Seriously there are also pretty dirty internet upstreams. At the time CogentCo was notorious. I did it for as long as I could and left when an agent from Homeland told me I would need to otherwise be implicated in some stuff I didn’t want to see. I have some pretty crazy stories. I have a funny one with Kim Dotcom and Bruce Willis.
That’s wild man. Same period I was in Afghanistan fighting murderous Taliban but as we know all that was misguided and nothng like your honorable battle. I’ve been writing a book about my 12 years in Mideast but am now kinda at a stalemate as there’s questions about Classification of some of it. Most of that is the good stuff too which kinda sux. I know you can relate. In the future I sincerely hope NOTHING is left in the shadows. Nothing.
Guys, take a break and read some Solzhenitsyn. Reflect on the fact that the Soviet Union altogether did not want him to publish his historical accounts of the GULag. And that he framed his struggle as being against "the Lie." His credo was: "One word of truth shall outweigh the world."
I would go further to say that the closer we are to truth, the closer we are to God, for God entails every true thing. Do we bear witness to the truth of God because we are asked...or because we are impelled by its knowledge? Oaths of silence are subject to the rule that silence about evil acts is complicity in them.
Pretty funny really. Kim is actually really nice and hilarious.
He had an obsession with Bruce Willis because of Hans Grüber also being German. Anyway once Kim had cash ( another story ) he literally gets Bruce Willis in the phone and asks to meet up and Willis told him to F off.
Anyway Kim being Kim planned: he hired 4 Papparazzi and ambushed Willis at a party he heard he would be at. Willis got so angry when Kim popped up on him he punched Kim in the face. Kim went down. He got up laughing. Willis asked if he was nuts and Kim said “No I just knew you didn’t hit link a punk and you proved me right.” So Bruce figured out he was planning to get the whole time and basically said “if you are willing to take a punch tk be my friend then you got it”
Truly God’s work Fren. I can imagine what you witnessed. Peace

Seriously true.
That process for classification is totally locked and so broken. They ever approve anything not in their interest? Seems like not.
My stuff they want forgot. I know that.
Understood. I hope someday we can swap stories.

Would love to hear that one someday!
