saving the world from a cancerous monopoly

there is only one _sane_ course of action against M$: divestiture --before Gates becomes the Hydra. to make it short: at 90% of the OS market, and 95% of the current office software (w/p, spreadsheet, database, etc) market worldwide, M$ _is_ in a position of total market dominance. the real issue is not the 90% of the OS market, it is the 95% (expected to grow to 98% before 2000) of the office s/w. the office software, available _only_ on M$ platforms creates a self-perpetuating juggernaut: no other OS can even begin to make market penetraton without the key product (office s/w) --and people are not willing to learn a new application-- that's just human nature. it will take two technical factors to make M$ subject to market pressures and responsive to further competitive innovation (and this involves extensive ongoing regulation and oversight which I consider anathema): 1. M$' base operating system must be fully defined; eg- the API interface must be made available to all. if the API is not a moving target, emulators can be written enabling native WinTel s/w to run correctly on other platforms (unix variants, OS/2, beos, apple, etc). the increasing CPU "horsepower" makes this approach at least feasible. 2. M$ must be required to port it's major products to other operating systems; it is worth noting that freeBSD, for instance, will run native binaries from Linux and SCO variants which simplifies on set. as a corollary, M$ must be required to support some of the non-Intel hardware ports such as freeBSD or Linux on Alpha (almost 5 years ago, Alpha was at the performance level of the current Intel 400 Mhz). M$ does support Word and Explorer on Apple, but major features were not ported in both instances --this is not acceptable. I am not in favour of the government meddling in the design or integration of M$ products... but: the Sherman Act, passed in 1890 is designed to level the playing field, not regulate/administrate. the real issue of the act is that it acts _in the interest of society_ to curtail monopolistic and anti-competitive actions and excesses --M$ certainly qualifies for the remedies far more than John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil did in 1908. Bill Gates, through his _total_ dominance of the desktop, (with exceptiom of a few of the hardheaded/stubborn who refuse to run _any_ M$ products (author included)) is using his cash cow, swollen by gouging the consumer, to acquire _significant_ interests in industries which use computers: cable networks, cellular networks, satellite networks, etc. and related industries dependent on communications: news (MSNBC), television, productions, etc. this horizontal and vertical spread of M$ is even more dangerous. Bill Gates is quickly approaching critical mass --Bill Gates could literally bring the world to its knees-- and Gates is a notorious control freak: there is Bill's way, there is Bill's way, there is... sorry, there is no other way. unless the DOJ shows some spine, particularly in light of the appeals court ruling dumping the injunction _and_ the special master (which is far more critical than the public perceives, which is why M$ went after Lessig), the DOJ is going to be in and out of court with M$ until M$ literally buys the government or intimidates the DOJ out of the deal. the scenario of forcing M$ to accommodate other OSs and hardware platforms might be workable, but Gates will not only fight it, but it will be a constant additional legal burden to force M$ to make the services available in a timely manner; in other words, the government will end up establishing an agency the size of the FCC just to regulate M$ the "controlled" monopoly (as Sen. Hatch threatened). nothing in American law says we can not have a regulated monopoly if it serves the public interest --AT&T provided superb and universal service for decades (many of us would love to have that service today), but AT&T did _not_ innovate in a timely manner at the market demand. and telephones are rather low tech compared to computers which have been subject to Grove's Law for two decades. M$ has not been a creative company --it is a marketing and control machine which acquires technology, often by less than socially acceptable means, and integrates it into M$' market offerings. credit must be given to M$ for making the PC ubiquitous, but that value starts to wear very thin with M$' current market domination. from the perspective of serving the future interests of our society, the only effective option for the DOJ is to litigate for the divestiture of M$ into several operating companies --and to prevent Bill Gates from owning or controlling more than one division --much on the line of the AT&T divestiture. anything less will mean continuing litigation and further dominance of Gates as he uses his enormous cash reserves to buy control in additional markets. likewise, the orders must prohibit Gates from further market horizontal and vertical "octopussing". the Sherman Act also permits market damages (M$' 50-80% gross profit margin certainly qualifies as gouging) --which are then trebled; that would put a cramp on Bill's $50 _billion_ net worth and probably force even further divestiture of his controlling stock interests. Gates' personality needs to be considered as a factor as he must control, totally control. it is not enough to be first in a market, he must be the only player in the market. Gates' tactics have been deplorable: his minions go forth to companies and say: "...we dont know whether to buy you out, or force you out..." and if the company is purchased, it is purchased for much less than potential or fair market value. Gates does not buy just the leader, he buys outright, or controls, _all_ of the players in an emerging technology so there will be no competition to the direction chosen for inclusion in the M$ product line --and the choice may not be the best choice... the market is stifled. unfortunately, Bill Gates is a cancer on society. it is the old story: deal with it today, or deal with it later when Gates has become an even more cash bloated and arrogant monster which has devoured more of societies' rights and destroyed even more of the worlds' technical infrastructure. Bill Gates is not going to mellow with age; if anything, he will get more difficult. the world will be in less of a shock knocking the pins out from under Gates now rather than later. attila out.... __________________________________________________________________________ go not unto usenet for advice, for the inhabitants thereof will say: yes, and no, and maybe, and I don't know, and fuck-off. _________________________________________________________________ attila__ On Sun, 28 Jun 1998, Brian wrote: >> ...(Compared to Gates, Hannibal lacks vision...) >> >> I read a statistic yesterday (I think) that 90% >> of all PCs have Win95 installed, and Gates wants 90% of them to 'upgrade' >> to Win98.

The courts have said that they will not design computers. Since freezing an API is tantamount to computer design, this isn't going to happen any time soon. More generlly, API's only freeze when the system is dead. Windows has, for better or for worse, many years of life left in it. This means one way or the other, MS will extend Windows as it needs. For them, freezing Windows would be killing one of their cash cows. > 2. M$ must be required to port it's major products to > other operating systems; it is worth noting that > freeBSD, for instance, will run native binaries from > Linux and SCO variants which simplifies on set. This is also very difficult to implement. How do you choose what OS/s to port to? If MS can't expect to earn a profit from the port, then MS is dumping software, which is not legal. Why choose x86 UNIX's (less than 10 million users) Why not MVS (more than 20 million users)? Attila, I think you're jealous, and confused by MS's success. You don't understand why someone would choose Windows (NT or 98) when OS's are available that have a better core. And you desperatly want to change that. Some terrible truths... #1 Only MS, and Apple know how to make and OS that the mass market wants. Apple unfortunatly doesn't know how to make hardware that the mass market wants. #2 If people made decisions rationally, advertisements would consist of nothing but readings from Consumer Reports. #3 The typical computer user is getting less, not more intelligent. If an x86 unix is to gain mass market popularity, it must become vastly more usable. Most people don't know and don't care about the internals of the OS. They don't want to think about it. They just want their documents and games to be there when they click on them, and they want to surf the internet. Not that Windows is perfect for usability, but it's a hell of a lot better than UNIX. But enough of this... this is cypherpunks, not alt.bash.microsoft. Take a peek at my email address if you want to see my bias. ob cypher... I've got a validated C++ implementation of RC-6 email me if you'd like a copy of the source. Harv.

Dina Moe Hmmm... - SPACE ALIENS HIDE M DRUGS!!! ____________________________________________ >Return To Sender: ElvisImpersonatorChainsawMassacre(a)mccullagh.stihl >Return Of Server: MX%RodLaver(a)west.cscw.pima.edu >Date: Fri 13(*2) June 1998 ; 7:09 am/pm >Subject: Hmmmm... > >"So what prompted you to start writing those missives to cypherpunks?" > >Rectum McCullagh-Caulkin >(aka Tim C. May, Sir Stan Sequin, Joicho Ito-Dogs, No Body, > AnEnvelopeManufacturerToBeNamedLater, Nanny Anna Mess, etc.) On the advice of my lawyers: GoDoG & DoGoD, Attorneys At Law & Lawlessness, Alpha & Omego Building, Suite 16, Nymphomani aks, N 010101 I have decided to tell the Truth, the Whole Truth, and also a variety of Half-Truths, leaving it up to the responedent to decide what level of truth HeOrShe can deal with without becoming despondent, thus putting even more of a burden on the American R&D Department's booth at Juxtaposition '98 in their competition with the Japanese L&R Juxtaposition '98 Booth, widely rumored to have been behind the Abraham Lincoln assassination. In other words, your chances of getting a 'straight' answer are comparable to the lengthy discussions in regard to the 'dick' of a President whose name isn't even Richard, in the first place. In defense of my rudimentary rudeness in replying ridiculously to a perfectly reasonable and seemingly serious question, I must admit that my intentions to provide an equally serious response to the question above were thwarted by the intervention of a HigherPower- CapableOfSquaringTheShitOutOfJason, in a process providing pretty persuasive proof that the CranialConsipiracyCrapola I am about to provide for your non-racist, but nevertheless discriminating, mind, is nothing more nor less than as honest and direct anwer to your question as I am capable of giving, given the grandoise nature of the nature of the claim I am about to stake claim to, not as a Wooden Indian nor a Vampire, but simply one who is driven by Forces of Light and Darkness that are not only beyond my Ken to understand, but also beyond the Barbie Wired to the MeatSpace Manifestation of the magazine which was ultimately responsible for my ultimately sending my intimate informational infatuations with CypherPunks Issues, whether digital or organic, to the Disturbed Male LISP. In short, it is those depraved motherfuckers at Wired Magazine who must ultimately be held responsible for my continued spamming of a SingleInnocentCypherPunk (TCM-aka Bill Helm-RadiationMan III, Forever Hettinga, Politician Lefty Frissel, ChevyBlazer FloorMatt, and Peter SonOfTheSumOfOneAndTuTuBeNamedLater.) The True Story (TM) of why I originally subscribed to the CPUNX Cardinal & Ms. Spelling LISP has been confirmed by the Nine UnKnowing to be the result of a subconscious desire to destroy the Band of Mary Anarchists by forcing them to band together, forming a well-organized and tightly-knit political organization dedicated to eliminating me from both DigitalSpace and MeatSpace. In draw-string shorts, to yank the CPUNKS cotton chains and expose their private parts in a manner that would leave no doubt about the fact that the Magic Circle of WhiteLipstick around all of the 'members' provides postive proof of the accuracy of Dr. Dimitri Vulis, KOTM's contention that Nun of the CypherPunks were born female, and that they are not, in fact, Anarchists, but merely LostBoys from Lost Alamo who are alone in the world because they cannot accept the diagnosis of Dr. Stephan Goodman, who theorizes that they are "men who love men, every now and then," to whom the phrase, 'blow it out your ass', has more meaning than it does for most people. [Spin Editor: What the Author *meant* to say, is that, as a result of being the subject of Direct Electrical Shock Radio Experiments during his youth, he soon learned that, unless others in the room were gathered around the radio, the correct answer to the question, "Do you hear Voices?" is an emphatic "Nope! Not me...nosiree, Bob. Nope...not me!"] What the Spin Editor *meant* to say, is that my early exposure to the True Agenda (TM) of the MindPolice left little doubt in my mind (little of practically *anything*, actually) that one's career as a TruthMonger would allow them to keep their head longer with a 'CourtJester(a)dev.null' alias, than as "AnneBolyne(a)head.null', particularly if the name of the person saying "I'd just like to ask you a few questions." is OffWithSir Head, or who holds a position titled 'Head Doctor' in a non-medical surgical facility. To make a short story long, with a bend in the middle, Dog spoke to me in a Stream piped through the fillings in my teeth, and told me that there was one who would come before me, to prepare my way, who would be a 'voice lying in the wilderness', telling the masses, "I am a messenger for one who will come after me, who is (a) greater (bullshitter) than I, sent by Dog to sniff the rear parts of the front-men posing as wolves, in wolves clothing, who say 'What big teeth I have... the better to make you render unto Ceasar, that which you mistakenly thought was yours." Long before the Starr appeared over DC, I knew that the Virgin Birth of William Lewinski would never have taken place if there had not been no room for burning the double-negatives in the Ovulate Office which told the True Story (TM) of what had taken place in the Lincoln bedroom as a result of a sexual Jones that the King of the Juice could not satisfy, no matter how large a vein he punctured in women, or vice versa, with his dirty needle. Upon purchasing a copy of the Wired Magazine edition which had the Jasons of CypherSpace on the front cover, with an article accompanying it which I did not bother to read, instinctively knowing that their Goal was to XOR the Net, so that after Jesus Saves, Louis Freeh would not be able to put in the rebound, yanking a man's parole as a result of Space Alien FUD indicating he had participated in the VirtualNuclearBombing of pubic buildings eleven KILLometers from MongerItaVille. Knowing that, even though "Ignorance is no excuse." in the 'ayes' of a Rigged Justice System, it is better to remain silent than to speak up and remove all doubt as to one's guilt, I merely glanced through the copy of Wired sufficiently to confirm the Marshall Dillon theory that smoking guns doesn't kill people, the Message kills people, or, more accurately, that the Department of Justice people covering up the INSLAW affair killed those on the List of Adrian Messenger, and then put the magazine away in DeepThroatStorage until Dog, the only Horse I ever bet on (although I have shot a lot of Horse over the years, sometimes on the basketball court, sometimes in a seedy alley behind the GreyHound Computer Buss Station), gave me a No Smoking Gun sign, with the election of a Wise Man who rose from the dead three times, as LazerAss Long (cousin of Johnny Wadd), drinking cold HeinleinKin, playing the SexAPhone at $4.99/minute, running up the WhiteHouse phone bill and the Federal Deficit, and making such outstanding use of BlatantLies that his Pole rose in the Polls at a rate that astounded even Poles named Lewinski, leading me to realize that, had I, like Marlo Branded, the Rifleman on the grassy knoll, despite my reputation as a traitorous, lying coward, followed my instincts and run for President of the United States of America, "I could'a been a contend'a..." My point, if I may be so Bold (although without Italics, having never been to Sicily) to state it plainly (without extra cheese), is that Lucky Green is a fucking idiot... He is such an ignorant, Robotically Programmed Sheeple, incapable of free, independent thought, that the only possible way to accurately impress upon you his total devoidness (coming soon to a dictionary near you) of hope in ever truly understanding the concepts of True Freedom, Liberty and the Pursuit of Felony Happiness, can be illustrated only by sharing with you the "True Story (TM) of TruthMangler", Penguin Books, FrostBack Division. 'The True Story of the InterNet' when stripped of all of the grandoise, pretentious, mystical FUD surrounding its artificial dissemination across HyperSpace, can be summarized by quoting "All My Lies Are True", by Carroll. "All my lies are true. And everything I do, I really am." Believe it or not, Ripley, that's all there is... That's the whole fucking poem. In the end, that's all there really is to say. Upon receiving an email from AnInterViewerToBeNamedLater, who was named earlier, in the 'BumBoy III' chapter of Space Aliens Hide My Drugs (which, correctly, should also have single quotes around the title), I was quite prepared to write a short, simple response to the question, "So what prompted you to start writing those missives to cypherpunks?" As always, the fillings in my teeth convinced Reality to become a participant in an Intervention program designed to thwart my efforts to continue the heavy drug-use enabling me to be 'normal' and 'saved' me from sanity by using the TV program, '60 Minutes', to embody The Voice (TM) coming from the BurningBush, calling for a "New World Order", reminding me that the BurningBush in the bunker outside of Berlin was a clever ruse, later to become a 'play on words' in a Braun Shaver advertising campaign that referred to a 'close shave', to disguise the fact that it is the AdamAntartic that holds the key to FrostBack Musicians embedding hints in their music in regard to the Reptilian Nazis biding their time, emerging from Florida puddles to dine on the gonads of FrenchConnection Poodles, leading me to realize that I forgot to mention how my insanity illustrates Lucky Green's ignorance. (But, before I return to that subject, I should take the time to explain that this disjointed '60 Minutes' diatribe refers to the fact that my efforts at a 'direct reply' to D.M. Stihl's question was interrupted by a sychronicitious eruption from The Tube ("Watch me and I'll bleed you, 'Cause you eat the shit I feed you") during which Leslie Stahl (not to be confused with the chainsaw with a similar name), presented a piece called 'The Rumor Mill', in which she ignored the attempts of InterNet Magazine's Edwin Cantor (?) to explain that the Freedom Of The InterNet was a Healing Force capable of returning HumanKind to a Wholistic State wherein we use our minds to discriminate between FUD (Fear/Uncertainty/Disinformation), MUD (Mind/ Uniformity/Disinformation) and CRUD (Conscious Realists Using Discrimination), thereby forcing the InterNet User/ Consumer to actually Think (TM) before accepting any of the information that is pulled, prodded or pushed into the range of their perceptive attention... Hang on a second, I lost my train of thought... Oh, yeah! Anyway, Leslie Stahl, desperately attempting to maintain the illusion that MainStream Lies piped through the OfficialNewsStream are preferable to Non-Officially- Recognized-Lies on J. Orlin Grabbe's 'World's 50 Greatest Conspiracies' website, subliminally inserted the bent logic of the pricks in DC, using words such as Junk/Regulation/ OnLinePoliceMan(no mention of toilet plungers...go figure)/ BadInformation... Fuck completing that train of thought! 'BadInformation' implies that the Freedom To Choose To Believe BadInformation does not exist, and that NetiZens, like CitiZens, are all Sheeple who need the people from the government, who are here to help us, to step in and regulate/legislate which BadInformation will be magically transformed into Reality by blessing it with the OfficalSealOfApproval. Random Thought That MayOrMayNot Apply #27: Question: "Who was not happy to see the Prodigal Son return?" Answer: "The fatted calf." My point is this: "Penned cattle have been found to gain as much weight when fed a combination of drugs, shredded newspaper and animal excrement, as when fed whole grains." Therefore, it is not in the best interests of the ProfitMongers to feed us the Truth, and, CitiZen or NetiZen, it is in our own best interest, when we meet the Bubba on the road, to kill him.) [Idioter's Note: Good prosecutors, recognizing the limited attention span of the spawn of pawns of modern civilization, due to being force-fed ten-second sound-bytes, and hyphenated words designed to evoke emotive responses rather than logical thought processes, would have long ago begged the Court Of Public Opinion for a short recess, in order to allow the Readers/Jurors time to grab a bite to eat, suck down a cold beer or two, and engage in sexual fantasies about their fellow jurors. However, the Author plans to proceed, uninterrupted, even though HeOrShe risks once again letting the SAHMD manuscript fall into semi-coherent mad ramblings, since HeOrShe realizes that, if the Reader has not yet learned to order Pizza, Beer, and AMasseuseToBeMaimedLater before undertaking the burdensome task of reading the True Story manuscripts, then they are most likely a goddamn Republican, anyway, with little hope of ever truly understanding a missive meant to manipulate their mind toward a realistic, non-discriminatory political point of view which can only be understood by Democrats who are willing to sit in the back of the bus with niggers and spics, although they inevitably shit their pants and jump back on the bus if one of those thieving fucking darkies happens to get off at the same stop as they do.* *This racist interlude is a paid advertisement, sponsered by Democratic Friends of the Kluless Klux Klan. Anyway, I have forgotten where this aside was going, but I just remembered I was attempting to get back to explaining how my derision of Lucky Green is, in reality, a veiled reference to my own idiocy, so I will do that...] I was devestated when Lucky Green, wearing a Prozac T-Shirt, while I, on the other hand, had a pocket full of Prozac, told me, "I read 'The Xenix Chainsaw Massacre', but I didn't understand what it was about." I was devastated as a result of realizing that Lucky was nothing more nor less than a mindless, robotic result of the *new* generation of programmed, robotic Sheeple. I was devastated because Lucky was a reminder that, despite my great pretensions of being an anarchistic, free, individual, capable of independent thought, I was just as guilty of unthinking automatism, with the main difference between myself and Lucky being that the programming I had bought into had tailfins and cruise control, instead of point-and-click and multimedia capability. In effect, although I considered myself some exemplary example of the evolution of mankind (usually remembering to refer to 'humankind' to illustrate my UniSexual/NonRacist/Politically Correct rEvolutionAiryFairy development), I was actually a fraud--not a TruthMonger, but a JokeMonger. While allowing myself the luxury of consternation over Lucky Green being of a GenerationX which could not recognize the prophetic warnings contained in 'The Xenix Chainsaw Massacre', due to having been educated in an era where the 'BB/BB' tattoo on a child's forehead, indicating that one was a BumBoy owned by BigBrother (replacing childhood circumcision indicating that a child was owned by the GodOfMoses), I nonetheless comforted myself with the thought that *my* cowardly acceptance of 'the way things are', illustrated by using my sense of ironic humor to poke fun at things I knew to be insane, instead of taking a firm, serious stand that ultimately results in crucifixion, in Palestine, or to being barbequed, in Texas (see...there I go again), was somehow superior to the cowardice of Lucky's generation, which gives Non-Sexual LipService to freedom, privacy and anarchy, while preparing for an old-age where they will undoubtedly justify their lack of total committment to fighting the GreatEvil of their time by saying, "es, but when the Computer was Fuhrer, the trains ran on time...until the year 2000, of course." I, like Lucky and the rest of the CypherPunks, told myself that the problem was Dimitri, always trying to push Black Unicorn's envelope, and not accepting my excuse that I wasn't really a cocksucker, but merely accepting of the fact that BigBrother had a lot of mouths to feed... [I know that I've rambled on too long to really hold the attention of a generation that traded in twenty-minute guitar solos for a Pentium processor, and really don't have time to wait for me to get to the point of what I am trying to say (despite their refusal to admit that the only reason they need a Pentium processor, in the first place, is to speed up the downloading of the ads on the Anti-SPAM Anarchist WebPage they are accessing, not to mention the mountains of excess commas contained in the 'True Story' manuscripts...). However, I need to run to the Liquor Store, giving the soft-drug old farts on the CPUNKS list a chance to "smoke 'em if you got 'em," (<--correct punctuation, will wonders never cease?) and the young pissants on the CPUNX list a chance to throw on a New Crusty Nostrils CD, 'Ramblin', featuring 'Green, Green', (<--incorrect punctuation) little realizing that the USENET post referring to the album as the product of a CypherPunks Action Project first appeared on April 1st, and that Lucky wasn't even born when it was recorded. BAD NEWS!!! - I'll be back...]

Diana Moe Hmmm... - SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!!
by Linda Reed--PCC West Campus CSC 17 Dec '03

Return Of Beyond The Planet Of The Valley Of Diana Moe Hmmm... - SPACE ALIENS, ETC., ETC. ____________________________________________ No doubt there are a variety of self-impressed, elitist CypherPunks who have grown used to my weird capitalization of the word 'cypherpunks', as well as my excess use of commas, and incorrect punctuation, having come to recognize that these things are part of my personal 'writing style' (although few realize that, being too lazy to look up proper spelling, and too ignorant to understand the reasons behind 'correct' punctuation, I am merely cloaking my sloth and stupidity under a croak of eccentric Oriental genius). However, there are undoubtedly a few egoistical self-proclaimed geniuses on the CypherPunks Disturbed Male LISP who have noticed the 'Dina' spelling of the last chapter title being out-of-sync with the 'Diana' spelling of the current chapter title (see above), and mentally ridiuculed me as really being the sorry drunk I keep claiming to be, thinking that I am only dimly aware of the difference between my drunk&ignorant-but-honest typos and literary mistakes, and the typos and mistakes which I quickly recognize to have deep meaning, and are therefore inviolate proofs of my true inner genius, in need of no correction, even if I happen to spot the error. If you noticed the discrepancy mentioned above, and were indeed mentally degrading my literary talent, while considering yourself to be superior to me because of your ability to imitate a robotic computer spell-checking program, you would, in this case, be quite correct in your assumption, since it was really a meaninless mistake, but one I will not bother to rectify, since I am currently both lazy and drunk. However, you smart-ass sons-of-bitches, it would be a serious mistake to fail to realize that my failings in character in no way negate my obvious intellectual superiority over all of the pretentious fools who consider themselves part of an elite group of PseudoMathematicalGeniusAnarchists because of their participation in Legendary LevelWithTheGround InterNet Community MailingList Composed Of Subscribers Who Are Using 11% Of Their Potential BrainPower, and considering themselves to be 'above' the other InterNet Elitists who are using only the 'documented average' 10% of their potential brainpower, and who, in turn, consider themselves to be superior to the AOL'ers who believe that their IQ is somehow related to the speed of their computer's processor (NOT!!!). The short and simple answer to the question, ""So what prompted you to start writing those missives to cypherpunks?" is: "On a mailing list of elitist geniuses using only 11% of their potential brainpower, the person using 12% is King!" Thus I am able to toy with you silly fools, having little fear of someone who uses 13% of their brainpower subscribing to the CypherPunks list, and putting me in my place, since a person capable of using 13% of their brain would likely be above joining the list in the first place... Why I Send My Missives To The CypherPunks List #327: I truly recognize the past, current and future subscribers to InterNet forums/experiences such as the CypherPunks to be the only real hope for a world of VirtualReality to rise above and go beyond the vicious MeatSpaceRealityCycles which are evident throughout millennia of human history. Thus, I feel it incumbent upon myself, as your intellectual superior, to impress upon you what an ignorant, silly asshole I am... ou stupid fucks think I'm being silly, again, don't you? I'm fucking serious!!! While I truly consider myself to be the current epitome of human evolution to this point in time, I would, nonetheless, upon being recognized for my great wisdom and genius and declared King Of The World, issue a press statement advising everyone to kill themselves, since a world under my control would be a scary thing, indeed. As far as the world currently being under the control of murderers and thieves who seem to have a lot of trouble figuring out some of the more rudimentary things in life, such as pulling up their fly upon entering the Offal Office, I really prefer not to think about that, which I am sure can be understood by voters in Boston, Chicago, ad infinitum, who eventually figured out that the slogan, "Vote Early, Vote Often" was not really a part of the original Constitution, as their Ward Bosses had claimed. The Original Peter Principle: Civilization and Human Behavior provide hard evidence that Creatures From The Primordial Swamp who crawled out to become Middle Managers in the Gene Pool did so about a billion years ahead of schedule. The Original Clinton Inaugural Address: "Most of my time, energy and money was spent on women, booze, drugs and gambling--the rest I just wasted, eventually becoming Governor, and then President." The Original Commandment: "Buy a fucking Clue!" I guess that what I am really trying to say is, "As insane as it would be for you to vote for me as the new King Of The World / Ruler Of All That Exists / New World Order Dictator, etc., etc., it would be even more insane for you to *not* vote for me if I was running against the people currently in control of our governments and society. Why I Send My Missives To The CypherPunks List #18: My only hope of being understood when I say, "I may be a stupid fuck, but at least I'm not a stupid fuck." lies in preaching to an audience that has the ability to understand that ogi Berra's statement, "It's DejaVu all over again." was nothing more nor less than A DirectMessageFromGod, designed to serve as the Cole's Notes To Universal Human History From The Beginning Of Time, in a format that would allow us to write it on a slip of paper we could tuck into the elastic of our panties, in preparation for the FinalExam. True Initiates into the Mythical Circle of Eunuchs have long understood that my obsession with peeking up women's skirts is not the result of sexual depravity, but a highly spiritual exercise in recognizing the difference between the masses of Sheeple who truly benefit from the advice to wear clean undergarments, in case they get hit by a bus, and those whose unique, individual spark of life allows them to recognize that they can step beyond society's strict moral programming by not wearing any undergarments at all. Although I am currently up to my ass in drunken alligators, I am still capable of remembering that my original objective was to drain the Scotch... And The Way This Relates To Craptographics Is: What is encryption, if not the epitome of the Anarchy Of Meaning? David Byrne, Largely Suited to serve as the Talking Head who *could* be the originator of the Voice we hear, asking us, "Psycho Killer, Qu'est Que C'est?", if we actually owned a radio, understood that when Bob Dylan sang, "Johnny's in the basement, mixing up the medicine...", it was an oblique reference to Owsley developing a chemical technique to thwart the MindPolice by using LSD to encrypt one's thought processes. The Moody Blues, recognizing that the hippie movement arose in response to Freedom and Privacy being threatened by a GreyHound Restroom Public Key System that could be broken by anyone with a dime, warned us that Timothy Leary, sick, depraved pervert that he was, was 'outside, looking in', alerting us to the fact that 'Free Shit' was nothing more than a corporate advertising ploy by NewAge Gurus who wanted to save the cost of a dime while buggering us, by telling us we may have won 'Free Film For Life.' Phil Zimmerman, Hero Of The TellGovernmentToSitOnItAndRotate Revolution, provided us with the tools we needed to have a genuinely Free Shit in Pretty Good Privacy, enabling us to lock the door while we crapped out our pearls of wisdom, while the anal-retentive government agents on the other side of the restroom-stall door dropped their dime, upon finding out that the cost of peeking up the public's butt had risen exhorbantly, due to those fucking California Hippie Trouble Makers slipping 'acid' in their email. The point that I probably would have made much earlier in this chapter, were it not for the fact that I am a drunken, inconsiderate asshole who fails to realize that *some* people have better things to do than to waste their time wondering where the fuck I get all of these goddamn commas, is this: Anarchy is our only hope... Surely anyone who has been paying attention to life around them could not have failed to realize that if society elects some bum going through the dumpster, to look for lunch, to an official government position that designates him to be the person responsible for removing doggie-doo from the city streets (no salary, but all you can eat...), he soon declares that he needs more money and a larger staff to do his job properly, funds research indicating that dog owners are a threat to Family Values, Apple Pie and the American Flag, presses for Law&Order legislation adding Thirty-Five Dog ears to the sentence of any Monger or Mongrel who is found guilty of 'squatting' in commission of a poop, and calls for the censorship of 'The Doggie Of Anne Frank' because of its graphic descriptions of FIDO crapping in a secret room in the attic, to avoid discovery by the DoggiePoop Gestapo. If you think I'm being a WiseGuy, then think again, because, if memory serves me correctly, this was the lead headline of News Of The Weird last week, even though the original source for the article was on page 4,385 of the New ork Times. The first act of organized religion was to fuck up the Lord's Prayer. Anarchy is our only hope... The first act of organized government was to raise taxes so that they could give themselves a pay raise. Anarchy is our only hope... It is a knee-jerk reaction to bend over to pick up the soap when somebody drops it, but it doesn't matter *who* fucks you, it doesn't matter *how* they fuck you, *when* they fuck you, or *why* they fuck you...the bottom line is this: If you remain silent, ignoring the pain and indignity, listening to the still, small voice of the Tao, you hear the Voice of Eternity echoing from the birth of time to the death of the ten-thousand things, whispering what was shouted by a great ogi, upon realizing that the BigBang was actually a FistFucking KnuckleBall headed Hell Bent For Leather (a California company) toward the Great Void where the sun don't shine...you hear the Tao bend over and whisper, "It's DejaVu, all over again." Anarchy is our only hope... Dr. Seuss Explains Sex To Children During His Prostrate Check: After God created Adam, he took a bone out of Adam's side and created Eve. The first thing Adam did was give Eve another bone-from behind, as he wanted it to be a surprise. If two people exist on the face of the planet, then, as surely as night follows day, one of them is going to get fucked. Anarchy is our only hope... LIFE IN HELL Goes Country: If you can see two assholes on a horse, without lifting its tail, then it is a good bet that they are voting to steal your money and your freedom. Anarchy is our only hope... We live in a world where, in a country in which starving children are dying by the millions, the greatest threat to those who manage to survive a FamineInTheMidstOfPlenty is the ArmySurplusLandmine Company's 'Democracy' model, which is guanteed to blow the limbs off of terrorists and freedom- fighters, men, women and children, without discrimination as to race, creed or color, although the guarantee clearly states that it is not the responsibility of the manufacturer to see that it serves the purpose for which it was originally intended, according the color-glossy brochures distributed by retired armed services officers now making the BigBucks as DC corporate whores. "The Democracy Model Landmine" "Our most popular item, due to the billions of dollars in advertising given to its name through the use of taxpayer money being spent by unelected entities, both within and outside of government circles, was built and designed by highly qualified engineers and technicians to 'Save The Life Of A Single Child.' "As you can see from the pie-charts below, a computer simulation showed that a minimum distribution of a hundred units per square mile is sufficient to save the life of a single child, providing that the child is not so unfortunate as to accidentally step on a landmine." Anarchy is our only hope... [GOVERNMENT REQUIRED NOTIFICATION:] This chapter of 'Space Aliens Hide My Drugs'is a paid advertisement for the Bienfait Nutly News "Anarchy Is Our Only Hope' Christmas Special, available in boxes of individually-wrapped 1's and 0's (in quantities of 8, 16, 32, 64...) The perfect gift for grouchy old farts who still have the box of Pecans you sent them last Christmas, because they put their dentures in their shoes, and they can't find their godamn shoes, and when they asked for help in a post to the CypherPunks list, they got a hundred anonymous emails from assholes telling them to, "Check the archives."

PERSONAL NOTICE
by specialnews4u＠usa.net 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

HI. I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS INTRUSION , BUT YOU MAY THANK ME FOR THIS . COULD YOU USE AN EXTRA $ 25,000 NEXT WEEK ? THEN GIVE ME ONE MINUTE OF YOUR TIME... IT MIGHT BE WORTH A MILLION DOLLARS Dear Friend, My name is David Ross and I need YOU. Let me explain I reside in an island paradise . I entertain on a 75 ft. yacht . I travel the world by private lear jet . I drive 8 cars including two Ferraris, a Rolls Royce Corniche and a 1955 gull wing Mercedes worth over a million dollars. I party with supermodels , world famous celebrities and diplomats. Banks are constantly trying to lend me money at prime rates.. but I don't need them any more. However, it wasn't always like this. Until 1995 I was working for the telephone company . I drove a 1989 Chrysler LeBaron and had over $50,000 in revolving debt. It seemed that I would never get ahead and was doomed to be a loser . In my spare time I studied every money making system out there. In fact , I often ordered 10 new money making systems a month. I guess this is one of the main reasons I was so over extended on my credit cards. You could say that my single obsession was investigating profit systems . Then , one day , I was doing research on grants at the library. I accidentally discovered something that all the B.S.money making books never mentioned This simple discovery brought in: $1,876.89 FOR THREE HOURS WORK ! Over the next 5 weeks , I proved to myself that this method worked time after time....EVERY TIME ! Then , at the beginning of the next month, I opened my bank statement. My jaw dropped opened to discover that there was $ 265,832.91 IN MY CHECKING ACCOUNT ! I had discovered a secret program that virtually forced people to give me money ! After a period of 11 incredibly exciting months , I discovered that I had made $ 1,454,742.39 working about three hours per night from home. All without spending a dime on office rent or employees, and while keeping my current job..... which I soon quit after many years ( to hell with the pension and benefits ) . Then I made another exciting break through ! I thought, " WOW.... ANYBODY COULD DO THIS.. IF THEY ONLY KNEW HOW ! " This has lead me to an even faster and easier way to get richer : WORKING WITH PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU ! I am going to help a few others DO EXACTLY THE SAME THINGS I HAVE DONE ! AND PROFIT RIGHT ALONG WITH YOU FROM YOUR OWN POWERFUL RESULTS ! I've developed a comprehensive , easy to understand PRIVATE REPORT . A complete STEP BY STEP , FOOLPROOF BLUEPRINT FOR YOUR VERY OWN PERSONAL CASH MACHINE THE INSTANT CASH REPORT is just like having a legal printing press to MAKE SERIOUS MONEY ANYTIME YOU WANT ! SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS WORK FROM HOME , OR ANYWHERE ELSE YOU WANT TO BE. GUARANTEED Are you skeptical ? I understand. So was I ..at first. SO PLEASE ... DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. SEE FOR YOURSELF TEST IT OUT ABSOLUTELY RISK FREE ! In fact..you WILL be completely convinced that this system WILL make you at least 10,000 times what you paid for the report or I'll send you your money back.. NO QUESTIONS ASKED . EVEN ONE YEAR LATER . GUARANTEED . Frankly, I don't know why anybody would want to waste time .....but I am that confident. Take a full year to TEST THIS SYSTEM and if you're not 100 % SATISFIED during your one year NO RISK TRIAL... I' LL SIMPLY REFUND EVERY PENNY TO YOU. You just can't lose ! SHORT ON START UP CASH ? NOT A PROBLEM ! The administrative cost for personally registering your Instant Cash Report to you is just $ 49.95 And you can put this program to work IMMEDIATELY . Your profits should be rolling in WITHIN DAYS . REMEBER... IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU'VE NEVER HAD.. YOU MUST DO SOMETHING YOU'VE NEVER DONE.. AND LETS FACE IT...THE TIME IS NOW .

Obtain the kind of freedom and retirement that you deserve .. Please..forget social security. MAKE IT ALL NOW WORKING FROM HOME JUST A FEW HOURS PER DAY ! But I urge you to act now.. New regulations may soon eliminate this opportunity forever , THEREFORE...TO INSURE MAXIMUM RESULTS FOR MY PARTICIPANTS I AM LIMITING THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE INSTANT CASH REPORT TO THOSE WHO WILL USE IT WISELY AND ARE SERIOUS ABOUT ENDING THEIR FINACIAL CONCERNS .....FOR LIFE ! THIS OFFER WILL BE WITHDRAWN WITHOUT NOTICE. RESPOND TODAY SO NOW ..YOU DECIDE. WHICH DO YOU PREFER ... TO KEEP .WORKING HARD ? .. OR START WORKING SMART ! HERE'S HOW TO GET STARTED WORKING SMART > > Note: You must agree to remit 5 % of your gross revenues from Instant Cash to my company.

NSA and crypto algorithms
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

It is EASY to make mistakes when designing crypto algorithms. SECRECY works against NSA in that their work doesn't get proper evaluation by HOSTILE referees. Like http://www.jya.com/skipjack-bs2.htm NSA does have good experiences at fielding crypto devices. My suprise at gaining access to NSA crypto algorithms was how simple they were.

Judge Campos letter
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Tuesday 6/30/98 3:20 PM John Young Nice to talk to you. I see Payne v. NSA: Response to Motion to Remand FOIA June 30, 1998 at http://www.jya.com/whp063098.htm I opened judge Campos' letter at the fax. I handed it to the nice lady. I wrote your fax number on the envelope. Then went to Page One Two to look at used VW repair manuals. Page One Two specializes in used books and CDs. I am REALLY CURIOUS about what Campos wrote. Especially on a Tuesday. But not curious enough to read the letter now. Lawyers always plan to have their hate letters arrive on a weekend or, just before a vacation. Christmas is a lawyer favorite. I ordered a engine rebuild gasket set, rod and main bearings, engine mounts, rings, valve guides and springs, and SPLURGED by ordering an exhuast header this afternoon. My '82 rabbit is about guaranteed to fail emissions test this fall. I ordered today from J C Whitney because the price for the $99.95 header goes up $10 tomorrow. Perhaps headers will even FURTHER improve its exciting 20 second 0-60 performance? I will do the rebuilt in the fall. I phoned a member of Albuquerques underground economy last night. He will do the labor on the head for $60. Cash, of course. I must now ABSOLUTE CERTAINLY complete the digital FX IMMEDIATELY. To make some money. Litigation is more of a long term financial project. Like Morales and I have been working on this project for SIX YEARS. Hopefully this mess will be settled so that I can devote time to another of my specialties. Rebuilding Big Block Ford and VW water cooled engines. And writing MORE books too. Perhaps even write a law book. On pro se litigation. With Morales, of course. But this can be a point for settlement negotiation, of course. Later bill http://www.apcatalog.com/cgi-bin/AP?ISBN=0125475705&LOCATION=US&FORM=FORM2

Anarchy Is Our Only Hope... - SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!!

The Electronic Forgery Foundation, as a matter of policy, accepts no responsibility for digitally signed manuscripts which may actually be MainStream News Articles containing factually accurate and officially verifiable lies. Bienfait Nutly News "ANARCH IS OUR ONL HOPE" Christmas Special ***************** by King Author and the Dark&Stormy Knights of the Magic RoundTable [College Station Nudist Colony]IT WAS A STARK NAKED AND COLLEGE dormy night... [Prudential Annex, Alcatraz]JIM BELL STRUGGLED TO HOLD BACK THE small bead of sweat that was beginning to form on his brow as he feigned indifference while the Warden reviewed his application to form a prison swim team... [Oklahoma City]amADbOMBERtObEnAMEDlATER CREPT UNDER THE FENCE surrounding the former site of the Murrah Federal Building. As he placed the explosive charges at strategic points among the rubble, he couldn't shake the feeling that government spin- doctors were already preparing to issue a statement clarifying that BATF agents were absent from the site at the time of the explosion as a result of having moved to new offices, while the innocent children, air-lifted to the sight shortly before the tragic act of terrorism, were part of an educational tour that had been scheduled months previously. He shook off his fears, reminding himself that Louis Freeh, Janet Reno and Michael Fortier had planned everything down to the last detail... [Austin, Texas]THE BARMAID AT THE HEB CENTRAL MARKET CAFE WAS certain that she had seen all of those attending the alleged Austin CypherPunks Physical Meeting in a variety of local theatrical productions over the years. It didn't make sense. Why would someone hire a rag-tag group of actors to impersonate members of an anarchistic, crypto- privacy InterNet mailing list? And who was the strange character from the Bay Area who occassionally attended the meetings? She remembered seeing him at Stanford during the visit of the SexCriminal and his MainSqueeze to convince their daughter, Chelsea, that dating a man who was stalking her father with a Stihl chainsaw could have negative political reprecussions, and that she didn't need that fucking psycho's reassurances as to her sexuality, since daddy also thought she had a great ass, and was not just saying that because she was his daughter. Stanford wasn't the first time she had seen the Bay Area visitor to the CypherPunks meetings. She had also seen him leaving the Texas Book Depository in Dallas, shortly after... Anarchy is our only hope... Lone gunmen and unabombers are Dog's way of telling us, as we stare at a meaningless election ballot, that we could have had a V-8, pretending that we were drinking the blood of a single innocent child we had slaughtered in an act of random violence with an M-16, or in the bombing of TWA-800, or any one of a variety of mind-numbing reminders that we, as well as the cargo on our flight, are just numbers, that can be erased with the stroke of a pen, or a flash of light and a loud bang... Anarchy is our only hope... Face it, the System isn't working... We need to Democratize murder, once again putting it in the hands of the common people. People with wooden or stone clubs; people with Saturday Night Specials; people with knives in kitchen drawers, directly behind the freezer door that their fat, lazy spouse is staring into, wondering which gallon of ice-cream to eat first; people with access to both the drug-cabinet and the maternity ward, who realize that the solution to child-crime is stopping it at its very source... The process of natural selection, which decrees that only the strong AND lucky survive, has been derailed by social and government interference that leads to genocidal policies which mark our fellow humans for deletion on the basis of race, religious and/or ethnic background, political beliefs, ownership of land which has oil or mineral reserves underneath it, use and development of strong crypto, ad infinitum... It used to be that those with strong survival instincts, finding themselves short of funds, could beat up and/or murder a Jew, pulling out their gold fillings in order to make it to their next paycheck. Once government got involved, the average Joe and Jane couldn't hope to compete with the streamlined merger of thousands of ignorant thugs into a single giant bully. It was a step backward for the JesusKillers, as well, since they had a fighting chance against the more ignorant members of the light-skinned races, who didn't realize that it didn't really help for them to hide in dark alleys, as well as members of the dark-skinned races who couldn't resist smiling in the dark when a potential victim approached. Once ethnic discrimination was declared to be a function of government, there was no need for Official Thieves Thugs And Murderers to hide in dark alleys, since they could herd their victims into railway cattle-cars by use of official government brochures promoting Auschwitz as a Health Spa with state of the art shower systems guaranteeing not only hygenic cleansing, but also eugenic cleansing. Those who enquired as to the meaning of 'eugenic cleansing' were told that it would become clear upon their arrival... Anarchy is our only hope... A passage in a work by one of the true literary genius' of the InterNet (whose name I can't remember, but the work was titled, "InfoWar") pointed out a period during which violent crime was rapidly decreasing at the same time that public perception of the rate of violent crime was reaching an all-time high. A parallel poll, commissioned by the People Against Humanity division of the Synics Cociety, revealed that not a single person taking part in the other poll believed themself to be an ignorant, societally programmed moron, incapable of anything beyond sucking up whatever slop MainDream News Farces chose to throw into the public media troughs for consumption by those who believe that the High Cost Of Rational Thought is an unbearable burden that will leave them too poor to add the 24-Hour Drooling And Slobbering Channel to their cable package. Anthropologists specializing in the rise of civilized society have discovered that a solitary recluse living alone in the wild, will, upon drooling and slobbering on HimOrHerSelf, instinctively realize that, if they continue to do so, then the chance of their ever developing the ability to walk upright becomes radically diminished. At the same time, modern research indicates that if test subjects from current society are exposed to pictures of Michael Jordan drooling on his shoes, that manufacturers can add a hundred dollars to the price of their sneakers by adding artificial saliva-stains to them. Anarchy is our only hope... ************************************************************* WE ARE INTERRUPTING THIS PREVIOUSL SCHEDULED BROADCAST TO BEING OU AN IMPORTANT NEWS FLASH The Author, undoubtedly affected by solar flaring reflecting off of the early evening moon, suddenly realized why Leslie Stahl seemed so nervous during last night's '60 Minutes' piece on InterNet FUD, titled, 'The Rumor Mill.' It was not, as he originally suspected, Ms. Stahl psychically picking up on his efforts to peek up her skirt, and was, in fact, not the Scent of a Woman, but the Scent of Fear... Fear that Jane and Joe Sheeple, empowered by InterNet Search Engines capable of catering to their true desires, instead of attempting to mold their desires to fit the hidden agendas of Stahl's CBS controllers, might actually choose to access J. Orlin Grabbe's 'World's 50 Greatest Conspiracies' website, and compare his 'information' with the 'information' provided by '60 Minutes'. Fear that a generation of people who had grown up believing Walter Cronkite when he ended his news casts with "That's the way it is...", would suddenly begin wondering why Wally never told them that Jack Kennedy, their beloved President, was screwing the living shit out of Marilyn Monroe, ending his news cast by making a circle with the forefinger and thumb of his left hand, poking his right index finger back and forth through the circle, and saying, "That's the way it is..." Fear that Marilyn Manson, whining on Public Radio about 'The Rumor Mill' on the InterNet spreading 'lies' and 'disinformation' about HisOrHer tour, would be recognized by those paying attention as being strikingly similar to Ms. Stahl's whining on '60 Minutes' about the 'lies' and 'disinformation' being spread by people who had different beliefs about Reality and Truth than those that she held. Fear that vague hints about "Junk," "Regulation" and "Online Policemen" were not strong enough to truly get her point across, while indulging in violent screaming calling for hanging J. Orlin Grabbe by his hairy balls for disagreeing with her WorldView would only confirm viewer suspicions that she was in the same league, although on a different team, as Marilyn Manson, who believed that some kind of "censorship" was needed, to prevent the ChoirBoys at Ms. Stahl's church from spreading Christian Right lies about HisOrHer tour on the InterNet, while waiting their turn to insert their young, hard, throbbing cocks into a member of the congregation who was a regular correspondent on a major television news magazine show. Fear that the Author, currently working on the development of a forged Leslie Stahl's HomePage, had a 50-50 chance of correctly guessing whether or not she was wearing panties... ************************************************************** WE NOW RETURN OU TO THE REGULARL SCHEDULED BROADCAST ************************************************************** NO WE DONT... ************************************************************** Someone drinking Dirty Mothers wrote the stuff above, last night. Maybe it was me...maybe it wasn't...I woke up with a headache. Regardless, reading today's posts to the CypherPunks list, it soon became apparent that my clever ruse, pretending to be intellectually superior to the other list members, worked! The real purpose of my egoistical diatribe was to ferret out the list members not truly deserving of being on the same list as the rest of us, who are using 11% of our potential brainpower. I knew that the Pretenders to our elitist level of being, being insecure, insecure enough to avoid repeating repeating their words, would accuse *me* of being insecure. Sure enough, the Pretender was exposed, and now we *all* know that the Pretender on the list, whom we are all superior to, is... Nobody! In retrospect, we were fools not to realize it long ago. All of the signs were there... The self-effaceing alias, 'Nobody'. The inability to reflect a CypherPunks Consistent Net Persona. Always posting from different accounts: Juno, Replay, HugeCajones, CypherPunks, Dev.Null... The propensity for taking wildly varying stances on the same issue. Overcompensating for HisOrHer lack of self-worth by always demanding credit for HisOrHer posts, and never posting Anonymously... I was surprised that the rest of the list members never figured it out. I guess I'm smarter than the rest of you... ************************************************************** OK, *NOW* WE RETURN OU TO THE REGULARL SCHEDULED BROADCAST--*REALL*-I *MEAN* IT THIS TIME!!! ************************************************************** ACTUALL, I FORGOT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, SO I THINK I'LL JUST TR TO EXPLAIN A CONCEPT I WAS THINKING ABOUT ESTERDA, BUT NEGLECTED TO ADDRESS: ANARCH IS OUR ONL HOPE... ************************************************************** Uhhh... I hate to appear to be a fucking idiot, incapable of sustaining a logical train of thought, but I just reached the PointOfEnlightenment that comes around 4 a.m., when one is out of beer and beginning to sober up, and looks at the orange sitting on their desk and sees...an orange! Not the cosmically meaningful macrocosm/microcosm orange that seems to hold the key to the secrets of the universe when one is high on acid. Not the orange with a bit of green-stuff starting to show on its surface when you look at it at the end of another long, hard day at the Salt Mine, whereupon you chastise yourself for letting it go bad before eating it, because your tired, acheing bones remind you that you are living in a cold, hard world. No, it is the orange that both the pragmatist and the mystic see at 4 a.m., about an hour after the last beer is gone, and the liquor store doesn't open for another few hours. The *real* orange... Anyway, 'Anarchy Is Our Only Hope...' is one of those Deep Truths (TM) that are important to attempt to explain to the unenlightened, who quit doing acid in '72, and now have regular jobs. But, Fuck It (TM)! SPACE ALIENS HIDE M DRUGS!!! was always intended to be my autobiography, but somebody else started it (although I'm not complaining, because the FUD generated helped to cover my ass on the original TruthMonger SoftTarget Tour) and I think I have the right to be a little self-indulgent (like it's the first time...right!) and put off finishing the Bienfait Nutly News "ANARCH IS OUR ONL HOPE!" Chrismas Special for a day or so. So I think I'll sink into one of my undermedicated, ill- advised rants about my personal issues, history and problems which only remotely relate to the goals and purposes behind the creation of the CypherPunks list. Unless you have a lot of idle time on your hands, you might just want to go ahead and delete the next chapter of SAHMD, since it will undoubtedly be a semi-coherent, rambling diatribe with little relevance to your life and/or your interests. On the other hand, given my present state of mind, and the fact that I just found a warm beer in the back of my truck, the next chapter may well turn out to be one of those classic works of literature that can only be produced by someone who finds themself in the Desolate Place, an hour after they have finished the LastBeerInTheWholeWorld (like Job), and then is reborn, resurrected, refurbished by the discovery that, not only is there a God AND a Dog, but there is also another beer... Smoke 'em if you got 'em...

So says the Supreme Court several years ago. The all happened when Dukakis challenged George Bush's power to mobilize his National Guard during the Persian Gulf war. (operation Just 'Cuz). Dukakis was pissed (thinking he lived in the old US) and challenged the whole thing. He lost. He mistook the state militia for the National Guard. As far as the unconstitutionality of the Army doing anything, thats history -- all they have to do is invoke the Drug laws and the constitution is null and void. In any case, the National Guard is the Army (for all practical purposes). As far as arresting federal authorities goes, there aren't enough sherrifs lying around to stop even FBI agents, much less the National Guard. (state police included) Where were the sheriffs when the BATF broke assuaulted the Branch Davidian church? The answer is: helping them... > > Speaking of brain-washed.... > > They didn't fear democracy, they feared an authoritarian central government > without the states exercising their authority to stop it via the 10th.

Tryanny of the king and tyranny of the masses -- mobocracy. That is why the Senators were appointed by the states and not elected by the people. It was an effort to allow states to control their interests instead of everthing being determined by congress. This is known as a balance of power. jim
