A worthy cause only be worthy due to the challenge inherent in
standing for that which you believe.

(BTW, thank you - taking any stand in this day an age is a rare
thing, well appreciated by a few, and despite the fact that there are
abundant opportunities to those inclined to take some stand, any
stand.)

Welcome to the world of humans.  Achieving anything can be a
challenge indeed.

Most often soul searching, and thus if you're lucky a deeper
connection with yourself, is the sole result; the road less
travelled is its own reward, as tough as it usually is.  I am
grateful that I was not in Seth Rich's position - all in all I rather
appreciate my own life and am happy I still inhabit this physical
body.

Yes, generally true.

But here's perhaps the crux for you - what, at any particular point
in time, are you wishing to achieve?

This, your email to which I respond, makes no call to action (not
even "stand strong and leak my brothers, sisters, hermaphrodites and
the rest".

And if you wish to build cred, there presumably must be a point to
doing so - and it is only you who can decide on those points of
significance from which you impel yourself in action pursuant to your
will.

Good luck. I guess.

"they" is a word I use too often myself.  It rarely gets us very far
in the conversation...


> What I have been accused of

Look, anonymity is a double edged sword - you can lurk in the shadows
of your current nom de plume or sock puppet (Shawn K Quiss My Ass
comes to mind :D ), BUT, a whiny sock puppet ain't gonna get much
traction I'm afraid.

For example, I don't know you from a bar of soap (hmm, that phrase
takes on new meaning in the face of the alt-right rightwards move to
the right - did I mention right?), but if I take a stab and search
for "outing of "lucky winner" by "the intercept"", the first link is
this:
http://scammer.net.ee/the-intercept-outs-their-source-to-the-feds-reality-winner_a30a583d0.html

and this seems to be the tldr:

  It appears a journalist from the left leaning publication "The
  Intercept" has outed their source - Reality Winner- to the feds.

  She faces at least 10 years in prison if found guilty of leaking
  top secret info.

  WikiLeaks offers $10,000 reward for the public exposure and
  termination of the journalist that outed her.


OK so leaking to The Man was may be not have been such a great idea?
- perhaps next time (in 10 years time if you're unlucky, zero years
time if you're lucky) try figuring out how to anonymously get your
leak to the public generally, via dark webski (Tor, I2P, others?) or
just some random "CD + letter" letterbox drops, or hell I don't know,
may be try Wikileaks already?

So go find a suitable psychiatrist or "Intelligence Community"
professional.

To be really honest, looking above, I've been trying to read between
the lines, but seriously, I don't know if my assumptions are true,
false, or some way inbetween.

How is your pen name "Ryan", and the paucity of facts in your email,
and the lack of any real call for help, supposed to encourage anyone
to help you?

Are you trying to say you're aggrieved?

Are you wanting us to rage emotionally at the heart dropping
inhumanity of the state?

Well, I empathize.

"You are blind." is perhaps sub-optimal way to speak to your target
audience?

Get out of victim, be a winner.

Good luck, whoever you are,
