CDR: DoJ vs. Privacy
by John Young 20 Oct '00

20 Oct '00

In 1998 Gore proposed a national justice information system which was implemented by AG Reno. The purpose of the program is to make criminal justice and other information easily available to many the parties involved; courts, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, local officials and so on. We ran across a presentation by a DoJ official in which he outlines progress of the program and how to address the conflict posed by information collection technology for privacy concerns of citizens and organizations: http://cryptome.org/doj-ji-pi.ppt (129KB) He advocates that despite the "tension between justice needs and privacy concerns," tools for information collection and sharing be provided the national justice system as soon as possible, while a campaign is initiated to address privacy concerns primarily by PR among US, Canadian, UN and other cooperating agencies. He observes that local parties are not always sensitive to privacy concerns and that they may need education -- but that is not to hold up getting them the tools they need to collect information on citizens. He also notes that current laws do not adequately cover today's and tomorrow's technology for collecting and sharing information. What technology besides Carnivore is outside the law?

CDR: Declan should hope Bush is elected!
by Tim May 20 Oct '00

20 Oct '00

I know Declan is libertarian-leaning, but it seems to me he has good reason to hope Bush wins. Look at Bush's latest stump speech: Thursday October 19 2:13 PM ET Bush Calls Gore Out of Step with New Economy Reuters Photo By Patricia Wilson FRASER, Mich. (Reuters) - Deriding Democrat Al Gore (news - web sites) for ''analog thinking in a digital age,'' Republican George W. Bush (news - web sites) on Thursday cast himself as a better steward of the new economy who would protect the Internet from ``the heavy hand of government.'' .... Bush touted the technology boom in Texas and pointed out that a Texan, Jack Kilby, won a Nobel Prize last week for inventing the integrated circuit in the 1950s. ``It was an amazing achievement, unrivaled in the annals of technology until 1986, when one senator from Tennessee, alone in his office, invented the Internet,'' Bush said. Competing Plans The reference to Gore and the Internet, drew hoots of laughter and prolonged applause. Gore, who while in Congress was credited with helping to push federal funding for research that brought about the Internet, has conceded one of his biggest mistakes was when he was seen as claiming credit for helping invent the Internet. --end excerpt-- Seems to me that if Bush wins, Declan will be quite welcome in the White House. He may even be able to influence Bush further in the direction of "hands off" approaches, especially in censorship and filtering. If Gore wins, I expect Declan will face a chilly reception. --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

http://www.nytimes.com/2000/10/20/business/20BANK.html October 20, 2000 - New York Times (front page) Taking Aim at Tax Havens, I.R.S. Seeks Credit Card Slips By DAVID CAY JOHNSTON The Internal Revenue Service, struggling against Caribbean havens it suspects of draining away at least $70 billion a year in personal income tax revenue, has set its sights on a new target the credit card slips of suspected tax evaders. The agency has asked a federal judge in Miami to issue summonses for two years' worth of records of MasterCard and American Express card transactions in the United States that were billed to bank accounts in Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands. Using the Internet and other outlets, banks in those nations openly solicit tax evasion in ways that the I.R.S. says have proved attractive to corporate executives, business owners, doctors and other wealthy people in the United States. Americans can legally move their assets offshore but are required to notify the I.R.S. of those transactions and to pay taxes on their income worldwide. Some Caribbean countries offer an alluring tax haven, however, because they impose no income tax and do not generally cooperate with I.R.S. efforts to track down incomes.

CDR: RE: Rep. Armey questions Justice Department review of Carnivore
by Diamond, Richard 20 Oct '00

20 Oct '00

If you'd like, forward this to the cypherpunks list (if it rejects submissions from non-members). Mr. Armey told the Washington Post that he thought Carnivore was illegal. That should answer the question quite sufficiently, I think. But I might as well add the justification: "The American people will not simply 'trust' that the Justice Department, which allowed 900 FBI files containing personal information about American citizens to be released into unauthorized hands (i.e. Craig Livingstone), will be more careful with their online privacy." http://freedom.gov/library/technology/reno3letter.asp "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." (4th amdt.) Seems to me there's no difference between my packets and my papers. If they're sniffing all the traffic on my ISP, they're sniffing my papers without a warrant. There are other ways to conduct surveillance on criminals that don't present this difficulty.

Dick Armey, House majority leader and Republican firebrand, is once again making trouble for the Clinton administration. Armey this afternoon sent a letter to Attorney General Janet Reno, saying that the Justice Department's review of Carnivore appears somewhat less than objective: "I have questioned the independence of this review. Several in the media have questioned this review. Several universities refused to submit review proposals because, in their opinion, the review process was unfair." Having the supposedly secret names of the government-affiliated reviewers revealed last month sure didn't help.

If you take a course in human genetics you're likely to be astonished at the rate of fooling around that must occur to account for the appearence of traits within families - I've heard that as high as 10% of firstborns must have had a father different than the one on the birth certificate (no, I can't give you a cite).

I was using dumb terminals (initially HP; later AT&T VT100 clones). Much better resolution than PCs, and it wasn't till the late 80s that I could afford a machine for home use that was as good as a dumb terminal connected to a Vax 780. (Macs were arguably *better*, but that's a separate issue. They were friendlier, but Unix was much more powerful and usable.) I was a newcomer to Usenet - didn't get on until late 81 or maybe 82 :-) It was mostly universities (initially Duke and UNC) and gradually spreading into other places that had Unix machines, and eventually ported to support network environments other than uucp. It's arguable the extent to which that was public or private at first, because much of the critical mass of discussions was either at government-funded schools or The Phone Company. Ward Christiansen used to claim he had invented the BBS, but it wasn't till 1978 (I think it was XModem?), and I'd been using Plato Notesfiles several years before, while the Arpanet mailing lists had also been growing for a while. Eventually I got a PC at home. I mainly used Netcom's early ix.netcom.com IP service (with Trumpet Winsock on Win3.1), though I also tried out Twinsock on a shell account at work. At NCR our initial PC-based email was an appallingly ugly hacked-together Kermit thing - one reason I got the Netcom account was that the Kermit thing would choke and die if you got more than 200KB in one session, and the cypherpunks list was too much for it :-) Thanks!

When I was reading about other nations' plans to do what Ken Brown pointed out only Iceland does now, it occurred to me that even with an anonymized database, you could infer parentage from the raw anonymized data -its a harder problem than testing a particular parenting hypothesis (is A likely descended from B + C, given samples of A,B,C?), but maybe possible. Maybe the EULA will have a no-reverse-engineering-pedigrees clause..

Morales gives documents to Payne on Saturday March 22, 1997. Exhibit A 4 show that the documents clearly refer to plaintiff W. H. Payne since his signature is affixed to that document. Payne had not seen Exhibit A documents before March 22, 1997. The documents contain false and defaming information. Release of documents like those seen in Exhibit A without written consent is a criminal violation of the Privacy Act, 5 USC § 552a, Records Maintained On Individuals http://www.usdoj.gov/04foia/privstat.htm 5 USC 552a(b) , the Privacy Act, states, CONDITIONS OF DISCLOSURE - No agency shall disclose any record which is contain in a systems of records by any means of communications to any person, or to another agency, except pursuant to a written request by, or with the prior written consent of, the individual to who the record pertains, ... 5 USC 552a(i)1 applies.

Further, The Privacy Act provides a civil remedy whenever an agency denies access to a record or refuses to amend a record. An individual may sue an agency if the agency fails to maintain records with accuracy, relevance, timeliness, and completeness as is necessary to assure fairness in any agency determination and the agency makes a determination that is adverse to the individual. An individual may also sue an agency if the agency fails to comply with any other Privacy Act provision in a manner that has an adverse effect on the individual. An individual may file a lawsuit against an agency in the Federal District Court in which the individual lives, in which the records are situated, or in the District of Columbia. A lawsuit must be filed within 2 years from the date on which the basis for the lawsuit arose. http://www.epic.org/open_gov/citizens_guide_93.html EMPLOYMENT REFERENCES I. Generally In recent years the trend has become for employers not to give detailed or even meaningful employment references when asked to do so. Most employers today either give no employment reference information or merely confirm that the (former) employee worked for the employer during specified dates and at a certain rank or position. The rationale for the unwillingness to provide more complete or specific information is that employers must minimize their risk of exposure to workplace defamation liability. Generally, an employer is liable to an employee for defamation if the employer publishes a false statement about the employee that harms the employee's reputation and that is not privileged. Each element of a defamation action is examined briefly below. First, employers cannot make false statements about an employee. Employers can now be held liable for false statements only if they are responsible for the falsity. This means that the employer can be held liable for a false statements only if they were negligent in attempting to ensure the truthfulness of the statement. In other words, employers are not liable for a false statement if they were not negligent in their attempts to ensure that the statement was true before they published it.

KAREN KENNEDY & ASSOCIATES, P.C. 6400 UPTOWN BLVD., NE, SUITE 630-E ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO 87110 (505) 884-7887 _____ 7-1 Defamation Defined The test for defamation is not merely a statement that hurts one's reputation. Defamation is the publication of a defamatory statement of fact. When defamation occurs in written form it is called libel. When the defamation is an oral communication, it is called slander. In order to prove that one has been defamed, the New Mexico courts rely on proof of the following facts: 1. that there was a defamatory statement of fact concerning another (i.e. a statement, as opposed to an opinion, that tends to lower the employee in the esteem of the community or other respectable individuals); 2. the statement must be published; that is it must be spoken or otherwise communicated to at least one person, usually a "third party," other than the complaining party; 3. fault amounting at least to negligence (should have known it was false) on part of the publisher, or, if the employer is a public official, the statement must have been made with the knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard for the truth; and 4. that the statement was the proximate cause of actual injury to the employee. It is imperative that employers take action to stop all defamatory actions by their employees, even in the realm of horseplay, since there exists in New Mexico both criminal, and civil liability for such actions. LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT IN NEW MEXICO: A Complete Desktop Guide to Employment Law, ERIC SIROTKIN Butterworth, 1994. While it may seem obvious to readers of Exhibit A that both Sandia National Laboratories and the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission got caught in writing violating both the criminal and civil portion of the Privacy Act and should settle, the federal government decided to fight in federal court relying on cooperation of federal judges to protect it. However, in this case the federal judge violated New Mexico state law in by mounting a campaign of harassment instead of administering a fair jury trial his zeal to protect the US government from liability. Therefore, legal remedy reverts to state court. 2 Payne brought suit CIV 99-270 against defendants and others on March 12, 1999 in US District Court for the District of New Mexico for violation of the Privacy Act, 5 USC § 552a, Records Maintained On Individuals and pendant Defamation.

These are seen at http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/congress/8327/robles.htm Exhibit B shows that magistrate judge Garcia dismisses my air-tight Privacy Act Defamation lawsuit. Exhibit C shows that judge Garcia has the gall to attempt to assess me with fees. 2 I ask that you issue a writ of prohibition to judge Garcia to stay his August 5 ORDER ASSESSING COST IN FAVOR OF SANDIA DEFENDANTS AGAINST PLAINTIFF WILLIAM H. PAYNE because written evident seen at http: //www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Congress/8327/robles.htm controverts Garcia' s claims. Scalia does not respond. Garcia, of course, was removed from case on June 8, 1999 and had no authority to rule. Citizen Garcia harasses Payne in violation of New Mexico state law. 13 Krehbiel, Bannerman & Horn, Smith and Bannerman file lien again Payne's and wife property on January 19, 2000. Exhibit D. Krehbiel, Bannerman & Horn, Smith and Bannerman, knowing that Garcia was removed by affidavit harass Payne by filing illegal lien. Rule 11(b)(2) states Rule 11. Signing of Pleading, Motions, and other Papers; Representations to Court; Sanctions (b) Representations to Court. By presenting to the court (whether by signing, filing, submitting, or later advocating) a pleading, written motion, or other paper, an attorney or unrepresented party is certifying that to the best of the person's knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances,-- (2) the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions therein are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing law or the establishment of new law; Evidence in documents in Exhibit A clearly violate the both the criminal and civil provision of the Privacy Act. These documents are obviously defaming too. CIV 99-270 is not frivolous. Citizens Garcia, Smith and Bannerman law firm Krehbiel, Bannerman & Horn harass Payne in violation of New Mexico state law. 14 Payne files DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL in CIV 99-270 on March 24, 1999. Exhibit B page 9 docket entry 3. On 03/17/99 paid the filing fee for this jury trial guaranteed him by the Constitution and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Garcia, however, judged case without a jury trial. Citizen Garcia denied Payne's right for jury trial and thereby harasses Payne in violation of New Mexico state law. 15 New Mexico state law, ARTICLE 3A, defines Harassment and Stalking 30-3A-2. Harassment; penalties. A. Harassment consists of knowingly pursuing a pattern of conduct that is intended to annoy, seriously alarm or terrorize another person and which serves no lawful purpose. The conduct must be such that it would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress. B. Whoever commits harassment is guilty of a misdemeanor. 17 15 Chief magistrate judge William Deaton is informed of Garcia's, Smith's and Bannerman's harassment acts by certified letter on February 26, 2000. Administrative settlement of these and other misconduct was proposed. Deaton is asked to respond by March 4, 2000. Deaton does not respond. WHEREFORE 18 Order Krehbiel, Bannerman & Horn, Bannerman and Smith to pay Payne $912.50 to satisfy lien. 19 Payne asks for punitive damages of $300,000 from Garcia for disallowing service by US marshal, failure to remove himself from CIV 99-270 after affidavit was file, ordering Payne to pay $912.50 after Garcia was removed from case, and denying trial by jury which Payne paid for and was guaranteed by the Constitution and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Garcia is engaged in pattern and practice of harassment to deny rights due Payne under the Constitution and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Payne asks for punitive damages of $300,000 from Krehbiel, Bannerman & Horn for allowing lawyers Smith and Bannerman to harass him. Smith and Bannerman have engaged in pattern and practice of harassing Payne. 20 Punitive damages of $1,000,000 each from Sandia Corporation - Sandia National Laboratories, American Telephone and Telegraph Corporation Lockheed Martin Corporation for the preparation and distribution of libelous and defaming false documents distributed without Payne's knowledge seen in Exhibit A. 21 Punitive damages of $50,000 each from citizens R. C. Bonner, Charles Burtner, C. W. Childers, M. B. Courtney, R. B. Craner, D. B. Davis, R. L. Ewing, W. R. Geer, J. D. Giachino, G. H. Libman, Linda Vigil Lopez , J. D. Martin, J. J. McAuliffe, D. S. Miyoshi, Michael G. Robles, and A. M. Torneby for authoring and distributing the false, libelous, and defaming documents seen in Exhibit A. 22 No one in the United States of America must be permitted to be above the law. Forward complaint to New Mexico Attorney General with recommendation for prosecution of citizens Lorenzo Garcia, John Bannerman, and Carol Smith, for violation of the New Mexico state laws on harassment. 23 Grant other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper. I certify that I mailed a copy of this pleading to all defendants by certified - return receipt requested mail. _________________________________ _________________________________ Date William H Payne 13015 Calle de Sandias NE Albuquerque, NM 98111 505 292 7037 SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT COUNTY OF BERNALILLO STATE OF NEW MEXICO CASE NUMBER Arthur R Morales William H Payne Plaintiffs v Robert J Gorence John J Kelly Manuel Lucero Jan Elizabeth Mitchell Don F Svet Defendants Complaint for Writ of REPLEVIN and Relief from HARASSMENT 1 Citizens Morales and Payne file pro se Freedom of Information Act lawsuit 97cv0266 against the National Security Agency in New Mexico District federal court on February 27, 1997.

But no money has yet been garnished from Morales' wages by Sandia. 16 On July 21, 1999 Rio Grande Title refunds Morales' $625 [Exhibit M] which was taken from escrow account from property lien being held since November 25, 199.

It was a logical step to take for Netcom, given the state of IP client software for Windows at the time, but made obsolete pretty much the moment it was released by TIA. --Lucky Green <shamrock(a)cypherpunks.to> "Anytime you decrypt... its against the law".

CDR: Type I Remailer Software.
by drt＠un.bewaff.net 19 Oct '00

19 Oct '00

Can anybody suggest a Unix package for a Type I (Cypherpunk) Remailer? To me it seems everybody just rolls its own. But a full featured remailer with blacklisting, helptexts, headerrewriting, key rotation, pool, delay, spam protection (?), stats and so on has a significant complexty. I don't want to duplicate work done already by others. freedom seems to be the package which once got the most maintance but there seem to be no active developed remailer software for Unix today. Any comments/hints? drt -- DC hat so einen cryptischen Syntax, den muß man einfach lieben. ---Ingo Schwitters http://koeln.ccc.de/~drt/
