Flushing a Spy

It appears as though there is a spy in our midst who knows me well and is using information which I share here against my favor. I just had a very interesting conversation with someone who happens to know that I am attending a gun show tomorrow. It seems strange since I have not breathed these intentions to anyone outside of GB. Things are becoming quite interesting. I dashed anonymity to pieces within the last 10 months but this individual is almost completely computer illiterate. Pardon me if I "speak out of character" on occasion. Flushing a spy is difficult business.

    They're coming out of the woodwork.

    I've got some nut running around my area claiming to be the Captain of my militia group.

    Pretty funny, since the guy has never been a member and we don't assign rank.

    Nut jobs. Must be a full moon.

    "Loose lips sink ships."

    --'course, some of you "army guys" think, "we don't have any ships, so we can talk, as long as we're careful..."

    Goes to show you, there is no such thing as "careful" speech...

    (Hint: Best way to trip-up a spy is to feed different false information into each of your normal communication channels; you can track the discreptencies in information you get back to you and, if you method is good, identify your "spy".)

    Quote Idsman: "If any of y'all are at the gun show and want to meet up, I predict that I'll be getting a cup of coffee at 11am from the snack bar. I'll be the only guy wearing Cherry Red Doc Martin boots with the yellow sole stitching and I'll be sporting a black baseball cap with the word "ARMY" across the front in gold lettering."


    Idsman, since there won't be too many in the snack bar at 11am with red shoes drinking coffee, I think your cover has been blown...gotta blend into the Iowa farm culture a little more....John Deere or Pioneer Seed Corn hat, bib overalls, and plant stem hanging from your mouth. When you get to the snack bar start talking about the hog prices and weather.....you should blend right in...

    idsman, in most every group there is at least one jerk. Hope things work out for you.

    I must admit that I wrote this post with some tounge-in-cheek. However, there is a concern of, would you say, personal embarrassment. I am not ashamed of a single one of my posts but it seems that someone is gleening information from a particular post and is being rather "inquisitive" with regards to my personal life. This is information that I have only shared here and with one person at work who has absolutely NO chance of having any contact with the individual in question. Oh well. After discussing the matter with a member of the illustrious SJC it all seems a bit silly but it also seems a bit disconcerting at the same time.
