Barrett Brown, also known as the spokesperson for Anonymous fled his home in Dallas after feeling his life was in danger. A couple of Twitter posts and a Pastebin document revealed his future plans.

“Yes, unfortunately I've got ex-military people releasing info on me and family. Have to leave Texas,” Brown wrote on his Twitter account.

“Anyone who can buy me ticket to NYC/Boston and have me pay them back in month, let me know. [email protected] Home no longer secure.”

In a Pastebin document published on Saturday, Brown claims he made it to Brooklyn with the help of some individuals involved in the Occupy DC protest.

“I am situated in a neighborhood whose residents are old friends and who tend to be well-armed, and at any rate I plan to be staying with assorted friends and colleagues in various other parts of NYC during my stay,” he writes.

He also reveals how things are turning out in Mexico after the operation against the Zetas cartel was terminated. OpCorrupcion is the new mission in which Anonymous Mexico and others plan on exposing the corruption that takes place in governments.

It seems as around 25,000 emails that involve corruption acts are already in their possession, but since he doesn't seem to be involved in those specific operations he can't detail any further.

“I am continuing work on the creation of a private team of individuals who will be charged with pursuing an ongoing campaign against Mexican cartels. So far, participants include journalists, academics who study cartels and related topics, and hackers, although other skill sets may also be needed.”

He calls out to anyone who wants to help to join the mission. In this particular case he will only have the role of an adviser since his main goal is Project PM and the “ongoing investigation into the intelligence contracting industry.”
