BAD CHEMASTRY: WHEN CHLOROFORM AND "MONOXIDE" CLASH

When I get an e-mail, pm, im, or lately, dvd,s flash memory cards and even hard drives, and they begin with "please do not tell...." I know things are going to be interesting.

Lately, this is exactly what has been happening.

History, in my case, has actually been repeating itself. Around two years ago or so, there was dissent in the ranks of a few that were umm "causing problems." I started to get instant messages and e-mails, most of which would start "please do not tell....who I am.....where you got this, etc. " and would contain the most interesting secrets about the so called trouble maker.

Things progressed rather quickly to the point where I wound up with two pc's and a lap top. the latter being purchased from it's owner.

Needless to say all contained some rather personal and potentaly damaging information about a large number of posters on message boards and presumably PRIVATE forums.

For some strange reason, people are naieve enough to believe that when they log into a PRIVATE message board, forum,chat or blog, that their comments and other information will remain private.

History, over the last two months has repeated itself. Up until a few weeks ago, I was getting mostly e-mails, pm's, the occasional phone call, and even a number of dvd's.

That all changed, however, when I recieved offers of entire pc's either free or for next to nothing. I was a bit startled at these offers until I was able to take the "seller's" offers and began to see just what was on these machines (a total of 9 to date and more to get). It turns out the information contained within these things were more useful and understandable when obtained complete rather than individual files as I had been getting in the past.

I was able to combine my "shopping sprees"with other concerns on my recent travels to pick these devices up.

About now, everyone is scratching their heads and wondering why someone would go to the trouble of:

A: Send me this stuff and offer to give or sell real cheap,their devices.

B: traveling TO where these devices are located and also meet "interested parties" that have to do with some questions I have been trying to get answered for some time.

There is actually more than one answer to A; The primary answer is that for reasons of their own, the individuals have decided it is in their best interest to "come clean" and be rid of the device one way or another.

Another answer to A: Is disention in the ranks. It seems that the leaders of these groups have betrayed the trust of their followers and have made certain threats. The net result has been the leaders sending me information and the followers sending me information.

This progressed from the simple sending of "interesting" e-mails, photos and screenshots to sending me dvd's and memory devices and finally to sending hard drives, portable storage devices, and even complete pc's.

This led me to reason B: having to fly around to pick these things up as well as meeting with the "seller" to get supporting information.

I had not expected more to come of this than the usual e-mail or other standard communication as there was dissent within the ranks of some of these groups and the members contacting me for their own reasons. Something akin to "no honor among theives " being the rule here.

In other cases, the leaders of the vary same groups would send me information on some of their followers that they had issues with or with other groups leaders and members for the same reason.

This was the original reason for the Trust, post which nobody seemed to get.

I had not intended to be forthcoming about what the nature of the information I was getting and how until I recieved the link to a rather interesting video.

The contents of the video was the reason I made the post wanting to know who the two women are that I wrote about.

The person who sent me the link has distributed the video on a certain stream site and is in the process of e-mailing the link of the video to individuals who the sender feels worthy of this material.

The sender also says the video will be on at least youtube.com and perhaps some other "mainstream" streaming sites after the most extreme elements are edited out in order to meet their tos requirements.

When this video is seen, it will not shed a good light on this single mother. I still am not going to say who either of the women are in the video, even though I have recieved absolute and undenialable proof as to who they are.

I also am not going to post the link. It is against the tos of the blog host to link videos of such an explicit nature. You can take that for what it is worth.

I gave this information out so that the subject of the video will know that it is not me that released it but "one of your most trusted friends" who decided to do so after being betrayed.

I leave you all with this simple message:
The private, chat rooms, blogs, forums etc. you are in are not private.
The private, e-mails, personal messages, instant messages and phone calls are not private.
The leaders of your favorite blogs, chats etc, are not as honerable or trustworthy as you may think. If you think otherwise, you may be in for a rude awakening.

Well, it is off to see what other gifts lay in wait in my mail box.
