"To escape criticism - do nothing, say nothing, be nothing." - Elbert Hubbard
As you may have clocked - I have been 'dark' (with regard to speaking publicly)
now for 9 days. I am afraid this has been a necessary course of action. It's
called OPSEC and something that operators such as me take very seriously. With
this in mind, I would like to take this opportunity right here and now to
convey my heartfelt thanks to all who have taken time out to send 10's of
thousands of messages in support myself, and my actions, including mainstream
newsmakers and individuals alike. I am not going to name names (OPSEC again)
but you all know who you are and I 'hoorah' you.
Now, as I stated above, I have been 'dark' but have had eyes-on the situation
as it changes hour by hour, and there's a couple of issues that I'd like to
address.
I will cover the following topics, and in true Wikileaks style, drip-feed you,
milking it for for all it's worth ;-) ahem lol.
* The Imposter Saga
* The difference between a DDOS and a DOS - as it has become clear people seem
to think XerXes (wrongly) is a botnet??
* Script Kiddie? - Okay download XerXes and send it to me? Okay ya can't - Why?
Cuz it exists in one place. Here. With me.
* Message to 4Chan - TBA ('moot

' point)
* Message to Assange - TBA
* Cutting the Head off the Snake
Part 1: The Imposter Saga
So some genius last week decided to try and cash in on my (questionably) good
name. In an awesome display of truly inspired intellect, this individual
decided to create a twitter account (@th3j3st3r - notice the subtle difference
in spelling) and even registered the domain name (th3j35t3r.net). Under the
twitter account he posted a link to a counterfeit blog that looked uncannily
like my own, and on it claimed that I had been arrested by errr the local
Sheriff (lol) and since released without charge but still needed to raise (a
measly) $10K for a legal defense fund.- PS you were released without charge -
why do you need a defense fund?
I approached this person via DM and kindly pointed out that he has just made
himself a huge target, especially by registering a domain name, and by clearly
not having any kind of situational awareness, will be found, and they will
think you are me. He immediately (not by my request) pointed his domain to this
blog. Fool.
I would like to categorically clarify:
* This individual was not me nor acting for me, and it is my belief that this
guy just wanted to make a quick buck on the back of my name. So to the
Jihadists out there that want me dead: Don't go after this idiot.
* As has been stated over the last 12 months many times. I do NOT require any
financial donations, will never ask for any, and if, as in last week's debacle,
it ever again appears I have asked for donations, look carefully at the facts:
It will not be me begging for cash. Ever.
* XerXes will NEVER be released, not even via Wikileaks. ;-)
Here's a link to the only journalists that got their shit right on this one:

Standby for more in due course......
Stay Frosty.
