Adrian Lamo killed himself.


A few very stupid propaganda articles relating to Adrian Lamo have been published by NPR.

I have two corrections to make to my video.

1) The sticker found on Adrian's thigh contained an address his friend Blake had lived at and Lamo occasionally visited.

2) Chelsea Manning said there was nothing to forgive.

The author implied at the end of the second article that perhaps with Assange extradited and prosecuted for committing journalism, Lamo might have finally succeeded and fulfilled his destiny or wtf. I'll provide the fricken links. The author is either cointelpro or something is very fucked up with her thinking and that's why she was hired. But then we get labeled kooky because the internet is rigged.

Here are a few excerpts:
Perhaps Lamo's real ProjectVigilant was himself. To try to find his place in a world that had gone one way after he went another. Oddly, had he stayed alive just a bit longer, things might have been different for him.

... I asked Manning, through her lawyer, if she forgave Lamo for everything that happened, and she said something surprising: She said there was nothing to forgive. In a handwritten note she passed to us she added, "I've never had any ill will toward Adrian at any time. I'm more mad at the government for using him."

Had he lived, Adrian Lamo likely would have been preparing to testify in the Assange case recounting what Manning had told him about that "crazy white haired" guy all those years ago. And he would have been where he thought he was happiest: back in the spotlight.
                                              Adrian Lamo killed himself.

One other thing I should have clarified better was that the article implied it was the mixture of drugs that probably killed Adrian. There was a chemical reaction so to speak with all the shite Adrian was ingesting. Yet, that doesn't explain why Lamo put a sticker on his thigh. The sticker in itself is explained but not the wtf of why it was there.
