Here is the signature block from the "ring signature" program which got truncated. I'll try sending it through a few different anon remailers until it gets through.

It won't happen here (will it PeterT?)

Matthew >>I want to comment on something else here, which I find to be a common trait with US citizens: "it can't happen here". The Chinese gov't can do anything they like, because any citizen who would try to "keep watch" would find himself shot. What basic law of the universe says that this can't happen in the US? What exactly will prevent them, 10 years from now, to say "compelling state interests require that we get to do whatever we want with the little box"? You already have an official "gov't against 1st ammendment" policy, from what I've read. Mark I hear Luke and John are concerned as well,Peter?

Laptops a go go.
by Matthew X 10 Aug '02

10 Aug '02

The seven Attorney General agencies that saw computer equipment do a disappearing act in 2001 were; the Australian Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Australian Federal Police, ASIO, Family Court, National Crime Authority, National Native Title Tribunal and the Department of Public Prosecution, spokesperson for the Attorney General, Catherine Fitzpatrick confirmed. Fitzpatrick also said that the fact that all the agencies concerned had "very good encryption" meant confidential information couldn't have gone astray. "If you're not the user of that laptop, you'll not be able to access it," she said. However, Labor said this explanation was unsatisfactory and didn't take into consideration the fact that computer equipment could be stolen internally for personal use. "How do we know the person responsible for the laptop didn't take it?" asked Senator Lundy's spokesperson. The federal Opposition said that resumption of Senate Estimates on February 18 would give it the opportunity to enquire further about the missing laptops and ask questions such as how much the replacement value of the equipment would cost the taxpayer and whether or not police investigations were being conducted into the vanishing computers. http://www.zdnet.com.au/newstech/communications/story/0,2000024993,20262975…

http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,4872312%255E662,0… Spy chief flees to Australia By CHRIS GRIFFITH 10aug02 A MYSTERY Middle-Eastern buyer of $50 million of prime Brisbane real estate has been identified as Bahrain's fugitive deputy head of intelligence, sought by Interpol for fraud. Colonel Adel Jassim Felaifel this year fled to Australia from Bahrain, where he feared for his life because of political reforms. Searches show firms associated with him own property including the Queensland Government's old Family Services building in Brisbane and the former FAI Insurance Building - a $50 million portfolio. But two international figures - Omar Ali Babtain, president and chief executive of United Medical Group, and Khalid Bin Nasser Bin Abdulla Al Misnad, president of the Misnad Group, an international trading and building company - have lodged an application in Queensland's Supreme Court challenging Mr Felaifel's ownership of the Brisbane sites. In court documents Mr Felaifel has detailed his role from 1979-2000 as head of Bahrain's Security Intelligence Service "Shia section". "I investigated accusations of such political crimes, using normal police procedures, and questioned people accused of these crimes," Mr Felaifel said. But he strongly denied allegations of torture made against him in a court affidavit. Court documents say Interpol sought Mr Felaifel's arrest on a request from the Bahrain Government on May 20. Mr Babtain's affidavit said Mr Felaifel has a former wife and three small children in Bahrain, a wife and children in Sweden, a relationship with a former Gulf Air stewardess, an Australian national, and another Gulf Air stewardess "wife", Brisbane-born Anne Cherie Windsor, who owns five Queensland properties. Mr Babtain said Mr Felaifel sold him and Mr Misnad properties in the Middle East but never transferred the contracts. The two allege their money funded his Australian purchases. Mr Felaifel denies wrongdoing and says he is owed $25 million in debts. He said political circumstances in his country changed when the king died in 2000. "His son introduced political reforms, including freedom of political expression, and released political detainees." Mr Felaifel felt he had to leave the country for his safety on May 2 this year.

http://www.arabnews.com/Cartoon.asp FROM http://www.arabnews.com/Static/Supplement.asp "The biggest problem before the country's planners under the leadership of King Fahd was to strike a balance in the employment of the Internet. KACST executives were aware of its need not only in business, finance, education and communications, but also culturally. Critics in the past had raised questions about the delay in the launching of the Internet, and then the close monitoring of websites. What they failed to understand was that a new technology could not be just imposed on people before the proper groundwork had been done. The users were to be educated on the pros and cons of the new technology and a mechanism was to be involved to keep the society away from the negative sides of the Internet. Many Western and other developed countries are now following what Saudi Arabia understood at the beginning. The aim was to strike a balance between technological advancement, culture and religion and today none of the three components undermine any of the others. During a symposium on the Internet in Dammam, Eastern Province Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman Khaled Al-Zamil said: "We spare no effort to enter the IT world without fear and hesitation, because we have established a scientific base which qualifies us to enter such world and gain its benefits but at the same time distance ourselves from what causes harm to our religion and ourselves."

: WATER RIGHTS Aug 8 2002 Families Fight Coca-Cola in Kerala for Water Coca Cola Virudha Samara Samithy (Anti Coca-Cola Struggle Committee) organized a mass rally and public meeting at Plachimada, India on August 4, marking the 105th day of a campaign against the company. A spirited march proceded to the plant, accompanied by many from the surrounding communities, as well as numerous police. Speakers discussed the ongoing theft by Coca-Cola of water throughout the region, poor labor conditions inside the plant, and the complicity of Indian political parties in abetting multi-national corporations. This ongoing struggle against this plant in the state of Kerala was launched on April 22, with a symbolic blockade and an ongoing continuous picketing/dharna by women and children belonging to the Eravalar and Malasar communities. Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd established the bottling plant, and subsequently sunk more than 60 borewells on the premises, which is adjacent to a major irrigation canal, and several kilometers from numerous reservoirs and the Chitturpuzha River. Water in the area has both become depleted and polluted. This more than three month long campaign has included blockades of the plant, lawsuits both against and on behalf of the protestors, destruction of advertisements, and numerous rallies and marches.
