Right-Wing Rabble-Rouser Leaks Thousands of Occupy Wall Street Emails
Gawker

<snip>

Conservatives really have a hard-on for "infiltrating" Occupy Wall Street in an effort to discredit it. Now a computer expert has leaked thousands of emails from Occupy Wall Street organizers and told us he's identified members of the hacktivist collective Anonymous involved in the protest.

Tom Ryan is a New York-based computer security expert who runs a tiny New York-based outfit called Provide Security, which he boasts on his blog is a "team of the most-highly trained and capable physical, threat and cyber security professionals in the world." He's best known for using fake social media profiles of a pretty lady to compromise the security of high-level military and intelligence officials. Ryan and his computer buddies have been waging a months-long campaign to infiltrate and "map the ties" of the hacktivist collective Anonymous, which has had a hand in organizing the protest.

Yesterday Ryan leaked what he said were more than 3,900 emails sent to an Occupy Wall Street mailing list called September17discuss. Now they're being used by conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart to smear the movement. The emails show that Occupy Wall Street is a "conspiracy to 'destabalize' Global Markets," Breitbart says! (You can see the email archive here.)

In a phone interview, Ryan sounded similar notes of conspiracy. He claimed that members of the hacktivist collective Anonymous are secretly calling the shots in the Occupy Wall Street movement, provoking police violence and waging a concentrated effort to spread misinformation. He said that the supposedly peaceful organizers were secretly violent. And, because no right-wing smear is complete without a terrorism connection, Ryan adds in a blog post that he had seen Occupy Wall Street posts on the Al Qaeda recruitment forum Shamuk and Al-Jahad.

What's more, Ryan says he's identified the members of Anonymous behind Occupy Wall Street.

2. Sounds like the right has contracted out their spying like they

started doing in the Reagan administration (with private companies compiling info from and working with police intelligence units to spy on dissidents) to give the govt. deniability. I wonder who is paying for this (our taxes? or the 1%?). Funny how the Tea Party never had to worry about infiltration.

4. Show us or it didn't happen.

Bunch repugnant assholes front for even more repugnant assholes.

5. Ever heard of HB Gary?

Project much Tom Ryan? Tom, we're not the order taking types. We understand that that's the way you and fellow authoritarian types think and act, but not us. We don't need shadowy leaders directing us. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that that's just for rank and file wingnut consumption. So you're just constructing a plot they can relate to because they'd find it impossible to empathize with, or even conceptualize, anything truly democratic. Still, it's laughable stuff.

Secondly, ever heard of HB Gary? That was the last 'crack security' outfit that took on Anonymous. You want to poke that hornet's nest with a stick, do you? Have at it 'tiny New York-based outfit called Provide Security'. Should I go ahead and look up that address or... nahh... I'm sure someone's all over that. Tom Ryan, I think you can 'expect them' soon.
