Barrett Brown, activist, author and non-elected spokesperson in various mainstream media interviews regarding Anonymous operations and activities was raided last night while conducting a live video stream using the TinyChat video-cast service [1].
In the last week, Barrett Brown has authored a stream of twitter post and uploaded a series of videos to YouTube in which he expresses anger towards the FBI and a particular agent as a result of a raid which occurred last ? during which we was arrested at his mother’s residence. This raid was in conjunction with the arrest of 25 members of alleged hacker group Lulzsec.

Following the release of these videos, in which Barrett Brown makes various threats against the FBI in general and a certain named agent in particular, he posted a log purporting to show SMS and email conversations between an alleged informant, Jen Emmick, and an FBI agent – http://pastebin.com/12crnMjP | http://pastebin.com/LtadDiFC.

Speculation continues as to what specifically prompted the present raid and arrest as charges are yet to be pressed. Common theories are threats against an FBI member and his family, as well as the release of information including the above conversation logs.
Whether the timing is mere coincidence or the result of sufficient evidence to justify a raid following the recent posts remains to be answered.

Barrett Brown loved to appear on TinyChat to talk to Anons and people from all around the globe. Was the FBI watching this TinyChat session, which had been ongoing for some time when the raid occurred, awaiting an opportunity to catch him red-handed?
At time of writing, it was been over 12 hours since the raid and no sources of news or confirmation have been given about the incident, excepting twitter posts by an account connected with Barrett Brown’s legal representation, California attorneys Leiderman and Device – https://twitter.com/LeidermanDevine.

The terrifying wall of silence erected by law enforcement serves no purpose other than the keep the arrest out of the media cycle and to inspire e far and intimidation in his friends, loved ones and supporters who are justifiably concerned about his well being and anxiously await updates on his legal status. https://twitter.com/ElviraXMontana/status/246181604131758080
