cypherpunks: Participa en vigilia para defender la vida!
by Psic�logos Colombianos 21 Jul '01

21 Jul '01

Por favor, cypherpunks, toma nota de este mensaje urgente: Laicos colombianos lanzan gran vigilia para Defender la vida y la familia Como una respuesta a las medidas legales que han favorecido al aborto, la eutanasia y la bigamia en el país, numerosas asociaciones laicales de Bogotá han convocado a una gran "Vigilia por la Vida y la Familia" para la próxima semana. Esperamos tu participación, cypherpunks, con tu presencia, reenvío de este mensaje y oración. Esta iniciativa de los laicos de la Arquidiócesis de Bogotá se realizará en la Plaza de Bolívar el 24 de julio de 6:30 a 8:30 p.m. y será presidida por el Cardenal Pedro Rubiano Sáenz, Arzobispo local. Entre los organizadores destacan la Fundación Vida y Verdad `Vive', el Movimiento de la Renovación Carismática Católica, el Consejo Arquidiocesano de Laicos, la Fundación Derecho a Nacer, el Encuentro de Novios, Comunión y Liberación, Equipos de Nuestra Señora, Cooperadores Salesianos, la Fundación Cultura de la Vida, Movimiento Secular Luis Variara, Laicos por Colombia, Movimientos Juveniles y los grupos de Pastoral Familiar de varias parroquias de la ciudad. Según los responsables, se escogió esa fecha por ser el día establecido para la entrada en vigencia del nuevo Código Penal que incluye una despenalización parcial del aborto. El objetivo de la vigilia, indicaron, es "que se acreciente en el Pueblo de Dios que peregrina en la Arquidiócesis de Bogotá, reunido en oración a Dios, Creador y amante de la vida, el compromiso en favor de la causa de la vida y de la familia como un aporte en la consecución de la anhelada paz". Además, "que se reavive en la opinión pública la conciencia sobre estos valores fundamentales; y, que se manifieste, en el ámbito de la participación democrática, la disconformidad ante decisiones estatales que han menoscabado la protección integral debida por los poderes y la sociedad a la vida humana y a la familia". En este sentido, los organizadores agregaron la urgencia de "emprender acciones de profundo impacto en la conciencia colectiva y en la sensibilidad pública para renovar el compromiso, también, con los derechos de los embriones y fetos, de los ancianos, enfermos incurables y de los agonizantes, dentro del empeño por respetar, proteger y servir la vida de todo ser humano". Las mismas fuentes indicaron que la vigilia "será un momento de oración para poner en manos de María, Madre de los vivientes, la causa de la vida, de niños a quienes se impide nacer, de pobres a quienes se hace difícil vivir, de las víctimas de masacres, secuestros, desplazamientos y de otras formas de inhumana violencia, de ancianos y enfermos muertos a causa de la indiferencia o de una presunta piedad, de matrimonios desunidos y hogares destruidos por el divorcio". €º°`°º€ø,žž,ø€º°`°º€øø€º°`°º€ø,žž,ø€º°`°º€øø€º°`°º€ Mira el asesinato de los inocentes: http://www.aciprensa.com/foto-abo.htm €º°`°º€ø,žž,ø€º°`°º€øø€º°`°º€ø,žž,ø€º°`°º€øø€º°`°º€ Por favor dale REENVIAR para repartir este mensaje entre tus amigos y conocidos.

You think DS won't have post-traumatic fun? Nice of Chuckie to jail a guy with two small kids. Guess he didn't learn much about the appropriate use of force. Obviously protesters doing anything *physically* threatening is just stupid, opposite to the 'appropriate use of force' principle, and generally harmful for getting this engineer out of immediate hassle. As stupid as trying to toss a heavy metal cylinder at a riot cop who'se got a head shot at close range.

OPT: DMCA Protest on the Capitol steps, AUSTIN, Texas, MONDAY, 11am-12:30pm (fwd)
by Jim Choate 21 Jul '01

21 Jul '01

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2001 19:49:18 -0400 (EDT) From: "Dkr. Armand Geddyn" <ageddyn(a)minitru.org> Reply-To: austin-cpunks(a)ssz.com To: austin-cpunks(a)einstein.ssz.com Subject: DMCA Protest on the Capitol steps, AUSTIN, Texas, MONDAY, 11am-12:30pm "DMCA Protest on the Capitol steps, AUSTIN, Texas, MONDAY, 11am-12:30pm" FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dkr. Armand Geddyn <ageddyn(a)minitru.org> Michael Badnarik 2002 Libertarian Campaign LAS VEGAS - On July 16, the American FBI arrested Russian citizen and PhD candidate Dmitry Sklyarov, after his presentation on encryption techniques and standards of Adobe's popular "eBook" format. Sklyarov is the first programmer to be arrested under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and is currently being held in a Las Vegas prison, awaiting extradition to California to face charges filed by Adobe. He has reportedly been denied contact with his employer, peers, or family. Sklyarov is, in short, a political prisoner as a result of the U.S.'s draconian copyright and intellectual property laws. What is the DMCA? Public Law No. 105-304 was signed into law by Congress October 28, 1998, and is often referred to as "the DMCA" or "the WIPO." In short, it is a fundamentally flawed and grossly unconstitutional act which, in part, makes it a federal crime to conduct and present otherwise legitimate cryptographic research. What does this mean? Imagine a toy secret decoder ring. Someone explains to you how to decode a secret message using that secret decoder ring. That person can be arrested for "trafficking in a product designed to circumvent copyright protection measures," if Adobe uses this simple encryption to "protect" its eBook content (which it does -- Adobe specifies ROT13 as part of its encryption standard). This is exactly what happened to Dmitry Sklyarov, when he explained a method for decrypting eBooks for legitimate, personal use. Another example is if Congress had passed a law banning the possession or sale of paper clips, hair pins and wire clothes hangers, because such insidious technologies could be used to pick locks, escape from handcuffs, or steal cars. In fact, they may as well have passed a law making it illegal to simply TALK about picking locks with hair pins. What can you do? Join Libertarian candidate Michael Badnarik (www.badnarik.org) the Ministry of Truth, and the Austin Cypherpunks on MONDAY, July 23, at the Capitol steps to show your support for Dmitry Sklyarov's plight and your opposition to the grossly unconstitutional DMCA. We expect there to be TV news representatives on the scene, so please be prepared to explain the effects of the DMCA concisely and succinctly. Where can I learn more? Read up on the DMCA Legislative History, at: http://www.hrrc.org/html/DMCA-leg-hist.html Read the Department of Justice's press release: http://www.eff.org/IP/DMCA/US_v_Sklyarov/20010717_doj_sklyarov_pr.html Read the Slashdot and Pigdog Journal reports, at: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/07/17/130226&mode=thread http://www.pigdog.org/auto/scary_tech/link/2155.html Michael Badnarik is expected to speak on this and other Libertarian issues on Austin's KLBJ 590 AM radio, Saturday, July 21, between 9 and 10pm. -- Dkr.

True, that would be great. But how many of the remaining 42 percent consider themselves educated, but are nevertheless content to mindlessly repeat mickey mouse platitudes and propaganda spoon-fed to them from on high, and who couldn't pass a rudimentary econ 101 test if their lives depended on it? More analysis, less rhetoric. ~Faustine.

RE: change your internet address

We were referred to you by a friend and understand that you may be interested in securing your very own domain name. Did you know that domain names are being registered at the rate of more than 30,000 per day? You should reserve your name domain now before someone else registers it. Do you want an email address that will suit your name, business or personal interest? If so, you need to secure your domain NOW at: http://www.WorldWideRegistry.net FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY . . . We invite you to take advantage of our special CHARTER RATE on dot com registrations. Register your dot com name now and save almost 50% off the regular rate of US$35. For a limited time only, secure your dot com name for just US$17.95 per year and you can keep it for life! To register your domain name or just check if your dot com name is still available, go to http://www.WorldWideRegistry.net IMPORTANT: More than 28 million dot com names have been registered already and good names are going fast. According to International Data Corporation, more than 800 mllion Internet users will have their own dot com name by 2003. Get your's before it's too late! To register your domain name or just check if your dot com name is still available, go to http://www.WorldWideRegistry.net =================================== WHY YOU NEED A DOT COM 1. Get a Better Name For Yourself Whether you are a professional, a business or just someone who uses e-mail a lot, you may find that your current e-mail address is too complicated or simply too boring to remember. Recently, dot com registrars have allowed ANYONE (businesses and consumers) to register dot com names up to 67 characters long. Because there can only be ONE unique dot com name in the world, many people are rushing to reserve their names before its taken by someone else. Some examples are: - msmith@westcoastconsulting,com - jenny@chan,com - johnbrown@bestwestdesigns,com - david@harpinder,com 2. Never Change Your E-Mail Address Again* Having your own dot com name allows you to KEEP your identity on the Internet. You will never have to change your e-mail address again once you have your own dot com name. Your will be able to move your e-mail address from one Internet provider to another because YOU OWN IT! Imagine the headaches and friends you will save by not having to inform everyone eachtime you change your e-mail address. 3. Thinking of a Web Site Later? Think Dot Com First!* If you have considered building a web site sometime in the future, you should reserve your dot com name today. Once you have your own dot com name, you will be able to use it for a matching web site address (www,YourName,com) later on. *Note: You will still require your ISP to host your email box. A dot com name ensures that you keep your email and web address no matter which ISP you are with.
