really offsets
speaking of their corporate media for the first time I think
in the New York Times for any major
daily publication there's been
in extensive piece on barrett Brown those %uh view
who from listen to the
audio we had up the fundraiser
that I am. seed for barrett Brown
and Jeremy Hammond a couple weeks ago a
hopefully no about barrett Brown now he
is a journalist who
hofer day the
arco authored a book flock of Dodos behind modern creationism
intelligent design in the Easter Bunny in 07 he went on to write
quite a bit about an anonymous in The Guardian in Vanity Fair and Huffington
Post
he was a good friends Michael Hastings
he sometimes I think was back
in 2009 12 yr 2011
start something called Project p.m. I
which was dedicated to you
I am reporting on the national security establishment
the back in 2011
I barrett Brown
posted a link to the emails that were hacked
from strap for global intelligence they were hacked by anonymous they were
posted on Wikileaks
barrett Brown posted a link
frankly I don't even know that we didn't give
for sure for sure I i mean i
wound look back in in CE posted a link in a chat room for project p.m. I might
not have
I don't know I don't remember I mean I I don't know at the time
I we did or didn't I mean regards whether we did or not
I the I doubt he was the only one I i doubt it
he was charged with 12 counts
are related to identity theft because apparently in those links
in the hacked the emails were our credit card numbers
I love people who I guess we're
clients a strat for a global intelligence maybe got their newsletter
I
three have those twelve counts were related to his
I for one was a threat up an FBI officer that he posted on YouTube
because he was upset that the FBI
had raided his moms house two were obstruction of justice counts
but so you have the vast majority of those counts nine were related to
is posting Ave link because it provided access to data stolen from the company
Stratfor Global Intelligence to include the in excess of 5,000 credit card
account numbers
the cardholder's identification information often take a
today often taken to cation
I can say that word features for the credit cards I am
authentication thank you authentication are brown has not been in
any way implicated in the theft to those things and
%uh david Kerr the New York Times rightly
draws a parallel that draws from other news organizations link to store
information frequently
he said last week the New York Times The Guardian a pro policía
collaborate on a significant article by the National 30 average to defeat
encryption technologies
the article was based on in LinkedIn who documents that were stolen by average
noted
so this guy is now in jail facing up to a hundred and five years
there is a gag order on him
from talking about his case a while in prison
and what's also stunning good for
and I guess ed Pilkington wrote about this in the Guardian
as well some last week
but its stunning this silence from journalists about this
it's just stunning
and I you know it
heey it falls somewhere template with a Edward snowden Indian frankly
Bradley Manning as well journals have no problem
using this information they have no problem writing about the information
that was a
found by these leakers I in this case her background is not
been accused have doing anything like leaking
all he did was link two stolen documents
that were posted on Wikileaks we know from the Bradley Manning trial
that the government is not perceived differences supposedly between WikiLeaks
in the New York Times
in terms of the publication of these materials
and this guy was doing he certainly had bought a few days that
would constitute a
the fact that is journalist its Cisco it is quite stunning
that we don't hear more of an outcry from the journalism profession
