They both tried to use one another to further their attacks on others, and it looks like it’s blowing up in their faces, bigtime. that said, Neal did not approach *her.* She approached Neal after being rebuffed by Devine and Barrett Brown. She wanted him as a go-between.

It should also be noted that while she was telling Tom Ryan that she was helping him ‘investigate’ Neal, she was clearly assisting Neal in his revenge attacks. For the last two days she’s been proclaiming Neal’s innocence to all and insisting he was set up in some ridiculous conspiracy that just happens to involve people they both dislike.

Wait, really, does anyone believe Rauhauser? We’ve all read his material in links here, and they are wildly inconsistent. Why would the FBI use him?

I’ve suspected both NR and BK of being informants or freelance operatives of one agency or another.

There’s indication that BK was an informant going back to his marijuana days and it also seemed strange the passes he got and gets by both LE and the Court system for his shenanigans.

Almost as if he had a “guardian” angel that would “interface” with various functionaries that had oversight of his cases and interactions with those who were critical of him and would’ve brought the attention of others if they were not demonized and marginalized by officialdom.

To most judges, BK’s actions would mostly be mild irritations and since none (except of course his original felonies) of his actions were causing “real” damage, could be overlooked and justified for official inaction. I’m sure Aaron and others would have a different view as to the damage but judges are separated from reality by quite a few steps and the influence of a “bureau” or “agency” could be sufficient to sway their “opinion”.

His position with certain factions of Occupy and other assorted Leftist/anarchist groups could provide some intel of value to those who want to know who’s talking to who about what. That’s why he’s got that sweet setup as a non profit. Easy way to funnel money to him or through him to others, that’s difficult to track back and what they seem to very protective of.

False flag ops and hidden conduits for cash, wouldn’t be the first time government’s done something like this and protected the shady characters running it, now would it?

As to Rauhauser. Seems he’s an eMoby at the least. Maybe he’s not actively aiding in anyone’s investigations but they may be observing him so see if he stirs anything up. (like barrett brown’s diatribe)

His shunning by the online community could be the best result to be hoped for.

Rauhauser obviously suffers from some pathology, but it is impossible to ignore the frequency with which he appears in the vicinity when some of these things occur. Hasn’t every non-celebrity who has been “SWAT-ted” in the last two years been either the object of Rauhauser’s ire or at odds with Kimberlin or some other associate?

And Barrett Brown? He was a sad kid who just wanted to be somebody with his limited skill set. Add Rauhauser to stir vigorously and he ends up in federal custody.

As Ian Fleming wrote, “The first time, it’s happenstance. The second might be coincidence. But the third must be direct enemy action.” Too many coincidences with Neal. The FBI ain’t that dumb. He should have chosen to fool around with the TSA instead.

I think your hunch is spot on. As to the identity of said guardian angel, his wealthy aunt comes to mind. Her name escapes me at the moment, but Stacy did a post on her.

Neal Rauhauser is a snitch? It would explain a lot.

You mean this piece about Harriet Crosby?

This is true. I think that’s quite apparent at this point.

If I had to guess – and it is only speculation – I would think Neal may have avoided trouble at some point by being “helpful” and since thinks himself able to manipulate the Feds. He has likely provided them more information inadvertently than by intent. Yet he still thinks himself in charge of the relationship.

His big advantage isn’t any control over the FBI, but the fact he is just too darned small a fish to be worth their time, despite the grief he causes others.

And given such examples of unequal justice as the David Gregory non-prosecution it’s hard to blame them for that mindset.

The police are not to be trusted.

One I can see, BOTH using the same basic reasoning…seems fishy.

Going by the Ian Fleming rule quoted above by Adjoran, we’ll have a pretty good idea what’s going on if it happens again.

Stacy must have struck a nerve, because I’m getting spam with links to altnet “from” Stacy today. I know Stacy didn’t really send it, but this is what the lame impersonator troll does routinely when it gets a bug in its ass over something.

You’re welcome.
