Me = Barrett Brown
Patrick = Patrick Frey, LA county prosecutor and conservative
blogger Patterico
In this chat, Frey accepts offer by alleged criminal mastermind
Barrett Brown to have Anonymous operatives reduce the visibility of a
blog post by Jeff Goldstein, a "classical liberal" blogger, academic,
and Frey foe who runs ProteinWisdom.com. Brown agrees to look into the
matter. Further conversations may be released as appropriate. As
noted, this leak is being conducted in retaliation for Frey's failure
to readily answer questions about a possible connection between
Confederate/white nationalist Washington Times editor Robert Stacy
McCain and the HBGary criminal organization as well as Frey's decision
to publicly attack an RNC protester who was arrested in possession of
a weapon, with the final straw being R.S. McCain's latest attack on
Brown, whom the author and conservative stalwart denounced in public
as deserving of FBI attention in 2011 - before later claiming instead
that Brown is in fact an FBI informant based on his own
misunderstanding of facts known even to many reporters who have
covered Anonymous in the last few years. Frey is also the target of
legal action due to another incident involving a different activist
who is being represented by Jay Leiderman, the "Anonymous lawyer" who
has secured pro-bono legal defense for more than a dozen other
citizens who have been raided or charged by the feds since late 2010.
Journalists interested in further details, as well as the bizarre
connection between this and the "SWAT" story from earlier this year,
may as always contact Barrett Brown at barriticus@gmail.com

Patrick: Google Patrick Frey
One of his bullshit posts is on the first page
12:41 AM me: I'm assuming it's transparent BS, though, of the sort
that anyone who matters can see through?
I'll look though
meanwhile I'm getting off opiates
decided to make my old heroin addiction public
to avoid it being revealed by someone else
12:42 AM Patrick: No, it's a link to another post that would take
hours to debunk even though it's utter bullshit
me: oic
Well
That can be changed
by one of several methods
12:43 AM Patrick: Oh?
me: yep
I'll have to think a bit about details
you need to remember
and this is something I don't say publicly
NYT just refers to me as "Barrett Brown," for instance
others as "informal spokesman"
12:44 AM Anonymous has no leaders
or titles
but certain people have more influence than others
now, should note, I'm not talking about anything illegal
I don't commit crimes
12:45 AM off the top of my head, though
hmmm
let me Google goldstein real quick
hmm
12:46 AM Goldstein has top three results as positive references,
plus one referring to someone else with same name
then Sadly No piece
which you really should read, by the way
it can be changed such that top result is an article by mee
Patrick: Oh, I have read it
me: on Encyclopedia Dramatica
detailing everything
now
12:47 AM obviously a direct approach would not wokr
as in, a bargain whereby he deletes or allows you to respond
within the post
he won't accept that
most people would
but most people aren't already fucked
in case I'm being cryptic
I'll note that on a couple of occasions I have had employers who
owed me money
and refused to pay up
12:48 AM until such time as I made it such that the top result for
their name was an account of their flaws and failures
oh, you may have seen what I did to my girlfriend's faggot roommate
MCCain and Donald Douglas both ran the video
I took it down after he moved out
again, though, not likely to work
but Darleen Click
she probably wouldn't like it if I were to reveal
12:49 AM that she asked me for favors
Patrick: ?
me: help getting into Mad Magazine, lol
I've got the e-mails
understand that I am considered a great villain over there
Patrick: Oh, for her cartoons?
me: and she folded like a fucking umbrella as soon as I offered help
being a person of no real virtue
12:50 AM yeah, her "cartoons"
not very talented, regardless of the politics
ham-fisted
that's just something to consider in terms of relevant elements, thoguh
lemme google you real quick
12:51 AM I may have to bring some specialists in on this
Patrick: Hm
12:53 AM me: sorry, fucking GF bitching at me on IM, just ignoring her now
Patrick: Fucking GF!
me: damn right
oh, Douglas hates you too?
oh
12:54 AM oh shit
over McCain!
okay, dude, we're gonna get this taken care of
fucking Douglas
Patrick: The Donalde?
12:55 AM me: yeah
Patrick: Yeah
me: fucking douche
disingenuous
I really respected you for being honest about McCain
because most are't
might hurt the precious cause
12:56 AM Patrick: I've tried to mend fences with McCain. I don't
think he's necessarily a bad man. I have not retracted and
never will retract my belief that the statement I criticized him
for was racist. But I still don't know that he is A
racist. Full disclosure
me: I mean, I know you don't know all of it
I don't dislike him
we talk occasionally
I talk to most of my enemies
but, yeah, he has some beliefs that he won't admit to
Patrick: Do I fall in that category? :)
I don't think so
12:57 AM me: well, he did write that article for American Renaissance
now, the article itself is not anti-black
Patrick: Not so sure about that
me: remember that I'm not a liberal
I don't cry racism over nothing
and I don't refer to him as racist
Patrick: I researched his kids and I think it didn't quite add up
me: dude
I'm from Texas
Patrick: The number of kids he had, that is
me: wait, what?
12:58 AM Patrick: The American Renaissance article
me: no, that was him
Patrick: The person who wrote it talked about how many kids he had
me: he hasn't said otherwise himself
Patrick: Wasn't it under a pen name?
me: yes
the one he used elsewhere
I put this in my book, man
Patrick: I don't think it's the same number of kids
me: it went through fact checkers and lawyers
well
how many did they mention in article?
12:59 AM it appeared in 2002
some of his kids are young
and it might have been written earlier
suffice to say
that he himself has all but acknowledged it was him
Patrick: I think I tried to figure out when they were born
me: I didn't realize others thought that was under dispute or I
would have made the case more plainly
Patrick: But I forget the details
me: like I said, we confirmed it
can't rememeber how
1:00 AM but it was good enough for the lawyers and fact-checkers
anyway
yeah, the guy is just overly pro-white
I don't really care
I'm not concerned about the extent to which someone is into his
racial heritage, etc
that's small beer
1:01 AM it''s just that he also makes accusations of racism
and so have a lot of his colleagues
without acknowledging this
it's the dishonesty that infuriates me
anyway
back to the matter
assuming this Donald Douglas article isn't damaging
1:02 AM I'm assuming that, I mean
agreed?
oh, ok
just noticed that Jeff's piece is #2
1:03 AM I see
pseudo-sarcastic charge of Semitism
Protein Wisdom specialty
well, for one thing
as you're aware, to the extent that something else pushes it
down, it gets... pushed down
1:04 AM to the extent you break some stories from those e-mails
that will help
but
that's not enough
I'd like to see Jeff beaten more severely
might have to think this over
talk to my Anons, etc
1:05 AM there's always a way
1:06 AM Patrick: Hm
As long as any way is legal, I'm all for it
me: well
1:07 AM what if it's legal...
but
Patrick: Do I need to hear the rest?
me: nope
Patrick: There you go
It's legal, you say? Great!
me: Good man
Hooray!
Yeah, we'll get on this

My question for readers is why did LA country prosecutor Patrick Frey carry on a correspondence with anarchist and FBI target Barrett Brown, who was raided by FBI in March and who has been referred to by intelligence outfits like Imperva as a member of the LulzSec crime syndicate? What else went on between them?
Los Angeles and Frey's conservative readership alike deserve answers to these questions, which I will provide over the next few days.
