I had an out there theory about John Perry Barlow/Snowden connection. Barlow set up the Electronic Frontier Foundation after March 1, 1990, the Secret Service raided the offices of Steve Jackson Games who made the Illuminati card game among others.seizing three computers, two laser printers, dozens of floppy disks, and the master copy of GURPS Cyberpunk; a genre toolkit for cyberpunk games, written by Loyd seizing three computers, two laser printers, dozens of floppy disks, and the master copy of GURPS Cyberpunk; a genre toolkit for cyberpunk games, written by Loyd Blankenship, the hacker and an employee at the time, the hacker and an employee at the time.My thoughts were why would a card game company need a computer hacker. I think they had hacked gov black sites thats where they got the apparent ability to predict the future used in the games maybe operation looking glass files or similar.Maybe this is where Barlow got ideas for his inventions as well? lots of connections with Snowden /Barlow and Snowden appeared at conventions with hacker Loyd Blankenship,maybe Snowden was a source for security info ect.All my sauce was Wikipedea so must be more out there.
