men from brad blog dot com hey brad thanks for calling in
are good here date back
so we put on the schedule you working over there
here you're working with overnights l_a_ time
things are just getting completely out of control
ballroom
were always working overnight things are always getting out of control but you
know that
that the life of uh... troublemaker and uh... blogger in a mockery curran
apparently a progressive journalist in this country
i hope my unit is there a
takes takes this guidance from you i can't get him out before noon
and so this is that i don't think i wish he had uh... i want to talk about the
chamber of commerce story that you've gotten personally wrapped up in
with great interest higher ed
entire story in the updates on your blog just get let's start at the beginning i
mean tell us what's going on here
yeah i don't know that i a m pretty extraordinary a story uh... it began
about two weeks
uh... went there
security company by the name of each beat gary this surface so-called cyber
security intelligence firm
uh... announced that they were going to go after another myth through until you
have some experience with yourself david right admin and uh...
they're really said the fifth or the c_e_o_ of h_p_ here his name is erin bar
announced that he was going to expose
some of the uh... members of anonymous
and that they said well no you're not because you have the wrong you don't
know who we are and he said yes we do and they said no you don't will prove it
may basically weddin
uh... were able to
this cyber security firm is uh... website
mind you this secretary firm as government contracts and everything else
in the war on terror
there've about hacked the web
uh... defaced it takeover uh... aaron bars twitter account
remotely wipe out his i've had pickle all of their emails off of the server
off of the backup samantha dot posting
seventy thousand
of those emails pottery i remember the big story i gathered from it was that
there is seen
some coordinated effort
holding h_p_ gary and in in my right in saying some
government agencies in suppressing
wiki leaks
well you know what you're trying to do with it as we learned what these emails
were posted
at its peak gerry was working with two other farms one called palin pure
technologies another call berikut technologies
combined
they were calling themselves came up
and they were working with a a law firm hotmail williams was the name
on behalf of bank of america to grow after which he leaks into just prior to
discredit wiki leaks and uh... journalist
to worry for you know supporting them folks like glenn greenwald over at salon
they were planning to plant
fake documents then to we're working with the same law from hatman williams
with the floors same three are security companies that call themselves team he
missed
to do an almost parallel scheme to go after the perceived enemies
of the u_s_ chamber of commerce and i've found myself on that list
uh... pre much
uh... photographs of me
uh... propriety details about not just me but my family i was in this email has
they were planning to target mater pops up there for certain when you see
details
what kind of d
sales and is do you have to
details that would be izzy is difficult to find out about
uh...
in not necessarily part
ticularly difficulty i suppose in this information age where you can find out
just about anything on anybody
yet but you know it wasn't just on me and helping the power of the uh... you
know home address birthdays thing like that but it wasn't just me
it was members of my family
who have no relation to the work that i do or to the organization uh... that i
work with that founded an organization some years ago called co-founded an
organization called velvet revolution
dot u_s_
and we had set up a campaign
a little more than a year ago cults
the chamber dot com
and the purpose of that campaign was to sort of exposed the u_s_ chamber of
commerce for the
frankly uh... mafia like tactic that they were using
uh... you know for their advocacy in going against a you know people they
disagreed with in trying to uh... forward uh... the notion of uh... uh...
global warming denial is a must
and you know all sorts of right wing causes and when you see there is racism
i think
do you believe that the source of this was just reporting that you've done
recently and that's how you got on the radar
well i think it's
from the uh... stopped the chamber dot com campaign i mean we have been pretty
effective in pretty loud yes
in uh... you know putting out if
about what these guys are doing what they're
three year with the c_e_o_ the chamber of commerce
uh... tom donahue what his background is like
and the dirty dealings frankly that he has been involved with for years
and basically trying to let people go out the connection to the uh... to the
coke brothers
uh... and all that business you know and i wish there was nothing covert about
our campaign we were pretty out front about
you know trying to let folks know
cruel this u_s_ chamber of commerce really was and the type of tactic that
they used
we're currently do you have reason to believe that it was going to go
beyond just the propaganda discredit you thing into i mean
personal surveillance people following you
that type of thing
all right
uh... it they were rather detailed about what they were planning to do they were
going to face
uh... they were going to create
fake per se
in hopes of infiltrating uh... the uh... the uh... chamber of commerce
opportunity for dot com
and another group called u_s_ chamber watch which were set up by it
change to win the union group and they were going to try and uh... make it seem
as if there were some grand conspiracy going on they were talking about
hacking at the networks of the people that by the end of the home that works
for the people involved planting mock malware
all sorts of dirty tricks frankly highly illegal you believe that they will have
legal charges brought against them
i feel like it's a because repeat o_j_ themselves is compromised in this matter
has been recommended robin williams
you know i i have not heard edward from the department of justice i would be
very surprised if they talk any action because
uninteresting really highlights the fact that
big government and big corporations are working together have this pernicious
next
together
where were you know that they feel they have uh... impunity to do anything they
want no matter how you recall whether you have some believe that we're taking
it's incredible looking at action as far as uh... the bar complaint in d_c_ and
potentially upset election
uh... unless
videotape stepped forward and actually you know does to these companies what
david what they would have done it to you or i
had we been up putting together such a clock no question about that
all with you on this story in in a couple of weeks but real quick to you
leave did you fear for your physical safety at this point id you think that
since it's been exposed to hopefully that will be limited apart you know
fearing for my uh... might safety my family's safety
you know i'd have long gone up against you know some pretty insidious into
pretty powerful folks so on used to watching my back but i think that uh...
i think that it's incredibly disturbing to see that
so much of what we warned about so much to what we've been concerned about their
so many years that these folks are trying these thirty tricks
is all documented right here
it's not a conspiracy theory
it's an actual conspiracy anitha damn disturbing disturbing one of that ulcer
drug treatment from brad blog dot com thanks so much brain will follow up with
you
