security 2242 01:39:49,469 --> 01:39:47,799 and immediately read some of these 2243 01:39:51,449 --> 01:39:49,479 guides and had written by groups like 2244 01:39:52,919 --> 01:39:51,459 the for no depressed foundation before I 2245 01:39:55,079 --> 01:39:52,929 made a single move before I made a phone 2246 01:39:56,879 --> 01:39:55,089 call even on you know why or signal or 2247 01:40:00,119 --> 01:39:56,889 one of these in decrypted deals I would 2248 01:40:02,429 --> 01:40:00,129 first make sure that I have the best 2249 01:40:05,129 --> 01:40:02,439 chance of having thought about all of 2250 01:40:06,929 --> 01:40:05,139 those things that the FBI and NSA have 2251 01:40:08,519 --> 01:40:06,939 had decades to think about in terms of 2252 01:40:11,009 --> 01:40:08,529 how to catch whistleblowers there is 2253 01:40:12,359 --> 01:40:11,019 software one of the things that we came 2254 01:40:14,369 --> 01:40:12,369 across one that one of the times what I 2255 01:40:16,499 --> 01:40:14,379 did have an informants that worked out 2256 01:40:17,999 --> 01:40:16,509 real well when I was provided 2257 01:40:19,499 --> 01:40:18,009 information about Raytheon there was a 2258 01:40:21,779 --> 01:40:19,509 project they were working on and they're 2259 01:40:23,639 --> 01:40:21,789 not alone in this software by which to 2260 01:40:25,979 --> 01:40:23,649 detect whistleblowers by looking at 2261 01:40:27,660 --> 01:40:25,989 their online habits that sort of thing 2262 01:40:30,390 --> 01:40:27,670 that kind of thing 2263 01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:30,400 as with so much else there is software 2264 01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:32,290 and technology and methodology it is 2265 01:40:36,930 --> 01:40:35,170 kind of hard to hard for a skeptical 2266 01:40:39,330 --> 01:40:36,940 persons who believe in it first but 2267 01:40:41,939 --> 01:40:39,340 that's usually because if you're not a 2268 01:40:44,310 --> 01:40:41,949 specialist in psychology or or in 2269 01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:44,320 forensics or in the intelligence 2270 01:40:47,100 --> 01:40:45,850 community there's a great deal that's 2271 01:40:51,630 --> 01:40:47,110 just not going to be obvious to you and 2272 01:40:53,189 --> 01:40:51,640 so you know I'll always be aware of you 2273 01:40:54,979 --> 01:40:53,199 know the we came across some very 2274 01:40:57,120 --> 01:40:54,989 extraordinary and disturbing programs 2275 01:40:59,100 --> 01:40:57,130 during our investigations like persona 2276 01:41:01,470 --> 01:40:59,110 Management which creates fake online 2277 01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:01,480 people and uses them for propaganda and 2278 01:41:06,419 --> 01:41:04,449 to manufacture events there's a lot of 2279 01:41:08,459 --> 01:41:06,429 things that you know an objectively you 2280 01:41:10,610 --> 01:41:08,469 know neutrally impressed us with how 2281 01:41:12,810 --> 01:41:10,620 powerful and dangerous they were and 2282 01:41:15,060 --> 01:41:12,820 even putting them out even putting that 2283 01:41:17,459 --> 01:41:15,070 stuff out didn't necessarily get 2284 01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:17,469 everyone's attention and so there are a 2285 01:41:21,150 --> 01:41:19,090 lot of journalists themselves who don't 2286 01:41:24,810 --> 01:41:21,160 necessarily know what to do if they get 2287 01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:24,820 very sensitive information the the 2288 01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:28,449 community the the hacker community when 2289 01:41:35,550 --> 01:41:31,810 I went to the Hope conference in New 2290 01:41:40,290 --> 01:41:35,560 York now bear in mind I went out there 2291 01:41:42,510 --> 01:41:40,300 to I was filming my TV show right and I 2292 01:41:45,479 --> 01:41:42,520 went out there to not only attend the 2293 01:41:49,709 --> 01:41:45,489 hacker conference which we had all of 2294 01:41:52,250 --> 01:41:49,719 the the paperwork and everything to film 2295 01:41:56,610 --> 01:41:52,260 in New York and and clearance through 2296 01:41:59,280 --> 01:41:56,620 hope itself and and that those 2297 01:42:03,660 --> 01:41:59,290 credentials but I was there for Gregg 2298 01:42:08,189 --> 01:42:03,670 Housh and Gabriela Coleman amongst 2299 01:42:10,890 --> 01:42:08,199 others but what I didn't I thought that 2300 01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:10,900 the community would take a look at me 2301 01:42:19,020 --> 01:42:14,530 and go okay cool he's here to tell our 2302 01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:19,030 story it was the exact opposite I there 2303 01:42:24,419 --> 01:42:21,370 was a moment there you can imagine 2304 01:42:26,939 --> 01:42:24,429 Barrett where I brought up your name 2305 01:42:32,669 --> 01:42:26,949 a couple of times to get people's 2306 01:42:36,090 --> 01:42:32,679 opinion and and was poking and I felt 2307 01:42:39,180 --> 01:42:36,100 like I was lucky to be alive they 2308 01:42:41,489 --> 01:42:39,190 protect themselves they protect their 2309 01:42:45,029 --> 01:42:41,499 own and I was there too 2310 01:42:48,089 --> 01:42:45,039 tell the story they wanted nothing to do 2311 01:42:49,770 --> 01:42:48,099 with me some of these people especially 2312 01:42:54,719 --> 01:42:49,780 the ones that we've had to rely on here 2313 01:42:57,959 --> 01:42:54,729 and there who are hackers are not fun to 2314 01:43:00,560 --> 01:42:57,969 work with and have you know sometimes 2315 01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:00,570 believe that their knowledge of networks 2316 01:43:07,020 --> 01:43:02,650 translates into other things that it 2317 01:43:09,450 --> 01:43:07,030 just doesn't and so there is over over 2318 01:43:11,069 --> 01:43:09,460 cautiousness in some respects and under 2319 01:43:11,939 --> 01:43:11,079 cautiousness and others there's also a 2320 01:43:14,399 --> 01:43:11,949 lot of play-acting 2321 01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:14,409 it's very common among activism people 2322 01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:15,690 like to think that they're under more 2323 01:43:20,069 --> 01:43:17,650 scrutiny for the things they're doing 2324 01:43:22,259 --> 01:43:20,079 than they are and of course we know 2325 01:43:24,540 --> 01:43:22,269 they're under a lot done potentially is 2326 01:43:26,310 --> 01:43:24,550 the extent they do anything but there's 2327 01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:26,320 also a lot of what we might call the the 2328 01:43:30,569 --> 01:43:28,650 activist version of security theater and 2329 01:43:32,160 --> 01:43:30,579 that's and that's fun that makes it 2330 01:43:33,450 --> 01:43:32,170 makes it makes it harder to do the 2331 01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:33,460 things they're trying to do because they 2332 01:43:35,669 --> 01:43:34,570 don't really address that and think 2333 01:43:37,350 --> 01:43:35,679 think those things through I'm not 2334 01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:37,360 surprised that you've had a bad 2335 01:43:41,850 --> 01:43:40,090 experience trying to get these some of 2336 01:43:43,589 --> 01:43:41,860 these people to tell useful information 2337 01:43:45,899 --> 01:43:43,599 to others not all of them are in favor 2338 01:43:47,850 --> 01:43:45,909 of that not all of them are transparency 2339 01:43:50,339 --> 01:43:47,860 types some of them are just sort of 2340 01:43:52,680 --> 01:43:50,349 another it's another elite cadre of 2341 01:43:57,180 --> 01:43:52,690 people who were just there to be elite 2342 01:44:00,299 --> 01:43:57,190 well and and eventually I it took me a 2343 01:44:02,790 --> 01:44:00,309 couple of days I broke down some of 2344 01:44:05,729 --> 01:44:02,800 those barriers and I've got some of them 2345 01:44:07,890 --> 01:44:05,739 to open up and I'll tell you I I got on 2346 01:44:10,200 --> 01:44:07,900 one of the elevators and I've got you 2347 01:44:12,509 --> 01:44:10,210 know my producers with me and and a 2348 01:44:16,379 --> 01:44:12,519 director and a sound guy and a couple of 2349 01:44:17,729 --> 01:44:16,389 camp you know I had like 12 people you 2350 01:44:20,310 --> 01:44:17,739 know that were part of my production 2351 01:44:22,020 --> 01:44:20,320 team so it's big and it's obvious as you 2352 01:44:23,819 --> 01:44:22,030 can imagine right we stand out like a 2353 01:44:27,149 --> 01:44:23,829 sore thumb we get on one of the 2354 01:44:30,660 --> 01:44:27,159 elevators we're going up to the top 2355 01:44:34,649 --> 01:44:30,670 floor there and one of the guys on the 2356 01:44:37,020 --> 01:44:34,659 elevator and attendee says to me so who 2357 01:44:39,930 --> 01:44:37,030 are you and I tell him I said I'm here I 2358 01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:39,940 do this this and this and I'm here with 2359 01:44:47,339 --> 01:44:44,650 the History Channel a knee and and he 2360 01:44:48,509 --> 01:44:47,349 looked at me and said you are out of 2361 01:44:51,239 --> 01:44:48,519 your mind 2362 01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:51,249 do not talk to me don't talk to me don't 2363 01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:54,130 and I said but but and he 2364 01:44:59,700 --> 01:44:56,890 he said do not talk to me and the 2365 01:45:01,830 --> 01:44:59,710 elevator doors open and he took off it 2366 01:45:04,140 --> 01:45:01,840 was and I thought okay here we go this 2367 01:45:06,900 --> 01:45:04,150 is actually what this is gonna be like 2368 01:45:10,890 --> 01:45:06,910 and it was it was a rough road man 2369 01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:10,900 we were we were alienated I mean we were 2370 01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:15,850 forced off into a corner and were what's 2371 01:45:21,810 --> 01:45:19,810 the word shunned you know well yeah and 2372 01:45:23,790 --> 01:45:21,820 I should I should I should I should note 2373 01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:23,800 that you know my assessment I gave you 2374 01:45:28,440 --> 01:45:26,650 minutes earlier in some cases like with 2375 01:45:31,500 --> 01:45:28,450 documentary film crews that that is an 2376 01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:31,510 attack that the FBI has used they used 2377 01:45:35,970 --> 01:45:32,650 it for instance type Lincoln in the 2378 01:45:37,860 --> 01:45:35,980 bundy affair you know faking of a 2379 01:45:39,330 --> 01:45:37,870 documentary production so it's possible 2380 01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:39,340 that someone said oh this must be 2381 01:45:42,420 --> 01:45:40,930 another FBI thing it's possible they're 2382 01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:42,430 just they're just nuts Andrew that's 2383 01:45:46,530 --> 01:45:44,770 also very very very it's a real 2384 01:45:48,060 --> 01:45:46,540 possibility we have to explore but uh 2385 01:45:49,860 --> 01:45:48,070 you know that there's there's there's 2386 01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:49,870 very good reasons sometimes for them to 2387 01:45:53,490 --> 01:45:51,250 be cautious in sometimes there's not so 2388 01:45:56,910 --> 01:45:53,500 good reasons but things like things like 2389 01:45:59,400 --> 01:45:56,920 hope things like death Don even the ones 2390 01:46:01,590 --> 01:45:59,410 who there aren't there as intelligence 2391 01:46:03,990 --> 01:46:01,600 agency there to recruit there is a great 2392 01:46:05,490 --> 01:46:04,000 deal of informants in that community 2393 01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:05,500 special especially hackers I've seen 2394 01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:07,090 estimates that I don't think he can 2395 01:46:09,930 --> 01:46:08,530 really ever come to a really useful 2396 01:46:12,270 --> 01:46:09,940 estimate but I've seen estimates that 2397 01:46:14,160 --> 01:46:12,280 strike me as as true 2398 01:46:16,170 --> 01:46:14,170 based on my experience that you know 2399 01:46:18,510 --> 01:46:16,180 some quarter of the people you might 2400 01:46:19,800 --> 01:46:18,520 term hackers criminal hackers are 2401 01:46:22,950 --> 01:46:19,810 associated with the government in some 2402 01:46:24,810 --> 01:46:22,960 secret capacity now that's it matters 2403 01:46:26,550 --> 01:46:24,820 with the definition itself obviously is 2404 01:46:27,750 --> 01:46:26,560 a big factor there but the bottom line 2405 01:46:29,340 --> 01:46:27,760 is that this is a community that's 2406 01:46:30,570 --> 01:46:29,350 fraught through with paranoia and that 2407 01:46:33,060 --> 01:46:30,580 obviously hasn't gotten better in the 2408 01:46:36,090 --> 01:46:33,070 past five or six years yeah you know the 2409 01:46:38,640 --> 01:46:36,100 the famous game right spot the Fed you 2410 01:46:41,010 --> 01:46:38,650 know and getting that t-shirt is a badge 2411 01:46:42,630 --> 01:46:41,020 of honor we'll talk about that in just a 2412 01:46:44,010 --> 01:46:42,640 bit let's go back to the phones hi 2413 01:46:47,430 --> 01:46:44,020 you're live on fade to black say hi to 2414 01:46:50,220 --> 01:46:47,440 bear brown who's calling oh this is 2415 01:46:53,580 --> 01:46:50,230 Casper parks first thank you for 2416 01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:53,590 everything you've done I recall back in 2417 01:46:59,640 --> 01:46:56,650 the day when you know the half Stratford 2418 01:47:01,890 --> 01:46:59,650 in trapwire popped up which was a mass 2419 01:47:04,260 --> 01:47:01,900 surveillance with cameras and we look 2420 01:47:07,459 --> 01:47:04,270 now what's going on in China with that 2421 01:47:09,580 --> 01:47:07,469 and was what Amazon was 2422 01:47:12,250 --> 01:47:09,590 we're in law enforcement is doing and 2423 01:47:14,540 --> 01:47:12,260 Florida so we're risking that come to 2424 01:47:17,810 --> 01:47:14,550 patrician yells come coming out to be 2425 01:47:19,339 --> 01:47:17,820 armed as you see if you had any if you 2426 01:47:22,339 --> 01:47:19,349 think I was gonna get a lot worse now as 2427 01:47:24,290 --> 01:47:22,349 as we go forward certainly in large part 2428 01:47:27,140 --> 01:47:24,300 because but that's with that trap our 2429 01:47:29,750 --> 01:47:27,150 situation in particular the press was 2430 01:47:32,029 --> 01:47:29,760 not able to assess that in a reasonable 2431 01:47:33,410 --> 01:47:32,039 way as in that came out of the Stratfor 2432 01:47:35,089 --> 01:47:33,420 emails at some point there was a couple 2433 01:47:36,830 --> 01:47:35,099 of articles one of the articles that was 2434 01:47:39,620 --> 01:47:36,840 in The New York Times and they quoted 2435 01:47:42,109 --> 01:47:39,630 two people one was a unnamed homeland 2436 01:47:43,969 --> 01:47:42,119 security staffer who said oh it's not a 2437 01:47:45,770 --> 01:47:43,979 big deal I mean basically said that and 2438 01:47:48,109 --> 01:47:45,780 the other one was a guy with the ACLU 2439 01:47:51,620 --> 01:47:48,119 who I don't think really understood what 2440 01:47:52,879 --> 01:47:51,630 was being asked of him and so that tone 2441 01:47:55,219 --> 01:47:52,889 was said early on and you had people 2442 01:47:57,520 --> 01:47:55,229 like Adrienne chin at Gawker back then 2443 01:47:59,419 --> 01:47:57,530 who's always been kind of a goofy fellow 2444 01:48:00,529 --> 01:47:59,429 you know just saying oh this is boring 2445 01:48:02,959 --> 01:48:00,539 this is nothing which he says about 2446 01:48:04,399 --> 01:48:02,969 everything obviously now we know and 2447 01:48:05,569 --> 01:48:04,409 that was my big problem back then with 2448 01:48:07,040 --> 01:48:05,579 that particular issue this is right 2449 01:48:09,379 --> 01:48:07,050 before I went to prison I was talking a 2450 01:48:11,330 --> 01:48:09,389 lot about how how badly that had been 2451 01:48:13,009 --> 01:48:11,340 bashed because obviously facial 2452 01:48:14,299 --> 01:48:13,019 recognition it's not something really 2453 01:48:16,660 --> 01:48:14,309 exotic it's something we've thought 2454 01:48:18,739 --> 01:48:16,670 about envisioned for years and years 2455 01:48:20,299 --> 01:48:18,749 yeah and it wasn't something interested 2456 01:48:22,009 --> 01:48:20,309 in me in particular compare some of 2457 01:48:23,299 --> 01:48:22,019 these other things involving propaganda 2458 01:48:26,419 --> 01:48:23,309 and disinformation that I'm much more 2459 01:48:27,799 --> 01:48:26,429 interested in but it was definitely a it 2460 01:48:30,020 --> 01:48:27,809 was definitely something to look into 2461 01:48:32,089 --> 01:48:30,030 and obviously the you go back and look 2462 01:48:34,040 --> 01:48:32,099 at articles back then sort of mocking 2463 01:48:35,479 --> 01:48:34,050 those who are worried about it well 2464 01:48:39,379 --> 01:48:35,489 that's just one more thing in which I 2465 01:48:40,339 --> 01:48:39,389 think the we were right that that's 2466 01:48:42,890 --> 01:48:40,349 something that was going to come into 2467 01:48:44,390 --> 01:48:42,900 play very soon it's already being used a 2468 01:48:45,859 --> 01:48:44,400 number of places I mean the tread the 2469 01:48:48,459 --> 01:48:45,869 tripod thing itself is being used in the 2470 01:48:52,399 --> 01:48:48,469 US the company that wrote that 2471 01:48:54,469 --> 01:48:52,409 essentially overseas that is cubic which 2472 01:48:55,819 --> 01:48:54,479 is a huge firm that even a lot of 2473 01:48:58,129 --> 01:48:55,829 security people haven't heard of a lot 2474 01:49:00,259 --> 01:48:58,139 of security journalists which also 2475 01:49:01,939 --> 01:49:00,269 oversaw like there are always subsidiary 2476 01:49:03,919 --> 01:49:01,949 companies that they hide their 2477 01:49:06,200 --> 01:49:03,929 relationship to oftentimes successfully 2478 01:49:08,750 --> 01:49:06,210 except when when we find the tax filings 2479 01:49:10,310 --> 01:49:08,760 that prove they own them they were the 2480 01:49:11,870 --> 01:49:10,320 ones that won the SEC comp contract for 2481 01:49:14,509 --> 01:49:11,880 persona Management something I alluded 2482 01:49:18,100 --> 01:49:14,519 to earlier it's the online fake people 2483 01:49:20,629 --> 01:49:18,110 you can read about out there there are 2484 01:49:21,020 --> 01:49:20,639 that's the other big issue here and 2485 01:49:23,210 --> 01:49:21,030 that's 2486 01:49:26,030 --> 01:49:23,220 even when you find these secrets even 2487 01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:26,040 when you are already a journalist and 2488 01:49:30,230 --> 01:49:28,410 are known for investigating these issues 2489 01:49:32,540 --> 01:49:30,240 and have been successful in them it's 2490 01:49:33,890 --> 01:49:32,550 still hard to get editors and producers 2491 01:49:36,740 --> 01:49:33,900 who don't really care we don't 2492 01:49:38,780 --> 01:49:36,750 understand it to see the big picture and 2493 01:49:40,490 --> 01:49:38,790 so getting getting that information is 2494 01:49:42,280 --> 01:49:40,500 half the battle the other half is 2495 01:49:45,530 --> 01:49:42,290 getting the press to do its job 2496 01:49:49,190 --> 01:49:45,540 III want to jump in Casper is still on 2497 01:49:51,820 --> 01:49:49,200 the line and another question okay well 2498 01:49:54,830 --> 01:49:51,830 I wanted to let Barrett know that 2499 01:49:56,960 --> 01:49:54,840 Casper's an author and a great author by 2500 01:49:58,190 --> 01:49:56,970 the way and you should check out some of 2501 01:50:01,370 --> 01:49:58,200 the stuff I'll send you his books 2502 01:50:04,580 --> 01:50:01,380 Barrett but what I wanted I wanted to 2503 01:50:08,330 --> 01:50:04,590 ask a question and have Caspar hear the 2504 01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:08,340 answer Barrett your your writing style 2505 01:50:17,630 --> 01:50:13,410 is something that is for me very fluid 2506 01:50:19,850 --> 01:50:17,640 and is it something that is it your 2507 01:50:20,780 --> 01:50:19,860 brain directly connected to your 2508 01:50:23,510 --> 01:50:20,790 fingertips 2509 01:50:25,400 --> 01:50:23,520 is it very is it fluid I mean is it just 2510 01:50:29,060 --> 01:50:25,410 flow out of you or do you have to work 2511 01:50:30,950 --> 01:50:29,070 at it well I started writing I had some 2512 01:50:33,380 --> 01:50:30,960 internships at newspapers when I was 15 2513 01:50:35,270 --> 01:50:33,390 and 16 in Mexico and Dallas and then got 2514 01:50:38,150 --> 01:50:35,280 some freelance gigs by the time that I 2515 01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:38,160 got to University of Texas and I quickly 2516 01:50:42,680 --> 01:50:41,250 I quit I got a grunting job for AOL and 2517 01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:42,690 so for them back in this back in the 2518 01:50:45,320 --> 01:50:44,130 tooth back in 2000 when there was all 2519 01:50:47,120 --> 01:50:45,330 this money to be thrown around for 2520 01:50:49,070 --> 01:50:47,130 online contents and then that tried up 2521 01:50:50,840 --> 01:50:49,080 for a while I was writing about women's 2522 01:50:52,550 --> 01:50:50,850 shoe stores I was writing about 30 2523 01:50:54,140 --> 01:50:52,560 different tex-mex restaurants in Austin 2524 01:50:56,600 --> 01:50:54,150 and having to differentiate each one I 2525 01:50:58,540 --> 01:50:56,610 was writing 40,000 words on the band's 2526 01:51:00,170 --> 01:50:58,550 at South by Southwest and I had no idea 2527 01:51:03,350 --> 01:51:00,180 what they sounded like 2528 01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:03,360 and so that was that was worse than 2529 01:51:08,390 --> 01:51:06,570 prison you know it's something you did 2530 01:51:10,040 --> 01:51:08,400 something that you develop you know just 2531 01:51:12,500 --> 01:51:10,050 like with riding a bicycle or becoming a 2532 01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:12,510 ninja or anything or anything else it's 2533 01:51:16,490 --> 01:51:14,010 just something that is now ingrained 2534 01:51:19,430 --> 01:51:16,500 into my neurons I suppose yeah because 2535 01:51:22,490 --> 01:51:19,440 it sounds exactly like you speak or it 2536 01:51:23,300 --> 01:51:22,500 did no it reads like you speak it's the 2537 01:51:26,660 --> 01:51:23,310 wrong way to put it 2538 01:51:30,290 --> 01:51:26,670 Kaspar you had one more question right I 2539 01:51:33,470 --> 01:51:30,300 I know that no harm had I think it was a 2540 01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:33,480 twin brother was in a rock band security 2541 01:51:38,390 --> 01:51:34,890 I heard the band was doing a few 2542 01:51:41,450 --> 01:51:38,400 about that and when Harmon had his or 2543 01:51:43,550 --> 01:51:41,460 had this trial er the question about the 2544 01:51:47,870 --> 01:51:43,560 judges fall says some kind of financial 2545 01:51:50,450 --> 01:51:47,880 time to Stratford and oh yes a new judge 2546 01:51:53,840 --> 01:51:50,460 in that or not I'm not familiar with the 2547 01:51:55,970 --> 01:51:53,850 twin beau thing there it was pointed out 2548 01:51:57,410 --> 01:51:55,980 in fact Kevin Gallagher who runs who is 2549 01:51:58,880 --> 01:51:57,420 from scratch built this whole free 2550 01:52:00,590 --> 01:51:58,890 Barrett Brown apparatus when after I was 2551 01:52:01,970 --> 01:52:00,600 arrested and managed to raise all this 2552 01:52:04,430 --> 01:52:01,980 money for my legal defense and managed 2553 01:52:08,120 --> 01:52:04,440 to sort of lobby the press and get them 2554 01:52:10,580 --> 01:52:08,130 to pay attention he he or someone else 2555 01:52:13,730 --> 01:52:10,590 noted and publicized the fact that Judge 2556 01:52:16,070 --> 01:52:13,740 Sam Lindsay's wife was on the board of 2557 01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:16,080 directors of one of these firms I can't 2558 01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:18,690 read which one but there was an arguable 2559 01:52:25,730 --> 01:52:22,050 conflict of interest that he I would say 2560 01:52:27,260 --> 01:52:25,740 you know if that is illicit if that is 2561 01:52:28,490 --> 01:52:27,270 something that rises to the level of he 2562 01:52:30,620 --> 01:52:28,500 should recuse himself which I don't 2563 01:52:31,670 --> 01:52:30,630 really have a strong opinion on it paled 2564 01:52:32,930 --> 01:52:31,680 in comparison to other things that 2565 01:52:34,310 --> 01:52:32,940 happened or in that case I mean the 2566 01:52:36,500 --> 01:52:34,320 Declaration of Independence was seized 2567 01:52:37,970 --> 01:52:36,510 from my apartment as evidence of a crime 2568 01:52:40,220 --> 01:52:37,980 I made sure to note that in my 2569 01:52:41,330 --> 01:52:40,230 sentencing hearing you know so he 2570 01:52:43,190 --> 01:52:41,340 eventually ordered you gotta

I wanted to go back I've got like two 2588 01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:21,480 minutes but he brought up Aaron Schwartz 2589 01:53:31,340 --> 01:53:26,930 and again just just a tragic story 2590 01:53:35,240 --> 01:53:31,350 beyond words but most people today 2591 01:53:37,040 --> 01:53:35,250 because of the timing of everything and 2592 01:53:39,470 --> 01:53:37,050 how it went down they don't know the 2593 01:53:43,010 --> 01:53:39,480 Aaron Schwartz story or his impact on 2594 01:53:45,980 --> 01:53:43,020 the internet and his talent his talent 2595 01:53:48,410 --> 01:53:45,990 was beyond measure and when you think 2596 01:53:53,180 --> 01:53:48,420 about RSS and the other things 2597 01:53:56,090 --> 01:53:53,190 he was not only fundamental in but they 2598 01:54:00,110 --> 01:53:56,100 they killed him you know and they 2599 01:54:02,570 --> 01:54:00,120 literally ruined a 26 year old young man 2600 01:54:04,250 --> 01:54:02,580 that was one of the most talented period 2601 01:54:07,400 --> 01:54:04,260 and responsible for what we are doing 2602 01:54:11,090 --> 01:54:07,410 today on the Internet Aaron Swartz his 2603 01:54:12,919 --> 01:54:11,100 vision was expansive and you know I 2604 01:54:14,600 --> 01:54:12,929 spoke Aaron Schwartz day last year 2605 01:54:16,729 --> 01:54:14,610 that's actually where we unveiled part 2606 01:54:18,110 --> 01:54:16,739 of the pursuance project and we'll be 2607 01:54:19,370 --> 01:54:18,120 speaking again next year and they've 2608 01:54:21,770 --> 01:54:19,380 actually been very heavily involved in 2609 01:54:26,240 --> 01:54:21,780 this Kickstarter we have going on that 2610 01:54:28,580 --> 01:54:26,250 ends in three days by the way we're 2611 01:54:30,140 --> 01:54:28,590 trying to finish something that should 2612 01:54:33,530 --> 01:54:30,150 have happened already by building this 2613 01:54:35,030 --> 01:54:33,540 network he had he had very is you know 2614 01:54:36,709 --> 01:54:35,040 he was a specialist he was a technology 2615 01:54:38,720 --> 01:54:36,719 specialist and so some of his stuff is 2616 01:54:40,189 --> 01:54:38,730 beyond my purview but in the broad in 2617 01:54:43,610 --> 01:54:40,199 the main and I met him a couple times 2618 01:54:45,500 --> 01:54:43,620 online when he was gonna do some FOI 2619 01:54:47,810 --> 01:54:45,510 requests on that persona management 2620 01:54:48,979 --> 01:54:47,820 apparatus we were looking into and just 2621 01:54:50,270 --> 01:54:48,989 didn't really know much about him back 2622 01:54:52,490 --> 01:54:50,280 then it wasn't until he killed himself 2623 01:54:54,830 --> 01:54:52,500 and I was already in prison that I 2624 01:54:56,570 --> 01:54:54,840 learned who it was I've been talking to 2625 01:54:59,560 --> 01:54:56,580 and what this guy was capable of and 2626 01:55:04,970 --> 01:54:59,570 what we kind of lost thanks to the DOJ 2627 01:55:06,770 --> 01:55:04,980 it's an unbelievable story and okay 2628 01:55:10,700 --> 01:55:06,780 we're gonna take a break right here I 2629 01:55:14,840 --> 01:55:10,710 mean I when it comes this is the this is 2630 01:55:17,810 --> 01:55:14,850 what really disturbs me bear it when you 2631 01:55:21,350 --> 01:55:17,820 look at all of these individuals you 2632 01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:21,360 being one of course but how these lives 2633 01:55:28,520 --> 01:55:26,250 were were affected and and in some cases 2634 01:55:30,680 --> 01:55:28,530 tragically like Aaron who ended up 2635 01:55:33,169 --> 01:55:30,690 committing suicide because of these 2636 01:55:36,050 --> 01:55:33,179 threats of you know a million years in 2637 01:55:38,060 --> 01:55:36,060 in jail and millions of dollars in fines 2638 01:55:42,830 --> 01:55:38,070 and your parents and your reputation and 2639 01:55:44,540 --> 01:55:42,840 your family all over the internet and 2640 01:55:46,939 --> 01:55:44,550 and about the internet and about 2641 01:55:50,330 --> 01:55:46,949 decentralization and about being an 2642 01:55:52,459 --> 01:55:50,340 activist and that I think is is one of 2643 01:55:56,600 --> 01:55:52,469 the most saddest parts about all of all 2644 01:56:00,439 --> 01:55:56,610 of this for me personally it's important 2645 01:56:02,330 --> 01:56:00,449 to us that a portion of his vision be 2646 01:56:03,379 --> 01:56:02,340 realized in this project and that's 2647 01:56:07,010 --> 01:56:03,389 why you know with a lot of his 2648 01:56:08,209 --> 01:56:07,020 associates are involved here it's 2649 01:56:09,260 --> 01:56:08,219 important to a lot of people obviously 2650 01:56:10,820 --> 01:56:09,270 the more when you there's some 2651 01:56:12,109 --> 01:56:10,830 documentaries now about him so he'd so 2652 01:56:14,089 --> 01:56:12,119 hopefully he's gotten some wider 2653 01:56:16,010 --> 01:56:14,099 recognition not just for having been 2654 01:56:18,200 --> 01:56:16,020 someone who was unfairly targeted but 2655 01:56:22,450 --> 01:56:18,210 for someone who in being unfairly 2656 01:56:25,160 --> 01:56:22,460 targeted the the world lost out by that 2657 01:56:30,919 --> 01:56:25,170 and that's something that I think over 2658 01:56:34,399 --> 01:56:30,929 time he's going to be remembered as a 2659 01:56:36,950 --> 01:56:34,409 very pressured fellow who you know had 2660 01:56:39,589 --> 01:56:36,960 great potentials at the state as it has 2661 01:56:42,740 --> 01:56:39,599 it has throughout history crushed yeah 2662 01:56:46,580 --> 01:56:42,750 and every time you see RSS feed

Brown my question for you is do 2785 02:02:38,509 --> 02:02:37,050 you feel that there is actually still a 2786 02:02:43,040 --> 02:02:38,519 Fourth Estate that's actually 2787 02:02:45,160 --> 02:02:43,050 functioning in this admittedly 2788 02:02:49,310 --> 02:02:45,170 dysfunctional government 2789 02:02:51,500 --> 02:02:49,320 well it's question absolutely to some 2790 02:02:53,540 --> 02:02:51,510 extent I mean there's still things being 2791 02:02:55,100 --> 02:02:53,550 properly done here and there there are 2792 02:02:57,319 --> 02:02:55,110 good journalists who know what they're 2793 02:03:00,410 --> 02:02:57,329 doing some of them are younger some of 2794 02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:00,420 them have old school you know people 2795 02:03:03,169 --> 02:03:01,530 who've been around awhile and if have 2796 02:03:04,819 --> 02:03:03,179 developed talents for investigative 2797 02:03:06,890 --> 02:03:04,829 journalism I've seen it happen I've 2798 02:03:10,759 --> 02:03:06,900 worked with many of them but on the 2799 02:03:12,799 --> 02:03:10,769 whole it is not up to the task of 2800 02:03:15,049 --> 02:03:12,809 serving as our central nervous system 2801 02:03:17,689 --> 02:03:15,059 for a complex 21st century Imperial 2802 02:03:19,009 --> 02:03:17,699 Republic it's just not and that should 2803 02:03:20,839 --> 02:03:19,019 be of concern to anyone whether or not 2804 02:03:22,009 --> 02:03:20,849 you support the Imperial Republic 2805 02:03:24,709 --> 02:03:22,019 whether you know we're ghosts of how you 2806 02:03:27,649 --> 02:03:24,719 think about the u.s. it is not a good 2807 02:03:29,239 --> 02:03:27,659 thing to have a media infrastructure 2808 02:03:34,339 --> 02:03:29,249 that I think still thinks pretty highly 2809 02:03:36,270 --> 02:03:34,349 of itself by all things because to the 2810 02:03:38,400 --> 02:03:36,280 extent that they are worthwhile 2811 02:03:40,110 --> 02:03:38,410 they are to some extent when they get 2812 02:03:41,490 --> 02:03:40,120 things wrong and don't and don't deal 2813 02:03:43,590 --> 02:03:41,500 with those things and that this is one 2814 02:03:45,300 --> 02:03:43,600 of my main focuses before I got involved 2815 02:03:47,760 --> 02:03:45,310 Anonymous was immediate media criticism 2816 02:03:50,670 --> 02:03:47,770 that was my profession essentially and 2817 02:03:52,710 --> 02:03:50,680 it's still kind of is there is there is 2818 02:03:54,090 --> 02:03:52,720 no negative feedback for the most part 2819 02:03:55,620 --> 02:03:54,100 in the system as then you can be a 2820 02:03:56,490 --> 02:03:55,630 columnist like Thomas Friedman or 2821 02:03:59,130 --> 02:03:56,500 Charles Krauthammer 2822 02:04:00,860 --> 02:03:59,140 and you can if you if you go back and 2823 02:04:03,300 --> 02:04:00,870 read their output in the last 15 years 2824 02:04:05,280 --> 02:04:03,310 20 years even you'll notice that they 2825 02:04:07,590 --> 02:04:05,290 tend to get their predictions absolutely 2826 02:04:09,480 --> 02:04:07,600 wrong and they get away with it because 2827 02:04:11,670 --> 02:04:09,490 first one thing people rarely go back 2828 02:04:13,830 --> 02:04:11,680 and read old columns by these Pulitzer 2829 02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:13,840 Prize winners and second of all the 2830 02:04:16,770 --> 02:04:15,010 people at Washington Post in new york 2831 02:04:18,950 --> 02:04:16,780 times don't necessarily care these are 2832 02:04:21,270 --> 02:04:18,960 celebrity colonists they have a name 2833 02:04:23,640 --> 02:04:21,280 their output the action whether or not 2834 02:04:26,130 --> 02:04:23,650 it affects us for better or good is 2835 02:04:27,300 --> 02:04:26,140 decided beside the point to them and 2836 02:04:28,740 --> 02:04:27,310 most of them don't have any idea they 2837 02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:28,750 don't they don't know one way the other 2838 02:04:31,530 --> 02:04:29,890 if these are valuable calm with 2839 02:04:34,650 --> 02:04:31,540 colonists if they were wrong about every 2840 02:04:36,810 --> 02:04:34,660 single war in the past 20 years even 2841 02:04:39,060 --> 02:04:36,820 down to the specifics in some cases and 2842 02:04:42,150 --> 02:04:39,070 are still considered by other big 2843 02:04:43,920 --> 02:04:42,160 mainstream colonists as military experts 2844 02:04:46,350 --> 02:04:43,930 for instance so any other industry that 2845 02:04:48,600 --> 02:04:46,360 works like that would fail the media is 2846 02:04:53,280 --> 02:04:48,610 able to kind of fail without it being as 2847 02:04:55,500 --> 02:04:53,290 clear of the extent as it would be if it 2848 02:04:56,460 --> 02:04:55,510 was a mechanic fixing your car that 2849 02:04:58,470 --> 02:04:56,470 that's the very much the nature of 2850 02:04:59,820 --> 02:04:58,480 politics in sociology in general is that 2851 02:05:02,040 --> 02:04:59,830 is that those are the places you can be 2852 02:05:03,780 --> 02:05:02,050 utterly wrong utterly unreasonable and 2853 02:05:04,830 --> 02:05:03,790 still be successful and so that's a 2854 02:05:06,180 --> 02:05:04,840 problem and it's one of the things that 2855 02:05:09,300 --> 02:05:06,190 we're trying to fix the pursuance by 2856 02:05:10,920 --> 02:05:09,310 kind of providing this apparatus for 2857 02:05:12,480 --> 02:05:10,930 crowdsource research among other things 2858 02:05:13,890 --> 02:05:12,490 and trying to get more journalists to 2859 02:05:16,080 --> 02:05:13,900 use this and tell them and show them 2860 02:05:17,640 --> 02:05:16,090 look this works having crowdsourcing 2861 02:05:19,320 --> 02:05:17,650 works under certain conditions and we 2862 02:05:21,660 --> 02:05:19,330 know a little bit about it you can find 2863 02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:21,670 out more experimenting with it let's 2864 02:05:25,290 --> 02:05:23,770 make your job easier so that's that's 2865 02:05:26,580 --> 02:05:25,300 the solution I've been looking at for 10 2866 02:05:28,830 --> 02:05:26,590 years and that's that's what pursuance 2867 02:05:30,570 --> 02:05:28,840 really grew out of and it's something we 2868 02:05:32,430 --> 02:05:30,580 can build upon and meanwhile we can 2869 02:05:34,050 --> 02:05:32,440 build an independent press outlets as 2870 02:05:36,120 --> 02:05:34,060 has been done successfully in some cases 2871 02:05:37,590 --> 02:05:36,130 and expand their reach and that's that's 2872 02:05:43,010 --> 02:05:37,600 happened too so that's why I would say 2873 02:05:49,390 --> 02:05:43,020 it's not entirely it's not entirely 2874 02:05:51,760 --> 02:05:49,400 broken and excuse me it seems to 2875 02:05:54,459 --> 02:05:51,770 you didn't say it I will so I'll state 2876 02:05:58,419 --> 02:05:54,469 it it's come down to not about being 2877 02:06:00,550 --> 02:05:58,429 right or wrong but it's about clicks yes 2878 02:06:01,959 --> 02:06:00,560 that's that's a huge part of that's what 2879 02:06:04,540 --> 02:06:01,969 the people want now for the most part 2880 02:06:06,669 --> 02:06:04,550 you know that's that's a a cardinal sin 2881 02:06:08,350 --> 02:06:06,679 of humanity that a great deal of the 2882 02:06:11,950 --> 02:06:08,360 American public has fallen insu of 2883 02:06:14,140 --> 02:06:11,960 tribalism caring less about principles 2884 02:06:15,939 --> 02:06:14,150 and more about you know some alleged 2885 02:06:19,600 --> 02:06:15,949 long-term goal that you that you feel 2886 02:06:22,600 --> 02:06:19,610 requires you know hypocrisy 2887 02:06:26,050 --> 02:06:22,610 you know obscurantism the whole what 2888 02:06:29,290 --> 02:06:26,060 Europe was run on of spiritism for a 2889 02:06:32,350 --> 02:06:29,300 long time we call the Dark Ages and you 2890 02:06:34,720 --> 02:06:32,360 know it's it's it is not a game it's the 2891 02:06:35,979 --> 02:06:34,730 trend that most frightens me there's all 2892 02:06:39,220 --> 02:06:35,989 kinds of things that can go wrong that 2893 02:06:42,040 --> 02:06:39,230 we can fix but when the media has has 2894 02:06:43,240 --> 02:06:42,050 severe systemic deficits that are not 2895 02:06:45,430 --> 02:06:43,250 going to be addressed from the inside 2896 02:06:46,899 --> 02:06:45,440 and when the public itself for the most 2897 02:06:51,189 --> 02:06:46,909 part even if there are things I agree 2898 02:06:53,680 --> 02:06:51,199 with them about you know the it's it's 2899 02:06:54,640 --> 02:06:53,690 frightening the extent of it let's go to 2900 02:06:55,959 --> 02:06:54,650 the phones 2901 02:06:59,500 --> 02:06:55,969 hi you're live on fader block who's 2902 02:07:03,180 --> 02:06:59,510 calling say how do bear brown bear it hi 2903 02:07:07,209 --> 02:07:03,190 how are you this is a Isaac from Anaheim 2904 02:07:09,280 --> 02:07:07,219 excellent call you make so many good 2905 02:07:12,130 --> 02:07:09,290 points let me tell you I was very 2906 02:07:16,750 --> 02:07:12,140 involved in Hollywood okay I can't tell 2907 02:07:20,970 --> 02:07:16,760 you what I do but ever since the day 2908 02:07:26,110 --> 02:07:20,980 that Trump was elected I was on a set 2909 02:07:27,939 --> 02:07:26,120 somewhere and I mean these people were 2910 02:07:30,430 --> 02:07:27,949 not acting rationally these people were 2911 02:07:33,520 --> 02:07:30,440 crying there was like like babies having 2912 02:07:36,310 --> 02:07:33,530 tantrums these people in Hollywood have 2913 02:07:43,020 --> 02:07:36,320 been in control for so long with their 2914 02:07:47,140 --> 02:07:43,030 mind-control MKULTRA CIA FBI deep state 2915 02:07:49,030 --> 02:07:47,150 manipulation that that is really what 2916 02:07:52,209 --> 02:07:49,040 bothers them right now and it's gonna 2917 02:07:54,729 --> 02:07:52,219 bother them as long as you know Trump is 2918 02:07:58,770 --> 02:07:54,739 in office right now these people knew 2919 02:08:00,700 --> 02:07:58,780 that they've had control of culture and 2920 02:08:02,620 --> 02:08:00,710 now they're starting to lose that 2921 02:08:03,190 --> 02:08:02,630 control because the Internet's taking 2922 02:08:05,410 --> 02:08:03,200 over 2923 02:08:07,390 --> 02:08:05,420 I mean they still have Netflix which is 2924 02:08:10,510 --> 02:08:07,400 part of their control paradigm they 2925 02:08:13,300 --> 02:08:10,520 still have China owning AMC Theaters 2926 02:08:16,510 --> 02:08:13,310 they have they basically the zionists 2927 02:08:22,060 --> 02:08:16,520 mixed with the Communists and the Saudi 2928 02:08:23,500 --> 02:08:22,070 wahabis are now the new axis of evil as 2929 02:08:26,500 --> 02:08:23,510 fortunately what aligned with that 2930 02:08:30,190 --> 02:08:26,510 that's a pretty interesting take and 2931 02:08:36,100 --> 02:08:30,200 thank you for that Isaac do you see well 2932 02:08:38,890 --> 02:08:36,110 okay I let me say this Trump had a 2933 02:08:42,640 --> 02:08:38,900 reality show for seven or eight years 2934 02:08:43,990 --> 02:08:42,650 and he got another show he is someone 2935 02:08:45,850 --> 02:08:44,000 who associates very closely with the 2936 02:08:47,950 --> 02:08:45,860 person that this caller with the people 2937 02:08:50,620 --> 02:08:47,960 that this call or uh attributes these 2938 02:08:52,420 --> 02:08:50,630 characteristics to so I would find it 2939 02:08:54,070 --> 02:08:52,430 very surprising if it turned out that 2940 02:08:55,840 --> 02:08:54,080 he's going to do the things that a lot 2941 02:08:58,210 --> 02:08:55,850 of the people for instance you follow q 2942 02:09:01,000 --> 02:08:58,220 and on think he's going to do there's 2943 02:09:05,470 --> 02:09:01,010 nothing in his history that that really 2944 02:09:07,630 --> 02:09:05,480 indicates that to anyone who's not just 2945 02:09:09,430 --> 02:09:07,640 looking for a silver clout the silver 2946 02:09:11,500 --> 02:09:09,440 lining this is think this is a guy with 2947 02:09:13,300 --> 02:09:11,510 a long documented history that you don't 2948 02:09:14,590 --> 02:09:13,310 have to depend on anyone anyone said 2949 02:09:17,350 --> 02:09:14,600 about him you can go and look at his 2950 02:09:19,510 --> 02:09:17,360 statements and I think it's kind of 2951 02:09:22,350 --> 02:09:19,520 unusual I think it's strange that he's 2952 02:09:24,400 --> 02:09:22,360 been attributed this anti-establishment 2953 02:09:26,560 --> 02:09:24,410 when he is a nice stylish but in the way 2954 02:09:28,270 --> 02:09:26,570 that he does he does has broken down a 2955 02:09:31,090 --> 02:09:28,280 lot of the frou-frou he's broken down a 2956 02:09:32,710 --> 02:09:31,100 lot of the the edifice which is helpful 2957 02:09:34,450 --> 02:09:32,720 to people like me obviously because that 2958 02:09:37,930 --> 02:09:34,460 edifice was really the only thing that 2959 02:09:40,720 --> 02:09:37,940 was convincing vague minded people that 2960 02:09:45,190 --> 02:09:40,730 this system that is is in great shape so 2961 02:09:47,200 --> 02:09:45,200 that's actually good again I the man he 2962 02:09:48,910 --> 02:09:47,210 himself has made pretty clear his 2963 02:09:50,320 --> 02:09:48,920 beliefs about individual rights he's 2964 02:09:52,510 --> 02:09:50,330 done it over and over again and I don't 2965 02:09:56,320 --> 02:09:52,520 see him as the hero who's going to come 2966 02:09:57,760 --> 02:09:56,330 and restore all of the the various 2967 02:09:59,980 --> 02:09:57,770 things that we were supposedly taken 2968 02:10:03,220 --> 02:09:59,990 from by you know these Hollywood people 2969 02:10:06,730 --> 02:10:03,230 or whoever yeah and and I understand the 2970 02:10:09,640 --> 02:10:06,740 call but there's another thing about 2971 02:10:11,800 --> 02:10:09,650 this that first off I don't do politics 2972 02:10:14,560 --> 02:10:11,810 on this show and one of the reasons why 2973 02:10:16,370 --> 02:10:14,570 I do the conspiracy of politics that 2974 02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:16,380 that's an easy road to go to 2975 02:10:21,169 --> 02:10:18,690 but the reason why I don't do politics 2976 02:10:25,760 --> 02:10:21,179 and especially more and more today is 2977 02:10:31,370 --> 02:10:25,770 that it absolutely divides and causes 2978 02:10:32,330 --> 02:10:31,380 anger I have an audience that is very 2979 02:10:35,330 --> 02:10:32,340 diverse 2980 02:10:38,149 --> 02:10:35,340 and I want them to stay together and and 2981 02:10:40,790 --> 02:10:38,159 as soon it today it just doesn't matter 2982 02:10:45,050 --> 02:10:40,800 the media has chosen the lines in the 2983 02:10:49,040 --> 02:10:45,060 sand and they enjoy the divide and 2984 02:10:51,560 --> 02:10:49,050 conquer rule that is that is so 2985 02:10:53,570 --> 02:10:51,570 prevalent and that it disturbs me so 2986 02:10:56,840 --> 02:10:53,580 when we talk about Trump we could say 2987 02:11:00,169 --> 02:10:56,850 the same thing about a Democrat the 2988 02:11:02,600 --> 02:11:00,179 democratically elected president I think 2989 02:11:04,810 --> 02:11:02,610 those same issues would be there and it 2990 02:11:07,010 --> 02:11:04,820 doesn't really matter so I just II 2991 02:11:09,350 --> 02:11:07,020 understand might my take on this 2992 02:11:11,750 --> 02:11:09,360 absolutely and it's a very reasonable 2993 02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:11,760 approach you know obviously that the key 2994 02:11:16,189 --> 02:11:14,010 thing is to assemble coalition's that 2995 02:11:18,340 --> 02:11:16,199 can do these things that no one that no 2996 02:11:22,459 --> 02:11:18,350 reasonable person who appreciates 2997 02:11:24,379 --> 02:11:22,469 individual rights in disagree on so we 2998 02:11:26,870 --> 02:11:24,389 can differ about what the causes are and 2999 02:11:28,640 --> 02:11:26,880 we can differ about you know the 3000 02:11:30,169 --> 02:11:28,650 particular people involved I happen not 3001 02:11:31,970 --> 02:11:30,179 to think for instance that it makes a 3002 02:11:33,919 --> 02:11:31,980 great deal of sense to say the Trump is 3003 02:11:36,260 --> 02:11:33,929 going to oppose the Zionists given what 3004 02:11:38,030 --> 02:11:36,270 he's actually done in Israel but again 3005 02:11:40,910 --> 02:11:38,040 you know it's just it's one of those 3006 02:11:42,890 --> 02:11:40,920 things where people sort themselves out 3007 02:11:44,419 --> 02:11:42,900 into effective groups that can do well 3008 02:11:46,760 --> 02:11:44,429 they can decide for themselves what 3009 02:11:48,320 --> 02:11:46,770 they're willing to agree with what 3010 02:11:51,140 --> 02:11:48,330 they're willing to agree to disagree on 3011 02:11:53,540 --> 02:11:51,150 and to the extent we get that right and 3012 02:11:56,200 --> 02:11:53,550 bring in people who you know who are 3013 02:11:58,129 --> 02:11:56,210 intellectually honest at the very least 3014 02:12:01,040 --> 02:11:58,139 then we can see these things being 3015 02:12:05,120 --> 02:12:01,050 addressed in ways that uh that I think 3016 02:12:07,910 --> 02:12:05,130 loose that overly broad ideology and 3017 02:12:10,760 --> 02:12:07,920 overly broad theories about what is 3018 02:12:12,560 --> 02:12:10,770 doing what doesn't help us do as much 3019 02:12:15,860 --> 02:12:12,570 it's not as effective as nuanced 3020 02:12:20,360 --> 02:12:15,870 thinking yeah and in those days those 3021 02:12:22,310 --> 02:12:20,370 days are gone in that if if you are in a 3022 02:12:25,610 --> 02:12:22,320 conversation it doesn't even have to be 3023 02:12:28,550 --> 02:12:25,620 on this show it could be at a restaurant 3024 02:12:31,070 --> 02:12:28,560 and somebody brings up Trump or brings 3025 02:12:31,940 --> 02:12:31,080 of Hillary you know somebody what I'm 3026 02:12:34,220 --> 02:12:31,950 out of here 3027 02:12:37,820 --> 02:12:34,230 you know and suddenly it's all this 3028 02:12:40,130 --> 02:12:37,830 anger where whatever happened to 3029 02:12:42,620 --> 02:12:40,140 listening and the other thing is it's 3030 02:12:44,480 --> 02:12:42,630 really a simple point this country is 3031 02:12:47,150 --> 02:12:44,490 built on people being different and 3032 02:12:49,220 --> 02:12:47,160 that's what made is so cool that's what 3033 02:12:51,590 --> 02:12:49,230 made it so great everybody was different 3034 02:12:55,490 --> 02:12:51,600 and we collectively just came together 3035 02:12:57,920 --> 02:12:55,500 and and and because of that it's what 3036 02:13:00,980 --> 02:12:57,930 made this country's Foundation so strong 3037 02:13:04,220 --> 02:13:00,990 and now nobody wants to even contemplate 3038 02:13:06,560 --> 02:13:04,230 the past and what what made this country 3039 02:13:09,770 --> 02:13:06,570 great to begin with it's a it's a 3040 02:13:12,230 --> 02:13:09,780 fascinating thing to see happen and 3041 02:13:13,880 --> 02:13:12,240 happen so so quickly in this country 3042 02:13:15,470 --> 02:13:13,890 let's go back to the phones hi you're 3043 02:13:20,150 --> 02:13:15,480 live I'm paid to Black's a how to bear a 3044 02:13:24,800 --> 02:13:20,160 brown hello Gabriel hey Gabriel hello 3045 02:13:27,640 --> 02:13:24,810 everyone I you know I'm sitting here 3046 02:13:30,860 --> 02:13:27,650 listening and I'm just kind of like I 3047 02:13:34,730 --> 02:13:30,870 mean you know ultimately like blown away 3048 02:13:39,170 --> 02:13:34,740 but at the same time it's like I feel 3049 02:13:44,060 --> 02:13:39,180 like your side of the community as far 3050 02:13:46,550 --> 02:13:44,070 as breaking open the secrecy and making 3051 02:13:50,120 --> 02:13:46,560 sure people understand what is being 3052 02:13:52,550 --> 02:13:50,130 hidden is very important and it's kind 3053 02:13:54,950 --> 02:13:52,560 of like how I feel from from like my 3054 02:13:58,580 --> 02:13:54,960 side of the fence as far as ufology and 3055 02:14:01,220 --> 02:13:58,590 UFOs go because we are you know trying 3056 02:14:04,820 --> 02:14:01,230 to get all these these secrets broken 3057 02:14:07,130 --> 02:14:04,830 open and and get everybody to see and 3058 02:14:10,040 --> 02:14:07,140 hear and understand what a lot of us 3059 02:14:12,740 --> 02:14:10,050 know to be true and I think that you you 3060 02:14:14,620 --> 02:14:12,750 kind of bring that that side of the of 3061 02:14:18,140 --> 02:14:14,630 the you know the hacker quote-unquote 3062 02:14:20,270 --> 02:14:18,150 side of it it kind of it almost feels 3063 02:14:22,520 --> 02:14:20,280 like to me like like we're going to be 3064 02:14:24,800 --> 02:14:22,530 an amalgamation where it's all going to 3065 02:14:27,110 --> 02:14:24,810 come together from all you know and and 3066 02:14:29,270 --> 02:14:27,120 other different genres as well because 3067 02:14:32,000 --> 02:14:29,280 there's so much hidden from us and I 3068 02:14:34,820 --> 02:14:32,010 kind of wonder how you feel about you 3069 02:14:38,420 --> 02:14:34,830 know the kind of UFO phenomenon as it as 3070 02:14:39,489 --> 02:14:38,430 it you know as perspective to to like 3071 02:14:42,249 --> 02:14:39,499 just secrecy 3072 02:14:44,469 --> 02:14:42,259 as far as in general for what the 3073 02:14:46,659 --> 02:14:44,479 government is hidden and corporations 3074 02:14:49,149 --> 02:14:46,669 have hidden and all these things that 3075 02:14:51,869 --> 02:14:49,159 they do I mean how how involved do you 3076 02:14:54,369 --> 02:14:51,879 feel UFOs and and ultimately 3077 02:14:57,249 --> 02:14:54,379 extraterrestrials 3078 02:15:00,579 --> 02:14:57,259 reflecting that it's never been at the 3079 02:15:03,939 --> 02:15:00,589 forefront of my thinking so in large 3080 02:15:06,369 --> 02:15:03,949 part because it's so inaccessible as in 3081 02:15:09,939 --> 02:15:06,379 it's for one thing it's not something 3082 02:15:14,949 --> 02:15:09,949 that I felt what as important as that 3083 02:15:16,329 --> 02:15:14,959 issue would be it's a transcendent 3084 02:15:19,119 --> 02:15:16,339 importance if we're alone in the 3085 02:15:21,699 --> 02:15:19,129 universe or not and and if not what 3086 02:15:23,739 --> 02:15:21,709 extent you know it's something that is 3087 02:15:25,209 --> 02:15:23,749 now taken very very seriously by people 3088 02:15:26,409 --> 02:15:25,219 who think about the long-term future of 3089 02:15:29,079 --> 02:15:26,419 humanity it's something where there's 3090 02:15:31,719 --> 02:15:29,089 there is a methodology that's been 3091 02:15:34,449 --> 02:15:31,729 composed you know by militaries and by 3092 02:15:35,979 --> 02:15:34,459 you know social scientists and by it 3093 02:15:37,779 --> 02:15:35,989 looks like a Brooking institution as you 3094 02:15:39,579 --> 02:15:37,789 probably know right it's something it's 3095 02:15:41,619 --> 02:15:39,589 been thought about and because and I 3096 02:15:44,259 --> 02:15:41,629 also what interests me most about it is 3097 02:15:46,989 --> 02:15:44,269 I like anything in which there is a 3098 02:15:51,909 --> 02:15:46,999 fundamental dispute I like I like to 3099 02:15:54,249 --> 02:15:51,919 figure out why some people are adverse 3100 02:15:56,379 --> 02:15:54,259 to certain kinds of theories why they're 3101 02:15:57,849 --> 02:15:56,389 just automatically adverse to it how 3102 02:15:59,439 --> 02:15:57,859 they came to that position whether or 3103 02:16:02,139 --> 02:15:59,449 not it's valid now in the cases of 3104 02:16:05,799 --> 02:16:02,149 people who for some reason are just 3105 02:16:08,139 --> 02:16:05,809 violently violently pronounced words are 3106 02:16:11,469 --> 02:16:08,149 very much opposed to you know the idea 3107 02:16:13,779 --> 02:16:11,479 of UFOs I've tuned I've tend to found 3108 02:16:15,819 --> 02:16:13,789 find that it seems to just emerge from 3109 02:16:17,019 --> 02:16:15,829 this this thing's they picked up sort of 3110 02:16:18,849 --> 02:16:17,029 vague ideas that it's just they 3111 02:16:20,229 --> 02:16:18,859 associate something with something silly 3112 02:16:21,729 --> 02:16:20,239 and then they just ride it off and 3113 02:16:24,609 --> 02:16:21,739 that's that's long actually applies very 3114 02:16:26,679 --> 02:16:24,619 much to what I do you know it's easier 3115 02:16:28,869 --> 02:16:26,689 now it's hard to remember how much more 3116 02:16:31,899 --> 02:16:28,879 difficult it was 2010 to talk about 3117 02:16:34,959 --> 02:16:31,909 large government apparatus that connect 3118 02:16:36,819 --> 02:16:34,969 in put out propaganda in very advanced 3119 02:16:37,929 --> 02:16:36,829 ways but luckily when we started 3120 02:16:40,179 --> 02:16:37,939 cracking open things like persona 3121 02:16:41,649 --> 02:16:40,189 management's and and now given that 3122 02:16:43,359 --> 02:16:41,659 everyone is very worried about BOTS 3123 02:16:44,919 --> 02:16:43,369 which which are very simple for a blunt 3124 02:16:46,240 --> 02:16:44,929 versions of persona management's which 3125 02:16:49,479 --> 02:16:46,250 is a very sophisticated way of running 3126 02:16:51,549 --> 02:16:49,489 as people you know we're now I think 3127 02:16:53,440 --> 02:16:51,559 it's easier to not just make the case 3128 02:16:57,430 --> 02:16:53,450 reasonably but to make the case in a way 3129 02:16:59,320 --> 02:16:57,440 except that you are never well served by 3130 02:17:02,530 --> 02:16:59,330 assuming that you know a great deal that 3131 02:17:05,320 --> 02:17:02,540 a specialist subject and so people who 3132 02:17:06,970 --> 02:17:05,330 do the actual legwork and the research 3133 02:17:09,970 --> 02:17:06,980 and all that and have informed opinions 3134 02:17:11,140 --> 02:17:09,980 across the board those are the people I 3135 02:17:13,480 --> 02:17:11,150 always respect and want to work with 3136 02:17:15,070 --> 02:17:13,490 regardless of what those beliefs might 3137 02:17:18,490 --> 02:17:15,080 be if they can defend them now I read a 3138 02:17:21,670 --> 02:17:18,500 book by Jack Jacques ballet oh really oh 3139 02:17:26,740 --> 02:17:21,680 yeah yeah again like I'm very interested 3140 02:17:28,780 --> 02:17:26,750 in you know what you might call the the 3141 02:17:30,760 --> 02:17:28,790 psychology of thought I mean I hope the 3142 02:17:32,380 --> 02:17:30,770 bad term the I mean I'm interested again 3143 02:17:34,080 --> 02:17:32,390 and how people come to the conclusions 3144 02:17:37,750 --> 02:17:34,090 they do and I'm also interested in very 3145 02:17:42,190 --> 02:17:37,760 unusual answers to these questions and 3146 02:17:44,230 --> 02:17:42,200 so not being hugely familiar with the 3147 02:17:46,709 --> 02:17:44,240 UFO literature I found was a very 3148 02:17:50,530 --> 02:17:46,719 interesting take you know that sort of 3149 02:17:52,300 --> 02:17:50,540 it was ultimately a agnostic take but it 3150 02:17:55,720 --> 02:17:52,310 was had very interesting two things to 3151 02:17:57,580 --> 02:17:55,730 say about the intelligence community and 3152 02:17:59,709 --> 02:17:57,590 the some of the organizations that back 3153 02:18:02,650 --> 02:17:59,719 in the 60s and 70s were proliferating 3154 02:18:06,130 --> 02:18:02,660 some which were very bizarre and why 3155 02:18:08,920 --> 02:18:06,140 they might exist and beyond so there's 3156 02:18:10,810 --> 02:18:08,930 there's plenty there that if I had more 3157 02:18:13,600 --> 02:18:10,820 time I would explore further 3158 02:18:14,500 --> 02:18:13,610 I've just been occupied with you know 3159 02:18:17,290 --> 02:18:14,510 dealing with the government here on 3160 02:18:20,380 --> 02:18:17,300 earth and and I I totally agree with you 3161 02:18:22,720 --> 02:18:20,390 because like for me you know I'm only 36 3162 02:18:26,020 --> 02:18:22,730 and I think but when I was younger like 3163 02:18:30,100 --> 02:18:26,030 my my dad was involved with underground 3164 02:18:34,060 --> 02:18:30,110 BBS's and you know just just kind of 3165 02:18:35,320 --> 02:18:34,070 underground computing in the very 3166 02:18:37,870 --> 02:18:35,330 beginning I mean he still writes 3167 02:18:41,230 --> 02:18:37,880 programs to this day but my mom at the 3168 02:18:44,680 --> 02:18:41,240 time worked for the DoD in finances and 3169 02:18:47,380 --> 02:18:44,690 so it was like she was giving she was 3170 02:18:48,820 --> 02:18:47,390 coming home and confiding in him these 3171 02:18:51,280 --> 02:18:48,830 things she was learning because she 3172 02:18:53,110 --> 02:18:51,290 worked under Dick Cheney and she was 3173 02:18:56,020 --> 02:18:53,120 learning all these things and seeing all 3174 02:18:58,000 --> 02:18:56,030 these these all the things going on that 3175 02:19:00,880 --> 02:18:58,010 she was just you know you know told the 3176 02:19:03,040 --> 02:19:00,890 process and passed forward whereas my 3177 02:19:04,959 --> 02:19:03,050 dad who was that logical you know 3178 02:19:07,370 --> 02:19:04,969 analytical deep thinker was like well 3179 02:19:09,200 --> 02:19:07,380 what why is it like this why 3180 02:19:11,330 --> 02:19:09,210 doing this how does how does this work 3181 02:19:13,700 --> 02:19:11,340 you know I mean all these things are 3182 02:19:16,370 --> 02:19:13,710 coming together so strangely so his 3183 02:19:18,169 --> 02:19:16,380 brain goes on this path where he can't 3184 02:19:21,259 --> 02:19:18,179 believe what's happening and how it's 3185 02:19:23,299 --> 02:19:21,269 going this way and my mom you know is 3186 02:19:26,089 --> 02:19:23,309 more of a spiritual kind of you know who 3187 02:19:28,129 --> 02:19:26,099 got me into extraterrestrial and 3188 02:19:31,129 --> 02:19:28,139 spirituality and kind of digging deeper 3189 02:19:33,410 --> 02:19:31,139 into what's actually real and the - you 3190 02:19:36,080 --> 02:19:33,420 know have been like you know a racing 3191 02:19:38,900 --> 02:19:36,090 path for me because at times I'm more 3192 02:19:40,790 --> 02:19:38,910 interested in in what information is 3193 02:19:43,009 --> 02:19:40,800 being hidden from us from just you know 3194 02:19:46,129 --> 02:19:43,019 like like your side of the fence because 3195 02:19:48,379 --> 02:19:46,139 that that is like it's like you said 3196 02:19:50,719 --> 02:19:48,389 it's it's easier to grasp and easier to 3197 02:19:53,240 --> 02:19:50,729 hold and first some of us who are only 3198 02:19:54,800 --> 02:19:53,250 focused on ufology like that other side 3199 02:19:56,510 --> 02:19:54,810 of it is just as important and you have 3200 02:19:58,639 --> 02:19:56,520 to understand it because it's like Jimmy 3201 02:20:01,130 --> 02:19:58,649 said where if those kind of subjects 3202 02:20:02,510 --> 02:20:01,140 come up and we just storm off because we 3203 02:20:05,510 --> 02:20:02,520 don't want to hear that there's a deep 3204 02:20:09,110 --> 02:20:05,520 state then we're we're totally missing 3205 02:20:11,150 --> 02:20:09,120 the the connections between all these 3206 02:20:13,550 --> 02:20:11,160 pieces because all of them are going to 3207 02:20:15,889 --> 02:20:13,560 come together and I feel and I wonder 3208 02:20:17,570 --> 02:20:15,899 how you feel that it is do you think all 3209 02:20:19,310 --> 02:20:17,580 these pieces once they come together are 3210 02:20:22,040 --> 02:20:19,320 going to break down this quote-unquote 3211 02:20:24,139 --> 02:20:22,050 wall and allow us to have the freedom 3212 02:20:29,030 --> 02:20:24,149 that we should have in this country that 3213 02:20:32,420 --> 02:20:29,040 kind of you know started as I can I 3214 02:20:37,360 --> 02:20:32,430 would actually be surprised if a major 3215 02:20:41,000 --> 02:20:37,370 revelation regarding UFOs led to a 3216 02:20:43,760 --> 02:20:41,010 comprehensive improved you know free or 3217 02:20:44,990 --> 02:20:43,770 better world I can see that the I think 3218 02:20:46,580 --> 02:20:45,000 the Brookings Institution back when they 3219 02:20:48,050 --> 02:20:46,590 first started looking at the issue and 3220 02:20:50,389 --> 02:20:48,060 other other groups that have had policy 3221 02:20:52,460 --> 02:20:50,399 also on UFOs for a long time 3222 02:20:53,719 --> 02:20:52,470 I think they that's their conclusion and 3223 02:20:55,460 --> 02:20:53,729 they it could be wrong and they record 3224 02:20:58,100 --> 02:20:55,470 that that presumably would be the reason 3225 02:20:59,810 --> 02:20:58,110 for having a UFO policy in the first 3226 02:21:01,850 --> 02:20:59,820 place is look is there's this huge thing 3227 02:21:05,120 --> 02:21:01,860 that's going to happen how would that 3228 02:21:07,910 --> 02:21:05,130 change people and you know no think tank 3229 02:21:09,710 --> 02:21:07,920 is prescient they can make they can make 3230 02:21:12,320 --> 02:21:09,720 predictions about the future about human 3231 02:21:14,210 --> 02:21:12,330 psychology in some cases they have 3232 02:21:16,010 --> 02:21:14,220 access to more data than we do power 3233 02:21:18,710 --> 02:21:16,020 because they have you know all kinds of 3234 02:21:20,719 --> 02:21:18,720 bizarre unethical history but the CIA 3235 02:21:20,900 --> 02:21:20,729 and of the Japanese war criminals that 3236 02:21:22,490 --> 02:21:20,910 we 3237 02:21:24,290 --> 02:21:22,500 captured and learn from the Nazis as 3238 02:21:25,881 --> 02:21:24,300 well they didn't have a larger body of 3239 02:21:27,440 --> 02:21:25,891 knowledge to decide how people were 3240 02:21:29,030 --> 02:21:27,450 gonna react to different things we also 3241 02:21:32,870 --> 02:21:29,040 have of course you know that more of the 3242 02:21:35,540 --> 02:21:32,880 world's incidents sure so so I can't say 3243 02:21:38,511 --> 02:21:35,550 I'm an optimist about and again I'm I am 3244 02:21:39,890 --> 02:21:38,521 agnostic on most of the issues I will 3245 02:21:41,450 --> 02:21:39,900 tell you that the very fact that there 3246 02:21:42,980 --> 02:21:41,460 is a UFO policy and the fact that 3247 02:21:45,350 --> 02:21:42,990 Brookings Institution was writing these 3248 02:21:47,631 --> 02:21:45,360 documents about these things that is 3249 02:21:51,140 --> 02:21:47,641 something that any journalist who just 3250 02:21:53,091 --> 02:21:51,150 last saw UFOs is a fool that is 3251 02:21:55,160 --> 02:21:53,101 ultimately it is immediately your job to 3252 02:21:59,030 --> 02:21:55,170 look in into why that's the case doesn't 3253 02:22:02,000 --> 02:21:59,040 matter if UFOs exist or not it is a part 3254 02:22:04,250 --> 02:22:02,010 of the human psychology and to the 3255 02:22:07,430 --> 02:22:04,260 extent that's true it can be leveraged 3256 02:22:09,170 --> 02:22:07,440 by bad actors beyond that obviously to 3257 02:22:10,640 --> 02:22:09,180 the extent that it is true and I agree 3258 02:22:12,950 --> 02:22:10,650 with Jacquie valet that there is some 3259 02:22:15,140 --> 02:22:12,960 phenomenon that may be immaterial may 3260 02:22:17,570 --> 02:22:15,150 not be a physical phenomenon or it could 3261 02:22:19,610 --> 02:22:17,580 be some combination of things but uh to 3262 02:22:21,230 --> 02:22:19,620 the extent that that is the case 3263 02:22:23,450 --> 02:22:21,240 included to the extent that obviously 3264 02:22:27,350 --> 02:22:23,460 there's plenty of scientists who do not 3265 02:22:29,631 --> 02:22:27,360 oppose the idea of you know either extra 3266 02:22:32,060 --> 02:22:29,641 dimensional beings or you know sort of 3267 02:22:35,870 --> 02:22:32,070 physical you know old-school aliens of 3268 02:22:38,810 --> 02:22:35,880 the popular imagination it's it's it's a 3269 02:22:40,100 --> 02:22:38,820 crime against against the human 3270 02:22:42,860 --> 02:22:40,110 intellect and against our progress 3271 02:22:45,280 --> 02:22:42,870 forward to to use arguments from 3272 02:22:47,511 --> 02:22:45,290 absurdity and sort of scoff at things 3273 02:22:48,530 --> 02:22:47,521 without having fully investigated and 3274 02:22:52,370 --> 02:22:48,540 unfortunately it's a very widespread 3275 02:22:54,320 --> 02:22:52,380 crime if it is true if it were true that 3276 02:22:56,120 --> 02:22:54,330 there was for instance a secret alien 3277 02:22:57,740 --> 02:22:56,130 government we would never know about it 3278 02:22:59,180 --> 02:22:57,750 because how do you how do you begin the 3279 02:23:00,980 --> 02:22:59,190 process of getting an editor a producer 3280 02:23:02,360 --> 02:23:00,990 to listen to that I came and get them 3281 02:23:03,170 --> 02:23:02,370 for the most part to acknowledge things 3282 02:23:04,370 --> 02:23:03,180 that I've already written about 3283 02:23:05,360 --> 02:23:04,380 elsewhere because they don't think they 3284 02:23:08,570 --> 02:23:05,370 don't believe them if they haven't seen 3285 02:23:09,500 --> 02:23:08,580 them picked up by other outlets they're 3286 02:23:10,820 --> 02:23:09,510 just a lot of there's a lot of 3287 02:23:13,070 --> 02:23:10,830 heuristics involved there's a lot of 3288 02:23:15,530 --> 02:23:13,080 just poor logic involved in the way in 3289 02:23:17,390 --> 02:23:15,540 which we respond to things and that's 3290 02:23:19,390 --> 02:23:17,400 one of those things that I don't see 3291 02:23:21,591 --> 02:23:19,400 being fixed anytime soon 3292 02:23:23,680 --> 02:23:21,601 Gabriel thank you for the phone call my 3293 02:23:26,091 --> 02:23:23,690 friend enjoy the rest of your weekend 3294 02:23:28,341 --> 02:23:26,101 thank you guys very much I appreciate 3295 02:23:30,890 --> 02:23:28,351 you yeah thank you so much great phone 3296 02:23:33,860 --> 02:23:30,900 call very can I get you to hang on for 3297 02:23:34,610 --> 02:23:33,870 ten minutes or do a little overtime sure 3298 02:23:37,700 --> 02:23:34,620 sure I'm 3299 02:23:41,841 --> 02:23:37,710 I'm not finished tonight but I want to 3300 02:23:44,480 --> 02:23:41,851 go back and actually finish your thought 3301 02:23:46,850 --> 02:23:44,490 there which is this you said something 3302 02:23:50,680 --> 02:23:46,860 that I think it's critical if you went 3303 02:23:54,890 --> 02:23:50,690 to your news director or your editor and 3304 02:23:57,020 --> 02:23:54,900 said like sick forces Vanity Fair right 3305 02:23:58,820 --> 02:23:57,030 HuffPost you might get away with it 3306 02:24:00,320 --> 02:23:58,830 but if you you know you went to them and 3307 02:24:04,190 --> 02:24:00,330 said hey you know I got this serious 3308 02:24:06,530 --> 02:24:04,200 piece here about UFOs and abduction or a 3309 02:24:08,720 --> 02:24:06,540 sighting that happened and and I've got 3310 02:24:11,540 --> 02:24:08,730 this in the you know can I move forward 3311 02:24:13,490 --> 02:24:11,550 with this can I go out and and start to 3312 02:24:16,341 --> 02:24:13,500 talk to these these people and these 3313 02:24:17,841 --> 02:24:16,351 witnesses would you even would you even 3314 02:24:19,720 --> 02:24:17,851 have that conversation with the 3315 02:24:22,220 --> 02:24:19,730 Eradicator I mean where would that go I 3316 02:24:24,170 --> 02:24:22,230 can tell you their conversations with my 3317 02:24:27,230 --> 02:24:24,180 editors that I've had and that resulted 3318 02:24:28,880 --> 02:24:27,240 in me quitting eventually over those 3319 02:24:30,230 --> 02:24:28,890 kind of things in one case you know I 3320 02:24:32,030 --> 02:24:30,240 was asking to write about something that 3321 02:24:33,710 --> 02:24:32,040 I had already written about before this 3322 02:24:37,240 --> 02:24:33,720 is roma spoilers it was this large 3323 02:24:39,290 --> 02:24:37,250 apparatus that the US government uses 3324 02:24:40,761 --> 02:24:39,300 sort of propaganda and surveillance 3325 02:24:42,110 --> 02:24:40,771 thing it sort of too complex for us to 3326 02:24:43,870 --> 02:24:42,120 get our head around but it involves all 3327 02:24:46,070 --> 02:24:43,880 these aspects that we can point out like 3328 02:24:47,690 --> 02:24:46,080 everything from natural linguistics 3329 02:24:49,870 --> 02:24:47,700 process into cell phone games it was a 3330 02:24:51,860 --> 02:24:49,880 very strange deal I wrote about it 3331 02:24:53,630 --> 02:24:51,870 eventually for the Guardian and put out 3332 02:24:57,560 --> 02:24:53,640 a piece on our website back in the 3333 02:25:00,710 --> 02:24:57,570 project PM days and more recently uh max 3334 02:25:02,240 --> 02:25:00,720 Blumenthal has referenced that because 3335 02:25:03,740 --> 02:25:02,250 there was one aspect of it that this 3336 02:25:05,630 --> 02:25:03,750 editor could not get his head around and 3337 02:25:09,261 --> 02:25:05,640 that was that Apple and Google had both 3338 02:25:11,000 --> 02:25:09,271 met with Aaron Barr and these these 3339 02:25:12,470 --> 02:25:11,010 companies HBGary the ones that we 3340 02:25:14,570 --> 02:25:12,480 investigated originally the one driving 3341 02:25:17,511 --> 02:25:14,580 this team theme is scandal they met with 3342 02:25:19,430 --> 02:25:17,521 them and some larger companies to work 3343 02:25:21,920 --> 02:25:19,440 on this recompete contract for this big 3344 02:25:24,200 --> 02:25:21,930 apparatus now this is something we know 3345 02:25:26,540 --> 02:25:24,210 this the emails on this came come from 3346 02:25:27,980 --> 02:25:26,550 the same place the emails came on all 3347 02:25:29,540 --> 02:25:27,990 these other things that work that were a 3348 02:25:30,980 --> 02:25:29,550 big news on him for a month after we 3349 02:25:33,020 --> 02:25:30,990 discovered then the whole team famous 3350 02:25:35,930 --> 02:25:33,030 thing going after journalists blah blah 3351 02:25:37,580 --> 02:25:35,940 blah but first and we had the emails I 3352 02:25:40,640 --> 02:25:37,590 could point to him but for some reason 3353 02:25:43,670 --> 02:25:40,650 this editor who had been an editor at 3354 02:25:45,290 --> 02:25:43,680 major publications for quite a while he 3355 02:25:47,150 --> 02:25:45,300 just didn't think it would be the case 3356 02:25:48,570 --> 02:25:47,160 and he started lecturing me on how I've 3357 02:25:52,980 --> 02:25:48,580 misunderstood something 3358 02:25:55,920 --> 02:25:52,990 and so I can't even imagine uh you know 3359 02:25:58,980 --> 02:25:55,930 if a UFO crashed in the backyard of 3360 02:26:01,920 --> 02:25:58,990 where I'm at right now I'd probably just 3361 02:26:03,590 --> 02:26:01,930 you know I might take some pictures but 3362 02:26:05,790 --> 02:26:03,600 I wouldn't send I wouldn't send them to 3363 02:26:07,140 --> 02:26:05,800 you I hate the publication's arrived for 3364 02:26:08,250 --> 02:26:07,150 luckily I don't have to freelance very 3365 02:26:10,590 --> 02:26:08,260 much anymore I've got the book coming 3366 02:26:12,710 --> 02:26:10,600 out and all that so I you know I'm 3367 02:26:17,310 --> 02:26:12,720 getting out of that whole thing because 3368 02:26:18,210 --> 02:26:17,320 trying to convince an editor of 3369 02:26:19,560 --> 02:26:18,220 something he doesn't want to be 3370 02:26:21,780 --> 02:26:19,570 convinced of was something that that 3371 02:26:23,280 --> 02:26:21,790 sort of goes against his idea that the 3372 02:26:24,690 --> 02:26:23,290 press has things under control you know 3373 02:26:26,190 --> 02:26:24,700 a lot of people don't reason they don't 3374 02:26:28,170 --> 02:26:26,200 believe that JFK could have been 3375 02:26:30,390 --> 02:26:28,180 assassinated by a conspiracy involving 3376 02:26:32,761 --> 02:26:30,400 CIA elements is because they they have 3377 02:26:34,590 --> 02:26:32,771 that much faith in the press that they 3378 02:26:36,720 --> 02:26:34,600 would have gotten it right and that's a 3379 02:26:39,180 --> 02:26:36,730 big part of why it's very difficult to 3380 02:26:41,940 --> 02:26:39,190 deal with anything that for some reason 3381 02:26:43,890 --> 02:26:41,950 even has the the aura of being a 3382 02:26:45,750 --> 02:26:43,900 conspiracy theory the the term 3383 02:26:47,850 --> 02:26:45,760 conspiracy theory of course is vastly 3384 02:26:49,860 --> 02:26:47,860 misused as if as if conspiracies were 3385 02:26:52,410 --> 02:26:49,870 not something or some supernatural thing 3386 02:26:55,950 --> 02:26:52,420 that we can that we in hotel can't prove 3387 02:26:59,430 --> 02:26:55,960 the do Jake charges hundreds of people 3388 02:27:02,850 --> 02:26:59,440 with conspiracies every every month you 3389 02:27:04,320 --> 02:27:02,860 know it just opens up by the other 3390 02:27:06,720 --> 02:27:04,330 topics you know just about how we think 3391 02:27:09,120 --> 02:27:06,730 about a secret secrecy and how we think 3392 02:27:11,400 --> 02:27:09,130 about the possibilities inherent to 3393 02:27:13,470 --> 02:27:11,410 humanity but this is this is where we're 3394 02:27:16,730 --> 02:27:13,480 a race that you know thousands of years 3395 02:27:19,410 --> 02:27:16,740 ago throughout much of the world 3396 02:27:20,520 --> 02:27:19,420 convinced people to build pyramids in 3397 02:27:25,190 --> 02:27:20,530 honor of their godhood 3398 02:27:28,380 --> 02:27:25,200 there's you know that there is a great 3399 02:27:31,140 --> 02:27:28,390 vast potential of human experience and 3400 02:27:32,670 --> 02:27:31,150 of human folly and we have records of a 3401 02:27:35,370 --> 02:27:32,680 great deal of it some of some very 3402 02:27:37,470 --> 02:27:35,380 recent unfortunately it would be it 3403 02:27:40,801 --> 02:27:37,480 would be foolish for anyone to ever 3404 02:27:46,530 --> 02:27:40,811 really set forth to really hold on to a 3405 02:27:48,120 --> 02:27:46,540 concrete view of life and of reality and 3406 02:27:50,011 --> 02:27:48,130 that's what people have done for 3407 02:27:51,960 --> 02:27:50,021 thousands of years and we look back at 3408 02:27:53,580 --> 02:27:51,970 them and now we see that wrong when we 3409 02:27:54,540 --> 02:27:53,590 think they're wrong that's right and we 3410 02:27:55,770 --> 02:27:54,550 don't take this we don't take the same 3411 02:27:58,950 --> 02:27:55,780 lesson to heart so that's you know 3412 02:28:00,420 --> 02:27:58,960 that's a huge problem that informs lots 3413 02:28:01,769 --> 02:28:00,430 of other little little problems as well 3414 02:28:05,969 --> 02:28:01,779 well it's easier 3415 02:28:07,139 --> 02:28:05,979 to just take the easy road alright as a 3416 02:28:09,239 --> 02:28:07,149 practice as a practical matter no 3417 02:28:11,210 --> 02:28:09,249 journalist wants to even if a journalist 3418 02:28:14,699 --> 02:28:11,220 is convinced that there is something 3419 02:28:18,929 --> 02:28:14,709 that is involve importance that he can 3420 02:28:21,210 --> 02:28:18,939 probably prove via documents yes to ask 3421 02:28:23,579 --> 02:28:21,220 the question will anyone pay attention 3422 02:28:25,469 --> 02:28:23,589 well even get this past an editor and in 3423 02:28:27,869 --> 02:28:25,479 the process will I destroy my ability to 3424 02:28:29,819 --> 02:28:27,879 do other stories that's right and that's 3425 02:28:32,939 --> 02:28:29,829 that's that's absolutely the main thing 3426 02:28:35,819 --> 02:28:32,949 then there is there is less need and 3427 02:28:38,269 --> 02:28:35,829 then we would hope in an ideal world for 3428 02:28:40,619 --> 02:28:38,279 the kind of censorship apparatus that uh 3429 02:28:42,359 --> 02:28:40,629 you know some people think we have a lot 3430 02:28:45,269 --> 02:28:42,369 of it is automatics a lot of it is cell 3431 02:28:47,250 --> 02:28:45,279 is done by the failures of of that 3432 02:28:49,559 --> 02:28:47,260 industry a lot of it is done 3433 02:28:51,029 --> 02:28:49,569 person-to-person its the failures that 3434 02:28:52,979 --> 02:28:51,039 occur when people don't

out of control and we had 3542 02:34:37,500 --> 02:34:34,180 about two or three months I'm sure you 3543 02:34:39,450 --> 02:34:37,510 saw all of it of constant media coverage 3544 02:34:42,450 --> 02:34:39,460 of the UFO subject for the first time 3545 02:34:44,690 --> 02:34:42,460 ever in the history of of this country 3546 02:34:48,450 --> 02:34:44,700 it's never been covered like that before 3547 02:34:52,050 --> 02:34:48,460 two things came out of that one was the 3548 02:34:55,800 --> 02:34:52,060 coverage but the second part was the 3549 02:34:58,830 --> 02:34:55,810 mass media suddenly whether it was print 3550 02:35:02,820 --> 02:34:58,840 online or television was suddenly 3551 02:35:05,070 --> 02:35:02,830 comfortable with with the subject what 3552 02:35:08,640 --> 02:35:05,080 what did you think about that as you saw 3553 02:35:12,570 --> 02:35:08,650 this front-page news of UFOs for the 3554 02:35:14,450 --> 02:35:12,580 first time my experience with both being 3555 02:35:17,100 --> 02:35:14,460 a subject of the press and being a 3556 02:35:18,630 --> 02:35:17,110 journalist and a press critic who pays 3557 02:35:22,410 --> 02:35:18,640 special attention to journalism is 3558 02:35:24,720 --> 02:35:22,420 generally that a lot of the things that 3559 02:35:29,780 --> 02:35:24,730 go down are very much the complex 3560 02:35:33,261 --> 02:35:29,790 results of personal ambition career ism 3561 02:35:38,070 --> 02:35:33,271 heuristics you know just poor thinking 3562 02:35:40,590 --> 02:35:38,080 money and ideology but a mixed in and 3563 02:35:42,360 --> 02:35:40,600 all different amounts the various 3564 02:35:43,800 --> 02:35:42,370 primality outlets there is also of 3565 02:35:47,000 --> 02:35:43,810 course historically a degree of 3566 02:35:49,229 --> 02:35:47,010 infiltration by intelligence communities 3567 02:35:51,300 --> 02:35:49,239 of the u.s. press and that was I think I 3568 02:35:53,519 --> 02:35:51,310 probably that's a peak and the later end 3569 02:35:55,679 --> 02:35:53,529 of the Cold War or the 60s and 70s when 3570 02:35:57,750 --> 02:35:55,689 you know you had Reuters you know 3571 02:35:59,760 --> 02:35:57,760 Washington Post Time magazine was you 3572 02:36:01,559 --> 02:35:59,770 know voluntarily sort of in the service 3573 02:36:06,599 --> 02:36:01,569 of the CIA Henry Luce you know was you 3574 02:36:08,490 --> 02:36:06,609 know having said that right now so I 3575 02:36:10,319 --> 02:36:08,500 read that article when it came out and I 3576 02:36:12,240 --> 02:36:10,329 was obviously interested to see what 3577 02:36:14,939 --> 02:36:12,250 would come of it from the press and I 3578 02:36:17,519 --> 02:36:14,949 didn't I didn't pay enough attention to 3579 02:36:21,269 --> 02:36:17,529 know to see how much coverage there was 3580 02:36:24,240 --> 02:36:21,279 in the aftermath I did find it very 3581 02:36:27,540 --> 02:36:24,250 telling and unsurprising that there was 3582 02:36:30,660 --> 02:36:27,550 a mention in that article of this alien 3583 02:36:33,990 --> 02:36:30,670 alloy that was being held in a building 3584 02:36:35,429 --> 02:36:34,000 I guess in New Mexico well it was sort 3585 02:36:39,540 --> 02:36:35,439 of noted in passing and then not really 3586 02:36:41,040 --> 02:36:39,550 dwelled upon right and so there's a 3587 02:36:43,769 --> 02:36:41,050 number of frameworks this can fall under 3588 02:36:46,559 --> 02:36:43,779 this we can explain this as my my 3589 02:36:50,040 --> 02:36:46,569 framework for this is that for some 3590 02:36:53,130 --> 02:36:50,050 reason or another you know these figures 3591 02:36:54,420 --> 02:36:53,140 around that project which is my 3592 02:36:55,740 --> 02:36:54,430 understanding includes some people who 3593 02:36:57,660 --> 02:36:55,750 are basically private citizens who were 3594 02:37:00,269 --> 02:36:57,670 always interested UFO ology and have now 3595 02:37:07,370 --> 02:37:00,279 been approached and asked to sort of I 3596 02:37:11,280 --> 02:37:07,380 guess oversee this this media initiative 3597 02:37:12,870 --> 02:37:11,290 and add beyond that bond that my my 3598 02:37:15,059 --> 02:37:12,880 interest is mostly been in how the press 3599 02:37:18,030 --> 02:37:15,069 takes it and the press you know I don't 3600 02:37:19,439 --> 02:37:18,040 think did a great job of you know 3601 02:37:20,729 --> 02:37:19,449 running with the questions here like 3602 02:37:22,590 --> 02:37:20,739 what's the deal with that alien alloy 3603 02:37:23,580 --> 02:37:22,600 that would've been my first question 3604 02:37:25,290 --> 02:37:23,590 like hey you just said there's an alien 3605 02:37:27,149 --> 02:37:25,300 owl in this building that's kind of a 3606 02:37:30,389 --> 02:37:27,159 huge deal which has been sort of buried 3607 02:37:32,219 --> 02:37:30,399 the lead I don't think the people who 3608 02:37:34,080 --> 02:37:32,229 wrote that article I do not think they 3609 02:37:35,639 --> 02:37:34,090 were working in accordance with some 3610 02:37:38,580 --> 02:37:35,649 plan it's possible they were being given 3611 02:37:40,950 --> 02:37:38,590 information by people who were I can say 3612 02:37:42,920 --> 02:37:40,960 that if someone does an article the New 3613 02:37:47,460 --> 02:37:42,930 York Times about something like UFOs 3614 02:37:49,170 --> 02:37:47,470 it's something that the editors then 3615 02:37:52,859 --> 02:37:49,180 doesn't necessarily occur encourage them 3616 02:37:54,120 --> 02:37:52,869 to do but it's on you it's unusual 3617 02:37:56,670 --> 02:37:54,130 obviously I'm not saying anything 3618 02:37:58,410 --> 02:37:56,680 surprising there but it's it's I wonder 3619 02:38:01,130 --> 02:37:58,420 the dynamics there at the New York Times 3620 02:38:04,439 --> 02:38:01,140 and how this came about 3621 02:38:07,050 --> 02:38:04,449 beyond that really I'm very much 3622 02:38:08,309 --> 02:38:07,060 I want sure of non-plus inspector I've 3623 02:38:11,819 --> 02:38:08,319 never really figured out what nonplussed 3624 02:38:14,729 --> 02:38:11,829 means I am I am I am confused about the 3625 02:38:18,330 --> 02:38:14,739 situation and there's and then there's 3626 02:38:20,489 --> 02:38:18,340 the other side of the issue which is in 3627 02:38:24,599 --> 02:38:20,499 you brought up the Brookings Institute 3628 02:38:26,309 --> 02:38:24,609 and the other reports that were done by 3629 02:38:30,929 --> 02:38:26,319 different agencies leading up to this 3630 02:38:32,399 --> 02:38:30,939 that once this was exposed like the New 3631 02:38:35,189 --> 02:38:32,409 York Times did and then it was you know 3632 02:38:38,340 --> 02:38:35,199 CNN and Fox and BBC and everybody 3633 02:38:41,489 --> 02:38:38,350 running with the story that religions 3634 02:38:43,410 --> 02:38:41,499 didn't collapse right Wall Street didn't 3635 02:38:47,460 --> 02:38:43,420 thought there wasn't pandemonium or 3636 02:38:50,729 --> 02:38:47,470 Anarchy or or civil unrest that part it 3637 02:38:53,130 --> 02:38:50,739 seemed to just just kind of blow by 3638 02:38:56,790 --> 02:38:53,140 everybody and there wasn't this this 3639 02:38:59,279 --> 02:38:56,800 crazy reaction that others had suggested 3640 02:39:01,559 --> 02:38:59,289 would happen once it was exposed like it 3641 02:39:03,029 --> 02:39:01,569 was part of that has to do with how 3642 02:39:04,889 --> 02:39:03,039 bizarre things are already without 3643 02:39:07,170 --> 02:39:04,899 bringing UFOs in this thing there's 3644 02:39:09,269 --> 02:39:07,180 always there's a blanket of unusual 3645 02:39:12,179 --> 02:39:09,279 things going on that probably muffled it 3646 02:39:17,689 --> 02:39:12,189 a little bit but but undoubtedly that's 3647 02:39:21,389 --> 02:39:17,699 also because you know a limited 3648 02:39:22,469 --> 02:39:21,399 disclosure like that regardless of the 3649 02:39:25,279 --> 02:39:22,479 truth behind it 3650 02:39:27,750 --> 02:39:25,289 that is something that people can easily 3651 02:39:30,510 --> 02:39:27,760 accommodate into their worldview the 3652 02:39:31,979 --> 02:39:30,520 people who believe that UFOs definitely 3653 02:39:34,559 --> 02:39:31,989 do not exist and that they're you know 3654 02:39:35,910 --> 02:39:34,569 just or whatever they have nope no have 3655 02:39:37,349 --> 02:39:35,920 no problem with that they'll say oh this 3656 02:39:39,029 --> 02:39:37,359 is some crazy some kooky guys and 3657 02:39:41,429 --> 02:39:39,039 they're just there's nothing to it 3658 02:39:43,859 --> 02:39:41,439 they'll say that the ones who are very 3659 02:39:46,529 --> 02:39:43,869 very fundamentalist religious religious 3660 02:39:48,090 --> 02:39:46,539 beliefs around the world will 3661 02:39:49,649 --> 02:39:48,100 incorporate it very quickly and easily 3662 02:39:50,819 --> 02:39:49,659 into their worldview just as the 3663 02:39:54,569 --> 02:39:50,829 Catholic Church has done for thousands 3664 02:39:55,800 --> 02:39:54,579 of years when they've needed to you know 3665 02:39:57,689 --> 02:39:55,810 the fact of the matter is that we are we 3666 02:40:03,000 --> 02:39:57,699 are people we are these conscious beings 3667 02:40:05,250 --> 02:40:03,010 that exist in this in this incomparable 3668 02:40:07,380 --> 02:40:05,260 situation already and so really nothing 3669 02:40:10,290 --> 02:40:07,390 should surprise anyone but you know that 3670 02:40:12,450 --> 02:40:10,300 there are there are sort of mental 3671 02:40:14,340 --> 02:40:12,460 structures in place that again that can 3672 02:40:14,700 --> 02:40:14,350 make some things dangerous but you know 3673 02:40:16,770 --> 02:40:14,710 a lot of them 3674 02:40:18,900 --> 02:40:16,780 they use about you know one civilization 3675 02:40:21,330 --> 02:40:18,910 more advanced encountering another one 3676 02:40:23,310 --> 02:40:21,340 in that civilization collapses 3677 02:40:25,140 --> 02:40:23,320 you know that's often true but it's 3678 02:40:27,750 --> 02:40:25,150 often not I mean the Chinese had no 3679 02:40:30,090 --> 02:40:27,760 problems you know encountering these 3680 02:40:31,830 --> 02:40:30,100 people was sometimes more technology 3681 02:40:33,150 --> 02:40:31,840 than them and incorporating them into 3682 02:40:34,260 --> 02:40:33,160 their culture and they've done a great 3683 02:40:37,620 --> 02:40:34,270 job of that in the last couple hundred 3684 02:40:40,110 --> 02:40:37,630 years it alot of the examples of you 3685 02:40:41,370 --> 02:40:40,120 know the Aztecs and Incas you know there 3686 02:40:45,330 --> 02:40:41,380 are other factors that wonders they were 3687 02:40:48,540 --> 02:40:45,340 overwhelmed by Cortes and and and 3688 02:40:51,420 --> 02:40:48,550 company there were just images other 3689 02:40:55,070 --> 02:40:51,430 other factions play so I just I can 3690 02:40:58,440 --> 02:40:55,080 still see why a high-end sort of 3691 02:41:00,210 --> 02:40:58,450 think-tank person around the government 3692 02:41:01,620 --> 02:41:00,220 intelligence would have been concerned 3693 02:41:03,870 --> 02:41:01,630 about that possibility 3694 02:41:08,190 --> 02:41:03,880 back in the 50s especially what they do 3695 02:41:10,380 --> 02:41:08,200 do about the sort of Cold War thinking I 3696 02:41:11,910 --> 02:41:10,390 guess we know I guess we now now have 3697 02:41:15,360 --> 02:41:11,920 more knowledge about how the public will 3698 02:41:18,060 --> 02:41:15,370 react to gradual disclosures of any 3699 02:41:21,660 --> 02:41:18,070 contact with aliens we know that now I 3700 02:41:24,690 --> 02:41:21,670 guess yeah and the other and you're 3701 02:41:26,610 --> 02:41:24,700 right about one point and before I even 3702 02:41:27,900 --> 02:41:26,620 say what that is I do want to thank you 3703 02:41:30,020 --> 02:41:27,910 for coming out tonight it's been an 3704 02:41:33,300 --> 02:41:30,030 amazing conversation I look forward to 3705 02:41:36,030 --> 02:41:33,310 talking not only in the future but you 3706 02:41:38,070 --> 02:41:36,040 mentioned queuing on I do want to get 3707 02:41:39,840 --> 02:41:38,080 into that with you at a later date and 3708 02:41:41,430 --> 02:41:39,850 some other stuff but it's just been a 3709 02:41:44,370 --> 02:41:41,440 fascinating conversation and thank you 3710 02:41:46,260 --> 02:41:44,380 but you did bring up I think a very 3711 02:41:52,230 --> 02:41:46,270 important point and some of the stuff 3712 02:41:54,710 --> 02:41:52,240 that you exposed not only with some of 3713 02:41:57,090 --> 02:41:54,720 the surveillance programs and the 3714 02:41:59,130 --> 02:41:57,100 civilian contractors and corporations 3715 02:42:02,640 --> 02:41:59,140 and the m.i.c the military industrial 3716 02:42:05,640 --> 02:42:02,650 complex that are using against our 3717 02:42:08,580 --> 02:42:05,650 citizens that that takes away some of 3718 02:42:11,130 --> 02:42:08,590 the shock of other things that would be 3719 02:42:13,140 --> 02:42:11,140 exposed later you know and that's I 3720 02:42:15,020 --> 02:42:13,150 think that's a very good point that you 3721 02:42:18,990 --> 02:42:15,030 brought up and you you were part of that 3722 02:42:21,020 --> 02:42:19,000 now before I say goodnight

02:44:27,029 didn't want to dwell on the prison 3775 02:44:32,330 --> 02:44:29,939 experience he was huge like Jimmy I'll 3776 02:44:34,790 --> 02:44:32,340 talk about all of that but I didn't want 3777 02:44:37,670 --> 02:44:34,800 to revisit those because it's you know 3778 02:44:41,599 --> 02:44:37,680 it's not exactly a fun time but after he 3779 02:44:45,780 --> 02:44:41,609 gets out the second he talked to 3780 02:44:47,940 --> 02:44:45,790 they arrested him again and I was 3781 02:44:52,320 --> 02:44:47,950 reaching out to Barrett 3782 02:44:54,809 --> 02:44:52,330 - come on fade to black and you know and 3783 02:44:57,540 --> 02:44:54,819 and we had I was pushing and it was 3784 02:44:58,950 --> 02:44:57,550 about to happen and then they turn 3785 02:45:00,750 --> 02:44:58,960 around and arrest him for speaking of 3786 02:45:04,530 --> 02:45:00,760 ice which stopped him from coming on 3787 02:45:07,200 --> 02:45:04,540 this show and I just it's like 3788 02:45:10,710 --> 02:45:07,210 revisiting the nightmare again for him 3789 02:45:12,510 --> 02:45:10,720 and they they held him at an undisclosed 3790 02:45:15,510 --> 02:45:12,520 location and they wouldn't tell anybody 3791 02:45:17,400 --> 02:45:15,520 his family or anything what was going on 3792 02:45:20,280 --> 02:45:17,410 and it was like the nightmare started 3793 02:45:22,950 --> 02:45:20,290 all over again it was an unbelievable 3794 02:45:23,670 --> 02:45:22,960 thing he has been through a lot I just 3795 02:45:26,309 --> 02:45:23,680 talked about 3796 02:45:31,200 --> 02:45:26,319 he takes activists to a whole nother 3797 02:45:34,910 --> 02:45:31,210 level man he he definitely lives up to 3798 02:45:37,800 --> 02:45:34,920 everything that he says that he is about 3799 02:45:41,010 --> 02:45:37,810 mm-hmm absolutely hey can I go down 3800 02:45:42,690 --> 02:45:41,020 another road here real quick sure okay 3801 02:45:44,099 --> 02:45:42,700 because I didn't get to talk to America 3802 02:45:47,190 --> 02:45:44,109 since you had Emory on the other night 3803 02:45:49,050 --> 02:45:47,200 man my head was just wrapping around the 3804 02:45:50,550 --> 02:45:49,060 information that Emory gives us and one 3805 02:45:54,150 --> 02:45:50,560 of those things that he dropped was 3806 02:45:55,950 --> 02:45:54,160 Malaysian flight 370 mm-hmm and when he 3807 02:45:58,889 --> 02:45:55,960 disclosed what he what he felt what 3808 02:46:00,599 --> 02:45:58,899 really happened with that and I think 3809 02:46:02,040 --> 02:46:00,609 the fader nots the audience is so big a 3810 02:46:04,110 --> 02:46:02,050 lot of people tuned and so I hope 3811 02:46:06,059 --> 02:46:04,120 everyone and you know relates to what 3812 02:46:08,370 --> 02:46:06,069 I'm referring to so as I thought about 3813 02:46:10,860 --> 02:46:08,380 that situation it's like so when they do 3814 02:46:12,210 --> 02:46:10,870 something like that is they're thinking 3815 02:46:13,979 --> 02:46:12,220 you know well we got us enough this 3816 02:46:17,099 --> 02:46:13,989 whole Plane full of people to save this 3817 02:46:20,130 --> 02:46:17,109 server and saved possibly thousands of 3818 02:46:21,900 --> 02:46:20,140 military or government lives because of 3819 02:46:24,330 --> 02:46:21,910 the sensitive information on this server 3820 02:46:26,670 --> 02:46:24,340 so does the means justify the ends and 3821 02:46:30,330 --> 02:46:26,680 they obviously the answer in their mind 3822 02:46:32,580 --> 02:46:30,340 was yes and so that made me think back 3823 02:46:35,790 --> 02:46:32,590 to a conversation that you had with Tom 3824 02:46:38,099 --> 02:46:35,800 DeLonge and I think I don't remember 3825 02:46:42,210 --> 02:46:38,109 exactly how he put it but he was talking 3826 02:46:43,800 --> 02:46:42,220 about how the guys that have been you 3827 02:46:45,179 --> 02:46:43,810 know they get to we all get to go live 3828 02:46:46,830 --> 02:46:45,189 our lives and they're into the heavy 3829 02:46:48,750 --> 02:46:46,840 stuff and we have no idea what they're 3830 02:46:50,969 --> 02:46:48,760 dealing with and they have real hard 3831 02:46:53,280 --> 02:46:50,979 decisions to make and it kind of made me 3832 02:46:55,230 --> 02:46:53,290 go down that road mentally like what was 3833 02:46:57,961 --> 02:46:55,240 he referring to but yet he couldn't talk 3834 02:46:59,640 --> 02:46:57,971 it so does the means of his mind justify 3835 02:47:03,091 --> 02:46:59,650 the ends also because he knows 3836 02:47:05,490 --> 02:47:03,101 supposedly these inside things that they 3837 02:47:07,110 --> 02:47:05,500 have to sacrifice one thing to save you 3838 02:47:09,650 --> 02:47:07,120 know who knows thousands or millions of 3839 02:47:16,051 --> 02:47:09,660 people kind of just got me to thinking 3840 02:47:21,990 --> 02:47:16,061 well what I found and I'm in agreement 3841 02:47:24,660 --> 02:47:22,000 with you in that there's something going 3842 02:47:26,250 --> 02:47:24,670 on here and before we go what wait a 3843 02:47:29,390 --> 02:47:26,260 minute you know I brought up the 3844 02:47:31,591 --> 02:47:29,400 possibility of you know a portal and or 3845 02:47:34,740 --> 02:47:31,601 UFO's I was thinking something 3846 02:47:38,030 --> 02:47:34,750 supernatural paranormal but there was 3847 02:47:41,160 --> 02:47:38,040 when when the second plane was shot down 3848 02:47:44,790 --> 02:47:41,170 there was this is where I had an issue 3849 02:47:47,430 --> 02:47:44,800 so I go back and I looked at Malaysian 3850 02:47:51,150 --> 02:47:47,440 Airlines now before anybody picks apart 3851 02:47:54,511 --> 02:47:51,160 what I'm about to say factually don't 3852 02:47:59,570 --> 02:47:54,521 worry about doing that I did go back and 3853 02:48:03,750 --> 02:47:59,580 look and I think they had at the time 3854 02:48:08,551 --> 02:48:03,760 something like twelve planes right 3855 02:48:13,381 --> 02:48:08,561 twelve or 14 or whatever and we have to 3856 02:48:19,940 --> 02:48:13,391 stop and think about the odds of two 3857 02:48:23,671 --> 02:48:19,950 identical planes for the same airline 3858 02:48:27,801 --> 02:48:23,681 you know and I just thought this is way 3859 02:48:31,500 --> 02:48:27,811 beyond the odds of the known universe 3860 02:48:36,540 --> 02:48:31,510 you know this is like somebody hitting 3861 02:48:38,370 --> 02:48:36,550 the lottery the the mega two weeks in a 3862 02:48:43,320 --> 02:48:38,380 row I mean what are the odds of that 3863 02:48:45,091 --> 02:48:43,330 right and and not only those odds but 3864 02:48:48,900 --> 02:48:45,101 the fact that it came from was such a 3865 02:48:52,381 --> 02:48:48,910 small pool of airplanes it's a very very 3866 02:48:55,020 --> 02:48:52,391 small number and I thought that there's 3867 02:48:57,330 --> 02:48:55,030 got to be a way that these two are 3868 02:49:02,100 --> 02:48:57,340 connected could it have been the same 3869 02:49:04,711 --> 02:49:02,110 plane now when some of the conspiracy 3870 02:49:09,029 --> 02:49:04,721 guys out there that were looking and I 3871 02:49:10,920 --> 02:49:09,039 got tons of email dabbe showing me 3872 02:49:13,590 --> 02:49:10,930 the photographs of the plane and 3873 02:49:15,809 --> 02:49:13,600 different angles of it and things that 3874 02:49:18,989 --> 02:49:15,819 said that it was the same plane that it 3875 02:49:21,149 --> 02:49:18,999 wasn't a different plane I realize that 3876 02:49:22,649 --> 02:49:21,159 I forget one of the guys that was 3877 02:49:25,590 --> 02:49:22,659 presenting this stuff was getting his 3878 02:49:27,149 --> 02:49:25,600 website hacked and and images were 3879 02:49:28,920 --> 02:49:27,159 disappearing I can't remember who it was 3880 02:49:32,489 --> 02:49:28,930 it doesn't really matter she imagined 3881 02:49:34,019 --> 02:49:32,499 that imagine that and so I'm trying to 3882 02:49:36,389 --> 02:49:34,029 chase down this info and every time I 3883 02:49:38,910 --> 02:49:36,399 was getting close to starting to see it 3884 02:49:42,210 --> 02:49:38,920 these images were disappearing in and 3885 02:49:44,300 --> 02:49:42,220 the site was hacked but that's when I 3886 02:49:50,519 --> 02:49:44,310 had to back up and go wait a minute here 3887 02:49:57,269 --> 02:49:50,529 how gullible is this planet that they 3888 02:50:00,809 --> 02:49:57,279 are able to accept that Malaysian Air 3889 02:50:03,120 --> 02:50:00,819 lost two planes like that nearly 3890 02:50:05,790 --> 02:50:03,130 back-to-back and that we're just 3891 02:50:07,649 --> 02:50:05,800 supposed to go ah well you know stuff 3892 02:50:10,920 --> 02:50:07,659 happens you know I want to use another 3893 02:50:16,439 --> 02:50:10,930 word there that it just it just happens 3894 02:50:21,719 --> 02:50:16,449 no it doesn't right but nobody it seemed 3895 02:50:23,719 --> 02:50:21,729 like to me when it came to not only what 3896 02:50:27,359 --> 02:50:23,729 happened in the Ukraine but the original 3897 02:50:29,910 --> 02:50:27,369 Malaysian plane disappearance that there 3898 02:50:32,460 --> 02:50:29,920 were no journalists out there and no 3899 02:50:36,510 --> 02:50:32,470 organizations that were willing to ask 3900 02:50:38,550 --> 02:50:36,520 the very simple basic questions which is 3901 02:50:42,510 --> 02:50:38,560 how do you lose a plane on radar when we 3902 02:50:46,290 --> 02:50:42,520 have worldwide GPS these days that Rolls 3903 02:50:49,950 --> 02:50:46,300 Royce has all of the real-time telemetry 3904 02:50:52,080 --> 02:50:49,960 going back to their company for every 3905 02:50:54,569 --> 02:50:52,090 rolls-royce engine that is running on 3906 02:50:56,819 --> 02:50:54,579 this planet and they are able to look at 3907 02:50:59,040 --> 02:50:56,829 the status of any engine and suddenly 3908 02:51:01,979 --> 02:50:59,050 when a plane disappears they don't have 3909 02:51:04,229 --> 02:51:01,989 that data you know and and these are 3910 02:51:07,319 --> 02:51:04,239 very basic fundamental questions that 3911 02:51:10,050 --> 02:51:07,329 weren't being asked and I was very 3912 02:51:11,910 --> 02:51:10,060 frustrated with that I I didn't 3913 02:51:15,739 --> 02:51:11,920 understand why and I still don't to this 3914 02:51:19,050 --> 02:51:15,749 day why somebody doesn't go back and 3915 02:51:21,510 --> 02:51:19,060 investigate the story that everybody was 3916 02:51:22,130 --> 02:51:21,520 willing to just let it go the search end 3917 02:51:24,469 --> 02:51:22,140 it 3918 02:51:26,240 --> 02:51:24,479 process you know the presses the prep 3919 02:51:28,880 --> 02:51:26,250 the majority of the mainstream media is 3920 02:51:30,620 --> 02:51:28,890 paid off and to suppress these things 3921 02:51:32,960 --> 02:51:30,630 and that's why they arrest people like 3922 02:51:35,000 --> 02:51:32,970 your guests you know they do not want 3923 02:51:37,040 --> 02:51:35,010 the truth coming out about this or Vegas 3924 02:51:38,870 --> 02:51:37,050 and 9/11 or any of it and the minute 3925 02:51:41,269 --> 02:51:38,880 that that story came out of Emory's 3926 02:51:43,099 --> 02:51:41,279 mouth it suddenly I mean number one I 3927 02:51:46,519 --> 02:51:43,109 believe anything that he says because I 3928 02:51:48,260 --> 02:51:46,529 think he's very credible but it just 3929 02:51:54,290 --> 02:51:48,270 kind of made it made so much sense it's 3930 02:51:57,800 --> 02:51:54,300 like whoa well and we have everything 3931 02:51:59,630 --> 02:51:57,810 about 370 with all of those questions 3932 02:52:02,410 --> 02:51:59,640 that are there okay 3933 02:52:05,780 --> 02:52:02,420 there's home there's hundreds if not 3934 02:52:08,330 --> 02:52:05,790 thousands of unanswered questions there 3935 02:52:12,559 --> 02:52:08,340 there's that part when we go back to the 3936 02:52:18,320 --> 02:52:12,569 Ukraine we have the plane we have the 3937 02:52:19,399 --> 02:52:18,330 records and it is in a civilized part of 3938 02:52:22,399 --> 02:52:19,409 this world 3939 02:52:26,000 --> 02:52:22,409 where you had two armies against each 3940 02:52:27,679 --> 02:52:26,010 other and so there's there is the 3941 02:52:31,719 --> 02:52:27,689 weapons on the ground there's the flight 3942 02:52:35,750 --> 02:52:31,729 data there is black boxes there are 3943 02:52:38,990 --> 02:52:35,760 radars we the ability to find out what 3944 02:52:41,899 --> 02:52:39,000 kind of missile and where and who shot 3945 02:52:44,599 --> 02:52:41,909 this plane down that all of this 3946 02:52:48,830 --> 02:52:44,609 investigation and journalism would be 3947 02:52:50,660 --> 02:52:48,840 easy to do and none of it was followed 3948 02:52:55,760 --> 02:52:50,670 through on none of it 3949 02:52:57,530 --> 02:52:55,770 it's that is a crazy crazy situation 3950 02:53:00,800 --> 02:52:57,540 where and the world was just willing to 3951 02:53:03,290 --> 02:53:00,810 just go whatever it was just you know it 3952 02:53:06,250 --> 02:53:03,300 just was shot down and crashed you know 3953 02:53:09,380 --> 02:53:06,260 doesn't matter who did it whatever and 3954 02:53:15,309 --> 02:53:09,390 no ability to go to the crash site if 3955 02:53:18,710 --> 02:53:15,319 you remember right and it seemed to be 3956 02:53:20,960 --> 02:53:18,720 accepted and I was very frustrated with 3957 02:53:22,519 --> 02:53:20,970 that I would I would have thought that 3958 02:53:24,469 --> 02:53:22,529 there would have been an army of 3959 02:53:26,719 --> 02:53:24,479 researchers investigators and 3960 02:53:29,360 --> 02:53:26,729 organizations that would have put up a 3961 02:53:32,719 --> 02:53:29,370 fight and gone in and tried to find out 3962 02:53:35,090 --> 02:53:32,729 the truth but it never happened you know 3963 02:53:35,570 --> 02:53:35,100 so why didn't it was it because it was 3964 02:53:39,051 --> 02:53:35,580 the same 3965 02:53:41,000 --> 02:53:39,061 was it mh370 right was it this crazy 3966 02:53:42,860 --> 02:53:41,010 conspiracy theory that people have been 3967 02:53:46,220 --> 02:53:42,870 talking about well now you know what 3968 02:53:48,740 --> 02:53:46,230 we'll never know we never will 3969 02:53:51,440 --> 02:53:48,750 well let's not forget the CIA is the one 3970 02:53:53,390 --> 02:53:51,450 that created the terms conspiracy theory 3971 02:53:54,860 --> 02:53:53,400 so they did it for a reason you know 3972 02:53:56,240 --> 02:53:54,870 people who want to seek the truth 3973 02:53:58,761 --> 02:53:56,250 there's nothing wrong with that but 3974 02:54:00,320 --> 02:53:58,771 we're not allowed to what we will on the 3975 02:54:02,270 --> 02:54:00,330 internet we searched and we searched but 3976 02:54:03,920 --> 02:54:02,280 then you know we're you know discounted 3977 02:54:06,020 --> 02:54:03,930 with conspiracy theorist but credible 3978 02:54:08,150 --> 02:54:06,030 people like ferret they arrest him and 3979 02:54:10,130 --> 02:54:08,160 look what they did to Tommy Robinson so 3980 02:54:12,410 --> 02:54:10,140 again you know it's it is very 3981 02:54:16,250 --> 02:54:12,420 frustrating you know what was really 3982 02:54:17,450 --> 02:54:16,260 cool tonight with Barrett now I had no 3983 02:54:20,720 --> 02:54:17,460 idea
