Transcript of John Lovegrove/TASC Call on Romas/COIN, Aaron Barr

Since YouTube took down the audio of my call to TASC director John Lovegrove despite it having been linked to by several media outlets due to its newsworthy status and public relevance, I've done the audio myself. I'm assuming this won't violate the Terms of Service - unless, of course, YouTube is simply giving into government/intel industry pressure.

John Lovegrope is, like, totally gayayayayeah -- that's him! However, isn't it required by law that you must ask the other convo party for permission to record and publish a phonetalk? I'd cut you some slack on this, because that minion of the enemies of mankind is so stupid and should have no rights to begin with, but youtube is probably right to remove that vid you made. amirite?

[BarrettBrown]

@TheGrimRaeper Nah. I was calling from Texas, which is a single party consent state - that means I can record any phone conversation without informing the other person, and it's totally legal. And YouTube hosts plenty of recordings in which the other person didn't consent and who obviously don't want to appear in front of the world. Lovegrove may have complained to Google, which TASC works with on Romas/COIN - as Google owns YouTube.

Barrett, I'd like to invite you to come on our national conference call-show some Thursday evening. 

[baltejkilla]

Yea he is, he recently was on the news about the anonymous group taking down the sites, he was being interviewed.

[freeboots]

barrett are you still around/



[egeek10]

al fucking jazeera? get fucked

[NOTAMARKinc]

@BarrettBrown Not only Greenwald and an entire population. Worth mentioning the nature of their plan to discredit Wikileaks. I have been wondering since the events in Sweden if Anonymous didn't stumble upon the proposal soon enough...

Great work Barrett!

You said that Youtube took the video that you posted with the actual audio recording of the phone call. Unbelievable. Not sure how quick they pounced, but it could be a sign of their own guilt. I would be interested to know YT's involvement in this ROMAS/COIN. "COIN" reminds me of FBI counterintelligence program COINTEL, and some of the nefarious plans and actions against the American people and political activist, such as 'Operation Northwoods.'

[syrinor]

@BarrettBrown Yeah, they should go take down the iDump4You channel and its various clones then. Maybe you could get away with posting these interviews if you sandwiched the legit questions between questions about their sex life?

[julzabro]

Thanx for putting this up and all your efforts.

[SkidRowRadio]

it actually doesnt break any terms of service. at all. you both knew it was being recorded. at no time did he say you dont have his permission tho even if he did it still wouldnt break ToS.

gotta love the censoring of a phonecall that both people knew was bein recorded in which nothing was said, tho he works for a company that secretly spies on people using their own money to do it. fuck this world with somethin hard and sandpapery.

vid response posted from my back up. aww yea.
