He works for the cia,maybe under deep cover.It disturbs me that
such a
totally discredited organization has writers like stephenson and Tom
Robbins,(Fierce Invalids home...)writing their hiro's (sic) as
agents.This
cia mob couldn't even predict the fall of the Shah of Iran,let alone
9-11.Does tim work for the cia? He May (sic) as well.(sic) He (and
declan)
are both sic(sic) fucks.Damming and diverting crypto anarchy as
best they
can,luckily less attentions being paid to their cruft.

Actually,unless you can run this through a translator,it IS some hand

Stop it Mongo...you'll go blind. Crypto winter has 5 years to go and
