Barrett Brown

Barrett Brown's heroin can probably be traced back to Mexican drug cartels

God Bless America

Take Hunter S. Thompson and Batman, mix the two, and strip the result of the dignity, inability to give a fuck, and all other redeeming qualities; add the internet and lack of a real job. Welcome to the world of Barrett Brown, a strung out mediocre reporter, and self-proclaimed spokesfaggot for the "Anonymous hacktivist collective" who, despite ongoing attempts, is not a household name. A former author (read, "I wrote two articles, does that mean I work here?") for the "American Atheist", Barrett is no more than, in layman's terms, a self-righteous, opinionated, attention-seeking, cunt. Eventually concluding that big brother and godhatesfags were not enough to shove his agenda towards, Barrett decided to take on drug cartels who have guns and power, with his computer and the effectiveness of a strongly-worded blog.

Zetas irl

Barrett finally received some of the recognition he felt he deserved in 2011 after Anonymous declared "war" on the Zetas, who were underestimated as being a bit more dangerous than the 13-year-olds and ghetto police websites usually targeted by 1337 Anons. Demanding the release of an alleged Anonymous member taken hostage by Zetas (remember, alleged) Brown and buddies threatened to release the names of 75 Zeta enablers that were purportedly collected through "hacked" emails.

[14:14] <@th3j35t3r> okay brown - post the phrase 'I harass innocent people by phone'
[14:14] <@th3j35t3r> on your twitter
[14:14] <BarrettBrown> Sure, after you post "I accuse random people of being criminals"

On one hand, Brown has cartels after him, however, th3j35t3r has done a stellar job of pissing off already-enraged terrorists. Only time will tell.

Downward path of a schizophrenic

	“	@backtracesec Know anything about the man who photographed me repeatedly, up-close after my speech at city hall in NYC, 2011?	„
	—Barrett Brown

07:59:42 <%BarrettBrown> does anyone know about the nut that has been harrassing me for the last 
                         few days?
08:00:06 <%BarrettBrown> apparently i was told by Backtrace Security he was the HB Gary stalker 
                         that photographed me
08:02:39 <%BarrettBrown> i was informed regarding such about the photographer, was the nut known as 
                         BobbyCarbon
08:04:22 <%BarrettBrown> the individual claimed he worked for the Derector of National Intelligence 
                         a few weeks ago.  He apparently called me with a spoofed number. 
08:05:09 <%BarrettBrown> now i have this incident involving the photographer
08:06:01 <%BarrettBrown> and him harassing me last night, regarding Operation Ethiopia
08:06:18 <%BarrettBrown> i am not losing it

08:07:06 <%BarrettBrown> i recently haven't been taking my Risperidone
08:07:48 <%BarrettBrown> and my Subtex for heroiine withdraw
08:08:09 <%BarrettBrown> i'm having massive heroine withdraws now....
08:10:18 <%BarrettBrown> i haven't been taking my suboxone and and risperidone recently
08:12:54 <%BarrettBrown> my psychologist prescribed me risperidone recently to take care of my 
                         schizophrenia diagnosis
08:14:34 <%BarrettBrown> i've been feeling that the FBI is tapping my cell phone recently
08:15:26 <%BarrettBrown> further research into Man Tech and Endgame has lead me to conclude that 
                         they are hiring individuals to photograph and track me
08:16:19 <%BarrettBrown> o
08:16:19 <@SanguineRose> <BarrettBrown> my psychologist prescribed me risperidone recently to take 
                         care of my schizophrenia diagnosis
08:16:23 <@SanguineRose> <BarrettBrown> further research into Man Tech and Endgame has lead me to 
                         conclude that they are hiring individuals to photograph and track me
08:16:41 <%BarrettBrown> i'm going through some massive heroin withdraws too
08:17:38 <%BarrettBrown> suboxone isn't helping me anymore, probably need to get into a methadone 
                         clinic
08:23:33 <%BarrettBrown> my schizophrenia is getting worse i think...
08:25:50 <%BarrettBrown> i'm thinking the FBI is seriously tapping my phone lines now
08:30:26 <%BarrettBrown> but i'm sure Aaron Barr is up to his old tricks to harass me
08:30:33 <%BarrettBrown> with sending photographers....
08:32:57 <%BarrettBrown> anyone here taken risperidone?
08:33:47 <%BarrettBrown> sh4ri4..... was it for schizophrenia?
08:33:52 <%BarrettBrown> i'm taking it now....
