Hi folks, I'm a newbie so I my be in a wrong place,. Anyway, can someone tell me what kind of program(MSDOS/WINDOWS) encrypts file(s) and as a result, it makes a file with ".sec" extension. The result file contains a header string "PNCICRYPT". Thanks. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

NRA support for crypto [was Rivest's Wheat & Chaff - A crypto alternative]

I'm just not sure one is really a cryptographer till one is spending the majority of their time doing it and earning a living (or a lot of respect) due to the quality of the work produced. i.e dabbling in cryptography != I've made significant contributions to the state of the art (I know you have made useful contributions to other parts of the security world).

Effectively letting them control the landscape of the debate, by implanting into the public's minds that guns equal cryptography. Ok. You now have a situation where all strong cryptography is out-lawed (err, when was the last time you purchased a A42 tank cannon?) domestically, everything requires export permits (wadda ya mean I can't post my 10 gauge to Zurich without a license?!) and weak cryptography is exposed to a whole host of restrictions, including key size limitation (small arms only), speed limitations (it's dangerous to be able to encrypt too many messages quickly and automatically), usage registration (1 32 bit 8 round IDEA cipher and 2 40 bit barrel-loaded RC4's in farmer Jones' bedroom), cooling off periods (can't let people encrypt on a 'whim), exclusion of un-desirables (you want a crypto license and you haven't been in the state 3 months/had a psychiatric illness/were convicted of an offence/are under the age of 21/listen to NPR?!), necessity (I need that there 56 bit 8 rounder for rabbit 'crypting; I had to encrypt, officer, in a suburban environment - it was self defence against hardened criminal hackers!). > Cryptography is a tool for liberty!

Breaking cryptography saved lives in the war, this is extensively documented over hundreds of clearly defined cases [see Kahn's epic work]. How many lives both-sides using cryptography saved is intangible. I suspect the completely unreal situation of all-sides having open communications would have saved a truly huge number of lives. > >> I will give up one time pad when you pry it from my cold dead > >> left hand.

Re: Deniable Cryptography [was winnowing, chaffing etc]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- On 3/28/98 5:53 PM, mgraffam(a)mhv.net (mgraffam(a)mhv.net) passed this wisdom: >In this case, I figure that their best option is to beat Alice >everyday forever or until she dies.

So, the only way for Alice to win is to do >the impossible (because this is reality, not TV) and that is to >grab the rubber hose and beat them with it. The whole point is that since such a system offers no way to verify that Alice has indeed at any point given them 'everything' she has to tell, they will keep beating Alice; Alice, recognizing this at the outset has no reason to give them anything because she knows that since she cannot prove she has given them everything they will beat her again and again no matter what she does. The idea of successive keys unlocking more and more important data means that she can chose to give them some of her keys and then just grit out the beatings til they either develop conscience (unlikely), lose patience, (more likely), or figure they have gotten all there is to get. While this method guarantees a beating, it really does offer the best chance of getting away with the withholding of the most secure keys. The only chink in the system would be independent knowledge from a coworker or some such that there is more there. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0 Charset: noconv iQEVAwUBNR2H/z7r4fUXwraZAQFbUgf/V97xgxpNs0wIcvUvoUK0p4gShYrzqDRm qXMz6rVTwMKNhBF/0Jdsfu8PMq7M6ZoU051I5FqYEgI2uaqUMxoPx9qjrGOJnOv3 pXr5usa4rRVv5k7mQOJjd1zXXbcJNo6QWWk35zbLS5ecXQgN98Ex2DgApxACzKin 6+rpaTPFzOaktIzSVvM0on2TcC7ifkhkzDjsqIYx3b3gp73p+kzlWgkxngSM2rXZ Od2eEQDSJDnQc4n5DU7xxmwQ5qxz5GCcQiONHkL4pXSHvkbvGkNkPS8Ms/hsF2nJ SiSlmoYQBem3YB/Ik1UEFrqOhRispsYU9NAgii7EtqyAReEnYMI1gQ== =0JND -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Brian B.

CypherPunks -- The Early Years Part II
by Toto 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Eric Hughes, secretly writing Prologue 15/0 of SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS, quoted L.M. Boyd as saying: Among black bears, a mother rules a territory. When her daughter is a year and a half old, the mother assigns a portion of the territory to said daughter. This doesn't happen to the black bear son. When he's about three years old, he's just flatout driven off the property. Look, there's one down at the end of the bar, saying, "My mommy kicked me out when I was three." ~~~~ A Toto To Be Or Not To Be Named Earlier <toto(a)sk.sympatico.ca> (aka - F. Bacon)

Among other things, the statement notes: "Global rating or labeling systems squelch the free flow of information: Efforts to force all Internet speech to be labeled or rated according to a single classification system distorts the fundamental cultural diversity of the Internet and will lead to domination of one set of political or moral viewpoints. Such systems will either be easy to use and not have enough categories for all cultures or it will have so many categories to cater for all cultures that it will be unusable. These systems are antithetical to the Internet and should be rejected." A full report on the OECD meeting and GILCs presentation will appear in the next Alert. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [B] ROUNDUP OF GLOBAL INTERNET ISSUES [B1] Africa [B1.1] Sudan's Muslim Sects Want Internet Ban Islamic clerics, in recent calls, have focused their ire on Sudan's single Internet Service Provider, Sudanet. Inter Press Service quotes Mohamed Salih Hassan, a cleric of the influential Ansar Muslim sect, who sees the Internet as "pollutive" and fears that Sudanese youth are in jeopardy: "The Muslim people should respect the faith, and not allow such information to reach their families. If an uncontrollable system like the Internet is introduced in society it will be very difficult for us to preach the Kingdom of Allah." The battle to ban the Internet will be difficult, however. The newspaper interviewed people already connected to the Internet; one, who used an alias because he feared repercussions, said: "The Internet is not against anybody. It is a new information system that feeds the world with information . . . . The Internet will bring peace to all of us. It makes me feel like I am living in a world without borders." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [B1.2] Ghana Brings Internet to People While most people in Ghana do not have access to their own computers (because of the combined problems of illiteracy, poverty and weak electrical supplies), they will soon have access to the Internet. Several Internet Service Providers are looking for ways to bring the Internet to the average Ghanaian, through channels that people are already familiar with: communication centers that offer secretarial, word-processing, telephone and fax services. Inter Press Service reports "Africa Online will create a domain for each of the participating communications centers. The center, in turn, will be free to create E-mail addresses for its customers, who can then send and receive messages from their address at fixed costs." ISPs are also looking to provide access to school children. Network Computer Systems, another ISP, has recently offered to provide free Internet connections for a year to 100 high schools around the country.

Reuters quoted Information and Arts Minister George Yeo's address to parliament where he said that a software package, like Netnanny was "in the interest of cleaner, more sanitized internet service." A few days after that speech, Bill Gates said, during a one-day trip to the country: "I have no doubt Singapore, given it is a forward-looking country . . . will avoid doing something that will be a major roadblock."

To officials in the predominantly Moslem country, this presents problems. The nation's censors already take pains to keep movies free from "sex scenes" and magazines bare-breastless. The Associated Press quotes Junid Megat Ayob, Consumer Affairs Minister, who wants stricter controls on the Internet because he sees his mission as keeping youth from "poisoning their minds with filth." To aid in his mission, Cybercafes must now post with authorities about US$5,100 to ensure that their computers remain free from pornography. If the Cafes allow access to sexually explicit material, the government would confiscate the money.

The Television and Licensing Authority (TLA) put the "Smarties" candy site on a list of 1,000 sites which it deemed unfit for children. CNET quoted Raymond Yip, of TLA: "We need to investigate the case. It is probably a typing error on our part."

Besides changing the way persons register Internet Domain Names, a US-based corporation would administer the names and subject any disputes to US law. Fears are that the plan would "effectively ensure US jurisdiction over trademark issues and dispute resolution processes," said Senator Richard Alson, the Minister for Communications, the Information Economy and the Arts, in a press release. He added: "We need to ensure that the views of Australian stake holders, and the Australian Government, are fully considered in decisions to reform the international system."

The European Commission has accused the US of desiring to keep the international network of computers under domestic control, and thereby, creating a monopoly. The European Report announced that "the EU and its Member States are calling for a re-balancing of interest and responsibilities in recognition of the Internet's international character." They want balanced and fair participation by the private sector in Internet management. In a "green paper" published in January, the US suggested that the private sector begin controlling essential pieces of the system, instead of the US government. The "essential pieces" are "generic top-level domains": for example, ".net," ".org," and ".com." The Deutsche Presse-Agentur quotes Professor of Computer Science, Werner Zorn of the University of Karlsruhe in Germany: "The U.S. government is trying to prevent foreign dominance on the Internet." Another motive, adds Zorn, is retaining a lucrative source of income. Today, US-based Network Solutions charges $100 per domain name registered.

Duma deputy, Y.M. Nesterov, however, suggested an amendment excluding any mention of "computer information" from the bill. Furthermore, the chair of the committee preparing the bill, displayed some interest in the Internet question. The Communication Committee will examine that and other amendments to the "mass media" bill and draft a second bill for final hearing. As of yet, nothing has been announced.

But in many situations, the Internet continues to provide detailed and timely reports. The Scotsman reports that Web sites publish, without the "benefit" of censorship, and post eyewitness accounts and pictures of "men, women, and children with eyes gouged out, throats cut, and grenade and gunshot wounds." The Internet accounts guarantee that traditional sources of information will not dictate the spread of complete and accurate information; therefore, "there can be no doubt whatsoever of the veracity of claims made by Albanians in Kosovo."

Citing concerns with terrorists, the Mafia, and other criminal organizations, UK officials warned: "Where an encryption key is used for confidentiality purposes, it may be necessary for law enforcement agencies to have lawful access . . . .. either overt[ly] or covert[ly]." For an opposing view, European Voice quoted the Business Software Alliance: "Without strong encryption, businesses and individuals will not entrust their valuable proprietary information, creative content, and sensitive information to electronic networks. The result will be that the full potential for electronic commerce, personal growth and government efficiency and other benefits of the information society will be delayed or lost altogether." According to Yaman Akdeniz of Cyber-Rights & Cyber-Liberties (UK) the current UK policy is still not clear: "We will have to wait and see the new policy; and I, unfortunately, believe that it will still be a system which favors key escrow."

The first was Senator John McCain's (which would limit student access to constitutionally protected speech in schools and libraries) and the other was Senator Dan Coats's (which would censor legitimate adult speech). McCain's bill requires schools and libraries, which receive federal subsidies for Internet connections, to install filtering software. Senator Conrad Burns, however, offered an amendment that would not require the use of filtering software, but would require that schools have some kind of Internet policy which shields students from sexually explicit material. Senator Coats's bill would censor commercial distribution of "harmful material" to people under 17 years of age. Senator Dan Wyden, the sole dissenter on the Coats bill, criticized Coats's attempt as a "one size fits all" model.

We certainly hope it would be done, even on a voluntary basis." Freeh added: "Uncrackable encryption allows, and will continue to allow with increasing regularity, drug lords, terrorists, and even violent gangs to communicate about their criminal intentions with impunity." The ACLU challenged these scare tactics with "Big Brother in the Wires": http://www.aclu.org/issues/cyber/wiretap_brother.html +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [B4.3] FBI Rethinks Encryption Position, For Now The FBI has had a long history of arguing against strong encryption. Nevertheless, on March 17th, a Justice Department official, Robert Litt, the deputy assistant attorney general of the criminal division, remarked to a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on the constitutional issues raised by government encryption controls: "We are not looking for any mandatory controls domestically at this time." The CyberTimes reported that, for now, he/the FBI/the Clinton administration is "retreating from legislation that would give 'law enforcers access to encrypted computer data and communications.'"

Earlier this month, Governor Gary Johnson signed a bill that suffers from the same constitutional defects that caused the Supreme Court to strike down the Federal Communications Decency Act in June of 1997. In a letter to Johnson, Barry Steinhardt, president of EFF (a GILC founding member) wrote, "the bill is patently unconstitutional and represents a threat to freedom of expression, not only in New Mexico, but across the country."

In a press release, ACP stated that it "will implement a multi-million dollar campaign to demonstrate to members of Congress and administration officials that a fair encryption policy is not just a computer issue. It's a privacy issue. It's a consumer issue. It's a medical records issue. It's a taxpayer protection issue. It's a crime deterrent issue. It's a jobs issue. It's a competitive issue. In an open letter, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Electronic Privacy Information Center said, (W)e believe that the ACP will be an important ally in the ongoing effort to protect personal privacy in the digital age," the letter says, "and we look forward to working together towards a complete and unrestricted repeal of the current controls on the export of strong cryptography and to resist any domestic restrictions on the use of encryption."

It's waving and saying, 'Hey, hey, I'm a troublemaker. Put me on a list.'" But I am going to be rescinding my social security number formally, writing to the Social Security Administration and saying, "Nope. Not my number, folks." It may be a grandstanding gesture, but that number is a slave's number, and I'm getting rid of it, pure and simple. Now a lot of people -- a lot of people _here_ -- are doing these things already. I know people right here in this group who haven't paid taxes in years. I know people in this group who don't have a driver's license, who _have_ rescinded their social security numbers, or whatever, and I think that's great. In fact Rick White came up with a really good term the other day when we were talking. He talked about "individual secession" as a means of combating the government. We were talking about ways of avoiding violence, and he suggested "individual secession" as a means of accomplishing that. I think it's great, and I think we all need to do it. But I also think that the result of quiet secession -- of just quietly withdrawing your consent, your support, your participation in the system -- the result of that is something like what happened in the Soviet Union. Eventually the system collapses, but what's left? You have black markets. We like black markets, because they're free markets. But they are corrupt markets that are run by gangsters, eventually. We need free, open markets. We need to declare freedom and live it publicly, instead of by hiding. I think individual secession is good, but we need to make noise doing it. And not polite noise. We libertarians are very polite people, very well-mannered. We sign our little pledge, and we do the right thing, because that's the kind of people we are. But we need to make noise. We need to say, "I'm withdrawing. I'm withdrawing, and here's why, and come get me." And that goes against everything I personally believe. One reason you never heard of Claire Wolfe until six months ago was that although I've been an activist, I have tried to keep a low profile and tried to be really quiet, because I didn't want the IRS knocking on my door, or kicking it down as the case may be. I didn't want the ATF coming in to say hello at four in the morning. But I don't care any more. I _do_not_ care any more, and I think we're coming to a confrontation point anyway, and if that's what happens, so be it. I think there are a lot of other things that you can all do and probably all _are_ doing; probably a lot of you are ahead of me. That's why I like coming down to Arizona; I learn from what people in Arizona are doing. But certainly, withdraw to the extent that you can from the banking system. Set your political priorities -- don't waste your time on things that aren't working. Like for me, I was always always sitting down writing stupid letters to my congressperson, as if my congressperson cared. I felt like I was doing something. But one of the things I've learned since those days is to do is prioritize. And that means don't even bother any more. Don't even talk to them any more. I think everybody should be studying warfare, in one way or another. Whether that's the personal warfare of going up to Gunsite and learning how to shoot in combat situations or whether that's studying _The Art of War_, reading books by Mao, or Che Guevara, or Sun-Tzu. I think we all need to be doing that, even if we don't want the confrontation. None of us _want_ the confrontation, but I think we'd better be prepared for it in those ways. I think we should all be getting out of government jobs -- with one exception. With one exception, and this is something I've just been thinking about. I've decided that over the last thirty years some _wonderful_ libertarian has been running the IRS' computer system. And I say, "Thank you out there, whoever you are, and keep it up! Good job!" So anybody who's in a position to do unto the ATF or unto the EPA what has been done to the IRS, definitely go for it. One of the things that we can do, whether we're looking for confrontation or not, is to establish some virtual communities. And here's where Michael Voth comes in. Michael of the Coconino libertarians, and Kevin Burt of the Laramie County libertarians of Cheyenne Wyoming, cooked up this notion of "cousin counties". You know how we have "sister cities" all around the world? Well, we now have a "cousin countyship" between Laramie and Coconino libertarians. We don't exactly know what we're going to do with it yet, but we have our own "virtual community", and it is somewhat of an act of...well I don't think we care enough to _defy_ the national hierarchy, but we're going to make connections despite the hierarchy. Some day we may need a "safe house" in Coconino; some day they may need a "safe house" in Laramie County. Some day we may need to be stations on an underground railroad for getting patriots to safety. We may need to be stations on a supply line, and we have that connection established. We have a relationship with each other already, and we'll do what seems appropriate with it. That, unfortunately, brings us to the national party, or higher-up-the-line parties. I think -- and this is just a personal viewpoint -- that the best thing that the state party could be, or the best thing that the national party could be for individual libertarians is a support group to help us establish networks with each other; to help us keep connections with each other; to help us learn from each other; what works and what doesn't work; what did they try over in Alabama that might work in Nevada, or that was a disaster and might not work anywhere? Your state organization is great for that, I think, to the extent that I know it. Unfortunately you're one of the few that is. And unfortunately, of course, we have National. The national party. The commissariat of Washington, D.C. What is the national party? It is a top-down fund-raising organization that is into telling us what we should do, not learning from us and helping to spread it around. And certainly some of the things that we should _not_ do, according to National...we should not have people like L. Neil Smith at our gatherings. He has been declared "unfit" by the national party. And I hope you all recognize that. [Applause for Smith, who was sitting in the audience.] Also, a year or so ago, those of us who got the "Libertarian Volunteer" got an issue that listed the "twelve most terrible things" that have ever been done at local party meetings. One of them was to discuss "Should There Be A Libertarian Party?" I mean, that's shocking. How _dare_ we talk about such a thing? So here we are at a time when we need individualism, autonomy, quick action and networking, being saddled with this sort of dinosaur with the little pea-brain up here in Washington, DC, trying to communicate down to us, thinking we're its tail or something. Yhey are so busy trying to be like the other folks in Washington, D.C. that they are very quickly forgetting that they _are_ libertarians. But I'm sure they're quite good at fund-raising; I've hear wonderful tales about their fund-raising. In fact, something quite interesting that I heard the other day indirectly from Neil: Harry Browne is criticizing _me_ as one of the people who was damning him for his fund-raising and odd campaign spending practices. Well, I never did. I would have. I would have been happy to, because of what I have heard from Vin Suprynowicz and Neil Smith and other people. But it didn't happen. So, National is giving us enemies lists and fund-raising corruption, among other pleasures of politics. Heck, they're headquartered in the Watergate, after all! What are we going to do with these people? They think that success is raising a lot of money whether it goes to any good cause or not.

Wouldn't you? Who wants to be favorably mentioned by people who think that every bit of dissent is _hate_speech_? Who think that anyone who is not a Republican or a Democrat or in the mainstream is some sort of crazy? No. No thank you. Hunh-unh. No thanks. We try very hard to be acceptable. The national party is trying to be acceptable and there's nothing wrong with that. It's human. I mean we want to be accepted from the moment we're born. But the question is, to whom do we want to be acceptable? I don't want to be acceptable to the same people that the national party wants to be acceptable to. I want to be acceptable to you guys. And I want you to be acceptable to me, because we are going to need each other some day. I want to be with you when we prepare. I don't care whether you're preparing even for the same eventuality that I'm preparing for. I don't care if you're a pacifist. There is room for many differences. But we've got a role to play, and it's we, not national, who are going to play that role. Something is going to happen. I wish I could tell you what it was. I've been talking to people and everybody's going through the same thing -- "Well, I think it might be this", "I think it might be that", "I think it might be the other" -- we don't know. But it's coming. Whether it breaks with the suddenness of an earthquake, or whether it comes like a storm that you can see rolling toward you for hours, it _is_ coming. And the big question for all of us, when this hits, is, "Do I want to be polite and acceptable or _do_I_want_to_be_FREE?" Free, of course! I mean, it's easy, right? It's easy! So let's do it! I have absolute confidence you guys are going to be _able_ to do it. And when it all comes down, I want to be here, if not physically in Arizona, I want to be in your virtual community. So thank you for your guts. And thank you for having me here. And thank you for being brave enough to talk about things that National doesn't want you to talk about, and to do things that National doesn't want you to do. My congratulations and gratitude to all of you. ***** NOTE on the health care database: I have since been fiercely corrected on this point. I may have been overstating the present danger of such a database, though I believe the danger remains grave for the near future. The health care bill (available from the Library of Congress' Thomas web site as HR 3101 or Public Law 104-191) establishes a federal database for reporting medical fraud and abuse. I don't believe this is the problem, however it was part of the confusion. Later, in Sections 1171-1175, the bill outlines a plan for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to set standards for the electronic transmission of all health care data. These "standards" do not constitute a database, and I thank the critic who corrected me on that issue. However, the secretary is directed to set one standard _by which all medical data will be electronically communicated_. The standard must include a "unique identifier" for every individual whose medical information is ever transmitted (Sec. 1173). In doing that, Congress is clearly allowing the Clinton administration to create a de facto single, nationwide system to which federal (and other) bureaucrats will have easy access, almost certainly via our social security numbers. If this does not rapidly become the feared federal database, it will nevertheless allow the government, researchers and others to run rampant through the various private or state databases that will use the federally defined standard. I regret any confusion. But I urge you to keep your eyes open and your heads up...not that it will do you much good when bureaucrats are secretly slurping your medical data -- law or no law -- into their computers.

That's a line a lot of you have become familiar with, and to the extent that other people have also become familiar with it, it has a lot to do with Arizona libertarians pushing that message. Well, I wrote that a year and a half ago, the book was published about six months ago, and now here we are, April 19, 1997. Is it time to "shoot the bastards" yet? This is a question a lot of us have been pondering. We signed our oath, most of us, we signed our pledge not to initiate violence. We're the good guys. We know that. But I have heard so many people -- good, responsible, ordinary people -- talking about whether we might be reaching the time that we should "shoot the bastards". I think one of the best comments on this came from Vin Suprynowicz, who interviewed me when the book was published. Actually, of all the things said in the interview Vin made the best comment; he said that we have reached the time when it is _morally_ right to "shoot the bastards", but it is not yet _practical_ to do so. I do believe that a fight is inevitable, whether that's a fight in the streets or the trenches, or whether that is some sort of confrontation that may not involve arms but may nevertheless involve violence and head-to-head action. I think that's inevitable, and I think more and more people are coming to the conclusion that it is. April 19th, as you all know, is a day in history when many people _have_ taken up arms, when they have been _forced_ to take up arms. Peaceable people in Lexington and Concord, desperate people in the Warsaw ghetto. Even when they had no hope, or little hope, they took up arms. But here we stand, and although a lot of us have arms with us, or not far from us, we're not ready to "take up arms" yet. But I hope we're preparing ourselves. I hope we're at least thinking about it. In the last year and a half, since I originally wrote those frustrated, angry words, things have gotten a hell of a lot worse. And it's almost scary how little the disaster that we're in the middle of has been acknowledged. For instance, just four -- I don't want to call them laws or acts of legislation -- four abominations that Congress has come up with in the time since I originally wrote those words. We've got a federal database of all employed people, or, that is, all people who get conventional jobs. That's been done in the name of "tracking deadbeat dads". However, you might be a single mother with five kids you're taking good care of; you might be a single guy who never intends to get married. You're going in that database. Why? What does that have to do with "deadbeat dads"? I don't know. I can't figure it out. Along those same lines, we now have pilot projects being started, under which you cannot get a job unless your employer first gets permission from the Social Security Administration by scanning your card through a reader connected to a database in Washington, DC. Isn't that cute? Some Social Security bureaucrat decides whether or not you can ever get a job in this country. We've also got a medical health care database that will be on line in about a year. This was part of the "moderate" Kennedy-Kassebaum health care act -- you'll be pleased to know that this is "moderate". Everything about your medical history will go into this database, including speculation on the part of your doctor, who may observe that you're an "armed and dangerous wacko". He's not going to tell you that, but it goes in your records and goes in the database. (NOTE: Please see comment at the end of this transcript.) The fourth one that is really for me the "line in the sand" issue is the national ID card that we have just begun to hear about in the last couple of months. Has everybody heard something about that? Well, for the few who haven't I'll just review quickly. At the end of the 104th Congress there were about two paragraphs added into several hundred pages of legislation that requires that by October, 2000, all states will be issuing driver's licenses that you must have your Social Security card to get one, and they will have certain "security features". These are not defined in the law, but they may include: retinal scans; fingerprint scans; other data on your driving history, health history, criminal history, so on. (NOTE: The U.S. Secretary of Transportation is currently in the process of writing the regulation on this.) And by October 2006, you will not be able to get _any_ government service at _any_ level without having one of these driver's licenses. You will not be able to get a passport. If your local utility company is the government you will not be able to get water to your house, or electricity to your house, and so on. My Christian friends, of course, are calling this the "Mark of the Beast", and I don't think they're wrong. I think they're right. So those four things, among many, many others, have all been snuck in on us lately. But the reason I pick these four is something that a friend pointed out to me. This friend says, "These four are slave laws." Many other laws that have been imposed upon us recently are bad laws, but _these_are_slave_laws_. They all enable the federal government to track its property -- you, and you, and you, and me -- its property. They can monitor our health just the way that farmers monitor the health of their cattle. If they don't think we're being properly productive they can deny us the jobs, or they can make sure that we're in a job that they like. It's here, now, that we have to stop this. I hope we can stop it without violence, but we do HAVE to stop it. What I'd like to focus on today are some things that I think we as individuals can do, and some of the things that I think that libertarian party organizations can, or perhaps should, do to prepare for the hard times that are going to come when the day arises that we say, "No! It stops here! It stops now!" I wish for just this little moment that we were all a bunch of Marxists, or Democrats, or something, because then I could say, "Comrades! You _must_ do this! Comrades! You _shall_ do that!" But we're libertarians, and it's only, "Hey! You'll do what you want to do; I'll do what I want to do. You'll do what fits your personality; I'll do what fits my personality." And that is the way it has to be. That's our strength and our weakness. But there are a couple of things that I would say that I think everybody here, and everybody who professes to be a libertarian _should_do_. One is to get the income tax out of your own life, however you have to do it. Get it out! In every other presentation I've ever given before I've said, "Oh I understand that if you have a regular job, or if you have children, or if you have a lot of nice possessions it's riskier for you to do it. But I'm coming to the point where, I'm sorry, we can't feed the beast. We've got to stop feeding it. That's all there is to it. All of our great professions of principle in the world are nothing if we don't stop paying the ATF, paying the FBI, paying the IRS. The other thing that I hope everyone will do is resist this national ID in some way or another. Refuse to get the driver's license, drive without it, whatever you have to do. Refuse to give the information, protest, scream, rescind your social security number, whatever. >>> Continued to next message --- * OLX 2.2 * It's dangerrous to be right when the government is wrong --- GEcho 1.00 # Origin: Texas Patriot PRN-Dallas (972)495-6699 (176:200/200) GPTH: 200/200 0 100/0 500/0 14 GATE: 1:273/304.0@fidonet 35188aac * Origin: FidoNet <-> PRNet EchoGate!
