Well, its official. Warchalking (802.11x domain marking) appeared on the US edition of the BBC News. No hype re: anonymity & t*rr*r*sm & tigers & bears; a mention though of service-contract violations, and the gift community concept. Thank you Mr. Beeb.

GAMING ADVISOR NEWS July 16, 2002 i2corp Enters into Research and Development Agreement with Nevada Gaming Equipment Supplier For Live Remote Bingo. The general feeling of the Top Internet Lawyers and Analysts is that "online gambling and sports betting is here to stay. Attempts at trying to stop it would be largely ineffective! Banning Internet gambling and sports betting presents technical and legal problems that Governments are ill equipped to enforce. Whats more, there are NO competitors for the Companys method or technology for remote wagering. i2corp is the Only Company in the World that can legally license its method and technology for remote wagering. i2corp is currently negotiating with Major Casinos Globally. Michael Pollock of the Pollock Gaming Resource Group (PRRG) has issued a report studying the effects of live wagering from remote locations. The study concludes that live wagering from remote locations does more than create a new source of revenue for sponsoring casinos. Additionally, it creates a marketing opportunity, a means to find and cultivate thousands of new customers who can be encouraged to become on-site patrons. A copy of the full report in pdf format can be downloaded at http://www.gamingobserver.com/. i2corp is the holding company for Home Gambling Network, Inc. HGN holds U.S. Patent 5,800,268, which covers remote wagering on live games and events with electronic financial transactions. The Patent is comprised of three primary actions: the gambling is live; the player is remote and physically away from the actual game or event; and the winnings and losses are transacted electronically in real time. They include, but are not limited to, horse racing, soccer, bingo, poker, roulette and many other Las Vegas Casino Games. FACT: Currently there is an overwhelming opinion that remote wagering in real-time will become one of the most profitable/prolific industries worldwide. i2corp recently won judgment against giant UUNET a subsidiary of MCI/WorldCom in a U.S. Federal Court for Patent infringement. Just another compelling reason why i2corp has orphaned their competition! Therefore we conclude i2corps common stock to be overlooked and undervalued! For Current Quote click here!

Habeus Corpus
by Matthew X 24 Jul '02

24 Jul '02

CHARGE THEM OR RELEASE THEM!! Two Australian citizens Mr. Hicks and Mr. Habib are United States prisoners at Camp X in Cuba. Hicks was arrested in Afghanistan and Habib was arrested in Pakistan. Both men are held as ?hostile combatants¹ by the United States military, outside the jurisdiction of the United States Courts as well as the Geneva Convention on prisoners of war. Over 300 prisoners from many countries are held indefinitely at Camp X by the United States military. If Hicks and Habib have committed crimes, they should be charged with these crimes. If they haven¹t they should be released and should be returned to their families in Australia. After the Second World War, prisoners of war who were not charged with crimes that fell outside the conventions of war, were released and sent home. Those that were charged with crimes were dealt with before military courts or special courts that were set up to deal with the charges. What¹s especially galling about the current situation, is the Federal government¹s inability and unwillingness to offer the normal diplomatic assistance that is offered to Australians who find themselves in difficulty overseas. The Australian government has gone out of its way to ignore the plight of Hicks and Habib, both Australian citizens with families in Adelaide and Melbourne. The German government made representations to the United States government and had its citizens released from Camp X. Why can¹t the Australian government do the same? Hicks¹ and Habib¹s continued detention is directly linked to the Australian government¹s refusal to offer assistance to them because it disagrees with their political philosophy. Hicks¹ and Habib¹s continued detention and the way their case has been handled by the Australian government has important ramifications for all Australians who go overseas, whose political opinions don¹t match the opinions of the government of the day. The Australian government should protect the interests of all its citizens, not just those with similar political viewpoints. The precedent that has been set by the Australian government¹s inaction over the fate of Hicks and Habib, has important ramifications for all Australians who travel overseas.

Anarchist Q+A.Q. How would an anarchist society deal with sexual crimes?
by Matthew X 24 Jul '02

24 Jul '02

ANARCHIST QUESTION AND ANSWER Q. How would an anarchist society deal with sexual crimes? A. The standard answer that many anarchists give when confronted with this question is that sexual crimes would decrease in a society based on the free expression of sexuality. Unfortunately this answer doesn¹t even come close to answering the question asked. Whether a more open attitude to sexuality decreases crimes of a sexual nature is difficult to say, what is undeniable is that anarchist societies will have to deal with sexual predators. If the problem is not discussed and guidelines are not set, it¹s probable that sexual crimes will continue to be a major problem in an anarchist community. The epidemic of sexual crimes that have been and continue to be committed against children have to a large degree occurred because adults in a position of authority have had almost unlimited power in their dealings with children. This combined with easy access to children, communities not willing to even discuss the possibility of sexual abuse and a culture of silence which blames the victim for the sexual abuse, combine and set the necessary preconditions for widespread sexual abuse of children. The problem of sexual abuse isn¹t exclusively a patriarchal, heterosexual or homosexual problem, it¹s a problem that exists in all cultures where the division of power is a problem. The greater the power held by an individual, whether in a family setting among workmates or friends in the community or in a institutionalised sense, the greater the level of sexual abuse. Ways in which sexual abuse can be combated, but not eliminated, include education about what is and isn¹t sexual abuse, the breakdown of inequalities between individuals whether institutionalised or non-institutionalised, exposure at the first hint of a problem and promoting individual financial independence. Practical ways of dealing with the possibility of sexual abuse include electing or appointing members of the community who act as points of first call for potential victims if there is a hint of a problem. Individuals within the community having the power to call a meeting to discuss a potential problem. The community involved having the power to set limits on the freedom individuals have who have been accused and found guilty of sexual crimes and long term compulsory counselling. What most experts agree on, is that imprisonment does not alter behaviour. In many cases imprisonment makes the problem worse as many people imprisoned for sexual crimes continue to re-offend when released. Sexual abuse is a universal human problem that has dogged all cultures and all societies. Those societies that openly discuss the problem break down the inequalities that exist between people. They provide an easy framework for reporting the problem and attempt to deal with cases of sexual abuse openly and quickly incorporate counselling and treatment for offenders, as well as restrict re-offenders access to potential victims, are those that have the best chance of managing a problem that poses a challenge for all societes including anarchist societies.

High Treason
by Matthew X 24 Jul '02

24 Jul '02

AUSTRALIAN RADICAL HISTORY THE EUREKA SERIES NO. 25 "THE FIRST HIGH TREASON TRIAL" Hotham decided to hold separate trials for the 13 accused. John Joseph the Afro-American who was accused of firing the first shot that killed Captain Wise, was the first brought to trial. The government believed that a jury would have no trouble convicting a black man. A number of lawyers came forward to help those accused of High Treason. Butler Aspirall and Henry Chapman appeared for Joseph while the Attorney General Stawell represented the Queen. The first clash came with the selection of the jury. The Crown challenged potential Irish jurors and publicans. John Joseph sent the court into a spin when he objected to gentlemen and merchants being selected on the jury. No Irish jurors were picked for jury for Joseph¹s trial. The Crown called two government spies to give evidence, both claimed they saw Joseph in the stockade. Two privates from the 40th regiment claimed they saw Joseph fire the first shot that struck down Captain Wise. The charge against Joseph that had to be proven, was that Joseph had attempted to subvert the authority of the Crown in the colony by wounding and killing her soldiers in other words the Crown had to prove ?treasonable intent". The defence lawyers didn¹t call any witnesses and made much of the point that "a riotous nigger" or a "political Uncle Tom" could have "treasonable intent", leaving it up to the jury to decide if Joseph had any intent to commit treason. The jury returned quickly from their deliberations, finding John Joseph not guilty of High Treason. Pandemonium broke out in the court at the not guilty verdict. The cheering was so loud that Chief Justice Beckett (the residing judge) in a fit of pique, singled out two members of the public gallery and jailed them for a week for contempt of court. "On emerging from the Court house, he was put in a chair and carried round the streets of the city in triumph" Ballarat Star. Over 10,000 people had come to hear the jury¹s verdict. When you consider that Melbourne¹s population wasn¹t even 100,000, the crowds that had gathered to listen to the jury¹s verdict were an indication of how important many people believed these trials were.

Police to go on strike?
by Matthew X 24 Jul '02

24 Jul '02

Police claim right to strike By Paula Doneman and David Potter July 25, 2002 A NEW industrial battleground has emerged after police union officials yesterday claimed legal advice asserted that the state's 8000 serving officers had the right to strike. The advice, which challenged the long-held assumption that police were prohibited from striking, was unveiled in a letter yesterday from the Queensland Police Union to Police Minister Tony McGrady. The letter was sent hours after the Government cancelled an enterprise bargaining meeting at which a new pay offer was to be tabled.MORE AT... http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,4771264%255E4… Victorian police swear an oath of loyalty to the queen that some police say precludes strike action.Didnt stop one station at Frankston taking wildcat actions and in the 1920's the entire state force went off...we live in hope.
