Blood Sausage -- SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!!
by Linda Reed--PCC West Campus CSC 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

BloodSausage HogLog - SPACE ALIENS HIDE M DRUGS!!! ___________________________________________________ "The lives of Frank, Gambino, Morel and Serafini ended on the gallows of Montreal's Bordeaux Jail on October 24, 1924. Valentino and Davis had their executions commuted at the last minute." "No one claimed Frank, Gambino and Valentino were among the half-dozen gunmen who ambushed the bank car, but prosecutorn R.L. Calder argued they were still guilty of murder because of the organized nature of the crime." ~Excerpts from "Blood Brothers" by Peter Edwards. MeTheSheeple was glad to learn that these vile, criminal scumbags, fingered by the person who had actually planned and committed the crime, were held accountable for the actions alleged to them by the gang-leader whose life was spared in return for ratting out alleged coconspirators. I was particularly happy because I knew that the same high standards of justice would undoubtedly be applied to the criminal scum within the Canadian Justice System under whose PigSkin Umbrella the Montreal Mobsters ruled the streets and the citizens who walked them. "Testimony at the Frank robbery trial showed that police routinely sipped coffee with hoods and that Montreal's finest had been tipped off to the armoured car hold-up well in advance, but did nothing." Supreme Court of Canada Justice Louise Coderre (with a left-handed frog-tongue over the first 'e') said, "Vice has spread itself across the city with an ugliness that seemed assured of impunity." Rather than bore you with all of the details behind the criminal scumbag PigsWithBadgesAndGuns being also found 'GUILT OF MURDER BECAUSE OF THE ORGANIZED NATURE OF THE CRIME', I will just skip ahead in the book and report on the final outcome of <trumpets blare> JUSTICE <flags fly> in the case of the police and city officials discovered to have greased the wheels of organized crime in their activities of drug dealing, robbery, murder, etc. Hmmm....nope...nada....maybe...nope...nope... Surprise, surprise! It seems that, following the Coderre probe, "nothing happened that seriously threatened the criminals' take. The name of Cadiex Street was changed to de Bullion Street after a New ork play made the old name notorious, but along the same pavement the same crimes continued." Those without my cynical psychological make-up will undoubtedly be able to supply you with reasons as to just why the local citizens felt extremely 'served and protected' when they came to after being mugged and saw the new street signs, however, I will merely take a short break, here, have a good dump, and wipe my butt with yet another page of the Criminal Code of Canada. And Silk Badges..?: "I know who the real public enemies are. But they are men who have the respect of the public; men who wear silk hats, who are apparently of standing in the community." ~1930's Montreal MobBuster, J.J. Penverne (with no frog-licks in his name...) Peter Edwards provides the standard journalistic explaination as to how "The term 'Mafia,' in its truest form, refers only to organized crime in western Sicily." and explains how it has been expanded to encompass any pair of teenagers throwing a rock through a window, as long as one of them has an Italian name. He neglects to explain, as some journalists do, that the word "Mafia" is becoming increasingly generic, now including the 'Lebanese Mafia', the 'Columbian Mafia', etc. *All* journalists, however, seem unable to explain why they continue to avoid naming the continuing organized forces of armed domination over citizens of *all* ethnic groups the 'Government Mafia'... "Blood Brothers" is not the first book to point out that at the heart of the "honoured society of Calabria" lies the concept of "omerta" (with a right-handed strand of spaghetti over the 'a'). Nor is it the first book to fail to point out that omerta's "double code of conduct that set different moral codes for dealings with those inside and outside one's family circle" applies not only to Officially Recognized Criminal ScumBag Organizations, but also to almost every 'gang' larger than a Cult Of One from the PTA to the CIA to the USA. 'Omerta' decrees that when the president of the PTA molests a child, when the head of the CIA commits treason, when the president of the USA declares that US citizens will continue to face imprisonment for exporting the same strength of encryption that their government is sharing with Communist China, that a street somewhere be renamed, while everything else continues on pretty much as before. Don't hold your breath waiting for mainstream journalists to upset the BadAppleCart by referring to the 'PTA Mafia' when they deem that your child should be forced to attend school with a child who can murder them by biting them, while teaching them that you are a dangerous psycho because of your gun ownership; or to the 'FBI Mafia' when they murder a mother and child in attempts to cover their previous unannounced, botched armed assault on a citizen being charged with civil crimes in an attempt to persuade him to invent crimes against his friends, whether they were Jewish or not; or to the 'Government Mafia' when they spend millions of dollars investigating and/or charging Phil Zimmerman, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Jim Bell, knowing that the bottomless taxpayer pockets funding their legally unjustified harassment will guarantee at least moderately successful results, even if the end result is dropping the matter when the multi- million dollar stench begins blowing back toward DC. Do not expect mainstream journalists to refer to the 'ASPCA Mafia' when they release a hastily composed 'history' of TruthMongrel as a rabid, sharp-toothed, human baby conniseur, after HeOrShe is cut down by FBI gunfire on Mayonaisse Mountain during attempts to arrest the Author on 'Dog At Large' charges filed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Bienfait, Sask. Silk? We Don't Need No Stinking Silk...: The multi-facted PigsEar WebSites that are increasingly being turned into InterNet Cult of One SilkPurses through the increasingly efficient and powerful shareware digital bread-slicers available to Jane and Joe Sheeple in their quest to serve either God, Mammon, Dog or Mammy, according to their prediliction, have the capacity, if uncensored and uncontrolled, of allowing the individual to rekindle the creative spark of individuality that reminds them that the word 'WE' should only be used by Kings, Priests, and people with tapeworms. People with the ability to think for themselves; people who know that if Timothy McVeigh was really the 'Muenster' that the mainstream media claimed, then he would have been in the 'Adams Family' movie; people who demand to know if Monica Lewinski has a 'bent' pussy; people with conspiring minds, who want to 'snow'; people who are not afraid to stand up and cheer for the Officially Recognized BadGuys on 'Cops' and 'World's Scariest Innocent Bystander Threatening Police Chases'; people watching 'World's Dumbest Criminals' who slap their forehead and say, "I hate it when that happens..." People who read the Bienfait Nutly News.

Jim Bell Rearrested

JY note: The message below has not been authenticated. The writer claimed no knowledge of the arrest at the time I spoke with him, which was after the date and time of the arrest given in the message. It's possible he was withholding the information for publication or by request of confidentiality. The message may be a forgery written after seeing the messages at http://jya.com/jdb062198.htm. The IRS has sent spam concerning Jim Bell before: http://jya.com/irs-spam.htm. From: Anonymous 3 Date: Mon, 22 Jun 1998 23:31:33 EDT To: jya(a)pipeline.com Subject: Jim Bell and anon John: This is [a journalist] whom you called today about Bell. He was arrested at his parents' home in Vancouver Monday about 1:07 a.m. PDT by five federal marshals in two cars. The agents went in with guns drawn and came out with Bell's elderly parents, with whom they talked for a while. A few minutes later, they brought out Jim, who was handcuffed in front, dressed in a blue T- shirt and slacks. He was put in the back of a red Jeep, and then leg chained by an agent. (I tried to ask one of the agents if Jim was going to be taken directly to Tacoma - my assumption - but the agent was a typical marshals service jerk and just told me to stay away.) Jim was in the backseat for about 20 minutes and then two agents came out and drove him away - after one agent accidentally set off the Jeep "wa-wa" siren - ...just as TV arrived. the other three agents remained in the house, looking for "evidence," i assume. I expect him to appear before a federal magistrate in Tacoma tomorrow morning. His federal defender still has not been provided any paper by the govt. so, now yr up to date. on another matter, I was curious abt the anonymous info sent you. i've been trying to get an anon remailer for some time, but have been unsuccessful. got any tips, advice or help?

NSA Declassifies Algos
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Thanks to Ed Roback, NIST: http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Jun1998/b06231998_bt316-98.html DoD Press Release, June 23, 1998: No. 316-78 IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 23, 1998 (703)695-0192(media) (703)697-5737(public/industry) ENCRYPTION FORMULAS DECLASSIFIED The Department of Defense today announced the decision by the National Security Agency to declassify both the Key Exchange Algorithm and the SKIPJACK encryption algorithm used in the FORTEZZA(tm) personal computer card. FORTEZZA(tm) provides security at the desktop in the Defense Message System and other DoD applications. This marks the first time that the NSA has declassified such information and made it commercially available. This declassification is an essential part of the Department of Defense's efforts to work with commercial industry in developing reasonably priced computer protection products. This declassification decision will enable industry to develop software and smartcard based security products, which are interoperable with FORTEZZA(tm). The availability of such products will enhance the protection of DoD's sensitive but unclassified and critical non-mission communications. The decision to release SKIPJACK (an 80 bit encryption algorithm that is not extensible to higher key lengths) and KEA (a 1024 bit key exchange algorithm) is restricted to these particular algorithms, and does not apply to other classified NSA algorithms. The SKIPJACK and KEA algorithms and their source codes have been declassified pursuant to Executive Order 12958. Vendors interested in obtaining more information on this matter should contact the National Security Agency Public Affairs Office at 301-688-6524. [End] ----- Note: We called NSA Public Affairs who said that more information will be available tomorrow afternoon on NIST's Web site (no specific URL): http://www.nist.gov In the meantime NSA will respond to faxed questions; send to: Vanessa Talieri Office of Public Affairs National Security Agency Fax: 301-497-2844
