It was remailed by *real* men and women who have the guts to make citizens *pay* for attempting to draw attention to non-official viewpoints and values by assaulting them with potentially deadly toxix substances.

About Golf Balls
by ballman＠thebestemail.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

=====> WE WANT YOU TO KNOW MORE ABOUT GOLF BALLS <======= Lets Take Air For Example.... All of us know how tough it is to hit a good shot in windy conditions. We assume therefore that air is just another natural element we must out wit in order to score well. In reality, AIR is what makes it possible for us the hit the ball as far as we do. The SPIN we impart on a ball actually gives the ball lift, much like the wing on an aircraft imparts lift. This lift makes it possible for the ball to stay airborne longer, enabling it to travel further. In a vacuum, the average 250 yard drive would only travel about 180 yards. A winged aircraft would not fly. Air is your Friend....::)) Now here's one for you......Does a ball fly farther on a hot dry day or cold wet day??....How about a hot humid day or a cold dry day ? Let me know what you think. We reclaim premium quality golfballs from over 130 courses in 13 states. We stock over 50 varieties of balls. If you're an average player, by the time you have played 3 holes with a new ball, you are playing with a ball that's in much worse condition than our premium balls. We offer the highest possible quality recycled balls available...at direct pricing....HUGE SAVINGS over new balls. Yes we have BALATAS, and a large variety of ladies golfballs, plus the world's longest golfball - the viper! Customer Satisfaction Is Absolutely Guaranteed. If you would like a free catalog, just send me an email. Click Here For Free Catalog Regards, The Ballman ballman(a)thebestemail.com Our Mission: To Be The Best (As Determined By Our Customers) Suppliers of Quality Recycled Golf Balls BUY SELL TRADE ps..I have worked carefully to see that this educational information goes only to those who may have an interest. If you do not, please send me back an email with remove as the subject. I will not mail to you again.

Sympatico Reaches Compromise With Censored Author
by RCMP HateMailer 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

[Bienfait Nutly News]SYMPATICO, A CANADIAN INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER, reached a compromise with a notoriously unknown Saskatchwan author whose website had been destroyed after the ISP was threatened with legal and physical violence by Royal Canuckian Mounted Police. Sympatico agreed to restore 'half' of the author's 'Semi-Revisionism' webpage, which espouses the view that the Holocaust, although a true 3D event, was neither fact nor fiction, but merely "overblown." The half-restored webpage originally had a variety of links to sites on the InterNet which provided information confirming the author's theory that a variety of ethnic groups were the targets of genocide during World War II, and that the real reason behind most of the Revisionist literature on the InterNet was the result of the Jews milking their tragedy for more sympathy (and money) than the other ethnic groups. "If the same events took place in today's society," the author speculates, "then the resulting media frenzy would ensure that all parties involved would receive a proportionate share of the gigantic rubber-necker/tragedy market. "As it is, it happened that the Jews managed to corner the small genocide-sympathy market that existed at the time, and succeeded in building a Holocaust Empire that was able to squash all competition from the survivors of other ethnic massacres." The Anti-SemiRevisionist Coalition, fighting against the current DOJ anti-trust actions targeting the Jewish monopoly of the genocide market, agreed to make Holocaust promoter Simon Wisenthal and Zundelsite's revisionist creator, Ingrid Rimland, joint chairmen of the Coalition. They joined together in arguing that breaking up the Jewish Holocaust monopoly would destroy the genocide market and eventually lead to minor ethnic groups who had only experienced "inconvenience and discomfort" to saturate the market with inferior horror stories. "Already, we are seeing examples of people with short numbers tatooed on their arms, pressing for equal rights legislation." one alleged Holocaust victim told gathered reporterwhores. However, when a German reportwhore pointed out that the man had a Scandanavian nose and name, the man's tattoo, upon closer inspection, turned out to be three lines of Perl code. The man was immediately seized by the the host of the Politically Correct TV show and deported to a Death of the CypherPunks camp run by Declan McCullagh outside of Bienfait, Saskatchwan.

Best IDEA implimentation?
by Schaerer 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A brief scan of FTP sites will result in several different implimentations of the IDEA algorithm. Is there any agreement as to the 'best' (Def: easily compiled, syntax that helps prevent dumb errors, good documentation, relatively quick on most computers, etc)? If it varies from computer to computer, what would the best implimentation be for an Intel Pentium running ms-dos/windows95 using the djgpp c/c++ compiler? I greatly appreciate any and all help. - Jim Schaerer --- Since this is my first post, I suppose I should introduce myself (since I know you all are just dying to learn about me :-) ). I am a high school student from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who has had an interest in cryptography for the last year-or-so. Needless to say, I have absolutely no training in cryptography or advanced mathematics - everything I know comes from books or essays on the aforementioned subjects. When I'm not on my computer, music (Classical) is my past-time. My primary instrument is the euphonium (think small tuba with a mellow sound), which I plan on playing through college and beyond.

$1,000,000 CypherPunk Challenge
by RCMP HateMailer 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

THE ESTEVAN DETACHMENT OF THE ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE MILLION DOLLAR CYPHERPUNK CHALLENGE! Thanks to the generous contributions of RCMP officers such as Constable Beauline, who generously offered to kick in a share of the money he extorted at gunpoint from the late TruthMonger #1, in the CoalDust Saloon, we are able to offer each of you a chance at the Grand Prize for aiding us in securing a conviction on any major criminal charge against an individual who has sullied the reputation of the Royal Canuckian Mounted Police by subjecting us to ridicule for the mountains of government resources and funds we have pissed away in our unsuccessful attempts to imprison him over the years. The sorry, scumbag piece of shit who posts to the CypherPunks mailing list under a variety of aliases, including, Toto, TruthMonger, Blanc Weber and Sameer, is known to be as big a pain in the ass to you irreverent, anarchist CypherPunks felons as he is to those of us sworn to Serve and Protect the rich and powerful from loudmouthed troublemakers who feel no shame in stepping outside the boundaries of our subservient middle-class society. CSIS, an arm of Canadian law enforcement whose manifest is to find and exploit weaknesses of character in our citizens, in order to encourage them down a path which will allow the judicial system to put enough white people in jail to keep a semblance of order amoung the Wagon-Burners who belong in the white man's prisons by virtue of their birthright, has provided the RCMP with illegally intercepted InterNet communications which lead us to believe that most of the CypherPunks are, in reality, personally resigned to the fact that Big Brother already has the game in the bag, and would recognize the benefit of helping us to hammer down, once and for all, in two quick 'chops', the 9-inch nail that rises like a Penis from the Asses every time we attempt to slap it down. Others may make you similar offers to make the $$$ Big Bucks $$$, but our offer pays monumentally greater amounts of cash than sitting at home licking your own dick... THE CHALLENGE: To support our efforts to encourage Toto down a path that will lead to enough mental and emotional pressure to overcome the beneficial effects of his current medication and result in his increasing vulnerability to the violent manifestations of his medical disability to the point where he finally 'snaps,' and strikes out in a blind rage of senseless violence that will finally allow the Canadian Justice system to incarcerate him in a place where his presence will not be an affront to normal, decent Canadians who are willing to believe that Louis Riel acted alone, as long as we allow them to continue to debate endlessly on CBC radio on how to end the never-ending debates on CBC radio, and finally take some action on what are essentially inconsequential matters. OUR PLEDGE: To continue our efforts to pressure Toto through illegal violations of his Charter Rights and to provide those who choose to participate in our assault on this particular citizen by providing information as to known vulnerabilities which can be used to exploit his weaknesses. YOUR *WINNING* ROLE: To support and encourage Toto in manifesting, to the fullest extent possible, the moral outrage that comes naturally from a lifetime of watching growing authoritarian tyranny in all aspects of Canadian society. To echo and validate the impulsive outbursts of emotional and physical violence which is endemic among those with his type of medical disability. THE KEYS TO SUCCESS: While we continue to harass Toto at every step, seeking to criminalize and socially stigmatize him for his values and beliefs, you, as a CypherPunk, can encourage him to dwell upon the injustices to which he is subjected, in the name of normality. While we continue to illegally and arrogantly confiscate his property, denying him use of the tools he uses to improve his knowledge of his medical condition, and to help maintain mental and emotional balance through creative expression and physical functionality, you, as a CypherPunk, can make a point of reminding him that even if we are forced, at some point, to cease our illegal harassment of him, that we have endless government resources available that enable us to continue harassing him as long as we desire. While we continue to pressure Toto to submit to our attempts to suppress his right to freedom of expression, you, as a CypherPunk, can point out to him the debasement and oppression that is involved in submitting to our tyranny. The key to living life comfortably, as a Sheeple, lies in avoiding undue reflection upon the lies and injustices that are part of the daily menu of a government and society geared toward the worship and furtherance of money and power. Defective humans who are incapable of hypnotically ignoring the the lies, hypocrisy and injustice around them need to be removed from society in order to ensure the efficient functioning of the more obedient Sheeple. BONUS: Any CypherPunk who is able to contribute to our efforts to the extent that enough pressure is applied to the weak points of Toto's medical condition to result in him completely snapping and blindly striking out at random against those who have no part in his persecution (as opposed to merely striking back at those who are violating his human rights) will receive a share of any royalties that may result from book and movie script sales. When encouraging Toto in viewing it as his right and duty to launch a mindless, violent assault on the world at large, keep in mind that chainsaw massacres have the potential to be big money makers in the news and entertainment media industry, and senseless slaughter of innocent children is a proven winner in maximizing audience share. Remember: Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution a damn profitable business.

WE'LL PAY CA$H FOR YOUR DEAD INDIANS !!!
by RCMP HateMailer 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

~ MAD MOUNTIE INDIAN TRADING POST ------------------------------- Despite the comparative ease with which members of the law enforcement community are able to avoid penalties or legal punishment for murdering Wagon-Burners under the cover of a government-issued assassins badge, there still remains a small minority of policemen who are not comfortable with the moral implications of taking another human life lightly, but who don't want to suffer the stigmatism of not having a human trophy mounted on their office wall. This translates into $$$ BIG BUCKS $$$ for those who work in mortuaries, or who are lucky enough to hit a Wagon-Burner with their vehicle in a remote location where they can pop the body into the trunk. The Mad Mountie Indian Trading Post will pay top dollar for Wagon-Burner carcasses without noticeable tread marks, and a special bonus to those who bring in a mother and child combination suitable for mounting in the currently popular "Dave's Double" configuration. Carcasses that bear a significant resemblance to famous Wagon-Burners such as Louis Riel, Sitting Bull and Geronimo will be sold at the monthly Officers Only Auction.
