like,oh, they're just like us.42600:25:41,407 --> 00:25:44,408And so they got thisgreat success in Germany.42700:25:44,410 --> 00:25:46,410And then theGermans figured out,42800:25:46,412 --> 00:25:48,245oh, they took overour banks, and it's42900:25:48,247 --> 00:25:50,480hyper-inflated our currency.43000:25:50,482 --> 00:25:51,882Fuck these people.43100:25:51,884 --> 00:25:55,018And perhaps the punishment wasdisproportionate to the crime.43200:25:55,020 --> 00:25:56,453Maybe.43300:25:56,455 --> 00:25:58,255But the Jews were thecriminal people in Germany,43400:25:58,257 --> 00:26:02,025and they did havesomething coming to them.43500:26:02,027 --> 00:26:03,060Just a little.43600:26:03,062 --> 00:26:04,061Oh my god.43700:26:04,063 --> 00:26:05,395Perhaps not the

pullthat kind of troll card.44100:26:15,441 --> 00:26:19,743He's obviously atroll and by all44200:26:19,745 --> 00:26:25,349accounts an asshole and highlyoffensive and of dubious44300:26:25,351 --> 00:26:28,719moral fiber anddubious moral standing.44400:26:28,721 --> 00:26:29,920He is an internet troll.44500:26:29,922 --> 00:26:32,489And for the uninitiated,that's someone44600:26:32,491 --> 00:26:35,425who just likes tomess with people44700:26:35,427 --> 00:26:37,828for the sake ofmessing with people.44800:26:37,830 --> 00:26:41,398Trolling is a rhetorical stylethat exposes somebody else's44900:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,501personality flaws by elicitinga reaction from them that45000:26:44,503 --> 00:26:46,837shows the true natureof their character.45100:26:46,839 --> 00:26:49,539He pinpoints yourvulnerability,45200:26:49,541 --> 00:26:51,975and he immediatelystarts to exploit it.45300:26:51,977 --> 00:26:55,345But for higher cause, to showthat you're hypocritical,45400:26:55,347 --> 00:26:58,749to show that you have misogyny,to show that you yourself45500:26:58,751 --> 00:27:01,551are racist while you're yellingat him for being racist.45600:27:01,553 --> 00:27:03,553Trolling is in theSocratic tradition45700:27:03,555 --> 00:27:07,057of questioning everything anddriving people nuts until they45800:27:07,059 --> 00:27:09,326question their assumptions.45900:27:09,328 --> 00:27:12,863And that's basically what agood troll will aspire to do.46000:27:12,865 --> 00:27:16,366If I were to name partiesthat I think were great trolls,46100:27:16,368 --> 00:27:19,503I'd say GiordanoBruno, Zeno of Elea,46200:27:19,505 --> 00:27:23,040Jesus Christ, JosephSmith, Brigham Young,46300:27:23,042 --> 00:27:25,008I'd definitely namesome parties who46400:27:25,010 --> 00:27:27,711used a very combativestyle of rhetoric46500:27:27,713 --> 00:27:30,080but probably nobody alive.46600:27:30,082 --> 00:27:31,481You meet Weev inperson, and he's46700:27:31,483 --> 00:27:32,616the nicest guy in the world.46800:27:32,618 --> 00:27:34,117He'll hold thedoor open for you.46900:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,552He'll grab you asoda if you ask him.47000:27:35,554 -->

00:27:43,360I like to think of trollingas a way of expressing47400:27:43,362 --> 00:27:44,895working-class discontent.47500:27:44,897 --> 00:27:48,999I recall recently that GinaRinehart called the working47600:27:49,001 --> 00:27:53,470class people of Australialazy and without self-control.47700:27:53,472 --> 00:27:55,839Trolling is theright of said people47800:27:55,841 --> 00:28:00,243to respond by telling her toperhaps stop eating and get47900:28:00,245 --> 00:28:01,645on a treadmill.48000:28:01,647 --> 00:28:04,081You say that trolling isabout creating something48100:28:04,083 --> 00:28:07,751that expresses the truenature of the character.48200:28:07,753 --> 00:28:11,521I wonder how what yousaid about Gina Rinehart48300:28:11,523 --> 00:28:13,657exposes the true natureof the character,48400:28:13,659 --> 00:28:15,692if you're just talkingabout her weight.48500:28:15,694 --> 00:28:18,662When she has inherited wealthfrom her father, a bunch48600:28:18,664 --> 00:28:21,865of mines, and she runs aroundcalling the people that48700:28:21,867 --> 00:28:26,636pull the minerals out of theground for her lazy and stupid,48800:28:26,638 --> 00:28:28,005it's disgusting.48900:28:28,007 --> 00:28:30,340It's a level ofdecadence and gluttony49000:28:30,342 --> 00:28:33,110that I think speaks notonly through her weight49100:28:33,112 --> 00:28:34,411but her general demeanor.49200:28:34,413 --> 00:28:38,448She's a loud-mouth,obnoxious idiot.49300:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,618I'm not a bigot, except by theoriginal definition of bigot,49400:28:41,620 -->

like to hear.49700:28:48,827 --> 00:28:52,262That's actually the initialdefinition of bigot,49800:28:52,264 --> 00:28:54,531before it was associatedwith a racist somebody who49900:28:54,533 --> 00:28:56,133loudly airs their opinion.50000:28:56,135 --> 00:28:59,202And it says somethingstark now that bigot50100:28:59,204 --> 00:29:01,071is a pejorative term.50200:29:01,073 -->

ofthe United States.65800:39:05,744 --> 00:39:08,711Wars are not meant to be won,they're meant to be continuous.65900:39:08,713 --> 00:39:11,180And if you want tohold a continuous war,66000:39:11,182 --> 00:39:14,450whether in real lifeor on the internet,66100:39:14,452 --> 00:39:16,619then you need an enemythat can't be destroyed.66200:39:19,057 --> 00:39:24,127And Anonymous is imperviousto

01:09:14,749Except one of them is workingfor the FBI the whole time.111701:09:15,107 --> 01:09:17,753The FBI is operating...111801:09:17,976 --> 01:09:22,081in sort of a new theater,which is online.111901:09:22,116 --> 01:09:24,926The government likes touse these hyperbolic terms112001:09:24,928 --> 01:09:28,029referring to cyber-warfare,cyber-weapons.112101:09:43,413 --> 01:09:46,080The feds, byproxy through Sabu,112201:09:46,082 --> 01:09:50,952were giving Jeremy the zero-daysto get into these websites.112301:09:50,954 --> 01:09:52,854In order to, say,entrap a terrorist,112401:09:52,856 --> 01:09:55,022they would sell himfake explosives.112501:09:55,024 --> 01:09:59,827But instead of giving him fakeexplosives, the zero-days are real.112601:09:59,829 --> 01:10:03,764In the hacker world, you eitherget in or you don't get in.112701:10:03,766 --> 01:10:08,603There's no fake hack.112801:10:08,605 --> 01:10:10,771It wouldn't be a crimeif it was a fake hack.112901:10:26,489 --> 01:10:27,392Ugh.113001:10:32,862 --> 01:10:35,630That's the only way Icould describe it dude.113101:10:35,632 --> 01:10:38,966She fellated him.113201:10:39,451 --> 01:10:45,406The amount of cooperationwas truly extraordinary.113301:10:45,408 --> 01:10:48,776And it was just amaz she justkept saying it over and over.113401:10:48,778 --> 01:10:50,077It was truly extraordinary.113501:10:55,485 --> 01:10:59,520You know and Igotta say too, I113601:10:59,522 --> 01:11:02,089don't know what I wouldhave done in his position.113701:11:02,091 --> 01:11:03,624I really don't.113801:11:06,629 --> 01:11:09,230You have to walk a mile inhis shoes to understand.113901:11:09,232 --> 01:11:12,033There's a lot of people thatare going to be mad, though,114001:11:12,035 --> 01:11:15,603the amount of trulyextraordinary cooperation114101:11:15,605 --> 01:11:17,004that he gave.114201:11:17,006 --> 01:11:20,174This was the first timeanybody had ever seen him,114301:11:20,176 --> 01:11:21,542at least publicly.114401:11:21,544 --> 01:11:22,677Like, this was real.114501:11:22,679 --> 01:11:24,478This was finallycoming to a close.114601:11:24,480 --> 01:11:27,315And he was facingthe guideline114701:11:27,317 --> 01:11:29,850was between 21 and 26 years.114801:11:34,857 --> 01:11:37,162He walked out of...114901:11:37,324 --> 01:11:41,935the Manhattan courtcomplex... a

that was probably115301:11:54,444 --> 01:11:57,111the most significantaspect of the case,115401:11:57,113 --> 01:12:01,182was that Sabu flipped soquickly, which enabled115501:12:01,184 --> 01:12:05,853the FBI to sort of becomea part of Anonymous115601:12:05,855 --> 01:12:07,455over a nine-month period.115701:12:07,457 --> 01:12:12,994They were apparently sitting atthe computer with him at times.115801:12:12,996 --> 01:12:15,630He had a camera inhis apartment or house115901:12:15,632 --> 01:12:18,399that was videotapinghim every day.116001:12:18,401 --> 01:12:22,236He was debriefedregularly by the FBI.116101:12:22,238 --> 01:12:26,707Judge Preska said, andI quote, I salute you.116201:12:26,709 --> 01:12:30,611The prosecution and thedefense sort of built him up116301:12:30,613 --> 01:12:33,214to be this sort ofconservative folk hero,116401:12:33,216 --> 01:12:38,285like the model FBIinformant, the person who116501:12:38,287 --> 01:12:42,156every informant shouldlive up to be, to the point116601:12:42,158 --> 01:12:45,626where it made it impossiblefor them to give him jail time.116701:12:45,628 --> 01:12:48,496It would have beenit would've been116801:12:48,498 --> 01:12:50,031bad for the informantprogram for him116901:12:50,033 --> 01:12:52,833to have worked thatlong, to work three years117001:12:52,835 --> 01:12:55,302and then be sentenced to prison.117101:12:57,907 --> 01:13:00,908Sabu pretty muchneutralized Anonymous.117201:13:00,910 --> 01:13:01,876Yeah.117301:13:01,878 --> 01:13:04,679Completelyneutralized Anonymous.117401:13:04,681 --> 01:13:06,547And after he wentdown, everyone's117501:13:06,549 --> 01:13:08,582afraid of following any leader.117601:13:08,584 --> 01:13:13,721And they're also afraid of startingan operation on their own.117701:13:13,723 --> 01:13:15,289In general, nobodytrusts anyone.117801:13:15,291 --> 01:13:18,259If you go onto any IRC chat,they're all just talking

what people have readand what people have written118801:14:43,846 --> 01:14:47,548about an issue that is ofextraordinary importance...118901:14:47,550 --> 01:14:48,925TrapWire.119001:14:54,791 --> 01:14:57,424Barrett sort of shinesthe light of this stuff.119101:14:57,426 --> 01:14:59,560He's like, oh my god,it's actually happening.119201:14:59,562 --> 01:15:01,428You've got theemails right there.119301:15:01,430 --> 01:15:03,697He stumbles across this.119401:15:03,699 --> 01:15:06,300He stumbles across it,starts talking about it.119501:15:19,148 --> 01:15:22,750TrapWire is software that canmatch surveillance data taken119601:15:22,752 --> 01:15:24,785from multiple closedcircuit cameras119701:15:24,787 --> 01:15:28,088from across the country.119801:15:28,090 --> 01:15:31,025Video feeds are fed intoa centralized system that119901:15:31,027 --> 01:15:33,861analyzes them for patternsof suspicious behavior.120001:15:37,733 --> 01:15:39,533To understandTrapWire, you have120101:15:39,535 --> 01:15:42,970to understand thelarger context,120201:15:42,972 --> 01:15:47,308because TrapWire is a criticalpiece of the surveillance120301:15:47,310 --> 01:15:48,375apparatus.120401:15:48,377 --> 01:15:51,579This is actually doingvery large swath,120501:15:51,581 --> 01:15:53,113persistent surveillance.120601:15:56,285 --> 01:16:00,721In 2007, TrapWirecosts about $1.7 million120701:16:00,723 --> 01:16:03,757to operate in LosAngeles County.120801:16:03,759 --> 01:16:05,993What we know abouthow it functions120901:16:05,995 --> 01:16:09,496is largely gleanedfrom those emails.121001:16:09,498 --> 01:16:12,289TrapWire has beendeployed in Seattle,121101:16:12,355 --> 01:16:16,988in Los Angeles, in DC.121201:16:21,644 --> 01:16:23,811According to aStratfor email, there's121301:16:23,813 --> 01:16:25,946500 cameras in thisNew York City subway121401:16:25,948 --> 01:16:27,715system equipped with TrapWire.121501:16:27,717 --> 01:16:29,049"The New York Times"121601:16:29,051 --> 01:16:32,353said that TrapWirewas only used on 15121701:16:32,355 --> 01:16:36,423cameras in the entire country,and that the DHS wrote it off121801:16:36,425 --> 01:16:38,592as a failure.121901:16:38,594 --> 01:16:40,961That's a complete lie.122001:16:52,441 --> 01:16:55,476We had gone to 38th StreetStation to troll TrapWire.122101:16:55,478 --> 01:16:57,645And so what troll TrapWirewas for us was essentially122201:16:57,647 --> 01:17:01,015acting out these things thatthe security researcher, Justin,122301:17:01,017 --> 01:17:02,650and other peoplehad said, this might122401:17:02,652 --> 01:17:04,418work to triggerTrapWire's alarms.122501:17:04,420 --> 01:17:06,720Sitting their holding mylaptop and looking around,122601:17:06,722 --> 01:17:07,855a little bit.122701:17:07,857 --> 01:17:09,323You were live-tweetingthe video.122801:17:09,325 --> 01:17:10,724And you were being ridiculousabout the whole thing.122901:17:10,726 -->
