Ruling-class inbreeding is for real
(this is an interesting lineage to trace - from Tor to Amazon's CIA datacenter to the US Navy to the South American slave trade)
(this family probably merits a full episode of Doxing the Ruling Class if I ever have time for it)
Peak Liberalism: "Lets end slavery in USA by exporting all the slaves to Brazil's up-and-coming slave economy" fampeople.com/cat-matthew-fo…
this guy was also the registrar for ships flagged to the Papal States. what gets you picked for that job?
(kinda like "what gets you picked to run the CIA's datacenter at Amazon")
Vass got his start at DynCorp (of course) and had a long run of building naval drones. washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content…
Tor + DynCorp + Naval drones = my gut tells me this guy is like 2 hops from Marc Collins Rector tops.

Vass' wife of course is EFF / Tor director Shari Steele web.archive.org/web/2010010504…
funny how she's been with the EFF since at least 1993 and has dozens of newspaper hits from that decade, but no Wikipedia page.

1990s EFF vs Scientology deserves a full rundown (heh) at some point too newspapers.com/image/26670504…
EFF facilitated Aerosmith's 1994 "cyber tour" of dialup chatrooms newspapers.com/image/24894850…
Tor, of course, began as a Naval Intel project and gosh it's like the great-grandfather of the husband of the woman who run the Tor project
basically invented naval intelligence - scouted imperial incursions into mexico and brazil, developed an international network of
information sharing between navies (weather reports!) and kept track of the Pope's ships for him.
great grandson vass has a long career building autonomous submarines for various maclean-based consulting outfits.
and his wife is a key figure in the EFF for 20+ years without even a wikipedia page about her.
gonna let this one percolate for a few weeks.
(one more: would love to find a good history of Maury's Mexican colony for ex-Confederate war criminals en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Virgi…)
