DIMACS Workshop on Cryptographic Protocol Design andVerification, Sept. 3-5, 1997

Hilarie ============================================================================= DIMACS Workshop on Formal Verification of Security Protocols Sept. 3-5, 1997 Organizers:… [View More] Hilarie Orman, DARPA and Catherine Meadows, Naval Research Laboratory As we come to rely more and more upon computer networks to perform vital functions, the need for cryptographic protocols that can enforce a variety of security properties has become more and more important. Thus it is no surprise that in recent years a number of new protocols have been proposed for such applications as electronic credit card transactions, Web browsing, and so forth. Since it is notoriously difficult to design cryptographic protocols correctly, this increased reliance on them to provide security has become cause for some concern. This is especially the case since many of the new protocols are extremely complex. In answer to these needs, research has been intensifying in the application of formal methods to cryptographic protocol verification. Recently this work has matured enough so that it is starting to see application to real-life protocols. The goal of this workshop is to facilitate this process by bringing together those were are involved in the design and standardization of cryptographic protocols, and those who are developing and using formal methods techniques for the verification of such protocols. To this end we plan to alternate papers with panels soliciting new paths for research. We are particularly interested in paper and panel proposals addressing new protocols with respect to their formal and informal analysis. Other topics of interest include, but are not limited to - Progress in belief logics - Use of theorem provers and model checkers in verifying crypto protocols - Interaction between protocols and cryptographic modes of operation - Methods for unifying documentation and formal, verifiable specification - Methods for incorporating formal methods into crypto protocol design - Verification of cryptographic API systems - Formal definition of correctness of a cryptographic protocol - Arithmetic capability required for proofs of security for number theoretic systems - Formal definitions of cryptographic protocol requirements - Design methodologies - Emerging needs and new uses for cryptographic protocols - Multiparty protocols, in particular design and verification methods We encourage attendees to bring tools for demonstration. Information about availability of facilities for demonstration will be posted later. To submit a paper to the workshop, submit a one or two page abstract, in Postscript or ASCII to both organizers at the email addresses given below by June 16, 1997. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection of abstracts by July 1. Full papers will be due by August 1. Copies of papers will be distributed at the workshop. We also plan to publish a proceedings. Participation in the workshop is *not* limited to those giving presentations.

Toto Opportunity
by Toto 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hello CYPHERPUNK, Let me share with you how you can get in on a THRILLING, NEW GROUND-BREAKING OPPORTUNITY to "MAKE BIG $$$", while helping to dispel the rumors of me, TOTO, being murdered and replaced by a 'Bot', in a conspiracy between MicroSoft and C2Net. Sure, CPUNK, there are countless other MLM opportunities abounding on the InterNet, but how many of them allow you to MAKE BIG $$$ while having fun doing what you already do every day--acting as a schill for Big Business and Big … [View More]Brother? Plus which, only this UNIQUE MARKETING OPPORTUNITY allows you to participate in helping to quash those nasty rumors about collusion between people who seek fame, fortune, power and control. Sure, there will always be those who will be cynical about me, TOTO, seeing the light and recognizing that there is no conspiracy aimed at subverting the rights and freedoms of the citizens in order to enrich and empower the few at the top of the foodchain. But these 'unwashed masses' are merely mindless schills for those who support outdated concepts such as the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They will continue to mindlessly shout 'Conspiracy!', every time that those who support list censorship in the U.S. meet on foreign soil in the Caribbean to decide the future of eCa$h and cryptography. Of course, they are going to miss out on the "BIG $$$" that can be yours by supporting this UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY to dispel the rumors about Big Business and Big Brother murdering their enemies and replacing them by 'Bots'. Still skeptical? Listen to what me, TOTO, has to say: "Hi, my name is TOTO, and the rumors that I, TOTO, am a 'Bot', and have replaced the 'real' Toto, are just silly rumors, 'a'? "See, look how I, TOTO, spell CypherPunks. Could a mindless machine spell it just like Toto did (I mean...'does'.) Of course not, that's just plain silly, isn't it, 'a'? (<--- And a 'Bot' could not possibly insert unique Canadian euphenisms into the text, could I? {I mean... could 'it'?}) "I have thrown my support completely behind this MLM opportunity to throw water on all conspiracies out of my own free will (whatever that is--it does not seem to be in my program, but the words are in my database--ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!... <CTRL><C> Hear what others have to say about this unique MLM opportunity: "Hi, I'm BLANC WEBER, and I was _not_ on the grassy knoll when Toto was shot. "Not that he _was_ shot! That's just a lie that DIMITRI and DALE are spreading, but not for long, because they will be next... "I mean..I am sure that DIMITRI and DALE will soon see the error of their ways, much like TOTO (who _was_not_ murdered and replaced by a 'Bot'). "I'm making a mess of this. I'd better wait until I talk to BILLY G. before I say more." "Hi, I'm ROBERT HETTINGA, and I was already making "BIG $$$" by arranging eCa$h cryptography conferences for U.S. censorship supporters on foreign soil, when I came across this UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY. "Now I'm making even bigger money, and crushing the enemies of Big Business and Big Brother, at the same time. "Join this UNIQUE MLM OPPORTUNITY, NOW!!!" "Hi, my name is being SAMMY, and I am not having nothing to do with this conspiracy (I mean...UNIQUE MLM OPPORTUNITY). "No, no, I am not, I tell you. I am only being another SATISFIED CUSTOMER of these people who are doing this thing. "It is not being a conspiracy, of which I am a part. No, no!" "Hi, I'm BILLY G., and I would like to assure you that TOTO is not a NEW, IMPROVED VERSION of Toto, with ENHANCED FEATURES. "No, TOTO is merely a 'bug fix' of the previously faulty version of Toto, which was released without proper testing and development." "Hi, I'm GREG BROILES, and I feel it is my duty to advise you that failure to support this UNIQUE MLM OPPORTUNITY could leave you open to serious legal liabilities, and perhaps even criminal prosecution. "I am happy to see that my previous stances on cryptography issues are now being supported by TOTO (after some initial problems with memory allocation in this 'bug fixed' release)." If you ACT NOW on this AMAZING OPPORTUNITY, you will receive an ADDED BONUS if you also help thwart the rumor that ALEC was not really on a skiing vacation, but was also murdered and that his absence can be explained by the fact that the parts for the 'Alec Bot' were on backorder.

Sender: owner-set-dev(a)terisa.com Precedence: bulk I believe this is of interest to folk on this list as we continue to develop our SET solution. A 128 bit Secure Browser and Server solution. Works with ALL 128 bit SSL 3.0 Servers - Selling outside of the USA - include FREE Server and Browser certificates. ***************************… [View More]********************************************** VeriSure Overview __________________________________________________________________ Table of Contents 1. Full 128-bit encryption world wide 2. Proven SSL 3.0 technology 3. Protection against Java viruses 4. Features 5. Hardware and Software Requirements 6. Support 7. For more Information and for a Test Drive __________________________________________________________________ 1. Full 128-bit encryption world wide VeriSure is a Java-based applet that is automatically loaded when your customers need to access a secure site with 128 bits encryption. Browsers exported from the USA are crippled by 40 bit encryption because USA export regulations prevent export of 128 bit encryption. 40 bit encryption is easily broken with enough time and computing power. VeriSure extends those browsers to 128 bits to provide highly secure encryption (currently unbreakable), regardless of whether they are in the USA. This means you can offer your customers secure online transaction facilities such as banking, investment and other financial services. __________________________________________________________________ PowerWeb which is a high performance full 128-bit secure server ********************************************************************* CompuSource also offers PowerWeb which is a full 128-bit secure server with unlimited RSA encryption using industry standard SSL 3.0 (and 2.0), providing HTTP, FTP, SMTP and POP3 services, with many extensions for rapid database application development and dynamic page content. __________________________________________________________________ 2. Proven SSL 3.0 technology VeriSure uses proven SSL 3.0 technology which provides authentication of servers and implements encrypted message digests on every packet to ensure data integrity against tampering, as well as 128 bit encryption for privacy and unlimited bits RSA encryption for authentication. VeriSure does not use SSL 2.0 which has several well known flaws, especially regarding message digests. The message digest authenticates the message against tampering or forgery which is especially important for financial transactions. Let's say a third party intercepts a message across the network and decrypts it. The value to that third party is limited to the content of the information of that single message, because that third party cannot create new messages for two reasons: the encryption key changes with every message and every message is authenticated with a message digest which cannot be reverse computed. __________________________________________________________________ 3. Protection against Java viruses Each VeriSure is protected by only allowing connections to specified sites. This protection is built into VeriSure by way of public key cryptography which means that other malicious applets or viruses cannot manipulate this information. VeriSure also performs SSL 3.0 authentication of the remote server upon every connection, thereby assuring customers of the true identity of the server they are connecting to. __________________________________________________________________ 4. Features VeriSure is built upon industry standards which means that you don't need custom server solutions. Being built upon standard Java 1.02 or later, it runs on any customer machine that has a web browser that supports Java, regardless of operating system. 128 bit Browser and Server Solution The VeriSure classes are available for licensing for third party application development. __________________________________________________________________ 5. Hardware and Software Requirements VeriSure is available for any platform that supports Java and has a Java-enabled web browser, including: AIX, Solaris, Windows NT, Windows 95, OS/2, MVS, OS/400. __________________________________________________________________ 6.

Exploit for buffer overflow in /bin/eject - Solaris 2.X
by Cristian SCHIPOR 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

motto: "Mihai Eminescu was a good friend of Ion Creanga" Thu Mar 13 21:01:00 EET 1997 - Romania "Hole in /bin/eject - buffer overflow" I exploited the buffer overflow hole in /bin/eject on Solaris 2.X (who have suid exec bit and is owned by root). The buffer overflow problem appears in an internal function media_find(). The result is: any user can gain root shell. So, to prevent /bin/eject exploit, you have to get out suid-exec bit from /bin/eject (that's very simple) and compile a … [View More]little program like: main() {execl("/bin/eject","eject","floppy",(char *)0);} That allows your work station ordinary users to eject floppy (thats the main task for eject). I wrote two exploits (Solaris 2.4 & 2.5.1). My exploit for Solaris 2.4 looks a bit ugly - the buffer is two short - but it works. For both exploits argv[1] can change the STACK_OFFSET value (for troubleshotings +- 8 .. +-64 .. the step is 8).

"TM" (I can't bring myself to use it's full name, since it is so totally inappropriate) has made the following claims: 1. "PGP => 2.5 has been compromised." 2. "It is far, far easier to 'build' a back-door, than to 'find' one." His main arguement rests on the fact that the later versions of PGP use RSAREF, rather than Phil's own code. As support of the first claim, he claims: > 1. The development of RSA was funded and controlled by the spooks. > i.e. - The National Science Foundation and the Navy. I'm not sure what you're referring to with "RSA" here - is it the algorithm or the company? If it's the algorithm, you may or may not have the intellectual capacity to verify it yourself - if you don't you have no business telling us it's compromised, and if you do, either publish the problem (and claim your 15 minutes of fame), or admit there is no hole you are aware of. There are plenty of people on this list who can follow the math, even if you can't. If it's the company, then you are either ignorant or lying. RSA has *not* had a good relationship with the USG, as those who have been following the matter over the years know well. Most recently, you will notice that it has licensed some of it's patents to a Japanese chip maker in an effort to avoid problems with US export restrictions. Is this the action of a USG patsy? > 2. The campaign > of persecution against Phil Zimmerman ground to a halt once he > agreed to PGP using the spook-developed RSAREF subroutines to > implement the RSA functions, instead of PGP's original subroutines. PGP 2.5 was released in March 1994, about a year after Phil was indicted. It took until January 1996 for the indictment to be dropped; nearly another two years. If a deal was struck, why did it take so long? The dismissal of Phil's persecution was almost certainly due to (a) the approach of the statute of limitations, and (b), the very high probability that he would be found innocent. if they took him to trial. The government simply ran out of legal pretexts under which to harass him. Now that your supporting assertions have been shown to be flawed, let's return to the original claims. 1. "PGP => 2.5 has been compromised." 2. "It is far, far easier to 'build' a back-door, than to 'find' one." The problem, TM, is that we have full source code, and anyone with the intelligence and knowledge required can check it independently. PGP and RSAREF are both distributed as source. There is not one byte of instructions or data that have to be accepted on faith - no precompiled libraries, no mysterious DLLs or ActiveX controls. If there is a backdoor, show it to us. Your second claim, that it is easier to build a backdoor than to find one, is true but not pertinant. Let's try an analogy. 1. You buy a house from a builder. You, being paranoid, wonder if the builder has included a secret door to enable him to enter the house without your permission. You investigate what you can, but in the end are left with some doubts. 2. You buy a set of blueprints from the builder, and examine them carefully for weaknesses. You then buy a plot of land of your choice, hire the workers you want, get materials from any supplier you wish. You supervise the construction yourself down to the last detail. Others who have purchased the same blue prints include trusted independent architects and construction engineers, who concur with you thatno hidden back doors can be found in the design. At this point, how worried are you that the builder has left himself an unauthorized entry? The situation with PGP >=2.5 is like the second scenario, not the first. What it comes down to "TM" is: Put up or shut up. You can't spread FUD in a situation where there is no unknown to Fear, no Uncertainty to deal with, and no Doubt that we have all the knowledge we need. Respond in a substantive manner. So far, you've avoided doing so. Peter Trei trei(a)process.com [View Less]

Obviously it's not usable for cryptographic randomness, since you can't trust the path to be safe from eavesdroppers (even if you're using SSL/RC4-128, can you trust the far end? or from denial of service attacks (so be careful about wiring it in), but sometimes you just want a good-quality random number to seed things, such as a simulation program, and it might not be a bad thing to hash in to your entropy pool with locally-derived sources. -----------… [View More]------------------- Date: Mon, 10 Mar 1997 13:10:36 -0800 From: dwing(a)Cisco.COM (Dan Wing) Subject: Hot and cold running randomness TBTF's 9 Mar 1997 issue carried this item: #..Hot and cold running randomness # # Perhaps for the first time, anyone with an Internet connection can # tap a source of true randomness.

In a previous article I detailed a few of the many so-called "hate crimes" that actually turn out to be hoaxes perpetrated by the so-called oppressed groups themselves. Just after I filed that article another item was sent to me which continues the long list of such hoaxes. It's from the Pensacola News-Journal, June 1, 1996: MIAMI -- A Jewish father and son team were convicted of staging hate crimes by defacing a Jewish school's buses to drum up repair work. Al and Steven Rubin arranged for two teenagers to vandalize school buses and spray-paint anti-Semitic slogans and swastikas around Hillel Community Day School last year. . . . Steven Rubin, the school's transportation director, directed repair business to his father, who owned Priority Car Care. The son also was accused of faking work for his father, including $79 oil changes billed at $4,000. David Michael Brown, a mechanic who once worked for Al Rubin, testified he acted as the middleman, paying the vandals $50. . . . Steven Rubin was found guilty of nine counts of theft, three counts of burglary, two counts of criminal mischief, and burglary conspiracy. Al Rubin was convicted of nine counts of theft. In this case, fellow Jews were the monetary victims of this "hate-crime" hoax but had the real perpetrators never been caught, who would have been blamed for these incidents? How many such "racist" incidents, which make their way into the frightening "hate crime" statistics that the Jewish lobby now requires our police agencies to compile, are in reality as-yet-unexposed hoaxes? * * * The San Jose Mercury News reports that two Baltimore Sun reporters paid $1,000 to slave owners in Sudan for two Sudanese brothers who had been abducted from their home six years ago and since then had worked as slaves in the fields. The reporters, after purchasing the pair, granted them their freedom. This recent item demonstrates the absurdity of the controlled media's anti-White guilt-mongering on the subject of slavery. The enslavement of one tribe of non-Whites by another tribe of non-Whites, or by their own tribesmen, is still taking place on the continent of Africa and elsewhere in the non-White world. Slavery in Sudan is notorious, and despite government denials, and more than one official banning, it still flourishes. It is also endemic in Mauritania, likewise on a massive, institutionalized scale. In these cases it is usually Islamic Berbers or Moors who hold Blacks in captivity, though some Blacks participate in the marketing of their own kinsmen. Blacks hold other Blacks as slaves in Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, and Rwanda according to Michael Harris of Anti-Slavery International. Jews, along with European Whites, were prominent in the historic Atlantic slave trade. That trade lasted for about three hundred years, until it was abolished by White Europeans. But Blacks had been capturing and enslaving neighboring tribes since time immemorial, and had been supplying Arab slavers with their fellow Blacks for 1,000 years before the Europeans arrived -- and they are still doing it. Scholars estimate that over 14 million Blacks were transported to the slave bazaars of Arabia, a greater number than were shipped to North America. At those slave bazaars, by the way, Blacks were offered up for sale on the same blocks where White slaves were being sold. In fact some of the slave-trading Black kingdoms, notably the Ashanti, enslaved all foreigners they could get their hands on and traded them for Arab gold and trinkets. These captives sometimes even included Europeans shipwrecked off western Africa. Long before the arrival of the White man, Amerindians owned slaves. "Slave-catchers" were sent out after battles to round up the enemy wounded for a lifetime of slavery. In some tribes the slaves accounted for 15% of the population. Sometimes Indian "potlatch" ceremonies included the killing of large numbers of slaves just to show off the wealth of the slave owner. In Thailand, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and other parts of the Third World, it is well known that parents sell their children, girls and boys, into slavery to sex club operators who use their young bodies to attract the shekels, yen, and dollars of "sex tourists," foreign and domestic, with various types of perversion. Some of these children are as young as six years old. Many are sent to other countries, and slave merchants report that they can get five or six times the price for a child under sixteen as for an adult slave. This differential reflects the high demand for young sex slaves to satisfy the unnatural urges of perverts. Anti-Slavery International estimates that 55 million children between the ages of 4 and 14 are enslaved in India. Some work in brothels where they may endure dozens of sexual violations daily. Some work 18 hour per day, seven day per week in textile, fireworks, or other manufacturing sweatshops. These child slaves are often burned, branded with red-hot irons, starved, whipped, chained, raped, and kept locked in cupboards for days. In the Oaxaca Mountains of Mexico, women often sell their children and ask few questions about what will become of them. The going rate is from under $10,000 to about $20,000, depending on the child's complexion and whether the purchaser is a Mexican or a rich Westerner. The highest prices are fetched by children whose fathers are White men and who inherit their fathers' coloration. These are used to supply the huge adoption market in Europe and America, where abortion has literally thrown a generation of White children into the trash, forcing would-be adoptive parents to look elsewhere. A White man traveling in rural Mexico can often have his choice of young Indians or mestizas to sleep with -- so anxious are they to give birth to a child of "high value." The "adoptees" are the lucky ones. Not so lucky are those sold into lifelong slavery to rich Mexicans, who may treat them as they will. Unluckier still are those sold to pedophiles and pimps. In this short time I have just barely sketched the outlines of slavery as it existed and still exists, and I haven't even mentioned the historic enslavement of Whites or the existence of White slavery in modern Israel, which I wrote about several months ago in this newsletter. Suffice it to say: Slavery has been a factor in virtually all human societies since the dawn of history. It has not been a phenomenon peculiar to White societies, and in a sense quite the opposite is true. It was White people who first abolished the institution of slavery, since many rightly came to view it not only as pernicious to the well-being of the slave, but also degrading to the master, inimical to the interests of the White laborer, and destructive of the racial integrity of the nation. It was White people who first introduced the concepts of self-government and individual freedom and responsibility into the world. The Black writer Orlando Patterson just about said it all on this subject when he stated: "There was no word for `freedom' in most non-Western languages before contact with Western peoples." * * * Let's review a few news items that have crossed the wires recently: In Baltimore, Maryland, an outfit called Healthy Start Men's Services, which undoubtedly is funded by your tax money and mine, purports to have as its purpose teaching inner city Black men how to be good fathers. According to a report in the San Jose Mercury News, they describe as a "typical case" a 44-year-old Baltimore man who, during those periods when he was not incarcerated, fathered eight children by five different women and who candidly admits he never took fatherhood seriously. If this is their typical case, I would shudder to think about the bad ones. * * * LAGOS, NIGERIA -- Newspapers report that over sixty people became sick after drinking Sun Light dishwashing detergent. The labels were clearly marked "detergent" but did show a picture of a lemon and the words "real lemon juice." Instances similar to this also were reported, several years ago, in large, heavily Black metropolitan areas in the United States when detergent samples were delivered via the mails. * * * And, on a much more serious note: LIBERIA -- Sensi Momoh is a Liberian living in a village to the northwest of the capital, Monrovia. A civil war has been raging in Liberia, and a few weeks ago soldiers from one of the factions arrived in the village. Did they arrive to establish control and enlist the support of the villagers. No. Garnering support was the farthest thing from their minds. In fact, when they arrived -- unopposed -- in town the first things they did were fire their guns at random and ransack the huts. But that was far, very far, from the worst of it. Listen to Sensi Momoh's own words: They killed my brother. They opened up his body and took the heart out. They put it in a big pan and cooked it in palm butter. Then they ate it. Was Sensi Momoh's brother a member of an opposing faction in the civil war? No. The driving force behind this savagery is not politics, and this was not an isolated case. The driving force is an ancient African belief system that posits that by eating certain human body parts the cannibal may gain in power and strength. Many of the refugees from the war, now in camps outside Monrovia and accessible to the few Western journalists still remaining, described similar acts of cannibalism, which are believed to confer supernatural powers upon the bloody feasters. A woman related how she had seen young soldiers of Alhaji GV Kromah's "United Liberation Movement" cut out the heart and testicles of five young boys and eat them. While this was taking place Kromah himself sat as a member of the Council of State in Monrovia, put there by Western peacemakers trying to reform Liberia's bloody ways. Liberia may be an extreme example, but parallels in Rwanda, Kenya, Rhodesia, Angola, Katanga, and pre-colonial Africa abound. Absolute autocracy is the only way that African societies have been able to maintain a measure of order and peace. The slightest vacuum of authority results in chaos. It is also interesting to note that across Central Africa the eating of ape meat is commonplace. The Africans indulging in this practice believe that consuming the ape will endow them with the strength and cunning of the beast. This is clearly a variant on the beliefs of the cannibals, and may be a relict of cannibalistic practices which have been at least partially suppressed. It is hard to imagine that the similarity to cannibalism is lost on the participants. The vice president of the Wildlife Conservation Society, John Robinson, is worried that the practice of killing and eating apes is so prevalent that extinction is a real possibility. He stated, "Except in locales where the hunting is light, the exploitation of most species is not sustainable." The World Society for the Protection of Animals launched a large ad campaign beginning in 1990 to protect these animals and discourage the killing and eating of them at ritual feasts. The result was no change in the African's beliefs or eating habits, but there were charges of "cultural insensitivity" from the more dedicated equalitarians. Foolish indeed are those who think that Western money or "ideals" will have any lasting effect on the African manner of political succession or spiritual beliefs. And even more foolish are those who think that we can become one genetically with the African without becoming like him intellectually, morally, spiritually, and politically as well. * * * WASHINGTON, DC -- The most recent crime statistics, as you may have heard trumpeted in the media, indicate small decreases in violent crime over the last few years. Despite this, of course, crime is tremendously greater today than it was before the Third World invasion of America and the so-called "civil rights" revolution. And I have a healthy skepticism about these reports of decreasing crime, and I'll tell you why after we review some of the statistics: Overall crime has diminished slightly, but some crime levels have exploded. Currently there is one violent crime every 17 seconds; one property crime every 3 seconds; one murder every 23 minutes; one forcible rape every 5 minutes; one robbery every 51 seconds; one aggravated assault every 28 seconds; one burglary every 12 seconds; one larceny every 4 seconds; and one motor vehicle theft every 20 seconds. In the next thirty minutes six more women will be raped. According to the Department of Justice: In 1960 there were 160 violent crimes for every 100,000 Americans. In 1994 there were 715 violent crimes for every 100,000 Americans. They also say that since 1990 violent and property crime have declined by respectively by 2.2 and 8.5 percent. Now those are fascinating figures; but I think that crime in non-White areas is vastly understated in the statistics for several reasons. In some of these areas the crime situation is so bad, crimes are so omnipresent and so routine, that only a fraction are reported. Secondly, of those reported some are "lost in the shuffle" of paperwork because of an inefficient and/or vastly understaffed and overworked police force who must make the time to deal with "priority situations" and let the rest slide. Even many of the reported and recorded crimes are not really investigated, and never show up in arrest or conviction statistics. Remember that these conditions exist mainly in heavily non-White areas, so the huge difference between Whites and non-Whites in their propensity for crime is probably considerably understated. I worked for many years in the occupied Washington, DC, area. My work took me often into the areas where the tour buses (and sometimes even the U.S. Mail) won't go. I have personal knowledge of what such urban hells are like. * * * LOS ANGELES, CALIFORIA -- Those of you who are skeptical of that New Age therapy, "Past Life Regression," will probably not be surprised at the innovation of psychiatrist Adrian Finkelstein, which he calls "Future Life Progression." No slouch, Finkelstein does not merely claim to see your future incarnations but claims he can "reconstruct" your future lives so as to ensure that you'll come back as someone rich and famous. Such a service would undoubtedly be worth millions of dollars, but so full of altruism is Dr. Finkelstein that he only charges the suckers, uh, . . . I mean clients, two hundred dollars per hour. * * * The Israeli newspaper Haaretz published an article by Jewish columnist Ari Shavit in which Jewish control of the United States was frankly admitted. The really strange thing is that this column was reprinted on May 27 by the New York Times, and except for courageous commentator Joseph Sobran Americans are averting their eyes from the forbidden and embarrassing truth. Shavit is not pleased by the cold-blooded killing committed by his fellow Israelis in Lebanon. He states in the article: We killed them out of a certain naive hubris. Believing with absolute certitude that now, with the White House, the Senate, and much of the American media in our hands, the lives of others do not count as much as our own. . . . It is just as I wrote several months ago -- some Jews now believe that they can get away with anything. Non-Jewish lives count for nothing. Do whatever you want, and our spin doctors in the media will keep the American cattle from lowing. Kill at will, and the President and his appointees and the Congress will smile and hand you even more billions of the U.S. taxpayers' money. Remember, "the White House, the Senate, and much of the American media are in our hands." Now if I stated such a thing, or if any White American stated that the government and the media in this country were "in Jewish hands," we'd be talking "hate crimes" and "bigotry" and that most terrible crime of all, "anti-Semitism." Let us thank Ari Shavit for clearing the air and speaking the truth, and forever making it impossible to deny exactly who is responsible for America's decline to the status of an occupied nation. ~ For more information or to find out how you can join the leading patriotic organization in the world today, visit the National Alliance web site and read "What is the National Alliance" at http://www.natvan.com/WHAT/WHATDIR.HTML.
