How would you respond to those that may consider you a spook? Could it not be argued that the mission of human rights can also at times be aligned with the interests of state agencies on various sides? One man's freedom fighter is another's terrorist. Do you play all sides off against each other or are you multiple agency agent asset? Confirm or deny type answer please.

  1. Honest question: why would a spook write Hidden Repression?
  2. The mission of human rights has frequently been co-opted by other interests. See: justification for the US invasion of Iraq in 2003
  3. One man's freedom fighter is another's terrorist. Yes. See: the American Revolution
  4. I try to work for Bitcoin as I think it's the best way for us to change our world for the better. I have met people in DC at the state department and in congressional offices to talk about Bitcoin, but honestly it's not what I want to spend my time doing. I don't go to DC more than once a year or so. I like creating content for everyone, globally, and I like working on global programs and supporting open source code.
