I think he's talking about this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/mar/17/us-spy-oper...

and citing this http://blog.reddit.com/2013/05/get-ready-for-global-reddit-m...

where it shows:

Most addicted city (over 100k visits total) Eglin Air Force Base, FL

That's news to me. And it would also explain why the spy scandal is pretty much a non-story on Reddit.

At the moment all there is on the front page are 2 stories on Greenwald and some "collecting anti surveillance arguments thread".

I guess after their role in promoting the anti-SOPA movement they got some "special attention.

Basically, yes - its been confirmed that they have a shit-ton of traffic to reddit from Eglin, and the rumor is the HBGary scandal is related to this as they do a lot of online "sentiment shaping" from there.
