McClatchie) > X-Comment: Aw, are you offended? > X-no-archive: yes > [anonymous makes illegal usage of information, as defined by the state he > got the info from, and then whines] And your legal basis for calling the posting of public information from a public website to usenet "illegal usage" is ??? Presumably if the state had wanted to keep the info secret, they wouldn't have made it public available. The only whining I've seen has been by Gary Burnore who complained that the state of North Carolina failed to keep his conviction as a sex offender a secret, and by various DataBasix sock puppets and groupies. Burnore did the crime, he was convicted, he registered as a sex offender with the state of NC, the information was made publicly available by the state, and people found out as they were intended to. Deal with it! Maybe you ought to learn a little about remailers before you make such ridiculous claims, McClatchie. If I'm the person you say "whined", then I'm *NOT* the same person who posted the information that Gary whined about. Sorry to burst Gary's bubble that all posts which poor little Gary Burnore doesn't like originate from his one mythical "Anon Asshole <tm>". In fact, the information is just as likely to have been posted anonymously by YOU as by me. > >It's people like you and Gary Burnore who threaten and harass people who > >say things you don't like that make anonymous remailers necessary. > > >And it is assholes like you who ABUSE remailers that make them go away. Let me get this straight... Someone threatens a remailer user with physical violence, I comment on it, and now I'm "abusing a remailer" just because you don't like what I have to say? Don't you think that's for the remailer operator to decide? Do you operate a remailer, McClatchie?

"Anonymous stalker"? For merely posting a reply to a public post on Usenet? What state or country has a statute against that, and what makes you think the poster falls under its jurisdiction if it does exist? As for whether a certain post is "propaganda", that is for the reader to decide, especially when of the content is independently verifiable. The "propaganda" you refer to was apparently intended to refute the fallacious assertion that since Gary Lee Burnore's entry in the North Carolina official database of registered sex offenders had apparently been removed, then the underlying crime for which he was convicted and required to register somehow automagically never happened. To make such an assertion is to invite rebuttal. The thread you're whining about involved Steve Crisp <crisp(a)pageplanet.com> threatening an anonymous poster with "beating the living fuck out of you" if his/her identity could be determined, a second anonymous poster challenging the propriety of such a threat, and yet another DataBasix groupie, William McClatchie <wmcclatc(a)primenet.com>, calling the second anonymous poster a "remailer abuser" for daring to make such a challenge. So rather than denouncing the threat itself, you choose to call the person challenging it an "anonymous stalker"? If you feel no need to "hide" anything, please feel free to post your street address and home phone number. But I imagine that many people with small children would not want their names, from which their street address can be derived by someone with the resources available to you and Gary Burnore, to fall into the hands of a convicted child molester with a history of abusive retaliation. Being threatened with physical violence for making an unpopular post is one of the best arguments available as to why anonymity is necessary when people like Steve Crisp and convicted child molester Gary Lee Burnore are running around loose making those threats. > Oh and lookee what else: it was mailed to cypherpunks(a)toad.com, > presumably for archival on the cypherpunks mailing list, where it will > be picked up by WWW search engines.

I'm sure, as champions of free > speech, they can understand the necessity of making sure both sides of > the story get equal time. This, of course, comes from the same Belinda Bryan who impersonated a lawyer for DataBasix to demand the disclosure of (fortunately non-existant) user logs from the Huge Cajones remailer in a failed Scientology-esque attempt to embarass its users. And that attack, BTW, started because Gary Burnore was pissed that an anonymous whistle blower used a remailer to tip of his victim's mother to the molestation. As is typical of his style, Burnore denounced that legitimate use of anonymity as "harassment" and "abuse". It was also Burnore who chose to make PUBLIC what had previously been a private e-mail, thus inviting his critics to factually evaluate the claims. One of them apparently did so and discovered Gary Burnore's name and mug shot were published on an official PUBLIC website of registered sex offenders maintained by the state of North Carolina where Burnore moved after leaving San Francisco. Perhaps he should have learned a lesson from Gary Hart and not have taunted the wrong people to find evidence of his wrongdoing. Will the continual harangue against privacy and anonymity by Gary Lee Burnore, Belinda Bryan, Billy McClatchie, and other staffers and sock puppets of the DataBasix wrecking crew never end? BTW, Belinda, cross-posting your whining drivel in the fashion you're threatening negates your lame attempts to achieve deniability by using the infamous X-No-Archive header that has become the trademark of DataBasix' denizens. IOW, you won't be able to retroactively claim that an embarassing post from you was "forged" because it's not archived at an unbiased, third party site. Can you say "oops"?

Hidden US government
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Guys There is a segment in the US government who do whatever they want. Like stinging Iran. The segment thinks that they are unaccountable. We want to change this. And get our money too! Wednesday 5/13/98 7:40 AM Lawyers and netizens Morales and my last Friday filing seen at http://www.jya.com/whp050898.htm is causing comments at http://www.jya.com/mf050998.htm and elsewhere. One of my neighbors, Bill Moe, is a retired AF officer and now an APD cop. Moe commented that no lawyer would ever write a document like the one we FILED. Morales is ready to go to the Supreme Court on this case for the reasons of Campos dismissing DIR NSA Minihan. Morales feels that this decision make no one in a federal agency accountable.. We will also probably have to appeal the dismissal of Morales too. Bad precedent. Now that we have copies of the docket sheets seen at http://www.jya.com/whp-10usca.htm we must study them. We will do this at noon today. Then we will begin the process of filing criminal complaint affidavits on Tenth circuit judges and judge Joseph Weis, of the Third circuit. Dolores K. Sloviter Chief Judge, Third Circuit 18614 U.S. Courthouse Philadelphia, PA 19106 215-597-1588 also EARNED a criminal complaint affidavit along with clerks Bradford Baldus and Toby Slawsky. Slawsky earned another for sending US Marshals Lester and Lopez to investigate me, with no letter of authorization, for inappropriate communications. The matter of Campos in camera ex parte meeting with NSA is also causing CONCERN. http://www.jya.com/whp043098.htm NM judge John Conway had an ex parte in camera meeting with Sandia/NSA high tech terrorist James Gosler in 1992 in my ADEA lawsuit. Conway then sealed all of my lawsuit court records and halted discovery. Then there was the matter in both my and Morales lawsuits of material showing up in the final district decisions which was not in pleadings. A district federal court spy gave us information that Sandia wrote the decision for, in Morales case, judge Galvan and my case, John Conway. These actions by judges and court clerks largely prompted Morales and my genocide and crypto incompetence lawsuit. We know that the federal courts and the legal system are LARGELY controlled by the US federal government. This is becoming more obvious to all by those who read http://www.jya.com/whp043098.htm. The US Hidden government is in reality a fascist government. FASCISM - a political and economic movement, strongly nationalistic, magnifying the rights of the state as opposed to those of the individual, in which industry, though remaining largely under private ownership, and all administrative political units, are controlled by a strong central government. Since Morales and I have both lost money as a result of actions of a fascist government, we struck at the heart of the US Hidden government [aka The Great Satan] with our genocide and crypto incompetence lawsuit. Representative Cynthia McKinney [CYMCK(a)mail.house.gov ] and Senator Grassley [chuck_grassley(a)grassley.senate.gov] are in possession of the Swiss Radio International audio tape telling the saga of Hans Buehlers arrest in Teheran in 1992 for espionage. Hopefully those who are concerned can share their concerns about possible consequences of NOT releasing our requested documents on Internet. And, too, encourage settlement of this NSA-caused American tragedy. http://caq.com/cryptogate http://www.aci.net/kalliste/speccoll.htm Morales and I continue to feel that we should settled this unfortunate matter before it gets WORSE.

El Nino !!!
by goodnews4u＠mailexcite.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

El Nino Learn how to be an informed investor and how a $1.00 realized gain in your grain option value could return as much as $25,000 on a minimum investment of $5,000. Why Invest Now? The 1982-1983 El Nino was the strongest of the century spreading drought, floods and extreme weather across the vast stretches of the globe. Total combined losses to property and agriculture from weather related catastrophes are estimated to have exceeded $10 billion. The current El Nino has already surpassed the 1982-1983 event in magnitude and is expected to have major impacts on world weather through the summer of 1998. How realistic is it that the grain option prices will move one dollar? 1982-1983 El NINO IMPACT ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS FUTURES PRICES corn: Nov. 1982-$2.165/bushel (low) Aug. 1983- 3.76/bushel (high) $1.59 increase soybeans: Oct. 1982 $5.18/ bushel (low) Sep. 1983- $9.60/ bushel (high) $4.42 increase That's the past. What does the future hold? It remains to be seen if the 1997-1998 El Nino will duplicate the severe weather conditions that affected agriculture production around the globe in 1982-1983. However, given the historically tight supplies and record demand for corn and sobeans repectively, combined with the strength of the current El Nino event along with grain prices starting out from multi-year lows, it is our opinion that there is the potential for dramatic price increases in the futures and options prices of agricultural products.

Philodox Symposium: Digital Bearer Transaction Settlement
by Robert Hettinga 17 Dec '03

--- begin forwarded text X-Sender: rah(a)pop.sneaker.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: Wed, 13 May 1998 12:54:33 -0400 To: Digital Bearer Settlement List <dbs(a)philodox.com> From: Robert Hettinga <rah(a)shipwright.com> Subject: Philodox Symposium: Digital Bearer Transaction Settlement Sender: <dbs(a)philodox.com> Precedence: Bulk List-Subscribe: <mailto:requests@philodox.com?subject=subscribe%20dbs> X-Web-Archive: http://www.philodox.com/dbs-archive/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Announcement Date: May 13, 1998 The Philodox Symposium on Digital Bearer Transaction Settlement The Downtown Harvard Club Boston, Massachusetts July 23-24, 1998 Philodox Financial Technology Evangelism, of Boston, Massachusetts, in association with the Digital Commerce Society of Boston, announces the first in a series of symposia, conferences and workshops on the subject of digital bearer transaction settlement. The first of these gatherings, a symposium examining the technology, economics, markets and law of digital bearer settlement, will be held at the Harvard Club of Boston, Thursday and Friday, July 23 and 24, 1998. What is Digital Bearer Settlement? A digital bearer transaction is one where a cryptographically secure value-object, issued and underwritten by a third party, is exchanged between the two parties in a trade, typically over a public internetwork. The object, when passed in trade for something else of value, executes, clears, and settles the transaction instantaneously, securely, and, usually, anonymously. And, at considerable savings in transaction cost compared to "book-entry" transactions, such as credit and debit cards, checks, and modern securities clearing methods. It is estimated that $100 billion in transactions are being executed on the internet annually. 40% of all retail stock trades are now executed from the net, for instance. If it's possible to properly call a credit card transaction transmitted under Secure Socket Layer to be settled and cleared on the net itself, then an estimated maximum of $10 billion of those transactions, 10%, are actually cleared and settled on the net, with marginal market share to other transaction protocols. By comparison, $3 trillion in foreign exchange transactions are executed, cleared and settled every day, using standard book-entry processes. There are electronic check and debit protocols in experimental development, but, as transaction settlement time tends towards the instantaneous, the more cost, security, and non-repudiation advantages there are for digital bearer settlement. It is not unreasonable to see how transaction costs can be reduced enormously by digital bearer settlement, possibly by several orders of magnitude over any analogous book-entry method. It is completely conceivable that digital bearer transactions, of all kinds and sizes, from macrobonds to micropayments, will be executed, cleared, and settled on ubiquitous global internetworks, and will become the dominant transaction mechanism over time on those networks, and, by extension, in the global economy in general. It may happen sooner than we can imagine. Electronic book-entry settlement itself is only 40 years old at best, and internet financial cryptography and digital bearer settlement are much more a phenomenon of collapsing microprocessor prices than electronic book-entry settlement ever was. The Philodox Digital Bearer Transaction Settlement Events Towards that end, Philodox has taken it upon itself to focus the attention of the information technology, financial and legal communities onto the technology of digital bearer settlement though the following series of events. First, this initial Symposium of professionals interested in digital bearer settlement, to be held in Boston. Then, contingent on interest, a peer-reviewed Financial Research Conference to be held during the winter of 1998-99 in Manhattan or Washington, followed by a small Developer's Conference in the spring of 1999, held in more casual surroundings, and, finally, a teaching Workshop for Financial Professionals held in the summer of 1999 at a resort location, probably Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. It is hoped by Philodox that some, or perhaps, all, of these events will be recurring ones, and of course, that they will increase in attendance over time. The Symposium Each section of the Symposium agenda will consist of a short presentation on the topic by the most expert symposium participant on the subject present, followed by discussions led by a moderator. While it is not expected that everyone will even be conversant on each topic, it is expected that participants will bring their own particular expertise to bear on specific elements of the symposium program, and, of course, not everyone will have to present something. We have a lot to teach each other, but, fortunately, most of the people who are interested enough in this topic to come to this first symposium will know more than enough to have at least some opinions on the topics under discussion, and will certainly want to share those opinions with everyone else. Finally, there are lots of differing opinions this subject, so expect some animated discussion. Because of the expected demand and the size of the Harvard Club space we're using, participation in the symposium will be limited, and advance registration will be required. See below for details. The Symposium Agenda Agenda The Philodox Symposium on Digital Bearer Transaction Settlement The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston July 23-24, 1998 Thursday, July 23, 1998 (Club Dress Code: jacket and tie, no jeans or sneakers) 0730-0830: Check-in, Breakfast 0830-0845: Welcome 0845-1015: History of Bearer Transaction Settlement How old is bearer settlement?
