The 1938 Nazi law barred Jews from businesses involving firearms. On November 10, 1938 -- one day after the Nazi party terror squads (the SS) savaged thousands of Jews, synagogues, and Jewish businesses throughout Germany -- new regulations under the Weapons Law specifically barred Jews from owning any weapons, even clubs or knives.

This proposal should not be confused with the other "scruz.moderated" proposal. This message has been automatically posted to this newsgroup because scruz.moderated is now actively being discussed Charter: Scruz.moderated is for educated and englightened discussion of the pressing issues of Santa Cruz. It is to be a zone in which thoughtful persons may discuss important issues with other thoughtful persons. The moderator, Tim May, has already received indications of support from leading conservative voices in Santa Cruz, including Carolyn Busenhart, Tony S. Riducci, and Lee Himmelfarb (of the White People's Party). It will be moderated by Tim May. Appropriate topics for scruz.moderated include: - what to do with the homeless problem (e.g., the Final Solution) - conversion of Lighthouse Field to a nuclear-powered whale packing plant (based on the ideas of N. Campbell) - revoking the charter of UCSC for its creation of the "Kikes and Dykes Summer Program" - moving the voting age in Santa Cruz back up to 21 to lessen the bias caused by UCSC - how to develop the North Coast, and plans to expand Highway One north of Santa Cruz to 6 lanes--each way. - getting the so-called health food stores shut down for failure to properly irradiate their food - which minorities should be relocated to Manzanar and other camps And so on. Other topics may also be appropriate...check with the moderator, Tim May, first. Discussions of deviancy will not be tolerated, nor will leftist rants by Vegans, tree worshippers, tree huggers, persons of color, and self-described "queers." The moderator, Tim May, will establish a "whitelist" of those with automatic permission to post. All others will have to submit their posts to moderator(a)whitepower.org. Those whose posts are approved 5 times in a row will automatically be moved to the whitelist. The moderator, Tim May, may move anyone off the whitelist anytime he chooses, and for any reason. Those whose posts are approved will receive e-mail confirmation, saying "That's mighty white of you."

(Fwd) Release: Texas & Ruby Ridge killings (fwd)
by Jim Burnes 17 Dec '03

------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Date: Tue, 19 Aug 97 14:36:32 PDT From: announce(a)lp.org Subject: Release: Texas & Ruby Ridge killings Reply-to: announce(a)lp.org To: announce(a)lp.org (Libertarian Party announcements) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- =============================================== NEWS FROM THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY 2600 Virginia Avenue, NW, Suite 100 Washington DC 20037 =============================================== For release: August 19, 1997 =============================================== For additional information: George Getz, Deputy Director of Communications Phone: (202) 333-0008 Ext. 222 E-Mail: 76214.3676(a)CompuServe.com =============================================== Bring Marine and FBI killers to justice, demands outraged Libertarian Party WASHINGTON, DC -- It's now legal for Marines to use high-powered M-16 assault rifles to kill American high school students and for FBI sharpshooters to gun down mothers holding their infant daughters -- without worrying about any criminal penalties, the Libertarian Party charged today. "In America today, your innocence is no guarantee that you won't be killed by your own government," said the party's national chairman, Steve Dasbach. "And incontrovertible proof of guilt is no guarantee that military personnel or FBI agents will be charged with any crime." Dasbach's comments were part of an outpouring of outrage that followed the decision late last week by a grand jury in Texas not to prosecute a Marine corporal who shot dead an 18-year-old high school student, and by the Justice Department not to file charges against four FBI agents involved in the killing of Vicki Weaver at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in 1992. "These two decisions show that the government is more concerned about protecting the military and the FBI from justice than protecting innocent civilians from death," charged Dasbach. The two cases -- while separated by five years and involving different government agencies -- are graphic examples of why so many Americans fear their government, said Dasbach. In Redford, Texas, Esequiel Hernandez, Jr. -- a "shy, hard-working" young man, according to neighbors -- was gunned down by a four-man squad of U.S. Marines in May as he grazed his herd of 45 goats on his family's farm. He was the first American killed by U.S. soldiers on U.S. soil as part of the War on Drugs. The grand jury ruled that the Marines were acting in self-defense when they shot Hernandez -- despite overwhelming evidence that the high school sophomore never saw the camouflaged Marines in the first place. "This grand jury has sent a deadly message: Anything goes in the War on Drugs," said Dasbach. "This so-called war has become a military shooting war -- with M-16 assault rifles pointed directly at American citizens." The grand jury's ruling caused a firestorm of criticism; charges of a military cover-up; and demands for a Justice Department investigation because of numerous inconsistencies in the "official" version of the events. The military claims that Hernandez opened fire with his antique .22 rifle on the four Marines, who were lurking in the scrub brush while on a covert drug-surveillance mission. In response, they stalked Hernandez for several hundred yards, and Marine Corporal Clemente Banuelos killed him with a single shot from a high-powered M-16 assault rifle. According to Texas Rangers, Hernandez was shot in the side, while facing away from the Marines. Hernandez lay bleeding -- his red blood pouring into the dusty gray hillside near the Rio Grande River -- for 22 minutes before the Marines called for emergency aid. The young victim had never been suspected of or arrested for any criminal or drug-related activity. After the shooting, the Pentagon pulled 240 military personnel from the border area, and said the policy of using the U..S. military in covert anti-drug efforts on American soil was "under review." "Was the military upset over the death of an innocent civilian?" asked Dasbach. "No. The Pentagon was concerned because the Marines might face criminal penalties for gunning down a high school student." In fact, after the grand jury was convened, Pentagon spokesman Navy Lt. Cmdr. Scott Campbell complained that counter-drug operations "are not fair to the members of our armed forces," because it exposes them to "legal liability." In response, the Pentagon said it will ask border states like Texas, California, Arizona, and New Mexico to sign "status of forces" agreements with the federal government, which limit U.S. troops' liability to local criminal law. Such an agreement would be similar to those the U.S. government signs with foreign nations where American troops are stationed. The case involving the FBI dates back to 1992 -- to the bloody shootout at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, between the FBI and white separatist Randy Weaver. During that standoff, an FBI sharpshooter killed Vicki Weaver as she stood in the doorway of their mountain cabin, holding her 11-month-old daughter in her arms. After Randy Weaver surrendered, FBI officials destroyed documents that detailed the bureau's unorthodox "shoot to kill" orders, and one agent currently faces jail time for that cover-up. But the Justice Department ruled last week that it would not bring criminal charges against four other senior FBI officials, and ruled that the FBI gunman who fired the fatal bullet did not commit a "civil rights" violation by killing Vicki Weaver. "No wonder Americans are so concerned about violent crime," said Dasbach. "They see criminals in our Armed Forces and in the FBI committing murder and walking away without punishment -- while their victims lie in their graves. "But Esequiel Hernandez, Jr. and Vicki Weaver aren't the only victims here. The belief that in America, justice will prevail has also been mortally wounded. The only cure: For the judicial system to take immediate steps to bring the killers of these innocent Americans to justice," he said. In addition, Dasbach said the federal government should immediately demilitarize the War on Drugs, to make sure that another Redford, Texas-style killing does not occur. Specifically, he recommended: * Decommission the 8,000 military personnel and thousands of National Guard troops who are participating in anti-drug missions on U.S. soil, or reassign them to national defense tasks. * Immediately terminate all military spending on the War on Drugs. * Demilitarize the U.S./Mexico border. * File criminal negligence charges against the military commanders who sent heavily armed, poorly trained Marines onto private property, putting American civilians at risk of death. "By taking these steps, some good can come from the tragic death of Esequiel Hernandez, Jr.," said Dasbach. "The U.S. government can use this opportunity to stop waging war against its own citizens -- and, instead, wage a war for justice." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCUAwUBM/nQWdCSe1KnQG7RAQF05gP4z/KAS8YO63ZqLkzPd3VsC3EZdDJoClCG rxzwtkAHpOnm52ecZMw6ZWVMAq+iMwr68wqosEb9uM9nQqv9ObeO7DXBJTigfYZ5 yEho/Ee8Bjpl88n5LVKcF7QeOjsagd67/QpcLXjnTTnd7ETjxPcROWA0NaG5YPUZ sAiLthYDKg== =7Kcd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

coercion proof timestamping services
by Adam Back 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Just some thoughts about creating more robust time-stamping services. Current time stamping services just generate a PGP key, and sign any messages you send them. PGP signatures already include a time stamp. Problem: if we find some interesting uses for time-stamps where it becomes important that no one can coerce the timestamping service into back-signing timestamps in the past, the current timestampers will be able to comply, or as they are automated services, simply confiscating the machine will likely give the attacker all information required to back date any number of time-stamps. One solution to this is for the time-stamper to publish all time-stamps (they are quite small being detached signatures), and publish a siganature on all the time-stamps stored in one file each day. Perhaps even publish the signature in a newspaper. Anyone with that newspaper, or an archive of the master signature only, will be able to verify any claimed time-stamps -- the publically published hash (in the signature) must match the time-stamps archived for that day. Another way is perhaps to have a sequence of keys for signing time-stamps on each day, and to discard the private key after that day. Authenticate the use-for-one-day-only keys by signing with a long term key. If people archive daily keys, the coercion of timestamping service will be detected if it attempts to publish a daily key for some date in the past, and the timestamping service can't sign with old keys as it has purposely discarded the private halves.

Draft CCL Encryption Items Rule
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

We've received from anonymous a July 25 draft of an Encryption Items Interim Rule for the Export Administration Regulations which describes Commerce Control List changes in response to public comments on the December 30, 1996 interim rule. http://jya.com/bxa-ei-rule.htm (82K) The draft is in Federal Register format but, as far as we have been able to find, has not been published there. So if this doc was published we'd like to hear. Assuming the draft is legitimate, here's its summary of provisions (much expanded in the full document): [Begin summary] Based on public comments to the December 30 interim rule, this interim rule specifically makes the following changes: - In §732.2, clarifies that BXA will consider acknowledgments and assurances in electronic form provided that they are adequate to assure legal undertakings similar to written acknowledgments and assurances. - In §734.3, clarifies that downloading or causing the downloading of encryption source code and object code in Canada is not controlled and does not require a license, and clarifies that the methods used as precautions to prevent unauthorized transfer of such code outside the United States or Canada must be approved by BXA. - In §740.6, clarifies that letters of assurance may be accepted in the form of a letter or any other written communication from the importer, including communications via facsimile. - In §740.8, adds recovery encryption technology to the list of items eligible for export under License Exception KMI, after a one-time review, and adds a paragraph to authorize exporters of non-key recovery products under License Exception KMI to service and support existing customers of those products after the two-year transition period. This section is also amended by adding a paragraph to authorize exporters of non-recovery encryption products under License Exception KMI to export additional quantities of such products to existing customers under a license after the two-year transition period. - §740.8 is also amended by adding a new paragraph to authorize, after a one-time review, exports and reexports under License Exception KMI of non-key recovery financial-specific encryption items of any key length that are restricted by design (e.g., highly field-formatted with validation procedures, and not easily diverted to other end-uses) for financial applications to secure financial transactions, for end-uses such as intra or inter-banking transfers and home banking. No business and marketing plan to develop, produce, and/or market similar encryption items with recoverable features is required. Conforming changes are also made in §742.15. - In §740.9, removes the reference to Country Group D:1. This clarifies that encryption software controlled for EI reasons under ECCN 5D002 may be pre-loaded on a laptop and exported under the tools of trade provisions of License Exception TMP or License Exception BAG. - In §740.14, clarifies existing provisions of License Exception BAG and imposes a restriction on the use of BAG for exports or reexports of EI-controlled items to terrorist supporting destinations or by other than U.S. citizens and permanent residents. - §742.15 is amended adding a new paragraph that authorizes exports under an Encryption Licensing Arrangement of general purpose non-key recovery, non-voice encryption items of any key length for use by financial institutions (such as banks) in all destinations except Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Syria and Sudan. Applications will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and must be supported by a satisfactory business and marketing plan which explains in detail the steps the applicant will take during the two year transition period beginning January 1, 1997 to develop, produce, and/or market similar encryption items with recoverable features. - In Supplement No. 4 to part 742, paragraph (3), revises "reasonable frequency" to "at least once every three hours" to resolve the ambiguity on how often the output must identify the key recovery agent and material/information required to decrypt the ciphertext. - In Supplement No. 4 to part 742, paragraph (6)(i), clarifies that the U.S. government must be able to obtain the key(s) or other material/information needed to decrypt all data, without restricting the means by which the key recovery products allow this. - In Supplement No. 6 to part 742, eliminates the test vector requirement for 7-day mass-market classification requests and replaces it with a requirement to provide a copy of the encryption subsystem source code. - In Supplement No. 6 to part 742, adds 40-bit DES as being eligible for consideration for mass-market eligibility, subject to the additional criteria listed in this supplement. - In §§ 748.9 and 748.10, clarifies a long-standing policy that no support documentation is required for exports of technology or software, and it removes the requirement for such support documentation for exports of technology or software to Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, or Slovakia. This rule also exempts from support documentation requirements all encryption items controlled under ECCNs 5A002, 5B002, 5D002 and 5E002. This conforms with the practice under the ITAR prior to December 30, 1996. - In §750.7, authorizes certain specified changes to Commerce and State Encryption Licensing Arrangements by letter. - In §752.3, excludes encryption items controlled for EI reasons from eligibility for a Special Comprehensive License. - In §770.2, adds a new interpretation to clarify that encryption software controlled for EI reasons under ECCN 5D002 may be pre-loaded on a laptop and exported under the tools of trade provision of License Exception TMP or the personal use exemption under License Exception BAG, subject to the terms and conditions of such License Exceptions. - In part 772, adds new definitions for "effective control", "encryption licensing arrangement", "financial institution" and "recovery encryption products". - In Supplement No. 1 to part 774, Category 5 - Telecommunications and Information Security is amended by revising ECCN 5A002 to authorize exports of components and spare parts under License Exception LVS, provided the value of each order does not exceed $500 and to clarify that equipment for the encryption of interbanking transactions is not controlled under that entry. - Revises the phrase "up to 56-bit key length DES" where it appears to read "up to or equal to 56-bit key length DES", and makes other editorial changes. [End summary]

How secure is a message encrypted with a 4096 bit key via PGP 5.0; what kind of processing power and resources would be required to crack such a message?

I have found a million documents on the INSLAW affair but not one that mentions anything after the lame Congressional investigation in 1992. Does anybody have pointers to events since that time? Thanx

First let me tell you that we appreciate all of the letters of support that you have sent. During the many days of confusion, your kind letters help us to remain focused on the tasks at hand. Our company ShadowSoft, Inc. publishes Public Records CDs and we specialize in consulting or contracting with databases (preferably large databases). ShadowSoft was approached around the end on 1996 and was asked if we could place our public records databases on the Internet. After a little bit of tinkering the basic model that you see at PublicData.com was developed. ShadowSoft is staffed with the best technical people in the industry but we don't have skills in the area of marketing. It has been our desire all along to simply be the technical and database contractor for someone who wished to run the business of marketing and merchandising PublicData.com. A law passed by the Texas legislature this year banning the distribution of public data records over the Internet has made finding a merchandiser difficult and has made us re-think our position. I have made the decision that ShadowSoft shall cease operating PublicData.com on August 31, 1997. Because of my own personal belief that keeping public records available to the public in a free society is critical and essential to keeping our country free, ShadowSoft has sold PublicData.com to a company based in Anguilla, British West Indies. The company which is named PublicData.com.ai Ltd. has purchased all of the programs that ShadowSoft developed which gives you access to the information over the Internet. In addition, ShadowSoft will consult for PublicData.com but our data was not sold to them as a part of our deal. Instead, PublicData.com has purchased another copy of the same databases and should be able to provide uninterrupted service to you after September 1, 1997. The new owners of PublicData.com should be sending you a note very soon. Thanks again for all of your support and please consider keeping a subscription with PublicData.com. Sincerely, Bruce President ShadowSoft, Inc.
