In December 2020 @BarrettB announced the return of Project PM, and afterwards a certain sect announced their intention to "take down Barrett Brown's crew."
We relaunched the @ProjPM wiki in March, and the pushback has been considerable, yet the research continues unimpeded.🤷♂️
Announcing the return of #ProjectPM and the launch of #ProjectSwartz and #ProjectHastings
Video conference from December 19th, featuring Barrett Brown, Lauri Love, @GreggHoush, @SplendidSpoon, @fiondavision, and other old-school #Anonymous

I can’t say I was a whistleblower because nobody gave a shit.
Nobody gave a shit except for those who invested 10 years making sure that nobody listened
Lesson: there’s no margins in defending yourself against false accusations; defensiveness is reframed as admission of guilt
Anybody remember “process democracy?”
What happens when one or two individuals demand transparency and accountability from others but offer none of it for themselves?
What happens when these same individuals fedjacket those who refuse to conform to their authoritarian demands?
People don’t remember what you say, they remember how you made them feel.
This is why it’s dangerous to tell the truth.
If you’re a truth teller, you’re going to encounter a lot of “popular truth tellers” who will do their best to discourage you
Some of them work for the Feds.
This is a reminder that journalist Michael Hastings was murdered by a corporatized extension of the military and intelligence community.
Q: Which one?
A: The one spun up by the same rogue element that Hastings reported upon in Rolling Stone. Duh.

You can use the NIST cyber security framework as a Rosetta Stone for understanding how regulatory controls ultimately map into the same framework
The important thing to remember is that these are fundamentally different philosophical controls relative to frameworks like GDPR.
Most “specialized” cybersecurity frameworks are just expensive rebrands.
PCI DSS. HIPAA. CMMC. NERC CIP. IEC 62443. HITRUST. Different logos. Same DNA.
They’re almost all just ISO 27001 + NIST + CIS Controls with industry lipstick and a compliance tax.
The real specialization? Billing hours and certification fees.
Master the three foundations. Map the deltas.
Everything else is mostly theater.
Stop falling for the framework-of-the-month scam.
If you’re a whistleblower, here’s a warning.
I didn’t know this when I came seeking help:
These circles are filthy with fed collaborators, and they sustain a state of paranoia making it near impossible for *actual advocates* to receive anyone new.
It’s worse than I realized.
When I entered these circles I’d been freshly driven from my professional career after contacting the media with a story I thought mattered - a rookie mistake.
I made a second mistake thinking “independents” like Ron were interested in whistleblower journalism.
I was wrong.

While EZLN ideology is similar to libertarian socialism, the Zapatistas have rejected political classification
The EZLN aligns itself with the wider alter-globalization, anti-neoliberal social movement, seeking indigenous control over local resources, especially land. #LandBack
Ouroboros: the snake eats its tail
Don’t think you’ll be received by a whistleblowing org: you’re ignored unless you have a brand
Chicken and egg: institutional persecution is the only way to establish a brand
Therefore: the institution gatekeeps the domain of whistleblowing
This project (@ProjSwartz) was launched to provide resources and assistance to those who are being harassed by feds, cops, and their collaborators
The @cthulhu_awakens effort has been a good one 💪 and is worthy a follow
lmao this is the same Jonathan Scott who used his troll farm to attempt a manipulation of @Austin_Police and @TxDPS into swatting me a couple months ago, in retribution for highlighting his defense of “Pegasus” spy software that’s placed on trade embargo by the US government 💪
Portland is America’s largest race-segregated city, and it’s filthy with fake leftists who adopt the language of resistance and anti-racism but reveal their true selves as soon as fascism is levied to their benefit
de Beauvoir’s quote is precisely on point ✅

@citizenlab did great and repeatable research on mercenary spyware used by oppressive governments to spy on journalists

Jonathan runs a “trolling for profit” biz defending these governments by running targeted harassment campaigns against their critics
Citizen Lab and Amnesty International have identified a category of spyware used by oppressive government spy upon journalists and activists
citizenlab.ca/2023/04/nso-gr…
As you can see, individuals that call attention to the use of this mercenary spyware are targeted for harassment
