Correction re Senate testimony
by Cindy Cohn 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

My earlier post was slightly overstated. Phil Karn has testified before Congress numerous times about his legal challenge and has consistently pushed these issues in the legislature. My testimony will be the first time any of the attorneys involved have been asked to discuss the constitutional problems with the cryptography restrinctions. My apologies to Phil.

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.

Well, yes, that's what BXA flaunts, but I wonder if the encryption regs are a high priority compared to the cases which are actually pursued which deal with truly threatening technology that every congressperson loves to fearfully hate. Yapping Chihuahua crypto is not up there yet, I suspect. True, there's a batch of agents being trained to work specifically on encryption, and with the total of crypto exports now exceeding $half a billion, it may be cost and politically effective to set an example by pounding one or two neo-crypto-Zimmermanns, especially as the year's hearings rumble, troll and slumber. Still, Adam's signature RSA-taunt has been on our Web site for months, terminating each of his exemplary stream of messages on low perfidy in high places, to no effect on BXA's eagle eyeball.

In Your EAR...
by Six 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

In Your EAR, Shit-For-Brains ---------------------------- In continuation of a tradition begun on Dec. 7, 2041 A.D. EARMonger InterpretPrizes would like to extend an invitation to those who wish to participate in a clear violation of the U.S. EAR regulations of your current time period. The StarShip CowBoy, descended from the lineage of the Author, would be more than happy to ensure that your violation of EAR regulations extends not only across the physical and political geographically-based space continuum, but also across a range of the time continuum which begins before EAR was an unborn seed in the mind of The RAT, continues throughout its journey from the mind, through the digestive system, its physical manifestation as droppings from The RAT, its further evolution through the reproductive systems of various insects and vermin, right up to the time that The RatFucker returned it to its rightful place, placing it back in the mind of The Rat, as a seed placed in The Rat's EAR. "The more things change, the more they remain insane..." ~ The Author To participate, one only need to send the following: print pack"C*",split/\D+/,`echo "16iII*o\U@{$/=$z;[(pop,pop,unpack"H*",<> )]}\EsMsKsN0[lN*1lK[d2%Sa2/d0<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<J]dsJxp"|dc` to the Monger of their choice, in any given space-time continuum, with instructions as to where the person would like to have this officially unexportable (under U.S. EAR regulations) cryptographic code forwarded. Whatever legally unexportable code you choose to send will be routed through U.S. servers to their ultimate destination. Two PGP Keys are included below, for those who wish to disguise their original message in order to maintain deniability (in the case that the message is intercepted by the Sixual Deviate, who would undoubtedly insert child-pornography into the message), to force those choosing to monitor and/or enforce EAR regulations to jump through the maximum number of hoops to pursue their March To Madness, or to hide the communication from your mother (who would undoubtedly smack your nasty bottom if she knew what you were doing through your little sister's email account). Suggestions for final destinations for your illegal and prosecutable communication: ~To yourself, at both U.S. and foreign email server sites. ~To your immediate family members at U.S. and foreign email server sites. ~To foreign embassies of U.S. allies. ~To foreign embassies of U.S. enemies. ~To U.S. embassies in foreign countries. ~To foreign government email addresses, with instructions for delivery to individuals presently incarcerated for terrorist crimes. ~To anywhere you damn well please... In the interests of making the whole process as convoluted and ridiculous as possible, it is suggested that you make your communications as much of a mixed-bag as you can imagine. e.g. - Some legal, some illegal, some attributed to yourself or others, some to be forwarded anonymously, some sent via routes that are easily traceable, some sent through routes that are difficult to trace, some sent from your own machines and email accounts, some through the machines and accounts of others (obvious forgeries are welcomed). All communications received by A Monger To Remain Unnamed Later But Everyone Knows Who It Is by April 1, 1998 will be forwarded on A Date Which Will Remain A Mystery , at exactly 9:02 CST, regardless of whether or not they are obviously spook-originated missives designed to provide proof of criminal activity.

Some of the people on the list are lawyers, perhaps they could do it and represent themselves, or represent others. Duncan Frissell has some opinions on this I think.

If anyone chooses to try this act of civil disobedience, let me know and I'll write about it. But be warned: the Department of Commerce has approximately 60 special agents who enforce violations of export rules. These are federal police officers, stationed in field office around the U.S., with badges and arrest power, trained at FLETC in Georgia. They don't have a sense of humor about these things. -Declan FLETC / Georgia Department of Commerce

Sometime ago there was a post to the list which made more sense than all of the other finger-pointing posts, combined, which have proclaimed this-or-that entity to be a tentacle/testicle of one or another of the list members. The post was by someone claiming to be the "only" real member of the cypherpunks list. It told how he had, being a lonely loser whom no one would communicate with, started the cypherpunks mailing list and posted to it under several personas, hoping to generate interest and have other people join the list. It seems that his efforts began to escalate and take on a life of their own, and he eventually had developed all of the personas that currently existed on the list, and that no one else had ever actually joined the list, at all.

Orders are published in full in the Federal Register as cited in the column entitled, "Federal Register Citation." (2) Publication of orders. New or amended denial orders are published in the Federal Register as they are issued, and their issuance announced in Export Administration Bulletins. Although diligent efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this table, the Federal Register is the authoritative source for denial orders. (3) Table: This table is updated as new orders are promulgated and existing orders expire. The table does not appear in the Code of Federal Regulations. Paper copies of this table are available from: Office of Export Services P.O. Box 273 Washington, D.C. 20044 (b) Effect of Denial Orders Section 787.12 of the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR 787.12) makes it unlawful, without prior specific authorization from Export Administration, for any person to: (1) Apply for, obtain, or use any license, Shipper's Export Declaration, bill of lading, or other export control document relating to an export or reexport of commodities or technical data by, to, or for another person then subject to an order revoking or denying his export privileges or then excluded from practice before the Bureau of Export Administration, or (2) Order, buy, receive, use, sell, deliver, store, dispose of, forward, transport, finance, or otherwise service or participate; (i) in any transaction which may involve any commodity or technical data exported or to be exported from the United States. (ii) in any reexport thereof, or (iii) in any other transaction which is subject to the Export Administration Regulations, if the person denied export privileges may obtain any benefit from or have any interest in, directly or indirectly, any of these transactions. (3) A denial order applies not only to the persons or firms named in the order, but may also, after notice and opportunity for comment, be made applicable to other persons with whom the respondent(s) may then or thereafter be related by ownership, control, position of responsibility, affiliation, or other connection in the conduct of trade or related services. (See Section 788.3(b) of the Export Administration Regulations (15 CRF 788.3(b))). (4) Some denial orders have different restrictions than those noted above. Summaries of the export privileges that each order denies are printed in the column headed "Export Privileges Affected". The exact scope of the denial is set forth in the applicable Federal Register Notice(s). If you have questions about the scope of a particular denial order, you may contact the Office of Enforcement Support, U.S. Department of Commerce, Room 4065, 14th Street and Constitution Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230, Telephone (202) 482 4255, Fax (202) 482-0971.

Absolute Proof - Rush is a Liar! First let's define 'liar' (from pages 670-671 of 'Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10th Edition') "Liar - one that tells lies" That was easy, now it's a little more confusing, because of the number of definitions (4). The first two I will leave out, as they pertain to how you might 'lie' down, or where a golf ball may 'lie'. The 3rd is the verb, and is inapplicable. I will use the 4th definition, the noun. (4) "Lie (noun)- 1: a: an assertion of something known or believed by the speaker to be untrue with intent to deceive b: an untrue or inaccurate statement that may or may not be believed true by the speaker 2: something that misleads or deceives 3: a charge of lying" By combining the two definitions, (4:1:a) 'Liar - one that tells assertions of somethings known or believed by the speaker to be untrue with intent to deceive' (4:1:b) 'Liar - one that tells untrue or inaccurate statements that may or may not be believed true by the speaker' (4:2) 'Liar - one that tells somethings that mislead or deceive' (4:3) 'Liar - one that tells charges of lying' I think that regular readers will now concede that subsense (4:1:b) proves that his many 'errors' can be classified as lies, and (4:2) certainly fits Rush! But for the sake of proof, I will now document more than one lie, with complete disreguard as to whether Rush knew they were lies at the time he said them, to prove it by subsense (4:1:b). These examples from FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting). Please e-mail FAIR (at fair-report(a)fair.org - it will be returned via e-mail) for the complete FAIR report on Rush Limbaugh, so you can see how Limbaugh responds to FAIR's reports of his lies (Limbaugh's so-called response (that he lauded so loudly (at the time)) is included also, as well as FAIR's counter-response). LIMBAUGH: On California contractor C.C. Myers completing repairs 74 days early on the earthquake-damaged Santa Monica Freeway: "There was one key element that made this happen. One key thing: The governor of California declared the [freeway] a disaster area and by so doing eliminated the need for competitive bids.... Government got the hell out of the way." (TV show, 4/13/94) "They gave this guy [Myers] the job without having to go through the rigmarole...of giving 25 percent of the job to a minority-owned business and 25 percent to a woman." (TV show, 4/15/94) REALITY: There was competitive bidding: Myers beat four other contractors for the job. Affirmative action rules applied: At least 40 percent of the subcontracts went to minority or women-owned firms. Far from getting out of the way, dozens of state employees were on the job 24 hours a day. Furthermore, the federal government picked up the tab for the whole job (L.A. Times, 5/1/94). LIMBAUGH: "There's no such thing as an implied contract." (Radio show, quoted in FRQ, Spring/93) REALITY: Every first year law student knows there is. LIMBAUGH: "Ladies and gentlemen, we now know why there is this institutional opposition to low tax rates in the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. It's because [low tax rates] are biblical in nature and in root. When you can trace the lowering of tax rates on grain from 90 percent to 20 percent giving seven fat years during the days of Pharaoh in Egypt, why then you are tracing the roots of lower taxes and rising prosperity to religion.... You can trace individual prosperity, economic growth back to the Bible, the Old Testament. Isn't it amazing?" (Radio show, 6/28/93) REALITY: Amazingly wrong. Genesis 41 is about the wisdom of INSTITUTING taxes, not cutting them. After Pharaoh had a dream that prophesied seven fat years to be followed by seven lean years, Joseph advised him to "appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years...and lay up corn under the hands of Pharaoh." In other words, a 20 percent tax on the grain harvest would put aside food for use during the famine. Pharaoh took Joseph's advice, and Egypt avoided hunger during the famine. LIMBAUGH: "It has not been proven that nicotine is addictive, the same with cigarettes causing emphysema [and other diseases]." (Radio show, 4/29/94) REALITY: Nicotine's addictiveness has been reported in medical literature since the turn of the century. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop's 1988 report on nicotine addiction left no doubts on the subject; "Today the scientific base linking smoking to a number of chronic diseases is overwhelming, with a total of 50,000 studies from dozens of countries," states Encyclopedia Britannica's 1987 "Medical and Health Annual." LIMBAUGH: "Most Canadian physicians who are themselves in need of surgery, for example, scurry across the border to get it done right: the American way. They have found, through experience, that state medical care is too expensive..." (Told You So, p. 153) REALITY: "Mr. Limbaugh's claim simply isn't true," says Dr. Hugh Scully, chair of the Canadian Medical Association's Council on Healing & Finance. "The vast majority of Canadians, including physicians, receive their care here in Canada. Those few Canadians who receive health care in the U.S. most often do because they have winter homes in the States--like Arizona and Florida -- and have emergent health problems there." Medical care in Canada is hardly "too expensive"; it's provided free and covered by taxes. LIMBAUGH: "There are more American Indians alive today than there were when Columbus arrived or at any other time in history. Does this sound like a record of genocide?" (Told You So, p. 68) REALITY: According to Carl Shaw of the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, estimates of the pre-Columbus population of what later became the United States range from 5 million to 15 million. Native populations in the late 19th century fell to 250,000, due in part to genocidal policies. Today the U.S.'s Native American population is about 2 million. LIMBAUGH: "Women were doing quite well in this country before feminism came along." (Radio show, quoted in FRQ, Summer/93) REALITY: Before feminism, women couldn't even vote. LIMBAUGH: "Anita Hill followed Clarence Thomas everywhere. Wherever he went, she wanted to be right by his side, she wanted to work with him, she wanted to continue to date him.... There were no other accusers who came forth after Anita Hill did and said, 'Yeah, Clarence Thomas, he harassed me, too.' There was none of that." (TV show, 5/4/94) REALITY: Hill could not have continued to date Thomas, since they never dated. Two other women, Sukari Hardnett and Angela Wright, came forth in the Thomas case with similar charges. LIMBAUGH: On Whitewater: "I don't think the New York Times has run a story on this yet. I mean, we haven't done a thorough search, but I--there has not been a big one, front-page story, about this one that we can recall. So this has yet to create or get up to its full speed--if it weren't for us and the Wall Street Journal and the American Spectator, this would be one of the biggest and most well kept secrets going on in American politics today." (TV show, 2/17/94) REALITY: The New York Times BROKE the Whitewater story on March 8, 1992, in a front-page story by Jeff Gerth that included much of the key information known today. The investigative article ran over 1700 words. LIMBAUGH: Quotes President James Madison: "We have staked the future...upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God." (Told You So, p. 73) REALITY: "We didn't find anything in our files remotely like the sentiment expressed in the extract you sent to us," David B. Mattern, the associate editor of The Madison Papers, told the Kansas City Star (1/16/94). "In addition, the idea is entirely inconsistent with everything we know about Madison's views on religion and government." LIMBAUGH: "And it was only 4,000 votes that--had they gone another way in Chicago--Richard Nixon would have been elected in 1960." (TV show, 4/28/94) REALITY: Kennedy won the 1960 election with 303 electoral votes to 219 for Nixon. Without Illinois' 27 electoral votes, Kennedy would still have won, 276-246. LIMBAUGH: On Iran-contra special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh: "This Walsh story basically is, we just spent seven years and $40 million looking for any criminal activity on the part of anybody in the Reagan administration, and guess what? We couldn't find any. These guys didn't do anything, but we wish they had so that we could nail them. So instead, we're just going to say, 'Gosh, these are rotten guys.' They have absolutely no evidence. There is not one indictment. There is not one charge." (TV show, 1/19/94) REALITY: Walsh won indictments against 14 people in connection with the Iran- contra scandal including leading Reagan administration officials like former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and former national security advisers Robert McFarlane and John Poindexter. Of the 14, 11 were convicted or pleaded guilty. (Two convictions were later overturned on technicalities--including that of occasional Limbaugh substitute Oliver North) LIMBAUGH: Explaining why the Democrats wanted to "sabotage" President Bush with the 1990 budget deal: "Now, here is my point. In 1990, George Bush was president and was enjoying a 90 percent plus approval rating on the strength of our victories in the Persian Gulf War and Cold War." (Told You So, p. 304) REALITY: In October 1990, when the budget deal was concluded the Gulf War had not yet been fought. LIMBAUGH: On the Gulf War: "Everybody in the world was aligned with the United States except who? The United States Congress." (TV show, 4/18/94) REALITY: Both houses of Congress voted to authorize the U.S. to use force against Iraq. LIMBAUGH: On Bosnia: "For the first time in military history, U.S. military personnel are not under the command of United States generals." (TV show, 4/18/94) REALITY: That's news to the Pentagon. "How far back do you want to go?" asked Commander Joe Gradisher, a Pentagon spokesperson. "Americans served under Lafayette in the Revolutionary war." Gradisher pointed out several famous foreign commanders of U.S. troops, including France's Marshall Foch, in overall command of U.S. troops in World War 1. In World War 2, Britain's General Montgomery led U.S. troops in Europe and North Africa, while another British General, Lord Mountbatten, commanded the China-Burma-India theatre. LIMBAUGH: Limbaugh frequently denies that he uses his show for political activism: "I have yet to encourage you people or urge you to call anybody. I don't do it. They think I'm the one doing it. That's fine. You don't need to be told when to call. They think you are a bunch of lemmings out there." (Radio show, 6/28/93) REALITY: Just an hour after making the above claim, he was--as usual--sending his troops to the trenches: "The people in the states where these Democratic senators are up for reelection in '94 have to let their feelings be known.... These senators, you let them know. I think Wisconsin's one state. Let's say Herb Kohl is up in '94. You people in Wisconsin who don't like this bill, who don't like the tax increases, you let Herb Kohl know somehow." And in summation, Rush is a liar (proven by (4:1:b), 'Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10th Edition", page 670-671)! Readers should judge on their own, whether you think this proves that Rush knew about these lies in advance and/or had an intent to deceive when he told these lies (as it's impossible to prove ones state of mind). I believe he did (on both accounts), so therefore I believe there's ample evidence to show Rush a liar by subsense 4:1:a, and 4:2 also! Readers should also judge whether they think that (many of) his lies are attempts at changing history. Stanley Rosenthal

And ANOTHER REAL "Punk!" (or two)

Subj: TAKE STOCK(man, Please!)! Date: 06/19/96 I start with Article 6, section 3 of the Constitution of the United States of America - "3 The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." And now, from the *real* "liberal" media, the Houston Press, June - 13-19 - 1996 issue - -------------------------- (TOC description - Stalking Stockman - Truth was the first casualty when I visited Steve Stockman's combined home and political sweatshop. By Tim Fleck) {Quote - "We're not afraid of anything." - An unidentified whiny-voiced Stockmanite. Photos - a picture of the headline of an article in the Houston Chronicle of 6-7-96 - "CHARGES SOUGHT AGAINST REPORTER Trespassing Alleged At Stockman's House", a picture of Tim Fleck walking up to Stockman's house, caption - "Knock, knock, who's there? Fleck cautiously approaches the threshhold of the Stockman compound.", and a picture of a sign that says "God Bless You! Congressman Stockman") INTO THE DEN OF STOCKMANIA The Truth About My Alleged "Invasion" Of The Friendswood Congressman's One- Stop Political Sweatshop And Homestead By Tim Fleck For just a moment, it seemed as if there might be at least one good man laboring at Congressman Steve Stockman's political sweatshop-cum-residence when I dropped in last week for an unannounced visit. Several raps on the front door had summoned a lanky young African-American volunteer named Booker T. Stallworth. Despite being confronted by a stranger with a press I.D. card clipped to his shirt pocket and a bulky Sony tape recorder and microphone slung over his shoulder, Stallworth flashed an all-American smile and graciously motioned me in. Judging by the fallout generated by those two or three steps forward, I might just as well have landed on the front lawn of Stockman's Friendswood home in a black helicopter. Once inside, my rather limited tour of the Stockman compound lasted about two minutes before I was ordered out by an officious young Stockmanite who refused to identify himself and displayed a distinct aversion to cameras. No physical contact, shouting or foul language occurred during the brief encounter. Yet within two hours of my visit, Stockman's Capitol Hill office began spewing press releases at taxpayers' expense that accused me of trespassing and forcing my way into the congressman's residence and physically assaulting his campaign workers. "This is outrageous!" Stockman was quoted as huffing in one "updated" release (headlined "Stockman Stalked by Trespassing Reporter"). "I have called the Harris County Sheriff's Department, the Capitol Hill police and the [U.S. House] Sergeant-at-Arms' office. I am pressing charges for trespass and assault and battery." Stockman's office even suggested that I had terrorized the congressman's wife, Patti Bullock Stockman, assuring the world that she "was unharmed" after my visit. That insinuation was especially outlandish, given that I never laid eyes on Patti Stockman (who, incidentally, has a $58,000-a-year job at the Johnson Space Center that presumably would have required her presence on that weekday afternoon). Stockman himself hastily caught a plane back from D.C. "to address the emergency," according to his congressional flack Cory Birenbaum, and while in flight called a talk-radio station in Beaumont to beat the drums about the alleged home invasion. Birenbaum told another reporter that Stockman already had complained to Friendswood police, one of whom, the spokesman related, declared that he "would have shot the son of a bitch dead." But the chief of the Friendswood force told another local reporter that his department hadn't heard from Stockman. The Stockman press releases alerted area media outlets, whose reporters were soon sorting through the lies produced by the Stockman propaganda machine and writing their own stories about the incident. Birenbaum tried to peddle one whopper that I had crashed the Stockman-Newt Gingrich rally at a Galleria-area (StanNote! outside of Stockman's district) hotel last month by falsely claiming to be a reporter with the Associated Press. The only problem with that was that the A.P. reporter and I had both bantered with Birenbaum at the event, and clearly identified ourselves to him. I had received a press credential to the rally after displaying my Houston police press I.D., which bears the name *Houston Press* in large, hard-to-miss letters. The lies continued later, when volunteer Stallworth filed a complaint with the Harris County Sheriff's Department falsely claiming that I had pushed him and shouted and screamed during my visit. (The recording I made of the incident shows the conversation never broke a sonic sweat.) The sheriff's department punted the complaint to the district attorney's office, where Johnny Holmes' top assistant, Don Sticklin, was investigating at press time. In retrospect, Stallworth's dissembling probably explains what a seemingly nice guy like him was doing hanging with the Stockman gang. By inviting me into Stockman's political nest, though, Stallworth did prove that he hadn't absorbed a central tenet of the political consulting business. Photographer Nicole Fruge' and I drove to Friendswood to do some on-the-scene investigation of Political Won Stop, a business registered in Brazoria County that operates out of Stockman's residence and has received $126,000 in payments from the congressman's campaign since January. One of the listed principals of the firm, Chris Cupit, just happens to be the Republican nominee for tax assessor-collector of Jefferson County, a position that has been vacated by Democrat Nick Lampson, who is now running for Congress against Stockman. Cupit apparently has no official campaign office of his own in Jefferson County, raising questions about whether resources from his and Stockman's campaigns are being comingled in the rather cozy spaces of the Whitman Way residence. That would be a violation of federal election law. And *The Hill*, a D.C. based weekly that covers Congress and first reported on the Political Won Stop operation, has questioned whether Stockman's campaign keeps the appropriately legal "arms-length" distance from the consultants, whose phone number is the same as Stockman's and who presumably use the facilities available to others in the Stockman household. *Press* calls to the house and Cupit and partner Jason Posey (who had identified himself as a Stockman "volunteer" to *The Hill*) went unreturned, so the only option seemed to be an on-site inspection. After I followed Stallworth into the living room of the Stockman domicile, I met several volunteers who claimed Cupit was not there. But the 1995 Saturn that was reposing in Stockman's driveway at the time is registered to Cupit. The front of the intensely claustrophobic house, where windows might otherwise be found, is sealed by planking, and the only vista to the street is a pinhole in the worn wooden front door. It hardly seems a residence fitting for a U.S. congressman, even one whose employment history prior to his 1994 election was rather spotty. The living room, cluttered with campaign signs and literature, opens on the right into a garage office, where Political Won Stop apparently does its work. A hallway on the left presumably leads to some sort of sleeping quarters, where Patti may or may not have been crouching in fear while I was in the front room. Upon my entry, Stallworth summoned a dark-haired young man from the garage office, who proved far less friendly. "You'll have to leave," he announced in a rather whiny, nasal voice. (The following day, the *Press* called Chris Cupit at his home in Groves and discovered that he possess a whiny, nasal voice identical to that of the man who ordered me out of Stockman's residence. But perhaps everybody who works for Stevie whines. On the phone, Cupit flatly denied being present at Stockman's house during my visit. Before we could ask what his car was doing in Stockman's Driveway, Dupit said he had to go but promised to call us back shortly. He never did, of course.) At the Stockman compound, the Cupit sound-alike denied that Political Won Stop operated out of the house, but tried to change the subject when I reminded him that Stockman's own campaign finance filings list the company as based there. "I know, but we have rights, too, and you've got to honor our rights," he whined. He seemed especially terrified that photographer Fruge', who was just outside the front door with her camera, might get a shot of his face. He tried to close the front door, and another volunteer then slammed it shut and pressed his back against it, barring any exit. I asked the head whiner what he was so afraid of. "We're not afraid of anything," he insisted, rather unconvincingly. After being ordered once more to leave, I replied, Well, fine, open the door. And don't hide too much. You guys are pathetic." And with that, my alleged "invasion" of the congressman's castle was over. Minutes later, several young Stockman volunteers drove up, and I asked them to locate Chris Cupit for me. Once inside the house, they didn't come back out before Fruge' and I departed. Fruge' took a few more shots of Fort Stockman from the street while I went to interview neighbors. Birenbaum would later claim she took photos through the windows of the Stockman abode. The problem with that particular lie is that there are no windows accessible from the front yard to take photos through. A woman who lives next door to Stockman seemed surprised to learn that the bustling political office also housed a U.S. Congresseman and his wife. "No, I do not know him," said Hanan Zadeh, when asked if she had had the pleasure of meeting Steve Stockman. Zadeh - who, unlike the boys next door, did not hesitate to identify herself - seemed unperturbed by the continuous stream of people coursing in and out of Stockman's alleged residence. "We know this is just temporary for election time," she explained. "It's not a problem." But depending on how the money paid by Stockman to Political Won Stop is actually used, it could be a big problem for the Freshman Prince of Friendswood in the not-so-distant future. -------------- "We're not afraid of anything." They certainly aren't afraid of *god*! Stan ============ Subj: It's Cupit, Ma'am, Not Stupid! Date: 07/21/96 More from the "Liberal Media", from the 'Houston Press' June 20-26, 1996 these are pieces of - --------------------- The Insider - compiled by Tim Fleck TALES OF CUPIT (RHYMES WITH STUPID) The squirrelly adventures of Congressman Steve Stockman's frat-house band of consultants who call themselves Political Won Stop seem to know no limits. *The Hill*, a Congress-covering weekly in the nation's capital, first revealed that Stockman's re-election campaign had paid more than $126,000 to the consultancy, which is owned by 26-year-old Chris Cupit and 25-year old Jason Posey and is listed on the congressman's campaign disclosures as having the same Whitman Way address as stockman's combination home and election headquarters just outside Friendswood. More recently, *The Hill* reproted that the address Political Won Stop used on its DBA filing in Brazoria County is a rental beach house at Surfside. Always up for a summer jaunt to the Gulf, The Insider motored down to Surfside over the weekend to discover that the rent house, which is named the Hide-a-Way and sits just down the road from the Money Pit, was vacent. On our return, we talked to the owner of the Hide-a-Way, Houstonian Diane Hensley, who rented the house in the off-season to Cupit from last fall to early spring. Hensley, a Stockman supporter and unsuccessful legislative candidate this year, says she's known Cupit for two years and isn't surprised he listed the home as his place of business. The Hide-a-Way certainly is an appropriately named location for a business run by the secrecy-obsessed Cupit, the Stockman operative and GOP nominee for Jefferson County tax collector-assessor whom we encountered on our unannounced visit to Stockman's home/campaign office two weeks ago. Cupit refused to identify himself and hid his face when a *Press* photographer approached. It's apparently typical behavior from Cupit, judging by the account of an advertising sales type who tried to sell the Stockman campaign some bumper stickers two days before we ventured into the grip of Stockmania. The salesman says he contacted the Stockman headquarters "and got ahold of a man who wouldn't identify himself except by his first name, Chris." It took the salesman two weeks to get an appointment with the mysterious Chris, and only under circumstances that seem lifted from a spy novel. "He would not give me the address of his headquarters," recounts the salesman, "and he asked if I would meet him on the parking lot of the Burger King in Baybrook Mall." (Stockman's home/office is located in a subdivision behind the mall.) When the salesman finally rendezvoused with "Chris," the Stockman flunky again refused to give his last name but expressed interest in the batch of see-through, peel-off "Stockman for Congress" stickers the salesman had brought along to demonstrate. Chris refused to allow the salesman to put one of the stickers on his car and instead insisted they be handed over for future inspection, presumably by the congressman. At one point, Chris displayed a trace of envy by allowing that he wished he could afford the see-through numbers for his own campaign. The salesman is still chuckling over the encounter. "I'm in my early seventies, and I've done business in Houston for over 35 years. It's the first time I ever made a sales pitch on the parking lot of a Burger King!" (He was later shown a photo of Chris Cupit and positively identified the stealth candidate as the phantom of the Burger King.) Their meeting was two weeks ago, and now the salesman can't get through to Chris. "The guy who answers the phone, who's a nitwit, says, 'What is this regarding?' Then he says, 'I don't know if he's here.' I say, 'Come on, kid, you're in a house and you don't know who comes through the front door?' " Cupit also hasn't acquired much name identification in Beaumont, the seat of the county where he wants to be the head tax collector. When The Insider went on a Beaumont call-in show last week to debunk the false claims by Stockman that we had assaulted his campaign workers and terrorized his wife, the radio host, Jack Piper, was unfamiliar with Cupit and his candidacy. During Piper's show, we played an audio tape of our encounter with the Stockmanites at the congressman's home, wheich included our repeated question, "Is Chris Cupit here?" Afterward, a hard-of-hearing pro-Stockman caller rang up to chastise the liberal media for "calling people stupid." Why, she asked, did we have to call them stupid? Piper had to gently correct her: "It's Cupit, ma'am, not stupid." ========== Subj: Fleck Gets an 'E' (of the 'RWLTPC') (one whos job it is to destroy anyone or anything that goes against the 'RWLTPC') ! ----- >From the Houston Press, July 4-10 issue, Letters section - ----- The Stockman Welcome Mat Having read the latest in your series of articles and "exposes" on Congressman Steve Stockman, I have a few questions and observations for you: Do you expect Stockman or his staff to welcome you into his home with open arms when everything you've ever written about him has been decidedly negative? Your stories and the tone of your paper are antything but objective. You can't abide or report objectively on anything or anyone who is Republican, nor can you ever report anything unfavorable on a Democrat. You went to Stockman's place with your mind made up as to what you were going to write. You refer to all his staffers as whiny. To me, you are the ultimate whiner. Jerry King Houston ========== Subj: More 'Take Stock(man), PLEASE!' >From the Houston Chronicle, 7-21-96 - ------ STOCKMAN MOURNS DEATH OF 'SUPPORTER' Alan Bernstein, Politics U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman of Friendswood did not immediately try to put a self- serving political spin on last week's TWA jetliner tragedy. He waited almost two days. On Friday afternoon, reporters received a news release on Stockman's congressional stationery. It expresses the congressman's deep sorrow that Houston victim's rights advocate Pam Lychner was killed in the explosion and crash off Long Island. The document, an official communication from Stockman's publicly funded operation in Washington, D.C., was headlined "STOCKMAN SUPPORTER DIES IN TWA TRAGEDY/ VICTIMS' ADVOCATE MADE TV AD FOR STOCKMAN." With direct quotes from Stockman, the news release lauded Lychner for her criminal justice reform work. "Pam was a friend who will be dearly missed by my wife Patti and I," said Stockman's written words. "Pam Lychner did a campaign television ad for me in 1992. I got to know her and her story. She was a woman of uncommon courage and inner strength and that is how I will remember her." Stockman's top aide, Cory Birenbaum, said the news release was not a political exploitation of a grim event. "We are just trying to point things out that affect" the congressman, Birenbaum explained. "It's simply to regret the fact that a personal friend of his passed away." To say the least, written statements from Stockman and Birenbaum have been controversial lately. In June, another official news release from Stockman carried the headline "STOCKMAN STALKED BY TRESPASSING REPORTER." It told Stockman's version of a visit to his home and campaign headquarters in Friendswood by a reporter for the Houston Press, at a time when Stockman was in Washington. Stockman sought criminal charges against the reporter. The district attorney's office refused to file the charges. The reporter then filed a libel suit against Stockman. Birenbaum was the focus of national publicity recently for a private letter he wrote to a Texas Monthly reporter after the magazine ran an unflattering profile of Stockman. The letter said the writer got her magazine job "for reasons I would refuse to speculate upon in polite society. Hope your knees have healed up nicely." Birenbaum said he meant that the writer had to beg for employment, not that she performed a sex act. ...

That's right. After glancing through some of the early posts to the cypherpunks list one realizes that many of them had to walk ten miles to get to a computer--always uphill and often in a blinding snowstorm. That was back in the days when Americans still knew how to make a big, high-powered car, but cypherpunks didn't use them to get to their computers because they weren't namby-pamby momma's boys like those godless commie A(h)OLs who get their peckers hammered on the cypherpunks list and then complain because they can't get off.
