met him here and know the satirical reference of his user name. They cannot get me, but I will not risk the life of my friend.

However, to those of you who have supported me in this endeavor, I must, first of all, offer you my thanks. I am humbled by the outpouring of support and encouragement I have received. And, more importantly, I must warn you. The Watchers know who you are. They probably already know more about you than you might think possible. By expressing affirmation with anything I have said here, hell, maybe even just by your participation in this forum alone, you have been marked.

Everything you do on your computer is logged. Every time you connect to the Internet, every page you visit is logged. I cannot stress this enough. They are watching! Your association with me, even though we have never met, is a red flag. Any comments you make, any visits to my website are red flags. God help you if you sent any monetary support to me through the website. Multiple red flags.

I know; I know. As always, the doubters and naysayers are ready to begin the inquisition.

"Why can they not get you?"

"Why would they allow you the ability to tell us this, if any of it were true and if they were real?"

"Can you prove those threats against Condon?"

My answers are thus:

a) Because I have certain safeguards in place. A particular computer, its location known only to me, sits and waits, looking for a mention and a confirmation of my death. A little scripting trick I learned while employed by Uncle Sam.

b) They don't expect you, or at least enough of you to matter to believe me.

c) Unfortunately, this is the one piece of information over my last few months here that I can offer no proof on, for to do so would endanger the life of my friend.

Now the time has come for me to depart; hopefully for only a short while. But, know this. By the time the Watchers read this, I will have a significant head start. You see, this message is being posted automatically from my kid's computer after a remote call from a specific computer at the library. Well, sort of. It is a bit more convoluted than that, but I don't want to give away too many of the specifics.

Know this, as well. If I should die from anything other than old age then my secreted computer will go to work and all that I know shall be made known as well.

Goodbye for now, my friends. And remember. If you have a strange feeling you're being watched, you're right.

To those of you who have been reading and following the complete fabrications, the utter fantasies of the deranged individual calling himself Avenger: his parents computer was bought at a government surplus sale. He ain't so smart after all.
