Screwy as the New Israel idea may seem, it's been around a while. There was talk of such a plan in the early 90s to settle Russian Jews in the US Southwest, using decommissioned military bases as new Ellis Islands, kibbutzim, trailer trashheaps. As was eventually done in the Israel (our firm surveyed housing sites for the latter and learned of the alternative US plan then). We were told that the promise of Amer-Indian casino gambling made southwest real estate too attractive to devalue with refugee camps, so the idea was deferred it until the gambling gold rush eased, or a Mid-East conflagration kicked in an emergency relocation plan devised by DoD (no surprise there, DoD contingency-plans the globe).

Mail Two Letters & Earn $15,000 Month !!
by dave＠xxxdoe.net 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

JUST MAIL TWO LETTERS....AND "Make up to $15,000 in ONE (1) MONTH" RESULTS ARE GUARANTEED! (proof will be sent with order) As unbelievable as it sounds. I have developed an "exclusive information package" that can earn you as much as $15,000 within a "30 day" period. It's a money making discovery that is so powerful, it's guaranteed to produce at least $500 (or more) average cash income PER DAY! by following my simple instructions, or I'll pay you $100 for just giving it a try. Others are doing it - why not you? I'll show you exactly how it's done and provide you with SPECIFIC FORMS AND INFORMATION. You will not be able to believe how amazingly simple this is to do. I know you've been bombarded with ads claiming to make you rich. You've seen them - a guy telling you his tragic life story about being broke, cars being repossessed and living in poverty. Then, as if by magic, his problems are gone and he's standing by a very expensive car (probably isn't even his). Or throwing up wads of money (probably 100 one dollar bills) and telling you about his little secret he has to make you rich beyond your wildest dreams. I know, from personal experience, that most money making plans really don't work in practice. It's a fact that there are very few ways for an average person like myself to easily make big money fast. For years I have searched out and investigated many money making ideas. I've been determined to find the very best, honest methods of getting rich fast. I have bought and tried a number of courses, plans and "How-To" books on making money "easily". I've tried import/export wholesaling, self publishing, mail order catalogs, real estate and stock investments, pyramid schemes, multi-level marketing junk, and many other different mail order methods. I've spent hours of wasted energy trying to find the right one. After spending all that time and a lot of money, I have discovered only one thing for sure - THEY ALL REQUIRE A LOT OF HARD WORK AND TIME (usually 2-6 months to get started) AND MONEY (usually $400 to several thousand dollars up-front). And after that, the profits, if any, were usually very small. I'VE COME ACROSS SOMETHING THAT CAN TOTALLY CHANGE YOUR WAY OF THINKING, YOUR LIFE, AND YOUR INCOME FOR THE BETTER! $15,000 will be sent to you in ONE (1) MONTH GUARANTEED! Very little work, very little investment, and no "products". Forget about work and forget about risk - there is very little of this involved. My program isn't a business or a job; it's a proven money making principle. It's a concept that is so SIMPLE and so INCREDIBLE that it would be hard to make a mistake, even if you tried. I believe in my heart, that this is THE BEST SYSTEM OFFERED IN THE UNITED STATES TODAY. It's the shortest and safest way to make this kind of money that I have ever investigated. And it can be repeated over and over again. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: MAIL ONLY TWO (2) LETTERS ABOUT EVERY SIX (6) WEEKS - (JUST 16 LETTERS A YEAR!) THAT'S ALL I DO! ANYONE ELSE RECEIVING MY REPORT AND MATERIALS CAN DO IT TOO! 1. Mail one letter about four sentences long to "Business A" (I'll give you the actual letter). They will send back to you a very specific type of information. 2. Put the materials I sent you along with the information from "Business A" into a large envelope, include my instructions and mail it directly to "Business B". They will take care of everything else for you. No work involved on your part. Everything will be carefully disclosed to you in precise detailed steps, clearly, concisely, and in an easy-to-understand manner. I'll send you the facts. Actual working materials, and instructions you need to make money, AT ONCE. Mail just sixteen (16) letters a year and earn up to $180,000 average income per year with this. There is nothing magical about it, it's all "know-how" and anyone, even a high school student, can learn to do this in approximately 30 minutes. You only need to know whom to send the letters to! THAT'S IT - IT'S THAT EXPLOSIVE! And....Guess what? You'll be surprised to learn that both "Business A" and "Business B" can be found in most every city in the United States and Canada. This has got to be the most valuable piece of information that money can buy. No more guesswork, no more hassles....nothing but straight easy income. This technique can be used anywhere, by anyone with a tiny bit of ambition. The money will start coming in directly to your home or office in only a matter of days. EVERY PENNY IS YOURS TO KEEP! It all comes in "cold cash", ready for you to spend right now. It's a specific and definite money-making process that will work for you exactly as it's working for me and several others. In fact, this might be the shortest legal way to make money that has ever been invented. SPEND ONLY TWENTY (20) MINUTES A DAY FOLLOW-UP AT HOME AND DO NOTHING ELSE EXCEPT WATCH THE DOLLARS KEEP COMING IN (INSTEAD OF OUT) FOR A CHANGE! ABSOLUTELY FOOL-PROOF This plan will show you how to take in more money in a day, than you now earn in a week....more money in a month, than you now make per year, and more money in a year, than anyone thought possible. Enjoy your life in a way that most people will only dream about. It would stagger one's imagination, while they are making only a fraction of what you will be making by working only part time, at home. Don't worry, the money is always there and ready - enough to create a new lifestyle that lets you live and work as YOU please, anywhere YOU please. It should not interfere with your present job or family life. (Earn money 24 hours a day without stepping out of your home or apartment!) DOUBLE GUARANTEE! After receiving and implementing the process described in the manual, "Mail Two Letters and Make $15,000 in One Month" for a two year period, you may return it at that time for DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK. No Questions Asked! No Hassles! No Delays! Just a prompt refund.

You will make $15,000 in one month exactly as outlined in my program, $500 average daily profit mailing just sixteen (16) letters a year and doing ONLY 20 MINUTES average follow-up work a day.

MAKE BIG REPUTATION CAPITAL !!!
by nobody＠huge.cajones.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hello Mr. C. Punk, We all get junk email promising instant riches if we send away our hard-earned dollars to a total stranger who promises us outrageous returns on our investment. So why aren't we all rich beyond our wildest dreams? The answer is simple -- GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE WITH THE FREE MARKET! The Federal Treasury only prints so much hard currency, thus limiting the amount of available funds for the citizens to invest in Multi-Level Marketing schemes. Therefore, in the long run, all of these efforts are doomed to failure. Now, however, thanks to the cutting edge technology of Reputation Capital Enterprises, Inc., all government interference has been bypassed and citizens such as yourself can now be offered a MLM OPPORTUNITY which is unlimited in scope. Now you can increase your REPUTATION CAPITAL by leaps and bounds, by simply investing a small portion of it in this UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY, which is initially being offered to only those few individuals who already have a modicum of RC to invest. Just listen to what a few select individuals have to say about how the REPUTATION CAPITAL MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING SCHEME has changed their lives for the better: Jim Bell: "My reputation capital had sunk so low that even when I was persecuted by the government, I didn't get any support from my fellow anarchists. "They all said I was a fucking 'loon' and tried to distance themselves from me, so that my problems wouldn't reflect badly on themselves. "Now, thanks to the RC MLM SCHEME, my Reputation Capital has increased to such a degree that the IRS tells me they'll just trust me to file proper returns in the future, even if I claim large rebates, and my fellow cypherpunks are fighting over who will get to provide me with free lodging, food, and alcoholic beverages during my visit to the Bay Area cypherpunks meetings." Rapid Wombat: "It's not easy being a marsupial. When you can't walk upright, people tend to discount your thoughts and opinions, no matter how well you present them. "Thanks to the RC MLM SCHEME, however, I now have people from around the world who consult me as to what kind of wine goes with insects and small larvae." Dr. Dimitri Vulis KOTM: "I was once reviled by all -- my posts were canceled from Usenet, I was being unsubscribed from mailing lists, and my ASCII art was sent to the trash bin without a second thought. "Thanks to the RC MLM SCHEME my gratuitous insults are now considered a badge of honor, and I receive constant requests for digitally signed ASCII art works, which are now receiving recognition as a reputable art form. "I even receive private email from Gilmore <spit> and Sameer <fart>, begging me to let them suck my cock." Tim C. May: "Of course, I wrote about this back in the early '50's, before many of you were even born. That's why I have so goddamn much Reputation Capital piled up in my basement, next to the boxes of AK-47's. "If you took advantage of the RC MLM SCHEME, then you, too, could write long, rambling posts to the cypherpunks list going on endlessly about syphlitic philosophers like Nietzsche, and nobody would dare question whether the post was off-topic." Kent Crispin: "I don't have a brain in my head, and I live in an intellectual ivory tower where I can comfortably avoid any issues which have to do with the niggardly details of real life. "Thanks to the RC MLM SCHEME, however, my Reputation Capital has soared so high that people respond to my posts as if I really had a brain and my posts contained sufficient content that they were actually worth replying to." ACT TODAY, and you can increase your REPUTATION CAPITAL to the point where people will take your ideas, no matter how half-baked they are, seriously, and respond to your posts as if you weren't just another hopeless loser with too much time on his or her hands, trying desperately to act as if your ideas and opinions are worthy of reading, let alone considering. To begin your journey to REPUTATION CAPITAL RICHES, just send an email to the addresses below, signifying that you consider this person to be a recognized, hallowed authority on everything under the sun, and some things that aren't. Within days, you will receive a plentiful plethora of pithy episticles, deeming you to be a person of consummate reputation, worthy of the utmost respect for your ideas and opinions. #1 - alec(a)abraxis.com #2 - aga(a)dhp.com #3 - alan(a)ctrl-alt-del.com Reputation Monger

FYI for SF Bay Aryans. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY HORIZONS SEMINAR INTERNET TAXATION: ECONOMICS, TECHNOLOGY AND LAW CHARLES McLURE, Jr. HOOVER INSTITUTION Wednesday, May 7, 1997, 4:15 pm Manning Faculty Lounge, Stanford Law School (RSVP Susan French, SLTPC(a)forsythe.stanford.edu, or 723-0981) Should electronic commerce be taxed, and how? What should be taxed, income, sales, or both? Who should tax, the federal government, states, or both? Should a special excise tax be imposed on selected aspects of electronic commerce? Is Internet taxation feasible, and how? Answering these and similar questions requires agreement on the appropriate economic objectives of Internet taxation combined with an understanding of the dynamic interplay between technological and legal forces. A draft paper will be available from http://www-techlaw.stanford.edu after May 2. Charles E. McLure, Jr., a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, specializes in the economics of taxation and tax reform. He has served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Tax Analysis, a senior economist on the staff of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, vice president of the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a tax policy consultant to various countries, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the United Nations. Policy and Technology Horizons Seminars (PATHS) examine technological developments that may require a fundamental re-examination of policy, law, and regulation. Sponsored by the Stanford Law and Technology Policy Center, PATHS help identify critical policy issues in time for intelligent policymaking.

New USG Privacy Initiative
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The Administration has issued today for public comment a major new paper on privacy: "Options for Promoting Privacy on the National Information Infrastructure" Opening paragraphs: This Options Paper explores the growing public concern about personal information privacy. The paper describes the status of electronic data protection and fair information practices in the United States today, beginning with a discussion of the Principles for providing and using personal information issued by the Information Infrastructure Task Force in 1995. It then provides an overview of new information technologies, which shows that personal information is currently collected, shared, aggregated, and disseminated at a rate and to a degree unthinkable just a few years ago. Government is no longer the sole possessor of extensive amounts of personal information about U.S. citizens; in recent years the acquisition of personal information by the private sector has increased dramatically. We next consider in more detail the laws and policies affecting information privacy in four specific areas: government records, communications, medical records, and the consumer market. This examination reveals that information privacy policy in the United States consists of various laws, regulations and practices, woven together to produce privacy protection that varies from sector to sector. Sometimes the results make sense, and sometimes they do not. The degree of protection accorded to personal information may depend on the data delivery mechanism rather than on the type of information at issue. Moreover, information privacy protection efforts in the United States are generally reactive rather than proactive: both the public and the private sector adopt policies in response to celebrated incidents of nonconsensual disclosure involving readily discernable harm. Sometimes this approach leaves holes in the fabric of privacy protection. We then turn to the core question: in the context of the GII, what is the best mechanism to implement fair information practices that balance the needs of government, commerce, and individuals, keeping in mind both our interest in the free flow of information and in the protection of information privacy? At one end of the spectrum there is support for an entirely market-based response. At the other end of the spectrum, we are encouraged to regulate fair information practices across all sectors of the economy. In between these poles lie a myriad of options. In response to public concern, both government and private industry seem to be taking a harder look at privacy issues. As government and consumers become more aware of the GII's data collection, analysis and distribution capabilities, demand could foster a robust, competitive market for privacy protection. This raises the intriguing possibility that privacy could emerge as a market commodity in the Information Age. We recognize ongoing efforts to enhance industry self regulation to carry out the IITF Privacy Principles. We also discuss ways this self regulation might be enforced, and discuss a number of ways that government could facilitate development of a privacy market. We then consider a number of options that involve creation of a federal privacy entity. We discuss some of the many forms that such an entity could take and consider the advantages and disadvantages of the various choices. We also consider the functions that such an entity might perform, as well as various options for locating a privacy entity within the federal government. This paper presents a host of options for government and private sector action. Our ultimate goal is to identify the means to maintain an optimal balance between personal privacy and freedom of information in the digital environment. The next step is to receive and respond to public comment on the report in order to develop consensus regarding the appropriate allocation of public and private sector responsibility for implementation of fair information practices. --------- http://www.iitf.nist.gov/ipc/privacy.htm (216K) We've mirrored it at: http://jya.com/privacy.htm

List of reliable remailers

I operate a remailer pinging service which collects detailed information about remailer features and reliability. To use it, just finger remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu There is also a Web version of the same information, plus lots of interesting links to remailer-related resources, at: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~raph/remailer-list.html This information is used by premail, a remailer chaining and PGP encrypting client for outgoing mail. For more information, see: http://www.c2.org/~raph/premail.html For the PGP public keys of the remailers, finger pgpkeys(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu This is the current info: REMAILER LIST This is an automatically generated listing of remailers. The first part of the listing shows the remailers along with configuration options and special features for each of the remailers.

Note: I'm relying on the word of the remailer operator here, and haven't verified the reord info myself. mon Remailer has been known to monitor contents of private email. filter Remailer has been known to filter messages based on content. If not listed in conjunction with mon, then only messages destined for public forums are subject to filtering. Raph Levien

Corrected Printing of Applied Cryptography Now Available
by Bruce Schneier 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Wiley has finally published a corrected printing of Applied Cryptography, 2nd ed!!! They didn't correct everything, only changes that didn't affect page breaks. Still, I counted over 250 individual corrections. And under a dozen errors remaining. I'm thrilled that they finally did this. The fifth printing (or greater) is the corrected printing. To find what printing you own, turn to page iv (it's opposite the "Contents in Brief" page). The last line (under "Printed in the United States of America") is a series of numbers, counting down from 10. The lowest number is the printing. You have a fifth printing if your last line looks like: 10 9 8 7 6 5 If you want to buy a fifth printing, you have two options. One, you can go to a bookstore and find one. You can't ask the bookstore to buy a fifth printing; all he can do is order a copy of the book and hope for the best. I believe that the fourth printing is sold out (in softcover, at least), but I cannot be sure. The other option is to buy it from me. I have a large supply of fifth printings that I will sell at the usual 15% discount: softcover - $42.00 hardcover - $59.00 Postage is as follows: surface to US - $3.00 air to US - $5.00 Canada - $5.00 surface elsewhere - $5.00 Contact me if you want airmail overseas. It's expensive.

You've done more to protect the Internet in five minutes than many people will do this year. ________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND ON SAFE (HR 695) In early May, the Judiciary Committee will be voting on whether to send HR 695, the Security and Freedom Through Encryption (SAFE) Act, on to the full House of Representatives. The SAFE Bill, introduced by Reps. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Anna Eshoo (D-CA), would promote privacy and security on the Internet by: * relaxing current export controls on encryption technologies; * prohibiting the government from imposing "key-escrow" or "key- recovery" inside the United States, and; * addresses concerns from law enforcement about the use of encryption in the furtherance of a crime. The SAFE bill enjoys broad bi-partisan support and currently has 78 co-sponsors. Although no bill is ever perfect, the SAFE bill, along with Pro-CODE, a similar bill in the Senate sponsored by Sens. Burns (R-MT) and Leahy (D-VT), represent the best chance yet of passing real reform of US encryption policy. The Senate Commerce Committee is expected to hold a markup on Pro-CODE soon. The Clinton Administration, through the FBI and NSA, is working hard behind the scenes to block passage of SAFE and Pro-CODE. The Administration favors an approach which would limit the availability of privacy-protecting encryption technologies and compel American Citizens to ensure law enforcement access to their private online communications. By passing the SAFE bill and sending on to the floor, the House Judiciary Committee will send a strong signal to the Administration that Congress is serious about passing real reform of US encryption policy, and would represent an important victory in the fight for privacy on the Internet. Detailed background information, including the full text of the bill, and analysis is available online at http://www.crypto.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ WHY IS THIS ISSUE IMPORTANT TO INTERNET USERS? Encryption technologies are the locks and keys of the Information age -- enabling individuals and businesses to protect sensitive information as it is transmitted over the Internet. As more and more individuals and businesses come online, the need for strong, reliable, easy-to-use encryption technologies has become a critical issue to the health and viability of the Net. Current US encryption policy, which limits the strength of encryption products US companies can sell abroad, also limits the availability of strong, easy-to-use encryption technologies in the United States. US hardware and software manufacturers who wish to sell their products on the global market must either conform to US encryption export limits or produce two separate versions of the same product, a costly and complicated alternative. The export controls, which the NSA and FBI argue help to keep strong encryption out of the hands of foreign adversaries, are having the opposite effect. Strong encryption is available abroad, but because of the export limits and the confusion created by nearly four years of debate over US encryption policy, strong, easy-to-use privacy and security technologies are not widely available off the shelf or "on the net" here in the US. A recently discovered flaw in the security of the new digital telephone network exposed the worst aspects of the Administration's encryption policy. Because the designers needed to be able to export their products, the system's security was "dumbed down". Researchers subsequently discovered that it is quite easy to break the security of the system and intrude on what should be private conversations. This incident underscores the larger policy problem: US companies are at a competitive disadvantage in the global marketplace when competing against companies that do not have such hindrances. And now, for the first time in history, the Clinton Administration has proposed DOMESTIC RESTRICTIONS on the ability of Americans to protect their privacy and security online. All of us care about our national security, and no one wants to make it any easier for criminals and terrorists to commit criminal acts. But we must also recognize encryption technologies can aid law enforcement and protect national security by limiting the threat of industrial espionage and foreign spying, promote electronic commerce and protecting privacy. What's at stake in this debate is nothing less than the future of privacy and the fate of the Internet as a secure and trusted medium for commerce, education, and political discourse. _____________________________________________________________________________ ABOUT THIS ALERT / PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS For more information, contact the following organizations who have signed onto this effort at their web sites.

off-topic/Flying cows

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I just had to forward this...<G> (translated from a german newsservice) -=> Quoting In:germnews@listserv.gmd.de to Harka <=- Last Page: Flying cow sinks japanese fishing boat Wladiwostok. A cow fell out of an airplane before the siberian coast and smashed onto japanese fishing boat, causing it to sink. That reported the German Embassy in Moscow in an internal note to the [german] State Department. Appearantly a russian military plane was flying over the Ochotskian sea with stolen cows on board; the cows started panicking and made the airplane instable in it's flight - they weren't tied to the walls. Therefore the pilots used the last possibility: they opened the back door and moved the cows out of the machine. One of the cows hit a japanese fishing boat and turned it over. The crew could save themselves to the coast, where they were arrested by russian guards, who wouldn't believe the cow story - until an investigation proved it valid. A russian official responsible for traffic is supposed to have mentioned this case to the German Embassy as a strange example for the terrible condition of russian flight safety. The State Department would neither confirm nor deny the incident.

While it might be too touchy for Netscaper cryptographers to address openly, I wonder if there is not a scheme afoot to go along with the current restrictions in order to be better positioned to compete with others intending to launch robust encryption as soon as the leak in the dam globally breaks. There may be more to this story than appears in the PR of industry and government. The crypto fight may be a diversion. Suppose the governments intend to relax crypto restrictions once other technologies to monitor electronic transactions are in place and and enforcers have been trained to snare illegal transactors based on physical evidence of crime beyond the digital. Recall that that's what Peter Neumann and others on the NRC crypto panel suggested as an agenda for the FBI to forego undue crypto emphasis. Is it not possible that the US and other nations will allow strong encryption so long as other means are at hand to control any action merely cloaked in encrypted language, as has been done forever with stylistic literature and speech? To, as with its predecessors, tolerate the artist of cryptoanarchy but guillotine the actor.

The result will be the loss of your keys. For what little it is worth, key zeroization is built into almost all US government crypto gear, usually with prominent switches on the front panel marked "zeroize" for emergencies. And most all of this gear has tamper switches that activate the zeroizing logic when any of the covers of the equipment are removed - and often there is more than one zeroize circuit in a system in case the primary one fails to work. My understanding is that the NSA has rather specific and detailed requirements for this feature in gear being designed for them, and one can certainly see why it would be a requirement in military systems that might have to be quickly rendered useless to an enemy in the moments before capture. So it is hardly a new idea. Dave Emery die(a)die.com

He is supposed to get back to me on it. A few years ago, I maintained a low-traffic mailing list in which the users could be anonymous to each other - I was the only person who knew the recipient list. I used perl scripts to manage it, and manually edited messages which requested anonymity (it was a digest-style list). A perl script individually mailed copies to about 600 recipients. It worked, but was not scalable to higher traffic volumes. Peter Trei trei(a)process.com
