Super-Geniuses: U.S. Chamber Plotter & Breitbart's OWS 'Snitch' Team Up


U.S. Chamber's Disgraced Smear Plot Conspirator, 'Anonymous' Foe, Aaron Barr Found Collaborating with Self-Appointed #OccupyWallStreet 'Snitch'

Apparently, disgraced former HBGary Federal CEO Aaron Barr just can't help himself.

The guy who lost his job and was publicly humiliated after promising to reveal the identities of the supposed leadership of hacktivist group Anonymous and getting caught devising a plan to illegally discredit, defraud and spy on perceived opponents of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Bank of America is now palling around with a self-appointed NYPD/FBI "snitch" at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations and beyond, according to --- ironically enough --- emails accidentally released on the Internet by the "snitch" himself, Thomas Ryan.

These two are the government corporate welfare queens and "cyber security" clowns that can't shoot straight, it seems. But at least they have each other --- and your tax-payer dollars --- as they both work for highly remunerated, government contracted security firms. And while they each claim to represent different sides of the partisan aisle, strangely enough, as an investigation by The BRAD BLOG reveals, they've found common ground in representing government and corporations in their fight against We, the People.

(One of those fights, in the case of Barr, included the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's plot to target me and my family with with publicly-funded tools originally created for the "War on Terror". It was a fight that would cost Barr his job, his company's reputation, but little else to these anti-American Masters of the Universe)...

1. The turncoats are with us always
For a few crumbs from the master's table, folks like Barr and Ryan will happily sell out everyone else. As wanton and horrible as the activities of the elites are, at least they have the bad excuse of getting obscenely rich while people starve, homeless and naked. Barr and Ryan aren't getting wealthy, or really even rich. They'll serve their purpose right up until the second their masters are no longer amused by their clowning, and then they'll get the same treatment as the rest of us, made worse, perhaps, by their own delusions of adequacy.

I'll wave to you on your way down, boys. Until then, keep telling yourselves that you matter.

4. America has always had internal enemies
...this is the latest crop of losers in that category.

But America is far greater than their scuzzball Republicon Family Cesspool Values & Tactics.

3. There is a bill in Congress to fully investigate the possible
role of Government Agencies in that HBGary scandal revealed by Anonymous. Apparently they were working for Bank of America when they decided to spy on Americans, like Glenn Greenwald eg.

Maybe they should stick to non-spy work, they just can't seem to stay 'undercover' for very long.

Let's hope Anonymous is watching them again.

8. Rep. Hank Johnson
asked Congress for a full investigation into the HBGary, NSA, BOA efforts to destroy Wikileaks. He was disburbed about the possible involvement of the DOD. Sorry, I mispoke, it was not a bill, but a demand to Congress for an investigation. You are probably aware of his efforts already. I wrote about it at the time here:

Haven't heard anything more since.

13. Thanks for that. You did an excellent job on that story
Those two are like a comedy act, if what they are doing wasn't so criminal. As you pointed out in your article, though, they are above the law, like Breitbart and O'Keefe. It's become much clearer now why those fools are allowed to continue with their moronic stunts which should be an embarrassment to their bosses. But then, what other kind of scum could they get to work against their own fellow citizens?

His denial didn't amount to much. And what was he doing in Zoccotti Park with Blue Hair? You would think after the crushing defeat he suffered at the hands of Anonymous after all his boasting, he would be reluctant to appear in public again. And these are the foot soldiers of who is running things in this country.
