Ever tried to do a simple tarot reading and keep having it come out weird? Yeah, so like that.
Ron is not a Ninja. Ron is, apparently, Asher Wolf. You may wish to get a piece of paper and pen to diagram out this particular post. As always, it gets confusing when the Lamo card is played.
Sorry, Asher, you haven’t got a Ninja Trading Card yet like Ron and Lamo and Me.
First on Friday our old pal Ron goes apeshit on me, gloating about getting my articles edited after the fact (I have to find this out from Ron boasting on Twitter about getting the Daily Dot to eat crow? Imagine my joy). Then on Saturday, internet privacy activist and Cryptoparty founder Asher Wolf decides that doxing Barrett Brown‘s ex-girlfriend is a moral imperative. Why? Because, since Asher can’t find any record of her online prior to 2011, she must be a Fed plant.
Let’s review that: because someone leaves no tracks online, a leading internet privacy activist decides she is ipso facto an FBI plant.
As part of the pointless #DramaSec (my coinage, thank you, and you may Paypal me five bucks every time you use it if you wish. And why not? Times are tough chez raincoaster lately), Asher publicized a Pastebin someone had made of a Facebook thread in which BB’s ex and her friends, including me, basically went “what the actual fuck, Asher?” It’s not rocket science; nor is it spywork. It is ludicrous, my friends.
This of course inspired my own Facebook thread, which is reproduced here for fans of pointless, internecine internet drama. Once again, I find myself saying:
Eyes on the prize, people. Is this making the world a better place?

Lorraine Murphy And their sentient dog.

Griffin Boyce Protip: set up a pastebin alert for your name and pseudonym.
-
Griffin Boyce I got sent that pastebin before it was even added to search because Pastebin is set up awesomely.
-
Andrew Blake Can you show it to me pls. Assuming its the one I’m in
-
Griffin Boyce It’s weaksauce. She thinks she found something. Oy.
-
Andrew Blake Good. I was HILARIOUS in there.
-
Andrew Blake I’ve been laughing about my Tor comment all day.
-
Lorraine Murphy It was a good one.
-
Lorraine Murphy But if sentient plants are among us…big news!
-
Lorraine Murphy Asher can be brilliant, but what the actual fuck has gotten into her lately? Way to keep your eyes on the prize, Super Internet Activist. Yes, JENNA is the problem.
-
Andrew Blake She can be brilliant? I didn’t know that was a result of retweeting half of the Internet. Weird. :X

Jenna DeVille LOLOLOLOLSee Translation
-
Jenna DeVille i can only believe someone leaked it to show her how absurd she is being but yanno, who knows.
-
Griffin Boyce Apply cool water to burned area.
-
Lorraine Murphy Everyone in Vancouver is going “What the fuck, Lorraine?”
-
Jenna DeVille lololol
-
Jenna DeVille what… seriously what is her deal. like… my location? are you kidding? why?? what the hell???
-
Lorraine Murphy Yep, she’s narrowed it down to: You’re a hippie in Montana, you’re an Old in Louisiana, or you’re somebody else in Texas. Oh, and you are FROM Texas.
-
Jenna DeVille LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
-
Andrew Blake omg omg omg omg
-
Andrew Blake i just IRL LOL’d on rustle league radio
-
Andrew Blake and then everyone else did too when i said why
-
Jenna DeVille LOLOLOLOLSee Translation
-
Lorraine Murphy There’s a Rustle League Radio? Oh please tell me there are MP3’s. I need some good quality lols after yesterday and today.
-
Lorraine Murphy I bet those poor women in Montana, Louisiana and Texas get SWATted at the same time as the poor tenant at the place I’ll be living in soon. I posted pix with the address on my blog and I bet Ron has been googling “how to RCMP” since yesterday.
-
Carol Leonard · Friends with Matthew Ross FunkOH FFS….a copy/pasta bin. seriously? why thats hardcore PROOF, ofc.
-
Adrián Lamo · Friends with Andrew Blake and 11 othersAsher’s usually pretty sharp in my experience. Just somewhat extremist in the things she elects to hang her hat on. Somewhat surprised she was the one to go all Ron Bryn on us.
Captive of her own narrative mythmaking here though. I bet she was the kind of kid who refused to reset Zork and just give it another go when she got stuck. -
Andrew Blake IRL lil
-
Andrew Blake Lol. Lil lol.
-
Griffin Boyce she accused Jenna of being in Scientology. She’s just pulling stuff out of her ass at this point.
-
Griffin Boyce I have a better relationship with my ‘enemies’ than she has with her ‘allies’
-
Andrew Blake wait wut
-
Andrew Blake (again)
-
Griffin Boyce fer srs
-
Adrián Lamo · Friends with Andrew Blake and 11 othersKeep your enemies close, but keep your allies compartmentalized.
-
Jenna DeVille I know what her theory is now. I agreed not to share. It’s pretty funny.
-
Jenna DeVille STAY TUNED
-
Jenna DeVille Asher is a feminist when it suits her, and an Activist when it suits her. Never if it’s inconvenient.
Here is a quote from someone who knows her: “The one thing about Asher is that she is trolled easily. She also has issues with men & is a major adve…See More -
Lorraine Murphy Griffin Boyce exactly. A university professor in an unnamed foreign country emailed me to say “what’s going on with her, aren’t you Asher’s biggest booster?” Doxing someone seems like such a peculiar choice for a privacy activist. I feel a post coming on…
-
Jenna DeVille yeah it is extremely interesting. i do wonder sometimes if the same person who was behind a lot of my troubles/rumors from the start is not encouraging her. if not, she’s doing it all on her own and wow my head just exploded i can no longer type
-
Lorraine Murphy She’s not doing it on her own. I’ve known her a long time, and this feels like someone gave her a crumb and she’s worried it into a mountain. OH ALSO she thinks the fact she can’t find traces of you online before 2011 means you must be a Fed. Also a b…See More
-
Lorraine Murphy She was very kind to me when I had that trouble with Christine Assange (now all better, thank GOD) and I can’t reconcile that person with this person.
-
Jenna DeVille That same person gave other people crumbs, if it is who i am thinking of, which led to a lot of things. that person is bad person to listen to about anything, but she’ll find that out soon enough.
yeah i have no IDEA what her boner for me is, at least its somewhat funny. -
Lorraine Murphy I’ll be doggone disappointed if nobody pastebins this one.
-
Jenna DeVille ok um… trying to think of something shocking to type but idk
-
Lorraine Murphy Well, there was nothing shocking in the last one either.
-
Jenna DeVille Adrian Lamo convinced me to get Barrett Brown raided while we were at the bar at applebee’s eating mozz sticks and drinking long islands. at first i was like lol no, but then he worked his flawless aspergers-soaked charm/sense of humor/social engineering skills on me and before you know it: raided. before that my salad came though it was really good.
-
Jenna DeVille make sure this gets in the pastebin: http://www.applebees.com/To celebrate our new mobile app, Applebees free Android or Blackberry Smartphone…See more
-
Jenna DeVille our server btw that evening was Griffin Boyce
-
Lorraine Murphy Why wait for Pastebin? I think this is my blog post material.
-
Jenna DeVille LOL AN ****EXCLUSIVE*****
-
Griffin Boyce you said boner
-
Jenna DeVille LOL I KNOW HEHE
-
Jenna DeVille now my defo not a stalker has shown up in the comments, i think he thinks its a serious news report. idk how this whole thing could get lulzier but it keeps getting better.
12/10 WOULD READ AGAIN
Everybody loves dramasec
A++ would be doxed by raincoaster anytime. ;-)
Also, the low quality of the cards makes me sad. I’ll have to make some better ones sometime.
Is there money in it?
I ripped these off Twitter, so they aren’t great. I can hardly wait till they’re in commercial production.
See this? http://ensemble.va.com.au/Treister/HEXEN2/HEXEN_2.html
griffin the highlight of this article for me personally was your quote: “you said boner”
I’m a god damn poet.
u no it
this is the best circle jerk comment thread i have seen this evening. thank you sir and ma’am.
My favorite part of this whole thing is ” LOLOLOLOLSee Translation”
OH MY GOD I KNOW wtf facebook?!

They speak pirate, but not LOL, clearly.
Comment over at the Julian Assange Fancier’s Guild:
“Ahahah! You should start a YouTube-based TV series of this outburst of drama, every episode a sketch where the different characters recites their FB/Twitter/Chat message! So you could also monetize on that. Someone playing Griffin who says in a shakespearean manner, deep voice and arm stretched out, “You said boner!”… you would be rich in like no time <3<3<3"
My reply:
"I always picture Griffin like that, actually. For Lamo, we can get the guy who played the Count on Sesame Street. Jenna is definitely played by Emma Stone. The part of Asher Wolf will be played by an Australian volcano."
lol i can see that. emma stone is flattering. i cannot wait.
