Too Hot!!!
by Spdrcr7719 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

This really is a blast. With all these movies coming out about virtual reality, it's amazing to actually have a virtual reality program like this for your own computer. The Virtual Girlfriend and Virtual Boyfriend are artificial intelligence programs for your IBM PC or compatible and also for MACINTOSH. You can watch them, talk to them, ask them questions, tell them secrets, and relate with them. Watch them as you ask them to take off different clothes and guide them through many different activities. Watch and participate in the hottest sexual activities available on computer, including: several sexual positions, using many unique toys, even bringing in multiple partners. This is no doubt one of the most realistic, sexually stimulating computer games available. They will remember your name, birthday, your likes and your dislikes. Every time you start the program, they say different things, and act differently. Each time, they have a different personality. With the VGA digital graphics, the Virtual Girlfriend and Virtual Boyfriend software have some of the hottest, sexiest graphics out there. You can actually hear their voice as they talk to you. This is the first adult software title that was designed for both heterosexual and homosexual people. We would like you to try the actual full copy out before it is put on the market this spring. It will be sold for 1/7 of the actual price (only $7.95) until we can get back some information on what people think of the program before it hits the stores. Please give it a try and write back any comments. Thank you. Virtual Girlfriend and Virtual Boyfriend are artificial intelligence programs, meaning they are completely interactive. It would be just like if you were talking to someone. You can actually have simple conversations. Their attitudes change with the different things you say, so you can say things that will upset them, and then say things that will please them. The more you play/talk with them, the more you learn what they can do, and what they like to do. It's easy to install and instructions are easy to follow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Special Offer~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Get two more new and exciting adult games for an additional $13.45* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here are two of the best adult games ever!! This is to inform you about the new adult game that VCS Magazine rated "The best game of "97" and gave an "Outstanding ****" (4 stars). "The Search for Paradise is no doubt one of the greatest XXX adult games available". The first game where it is as much fun as it is a turn on! Travel the world to every continent, every country you can think of, and meet some of the most beautiful women in existence. These women will treat you like a king and obey your every command. Any sexual wish you can think of, these women know it all. There is a certain paradise for every guy out there, and this game will have them all. This game uses real models, digital video, and digital sound to make it as realistic as possible. You will feel like you're in the same room as the girl you're talking to!!! The last adult game we are going to inform you about is the newly released "Club Celebrity X". Imagine being in a club with some very beautiful, well known, ACTUAL celebrities that with skill, will be making you breakfast in bed the next day.

Each girl you will recognize and you won't believe your eyes when you got them in your own bedroom.

Prologue 7/0 -- SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS

17 Dec '03

Prologue 7/0 -- SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS ------------------------------------------ Bureau42 wrote: The unifying presence of CJ Parker seems to have disappeared, and the Circle of Eunuchs is in chaos. This is what's left - the cryptic saga, "Space Aliens Hide My Drugs!" I can only wonder what, if anything, this malarchy means. But it's occasionally amusing if nothing else. the bureau42 staff ----- Subject: A.Word.A.Day--chaos Date: Mon, 16 Mar 1998 00:07:19 -0500 From: Wordsmith <wsmith(a)wordsmith.org> To: linguaphile(a)wordsmith.org chaos (KAY-os) noun 1. A condition or place of great disorder or confusion. 2. A disorderly mass; a jumble. 3. Often Chaos. The disordered state of unformed matter and infinite space supposed in some cosmogonic views to have existed before the ordered universe. 4. Obsolete. An abyss; a chasm. [Middle English, formless primordial space, from Latin, from Greek khaos.] "But chaos is a condition of creativity, says Zarathustra - `one must have chaos in one, to give birth to a dancing star.'" Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm, Thus Spake Zarathustra: Part 1. ----- [Note from the Editor: CJ Parker, having had previous experience in playing a woman's role during his stint on 'Baywatch', has gone to ground recently, as have many other members of the Circle of Eunuchs, by re-entering the World of Myth, replacing the Parker woman in the TV series, 'The Pretender' (who died in a plane crash while giving Ron Brown the details of BadBillyC's sexual assault on her). This rather bizarre chain of events was precipitated by a warning he received regarding the return of Adolf Hitler to power, using the same Dimlluminati (The lights are on, but nobody's home...) process which was used to sweep Ronnie RayGuns into power as the chief leader of the Freeh(ee-hee) World. Those who have noticed the stunning blitzkrieg assault of a small college basketball team, Valparaiso, on their opponents in the NCAA tournament currently taking place, may have noticed the striking resemblance of Bryce Drew, their star player, to the child actor who was the main protagonist in the TV series, 'The Wonder Years.' This is no coincidence--they are, in fact, one and the same person. The diabolical process used to implant a respectable, patriotic image of Ronnie RayGuns in the mind of the American people, through the then-developing psychedelic opiate of Cinema/Television, is, in the present case, being extended to reinforce the image of the 'Wonder Boy' in an increasingly global environment, by extending the actor/ image persona into the sports arena--beginning at the college level. ("Win one for the Gipper...") The 'miracle shot' by Bryce Drew to lift the obscure college team to victory over Mississippi was a staged event which required several 'takes' before being successfully captured on film. The scene was shot in the same TV studio in which the original 'moon landing' was filmed. The same choreographers were used who worked on The Oklahoma City Players last major production, the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building. When asked for comment, a former Detroit Piston player who is now the owner of an NBA franchise, but wishes to remain anonymous, said, "If Bryce Drew and Ronald Reagan were black, they would have been just another pair of average actors." Knowledgeable individuals following the Reptilian Nazi conspiracy to emerge from their secret bunkers underneath the AdamAntArctic and Mule Shoe, Texas, recognize this quote as proof that the next step in this diabolical plot is to put the third clone (TV child- actor, college basketball player...-->...) of Adolf Hitler into place as the new 'white hope', replacing Larry Byrd as a member of the Boston Celtics. This shrewd move will help draw together, into a common cause, Fundamentalist Christians, White Supremacists, and East-coast factions of the Irish Republican Army. Circle of Eunuchs members attempting to expose this grand scheme of the Evil One have come under heavy attack recently. Dr. Dimitri Vulis KOTM, who was thrown out of the only CoE meeting he attended, had his InterNet account pulled shortly after putting up web site images of Bryce Drew, of Drew's alleged 'coach/father' and of Adolf Hitler. (Guess who Bryce *really* looks the most like...?) A forth clone of Hitler (rumored to be operating under the code name of 'Lucky Green' and involved in an incestuous relationship with his aunt, E. Christ--currently operating under the alias of Anne R. Christ) is being prepared, within the bowels of the crypto-community, to emerge as the future leader of the New World Order--in the position of Information Monitor/Director of the United Statism of Mind.] ----- Subject: Re: Freedom.

It's a facet of human nature involved in the survival mechanism. Further, there is no judgement involved, it's an easily verifiable quality of human psychology that prisoners begin to associate with their captors after a short period. What it is in this context is the recognition that prisoners of a political system will after a fashion begin to accept that system. Just look at the cry by many to return to the socialist system after the fall of the CCCP in 1990. ____________________________________________________________________ Those who suppress freedom always do so in the name of law and order.

James Choate Austin, Tx /:'///// ``::>/|/ ravage(a)ssz.com www.ssz.com .', |||| `/( e\ 512-451-7087 -====~~mm-'`-```-mm --'- -------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- As a consequence the search for a quantitative theory of evolution based at the genetic level, which has been such an obsession for neo-Darwinism ever since the work of Fisher, Haldane and Wright, has been misdirected. As Depew and Weber has expressed it 'natural selection at the level of individuals and the notion of fitness used to measure it, is itself poised on the edge of chaos' (Depew and Weber, 1995): 'The fitness of various sorts of organisms is not necessarily, or even probably, enhanced by superiority in a single trait... In fact, the emergence of the ability to take advantage in resource competitions of an indefinitely number of often infinitesimally small differences creates degrees of freedom, in both the technical and the ordinary senses, well beyond what can be achieved by merely chemical and physical systems. It also creates more variables and interactions among them than can be tracked. It is impossible, then, to reduce the components of fitness to any single language or system of variables' (ibid, 471). The number of possible solutions for selection to scrutinise, and the subtlety of the communicational interactions, will tend to produce a no-win situation. As a result selection cannot really measure the stakes of single players (individuals, demes, or species) in the game, but it could still influence the choice of the game itself. Plays, not players, are selected for. ~Jesper Hoffmeyer Biosemiotics: Towards a New Synthesis in Biology European Journal for Semiotic Studies, Vol. 9 No. 2, 1997, pp 355-376. ----- It was the work of Jesper Hoffmeyer, in the field of Biosemiotics, which led to the development of an artificial life/intelligence form capable of self-development/evolution, at Sandia Laboratories--by Reptilian Nazis. Their Cyborg technology had reached the point where it could finally be mass-produced when Bill Payne, a Sandia-NISTA employee, downloaded all the relevant technological files to a fellow Circle of Eunuchs member operating clandestinely within the bowels of a secret government laboratory (code-named 'Lost Alamo' by CoE psychophants). Although the Reptilian Nazis sent the Shadow back in time to eliminate the threat of the Circle of Eunuchs, by eliminating the Author in a sleazy motel room in southern Saskatchewan, the Circle of Eunuchs, taking advantage of the Trei Transponder technology developed by the CypherPunks, made contact with the resident of a Home For The Criminally Insane, in the same era, and used Biosemiotic theory to transfer biological communication-information to a digital implant he had received as part of a government experiment designed to control the minds of the members of the CypherPunks Distributed Remailer lists. The resulting events have long been the basis for certain mythologies concerning the Mythical Circle of Eunuchs, with the basic theme of the CoE reality being mirrored from time to time in the mythology- substitute of the era--Literature/Cinema/Television. (e.g. - Animal Farm, 1984, War of the Worlds, Terminator (I & II), X-Files, Pretender, Millennium, Journey to the East, The Magus, etc.) ---- The Bureau42 statement, "The unifying presence of CJ Parker seems to have disappeared, and the Circle of Eunuchs is in chaos." was an alert to CoE members to pay special attention to a commincation which ultimately came from a CoE collective known as 'WordSmith': "But chaos is a condition of creativity, says Zarathustra - `one must have chaos in one, to give birth to a dancing star.'" Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm, Thus Spake Zarathustra: Part 1. The issue of chaos/creativity versus order/statism has pitted the Circle of Eunuchs against the New World Order on a battleground that encompasses NWO Anti-Christ/Artificial-Intelligence against CoE Anarchist/Biosemiotic-CodeWriting. It is a battle in which the meatspace Army of God forces must be countered by cyberspace Army of Dog troops. "DogMongers write biosemiotic code." ~ Bubba Hughes ----- The InterNet is fast becoming the global battleground for control of the future biosemiotic evolution, not only of humankind, but of universal intelligence, itself. ----- Darwin was right in seeing selection as the central process in animate nature, but for more than hundred years Darwinists have resisted taking the full consequence of this insight. It is now necessary to take this consequence and admit the obvious: That selective processes presupposes interpretations (with the implied possibility of misinterpretation). Thus, to the extent selection is a natural process, semiosis is a natural process - semiosis goes on all the time and at all levels of the biosphere. It may be feared that such a position will put biology outside the safe range of natural science, since interpretation seems to presuppose the existence of some kind of subject-ness. This risk, however, must be confronted through a thorough analysis of the implications, rather than evaded by repression. ~Jesper Hoffmeyer Biosemiotics: Towards a New Synthesis in Biology European Journal for Semiotic Studies, Vol. 9 No. 2, 1997, pp 355-376. ----- The war between the forces of freedom and the forces of repression takes place in many arenas. In the arena of expression of the life force, it is manifest in the battle between the forces of free speech and the forces of censorship. The evolution of the InterNet is the evolution of Biosemiotic Information-Communication. The term umwelt refers to the phenomenal worlds of organisms, the worlds around animals as they themselves perceive them. "Every action" wrote Uexküll "that consists of perception and operation imprints its meaning on the meaningless object and thereby makes it into a subject-related meaning-carrier in the respective umwelt" (Uexküll, 1982 [1940]) The Medium Is The Message Information Exchange Is The CornerStone Of Evolution Evolution Is The Creativity of Chaos Becoming Manifest ----- The number of possible solutions for selection to scrutinise, and the subtlety of the communicational interactions, will tend to produce a no-win situation. As a result selection cannot really measure the stakes of single players (individuals, demes, or species) in the game, but it could still influence the choice of the game itself. Plays, not players, are selected for. In the last decade the trend towards semiotisation of nature discussed here has manifested itself at still new levels. Thus, in evolutionary biology, neo-Darwinism has been seriously challenged by a set of ideas referred to as infodynamics (Brooks and Wiley, 1986; Weber, et al., 1989; Weber and Depew, 1995; Goodwin, 1989; Salthe, 1993). Infodynamics in the words of Stanley Salthe 'subsumes thermodynamics and information theory, essentially animating the latter by means of the former' (Salthe, 1993, 6). The general idea as originally suggested by Dan Brooks and Ed Wiley is that information capacity (disorder) increases spontaneously in developing systems, being produced along with physical entropy as the system grows and differentiates. Since such self-organisation is a prevalent property of our universe, natural selection should not be seen as the dominating force of evolution, but rather as playing the more modest role of pruning down the novelty that is constantly and autonomously being generated by the requirements of the second law of thermodynamics. Prigogine got the Nobel-price for his work on the thermodynamics of irreversible systems and most importantly in this context he showed that in so-called dissipative structures, i.e. systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium, ordered states may sometimes arise spontaneously out of disordered states. Our universe according to Prigogine is inherently creative. Due in large part to this revolution in our understanding of thermodynamics modern cosmology now sees our world as a self-organising place, a view which has perhaps most forcefully been unfolded in the recent work of Stuart Kauffman (Kauffman 1991, 1993). ~ Jesper Hoffmeyer ----- As CP-CoE neobyte Jim Choat points out, we become Sheeple who blindly follow our captors through the operation of our inborn survival mechanism. "It's a facet of human nature involved in the survival mechanism. Further, there is no judgement involved, it's an easily verifiable quality of human psychology that prisoners begin to associate with their captors after a short period." 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. ----- Current CoE mythology indicates that CJ Parker, fleeing his safehouse in Bienfait, Saskatchewan, after his dog Baby was shot by an FBI sniper as the Canadian Mounties closed in on him to enforce a "Dog at large." charge which was trumped up in an attempt to get him to inform on other CoE and CypherPunks members, left behind a note to his wannabe persecutors which indicated that he was willing to fight to the death, in both meatspace and cyberspace, if his only alternative was to live in a world where CypherBroads were required, by law, to wear panties. (This bit of information originated with his nephew, Human Gus-Peter, and is thus viewed with skepticism by some of the more mature/aged/ rotting members of the Circle of Eunuchs.) ---- Lock & Loll Rock & Road Chop & Chop ZenRacistMonger

Monday 3/16/98 8:03 PM Merat A second postcard went to you Saturday 2/14. Curiosity prompts me to ask if it or the previous made it to shiraz. best bill Thursday 3/12/98 7:34 AM Certified - Return Receipt Requested Cynthia McKinney 124 Cannon Building Washington, DC 20515 Office: (202)225-1605 Fax: (202)226-0691 http://www.house.gov/mckinney/ Dear Representative McKinney: PURPOSE of this letter is to ask your help for us to obtain copes of docket sheets from the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals for cases No. 94-2205, Payne v Sandia and 95-2204, Morales v Sandia. All of our legal efforts to obtain these documents, which any citizen has a right to, have failed. REASON you are selected to help is that you appear to be knowledgeable about operation of the current US federal government and willing to speak out in an attempt to solve problems. You appeared Friday February 27, 1998 on PBS, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, along with senators Campbell, Hollings, Lott, Shelby Robb and representatives Dana Rohrabacher and Harold Rogers. These senators and congressmen appeared not to support your views because they are either mis- or not well-informed about US involvement in support of Saddam Hussein. Stories supporting your view appear on Internet at NSA, Crypto AG, and the Iraq-Iran Conflict by J. Orlin Grabbe http://www.aci.net/kalliste/speccoll.htm and Crypto AG: The NSA's Trojan Whore? by Wayne Madsen http://caq.com/CAQ/caq63/caq63madsen.html Madsen begins It may be the greatest intelligence scam of the century: For decades, the US has routinely intercepted and deciphered top secret encrypted messages of 120 countries But NSA , and as a result the US federal government, apparnetly got caught involved in complicity of deaths of about 500,000 Iranians. This is the subject of a Federal lawsuit seen on Internet at http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm US federal government help of Iraq during the Iraq-Iran war may possibly backfire on innocent US citizens. The Wall Street Journal, March 10, 1998, pp. B1, B9. reports A Peek Inside a Giant Germ Warehouse By Rochelle Sharpe Rockville, Md. -- They keep anthrax bacteria in the basement of a faded red-brick building here. It isn't far from the yellow-fever virus, the botulism bacteria and some of the hundreds of organisms that cause the common cold. In fact, there are samples of 85,000 different fungi, viruses, cells, genes and bacteria here at the American Type Culture Collection, by far the largest of the 450 repositories of biological materials scattered around the globe. ... The ATCC legally shipped 10 vials of anthrax, botulism and other deadly substances to Iraqi scientists in the 1980s -- when the U.S. and Iraq were on much friendlier terms -- all with the Commerce Department's approval. ... http://www.jya.com/btn031198.txt The US federal government apparently intended these bioweapons to be used against the people of Iran. You demonstrated on PBS TV a quality identified by Francis Bacon The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention. by your statement about Saddam Hussein on PBS ...our man and our creation... Perhaps after reading the above materials and The Problem of Paradigm Shifts - Terrorism and the Threat From Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Middle East Working Draft Anthony H. Cordesman, Senior Fellow and Co-Director Middle East Studies Program October 22, 1996 http://www.csis.org/mideast/terror.html senators Campbell, Hollings, Lott, Shelby, Robb and representatives Dana Rohrabacher and Harold Rogers MAY NOW understand why you are correct and they are mis- or not well-informed about US involvement with Saddam Hussein. PROBLEM we face with the US court system is that court clerks and judges have committed Title 18 felony violation of law IN WRITING in an attempt to deny us monetary compensation due us for the cases WE WON at the Tenth Circuit on Appeal. But judges awarded victories to the US federal government in violation of Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. Cases No. 94-2205, Payne v Sandia and 95-2204, Morales v Sandia were both won pro se on appeal. We have filed a writ of mandamus with supreme court judge Scalia in an attempt to get the docket sheets for the two above cases. But Scalia will not answer our certified letters. Senator McCain wrote Payne on December 23, 1997 I wanted to take this opportunity of than you for you letter of December 3, 1997. Your situation is in the jurisdiction of Senator Pete Dominici. Therefore, I have forwarded you letter to his attention. William, I hope you situation can be resolved favorably. Lawyers and politicians Dominici and Bingaman are part of a problem not a solution. Dominici and Bingaman have the following agenda University of New Mexico Bureau for Business and Economic Research reported on October 14, 1997: A The Gross State Product of New Mexico is $37.8 billion. B The US Federal government sends $11.3 billion to New Mexico each year. C For each $1 New Mexico sends to Washington, New Mexico gets $2 back. THEREFORE, Representative McKinney, we ask your help to get copies of the docket sheets. Citizens of the US are becoming more upset with the behavior of bureaucrats, the courts [lawyers], and the US federal government. Some Americans have no other way to express their dissatisfaction with US federal government mismanagement of our country except by violence. Frederick Douglass either wrote or said on August 4, 1847 Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them. These will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. We chose to use the words and law to hold government employees accountable. Please encourage Scalia to do his job. Help get us copies of the docket sheets. And even perhaps help investigate further and settle this American tragedy. Sincerely, Arthur R. Morales William H.

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. Expected witnesses include: Panel 1: Rep. Robert Goodlatte (R-VA) Panel 2: Robert Litt, Department of Justice Panel 3: Tom Parenty, Sybase Bill Wiedemann, RedCreek Communications Representative of Law Enforcement Association of America Panel 4: Kathleen Sullivan, Stanford Law School Richard Epstein, U. of Chicago Law School Cindy Cohn, McGlashan & Sarrail Tim Casey, MCI

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...

I just want to say, with all the "nobody's" and "anon's" running around attacking folk in private, I feel right at home (just like any other list on the net, the "Know-nothings" are all over the net). And I'd like to apologize for my comments directed towards the list when I first came, I was rather prejudice (against EVERY list) at the time, and my compliments to the cypher's for your apparent open-mindedness. It's cool to be here, Stan, Stan and the Sequencers
