Anybody know why Barlow was killed? At first glance he doesn’t look too connected to anything. What am I missing?
SecureDrop had a backdoor to bad guys that would then use it to identify who “whistleblowers” and take them out or collect the data being submitted to use to blackmail people, etc.. After this was revealed by “Q” the SecureDrop folks plugged the hack which enabled a remote plugin to be enabled that forwarded all submissions to a remotely configured location.
It he was a spook, there would be little to no trace of his connections.
I was always curious about that, as I always thought of him as one of the good guys, from way back. If he was a good guy, then Q would not have been so cavalier about him being murdered, I would think. If he was a bad guy, I don’t think Q or our side would have murdered him. He’d just be in the brackets. So it’s a mystery. Q indicates something about Russia in connection with him, so maybe there’s a connection that involves Russia.
John Perry Barlow: A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
Barlow was a songwriter for the Grateful Dead. The Grateful Dead had a continuous stream of Masonic imagery and cover art; GD were implicated in the distribution of LSD along the west coast and nationwide through an individual known as Bear, Agustus Stanley Owsley III; was arrested and served a short sentence, then Bear became chief soundman for the Dead for many years.
Anyway, point being there is a lot of evidence pointing at the Dead being connected to C_A. Therefore Barlow was likely connected to C_A. Barlow’s death and Q’s drops suggest he turned to the light and was taken out by the derps as being a loose end. Or because he was promoting the Internet Bill of Rights.
That’s my takeaway.
