Bernstein's top lawyer, Cindy Cohn, testifies to Congress Tuesday
by John Gilmore 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The lead attorney in Dan Bernstein's challenge to the US export controls on cryptography is Cindy Cohn, a partner at McGlashan & Sarrail of San Mateo, CA. She will testify on the constitutionality of export controls (and proposed domestic controls) on cryptography, before the Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on the Constitution, Federalism, and Property Rights. The hearing will begin at 10AM (Washington, DC time) on Tuesday, March 17. The hearing will be cybercast in real-time, and will also be archived, at: http://www.computerprivacy.org (Scroll down to the "Encryption hearing to be cybercast" link.) Copies of Cindy's written testimony will be available on Tuesday from the EFF Web site; see http://www.eff.org/pub/Privacy/ITAR_export/Bernstein_case/ I hope you can attend. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has not yet ruled on the government's appeal in our case. They hope to overturn our Federal District Court case, in which all current export controls on cryptographic source code were declared unconstitutional. We expect a ruling within the next several months. John Gilmore Electronic Frontier Foundation Here are further details, courtesy of Alan Davidson of CDT, <abd(a)cdt.org>: (1) Senate Committee To Hold Encryption Hearing March 17 Constitutional law experts, industry representatives, and the attorney in a case challenging U.S. encryption regulations will testify on encryption policy before the Senate Judiciary Committee's Constitution, Federalism, and Property Rights Subcommittee on Tuesday, March 17. The hearing, "to examine privacy in the digital age, focusing on encryption and mandatory access issues", is scheduled for 10:00 am in the Senate's Dirksen Office Bldg., Rm. 226. Among the hearing highlights: Two well-respected legal scholars, Professor Kathleen Sullivan of Stanford Law School and Professor Richard Epstein of the University of Chicago, will outline the major constitutional concerns raised by domestic encryption controls and other policies to regulate encryption.

Cohn Testimony
by Cindy Cohn 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Here is the text of my testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Constitution, Federalism and Property Rights on Tuesday March 17. TESTIMONY OF CINDY A. COHN; LEAD COUNSEL, BERNSTEIN v. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, ET AL. I want to thank the Sub-Committee for inviting me here today. Although there have been very many hearings and much discussion about cryptography here in Washington, this is the first, I believe, to seek testimony from one of the attorneys directly involved in the legal challenges to the cryptography regulations. I've been asked here because I am lead counsel in the case of Bernstein v. Department of Justice, et al. With the help of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Professor Daniel J. Bernstein has been trying for over six years to publish on the Internet a simple cryptographic computer program which he wrote. He has been told that if he does, he will be prosecuted. We argued that American scientists, be they academics, in industry or hobbyists, should not have to submit their own work prior to publication to faceless government bureaucrats. This is especially so when those same bureaucrats have unchecked discretion to bar them from publishing his work. That is what the current scheme allows. In fact, before we brought suit those same agency bureaucrats told Professor Bernstein that publishing an academic paper about his software would be illegal and that putting his software into a public library would be illegal. The Federal District Court for the Northern District of California has agreed with us that the regulations are in violation of the First Amendment on their face, meaning that they violate the First Amendment rights of all Americans, not just Professor Bernstein. KARN AND JUNGER: TWO OTHER LEGAL CHALLENGES Two other similar cases are also pending. The first, Karn v. U.S. Department of State, is here in D.C. District Court. The Karn case is the clearest example of the quip often made about the Administration's cryptography policy--that it is based upon the belief that terrorists can't type. Mr. Karn was told that, although a book containing computer source code could be freely sent abroad, a floppy disk containing the exact same information could not. The second case, Junger v. Christopher, is in Cleveland, Ohio, and is based upon the government's position that Professor Junger, a law professor at Case Western University could be prosecuted for teaching a Computers and the Law course in his usual way. RULINGS OF THE BERNSTEIN CASE In the Bernstein case we have received three rulings from the District Court so far, all in our favor: 1) April 1996: Computer program source code is speech; 2) December 1996: ITAR was unconstitutional; 3) August 1997: New Commerce Department cryptography regulations issued in December, 1996 are unconstitutional. In short, the Federal District Court has declared that every single one of the current (and previous) regulations of encryption software are unconstitutional. The final ruling in our favor was appealed by the Administration, argued in December, 1997 before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and is now awaiting decision. I have attached a copy of the third District Court opinion to my written statement for your review. I hope you have your staff take the time to review it--it gives a clear and concise statement of some of the key constitutional requirements that any legislation on cryptographic software must meet and a better explanation than I could ever give you about why the current regulations are unconstitutional. As I mentioned before, the Bernstein case challenges the current government restrictions on cryptographic software on the grounds that they are in violation of the First Amendment. Although our case focuses, as it must, on the current regulations, the analysis would apply as well to proposed domestic restrictions which would restrict or license the creation, distribution or receipt of cryptographic software. Indeed, the constitutional problems which would arise if domestic controls were imposed are even more severe than those of the current scheme. The first doctrine of First Amendment law which the cryptography regulations violate is prior restraint of speech. The Bernstein case focuses on the easiest flaws to see in the current scheme--the lack of procedural protections. The Supreme Court has long held that if the government wants to institute a prepublication licensing scheme, it must contain: 1) Prompt decision - no more than 2 weeks; 2) Only a court can stop publication; the government must bring a court case rather than act administratively; 3) Government bears burden of proof in Court. This comes from a seminal Supreme Court case called Freedman v. Maryland. I should point out that as much as I would like to take credit for our legal analysis, we were not the first to see this problem. In fact, the first people to point out this problem in the regulations were in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel in 1978. You see, the agencies have known for 20 years that this scheme is unconstitutional. Their own lawyers told them so. That is why you never hear them mention the First Amendment in their presentations to you. COMPUTER SOFTWARE IS PROTECTED EXPRESSION The key point in our case, and in your consideration of any proposed legislation, is that source code is protected expression for purposes of the First Amendment. On this point, the administration largely agrees. Let me repeat that--the Administration has not denied that in regulating computer software it is also regulating the "expressive activities" of Americans. This conclusion, which is obvious to anyone who has ever written or read a computer program, is also consistent with what Congress has repeatedly acknowledged. Software is treated as identical to other forms of protected expression in both the Copyright Act and the Freedom of Information Act. From a legal standpoint, the Bernstein case is not complex, nor does it break any dramatic new ground. It simply asks the courts to recognize that the First Amendment extends to science on the Internet, just as it does to science on paper and in the classroom. For it is this scientific freedom which has allowed us to even have an Internet, as well as the many other technologies which we enjoy today. OTHER FIRST AMENDMENT TESTS WHICH CRYPTOGRAPHY REGULATION MUST MEET Up to this point everything I've said isn't just my opinion. It's been decided by the Federal District Court. My legal team and I believe that there are other strong Constitutional reasons which prevent the regulation of cryptographic software. The District Court did not need to address these additional reasons, since it agreed with us that the first alone was sufficient to invalidate the regulations. In addition to procedural protections, the Constitution requires that any regulation which institutes a licensing scheme, or any other form of prior restraint, pass the strictest of tests. Even a claim of national security or public safety must be carefully weighed against our fundamental rights, and must be supported with hard evidence of direct, immediate and irreparable harm, not just conjecture and a few frightening scenarios. Further, aside from prior restraint, a scheme which targets speech on the subject of cryptography and treats that speech differently from speech on other topics must pass the tests of strict scrutiny--that the regulation address a compelling government interest and be narrowly tailored to reach only that interest and no further. That is, the government's concern about national security cannot reach so broadly as to prevent law-abiding citizens from having access to software which they can use for completely lawful purposes. Put into another context, it means that the government cannot require all of us to deposit our house keys with them on the off chance that one of us is a criminal. Further, the government must prove that their restrictions on speech actually meet their goals. Here, such proof would be difficult since terrorists, pedophiles and drug dealers can simply purchase or download strong German, Swiss or Japanese encryption software that is freely available all over the U.S. and the world--over 500 at last count. If necessary, criminals could even type in or scan one of the computer programs printed in the many books published on the subject. THE ADMINISTRATION'S LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS FAIL THESE FIRST AMENDMENT TESTS Neither the current scheme nor any administration-supported, so-called "compromise" schemes proposed so far addresses these First Amendment problems. And even the SAFE bill, which is well-intentioned, fails to contain an assurance of judicial review of any agency decision to prevent publication due to alleged national security concerns, a key element required by the Constitution. SAFE also does not clearly protect scientists such as Professor Bernstein, but only protects those who seek to distribute mass market software already available abroad. This means that American scientists can no longer participate in the ongoing international development of this vital and important area of science. ENCRYPTED SPEECH IS STILL SPEECH In addition, we believe that regulation of encryption software and technology violates the First Amendment because of what encryption does. Encryption allows people to use electronic envelopes to protect their speech. The Supreme Court has noted that a state could not regulate ink or paper without raising constitutional concerns. We believe that similarly the government cannot prevent Americans from using electronic envelopes or require them to use key-escrowed envelopes without violating their First Amendment rights. This is because such rules compel them to speak to the Government anytime they wish to speak to anyone else. Encrypted speech is still speech. The elimination of privacy creates a chilling effect on that speech which implicates the First Amendment. ENCRYPTION WAS USED BY THE FOUNDING FATHERS In fact, in our research for this case we have discovered that the Founding Fathers used cryptography on a regular basis. Even the Constitution and the Bill of Rights themselves were often encoded, as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison exchanged drafts of those seminal documents. Cryptography was used by a virtual Who's Who of the American Founding Fathers--not only Jefferson and Madison but Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John and Abigail Adams, Aaron Burr, and many others. In sharp contrast to the Administration's arguments today, they viewed cryptography as an essential instrument for protecting information, both political and personal. Our research indicates that when the First and Fourth Amendments were enacted in the late 1700s, any suggestion that the Government should have the ability to prevent individuals from encrypting their messages, or that the Government should have a back-door key to all encrypted messages, would have struck the Constitution's framers as ridiculous. CONCLUSION In sum, our legal challenge to the current restrictions on encryption software is succeeding. It is succeeding because the First Amendment is clearly violated when the government institutes a prepublication licensing scheme which allows agency bureaucrats unfettered discretion to prevent American scientists from publishing their own ideas. It is succeeding because the Courts have recognized the importance of keeping the First Amendment intact as we move into the information age. As you consider the many legislative proposals about cryptography, we hope you will do the same. ****************************** Cindy A.

Prologue 8/0
by nobody＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

SAHMD -- Prologue 8/0 --------------------- Note from a disinterested party: A quick perusal of the various chapters of "Space Aliens Hide My Drugs" indicates to me that Timothy C. May will be unable to understand the chaotic YoungEsque structure of this release of the manuscripts, whereas John F. Young will be unable to understand the serious, grounded basis of rationale behind the often confusing, shot-gun blatherings being perpetrated upon the reader (unless, of course, JFA reads it during one of his drug-free periods during which he maintains one of the most detailed and pertinent databases ever assembled, concerning the privacy, security, and freedom issues of the day). Thus I will take it upon myself to interpret the current Circle of Eunuchs manuscript which is being spammed upon the Cypherpunks mailing lists in the interests of ensuring that sanity and decorum do not gain the upper hand among the spooks, psychotics, sociopaths and nuclear physicists who use the list to vent male hormones which exceed the level which normal society finds acceptable. ***** For starters, "Space Aliens Hide My Drugs," although often spoke of by the Author as the title of h/is/er evenutal autobiography, was begun by an entity who was either attempting to provide cover-fire for the son of gomez during his TruthMonger Soft-Target Tour, or by an agent of a government agency which was monitoring that tour. Analysis of the opening chapters show conclusively that they were written on an early version of a Sperry computer, using WordPerfect 4.2. The computer in question had =~= 256K of RAM, situated on an add-in board. Prologue 1/0 ------------ Written by someone with a comprehensive knowledge of the Author's background, but with subtle self-denigrating slams against his character and history which suggest it was written by someone whose goal was to cast the Author in a negative light which goes far beyond that which the Author h/im/erself reveals in the process of viewing h/is/er life with basic objectivity. The increasingly violent rhetoric, combined with a challenge to a female member of the Cypherpunks whom the Author holds in the utmost respect, tends to confirm that this chapter was initiated, not by a fellow initiate into the Circle of Eunuchs, but by a member of one of the agencies monitoring h/im/er, in the hope that s/he would eventually 'take the bait' and continue h/is/er autobiography in an open and forthright manner which would lead to an increasing quantity of evidence concerning h/is/er state of mind which could be legally used during the course of government prosecution. Prologue 2/0 ------------ This was introduced by a post, allegedly from L. Reed, which seemed to have a purpose only of implicating Ms. Reed and J. Tolkoff in the writing and desemination of the SAHMD manuscript. Prologue 2/0, proper, is written from the point of view of someone who was surrupticiously monitoring CJ Parker's attendance at a Bay-Area Cypherpunks physical meeting. Its goal seems to be to legitimatize the character and activities of C2Net and its raghead leader, Sameer, in a way that goes totally contrary to the Author's view of them as shadowy entities in league with the Evil One. Prologue 3/0 & 3a/0 ------------------- All indications are that this chapter was written by, or under the direction of, Larry Joe Dowling, the Austin attorney who flew to Las Vegas to warn old Doc Parker that his autobiography had been set in motion by government entities which were working against his self-interests. Only Dowling would have likely been familiar with the persona known as Justin Case, a musician that Parker met only one time, at a late- night picking/drinking session at Dowling's residence outside of Austin. Only Dowling would have been likely to recognize the close affinity between "The Electronic Privacy Papers" and "Paper Prison." Prologue 4/0 ------------ Analysis of past communications between toto(a)sk.sympatico.ca and camcc(a)abraxis.com indicate that this chapter was written by Alec McCrackin, a Circle of Eunuchs member purportedly working as a CoE double agent, deep within the bowels (this week's 'catch phrase') of the BXA in Georgia, but actually a triple-agent working to expose the source and goals of the 'True Story of the InterNet' manuscripts, as well as a quadruple-agent working for MI9 and pulling down some serious money collecting all of those paychecks... Prologue 5/0 ------------ Written by Bianca, a CoE member renowned far and wide for a pair of stand-up titties that men would abandon thrones and fortunes for. "The Story Thus Far: (Or so we would have you believe...)" is a classical trademark of the woman who has 'monitored the monitors' since her initiation into the Circle of Eunuchs, and who has provided much of the insider information that is openly disseminated in 'The True Story of the InterNet" manuscripts, surrounded by details which seem outlandish and overblown to those who have never experienced the true depth of the mystery and intrigue taking place behind the scenes of what the average person views as reality. Prologue 6/0 ------------ This chapter was ghost-written by a resident of the Home For The Criminally Insane, who transcribed the barkings of the Author's dog, Baby (aka - MongrelMonger), who claims to be a Fox Terrorist. Baby is purported to be the inspiration behind the soon-to-be worldwide phenomena known as the Army of Dog. Prologue 7/0 ------------ Written by Kent Crispin, a CypherPunk who was torn between his work as a Government Schill (TM) and his obligations as a full initiate of the Circle of Eunuchs, until he received a private email from the Author, stating that Kent was welcome to 'rat me out' at any given point in time in order to protect his family, with the explaination from the Author that, 'I am expendable--that's my role in the CoE.' Prologue 8/0 ------------ This chapter was not written by me...it is an obvious forgery...

Excretion from Prologue 7/0 of Space Aliens Hide My Drugs: The only hope for Netizens to resist becoming Digital Sheeple behind the ElectroMagnetic Curtain which the forces of censorship/repression are striving to put in place is for each member of the coming Army of Dog to mark their meatspace and cyberspace territory and refuse to go gently into the night when the Oppressor attempts to scare them into submission with a mountain of laws and regulations which promise unjust persecution for imaginary offenses. A Global InterNet Army of individuals committed to freedom must strive to create a maximum entropy within which the chaos of semiotic evolution can break the digital chains which the Statist Oppressors are seeking to use to bind and repress access to information, global communication, free speech/expression, and the evolution of the Universal Life Energy, itself.

Will New Sendmail Block Remailers?
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Markoff in the NYT reports today on the release of a new Sendmail upgrade by author Eric Allman that will block spam by checking the legitimacy of the originating address before delivery. The report claims that spam is up to 10% of e-mail worldwide, And that Sendmail is used on 75% of the computers that route e-mail, all of which are being fitted with the new program. What are the chances that this will affect remailers or other means of eternal anonymity? Except Sualk, GL, UB and Nuh, all of whom we now know are Otot GinPu Tca as those crazy Syug Irtmid Irun.

BIOS, FBI/ERF, Barbara Boxer,
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Tuesday 3/17/98 6:29 AM Charles Christopher, FBI/NY http://www.fbi.gov/fo/nyfo/nytwa.htm John Gilmore Christopher, I received a phone call Monday morning. The caller asked me to modify my resume to reflect my experience with PC BIOS. I added the following lines. Attended Annabooks University week-long course on ROMing BIOS in 1992. Sixteen years experience interfacing high-level languages to BIOS. Reverse engineering BIOS and DOS for Sandia Labs weapons controller. Custom BIOS modifications experience for electronic locks for the FBI/Engineering Research Facility using Pentium processors. The FBI paid my course tuition for the Annabooks course. http://www.annabooks.com/ I learned several months after Sandia manager Tommy Sellers, who was entering the crypto business, and ombudsman Harvey Brewster gave me a directed transfer to break electronic locks for the FBI that the FBI DOES NOT GET COURT ORDERS to do normally illegal work. The FBI my FBI/ERF supervisors, Mike Uttaro, and his boss Mike McDevitt told me that they believe that the above work is CLASSIFIED SECRET. http://www.fbi.gov/ I think that we should get this matter settled before it GETS WORSE. Gilmore, I saw at http://www.jya.com/acp-pols.htm BOXER CONTINUES EFFORTS TO OPPOSE U.S. EXPORT LIMITS ON COMPUTER ENCRYPTION March 4, 1998 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) joined Americans for Computer Privacy and a delegation of bipartisan lawmakers at a news conference today to oppose U.S. export limits on encryption technology. The following is Senator Boxers statement. Since the high-tech revolution, Americans have learned that privacy protection is of the utmost importance. Encryption technology is a key component in protecting our privacy - it is the lock on the door that guarantees not only our privacy, but often our safety as well. Boxer also is known for the following quote Those who survived the San Francisco earthquake said, Thank God, Im still alive. But, of course, those who died, their lives will never be the same again. - Representative Barbara Boxer, after the 1994 [sic] earthquake Weird History 101 John Richard Stephens http://www/adamsmedia.com Sandian Ron Pate and I were seated in a SF airport satellite area during that earthquake. Pate and I worked on electronic tagging for the CTBT. This used public key crypto. I used the Cylink CY1024 for that project. Electronic locks are mostly connected to Pcs. The PC keeps both a printed record and disk log entrys. Electronic lock programmers do not and cannot rewrite an operating system. Therefore, the simplest way to defeat an electronic lock is to modify BIOS. Intercept the electronic lock programmer call to BIOS, look for a known credential, open the door, and suppress the writes to printer and disk. Not too tough to do. But I was told to modify MANY SYSTEMS which I could NOT DO. Hirsch, CardKey, Sensor engineering, .... I was being set up to fail. Looks like your legal stuff is paying off in political support. Lets hope we get this crypto mess settled so that we can all move on to more constructive projects. Later bill

Data Fellows Lauches New Version of the Famous F-Secure SSH Products
by Mia Westerholm 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Data Fellows Ltd. Media Release For immediate release 17 March 1998 DATA FELLOWS LAUNCHES NEW VERSIONS OF THE FAMOUS F-SECURE SSH PRODUCTS The improved F-Secure SSH product family is a unique tool for secure remote systems administration ESPOO, FINLAND --- Data Fellows, a leading provider of Internet security solutions, has launched new versions of its famous F-Secure SSH products. F-Secure SSH Tunnel&Terminal and F-Secure SSH Server protect TCP/IP-based terminal connections in UNIX, Windows and Macintosh environments. They enable remote systems administrators and telecommuters to access corporate networks via any Internet Service Provider without revealing system passwords and other secrets to possible eavesdroppers. "In addition to providing secure login connections, F-Secure SSH Server secures all remote systems administration tasks by providing secure tools to replace the existing rsh, rlogin, rcp, rdist and telnet protocols," says Mr. Olli Voima, Product Development Manager of F-Secure SSH. "As a new feature, the secure file transfer application offers an easy-to-use graphical interface for the safe transfer of files." F-Secure SSH Tunnel&Terminal and F-Secure SSH Server support the forwarding of TCP/IP services like pop, smtp (used by e-mail software), http (used by Web browsers), etc., or almost any other TCP/IP-based service. The local proxy server in F-Secure SSH Tunnel&Terminal listens for a socket on the desired port and forwards the request and data over the secure channel. It then instructs the F-Secure SSH Server to make the connection to the specified service on the remote machine. Automatic forwarding of the X11 Windowing System secures graphical applications. F-Secure SSH products are based on the SSH protocol, an application level security mechanism used in conjunction with Internet protocols. "The SSH protocol is the most widely audited and standardized security protocol in the world," says Mr. Voima. "Its strong end-user authentication and encryption leave no room for security compromises. As a European company, Data Fellows is not restricted by the US export regulations, and has thus been able to make strong encryption available worldwide. F-Secure SSH host authentication is based on 1024-bit RSA keys, and the secure connections use 128-bit session keys." In addition to being strongly secured, the F-Secure SSH products are easy to use. The single sign-on technology makes the handling of multiple terminal sessions simple. Says Mr. Voima: "Easy-to-use and strongly secured, F-Secure SSH is a truly unique security solution for remote systems administration." About Data Fellows: Data Fellows is one of the worlds leading developers of data security products with offices in San Jose, California and Espoo, Finland. Its groundbreaking F-Secure product family is a unique combination of globally available, strong encryption and revolutionary anti-virus software. The integrated F-Secure product range provides a complete security solution for enterprises, and includes file encryption and IPSec communication encryption products, VPN gateways, SSH based secure remote management software, and a full range of anti-virus products to workstations, servers and gateways. Data Fellows is also the developer of the award winning F-PROT Professional anti-virus, now part of the dual scanning engine concept of F-Secure Anti-Virus. Data Fellows is privately owned. Since it was founded in 1988, its annual net growth of net sales has been over 80%. Data Fellows offers a worldwide network of technical support, training and distribution in over 70 countries.

Local Law Oppose FBI on Crypto
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A point made at Senator Ashcroft's crypto hearing going on now, made by James J. Fotis, of the Law Enforcement Alliance of America, is that many local police departments do not want the FBI and federal agencies snooping on them, thus, they oppose the FBI's stance on crippled crypto. To be sure, they may fear the feds because of local corruption, but it's a crack in the blue wall solidarity that the FBI has heretofore vaunted.

Back in the 'old days', when I had to walk ten miles, uphill, in a blinding snowstorm, only to find that computers did not exist yet, I was a founder of one of the first Canadian anti-nuclear grassroots organizations. Once the anti-nuke movement had progressed to the point where it was a viable entity, worthy of press coverage, etc., the Canadian government began to 'recognize' the legitimacy of the movement, and to 'fund' it (hee-hee). I went to the self-congratulatory celebration party held by the members of the group I had founded who had managed to line up at the government trough by abandoning their ethics and values in favor of a government-mandated policy of taking a 'reasonable' middle-road in the group's activities. I was there for eleven minutes. I spent the first five minutes shoveling as much free food as humanly possible down my throat. I spent the next five minutes draining every bottle of free liquor in sight down my throat. I spent the next minute barfing everything I had consumed all over the government representative who was in attendance to make certain that everyone was toeing the line and not saying 'bad things' about the Canadian government or the Nuclear Power Industry. Prologic Management Systems, Inc., bought Basis, Inc., in Berzerkeley a couple years ago (considered by some to be the main lair of a secret organization dedicated to preventing the Evil One from using computer technology to imprison the minds and souls of humankind). My research indicated that Prologic was a spook-owned 'company killer' which specialized in buying out and decimating companies who actually had a capacity to resist the diabolical aims of the NWO. When Network Associates bought PGP, I did similar research on NAI and Network General, and came to the same conclusions. > ("Psst! Buy PGP > and fuck it over until no one recognizes or trusts it, > and we'll throw you a $50 million contract next year > from our Black Budget!") I have a friend in Arizona who asks me for investment advice, and I recently told him to invest heavily in companies being acquired by WorldComm. My rationalization for his investing heavily in companies in league with the Anti-Christ was that, when Jesus comes back, he'll have enough money to buy him a meal and drinks at the best restaurant in town, thus redeeming himself. > This is a Pretty Good Example of why it was a Pretty > Bad Idea to form PGP, Inc. in the first place.

The government uses the carrot-stick method on the citizen-animal. First, it gives them the carrot/benefit for registering their identity with the government (SSN#) and then it gives them the stick/buttfucking once they are identified and categorized.

Corporate Children

[Bienfait Nutly News] IN A RIOTOUS, DRUNKEN ORGY AT THE COALDUST SALOON, representatives of Canadian Funeral Home Association celebrated their success in bribing enough Canadian officials, bureaucrats, politicians and mobsters to pull off the advertising coupe of the century. Beginning on April 19, 1998, at 9:02 a.m., Canadian funeral homes will be able to bid on advertising space on the ceilings of maternity wards, birthing rooms and infant care facilities across the nation. Jealous of the recent success of soft-drink and liquor companies in gaining a virtual stranglehold on the public school and college market, the CFHA appealed to the North American Advertising Coalition for support, on the grounds that establishing a Cradle-to-Grave precedent for access to the minds of the citizens would be good for the industry as a whole. Lou Armbuster, who engineered Smith & Wesson's successful bid for access to the prison advertising market, stated, "We are certain that this will be a major step in preventing people from putting off dealing with funeral arrangements until it is too late, leaving their relatives vulnerable to unscrupulous operators during their period of grief." When asked about the rumor that the "Vote Hoffa" ads appearing on the sides of the majority of coffins recently was part of a pre- arranged deal for Teamster Union support, Mr. Armbuster punched out the lights of the reportwhore who asked the question. PGP Inc., under fire recently for the fact that their latest version of Corporate GAKware has a 'comment' line that defaults to "Louis Freeh for President!", contends that it does not constitute free political advertising, since the customer has the option to change it. Nevertheless, PGP refuses to drop their lawsuit against the FrostBack they consider responsible for hacking their system and altering their source code so that new versions of PGP installed on Canadian systems have a default comment line of "Cindy Cohn has a great ass!" ----- The Bienfait Nutly News is in no way connected to the Left Nutly News or the Right Nutly News.

The Eighth Word You Can't Say On The Internet
by nobody＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Armies Gather by Jeff Elliott The most surprising place where anti-abortion provisions have appeared, however, was in the mammoth Telecommunications Deregulation Bill. Late in the day of January 30th, Colorado Representative Pat Schroeder made an unpleasant discovery: a last-minute addition appeared to make it a crime to discuss abortion on the Internet. The Telcom Bill already had the controversial "Communications Decency Act" that made it a felony to mention the seven dirty words forbidden on radio or TV; that was well known, and much discussed in both the House and the Senate. But this abortion clause was new, and would make "abortion" the eighth word banned from cyberspace. The ACLU and 19 other organizations filed for a temporary restraining order on the same day that Clinton signed the bill. But while the federal judge ruled, the vague "indecency" provisions were probably unconstitutional and should be heard by a special 3-judge panel, the restraining order on the abortion section was denied. Schroeder and others are trying to repeal the ancient law behind these restrictions, but passage in the rightward-tilted House is far from certain.

EMI, Van Eck, etc.
by The Spectre 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

In almost every writing I've come across regarding Van Eck, I notice the phrase "...simply a modified television" or something along those lines. Does anyone have a document for actually modifying a television set to do this sort of thing? It doesn't have to be extremely long ranged, and could in fact be very short range.. I am interested in performing my own experiments into defeating this sort of eavesdropping. Also, would it be possible to scramble the signal into an unusable level by simply putting another device emanating RF at the snooping frequencies nearby the machine that you want to protect? Something generating white noise at that frequency, but with a purposely built antenna, say a high gain type turned outward from the monitor, with a significantly higher power output than the monitor? Thanks.. -The Spectre [SP4 w/ Clam Cluster] -http://www.anthrax.net/cos "No man is clever enough to know all the evil he does." - La Rochefoucauld
