> > > I see you write from England are you a nigger or paki or just a white > > > pervert. Paul and others, I have a proposal: let's not waste our time responding to provocateurs like Charles Platt and associated scum. Charles Platt is a crook, a liar, and a crackpot. He nearly got arrested recently when he showed up drunk at a public lecture in NYC and started shouting obscenities. He used to spam Usenet with ads for his "cryocare" business (freezing dead bodies so they can be revived later). Now that he's been hounded out of sci.cryo by his former business partners and other people whom Platt cheated out of tens of thousands of dollars, this self-proclaimed "journalist" is trying to infest cypherpunks with his lies and spam. Perhaps he hopes to make a few bucks peddling snake oil psudo-crypto software for money launderers, in co-operation with Sameer Parekh. :-) Let's just ignore him. Shunning was pretty effective on the SternFUD. Cowardly sociopaths like Charles Platt feed on attention and are delighted by our outrage. If he doesn't get any, he'll go away and look for another forum to bother, like Declan's censored "anti-censorship" list. We have better things to do (both crypto and not crypto related) than responding to lying scum like Charles Platt. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

Tim in Anguilla vs. USA
by Vincent Cate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The comparison of Tim as a US citizen ranting in California to Tim as a guest in Anguilla ranting in Anguilla is not really fair. If Tim were a French citizen in the USA, and ranting about crypto-anarchy and destabilizing governments on street corners (or communism or something), he *might not* get his visa/work-permit renewed in the USA. Tim is very safe in the USA partly because he does not have to get a visa renewed. If Tim were an Anguillian citizen I think it would be totally safe for him to rant in Anguilla either on the net or in person, about crypto-anarchy and destabilizing of governments or whatever. It would have no impact on getting a work-permit or visa renewed because he would not be doing that. Anguilla is not so very different in all this than the USA. The US decides not to renew some visa on a totally different level of evidence than that used to lock someone up in jail. And in Anguilla freedom of speech is officially guaranteed in the constitution but, like the US, pornography, is somewhat controlled. But I don't believe there is any danger of an Anguillian citizen getting troubled by the government for ranting. The big difference between Anguilla and the USA is that banks, by law, can not give out information to anyone, and there is no sales tax or income tax, and no need to report sales or income amounts to anyone. In the USA banks have to give anything the government wants to the government. The level of privacy in Anguilla is far higher than the USA. I know I am repeating this, but... -- Vince

Anguilla is not Marxist!

Hold it right there! There is no Marxism or socialism in Anguilla. We don't even have income tax! They are not busy redistributing wealth here. They let you keep your own wealth in Anguilla. Get a clue! The current minister of finance is not at all responsible for the Cable and Wireless monopoly. It was the previous government that set them up and the current government is not happy about it. It is absurd to assume that since 20 years ago our Minister of Finance went to some school you are attached to, and you have noticed Marxists there, that he is anything close to a Marxist or to assume anything at all about Anguilla. After all, you are currently near this school, so by your logic you must have caught the infection too. Yet you claim to be a Libertarian. The USA had a monopoly phone company not that long ago. You might say that Anguilla is behind the US in terms of telecom policy. But to yell communism is totally nuts. Please. Be reasonable. -- Vince

I am going to have to check tomorrow and see about thse star and pound keys. It would amuse me if we had seen the birth of an urban legend. Anguilla vs USA 1) Income taxes Libertarian Socialist 2) Sales Taxes Libertarian Socialist 3) State owned radio Yes Yes 4) Competative bids Sometimes Sometimes 5) Pound keys that work ?

He appeared serious. There are reports that his physicians have desperately pleaded with him to seek treatment for these delusions but he fears that if he does so, he may suffer reprecussions from facing reality. > The microsoft attitude to standards is annoying also -- what do they care > about rfc822? "The good thing about microsoft is that we set the standards, > and we can change them when we want to". quote from a microsoft > representative at a standards meeting. IBM had the same attitude for years, and were quite arrogant about it when they announced the computer of our future, the PS/2. "Napoleon was Emperor, "But still, he met his Waterloo. "IBM was King, but still, "No one bought their PS/2." "Now, stepping up to the plate... "A 'heavy hitter', named Billy Gates. "Who just can't hit the 'long ball', hence, "He has the umpires move the fence." "Billy G. is not a fool, "He's handsome, witty, smart, and rich. "His products may be weak, so what? "He owns the team, he gets to pitch." "Besides, someone, somewhere, sometime, "Will learn to make his products work. "While cussing out the big MS, "And calling Billy G. a jerk." "Then Billy G. will buy them out, "(Or steal a 'base', some would say) "One way or the other, though, "Billy G. will get his way." "MS does offer some support, "(Even though they have to bill you). "Then say, 'We could tell you how it works. "'But then, of course, we'd have to kill you.'" "So here I sit, broken hearted... "Bought Win95, the nightmare started. "Those who write on shithouse walls... "Know MS has them by the balls." "For a good time, call..." [ MODERATOR'S NOTE: ] The obvious degeneration of this slanderous poem into a babbling morass of shithouse wit comes as no surprise to those who righteously supported the attempt to protect the cypherpunks list from exactly this type of off-topic trash. I am certain that the other troublemakers on the list will be spreading rumors and lies concerning Toto's sudden disappearance, which I am sure will be noticed shortly. To set the record straight concerning the rumors that are bound to be surfacing, let me state that it is a known fact that the lunatic asylums in Saskatchewan often use vehicles bearing Washington State license plates. The witnesses who claim that the white-suited asylum employees had MicroSoft emblems on their uniforms were obviously confused by the similarities to the 'MindSoft' emblem of the Sanitarium (which was legally formed shortly after Toto's soon-to-be discovered mysterious disappearance). Rumors that Toto was subsequently murdered because he had actually gotten Win95 to work, and thus 'knew too much', are obviously tripe, since it is a well-known fact that nobody can get it to work properly. The lies that will be attempting to connect Toto's disappearance to tonight's MicroSoft/C2Net party are also false, since it has been in the planning for months. It's just that we (I mean...'they') forgot to send out the invitations earlier, so it only appears to be a hastily organized event. As to the hogwash spouted by Dale Thorn, and others, concerning some purported behind-the-scenes moderation/censorship of the cypherpunks list--this is patent nonsense. This 'Moderator's Note' that you are reading now is an obvious forgery--part of some sick, demented plan to continue to cast slander and libel upon MicroSoft and C2Net. It is a mere continuation of the shallow attempts of slimeballs and perverts to cast aspersions on saints like Bill Gates, John Gilmore, Sandy Sandfort, Greg Broiles, and my employer, Sammy, who only want what is best for everyone.
