Court TV

Court TV informs me that they will hold the tape of the argument until a decision is reached and will only show it afterwards. Also, they won't send us the whole thing, even after they've aired the segment, only the parts that make it into their program. Cindy ************************ Cindy A. Cohn McGlashan & Sarrail, P.

[CANADIAN NUTLY NEWS-Bienfait, Saskatchewan]CINDY COHN, LEAD COUNSEL for the Bernstein free-speech encryption case, and part-time barmaid at the Coaldust Saloon, denied that her successful efforts to have Court TV release only footage that shows her "good side" conflicts with her client's interests. Swatting at the drunken hand of Louis Freeh as he made repeated attempts to grab her ass, hollering, "THIS is your GOOD SIDE, baby!", Cohn noted that the government was making claims that the solution to the DOD's admission of having made the physical and financial security of the nation and its citizens vulnerable to teenage hackers is to suppress the rights of the citizens to engage in free-speech. "If the government can engage in this type of deliberate masking of reality, then I should be able to hide my mole...dimple...", Cohn corrected herself. Scott McIntosh, appellate counsel for the Justice Department, who was drunkenly groping Freeh's ass while his attention was diverted, was trying to explain to local reportwhores that the basis of the U.S. government's case was not "prior restraint," but was, rather, "a preventative 'First Strike' against the danger of free speech in the hands of an unmonitored public." Louis Freeh, once again missing Cohn's tail end, but catching the tail end of McIntosh's statement, slapped him upside his head and screamed, "You're not supposed to tell them that, you fucking moron!" "John Gilmore, facing heated questions regarding his alleged anonymous death threat against the Ninth District Court judges, told reportwhores, "I'm not TruthMonger! I'm...Dimitri Vulis...yeah...and I'm dating Morgan Fairchild." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Canadian Nutly News is provided as a public service under the alleged auspices of the Electronic Forgery Foundation.

Notice the classic disinformation tactics that Gary Burnore is engaging in here. But notice that Gary was part of this "anti-remailer front" that used ALLEGED forgeries and "spam baiting" to get two remailers shut down. It is interesting that he now attributes the activities of himself and his associates at DataBasix with this unnamed "anti-remailer front". > That, IMO, is what you're up to.

Gary Burnore, Belinda Bryan <eridani(a)netcom.com>, William "Wotan" McClatchie <wmcclatc(a)primenet.com> seem to want privacy for themselves but at the same time they also want to be able to identify their critics. Strangely enough, several of Gary's non-anonymous critics have reported harassment, forged posts, spam-baiting, etc. Probably just a "coincidence", right? Which makes one wonder why Gary and Belinda wanted to get ahold of the logs from the Huge Cajones Remailer which would have identified anyone who ever sent or even received anonymous mail through that remailer. Gary and Belinda have consistently stonewalled that question. My guess is that they were counting on Jeff keeping that dirty little secret of theirs hidden. Helena Kobrin and the Church of Scientology weren't able to bully that information out of Jeff and neither were Gary, Belinda, and DataBasix, for the simple reason that Jeff was smart enough not to collect it in the first place!

feinstein and domestic crypto curbs
by landon dyer 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

here's the text of a letter that i snail-mailed to california's senator dianne feinstein in early september: ---------------- Landon Dyer September 8, 1997 Campbell, CA Senator Dianne Feinstein United States Senate 331 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senator Feinstein, I am writing this to you because of some statements you made last week in a Senate Judiciary committee on the subject of mandatory key escrow for domestic encryption products. To be frank: I was shocked and sickened by your statement that "nothing other than some form of mandatory key recovery really does the job" of preventing crime. I urge you to seek out experts in industry and talk to them about why this approach is fundamentally unworkable. I urge you to re-read 1984. I urge you to remember the abuses of the Hoover FBI. Mandatory key escrow is extremely dangerous stuff. I do not believe the government should have this power because of the enormous potential and temptation for its abuse. (Corruption does happen. Remember the case in California recently where DMV employees were selling driver's license information to supermarkets?). And any repository of escrowed keys would be a very attractive target for break-ins Mandatory key escrow would cripple important parts of our nation's software industry. Why should we do this just to make law enforcement's job a little easier? Americans need better, more ubiquitous encryption, not less, to protect us from crime. We don't need Big Brother, and that's exactly what mandatory escrow would give us. Sincerely, Landon Dyer Sr. Software Engineer ---------------- here's feinstein's reply, which i received a couple of days ago. i've transcribed it pretty carefully, and left the typos intact with [sic], any other typos are mine: ---------------- October 23, 1997 Dear Mr. Dyer: Thank you for contacting me regarding federal encryption policy. I appreciate your taking the time to write to me on this issues [sic]. It is important for me to hear from my California constituents as this debate continues. As you know, numerous legislative proposals have been put forth to amend or restructure encryption controls. Cryptographic, or encryption, software uses complex algorithms to scramble information, thus providing greater privacy for the information. I read your recent letter on encryption and believe that the attached San Jose Mercury News interview correctly states my views. As we both know, this is a complicated and difficult issue which affects many California constituencies. I am open to suggestions as to how vital privacy rights and public safety needs can be supported and protected. I value your opinion and appreciate you actively contributing to this legislative discusstion. As Congress proceeds to debate various encryption proposals, I look forward to a thorough review of this issue. While I want to promote business opportunity for U.S. firms I do not want to do so at the expense of law enforcement. Once again, thank you your [sic] correspondence. I hope that you will continue to share your thoughts and ideas with me. If I can be of further assistance, please to not hesitate to contact my Washington, D.C. office at 202/224-3841 With warmest personal regards, Sincerely yours, (signed) Dianne Feinstein Enclosure [enclosed: the 15-Sep-97 SJ Merc article on D.F.'s crypto curb support] -------------- nothing terribly surprising, really -- i wasn't expecting any response at all, though -landon

"National Cryptologic Strategy for the 21st Century": http://jya.com/nsa-ncs21.htm "UFO Documents Index" http://jya.com/nsa-ufo.htm "NSA's FOIA/PA Home Page" http://www.nsa.gov:8080/docs/efoia/ "National Vigilance Park" http://www.nsa.gov:8080/display/c130/ "During the Cold War period of 1945-1977, a total of more than 40 reconnaissance aircraft were shot down. The secrecy of the reconnaissance programs prevented recognition of the slain military personnel at the time of the incidents. Their loss was mourned by their fellow soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines in similar programs, but the fallen could not be accorded public honors. The end of the Cold War has allowed the United States to lift some of its security restrictions concerning the reconnaissance programs, permitting us at last to accord due recognition of the achievements and sacrifices of these intrepid military personnel, and to tell their stories.
