http://www.odci.gov/cia/ciakids/aerial/index.html "Hi, kids! My name is Harry Recon, and this is my twin sister, Aerial. She's going to tell you about the History of the CIA in another section of the kid's page. We know some great books, too! Read all about it! My parents named me after President Harry Truman, who created the Central Intelligence Agency when he signed the National Security Act on Sept. 18, 1947. My family has always supported the Agency and its predecessor, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), roosting wherever it was camped and keeping an eye out in defense of our country, too. In 1961, when the Agency moved from downtown Washington, DC, to Langley, Virginia, we naturally followed. My dad says that we Recons have been in the intelligence operations business throughout US history: With Paul Revere on his midnight ride. With Virginia Hall as she arrived in France during World War II. Winging along side the U-2 as it took off to gather overhead pictures. Let Aerial tell you more about where we live and work and about our family history." http://www.nytimes.com/library/national/042398cia-kids.html "This is not an effort to recruit," a spokesman for the spy agency emphasizes. "This is an effort to inform in a fun way." I wonder what genius came up with this idea.

Data Fellows Strikes a Major Deal
by Mia Westerholm 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Data Fellows Ltd. Media Release For immediate release 28 April 1998 DATA FELLOWS STRIKES A MAJOR DEAL A Prominent Scandinavian Telephone Operator Invests in Data Security Helsinki, Finland, April 28, 1998 -- Data Fellows, a leading provider of Internet security solutions, has made a deal with the largest private telephone company in Finland. Helsinki Telephone Corporation has bought F-Secure SSH to enhance the security of its Kolumbus Internet services over public networks. Kolumbus is one of the largest providers of commercial Internet services in Finland. "Data security is a highly important consideration for us," says Mr. Vesa Perttunen, Development Manager from Helsinki Telephone Corporation, Kolumbus Services. "We evaluated the data security products available on the market, and F-Secure SSH was the best we could find. We particularly appreciated the fact that the source code is available to us." Says Mr. Tatu Vehmas, Sales Manager, from Data Fellows: "F-Secure SSH leaves no room for security compromises. Furthermore, it is the only sensible tool for secure remote systems administration currently available on the market. We are pleased that Kolumbus Services has chosen our unique F-Secure SSH package." The F-Secure SSH Package F-Secure SSH products are based on the SSH security protocol. The SSH protocol is an application level protocol with strong public key authentication and 128-bit encryption. It guarantees the simultaneous authentication of both ends of the connection, the secrecy of the transmitted information, and the integrity of the transmitted data. F-Secure SSH Terminal provides the user with secure login connections over untrusted networks. It acts as a replacement for the telnet protocol. F-Secure SSH Terminal fully supports VT100 terminal emulation. F-Secure Tunnel creates a local proxy server for remote TCP/IP services. The service can be one of the Internet protocols, 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 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. In addition to secure terminal connections and TCP/IP connection forwarding, F-Secure SSH Server provides tools to replace existing rsh, rlogin, rdist, and telnet protocols. These tools enable administrators to carry out all remote systems administration tasks over secure connections. About Helsinki Telephone Corporation Helsinki Telephone Corporation is the largest local, private telephone company in Finland. It is one of the cornerstones of the Finnet Group, a consortium of 46 private local telephone companies. Helsinki Telephone Corporation has expertise in the entire range of telecom services, from the fixed network through data services to mobile telephony. Through the Finnet Group, Helsinki Telephone Corporation provides services throughout Finland. It has also extended its services abroad through co-operative agreements with leading international operators.

NASA 'educating' scientists to restrict free speech.
by Chris L. Kuszmaul 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi, my name is Chris Kuszmaul. I am a contractor at NASA Ames research center. I feel it would be valuable for the general scientific community to be aware of some upcoming classes designed to educate scientists here regarding what they may and may not write on the internet, or any public forum. -------------------- begin excerpt -------------------- NASA has begun responding to recent new legislation and regulations regarding the export of information or material with potential use as a weapon of mass destruction or international business competitiveness advantage. All personnel creating information, equipment or material falling within this category are now responsible to control its transfer according to regulations. NASA has created an Export Control Administrator at each Center responsible to implement a program which provides for the review, classification and approval (or disapproval) of the export of material or information which may be subject to limitations. The Center has arranged for the outreach program offices of the U.S. Customs and the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA), U.S. Department of Commerce, to conduct a brief class on their Agency's regulatory requirements in partial fulfilment of this required training. Everyone is welcome to attend, but this is a mandatory briefing for researchers, engineers and equipment developers. This session will deal with the enforcement of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), issues of the Commerce Control List (CCL), and Export Classification Control Number (ECCN). This particular session covers the regulatory requirement for the authors of scientific, technical materials and software developers. Anyone who generates and develops such materials, or sends NASA commodities overseas must attend this session. These specifically include NRC, Ames Associates, grant recipients, students, IPA's, contractors, civil service employees and all others who publish on behalf of NASA. The EAR, CCL, ECCN are important in completing block III of the Document Availability Authorization (DAA)(Form 1676). Each session will be approximately 15-20 minutes. A question and answer session will follow after the talk. The dates, time, and location are indicated below. Attendance at one session is sufficient to fulfill the regulatory requirements. Dates Time Location May 7, 1998 10 am Bldg. 213, Rm 261 .... --------------------------------------- As the text above says, everybody is welcome to attend. CLK

Quantum Snooping
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

New York Times' Markoff reports today on the latest in quantum computing, some of which was discussed here recently. Two points of note: IBM recently made a "snapshot" of the entire worldwide Web, eight trillion bytes of data, for an experimental database for searching and unnamed other manipulation by its quantum computers. Searching the database for a word by conventional computers would take a month, while quantum devices could do it in 27 minutes, a Beamer says. NSA is funding quantum computing at Los Alamos specifically for cryptographic investigation, "because QC could have a profound effect on modern cryptography." Others forms of warp speed snooping are discussed as well. --------- Restricted: "Snow Crash" is featured in a hot-selling book on the thought of the American Left, "Achieving Our Country," by philosopher Richard Rorty. The book is swell reading on the state of US thought, culture and politics whatever your disagreeable attitude. It's smallish, but for those completely broke and open to copyleft, grab it before IBM kicks it offshore: http://jya.com/161.htm (238K) http://jya.com/161.zip (89K)

Re: Gary Lee Burnore and His Anti-Privacy Zealots are on the Warpath!

Unfortunately, to meet the purpose means that > assholes are also given access to the service. Your own record of harassing remailers is well known, McClatchie. Calling remailer users "assholes" and calling for content-based censorship only underscores your anti-privacy agenda. If remailer users posted only what was popular and politically correct, there would be little need for remailers. One remailer operator who was forced to shut it down mentioned your name quite prominently, BTW, in providing details about the attack. > It was someone using a remailer to harass Wells Fargo management. Can you document this? I never read a single post from anyone claiming to speak for Wells Fargo management which has substantiated this. Nor did any of the remailer operaters involved mention having received such an official complaint from member of Wells Fargo's management. So all we have is you parroting Burnore's original unsubstantiated allegations. Isn't it interesting that when something offends Gary Burnore he often resorts to "defending" phantom victims of the alleged "abuse"? And shortly thereafter, various of his sock puppets echo his whining chant. > It was someone using a remailer who has spambaited several hundred > email addresses. And one such post contained Gary Burnore's own .sig block still appended to an otherwise anonymous post. Oops! > It was someone using a remailer who wants to know if Gary Burnore's > current employer knows of his background. And if not, how could they > be contacted. > > It was someone using a remailer who posted, in direct violation of NC law > information in its registry for the sole purpose of harrassing someone. Please cite the NC law which you claim is being violated, and how it would apply to a remailer located outside of NC? Would you also say that remailers ought to censor their content to avoid other laws being broken, such as insulting the religion of Islam, publishing information about birth control, abortion, etc.? If not, why should a foreign remailer selectively enforce this one law in NC (if it even exists)? Telling people that the website exists and that a search for "Gary Lee Burnore" on it might yield a match is not more "harassing" than the site itself. If they didn't want people to access this data, why publish it on a public website? The whole purpose of the website it apparently to let people to know who the registered sex offenders are in NC and where they live. If someone snail mailed you something you considered "harassing" and included no return address, would you accuse the sender of trying to get the postal service shut down? Wow, McClatchie. I guess you have a point. If you and Gary claim that all that happened, and that it was done by someone outside of DataBasix, then I guess we should believe it and shut down all the remailers just to make sure they aren't abused... But the fact is that all too often in the past, designer "abuse" would just automagically appear at critical times when Gary Burnore and Belinda Bryan were making demands (privately, via e-mail) on another remailer operator. How would someone outside of DataBasix have known that? How would someone other than a DataBasix insider have gotten access to the complete list of DataBasix' clients and employees in order to allegedly "spam bait" them, as Belinda claimed? Your own involvement in all of these attacks seems to more than just coincidental. Speaking of abuse and harassment, Gary Burnore demanded that Jeff Burchell turn over to him all of his remailer logs containing the e-mail addresses of everyone who had either sent or received anonymous e-mail through the server. Yet Gary refuses to disclose how such a list would have been used. Fortunately for the remailer user community, no such data was ever collected. > >Lest anyone forget, Gary launched his first tirade against anonymity when > >someone tipped off his molestation victim's mother and school officials > >anonymously. > > No, one of his first complaints about remailers was after someone used one > to harass his SO of the time, and her daughter. They had committed the > heinious crime of knowing Gary. Most women would not consider it "harassment" to be informed that their daughters were being molested. Nor did she complain. Gary did! How nice of the perpetrator to be so considerate of his victim's mother and not want to have her "harassed" by knowledge of what Gary was doing to her daughter. Ignorance is bliss, huh? Gary's motives were finally revealed when he was CONVICTED for that very crime. How would a random harasser have even known of Gary's sexual activities involving minors, before he was arrested and convicted? How would he/she know the victim's gender, age, identity, and city of residence? > >Whistleblowing has always been one of the important functions > >of anonymous remailers. > > Uh huh. And we've seen real "whistleblowing" activity here. Apparently so, when the perpetrator of the crime is the only one who complains about being exposed. In case it has escaped your attention, Gary complained PUBLICLY about a PRIVATE e-mail message to his victim's mother. If telling a mother that her daughter is being molested isn't whistleblowing, what is? > Seen plenty > of abuse. Seen postings of such a vile nature from remailers that when > people made similar postings from traceable accounts, their ISP's > terminated them. And it was not becuase of content - but becuase the > messages were harassing, in both nature and intent. TRANSLATION: Anything with which the fine folks at DataBasix disagree tends to be called "harassment" and "abuse". As for intent, the accuser has the burden of proof, there. But consider this: if even mentioning Gary's sexual activities with minors is "vile", what does that make Gary for actually committing them?

Why does the Navy research onion routing? Only reason I can think of is so that .mil can study other sites anonymously, or communicate amongst themselves using anonymous-routing-tech to avoid traffic analysis. The other practical possibility is that they're happy to have smart CS people and will fund whatever they want to do, just to keep them. ------------------------------------------------------------ David Honig Orbit Technology honig(a)otc.net Intaanetto Jigyoubu "I actually thought Silicon Valley was where women went to get fixed." ---LA Mayor Richard Riordan 98.02.19

STARR's team interviewed the store's owner and two other employees -- with one employee taking a trip down to Starr's office for questioning.

The Epilogue That Never Was - SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!!

The Epilogue That Never Was - SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!! ________________________________________________________ Memoirs of a Visible Man: When you are 'different' from others--inherently, irrevocably, unarguably different--you either learn to remain, as much as possible, invisible, or you spend much of your life in various sorts of prisons, subject to various kinds of punishments. There have always been a few 'safe havens' for those guilty of the crime of being different from those around them, although, for the most part, they have historically tended to be 'dangerous' safe havens such as pirate or merchant ships, new world colonies, fringe religious or political movements. Those with wits, who didn't mind joining the ranks of the lower fringes of society, in return for ostensibly remaining within it, could become court jesters, actors, artists, and the like. With the advent of the Age of Electonics and the rise of Virtual Reality, those who are able to remain within society's outer boundaries by comically or entertainingly mirroring the parts of the human psyche and human emotions that society requires its 'regular' members to repress have become elite, well-paid artisians who are recognized as valuable professionals in the Age of Form Over Substance. For those in the lower strata of society who are unable to successfully graduate from Society's Finishing School--usually as a result of answering "Fuck You, Shit For Brains" to questions where a "Yes Sir/Officer/YourHonor" answer is required--there are no longer many physical locations available where one can escape to , which results in the creation of an increasing number of them being labeled 'criminals' and banished to New World Order colonies consisting of six-foot cabins bounded by iron bars. Those in the higher strata of society who are unable or unwilling to live within the boundaries society requires of the masses often have the option of joining an elite group of criminal-actors who have sufficient firepower at their command to bully the others in society into recognizing their authority to disobey all of society's rules and act in their own self-interest while denying they are doing so by telling blatant and outrageous lies. (Those with a particular talent in this area sometimes reach the epitome of politics, in which the masses consider them to be every bit as 'real' as the 'people' on 'As The World Turns.' They are then free to do everything that Soap Opera actors do, with equal impunity from facing the real-life consequences that come from manslaughter, rape, robbery, marriage and drug-addiction--although they are still subject to the laws of physics when playing ski-football.) In the Glory Days of Virtual Reality, before the ElectroMagnetic Curtain began descending around those lured away from InterNet Free Terra and into the Sticky World Wide Web of the InfoMercial Highway Robbers, there were a few true Rennaisance Criminal Genius Elite who recognized that they could settle down from a life on the run--in small prairie towns such as Bienfait, Saskatchewan--and still live wild and free, riding the Virtual Outlaw Trail through the Alt2600 BadLands, robbing DataBanks, engaging in drunken brawls in the CypherPunks CryptoSaloon, partying with Bound and Gagged Asian DanceHall UnderAge Girls being pimped by Adult Check, and having the rugged good looks of Robert Redford, in an ASCII Art kind of way. Once the Information Railway began being replaced by the Information Highway as a comfortable, convenient way for the masses to journey into what were formerly remote Electronic Wilderness Areas, the outlaws and free-stinkers who had formerly been able to remain, for the most part, invisible to the programmed masses, yearning to keep other minds from being free, found themselves subject to the scrutiny of those who recognized that free-range cattle and penned sheep could not peacefully coexist in a merchant society where corporate mergers to create Company Towns, with Company Stores, would be jeopardized by small-time rustlers and fence-cutters. Thus there arose a need for ElectroMagnetic Law and Order, supported by the muddled assholes, struggling to be Freeh. The Lost Train of Thought (Part I): ...uuuhhhhh... The Runaway Train of Thought Is Melted Down To Build The WhatIf Server: WhatIf: A ClueLess Canuck, turned into a MindBot by the Institute of Applied Metaphysics in preparation for the Moscow Olympics, was culled from a Russian language class full of Canadian Mounties at the University of Regina by a Dark Continent TigerTeam agent and trained in Psychic Warfare?

Bad, bad, bill
by Corvus Corvax 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

NYT this morning reports the that the Digital Millenium Copyright Act was adopted by the Senate Judiciary Committee: "WASHINGTON - The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday adopted the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which takes a new step toward protecting creative content in cyberspace by outlawing the equipment used to commit a copyright infringement, not just the act or intent of illegally copying material. ... Most visibly absent was any exemption for devices used in encryption research, an issue Senate leaders said they hope to work out before the bill goes to the floor. " There's been a good deal of discussion of this issue around here, to be sure. But I think maybe it bears repeating that even with some kind of narrow exemption for "encryption research", this bill is conveniently poised to be used not only against Evil Copyright Infringers, but also against the kind of troublemakers that expose, for instance, the deliberate weakening of GSM authentication. Gawd. What bullshit. 571830573294323629934765012348436263285853260687657402192238 Corvus Corvax 324908584730535672342307543875016719214012473014020239437239 ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

US legal system
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Friday 5/1/98 10:02 AM Yaman Akdeniz The US court system has largely deteriorated to become part of the US Federal bureaucracy [aka Big Brother ... or probably more accurate, the Great Satan http://www.aci.net/kalliste/speccoll.htm and http://caq.com/CAQ/caq63/caq63madsen.html] 1 Judges and court clerks try to do what they want whether it conflicts with law or not. 2 Lawyers and the US court system attempt to make it appear that there IS NO LEGAL REMEDY POSSIBLE without hiring a lawyer. And the client will most likely lose both money and the case. Morales and I [http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm] are trying to change 1 and 2. Later bill Wednesday 4/1/98 11:02 AM Certified Return receipt requested Proctor Hug Jr Chief Judge, Ninth Circuit 50 West Liberty Street Reno, NV 89501-1948 (702) 784-5631 784-5166 fax Dear judge Hug: Purposes of this letter-affidavit are to file criminal complaint affidavits against 1 judge Marilyn Hall Patel for not properly processing a criminal violation of the Privacy Act, 2 former Ninth Circuit chief judge J Clifford Wallace for not properly processing criminal complaint affidavits for a felony perjury violation by Sandia National Laboratories lawyer Gregory Cone, b judge Fern Smith for not properly processing a felony perjury violation by Sandia National Laboratories lawyer Gregory Cone. c Albuquerque FBI special agent in charge Thomas Kneir for sending FBI agents Kohl and Schum to my home in an attempt to intimidate me from exercising my civil rights. d Margret D. Thomas, Judicial Assistant to the Honorable Marilyn Hall Patel, for not forwarding a valid criminal complaint affidavit regarding a criminal violation of the Privacy Act to Patel. Brief history would be valuable for your understanding of this matter. Sandia has long been involved with the security of America's nuclear arsenal. As they announce on their website: "We are funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy to design all the non-nuclear opponents of the nation's nuclear weapons" http://www.sandia.gov/">http://www.sandia.gov/</a>). This includes the cryptographic locks used to secure the nukes. NSA supplies the algorithms and implementation guidelines to Sandia. http://www.aci.net/kalliste/nukearse.htm In about 1982 I became project leader of the Missile Secure Cryptographic Unit [MSCU]. The MSCU was funded by the National Security Agency [NSA]. As a result of my about 4 year work with NSA, I was given access to its cryptographic algorithms by one document and many electronic schematics. I wrote a book ISBN: 0125475705 Title: Embedded Controller Forth For The 8051 Family Author: Payne Cover: Hardback/Cloth Imprint: Academic Press Published: September 1990 http://www.apcatalog.com/cgi-bin/AP?ISBN=0125475705&LOCATION=US&FORM=FORM2 about the software technology we used for the MSCU. In 1986 I transferred to build the data authenticator for the Department of Energy's Deployable Seismic Verification System [DSVS]for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty [CTBT]. NSA liaison for the DSVS/CTBT project offered information to me that NSA regarded former president Reagan as one of the US's foremost traitors for the reason First, U.S. President Ronald Reagan informed the world on national television that the United States was reading Libyan communications. This admission was part of a speech justifying the retaliatory bombing of Libya for its alleged involvement in the La Belle discotheque bombing in Berlin's Schoeneberg district, where two U.S. soldiers and a Turkish woman were killed, and 200 others injured. Reagan wasn't talking about American monitoring of Libyan news broadcasts. Rather, his "direct, precise, and undeniable proof" referred to secret (encrypted) diplomatic communication between Tripoli and the Libyan embassy in East Berlin. http://www.aci.net/kalliste/speccoll.htm which is further explained at http://caq.com/CAQ/caq63/caq63madsen.html 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. In early 1992 a Sandia labs director decided that he and his subordinates were going to enter the data authentication business. The director transferred me to break electronic locks for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This work was funded by the FBI/Engineering Research Facility [FBI/ERF], Quantico, VA. I ordered about $200,000 of the FBI/ERF's money buying two copies of electronic locks. One lock I ordered was the Hirsch Scramblepad electronic lock. In about 1991 I was following progress of lawsuits in the district of Northern California, The first two cases to directly address the issue of intermediate copying both originated in California's Northern District Court. They are Atari v. Nintendo and Sega v. Accolade. In both cases, the district court found that intermediate copying was NOT fair use. [The New Use of Fair Use: Accessing Copyrighted Programs Through Reverse Engineering, Stephen B. Maebius, Journal of the Patent and Trademark Office Society, June 1993, 75, n6, p433] Judge Fern Smith presided in both cases. Reason I was following Atari v Nintendo was that I my Forth book I have two chapters on reverse engineering software. One chapter contains a computer program which copied a ROM BIOS to diskette. Smith's decisions made my intermediate copying program illegal. In a strong opinion she [Fern Smith] wrote in March 1991, when granting Nintendo's request for a preliminary injunction against Atari, she lambasted Atari's lawyers for thievery. I was given the job assignment to copy the ROMs of Hirsch's 8051-based Scramblepad electronic lock to reverse engineer them to hopefully allow me to modify the locks for allow surreptitious entry. I refused to engage in illegal activity for the FBI. The termination letter seen at http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm states This is to advise you that effective July 27, 1992, you will be terminated from Sandia National Laboratories. This action is the results of your flagrant attack on a valued Sandia customer and repeated insensitivity to security/classification requirement. These acts violate Sandia National Laboratories Code of Conduct, specifically the Personal Conduct section,, and the Safeguarding Information and Records Section. ... for my whistleblowing SAND report on the National Security Agency's deficient work and refusing to mark classified on a report I and Danny Drummond wrote on how to fake Wiegand Wire access entry credentials for the FBI. Both I and my EEOC complaint officer Ray Armenta were never able to determine exactly why I was fired. However March 22, 1997 I received copies of the enclosed 1 April 15, 1994 letter to EEOC director Charles Burtner from Sandia Diversity Leadership director Michael G. Robles. 2 July 27, 1997 Termination of Employment memorandum containing my signature. 3 DISCIPLINARY REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES, July 16, 1992. 4 DISCIPLINARY REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES, July 6, 1989. 5 September 6, 1995 letter from EEOC Investigator Larry J. Trujillo to Richard Gallegos. from Sandian Richard Gallegos. Sandia lawyer Harold Folley previously stated that no documents existed. The Privacy Act states (d) Access to Records.--Each agency that maintains a system of records shall-- (1) upon request by any individual to gain access to his record or to any information pertaining to him which is contained in the system, permit him and upon his request, a person of his own choosing to accompany him, to review the record and have a copy made of all or any portion thereof in a form comprehensible to him, except that the agency may require the individual to furnish a written statement authorizing discussion of that individual's record in the accompanying person's presence; The Sandia Disciplinary Review Committee NEVER interviewed me to check the veracity of their statements. The Privacy Act states (2) permit the individual to request amendment of a record pertaining to him and-- The statements in the SDRC are incorrect. I followed all Sandia procedures known to me. I did nothing wrong. I had no opportunity to defend myself. My rights guaranteed under the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Article XIV. Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. have been violated. C My permission was never asked to release these records to Gallegos. As you may realize about the Privacy Act (b) Conditions of Disclosure.--No agency shall disclose any record which is contained in a system of records by any means of communication to any person, or to another agency, except pursuant to a written request by, or with the prior written consent of, the individual to whom the record pertains ... The Privacy Act allows imposition of criminal penalties for those like members of the SDRC, Robles, Burtner, and Trujillo who (i)(1) Criminal Penalties.--Any officer or employee of an agency, who by virtue of his employment or official position, has possession of, or access to, agency records which contain individually identifiable information the disclosure of which is prohibited by this section or by rules or regulations established thereunder, and who knowing that disclosure of the specific material is so prohibited, willfully discloses the material in any manner to any person or agency not entitled to receive it, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not more than $5,000. (2) Any officer or employee of any agency who willfully maintains a system of records without meeting the notice requirements of subsection (e)(4) of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not more than $5,000. I forward criminal complaint affidavits on the above individuals to selected magistrate judge Marilyn Hall Patel. Patel ignored my complaints. I return to the subject of breaking electronic locks for the FBI/ERF. Smith's two decisions were overturned on appeal. However, both cases have been overruled on appeal. In the ground-breaking Atari decision, the Federal Circuit held that intermediate copying was a fair use. The Sega decision, which was appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, similarly overruled the district court and held that intermediate copying may be fair use. Sandia patents and trademark lawyer Gregory A. Cone in the enclosed affidavit for a ADEA lawsuit I filed in the District of New Mexico stated AFFIDAVIT OF GREGORY A. CONE Gregory A. Cone, being duly sworn, deposes and states: 1. I am employed by Sandia Corporation. I am an attorney admitted to practice law in the State of California and before the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office and concentrate on legal issues related to patent and copyright law. In that capacity, I am familiar with activities at the Sandia National Laboratories ("Sandia") as they related to what is sometimes referred to as "reverse engineering ." ... [I]t is the general view at Sandia that disassembly of "object code" under such circumstances constitutes a "fair use" of copyrighted software under 17 U.S.C. article 107 and is thus permissible. Sandia bases its view on Sega Enterprises v. Accolade, Inc. 977 F.2d 1510, 24 U.S.P. Q. 2d 1561 (9th Cir. 1992), amended, 1993 U. S. App. LEXIS 78, and Atari Games Corp v. Nintendo of America, Inc, 975 F.2d 832 (Fed. Cir. 1992). ... FURTHER, Affidavit sayeth naught. (signed) GREGORY A. CONE SUBSCRIBED, SWORN TO and ACKNOWLEDGED before me on this 12th day of August, 1993, by Gregory A. Cone." (signed) Mary A. Resnick Notary Public My Commission Expires: 2-7-94 Cone has the two citations reversed. The U. S. Patent Quarterly references the Atari v Nintendo lawsuit 1510 should be corrected to 1015. Cone issued the above affidavit to District of New Mexico federal court in attempt to show that I had no legal reason to refuse to reverse engineer the Hirsch Scramblepad electronic lock. I was covered under 10 C.F.R. 708 - DOE CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEE PROTECTION PROGRAM for my refusal to reverse engineer the Hirsch Scramblepad code. 708.1 Purpose, This part establishes procedures for timely and effective processing of complaints by employees of contractors performing work at sites owned or leased by the Department of Energy (DOE), concerning alleged discriminatory actions taken by their employers in retaliation for the disclosure of information relative to health and safety, mismanagement, and other matters as provided in 708.5(a), for participation in proceeding before Congress, or for the refusal to engage in illegal or dangerous activities." ... Cone's affidavit attempts to create the appearance that reverse engineering was legal before July 27, 1992, the date of my firing. Title 18, Chapter 79, Article 1623 felony perjury. Article 1623 - False declarations before grand jury or court (a) Whoever under oath (or in any declaration, certificate, verification, or statement under penalty of perjury as permitted under section 1746 of title 28, United States Code) in any proceeding before or ancillary to any court or grand jury of the United States knowingly make any false material declaration or makes or uses any other information, including any book, paper, document, record, recording, or other material, knowing the same to contain any false material declaration, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. Decision of the Atari Games Corp. v. Nintendo of America appeal cited at page 1016 from 24 USPQ 2d was Decided SEPTEMBER 10, 1992. I was fired JULY 27, 1992 so my work assignment was illegal at the time I refused. Therefore, Cone committed felony perjury IN WRITING filed with New Mexico District Federal Court. Chronological review of criminal complaint affidavits would be valuable before I present the current criminal complaint affidavits. 1 Monday March 11, 1996 10:05 I wrote judge Fern Smith a certified return receipt requested letter to ask her to either arrange or personally indict Sandia lawyer Cone for felony perjury. Smith did not respond. 2 Friday May 31, 1996 08:58 I write the criminal complaint affidavit for the arrest of Sandia lawyer Cone and appoint judge Fern Smith as magistrate. 3 Thursday June 13 on orders of Smith and Albuquerque FBI special agent in charge Thomas Kneir FBI agents Kohl and Schum visited my home at 17:08 to investigate me for sending letters referenced in 1 and 2 to Smith. 4 In response to 3 on Tuesday July 9, 1996 06:52 I filed criminal complaint affidavit against Cone, again, for felony perjury with J. Clifford Wallace, chief judge, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Smith for § 4. Misprision of felony Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. for Smith's failure to properly process Cone's felony perjury and § 241. Conspiracy against rights If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; ... for sending, with Knier, FBI agents Kohl and Schum to my home in an attempt to intimidate me. Knier for Conspiracy against rights for his complicity with Smith. 5 Monday July 15, 1996 06:23 I write Wallace again inquiring why he has not responded. 6 August 15, 1996 Thursday Ms. Corina Orozco, Deputy Clerk, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals writes me to tell me In the future, all correspondence should be addressed to the Clerk of the Court. Do not address any correspondence to any one specific judge of this court. 7 September 12, 1996 06:20 I inform Orozco by letter that she is obstructing justice. I ask Orozco to desist. 8 July 25, 1996 Senior Case Expeditor [sic], Gwen Baptiste from the Office of the Clerk, United States Court of Appeals for The Ninth Circuit, writes Re: Complaint of Judicial Misconduct We have received your complaint of judicial misconduct. Pursuant to the Rules of the Judicial Council of the Ninth Circuit Governing Complaints of Judicial Misconduct or Disability, you complaint is being returned to you for compliance with the above rules. A copy of these rules is enclosed. To understand the purpose of the procedure and who may be complaint about please refer to Rules 1 and 2. 9 Wednesday September 18, 1996 11:05 by certified, return receipt requested mail I write Wallace again told tell him Lawyer Wallace, I did not intend to file or did I file a complaint of judicial misconduct. Lawyer Wallace, I filed a criminal complaint affidavit as I have a right to as a citizen of the United States of America when the criminal acts are committed by government personnel, their contractors, Department of Justice and judicial personnel. 10 Wednesday November 27, 1996 09:18 I wrote certified, return receipt requested letter to inform Wallace Purpose of this letter is to inform you of consequences of your failure to perform your duties as required by law as magistrate judge. You are committing felony violations of law. and If I have not complied with all applicable rules, then I ask that you inform me of any non-compliance so that I can correct my criminal complaints and re-submit them. I satisfied the requirement of the Constitution and Rules 3 and 4, and issued written and sworn complaints that set forth the essential facts constituting the offenses charged against Smith, Kneir, and Cone. I also showed facts showing that the offenses were committed by Smith, Kneir and Cone and these individuals committed them. So I ask that you do your job and proceed with supervision of the arrest and prosecution of Smith, Kneir, and Cone for title 18 felony violations of law. 11 Monday March 24, 1997 17:57 I write a certified - return receipt requested letter to Marilyn Hall Patel, District Judge; California, Northern to inform her she has been selected as magistrate to process the criminal complaint affidavit against Sandia Diversity Director Michael G. Robles for sending the enclosed SDRC report to Burtner of EEOC. Robles did this without my written permission and without checking the accuracy of the information.

Thomas, Judicial Assistant to the Honorable Marilyn Hall Patel for violating § 1512. Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant ... (C) prevent the communication by any person to a law enforcement officer or judge of the United States of information relating to the commission or possible commission of a Federal offense ... (3) hinder, delay, or prevent the communication to a law enforcement officer or judge of the United States of information relating to the commission or possible commission of a Federal offense ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both. for writing on May 9, 1997 Dear Mr. Payne: We are in receipt of your recent letters. Please be advised that we do not issue warrants on criminal proceeding absent an indictment, information or complaint initiated by the United States Attorney. For this reason, and by copy of this letter, we are referring this matter to that office. Any future correspondence concerning these events should be sent to the United States Attorney and not to judge Patel. Thank you. Very truly yours, MARGARET D. THOMAS Judicial Assistant to the Honorable Marilyn Hall Patel cc: Joel Levin Criminal Section Assistant United States Attorney Judge Hug, Rule 3 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, entitled the Complaint provides: The complaint is a written statement of the essential facts constituting the offense charged. It shall be made upon oath before a magistrate. As you may be aware, An individual may "make a written complaint on oath before an examining and committing magistrate, and obtain a warrant of arrest." This is in conformity with the Federal Constitution, and "consonant with the principles of natural justice and personal liberty found in the common law." [United States v Kilpatrick (1883, DC NC) 16G 765, 769] You may also be aware, A complaint though quite general in terms is valid if it sufficiently apprises the defendant of the nature of the offense with which he is charged. [United States v Wood (1927, DC Tex) 26F2d 908, 910, affd (CA5 Tex) 26 F2d 912.] And for your edification, The commission of a crime must be shown by facts positively stated. The oath or affirmation required is of facts and not opinions or conclusion. [United States ex rel. King v Gokey (1929, DC NY) 32 F2d 93, 794] The complaint must be accompanied by an oath. [Re Rules of Court (1877, CC Ga) 3 Woods 502, F Cas No 2126] A complaint must be sworn to before a commissioner or other officer empowered to commit persons charged with offenses against the United States. [United States v Bierley ( 1971, WD Pa) 331 F Supp 1182] Such office is now called a magistrate. A complaint is ordinarily made by an investigating officer or agent, and where private citizens seek warrants of arrest, the practice recommended by the Judicial Conference of the United States is to refer the complaint to the United States Attorney. However, further reference to him is rendered futile where a mandamus proceeding is brought to compel him to prosecute and he opposes the proceeding. [Pugach v Klein (1961, SD NY) 193 F Supp 630, citing Manual for United States Commissioners 5 (1948)] Any attempt to bring criminal complaints to government authorities would, of course, be futile. I am a citizen of the United States and, judge Hug, you are the assigned magistrate. In order to satisfy the requirement of the Constitution and Rules 3 and 4, a written and sworn complaint should set forth the essential facts constituting the offense charged and also facts showing that the offense was committed and that the defendant committed it. And, As to the requirement that the complaint be made on personal knowledge of the complainant, it is enough for the issuance of a warrant that a complainant shows it to be on the knowledge of the complainant. [Giordenello v United States (1958) 357 US 480, 2 L Ed. 2d 1503, 78 S Ct 1245, rev. (Ca5 Tx) 241 F2d 575, 579 in accord Rice v Ames (1901) 180 US 371, 45 L Ed 577, 21 S ct 406, and United States v Walker, (1952, CA2 NY) 197 F 2d 287, 289, cert den 344 US 877, 97 L Ed 679, 73 S Ct 172] So as to keep contiguous the requirements of the law ad the criminal complaint affidavit, I will include these complaints in this letter to you.

Payne 13015 Calle de Sandias NE Albuquerque, NM 87111 505-292-7037 Judge Hug, I have been extremely patient with judges and clerks of the district of Northern California and Ninth Circuit. Criminal compliant affidavits were filed between March 11, 1996 and June 13, 1997. Nothing has happened as of April 1, 1998. I ask that you 1 issue warrants of arrest or 2 inform me why you cannot proceed to do what I request within 60 calendar days. Smith's case is particularly egregious. Smith and Albuquerque FBI agent in charge James K. Weber, who replaced Kneir, sent US Marshals Lester and Lopez to my home on January 24, 1997 in a second attempt to intimidate me. Anotin Scalia was appointed magistrate to process criminal complaint affidavits against Smith and others for the second intimidation attempt. Sincerely, William H.

The envelope is hand-addressed and stamped CONFIDENTIAL. Since no cover letter was enclosed to explain the return of what I believe is both a valid and lawful criminal complaint affidavit supported by WRITTEN EVIDENCE, some even in FILED court documents, I feel we must investigate to discover the REASON. All of the accused are federal employees or contractor employees. Possibility exists that return of the enclosed criminal complaint affidavit without cover letter stating the REASON may indicate violation of Title 18 § 1512. Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant [(b)] Whoever knowingly ... corruptly persuades another person, or attempts to do so, or engages in misleading conduct toward another person, with intent to - ... (2) cause or induce any person to - (A) withhold testimony, or withhold a record, document, or other object, from an official proceeding; ...
