Re: DirFBI: Danger of Encryption
by Anonymous 17 Dec '03

On Sunday, July 12, 1998, in The New York Times, Louis J. Freeh had the unmitigated gall of a lying Nazi Fuck to write: > To the Editor: > > Re "Privacy in the Digital Age" (editorial, July 6): No law > enforcement agency is "trying hard to prevent the growing > use of encryption." In the face of such overwhelming evidence as virtually litters the landscape and graces more than one court docket, how can Louis Fuck-the-Free open with such a bald-faced lie, unsupported by any data or argument whatsoever? His own agency, not to mention several "non-law-enforcement" agencies (is this the lawyer's catch in his assertion?) have been lobbying _vigorously_ and without letup for several years now to "prevent the growing use of encryption." The whole export control regime for encryption has as its sole purpose to "prevent the growing use of encryption." I'm all for a constitutional amendment that would put this kind of bald-faced lying by high public officials on the same footing as treason, with the same penalties. > But encryption represents a serious public safety concern. It sure does! The lack of widely available, fully functional strong crypto is a national and individual weakness that allows control freak fucks like Louis to make a reach for the ultimate levers of control and cement us into the ultimate surveillance state, from which there will be no return. > We are open to any solution that recognizes that it is > the ability to collect electronic evidence that has > allowed us to prevent airliners from being bombed and > to put major drug dealers behind bars. <SNORT!> Right! Like you prevented TWA 800, Lockerbee, and the ValuJet eaten in midair by illegally transported live oxygen canisters? Just HOW MANY AIRLINERS HAVE YOU SAVED, you lying Nazi fuck? Don't talk to us about the drug dealers... the ones who wouldn't be able to earn a penny if it weren't for the War on Drugs in the first place. We already know that the pharmaceutical market value of a dose of heroin is something like 25 cents, and that the only reason those addicts are breaking into our homes and killing us on the streets is because the GOVERNMENT has made it illegal for them to obtain their sleepytime meds at reasonable prices that even a minimum-wage burger flipper could afford if he wanted to waste himself that way. > Key escrow is one possible solution. No it isn't. It's not a solution to anything at all. It's the destruction of privacy through more heavy-handed tactics and intrusion into private affairs. It's the police state's wet dream, second only to full, real time monitoring of everything and everything. One step at a time, though, eh, lying Nazi fuck? > There are others, and certainly a statutory scheme can > be devised that will all but eliminate any risk of abuse > by law enforcement. You must be taking some of those drugs your agents seize! If there is one constant, one unchangeable feature of government landscape, it is that NO POWER can be safeguarded against abuse, and that EVERY POWER will be abused, just some more than others. This claim is an insult to the intelligence of even the most retarded, obedient American. Your mother clearly didn't wash your mouth with a strong enough brand of laundry soap to make an impression on your little proto-Nazi mind. We should really suspend the ENTIRE debate right now, pending the prosecution and imprisonment of the thousands of FBI personnel involved in past, DOCUMENTED violations of rights. Before we even take you seriously I want to see the asses of the SAs who have done "black bag jobs", who have killed and maimed men, women and children, who have instigated unlawful acts by incompetents through agents provocateurs, AND their SACs, AND their authorizing DDs, etc., ALL LANGUISHING IN LEVEL 6 FACILITIES doing the the HARD TIME of multiple life terms they so richly deserve for having arrogantly and systematically violated their oaths of office and the laws of the land. Then and ONLY THEN can we "talk," you strutting, lying little Nazi fuck! > But if we do not allow for court-ordered access, for the > first time in the history of this country a court order > for seizure of evidence will be an absolute nullity. Utter Nazi rubbish! The truth is that if you _do_ get what you want, for the first time in the history of this country it will be unlawful or even impossible for Americans to secure their communications as they could in 1789 when the Constitution was ratified. It is _not_ the ability to protect communications and writings that is new -- it is the invasive technology and the windfall to you of communications and records being handled by third parties that is new. Your claim of being locked out by new technology not contemplated by the Constitution is false. What was not contemplated and now needs to be remedied is that conversations easily secured against eavesdroppers in 1789 are now easily overheard, and communications easily secured in 1789 are now easily violated. THAT'S what needs to be fixed, NOT your inability to continue and expand your totalitarian invasion of the natural rights of Americans and others. > We want to work with industry on a real solution, More bullshit! You want what you want when you want it and you have been vigorously campaigning for new and expanded powers to every ear on Capitol Hill that would listen, even conducting closed briefings to make your one-sided case out of the light of public scrutiny. Admit it -- you're a thorough-going weasel, and proud of it! > recognizing that those who acquire encryption over the > Internet or from abroad naively make assumptions about > the security it affords. Oh, PLEASE! You have the security of naive Internet users at heart? Is that what we're supposed to believe? Do you really think we just fell off the turnip truck? The very encryption you fear most, strong public key encryption that you can't break and won't be able to break within the predicted lifetime of the universe, is presently available over the Internet, AND THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE, you lying Nazi fuck! > We are not fighting encryption, HAVE YOU NO SHAME AT ALL, uttering bald-faced lies like that? > but we know what will happen if technology cannot be made > to work for law enforcement as it works for criminals > and terrorists. We know, too: freedom will continue to have a chance. You need to take a deep breath and consider that many people now understand the sham in which you are involved. More and more people are wondering why you don't just nail the truly bad guys the way they have been nailed for millenia -- by good, conventional police work. Bad guys have been apprehended since time immemorial without resort to data-mining the databases and eavesdropping on all forms of communication. Now, just because technology allows you means of invasion never contemplated by the Constitution, suddenly you can't do your job without them? Utter nonsense! Lying Nazi fuck nonsense! Louis J. FREEH (Louis J.

[humor] Fwd: Win98's README.1ST
by Jean-Francois Avon 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

==================BEGIN FORWARDED MESSAGE================== >Subject: Win98's README.1ST Did you intend to upgrade to Win98? If you do, here's a preview of the READ ME FIRST page ------------------------------------------------------------------- Congratulations on your purchase of Windows 98 (c), the latest version of the world's #1 computer operating system from Microsoft. A) Before using your new software, please take the time to read these instructions carefully. Failure to do so may further limit the terms of the limited warranty. Windows 98 (c) represents a significant technological improvement over Microsoft's previous operating system, Windows 95 (c). You'll notice immediately that * "98" is a higher number than "95," * a better than 3 percent increase. But that's not all. Windows 98 (c) contains many features not found in Windows 95 (c), or in any competing computer operating system, (if there are any of course). Among the improvements: faster storing and retrieving of files (not in all models), enhanced "Caps Lock" and back-space functionality, smoother handling, less knocking and pinging, an easy-to-follow 720-page User's Guide, and rugged weather-resistant shrink wrap around the box. Most important, Windows 98 (c) offers superior compatibility with all existing Microsoft products. We're betting that you'll never use another company's software again. Windows 98 (c) comes factory-loaded with the latest version of Microsoft Explorer, the world's most popular Internet browser. And despite what you may have heard from the U.S. Department of Justice, Windows 98 (c) offers you the freedom to select the Internet browser of your choice, whether it's the one produced by the world's largest and most trusted software producer, or by a smaller company that will either go out of business or become part of the Microsoft family. Configuring Windows 98 (c) to use a browser OTHER than Microsoft Explorer is easy. Simply open the "Options" folder, click on the "time bomb" icon, and select "Load Inferior Browser." A dialog box will ask "Are you sure?" Click "yes." This question may be asked several more times in different ways and in 12 different languages ; just keep clicking "yes." Eventually, the time-bomb icon will enlarge to fill the entire screen, signifying that the browser is being loaded. You'll know the browser is fully loaded when the fuse on the time bomb "runs out" and the screen "explodes." If at any time after installation you become disappointed with the slow speed and frequent data loss associated with other browsers, simply tap the space bar on your keyboard. Microsoft Explorer will automatically be re-installed- permanently. Windows 98 (c) also corrects, for the first time anywhere, the "Year 2000" computer problem. As you may know, most computers store the current year as a two-digit number and, as a result, many will mistake the year 2000 for 1900. Windows 98 (c) solves the problem by storing the year as a four-digit number and, in theory, you won't have to upgrade this part of the operating system until the year 10000. However, the extra memory required to record the year in four digits has prompted a few minor changes in the software's internal calendar. Henceforth, Saturday and Sunday will be stored as single day, known as "Satsun," and the month of June will be replaced by two 15-day months called "Bill" and "Melissa." Please also take the time to complete the online registration form. It only takes a few minutes and will help us identify the key software problems our customers want addressed. Be assured that none of the information you provide, whether it's your Social Security number, bank records, fingerprints, retina scan or sexual history, will be shared with any outside company not already designated as a Microsoft DataShare partner. We've done our best to make using Windows 98 (c) as trouble-free as possible. We want to hear from you if you're having any problems at all with you software. Simply call our toll-free Helpline and follow the recorded instructions carefully. (The Helpline is open every day but Satsun, and is closed for the entire month of Bill.) If we don't hear from you, we'll assume your software is working perfectly, and an electronic message to that effect will be forwarded to the Justice Department. We'll also send, in your name, a letter to the editor of your hometown newspaper, reminding him or her that American consumers want software designed by companies that are free to innovate, not by government bureaucrats. Again, thanks for choosing Windows 98 (c). ===================END FORWARDED MESSAGE=================== Jean-Francois Avon, B.Sc.

Jim Bell Request
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A forwarded message from Jim Bell: Jim is requesting that cpunks try to get the Oregon newspaper to write up another story on his case. John Branton is the "crime reporter" for the Columbian newspaper (editors(a)columbian.com) Jim asks that people send Branton a note saying they would like to see a story on the issue of Jim's being spied on. This reporter already knows what the allegations are, but Jim wants to prod him into covering his story, because he thinks it's important enough for the public to know about it. Jim also would like any reporters on the list who are interested in talking to him, to send him their phone number and he will give them a call. BTW, the next hearing date is set for the 7/30/98. In the meantime, he's hanging around shooting pool, reading magazines, etc. [End Jim message] ---------- Jim's address: James Bell #26906086 Federal Detention Center P.O. Box 68976 Seattle WA 98168 ---------- Latest court docket entries: 6/30/98 50 MINUTE ORDER by Judge Franklin D.

Well since it looks like its a valid converstation peace here, I might as well give ya my 2 bits worth. >>http://www.ourfirsttime.com >> >>aww... ain't 'dat sweet.... >> > >I'd appreciate it more if I hadn't been spammed twice already by >self-proclaimed born-again Christians attempting to mobilize people >against those two kids... Or by one of the weaselly marketers in a while. Think of it. You creat a site based on a recent headline making Internet first <the women who had a child online>. Then you spam the shit out of everyone faking like your the oposition. You don't get nailed for spamming you give your opisition a black eye you artificially create a media blitz, since the news runs to cover this confrontation between the relegious right and the new internet morality. You get about a billion hits you add one or two click through adds or some other such thing to the web page Here comes the big day Bingo, a quick 30,000$ in your bank account. You sell the rights to porn companies to include in their feeds since there is so much product recognition. ;) smart little bastard not that I am saying that is what is going on. not that im cynical or anything....
