John Perry Barlow was an eclectic character who led an eclectic life. He began life in a devout Mormon family in Wyoming, found himself writing lyrics for the cult favorite Greatful Dead rock band in his adulthood, and ended life as an outspoken co-founder and contributor to his Cyberspace freedom organization, the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Barlow's health suffered, considerably, in his later life. He faced several "debilitating health conditions" prior to and following a nearly fatal heart attack in May of 2015. His poor health was no secret: In October of 2016, a "Wellness fund" was established in his name and a concert was held to benefit this fund, both to raise money to pay his outstanding medical bills.
Barlow's was not exactly a household name. It's probably fair to say that very few Freepers had ever heard of him when the controversial, online character "Q" mentioned it in one of his perplexing "drops" on the 8chan Internet forum on January 27th, 2018:
@Snowden.
The clock is ticking
How's Russia?
[Mr. Contractor]
Freedom of the Press.
John Perry Barlow.

NOBODY IS SAFE.
Q
As this drop was made on January 27th, it was quite a bombshell to Q's online following when Barlow passed away on February 7th, 2018; eleven days later. His followers were even more convinced of Q's authenticity as a close insider, or group of insiders of the Trump administration. (Some even theorize that Trump, himself, contributes to the Q drops.)
Barlow's official cause of death has not been released as of this writing, but he is believed to have died of another heart attack.
While the February 7th mention of Barlow's name was Q's first, it was not his last. Q subsequently mentioned Barlow's name on February 11th and the 14th, seemingly to remind his followers of his direct hit.
Q's seeming foreknowledge of John Perry Barlow's death brings with it a few possibilities. If Q knew that Barlow was about to die then he knew that either the Trump administration or the "Deep State" had targeted Barlow for assassination. If Barlow died of natural causes, then Q, knowing his health status, merely guessed correctly that Barlow was near a natural death, yet passed it off in subsequent drops as proof of his "insider" status.
If Barlow was assassinated, as stated above, Q either knew that his side (the Trump administration) was about to have Barlow assassinated or that someone else (the Deep State?) was about to have Barlow assassinated.
If the Trump team had Barlow assassinated, then they should be called on it and people should go to prison. Why would we want to trade one Deep State for another.
If the Trump team knew ahead of time that the Deep State was planning to assassinate Barlow, yet did nothing about it and let it happen, or at the very least, call the Deep State on it and prosecute. Someone from the Deep State should be heading to prison.
This writer is unaware of any reason why either the Trump administration or the Deep State would want John Perry Barlow assassinated. So, the question is asked: Who Killed John Perry Barlow?
I killed John Perry Barlow. I am Spartacus.
You failed to answer your own question.
The question was not whether you thought Q is fake and got lucky.
How’s Russia?
[Mr. Contractor]........
.......was this a cryptic allusion to the several hundred dead Russian ‘contractors’ that as of that date had not been made public?................
Freedom of the Press Foundation was co-founded by Barlow.
The ‘John Titor’ time traveler hoax took off years back when the scammers got lucky with a few predictions.
Q is referring to Edward Snowden. Q is implying that there’s a lot more to Snowden than him being a leaker.
Okay. Snowden is never going to be set free.....................
No. I am Spartacus.

The ‘Dire Wolf’ got him. Perhaps only Dead heads would immediately get that one.

I think your post answered that question:
Barlow's health suffered, considerably, in his later life. He faced several "debilitating health conditions" prior to and following a nearly fatal heart attack in May of 2015. His poor health was no secret: In October of 2016, a "Wellness fund" was established in his name and a concert was held to benefit this fund, both to raise money to pay his outstanding medical bills.
Why would anyone need to kill or assassinate a man who was sickly and on death's door - already with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel? His ill health was not exactly a secret.
Natural causes killed Barlow.
Q is a fake.
He got lucky.
I still don’t know who JPB was....not sure I care
I think he died of natural causes.
I hope he’s not heading to Hell in a Bucket.
Not bad, but Dire Wolf was written by Garcia/Hunter.
Lucky?
That’s stretching luck pretty far, don’t you think?
Time killed Barlow. A damaged heart is a sure-fail. His heart wasn’t his only medical issue. A heart transplant can’t occur if the person isn’t strong enough to survive the surgery. So time killed him. That’s all.
