#FreeBB #FreeAnons On December 4, 2012 Barrett was indicted by a federal grand jury on twelve additional counts related to data from the Stratfor breach. Regarding the late-2011 hacking of the intelligence firm Stratfor by elements of Anonymous, Mr. Brown wrote on December 26, 2011, “Stratfor was not breached in order to obtain customer credit card numbers” and voiced his opinion that “this aspect of the operation…should be scrutinized and criticized as necessary.” Despite his lack of direct involvement in the operation and stated opposition to this aspect, he faces these charges for the alleged mere act of pasting a hyperlink into an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) channel. Over a month before the event he even praised Stratfor on Twitter as “one of the better intel tanks.” On January 23rd, 2013 he was indicted a third time on two more counts, relating to the March 2012 FBI raid(s) on his apartment and his mother’s house. Barrett has pleaded not guilty in all three cases. He is currently incarcerated while awaiting trial in Mansfield, TX. At this critical time, with such a prominent internet activist facing an extremely difficult legal battle and uncertain future, he needs our unwavering help and support. We encourage you to donate to his defense, so that he may have the resources he needs to fight these charges. Your prospective contribution has significance in a wider campaign for free speech and transparency both on the internet and across the world.
