EXPOSED: STRATFOR Insider on Anonymous Payments anonymousabu

SUBJ:
@BarrettBrownLOL paid for STRATFOR cover-up

Ultimately, STRATFOR is guilty of selling passwords to critical servers directly to @AnonymousAbu in exchange for other people's stolen money.

Myself, along with a few others, including Barrett Brown, may be profiting from the cover-up of STRATFOR in exchange for his participation in a prolonged attack on internet freedom. By request of the Pentagon, and as commissioned by a number of mainstream news sources - including FOX News and CNN - this "thinktank" has been asked to document and commentate, since the appearance of LulzSec in April, on an upswing of cyberattacks and cyberpolitical movements surrounding Anonymous which may or may not "lead" to scheduled, governmental crackdown.

@AnonymousAbu claimed fraudulent credit card payments were going to charitable organizations. Account freezes notwithstanding, this is unethical for another reason: not all payments have gone to charity.

In exchange for passwords to STRATFOR servers, STRATFOR insiders such as myself have received *anonymous payments in our bank statements and we have good reason to believe Barrett Brown, too, is receiving these payments, as per a note left on our servers, which were famously hacked on Christmas Eve.

Notably, these "compensations" have originated largely from fraudulent credit accounts in wake of an announcement made by @AnonymousAbu. As a result, a handful of our bank accounts have become "inexplicably" inaccessible - because at first nobody wanted to admit they couldn't access their money after some analysts decided they wanted to keep the money, even after wide speculation had circulated around a number of offices that these fraudulent payments originated from the aforementioned illicit activities of @AnonymousAbu.

In a nutshell, the STRATFOR leaks won't reveal corruption, but that doesn't mean it isn't going on here. I see it all around me.

STRATFOR's opinion of the ongoing cyberwar, if it can really be called that, is one of ambivalence. Much in the same vein as the #occupy protests, consensus says intergovernmental crackdowns on DDoS behavior and password harvesting will inevitably lead to a predicted course of disillusionment in the hacktivist community.

Moreover, it is our opinion now that Barrett Brown, the self-proclaimed leader of anonymous, facilitates corruption of his own movement as well as my counterparts, if not better.

I am just as guilty for accepting stolen money as my counterparts, although I am not directly responsible for compromising the security of my company, as I have no direct contact with our server software.

My only hope now is we don't all lose our jobs just because random payments ended up in our accounts. Many of us were not expecting this. At risk are the livelihoods of lot of innocent people.

Anonymous STRATFOR
