And Barlow was personally close to the CIA, doing consultant work with them.  And he was a Coke dealer.      But I'm sure the normies think it's perfectly normal for this character be be the founder of the Electronic "Freedom" Foundation. Nothing odd there at all.  Acid dropping Hippie-dippy burnouts who associate with the CIA are perfectly reasonable candidates to be so invested in public internet freedoms.  Nothing to see here.    Freedom is slavery comrades.
