FLASH: Fwd: Modification to ITAR under way: Will it affect crypto too?
by Jean-Francois Avon 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi Cypherpunks. I fell on that text in the Canadian Firearms Digest, V2 #506 today. Maybe somebody will want to look into it to see what part of ITAR was modified and if it will affect crypto... Please feel free to forward to every possibly interested party. Ciao jfa ============================================================= Date: Wed, 22 Jul 1998 06:29:54 -0600 From: Rod Regier <rr(a)dymaxion.ca> Subject: US Export controls saga update (http://www.pmdtc.org/oas.PDF) indicates that US State Dept. expects the current exemption of Canada from the ITAR export permit requirements for firearms and ammunition (and parts thereof) to be rescinded soon. When I spoke to a US State Department employee, they indicated they were being told it is going to happen in a few days. They gave me a Canadian government employee counterpart contact information (?Dept of Foreign Affairs?). I spoke with the Canadian government contact, and was pleasantly surprised for a change. I was told that Canada plans to contest this threatened action, since in part it could have wider trade implications outside the firearms and ammunition realm. This is certainly refreshing, since on the whole the current Canadian administration has generally leapt at any chance to put it to the Canadian firearms community. My contact expressed the belief that a change in Canada's ITAR permit exemption status by the United States cannot be accomplished solely by Executive branch action, but must be cleared thru the Legislative branch (Congress) too. If that is indeed the case, it is much less certain of approval, since the anti-gunners may control the US Executive branch, but they don't control US Congress at this time. - -- Rod Regier, Software Development bus: (902)422-1973 x108 Dymaxion Research Ltd., 5515 Cogswell St., fax: (902)421-1267 Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 1R2 Canada email: RRegier(a)dymaxion.ca corporate url: http://www.dymaxion.ca Jean-Francois Avon, B.Sc.

Arty Farcer - SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!!
by Linda Reed--PCC West Campus CSC 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Arty Farcer, Intelligence - SPACE ALIENS HIDE M DRUGS!!! _________________________________________________________ Professer Stephen Grossman, chief cognitator at Boston University's Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, has created Thing1 and Thing2--robots which can adapt to their environment by mastering approach and avoidance behavior. He states, "The networks we're building here learn from examples and exhibit some capability for generalization beyond the training data we've put into them." Brian Fitzgerald, in the Summer 1998 issue of Bostonia, points out that the "neural networks enable the robots to teach themselves...predict impending impacts, and use the same patterns to suppress movements that would cause collisions." It seems to me that the same technology could be used to instigate movements that would *cause* collisions... Let's say, for instance, that AMadScientistFromEstevanNamedEarlier had developed a program which could use data from the power usage of oil-well pumping stations to predict approaching mechanical failure, and enable the owners to schedule maintenance, thus saving the major cost of down-time and mechanical failures which were costly due to breakdown affecting more than the original faulty part. Let's also say that a Fucking Idiot who swatted a fly on top of his exposed hard drive, with a newspaper, fucking it up, mechanically, also discovered that he could 'fix' the internal arms of the hard drive by writing a program that made the skinny little internal arms of the drive work their way, over and over again, toward the faulty area, from alternating sides of the bad spot. Let's further speculate that the Fucking Idiot speculated that any computer part that could be mechanically 'fixed' by a repetitive program could also be mechanically 'fucked' by a repetitive program, and that the SickFuck had friends who knew everything there is to know about the internal workings of computer hardware peripherals, mean-time between failures, and all manner of little-known facts about good and bad design techniques in a wide range of computer hardware fields. Lastly, let's speculate that some very BadMenAndWomen with BigGuns had stolen the SickFucker's computer, and his nephew's computer, and that he had access to the ThievingPricks' computer systems. Thus, if it came to pass that the SickFuck could supply his friends with the details of the computer hardware and peripherals used by the BadMenAndWomenWithBigGuns, then his friends could write programs which would put extra strain on the known weak points of the system, drastically lowering the mean-time between failures. If the SickFuck had already tested his friend's programs on $ 50.00 used computers he had purchased in Regina, Saskatchewan, then they would have already been able to tweak the programs into little SickFuck Digital Roe&WadeBots which would be able to perform mechanical abortions at any stage of DigitalLabor, thus being able to control the failure rate in imperceptible increments over a wide range of systems, so that, over the course of a year, it would cost the BadMenAndWomenWithBigGuns millions of dollars by the time they figured out that the SickFuck had his Richard shoved up their asshole. If the SickFuck's friends in LostAlamo were BrilliantSickFucks, they might even take it upon themselves to develop a program capable of keeping track of how the maintainers of various computer systems would deal with different problems (e.g. 'fixing' vs. 'replacing') and create their little BrilliantSickFuckPrograms to learn how to force the computer maintainers to 'replace' the hardware shortly after they had spent their time and resources 'fixing' the hardware. Lastly, if the BrilliantSickFucks were very grateful to the SickFuck for providing them with information which would enable them to write what one would think would be incredibly complex programs in the space of a few short hours, the BrillianSickFucks might provide the SickFuck with simple device-drivers which could use such unlikely hardware as printers and programmable keyboards to automatically renew backdoors into compromised systems in the event the backdoor was found and removed. [Debitor's Note: T. Arthur, after working with the first version of M$ Word which made use of macro's, realized the potential for using them for distributing Ribbed Trojan Horses, and Digital Simplex Viruses. T. Arthur, being a nice fellow, took the time and trouble to phone M$ Support, wait on the line for 342 hours, and inform them that there was a possible problem with their program being able to transmit RTH's and DSV's. The M$ UnSupportive RepresentativeOfTheM$AttitudeAtTheTime, was gracious enough to take time out of his busy schedule to launch into a long and acidic beration of T. Arthur as a neophyte computer idiot who was unaware that everyone in the industry *knew* that "you can't get a virus from opening a text file." When T. Arthur related this incident to a group of LostBoys&Girls who were solving all of the problems of the computer industry, for all of eternity, using pitchers of Margueritas at the Holiday Inn Bar in Albuquerque to keep their GreyMatterCPU's from overheating, more than one of those gathered pointed out that T. Arthur's brain was running on 12-Volts/DC, because most of them had figured out the potential for the 'Macro Virus' (to be 'discovered' years later), "before the program's shrink-wrap had hit the floor."] Doc Watson, on a grand summer day in Austin, Texas, walked into the Armadillo Beer Garden while I was playing a song he wrote, 'Tennessee Stud,' which has a classic guitar riff, which everyone imitates. Doc complimented me on my rendition of his tune, noting that he was impressed with my unique 'interpretation' of his famous riff, and that he found it refreshing to hear someone doing something other than the standard autobot version. Being the TruthMonger, I was forced to admit to him that I had first tried to 'rip off' his licks from the album, but, being a really crappy guitar player, I was forced to improvise. It's the story of my life... Although it is True (TM) that I am TheWorld'sForemostComputerExpert, I am pretty much only 'expert' in very bizarre areas of computer hardware and software technology. (In the 'regular' areas of technology, I am only 'expert' in the sense of availing myself of tools, such as those that are produced by Peter Norton, that allow one to fix the most complicated of computer problems by following the instructions on the screen, and hitting the <Return> button.) I had the good fortune to learn about computers from a gentleman who helped design the Adam motherboards, and to learn about how computers and softwear 'think' by working with retarded and otherwise disabled children for many years. Thus I realize the flaw in the widespread notion that certain computers or programs are 'intuitive.' No...they are fucking retarded, OK? Aside from neural networks, and other forms of artificial intelligence, computers and programs are only 'intuitive' in a situational-specific way. A database program designed to help you balance your books is quite simply programmed to anticipate such things as your desire to use integers and decimals, etc. It is not 'intuitive' if you try to use it to program your breakfast schedule. Neither is a database program designed to help you program your breakfast schedule likely to be 'intuitive' as to whether you might want to eat 1.3 eggs, as opposed to offering you a window which allows you to choose between poached, fried or scrambled. To confuse the issue of what I am getting at, here, I would like to point out that, although I am 'learned' in the C-Programming Language, having studied it in various systems of higher education, I can't write a single fucking line of code... Offer me a million dollars to properly write and compile the standard 'hello.c' program, and a week of work will result in my coming up, best case scenario, a program which echo's, "Nice try, ShitForBrains." et, give me a backup tape-drive which is 'Supported' by SCO Unix, but which doesn't actually work, for myself or for anyone else on the face of the earth, and I can go through a thousand lines of source code to find and fix the problem (three years ahead of the SCO engineers who are 'talking to' Colorado Systems engineers, who will 'fix' the problem exactly one week before the model becomes obsolete). Another example which doesn't really connect to any of the other things I am talking about here (unless you already know what I am talking about, which *I* don't), is the fact that I found a lot of the early password programs to be easily breakable merely by noting how long it took the program to return results after checking various values input. Similarly, I couldn't help but notice that accessing certain 'hacking' websites on the InterNet results in a 'loading-time' which is way out of sync with the amount of data, etc., being transferred. (Or that some of these websites seem to result in a lot of hard drive activity which can only be noticed by paying attention to the 'sound' of the hard drive, since the hard drive light doesn't seem to go on, at all. Hhmmm...) My point? Read the original Sun Operating System Manuals...the Writing Device Drivers manuals, in particular. ou will be left with the distinct impression that AbsoluteSecurity (TM) is impossible! et, if you peruse later versions of the manuals, right up to the current versions, you might notice that they no longer leave the reader with the impression that AbsoluteSecurity (TM) is VaporWare. What has changed? Nothing... While resurrecting my Opus SparCardII after years of disuse, I found that the little-bitty BatteryGremlins that reside within the CPU chips had passed away from old-age. Thus I had to become an EEPROM expert over the next few days, in order to learn how to tell it to do things like remember its own name, etc. ("What's your name, Bob? Starts with a 'B' and ends with a 'B'...you've got five seconds, Bob.") I'm dense/stupid/ignorant/clueless, added to which, I am usually loaded while working on my computers late at night. Thus, I make a lot of mistakes. And I find out some of the most amazing fucking things! (e.g. In the DOS 3.3 days, before most of you were born, my Drunken Fingers (TM) discovered that 'dir *.' would list directories and files without an extension, although this didn't seem to be documented anywhere. I was pretty impressed with myself until I discovered that if my Drunken Fingers accidentally added a certain other keystroke to this combination, then something happened which did irreplaceable damage to a certain version of BIOS. I was once again impressed with myself upon finding that, although most programs would no longer run on the computer, database programs 'smoked' at about ten times the speed they usually ran. Why? Don't know...don't care.) What I'm really-really getting at, here, is this: Except e become as a little, drunken child... The reason that it is the teens and pre-teens that are hacking into 'secure' government and corporate computers is that they can't afford to take the $ 5,000.00 computer classes/seminars that 'teach' them what can, and cannot, be done. The reason I can roam at will through Canadian Government 'secure' computer systems is that I am a sorry, fucking asshole, whose Drunken Fingers know more about computers than my Drunken Mind ever will. The reason that Echelon can monitor and analyze all of the electronic communications on the face of the earth, is that they know that the nature of BIOS, EEPROM, Device-Drivers, etc., is such that, given even the slightest amount of influence over standards and procedures in the design and implementation of these things, they will contain series of MasterKeys which can open a variety of BackDoors, no matter how complex and well-designed the features of hardware and software that overlay the basic computer technology and processes. The reason that I can use RCMP printers to do my bidding on thier computer systems is that I don't make them do things that they are not supposed to do, thereby creating SoreThumbs that stick out where they shouldn't and exhibit signs of dysfunctional pain and suffering when new programs or updates are added to the mix, but rather, I ask them to do things that they are *supposed* to do, but haven't been asked in the manner which I ask them, because those who designed them only wanted them to do silly, useless tasks, like print words on a sheet of paper. Read This Again: Professer Stephen Grossman, chief cognitator at Boston University's Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, has created Thing1 and Thing2--robots which can adapt to their environment by mastering approach and avoidance behavior. He states, "The networks we're building here learn from examples and exhibit some capability for generalization beyond the training data we've put into them." Brian Fitzgerald, in the Summer 1998 issue of Bostonia, points out that the "neural networks enable the robots to teach themselves...predict impending impacts, and use the same patterns to suppress movements that would cause collisions." Now Think About This: If I can find ways to make/enable computer hardware and software perform a wide variety of tasks that was not envisioned by those who designed them, honestly being merely a semi-computer-literate dweeb without the sense Dog gave a Goose, then what is to prevent people who are learned and competent in computer technology and processes from adapting the capability and functions of computer technology and processes to ends which go far beyond the simplistic techniques which they have been programmed/trained to apply to the tasks they undertake? More importantly, if, with my own limited knowledge and computer literacy/competency, I can find ways to route around the damage caused by the secrecy/censorship of information that others are using to cause me problems in my life, then what are the possibilities for those who are involved in the design and implementation of computer technologies and processes, to design and develop hardware and software that can be modified/circumvented/paralyzed/compromised if their use becomes usurped by the Controllers in order to provide Power&Control to an Elite Segment of Society? There is currently a thread on the CypherPunks Mailing List which is discussing the Perjury of RecognizedAuthority being treated differently than that of Jane and Joe Citizen. Perusing Perry Mezger's post, I was impressed with the thoughtfulness and insight that he displayed on the issue, and the quality of questions he raised in regard to ethics and public attitudes in this area. Nonetheless, if you ask Tim C. May to check the archives, I think he will find that I previously dealt with this issue in a simple and a succinct manner. I stated, quite simply, that what I found most disturbing was not that our elected political representatives and a wide variety of government employees, public, private and corporate figures were in the habit of lying, but that they no longer even bothered to tell GoodLies (TM). The bottom line is that it doesn't matter whether you've wrecked daddy's car, or you are cheating on your spouse, the cost of telling the Truth grows faster than the interest you owe on a loan from a guy named 'Big Al.' The longer that the citizenry avoids confronting THE LIE, in order to prevent rocking the boat, since "Things aren't really that bad." (ET!), then the larger the weight of the BadLies will become, and the more they will become an 'accepted' part of our everyday reality. The longer that those involved in computer design and implementation deliver products which reflect only what they are asked to produce to meet certain, narrow goals, then the greater will become the end-user's reliance on, and vulnerability to, those who have the money and the power to set standards and influence the directions and goals of future computer use. In effect, what I am saying, is that if those involved in the design and the implementation of computer hardware and software technology, standards and processes are not able to "learn from examples and exhibit some capability for generalization beyond the training data...put into them," as well as to "predict impending impacts, and use the same patterns to suppress movements that would cause collisions," then they might as well pledge allegience to Thing1 and Thing2, because they will do whatever the GreatBeast programs them to do, and it will be little comfort to those crushed underfoot to know that those who fed the GreatBeast at the expense of WeThePeople were "just following orders." "They wanted to come for the Jews, and I wasn't a Jew, so I wrote the program..." Surprisingly, most of the people I know who are most concerned about designing hardware and software that resembles a two-sided coin which can be turned against its Masters, if they become rabid and frothing at the mouth, work for high-security government and corporate agencies who go to great lengths to implement 'access enhancement features' in their products. The common consensus among them seems to be that the average designer and programmer can implement sane and effective 'enhancements' to their products with very little effort, simply by being consious of the myriad of opportunities, that are constantly present, to 'add' certain features which lend themselves to include user-friendly control of the product. As well, they recognize that those who actually *do* the programming are often much more aware of what design features they can include that will allow other programmers to produce add-ons or tie-ins which will allow the end-user to be a participant in their software's functionality, as opposed to riding a one-way train whose ultimate destination will be Government and Corporate Auschwitz. I currently have what might be considered Unauthorized Access to a variety of computer systems, which could theoretically result in my being subject to a few million years in prison. However, thanks to the wisdom and foresight of a few Computer Angels who design and program high-security government and corporate systems, I was able to gain access by doing nothing more than simply give myself the same 'network privileges' as held by those who chose to make my computer a part of their network, in order to read my files and put in place programs of their choosing. {Ownership of my computer bestows upon me the right to set my privileges to whatever level I desire, and if that allows me the same privileges throughout a computer network I was linked to with the full consent of those in charge of it, then I can hardly be faulted for assuming that I have authorization to use the resources and information that is available on 'our' network.} The bottom line, as far as I am concerned, is that the InterNet, by definition, is an InterActive Medium. Those who choose to participate in the InterActivity of the Medium must be prepared to encounter individuals who wish to exercise their right to participate in the exchange of resources and information, as opposed to being a passive recipient of whatever the other party, in their egoistical imaginings of superior position and authority, wish to bestow upon them. Anyone who wishes to join their computer to mine in order to check for dirt under my fingernails had best wash the shit off of their dick before they do so... It is understandable that those who design computer hardware and software would take pains to provide their employers with a product which empowers them. However, if they ignore, or pass upon, available opportunities to empower the end-users, clients and customers of their employers, then the public becomes, not *beneficiaries* of the designers efforts, but *victims* of their efforts. The rEvolution is NOW!

Robot Tears - SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!!
by Linda Reed--PCC West Campus CSC 17 Dec '03

Robot Tears - SPACE ALIENS HIDE M DRUGS!!! ___________________________________________ If you XOR digital copies of Brave New World, 1984, Terminator and Terminator 2, They Live, Mein Kamf and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, then you end up with copies of Part V, Part VI and Part VII of 'The True Story Of The InterNet': Part V - Tears Of A Robot Part VI - The Day The Screen Came Alive Part VII - Don't Crush That End-User, Hand Me The Pliars I have always been much more comfortable transmorgifying the effluvia excreted from my GreyMatter into ScienceLess Fiction than A Factual Treatise On A WorldWide Conspiracy To Promote The Belief In The Existence Of A WorldWide Conspiracy. As Trooper said, "We're here for a good time, not a long time, so have a good time, the sun doesn't shine every day." The reason that the general public is absolutely terrified of being confronted with the Truth (TM) and Reality (TM) is that they know that it is a Horrifying Beast capable of ripping their Perceived World View to shreds and destroying any hope they might have of attaining peace of mind and tranquillity of soul in this lifetime. What the average person doesn't realize, however, is that when you make the supreme effort to face the Truth, whatever it may be, you will find yourself laughing like a fucking banshee. our Body, Mind and Soul *will* be subjected to a violent, excruciating pain beyond human endurance, but your Spirit will laugh its ass off... When I first read about the InterNet being created by the military, in order for scientists, researchers, et al, to be able to freely exchange information in a secure environment, I recognized that they were doing so with the goal of being able to totally access the complete spectrum of educational and scientific progress and development. I took it as a given that their purpose in providing a communal forum for exchange of information was to have complete access to, and control over, that information. To me, this is as plain as night and day. I think it is ludicrous for supposedly intelligent individuals to have failed to recognized this fact until the presence of Echelon became public. Well, to be more precise, until Official Government Recognition of the reality of Echelon's wide- ranging presence became public. Of course, I had the advantage of having had the opportunity to become acquainted with the military's attitude toward, and plans for, the public and its individual citizens by finding myself at the forefront of their experimentation in monitoring and controlling the minds of the citizenry, as well as directing their thoughts, beliefs and attitudes according to their own desires and goals. My original insight into this arena of life came from a perspective of watching and listening, from the ceiling, the medical and scientific researchers who were below me, casually engaged in manipulating and modifying the physical tool which they seemed to believe held the secret to control of my mind. I gained additional insight into the aims of the Controllers by making a point of developing self-hypnosis tapes which I used to override the subconsious suggestions of Dr. Fogel, one of Dr. Hoffer's associates, before submitting to his hypnosis 'treatments.' If anyone finds some of the things I say a bit odd, then think about how 'odd' they would have sounded twenty-or-so years ago. I have recently read much of the InterNet literature on CIA and military mind-control experiments, etc., and found it quite humorous the lengths to which those providing information went to document and verify each and every instance of what they were describing, and the claims that they were making, yet still maintaining a subtle undercurrent of "No! Really! I wouldn't shit you! This stuff is *true*, I tell you! TRUE!!!" I find it equally humorous that so many of those who have obviously spent a great deal of time, effort and resources to uncover/discover the enormous extent of government research and experiments into mind- control somehow manage to keep from screaming "BullShit!" at the claims of those involved that they spend decades and millions of dollars in this area without making any progress, whatsoever, and that they just happened to have stopped all research and experimentation in mind-control the very Tuesday before a Congressional (or whatever) investigation decided it was not a good thing, and they shouldn't be doing it. And now, the IRS wants to be our best friend... When I taught for the Bartonian Metaphysical Society and the Institute of Applied Metaphysics, an agency of the Canadian government that was involved in PSI research at a university in Toronto used to plant 'spotters' in the classes, to target potential experimentation and research subjects. According to one of the spotters who had difficulty holding his liquor and his tongue at the same time, our Saskatoon group was considered 'untouchable' as a result of a visit by 'friends' of the organization that was funding their research. The evening after I read Robert Munroe's 'Journeys Out Of The Body,' I astral travelled. After reading a book on Lucid Dreaming, I did lucid dreaming. Upon reading Carlos Castenada's various works, I entered into many of the same experiences he wrote about. When my mother's persona/ soul went AWOL during her bout with cancer, I bought a book on Shamanism that told how to travel into the Underworld and retrieve a person's 'animal/animus' and place it back in their body, and I did so. This is my life...it is not a matter for belief/disbelief or debate. To me, my life and my capabilities are simply the way it is, and I don't consider them particularly extraordinary. To me, what is extraordinary is the fact that pedal-steel players can actually make wonderful music with those instruments. I tried like hell, and all I could make was noise. My only real purpose in telling you all of this is to impress upon you the fact that there is much more going on in the background of government, life, society, science, etc., than what is readily apparent, not only to the general public, but even to those who research secret government activity and projects from the outside, as well as many who work on them from the inside. Anyone the least bit familiar with the world of secret intelligence is aware that it is composed of concentric circles-within-circles, with each layer remaining mostly a mystery to the layers external to it. The CIA's involvement in mind-control research was merely the second inner layer, with the public/private research community being the outer layer. As mind-boggling and incredulous as the details of the CIA's involvement may seem, they are merely grunt-workers for inner layers of agencies and organizations who expand and develop the techniques and information that filters down into practical applications on both a macrocosmic and microcosmic level. To believe that the most essential research and development in military intelligence is being done by people that you can call or visit at the local CIA office is naieve, at best. The CIA, according to my understanding of the military personnel who were involved with the Saskatchewan Cabal of mind-research, are little more than heavy-handed amateurs whose chief asset is their willingness to get involved in projects which have the potential of blowing up in their faces and requiring complex damage control. It is my impression that the psychiatric butchery epitomized by Canada's Dr. Ewen Cameron is typical of operations that are delegated to the CIA, since the military prefers to experiment on their own personell and subjects with methods that are unlikely to destroy their minds, to no apparent purpose. Although the mind-wiping electroshock techniques used by Dr. Cameron were apparently used in my 'treatment,' it is my recollection that, rather than being wheeled into a room with some amateurish, inane, tape-loop used to 'reconstruct' my mind, there were a variety of psychological and medical professionals who spent a great deal of time involved in activity designed to restore/restructure what had previously existed, as well as creating a variety of new mental paridigms which were designed to be able to function in a fashion similar to the interlinkable modular structure of the C-Programming Language. To tell the truth, although the research and experimentation that I was subjected to was undoubtedly invasive and unethical, I could see it as being beneficial to the evolutionary human equation if it was done in an above-board manner, as opposed to being hidden in the private enclave of secret agencies, to be used with the goal of outside control of the minds and behavior of others, without their consent. Mind-control, as described in terms of the MKULTRA ET AL Projects, is actually only a single arm of secret-government efforts to monitor and control the citizenry. The ultimate goal of the research and experiments in this arena of human evolution is the combination of an interdisciplinary combination of methods, processes and techniques which will enable a globalization of control over humanity--affectionately known by wild-eyed conspiracy theorists as the New World Order. If I can restrain myself, for a few hours, from breaking into screaming fits of rage calling for the public execution of all members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, forthwith, I might just share with you some of the things that one learns when they read the file which was accidentally attached to an email from Kent Crispin, which contains a download of the complete hard drive of the top secret military facility at which he works. {Hey! Really! Do you think I would just make that up?}

We are an American social activist group called Las Americas, and we need your help. It is time to end the lies that everyone publishes about the Chiapas situation. We have to stop the war now! We are tired of not being believed: the truth needs your help. The truth has to be told. Our main purpose is to show what is really going on in Chiapas. We want the world to know how neglected the people in Chiapas are. In order for us to accomplish this mission, we need to provide tangible proof of all the events. We need pictures, sounds and video testimonies. We all have some kind of photographic equipment we don't use anymore. Right now, send us any type of new or old recording material: * Cameras * Videos * Tapes * Cassettes * Film * Typewriters * All kinds of recorders All of these materials will be distributed to the indigenous communities so that they will be able to provide proof of their living conditions. The collected information will make up a huge and raw testimonial, which will convince even the skeptics that the war in Chiapas must end. We are tired of lies being said about Chiapas. We need your support for this effort. Take your chances, don't waste this great opportunity to participate and make a difference. Send the materials to: LAS AMERICAS Attn. President Ronald Granados 12501 East Imperial Highway Norwalk, CA 90650 You may also remit your suggestions and comments to our president.

Thoughts on the demise of DES
by Trei, Peter 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Well, I'm a happy camper. Single DES is dead as a credible cipher. I feel *very* vindicated. I called for the hit, RSA bankrolled it, and the EFF pulled the trigger. DESChall and Distributed.net did severe damage, but the Deep Crack machine was the fatal blow. While the possiblity of bruting DES has been discussed at various times in and out of cpunks for years (for example, see Adam Back's message of 17 August 1995), my involvement started 22 July 1996, when I proposed a DES crack as a follow on to the previous autumn's RC4-40 attack: ------------------------------ >Subject: Re: Borders *are* transparent >Date: Mon, 22 Jul 1996 10:32:47 -6 [...] >Any one up for a distributed brute force attack on >single DES? My back-of-the-envelope calculations >and guesstimates put this on the hairy edge of >doability (the critical factor is how many >machines can be recruited - a non-trivial cash >prize would help). >Peter Trei >trei(a)process.com --------------------------- This got a flurry of responses, mostly positive, including some in which Matt Blaze announced his intention to build a hardware DES cracker. ----------- Later that day, I had run some more numbers: >Subject: Re: Brute Force DES >From: "Peter Trei" <trei(a)process.com> >Date: Mon, 22 Jul 1996 16:55:17 -6 >[...] >The fastest general purpose, freely available des >implementation I'm aware of is libdes. by Eric >Young. With this, I can do a set_key in 15.8 us, >and an ecb_encrypt in 95 us/block. That adds up to >about 9,000 keytests/sec (this is on a 90 MHz P5, >running NT). [...] --------------- This looked much too slow, and discussion trailed off. I was still interested, and grabbed some x386 assembler by Phil Karn, and worked on optimizing it for the Pentium. It worked well. A few months later: http://infinity.nus.edu.sg/cypherpunks/dir.96.09.26-96.10.02/msg00567.html >Subject: Can we kill single DES? > From: "Peter Trei" <trei(a)process.com> > Date: Tue, 1 Oct 1996 16:27:18 -6 >[...] >Unlike many cypherpunks, I actually write code >(:-). I took Phil Karn's DES386 as a starting >point, and modified it to run effiiciently on the >Pentium. The code I've written will run 14 round >DES (all that is required for a key test app) at >254,000 crypts/sec on a 90 MHz Pentium. >[...] I had managed a better than 25x speedup. My biggest innovation was a new method of producing key schedules, which when applied for key search purposes was a hundred times faster than the canonical method [Perry doubled the speed by suggesting the use of Gray codes.] Later that month, I wrote to Jim Bidzos at RSA, suggesting a DES challenge, using my prototype's speed to demonstrate feasibility. He was interested, and the Symmetric Key Challenges were born. Soon other programmers (notably Svend Mikkelsen in Dennmark) substantially improved on my speed - by better optimization, and by clever shortcuts which allowed earlier rejection of bad keys. A major innovation was use of Eli Biham's 'bitslice' algorithm, which tested large blocks of keys in parallel. The speed of his initial implementation was doubled by the work of Matthew Kwan in Australia and Andrew Meggs, et. al. at distributed.net. By the end of the latest challenge, the fastest software search engines had speeds (in clock cycles per test) well over 100x as fast as my original 10,000 cycle/key estimate. Here's one more quote from the archives: >From: "Peter Trei" <trei(a)process.com> >Date: Fri, 7 Jun 1996 12:55:24 -6 [...] >Prediction: By the millenium, we'll have made >single DES look about as silly as 40 bit RC4 is >today. Written well before I started to think about a DES crack, this, at least, has come true. Peter Trei ptrei(a)securitydynamics.com Disclaimer: This has nothing to do with my work at my employer.

PGP security?
by Ric V. Carvalho 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hello all, A friend and I have been going around about the security of PGP. I believe it to be unbreakable at this point in time. I also recall recently reading an article which stated that to break a PGP encrypted message, using today's technology, unlimited computer core availability, unlimited $$$, it would take the lifetime of 200 Suns. What is the security of PGP? How secure is it? Are there backdoors that you know of? Does the govt. possess any kind of keys capable of opening a PGP encrypted message? Thanks in advance for your time and attention. -Ric Below is a message I received today concerning what my friend believes about PGP. Does anyone know anything to substantiate this claim? *************************Message Separator******************************** Hi again ric, PGP stands for "Pretty Good Privacy" (you know that).. but it called "PRETTY GOOD" because it has several back doors for LEO and government agencies... I have a masters degree in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Software design... I think I know a little about computers also. While at WVU, we routinely broke PGP messages in Under 2 hours. The government can open them with their key as fast as you can open them with yours. Just a fact... since it aint bullet proof, Camoflage your messages. -War

pgp fingerprint
by Gustavo Henrique 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I've just started studying pgp and crypo and I have a doubt that maybe you can answer. Correct me if I'm wrong: the fingerprint was invented so you can check with the owner of the public key if his key is correct. Since the fingerprint is something small, you can check it over the phone or some other way. The question is: why people put their fingerprints on a mail signature ? Some one could have changed his public key and changed his message, so that fingerprint will match a wrong public key. Isn't it the same nonsense as putting the public key in an email message (without signing nor encrypting it) ?

PGP 5.0 AND 5.5.5/ RSA/DSS SECURITY
by Ric V. Carvalho 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I have a question. I have been using PGP since version 2. I recently picked up the shareware version of PGP 5.0/5.5.5 I have both. I was wondering how secure DSS is? Also, I was interested in knowing if the RSA encrytion method used in 5.0 or 5.5.5 is in anyway different from say version 2.6.3 Is it looser, more penetrable? How vulnerable are these versions compared to the older versions? Thanks in advacne for your time and cosideration.

TR3 - SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!!
by Linda Reed--PCC West Campus CSC 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Terminating Resistor III - SPACE ALIENS HIDE M DRUGS!!! ________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT NEWS FLASH!!! _______________________ I HAVE JUST LEARNED, FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE, THAT SECRET GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES THAT ARE FORBIDDEN TO / ILLEGAL FOR THE AVERAGE CITIZEN TO ENGAGE IN! OK, so it doesn't come as a major surprise to anyone. Nevertheless, our world-view tends to be limited to, and shaped by, the information that we are 'allowed' to access. Even if we are aware of the fact that the government is undoubtedly going full-steam ahead in areas such as cloning research and merger of artificial intelligence with artificial life forms, we don't give much thought to the implications and possible consequences of exotic, secret research and experimentation, because we don't have enough information about what is going on behind closed government doors to make any judgements. The information that we *do* get about out-of-control government actions and policies invariably comes after-the-fact, or at a time that we are *told* is after-the-fact. ("We stopped doing that years ago. Joe doesn't work here, anymore. We got rid of the bad apples, and now it's just us GoodGuys left...") A friend of mine did computer work for an Arizona neurologist who put electrodes and steel plates in the skulls of monkeys, rabbits, etc., in order to do brain-mapping (one of the major areas of mind-control research), in order to study Parkinson's Disease. The neurologist was approached by a research foundation that was very interested in giving him a grant to work with children, instead of with animals. This has become an acceptable area of experimentation (a quick study of those involved easily links them to a variety of intelligence agencies). Their offer was refused as a result of the format and structure of the proposal obviously being geared more toward providing information and results that had more to do with learning methods to control aberrant behavior than with benefitting the proposed child subjects. After his refusal, his current grant was canceled, and he was again made the offer, which he accepted. Dr. Ewen Cameron, the Canadian MKULTRA mind-butcherer, was instrumental in helping the CIA to see the benefit of taking an 'interdisciplinary' approach to mind-control. Although Dr. Cameron's basic method was to combine a wide variety of medical, biological, psychiatric, anthropological, et al, methods using his own limited knowledge, in your basic VoodooLeeches methodology, the CIA and military intelligence agencies began consolidating the various arenas of mind/human-conditioning research and experimentation by helping to sychronize the research of a wide body of educational and research professionals in divergent fields of expertise. As a result of directing the focus and evolution of the majority of scientific and psychological research in North America through control of the funding mechanisms and access to research publishing, the American intelligence community has managed to merge the research community into an integrated tool for delivering the information and results desired by the Controllers for their own grand designs. John Lily, a respected cutting-edge researcher told the intelligence community to "Fuck off!" when they approached him with an offer to fund his research on the condition that it become secret/classified. Lily suddenly found most doors in the scientific community being slammed in his face, not able to even getting a job sweeping-up after conferences that he previously had been begged to attend. (In essence, he quickly found that he couldn't even get elected ScientificDogCatcher.) Not to worry, there were researchers standing in line to take Lily's pioneering mind-mapping research to new heights, using experimentation techniques on human subjects that Lily had too much compassion and integrity to use on dolphins. The "Dont ask...don't tell..." military policy on homosexuality in the armed services has long been an unspoken understanding in the research community, where the players long ago learned that making an issue of the ethics of the researchers down the hall throwing niggers off the roof, to see it they really do have thick skulls, could have negative reprecussions on their own position and funding. Many researchers find themselves doing what they consider to be needed and pertinent research in their projects on their own time, after they have satisfied the wants and needs of those funding their project. Of course, if you ask most researchers about the veracity of what I have just claimed, you will meet with sincere denials, and perhaps even genuine laughter. However, a relative of mine who is engaged in providing seminars on effective philanthropic fund-raising makes no bones about the fact that the success of his seminars revolves around teaching people to sell their souls while remaining blissfully ignorant of the fact that they are doing so. ("If murdering a thousand children in my research saves the life of a single child...") While I am not in any way suggesting that the majority of researchers are NaziMonsters, having allowed themselves to be maneuvered into a position where their research is driven by the goals of those funding it, their research in 'turning on the gas' is irrevocably linked to research by loosely connected entities who are being funded to research 'putting them in the ovens.' Intelligence agencies' interdisciplinary approach to developing the ability to monitor and control the minds, beliefs, attitudes, actions and behavior of the citizenry (in the interests of National Security, of course), has resulted in what has been openly known by many as the New Manhattan Project. Just as the Nuclear/Atomic Manhattan Project was an all-out, top priority effort engaging the premiere players in a variety of scientific fields, the New Manhattan Project involves a consolidation of research and activity spanning such diverse arenas as mind-control, emotional-manipulation, behavioral conditioning, citizen surveillance-monitoring-classification, and even encryption. The research and experiments in Artificial Intelligence and Human Intelligence are intricately linked. Neural Network models and implementations are based on understanding and imitating human "operant conditioning, the form of learning in which animals and humans learn the effects of their actions," as Professor Stephen Grossberg states. The Artificial Intelligence approach of Neural Networks is based on the processing of symbolic information, as opposed to numerical data. The Controllers have mastered the art of 1984'ish manipulation of the public mind through media control and spin doctoring, now able to gather the citizens into an angry torch-carrying mob, chasing the U.S.ConstitutionMonster back to the castle to defend themselves against the NewImprovedFourHorsemenOfTheApocalypse. (Any Congressman who is caught dorking a teenage girl and cheating on his taxes has a fighting chance of surviving if he can convince the electorate he is 'tough on crime,' or whatever the current TenSecondSoundByteFadOfTheDay is.) The Controllers efforts to control access to information are centered around their need to control the EmotionalSymbolism by which they have learned to lead the public around by our noses. The grand Artificial Intelligence push to "develop principled theories of brain and behavior and incorporating them into machines," as Brian Fitzgerald writes in 'Bravo New World,' is really part-and-parcel of the Controllers' designs to guide the future development of the InterNet into a WorldWideStickyWeb wherein the Medium is capable of manipulating the user into the position of controlled stooge, rather than a participant, by being able to monitor, log and analyze the user's basic operant conditioning, via his or her responses, thus being able to provide the user with only those options which will lead them in the direction that is desired by the Controllers. (An example is the feature of allowing the user to 'customize' the interfaces they are interacting through, according to their personal interests, with the AutoBot then serving up generous helpings of pointers and information beneficial to the provider, instead of a genuine cross- section of what is actually available on the InterNet.) {Interest #1 - Anarchy: Today we are providing you with Newt Ginrich's essay, entitled "What Anarchy Means To Me." Interest #2 - SPACE ALIENS HIDE M DRUGS!!!

What they neglected to mention is that Military Intelligence has been put in charge of monitoring, analyzing and shaping the Brain... CNS (Cognitive Neural Systems) research and development has become a wholly owned subsiduary of the Air Force super laboratories, the Office of Naval Research, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), the National Science Foundation, and the rest of the Usual Suspects. ou remember DARPA, don't you--those wonderful folks who gave us the InterNet which routes all communications through military channels? ou remember the Office of Naval Research, don't you--those wonderful folks who developed products and techniques for monitoring all of the communications on the face of the earth? Fitzgerald notes, in 'Bostonia,' that "Graduates of CNS work in a plethora of fields, including psychology, neuroscience, telecommun- ications, software engineering, economics, finance...medicine...and, of course, robotics. Strip away the thin veneer of reliance on the research being conducted by RespectableInstitutions and what you have is MKULTRA cross-breeding with Artificial Intelligence to produce a DemonChild whose NeuralNetworks are a fusion of GrayMatter and a DigitalThisIsWhereouAreGoingToGoToday AutoBot. Julia Schickedanz, an MIT professor, remarks on the fact that the professors involved in CNS research and development "specialize in seemingly unrelated areas of research." Right...and the New World Order will result in the globalization of "seemingly unrelated areas" of the world... Grossberg, speaking of the 'interdisciplinary' approach to the study and implementation of Artificial Intelligence, says, "such an approach is absolutely necessary to theoretically investigate fundamental issues of mind and brain processes." I am certain that it is just a 'coincidence' <nod-nod> <wink-wink> that two champions of the 'interdisciplinary' approach to research in the understanding of how the mind works and how it can be manipulated, Dr. Ewen Cameron, Canadian mind-butcherer, and Professor Grossberg CyBorg Creator, are each a Rockerfeller GoldenChild. Grossberg apparently spent decades and millions of dollars discovering what he could have learned by forking over a sawbuck for a book by the GrandaddyOfInterActiveMediaUnderstanding, Marshal McCluhan, 'The Medium Is The Message,' as he informs us, belatedly, "What we perceive depends on how the nervous system processes messages." And those wonderful folks who provided us with an interactive medium which they are capable of monitoring and controlling, are now involved in a priority funding of research which will enable the medium to be able to process/provide messages which are intricately linked with the structure and functioning of our own nervous system. More importantly, the ability of the computer to monitor our habits and the most infinitesimal details of our personal lives, when combined with a neural network capable of learning and adapting to our thoughts, our desires and our habits, essentially has the capacity to transform itself into a Mythological Siren of the Deep, luring us to our destruction, regardless of whether or not we know it to be an Illusion. (If you think I am overstating my case, here, remind yourself how easy it is for Charlie CorporateMonger to get JoeSixPack to provide every detail of his life in order to get a SuperMarketValueCard that gets him a nickle off on a can of beans. If they had a record of your visits to and file accesses on the BigBreastedBlonde Web Site, they would have a Swedish Masseuse bring you the card to fill out, and end up with your] wallet, your car and your house, as well, and you'd be eating your beans out behind the dumpster.) In essence, Artificial Intelligence researchers are attempting to find ways to incorporate the ability to understand and incorporate human behavior and response mechanisms into programmed machines/environments, thus rendering them capable of fulfilling functions which humans normally require decades of experience and application to acquire competence in. During my last entry into the U.S. through the Vancouver Customs port, my sister was horrified to learn that the devices in each lane were visually and auditorily monitoring those who passed through. License plates are auto-scanned and run through the computer to flag people of interest to Border Authorities (and I suspect that visual recognition technology of humans is also being used/tested). The vehicle in front of us contained your typical middle-class American family, and was passed through with only perfunctory attention being given to them, yet the Customs Officer thumped on the top and side of their car before waving them to proceed, as if checking to make sure that they didn't have a few hundred kilos of heroin stashed away. My sister was puzzled as to why he did that, whereupon I explained that he was not interested in *their* reaction, but in *mine*, since I was next in line, the computer had flagged me, and someone inside was undoubtedly listening to see if I told her, "Are you sure you hid the dope?" Some of the Artificial Intelligence AutoBots of the future will no doubt be MultiMedia HumanResponse LieDetectors. Rather than measuring your pulse, breathing rate and electrical tension, they will measure variations in your Personally Categorized Basic Neural Network Profile. Just as gun ownership can be denied today on the basis of a history of mental problems or criminal activity, certain activities, rights, or access to information, in the future, will be based on your meeting guidelines/profiles as judged by your interactions with AutoBots that are designed to analyze and categorize your mind and behavior. Grossberg maintains, "All conscious states are resonant states. And resonance can join cognition to emotion in a unified conscious experience." The implication of this is that the Artificial Intelligence that is being developed to work in parallel with the human brain and the elements of human behavior will be capable of becoming a 'partner' in our thoughts, emotions, and consciousness, and thus be an integral part of that which influences the direction and processes of our mind, psyche and behavior. Take a moment to think about the full import of the technology which will shape our future being shaped and directed almost wholly by Military Intelligence agencies and their associates. Advertising psychology and MKULTRA mind-control research are barely poor-cousins to the Cognitive Neural Systems technology that is being prepared to not only monitor, analyze and categorize even the most minute areas of our mind, emotions, psyche and behavioral patterns, but also to have the capacity to adapt *their* behavior to our own personal psychological structure and, as in the case of Thing1 and Thing2, "predict" our "impending impacts" with the desires of the Controllers, and direct us toward "avoidance behaviors" which will "suppress movements that will cause collisions" with the goals and designs of the Controllers. It can't be long before the Trilateral Commission is replaced by the Trilateral CPU...
