Forum Post: How Breitbart’s Last War Began

On February 29, leaked emails show, Breitbart held a teleconference call with a New Jersey investigative firm called Vested Protective Systems to discuss conducting recon on his enemies. He spoke to a consultant named Michelle who followed up with an email noting the targets they’d talked about and drafting potential methods to deal with them. Suggestions included: infiltrating the faceless collective Anonymous “to cause a rift between the left and the hackers”; further eviscerating Kimberlin’s reputation; ratting out Twitter rivals to Stephen Blair, a Boston Police Special Investigation Detective with whom Michelle claimed to have a professional relationship; and making a “fool” out of Nadia Naffe.

That firm is Vested Protection Systems, LLC, and there is good evidence that Breitbart had been in communication with them since at least Weinergate. The Michelle mentioned there is the mysterious female voice of @ZAPEM, a right wing research operation. The group surrounding the mysterious Michelle, collectively known as the Jersey Kooks, includes Jennifer Emick, Mike Stack, and Tom Ryan. Emick promotes herself as an expert on Anonymous; Stack is a cyberstalking former porn blogger who got enmeshed in the Anthony Weiner scandal and lives on mental disability; Ryan is the would-be genius behind the Robin Sage scandal.
