Somebody, probably Vlad, forwarded this via Swiss Remailer. I normally try not to reply to Ignition-Points forwards here, but this one's relevant. "Access devices" often includes things like computer passwords as well as smartcards for building entry. So "Crack a password, lose your computer" would apply as well as "Crack 15+ passwords, get busted". I don't know if that was Senator Sleazy's intent with the bill, but it's an obvious application if not.

It appears the Cypherpunks have infiltrated the FBI and have installed a survailence camera on one of the agents investigating the Cypherpunks. ;-) Here's one of them FBI agents tryin' to track you guys down ;-) , check this out - http://www.cnbc.com/moreinfo/badday.mpeg 4.5 meg (but worth every byte) Stan 'Amazing!

Statement on Sixty Minutes by Pauline Hanson
by Global Web Builders 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Date: Sat, 6 Jun 1998 20:00:04 +1000 NEWS RELEASE 6/6/98 60 minutes' Fairytales "This Sunday, 60 Minutes is airing a segment devoted to connecting Pauline Hanson with individuals or groups in the United States. While we don't know who these people are, what is certain is that Pauline Hanson is not in contact politically or organisationally with anyone in the United States - the 60 Minutes story is a fairytale. After hearing of an advertisement for this Sunday's 60 minutes, David Oldfied contacted the programme to check its content. Despite making it clear there was absolutely no communication between Pauline Hanson, her advisers, or the organisation's heads and anyone in the United States, 60 minutes refused to even consider they had manufactured the story. They also refused to allow One Nation an opportunity to rebut their fairytale until the programme the following week. This is a nefariously timed lie. This is deceptive and dishonest journalism at its worst and all credible journalists, whatever their personal feelings, should be appalled at 60 minutes' approach. Regardless of what evidence 60 Minutes produce or what they may state, the whole story is a fairytale fabricated without the slightest basis of truth. There is no connection or communication between the United States and Pauline Hanson or One Nation. While we have no knowledge of such activities, it is possible some individual member may be in contact with people overseas but this, if it has happened, is a personal affair and unrelated to us as an organisation. It should also be understood that One Nation letterhead and other documents have been forged on a number of occasions. Further to this, people have falsely claimed to be party officials and candidates as well as one incident where a person in Western Australia claimed to be a close personal adviser to Pauline when in fact she had never even met him. We are not sure what 60 minutes will put to air, but having spoken to them twice, it is clear they will peddle the lie of links that simply do not exist. Perhaps they have cleverly manufactured a fairytale with the help of people either willing to perjure themselves or who are just not aware they are not really in contact with Pauline or One Nation, but whatever the case, their story is fiction in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree. 60 minute's refusal of an opportunity for us to face their fairytale on their programme this Sunday night, in itself, proves their intention to simply maliciously attack Pauline and One Nation by any means regardless of the total lack of truth. 60 minutes has no credibility and should be treated accordingly. Even their Internet story announcing their programme is filled with lies when factual evidence is clearly available by speaking to us, something they chose not to do because the truth would ruin their dishonest and despicable claims." "Pauline Hanson and One Nation is, and will always be, 100% Australian owned and 100% Australian influenced." Statement issued by request of Pauline Hanson MP.

Tigerteam Contract
by Martin Bishop 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A request for all tigerteam specialists: If any of you has access to a sample of a tigerteam contract (a company orders an attempt to break into their information system) - for any country - preferably European, I would very much appreciate you directing me to it (or sending it). I have assembled a team of various security specialists but really wouldn't like to step into some legal trap that may have been avoided. My primary concerns are: - attempt to "steal" information that the company considers confidential or classified (are they allowed to authorize such attempt at all and who gets sued if they can't but do it anyway) - possible hinderance or partial destruction of company's information system - software, data, functionality (e.g. when conducting highly violent attacks) - using forged identity (very handy when doing social engineering but what is the legal aspect of it?) - "attacking" company's employees (can a company authorize someone to do a background research on their employees, to hack into their home computers as well, to social engineer them out-of-work, to abduct and threaten them etc.?) - protecting from your own team members (trust nobody: a member of my team could eventually - under threat or some other pressure - insert a backdoor/trojan/virus etc. into the company's information system) Thank you in advance for your answers and have a nice day. Please respond to me directly or CC. Martin Bishop _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

PGP International Accused
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

There are accusations from Russia and France that PGP International and Network Associates are improperly and probably illegally refusing downloads of PGP to legitimate users. http://jya.com/pgpi-x-ru.htm http://jya.com/nai-x-fr.htm Phil Zimmermann and the companies have been asked by the plaintiffs to explain why public affirmations of open access are contradicted by illegal restrictions. Could this be due to pressure from US agencies or legal counsel to comply with covert directives of the nations to restrict access or pay the price of being denied markets? Maybe this is the way the Stewart Baker policy of encryption duplicity is being spread from NSA to the marketeers: Public assurances of concern and covert arrangements with authority to assure perpetuation of national security lockdown.

President's Export Council advisors consider Encryption Policy
by John Gilmore 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

[Largely bureaucratic, but there may be some interesting nuggets. This is an advisory group to watch over exports in general, with a subcommittee that is chartered to watch over encryption issues. --gnu] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PRESIDENT'S EXPORT COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENCRYPTION APRIL 23, 1998 SUMMARY OF OPEN SESSION The open session of the President's Export Council Subcommittee on Encryption (PECSENC) was called to order at 8:30 a.m. Mr. Adorjan noted the Committee's mandate and described the framework and agenda of the meeting. He then described the proposed focus of the Subcommittee working groups on U.S. regulation and legislation, international, and technology. He emphasized that the objective would be for each working group to address the many subjects related to encryption export policy from the perspective of the primary topic. He noted that as the working groups made progress on issues, they would bring recommendations for decision to the entire Subcommittee. He added that each working group would issue individual reports or recommendations rather than waiting for an integrated report of all three working groups. He again noted his hope that the work of the three groups be integrated further on in the process. He commented that there had been discussion of a fourth group focused on law enforcement, but concluded that it would be more valuable to integrate law enforcement issues into the work of the three groups because of its impact on these areas. He then described the proposed list of working group participants and possible chairs, noting that his goal was to get a balanced representation of members within each group. He said that during the afternoon breakout sessions, he would like each working group to reach a set of decisions on the scope and approach of its work plan, and the timetable for completion. Mr. Adorjan then discussed how the PECSENC, as a Subcommittee of the President's Export Council, would communicate any formal activity to the Administration, noting that the process used by the PEC Subcommittee on Export Administration (PECSEA) worked well. He described this process, and explained that any proposals to send reports or letters to the Administration were submitted by the Subcommittee Chair to the PEC Chair for distribution to Committee members, with the PEC staff coordinating this effort. Mr. Adorjan then commented on Mr. Stewart Baker's e-mail recommendation to submit a letter urging the Administration to move forward on the financial institutions regulation which had been pending. He agreed with Mr. Baker's assessment that the Subcommittee should focus not only on long-term issues, but also intervene in short-term issues. Mr. Adorjan added that issuing a letter to the Administration with support of PEC and Subcommittee members was an effective means of bringing a topic to the forefront. He then suggested that the working groups address such time sensitive issues, as appropriate, and formulate recommendations for circulation throughout the entire Subcommittee. Mr. Adorjan then asked for any comments with regard to the working group activities. As there were none, he turned to the issue of membership, noting that the PECSENC had 23 members with approximately 30 total members planned. He added that at the previous meeting, members had discussed the importance of having a cryptographer and insurance industry representative as members. He assured members that the department was pursuing these recommendations. At the request of Subcommittee members, Under Secretary Reinsch discussed Secretary Daley's recent remarks to a group of information technology associations regarding the release of the Commerce Department report titled "The Emerging Digital Economy." Mr. Reinsch noted that while the report focused on electronic commerce, the Secretary also took the opportunity to comment on the encryption debate. He emphasized that the Secretary supported the President's policy to balance national security, privacy, and commercial interests, but believed that implementation of the policy had not been as successful as it should be. He added that if it could not be implemented successfully, the victims would be the law enforcement community and U.S. business, as foreign products would become more dominant. With respect to the ability of the United States to impact the activities of foreign countries on encryption, Mr. Reinsch noted that each country that confronted the issue had to work out the debate in its own way. Responding to Mr. Lynn McNulty's request for views on the Economic Strategy Institute's report entitled "Finding the Key, Reconciling National and Economic Security Interests in Cryptography Policy", Mr. Reinsch noted that while the report did not offer alternatives, it demonstrated that balancing the competing interests in the debate was difficult. Mr. Adorjan then introduced the first presenter in the Justice Department's threat assessment briefing, Mr. Charles Barry Smith, Supervisory Special Agent, Office of Public and Congressional Affairs at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Agent Smith began by stating that law enforcement was supportive of strong encryption to protect privacy, but that it would be adversely impacted by commercially available non-recovery encryption products. He discussed the legal issues related to wiretapping, describing it as a technique of last resort done under strict judicial procedures. He then described the adverse impact of non-recovery encryption on law enforcement's ability to perform search and seizure of criminally related electronically stored data. He provided case examples where electronic surveillance had been used successfully and described high-profile cases where encryption played a role. In response to Raymond Humphrey's question as to whether or not criminals would use key recovery products, Agent Smith said that past experience showed that criminals tended to use what was generally available, citing the use of cellular phones as an example. Ambassador Katz raised the issue of whether it was too late to reverse the impact of the general availability of non-key recovery encryption. Agent Smith responded that at this point encryption was just an added feature, but would soon become integrated into products and user-friendly, resulting in increased use. In response to Ms. Simons' question of the issue of domestic controls, Agent Smith noted that law enforcement was in fact concerned about the proliferation of non-recovery products within the United States, as well as the impact of imports of such products. Agent Smith emphasized that law enforcement did not advocate that the government be the holder of the information or key, but that it have access to information pursuant to lawful authority without having to go to the individual who may be engaged in the illegal activity. Adorjan then introduced the second Justice Department speaker, Mr. Scott Charney, Chief of the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section in the Criminal Division of the Justice Department. Mr. Charney began by commenting that his office was a large proponent of using cryptography to protect systems for both authentication and privacy and commerce purposes based on its experience with hacker cases. He noted that if information was encrypted, it was not as much of a concern if hackers gained access to it. He said that the question to ask was whether the public wanted the kind of infrastructure that helped criminals protect themselves because products were unbreakable and law enforcement had no access to data, or the kind of infrastructure where the public got the benefits of robust cryptography but where it did more to preserve public safety. Mr. Douglas McGowan asked about the method of controlling keys for individual users of key recovery encryption outside of the corporate environment. Mr. Charney responded that there were many ingenious ways to implement the technology which allow people to retain control to information and keys while providing for government access with the necessary authority. He added that there were ways to implement key recovery that offered benefits for the consumer and public safety, and used the example of "self-wrapping" encryption. Mr. Donald Goldstein noted that there was evidence that the public was relatively trusting and accepting of key management and recovery techniques, citing the example of ATM card usage. He cautioned that the network might become unreliable if a vulnerability was introduced which could result in the public not trusting the system anymore. Mr. Chaney responded that this vulnerability was far less than what existed in today's plaintext world and that an expectation of zero risk on networks was not realistic. He added that there needed to be a balance of benefits and risks and that it was difficult to quantify risks to privacy versus public safety. There was also a general discussion with Messrs. Smith and Charney on related issues, including the concept of a "Net Center", the policies of other countries, imports of non-recovery encryption, the difficulty in designing different products in different markets, the possibility of a single law enforcement standard, economic intelligence and espionage, including losses to the economy if robust encryption was not available, the need for real time access to encrypted communications, and the ability of law enforcement to solve crimes in the future if constrained by non key-recovery encryption products. Mr. Anthony Pentino of the National Security Agency suggested that law enforcement might find a better way to communicate its position beyond the congressional level to the general public at large to counter what appeared to be an exaggeration of privacy concerns fostered by its detractors. Ms. Simons then asked that in the future, the Subcommittee members have the opportunity to submit questions to speakers. Mr Adorjan suggested that these questions be conveyed through the working groups. Mr. Linton Wells from the Department of Defense commented that Deputy Secretary of Defense John Hamre recently spoke to NATO allies in Brussels regarding the importance of each country developing national solutions on encryption. He noted that Hamre's point was that encryption needed to be regarded not just from commerce and law enforcement standpoint, but as a national security issue as well. As NATO moved from military dedicated command and control to public networks, strong identification, authentication, and interoperability were crucial. He also noted that with respect to the Defense Department engaging in electronic commerce, key recovery encryption would be necessary from an internal control standpoint. Mr. Adorjan agreed that this issue was not unique to the Defense Department, but corporations as well. Turning to the briefing foreign activities, Mr. Adorjan introduced Ms. Michelle O'Neill, Executive Director to Ambassador Aaron and Mr. James Lewis, Director of the Office of Strategic Trade and Foreign Policy Controls. Ms. O'Neill began by explaining that Ambassador Aaron, who was unable to attend the meeting, had been appointed as Special Envoy for Cryptography in November 1996. The goal of his discussions with other countries was international consensus on the development of key management and key recovery architectures that would foster robust, dependable security for global information infrastructure while protecting public safety and national security. She said that two key issues were the need for harmonized export control policies and the development compatible infrastructures, as it was clear that no widely used encryption system or any successful national policy would be possible without international cooperation. She also noted that while governments must provide appropriate policy framework, the task of building this infrastructure would lie with the private sector. She said that through Ambassador Aaron's discussions, they had learned that while most governments were behind the United States in development of encryption policies, each shared the same concerns as the United States in trying to strike the right balance. Mr. Lewis' discussion focused on multilateral controls on encryption exports. He began by noting that a number of countries controlled the export of encryption, but that the task was to modernize encryption export controls to reflect today's environment and agree to the implementation of common policies. He added that most governments had common concerns about role of encryption in society. He noted that the U.S. objectives with respect to encryption policy were law enforcement access, use of recoverable encryption, and promotion of electronic commerce. He then explained the history and structure of Wassenaar Arrangement and outlined the issues that the forum was considering with respect to encryption, including moving to a positive control list, consideration of the treatment of commercial encryption products given widespread commercial use, treatment of software and intangible technology (phone conversations, faxes, Internet transmissions), decontrol levels, and transparency in reporting. He said that the United States had raised encryption as an issue for discussion at the last Wassenaar Arrangement plenary in December 1997 and asked countries to adopt similar policies as the United States. He indicated that given the scope of the issues under consideration, he was not sure that resolution would happen anytime soon. He added that Ambassador Aaron's group was finding that other countries were moving slowly in the U.S. direction and had more sympathy for the U.S. position than it would appear. There was a general discussion of the issue of mass market encryption software, the treatment of intangible technology and the need to develop a common approach on encryption. Following the lunch break and the meeting of the non-public working group sessions, Chairman Adorjan reconvened the Subcommittee at 3:00 p.m. He asked each group to give a report on its discussions and began with Mr. Gant Redmon and the working group on technology. Mr. Redmon began by noting that the issue of interoperability was a key part of the group's discussion and said that building key recovery was not an impossible project (with respect to stored data). He said that from a technological standpoint, interoperability could cause a great deal of difficulty in terms of those products that have key recovery and those that do not. He also noted the strong domestic impact of export issues and other pressures to create encryption products a certain way. With respect to mass market software, he said that the working group generally agreed that 56 bit encryption products were the de facto standard. Mr. Adorjan then turned to Ambassador Katz for a briefing on the international working group discussion. Katz noted that the first task they agreed to focus on was developing an understanding of the state of current encryption policies, including foreign availability and policies of other governments. He said that the working group would seek briefings from government and the private sector and perhaps survey suppliers and users. He indicated that the group had identified another issue: whether export control policy is the most effective instrument to meet broader objectives of law enforcement, national security, and privacy. He finished by noting that the working group planned on completing its information gathering prior to the September meeting and would then work on policy recommendations. Mr. Adorjan then turned to the Regulatory and Legislative working group. Mr. Richard Barth began by noting that the working group had considered the letter drafted by Mr. Baker and supported it with minor edits. He added that they felt that the issue of raising the decontrol level to 56 bit encryption products could be included as a second point. He then noted that the group had agreed on a set of operating principles for themselves and perhaps for the use of the entire Subcommittee. These included the objective of balancing the interests of law enforcement, privacy and national, seeking this balance via market driven forces and, where necessary, taking a legislative approach. He concluded with a request for a panel briefing on the legislative environment and a briefing on the export control requirements on encryption. Adorjan agreed that briefings on three issues would be useful, specifically briefings on the status of legislative issues, export policies and administration, and international threat briefing by the National Security Agency. With respect to these briefings, he would ask the presenters to provide topical outlines in advance of the briefings. Mr. Adorjan said he looked forward to the working groups developing a defined scope of work by the next meeting, and suggested that they interact by e-mail. He added that the working groups did not need to get consensus, but that the long term objective was to formulate a set of recommendations. Finally, he noted that he and Under Secretary Reinsch would invite Secretary Daley to participate at the June 22 meeting. Mr. Adorjan asked if there were other issues to be discussed. As there were none, he adjourned the session at 3:35 p.m.

TSCM-L Technical Security List

TSCM-L Technical Security List Monday, June 8, 1998 Volume 1998 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Postings: TSCM-L(a)tscm.com Unsubscribe: unsubTSCM-L(a)tscm.com Subscribe: subTSCM-L(a)tscm.com Admin: jmatk(a)tscm.com This material will only be sent to you upon your direct request, either by your email request, or by signing up via our web page. TSCM-L is published by Granite Island Group, and is written by James M. Atkinson. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A telephone eavesdropping system was recently encountered which is being sold by a company in Pomezia, Italy. The system is for use on AT&T System 25, 75, and 85 PBX systems (other versions are available for 1030, 3070, Merlin, and Partner systems). The first element of the system consists of a station card which has been built from scratch and appears almost identical to the original cards built by AT&T. There are no modifications on the card, and all components appear legitimate The only visual difference between the cards is several additional integrated circuits, and discrete components. Additionally, on the silkscreen side of the card is a small logo consisting of an upper case letter E followed by a 7xx type of number (such as E-728). The logo will appear diagonally across the card from the serial number. Each station card will support 8 digital phones, and one outgoing circuit. The second element of the system is the printed circuit board that goes into the actual telephone. Much like the station card the printed circuit board appears original but closer inspection will reveal a small number of extra components and PCB traces which go to the four pair position. Suspect telephones will present an anomaly on the power and/or 4th pair. The signal is a digital data signal (usually 160 Kbps). Vector signal analysis will indicate a QAM/BPQSK cats-eye (a digital audio signal via a seven stage parasitic polynomial 1+x6+x7 algorithm). Waveform is a serial data stream, bipolar signal at roughly 700mV (680-715 mV depending on instrument). Power drain is fairly high (average of 136% over normal), but station card will not indicate an over-current condition or station error. Serial data stream is constant, and only affected by application of power. Signal stops if power is removed for more than 15 milliseconds. Disconnection of handset does not effect signal. Signal is present in both on-hook and off-hook conditions. The third element of the system is a small modification to the PBX back plane which consists of two small wires which are tacked into place between the station card and the line card. This bridging circuit allows a T-Carrier signal to pass from the station card to an unused cable pair for an outgoing signal path (usually the 25th pair). This modification will appear to be a legitimate factory modification to the backplane. The fourth element of the system is the transmission path back to the listening post (which will appear to be a T-1 signal, but will only use one cable pair). A RF transmitter could be used, however; such an emission would increase the possibility of the system being detected if used inside or near the target facility. A RF transmitter could be used once the signal is well outside the facility. The transmission path will normally consist of a T-Carrier signal that can be traced to a facility demarcation point and then to an external cable pair. The signal will typically terminate at (or just prior to) an off-site SLC box. At this point the T-Carrier signal will be bridged back to a listening post either by hardwiring or an RF transmitter (though the use of a bridging capacitor to isolate the DC components of the circuit). Faked power outages in the PBX or server room will typically be used to cover the installation activities. The installation consists of swapping the station card, and then installing the jumper wires on the back plane. While the power is still off the special printed circuit boards are installed into the target phones. Optionally, the telephone may simply be swapped with an instrument that has been modified in advance. Power is then restored with the event being logged as a short power outage (usually during bad weather or construction work). ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ French Magistrate Targets Official Wiretapper PARIS, May 28 (Reuters) - A man who headed France's official wiretap unit has been placed under investigation in connection with illegal eavesdropping carried out on orders of the late President Francois Mitterrand's office, judicial sources said on Thursday. Army Brigadier General Pierre Charroy, 63, was ordered placed under investigation for complicity in invasion of privacy in his capacity as head of the discreetly named Interministerial Control Group (GIC) under Mitterrand, the sources said. The GIC is officially entrusted with carrying out wiretaps on the orders of magistrates in cases of espionage or serious crimes. The body is so shrouded with secrecy that it is not known if Charroy still heads it. Former Mitterrand aides acknowledged last year that the late president, who ruled from 1981-1995, had ordered security officers attached to his office to carry out illegal wiretaps on the telephone lines of lawyers, journalists, politicians and at least one movie actress. The justice sources said magistrate Jean-Paul Vallat suspected Charroy of having aided the presidential wiretappers who acted without the permission of magistrates, making their actions illegal. Prime Minister Lionel Jospin pledged in last year's general election campaign to end an era of "monarchical secrecy" if he came to power and to lift the lid on cases like possible illegal wiretapping under Mitterrand, with whom Jospin was on poor terms. Jospin has since been accused of dragging his feet on the promise since he became prime minister and judge Vallat has written to ask for his help in his probes. Some 15 former Mitterrand aides are under investigation and could face possible trial in the case. Mitterrand died in 1996, seven months after leaving office. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The following pages which contain TSCM equipment reviews have been updated and are now available: http://www.tscm.com/tmdespect.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdeantenna.html http://www.tscm.com/fluke785.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdenljd.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdedemod.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdeacous.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdeanc.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdeaux.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdecraft.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdephot.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdephys.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdescope.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdesets.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdetdr.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdevehcl.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdevideo.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdevom.html http://www.tscm.com/tmdevsa.html http://www.tscm.com/intercept1.html http://www.tscm.com/reioscor.html http://www.tscm.com/spectan.html http://www.tscm.com/tmde.html http://www.tscm.com/training.html http://www.tscm.com/trainingciv.html http://www.tscm.com/traininggov.html ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Granite Island Group Mission and Purpose Statement Granite Island Group provides expert technical, analytical and research capability for the detection, nullification, and isolation of eavesdropping devices, technical surveillance penetrations, technical surveillance hazards, and physical security weaknesses.

Amway and Brave Combo Evidence Update
by StanSqncrs＠aol.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

On that page I point to with the X-tian fish discussion, I linked the "moderator nazi" with the right-wing because of his use of this symbol "&" to replace the "And" in "Andy". I have come to learn, it's got 2 meanings. It looks like the symbol for the "Know-nothing" movement is - "K & N". Of course, to know the significance of that, you have to know something about the "Know-nothing" movement. I think anyone that's ever observed many of the lists around, will see some remarkable similarities. Check this out - ==== Know-nothing (1827) 1 a : IGNORAMUS b: AGNOSTIC 2 cap K & N : a member of a 19th century secret American political organization hostile to the political influence of recent immigrants and Roman Catholics Know-nothingism (1854) 1 cap K & N : the principles and policies of the Know- Nothings 2 : the condition of knowing nothing or desiring to know nothing or the conviction that nothing can be known with certainty esp. in religion or morality 3 often cap K & N : a mid-twentieth century political attitude characterized by anti=intellectualism, exaggerated patriotism, and fear of foreign subversive influences Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10th edition ==== 'Know-Nothing' Movement U.S. political movement in the mid-19th cent. The increased immigration of the 1840s had resulted in concentrations of Roman Catholic immigrants in the Eastern cities. The Democrats welcomed them, but local nativist societies were formed to combat "foreign" influences and uphold the "American" view. The American Republican party, formed (1843) in New York, spread to neighboring states as the Native American party and became a national party in 1845. Many secret orders sprang up, and when outsiders made inquiries of supposed members, they were met with a statement that the person knew nothing; hence members were called Know-Nothings. The Know-Nothings sought to elect only native Americans to office and to require 25 years of residence for citizenship. Allied with a faction of the WHIG PARTY, they almost captured New York in the 1854 election and swept the polls in Massachusetts and Delaware. In 1855 they adopted the name American party and dropped much of their secrecy. The issue of slavery, however, split the party, and many antislavery members joined the new REPUBLICAN PARTY. Millard FILLMORE, the American party's presidential candidate in 1856, won only Maryland, and the party's national strength was broken.

If you are serious about freedom, you must go out and register to vote, and you must vote the real punks (Christian Coalition types (the CC is simply a front for the Know-nothing movement, and I'll bet you now believe me. ;-) )) out of power. They are the bastards that are controlling speech (and thought, IMHO) on that Camelogue list (the Humpheads). AND they were doing the same thing on that Brave Combo list (The Bucketheads gang that I seem to have incapacitated. Hey, can I say that I saved the Brave Combo? ;-) ) And the evidence is on Brave Combo cds. Not only the one that I'm on, but now that I've gone in looking at it from this angle, I see they've been documenting the invasion of the Bucketheads for 10 years. It starts with Humansville with the cover showing a "the" 'beast', IMHO raising it's ugly head out of the water. Also on that one, is a song called "Move" which starts with a message that was left on Jeffrey Barnes answering machine one night, that threatened him to turn down his music. There was no music being played in his house that night. They were trying to tell him to censor the Brave Combo. I haven't had a chance to search that album for other stuff yet. Those were the obvious things. The theme continues for the next 4 Brave Combo (only (they were doing collabarations also during this period)) studio releases. Since yous guys are Cypherpunks, I'm not gonna give you that many more clues (for right now, there are some songs patterned after certain specific Bucketheads that you probably won't get the connection, but if you think of various folk you've met on the net, I'll bet you find some remarkable similarities in the lyrics/titling/liner notes) So, it continues on to the next ones (and in this order) - Night On Earth No No No-Cha Cha Cha Polkas For A Gloomy World (BTW: Grammy nominated, lost (probably due to the Know-nothings. Study this one's liner notes VERY carefully (and Mystery Spot Polka lyrics for sure)) And up to the one I'm on - 'Group Dance Epidemic - Fun ...... and Functional!' Those are all excellent cds, but if you don't want to spend the money, all of the lyrics are on the Discography page (http://www.brave.com/bo/discography/) at the official website (which the Bucketheads still seem to have some control of. How do I know? Guess which lyrics they DON'T have there. The Jeffrey. (and other reasons) I forced them to put the Mystery Spot Polka's lyrics up there when I attempted to discuss it on the list (and I was censored.) They had to try to show that it wasn't being censored.) So, I'll post my interpretation of The Jeffrey because of that - ===== The Jeffrey (Barnes, Cripps, Finch, Hernandez - Wise Monkey Music) (Jeffrey (spoken)) I am the master of my own universe And I dance just as good as I want to ====== I am a genius because I want to be ==== I have created a dance in my own image Look at me! ====== I have written a song and dance just like me, I expect all BRAVE Combo fans to look for it's meaning! I'm not happy! (see insert photo of the Part 1 (The) Jeffrey) ==== (backup) One, two, three, four ====== I want you to analyze my song and dance line-by-line. ==== Nothing ((backup) Nada) ====== I'm waiting. I've been waiting. ==== Amazing! ====== Wow! Someone came along and analyzed my song, and (pretty much) nailed it! ==== How can you tell the dancer from the dance. ====== That is what is revealed by careful analysis of my song - how YOU can know about certain-type of people that "lurk (dictionary definition)" the Brave Combo list ==== (girl) moans - Oh, Oh, Oh Oh Jeff, your dance is devine ==== I like your song, Jeff (SERIOUSLY! :-) (I really mean this, Combo fans! ;-) )) ====== Teach me to dance Jeffrey ==== I want to learn how to tell the difference between reality and perception of reality ====== Move my body with your hands ==== Dazzle me with how simple it all is ====== How should I move my hips? ==== How can I learn how to do that? ====== (Jeffrey) Your hips will take care of themselves. ==== Jeffrey's answer - Join FreeGroup (http://members.aol.com/whtsametau/FreeGroup.html) and/or Visit What's A Meta U (http://members.aol.com/WhtsAMetaU/) ====== (backup (sung)) Your hips will take care of themselves ==== Hippies will take care of themselves ====== (Jeffrey) 'Hip'ssssssss ==== Hippies ====== Creator ==== Yes, he's the creator of his song and dance. The song describes a dance created by man, the "Know-nothing" movement (otherwise known around here as the "Chicken" Coalition). The dance is, well, I've already given you a hint as to where that is, Cypherpunks! ====== Nowwwww. Resume the active things! ==== Get off of your butts and stop being politically apathetic. NOW! Take these guys out of power (they're preventing you from expressing yourself, and they're trying with all their might to prevent Jeffrey (Carl, etc.) from expressing himself) ====== (backup (sung)) Hips will take care of themselves Hips ==== Hippies ====== I am the master of my own universe And I dance just as good as I want to ==== I am a (UNDISPUTED) genius, because I used my own free will to decide to play the 'United Snakes ... ' ;-) in the BRAVE Combo (he plays 2 saxaphones at the same time. In harmony) ====== I have created a dance in my own image ==== My song and dance is just like me. ====== LOOK AT ME! ==== He's Mad! Only one Combo fan knowing the true meaning of his song and dance is NOT good enough for a genius! Analyze his song and dance. He's waiting. A review of recent history reveals that Brave Combo fans that truly 'get' their music are HIGHLY rewarded. (liner notes) The band once discovered Jeffrey Barnes doing this dance all by himself in a corner. He denies all responsibility, as his conscious mind was elsewhere at the time. Part I All dancers get on dance floor (with great enthusiasm) 1. Do nothing. 2. Stand with your arms folded across your chest. 3. Shift your weight from one leg to another 4. Exhibit all symptoms of extreme boredom. When this becomes unbearable, move on to Part II. ====== Part I represents 'closed-mindedness'/censorship/Bucketheads ==== Part II 1. Put fist out with thumbs up. 2. Attach your thumbs to turntables in your mind. 3. Rotate your thumbs clockwise. ====== Check out the right ==== 4. Rotate your thumbs counter-clockwise. ====== Check out the left ==== 5. Your hips will want to wiggle, let them. ====== But Hippies will want to investigate things other than just left and right, you better let them. :-) ==== When this becomes unbearable, return to Part I. ====== Part II represents "open-mindedness"/freedom/Stan ==== Repeat Part I and Part II until you wish to stop. ====== So you Bucketheads can do your 'dance' for as long as you want, but while you're doing that, us Hippies will take care of ourselves. Stan ============ Various lines in there refer to various posts that I posted during that so- called "flame" war. If anyone wants to see a few of those, let me know. "I want you to know", that compared to breaking the Buckethead gang, getting on that cd meant very little to me, except, that it was designed as a tool for me to use against the Know-nothings. I think I'll go post that over on the Brave Combo list. 'Tis a shame that my only audience, is the Bucketheads (and the Camelogue moderator nazi is lurking (dictionary definition) the list.). The Bucketheads ran everyone who wouldn't "drink" with them off. Guess what, Cypherpunks. I'm betting that 95% of the music (probably other forums as well (Republicans For All Americans is one I know about for sure)) lists (and websites) are in control of the "Know-nothings." We have got to get those kooks out of power, or it will be too late. It's VERY possible that your favorite musicians are trying to send secret messages out to thier fans through their music/lyrics and cover art, personal notes, etc., on this very same subject matter. Look for these clues to find out if your favorite bands lists/websites have the same "pesky" problem. They can't tell you outright because they got Know-nothing goons watching 'em. "That's all we know." Serious shit, Sherlock(s)! Stan

Spiking keyboards, digital cash, appeals, shift registers
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Monday 6/8/98 7:53 AM John Young I am reading http://jya.com/sitesec.htm a bit more carefully. You have NEVER WRITTEN SO MUCH. Fishing was great. I used a $10 THE INSTANT CALLING CARD [TM] VOCALL COMMUNICATIONS CORP The World's Most advanced prepaid Calling Card which allows access with a pin of 718-2455-7091-xxx [my SECRET] in ENGLISH, SPANISH, ARABIC, URDU, KOREAN, JAPANESE, GERMAN, FRENCH, ITALIAN to call you TWICE on Saturday. At only $.14/min. I left one message about Xandi and spiking computer keyboards. Xandi MADE low-power transmitters, http://www.gernsback.com/HyperNews/get/forums/resource/226.html like the kind I MIGHT use IF I were going to spike a keyboard [most which use an 8051 http://www.apcatalog.com/cgi-bin/AP?ISBN=0125475705&LOCATION=US&FORM=FORM2] so that the keystrokes would be broadcast. This, of course, defeats crypto attempts to cipher keystrokes. But I DO NOT DO, or have to do, ILLEGAL THINGS for the FBI or any other government agency. I, as a DOE contractor employee, was protected under 10 CFR 708. http://av.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=10+cfr+708&hc=0&hs=0 But 10 CFR 708 does not appear to be working well in my case. Therefore, we had to try other remedies. VOCALL is getting real close to digital cash, one of Orlin Grabbe's interests. http://www.aci.net/kalliste/dcguide.htm I have to do mostly technical work on the digital FX this week but will try to get two notices of appeal to the Tenth circuit written. http://jya.com/whp043098.htm Morales and I, with all the publicity you and Orlin have given us, can go all the way to the Supreme Court with our genocide and crypto deficiency lawsuits. http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm Pro se, of course. Too bad NSA did not take my criticisms of its shift register work more constructively. http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm, click on Appendix S Perhaps NSA should have worked with some of us at Sandia to come-up with fixes to overcome deficiencies. This unpleasantness could have been avoided. Ive had ideas to improve shift register algorithm operation before. http://www-hto.usc.edu/software/seqaln/doc/html/gfsr.3.html Lets all hope for settlement of this UNFORTUNATE matter before it gets worse.

Campaign Against Global War on Drugs
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The New York Times today has a two-page ad: "We believe the global war on drugs is now causing more harm than drug abuse itself," with a letter to UN Secretary General Annan signed by hundreds from around the world, across the political spectrum. Web site for list and invitation to sign: http://www.lindesmith.org/news/un.html Public Letter to Kofi Annan June 1, 1998 Mr. Kofi Annan Secretary General United Nations New York, New York United States Dear Secretary General, On the occasion of the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Drugs in New York on June 8-10, 1998, we seek your leadership in stimulating a frank and honest evaluation of global drug control efforts. We are all deeply concerned about the threat that drugs pose to our children, our fellow citizens and our societies. There is no choice but to work together, both within our countries and across borders, to reduce the harms associated with drugs. The United Nations has a legitimate and important role to play in this regard -- but only if it is willing to ask and address tough questions about the success or failure of its efforts. We believe that the global war on drugs is now causing more harm than drug abuse itself. Every decade the United Nations adopts new international conventions, focused largely on criminalization and punishment, that restrict the ability of individual nations to devise effective solutions to local drug problems. Every year governments enact more punitive and costly drug control measures. Every day politicians endorse harsher new drug war strategies. What is the result? U.N. agencies estimate the annual revenue generated by the illegal drug industry at $400 billion, or the equivalent of roughly eight per cent of total international trade. This industry has empowered organized criminals, corrupted governments at all levels, eroded internal security, stimulated violence, and distorted both economic markets and moral values. These are the consequences not of drug use per se, but of decades of failed and futile drug war policies. In many parts of the world, drug war politics impede public health efforts to stem the spread of HIV, hepatitis and other infectious diseases. Human rights are violated, environmental assaults perpetrated and prisons inundated with hundreds of thousands of drug law violators. Scarce resources better expended on health, education and economic development are squandered on ever more expensive interdiction efforts. Realistic proposals to reduce drug-related crime, disease and death are abandoned in favor of rhetorical proposals to create drug-free societies. Persisting in our current policies will only result in more drug abuse, more empowerment of drug markets and criminals, and more disease and suffering. Too often those who call for open debate, rigorous analysis of current policies, and serious consideration of alternatives are accused of "surrendering." But the true surrender is when fear and inertia combine to shut off debate, suppress critical analysis, and dismiss all alternatives to current policies. Mr. Secretary General, we appeal to you to initiate a truly open and honest dialogue regarding the future of global drug control policies - one in which fear, prejudice and punitive prohibitions yield to common sense, science, public health and human rights. ---------- There are a gang of heads of state gathering at the UN, with cavalcades of limosines and guards racing around Manhattan to indifference, except for me, the only one jumping hurray at the sirens, whirling lights and bristling vans. All the SS guys facing backwards finger shot my middle digit aimed at them, then a sniper behind me put a red dot on it, scaring me shitless, I ran home.

In a message dated 6/8/98 5:34:38 PM Central Daylight Time, hedges(a)infonex.com writes: << And Marijuana remains California's number one cash crop as long as it is illegal... documented way back when by Dukmejian's (sp) agriculture secretary, whom he fired after the report. The cops cite you, confiscate it and smoke it, and everyone's happy because they're all making $480 per ounce from the end consumer on this crazy gene-engineered greenbud designed, catalogued, and bred by the University of California biology departments (esp. Santa Cruz). If it were legal, tobacco shops would stock joints for a tenth the price... they need new markets with the stricter tobacco legislation; maybe there's a lobby. I watched Dennis Peron battle it out with some meat-fisted guy from the Sherrifs' orgs in Congress. The cop went on about how "if we decriminalize marijuana, marijuana would no longer be illegal" >> It's illegal because of 1 reason. The "Know-nothings" have control of the illegal market. It's how they invade the bands. They create a dry spell, and then they come around offering free/cheap smoke, gain the trust of the band, and then they say - 'Say, could I create a little official webpage for you? You need to be on the net anyway (the big lie). I'll take care of it all for you.' Stan
