Official RCMP HateMailer Launched
by RCMP HateMailer 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

[Bienfait Nutly News]Dangerous Armed Thugs sitting in parked cars hiding in the alley behind the CoalDust Saloon, waiting to tax the citizens under the obscenely low breath-alcohol laws in place, celebrated the launching of the 'Official RCMP HateMailer' after the sudden and mysterious disasppearance of the 'Official RCMP Hate Page' at a Sympatico website. The unusually high number of vehicles and officers hanging around the small Saskatchewan town was attributed to a 24-hour watch on the former host of the vanished webpage, in the hope of catching him walking on the left side of the sidewalk and arresting him under authority of a law which applied only to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, when it was in force, and was recinded years ago. "We weren't notified of the recinding of the law." one of the waiting constables stated, smiling like a banshee. RCMP officers around the country were angered by what they regarded as trickery and betrayal by a scoundrel who had professed support for the concept of a website where officers could freely express their true thoughts, beliefs and feelings, under cover of their webpage being hosted by a known lunatic and forger, thus providing them with deniability in the event of great public outcry. An anonymous constable (whose home phone number is (306)388-2561) told a local reportwhore, as he had him standing on one foot, singing 'God Save The Queen' and skinning a live cat, blindfolded, "The average citizen expects us to harass the riff-raff, the poor, and the people we stole the land from, in order to keep them in their proper place, but the minute we try to give one another postive public support for our personal and group successes, all we get is a ration of shit." His partner, going through the blindfolded reportwhore's truck seat and pocketing the change, added, "You spend years doing the boring grunt work of oppressing the low-life, and suddenly, you get a chance to achieve one of the premiere experiences of your professional career. You get to whack out a WagonBurner. "But just try *bragging* about it." he continued, shaking his head sadly about the hypocritical criticism of the citizens who cry out to be protected from those with less money or social standing than themselves, and then turn around and cry 'shame' when those hired to do the job ask for their efforts to be appreciated. Mounties everywhere were outraged when the website was suddenly Yanked out of Canuck CyberSpace by an unknown entity. Speculation among the RCMP rank and file was that the website host had wiped out the website pages himself, and then concocted a wild conspiracy theory involving police abuse of power and the violation of free speech and the Canadian Charter of Rights. "That fucking asshole son-of-a-bitch is well known for taking facts which can be explained quite simply and using them to build some bizarre, inane story that reflects badly on those in positios of authority. "There was no huge, dark conspiracy to seize his computer and files. The Customs officer at Regway is thinking of buying a laptop, and he simply confiscated the man's computer so that he could try one out for a while before making a decision. The RCMP officers who drove down from Regina to break into his house were just making sure that the place was secure during his absence. They thought they should take his nephew's computer in order to find out if he had any illegally acquired Warez files, so that we could imprison the child and save him from a life of crime. "Conspiracy, my ass...it was just two separate instances of ordinary, everyday abuse of the citizens that he has magnified into some deep, dark plot in order to feed his paranoid fantasies." The general consensus among the drunken, licentious crowd gathered around the Video Lottery machines in the pub was that the man in question was "pretty much toast," since the Mounties 'always get their man,' as a result of many of them coming from small farming communities and having a great deal of experience in 'planting.' Some of average, small town alcoholics were of the opinion that the Official RCMP Hate Page was rather self-serving and vastly overblown, anyway. "That little glue-sniffer that the Mountie whacked out while he was clinging to his momma's skirt was pretty skinny...I doubt that he was worth more than fifty points, max." As I was leaving, the blindfolded reportwhore threw up on the shoes of the officer giving him the drunk-test, and those waiting in line to be humiliated and abused gave him an average of 9.6 for style, 9.8 for presentation, and a perfect 10 for artistic merit, since he had eaten an all-dressed pizza for dinner.

About Golf Balls

=====> 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.

Secure Cell Phones for State
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

U.S. State Dept Press Briefing today: Briefer: James Rubin Now, I have a piece of show-and-tell for you, which I do rarely around here. But I thought this was interesting enough, even for you cynical and jaded journalists. This is a secure cell phone. Lieutenant General Kenneth Minihan, Director of the National Security Agency, presented Secretary Albright with a bank of Motorola Cipher-Tac 2000 security modules to provide secure cellular communications. This state of the art secure voice cellular technology will offer the highest level of security wherever and whenever the Secretary and her top advisors need to protect their communications. So when you see us carrying this beast around, rather than the slim-line phones we usually like to use, you'll know that's because we're trying to have a secure call. That is not only for the obvious good reason that we want to make sure nobody is interfering, but we also want to make sure that nobody is making transcripts and passing them around for a variety of perfidious reasons. So this here is the original, first secure cell phone to be delivered to Secretary Albright, and we thought you guys might get a kick out of that. ----- Would anyone know the security technology of this unit and its support system? And how it compares to those of competitors in the US and outside?

Re: Gary Lee Burnore and His Anti-Privacy Zealots are on the Warpath!

Unfortunately, to meet the purpose means that > assholes are also given access to the service. Your own record of harassing remailers is well known, McClatchie. Calling remailer users "assholes" and calling for content-based censorship only underscores your anti-privacy agenda. If remailer users posted only what was popular and politically correct, there would be little need for remailers. One remailer operator who was forced to shut it down mentioned your name quite prominently, BTW, in providing details about the attack. > It was someone using a remailer to harass Wells Fargo management. Can you document this? I never read a single post from anyone claiming to speak for Wells Fargo management which has substantiated this. Nor did any of the remailer operaters involved mention having received such an official complaint from member of Wells Fargo's management. So all we have is you parroting Burnore's original unsubstantiated allegations. Isn't it interesting that when something offends Gary Burnore he often resorts to "defending" phantom victims of the alleged "abuse"? And shortly thereafter, various of his sock puppets echo his whining chant. > It was someone using a remailer who has spambaited several hundred > email addresses. And one such post contained Gary Burnore's own .sig block still appended to an otherwise anonymous post. Oops! > It was someone using a remailer who wants to know if Gary Burnore's > current employer knows of his background. And if not, how could they > be contacted. > > It was someone using a remailer who posted, in direct violation of NC law > information in its registry for the sole purpose of harrassing someone. Please cite the NC law which you claim is being violated, and how it would apply to a remailer located outside of NC? Would you also say that remailers ought to censor their content to avoid other laws being broken, such as insulting the religion of Islam, publishing information about birth control, abortion, etc.? If not, why should a foreign remailer selectively enforce this one law in NC (if it even exists)? Telling people that the website exists and that a search for "Gary Lee Burnore" on it might yield a match is not more "harassing" than the site itself. If they didn't want people to access this data, why publish it on a public website? The whole purpose of the website it apparently to let people to know who the registered sex offenders are in NC and where they live. If someone snail mailed you something you considered "harassing" and included no return address, would you accuse the sender of trying to get the postal service shut down? Wow, McClatchie. I guess you have a point. If you and Gary claim that all that happened, and that it was done by someone outside of DataBasix, then I guess we should believe it and shut down all the remailers just to make sure they aren't abused... But the fact is that all too often in the past, designer "abuse" would just automagically appear at critical times when Gary Burnore and Belinda Bryan were making demands (privately, via e-mail) on another remailer operator. How would someone outside of DataBasix have known that? How would someone other than a DataBasix insider have gotten access to the complete list of DataBasix' clients and employees in order to allegedly "spam bait" them, as Belinda claimed? Your own involvement in all of these attacks seems to more than just coincidental. Speaking of abuse and harassment, Gary Burnore demanded that Jeff Burchell turn over to him all of his remailer logs containing the e-mail addresses of everyone who had either sent or received anonymous e-mail through the server. Yet Gary refuses to disclose how such a list would have been used. Fortunately for the remailer user community, no such data was ever collected. > >Lest anyone forget, Gary launched his first tirade against anonymity when > >someone tipped off his molestation victim's mother and school officials > >anonymously. > > No, one of his first complaints about remailers was after someone used one > to harass his SO of the time, and her daughter. They had committed the > heinious crime of knowing Gary. Most women would not consider it "harassment" to be informed that their daughters were being molested. Nor did she complain. Gary did! How nice of the perpetrator to be so considerate of his victim's mother and not want to have her "harassed" by knowledge of what Gary was doing to her daughter. Ignorance is bliss, huh? Gary's motives were finally revealed when he was CONVICTED for that very crime. How would a random harasser have even known of Gary's sexual activities involving minors, before he was arrested and convicted? How would he/she know the victim's gender, age, identity, and city of residence? > >Whistleblowing has always been one of the important functions > >of anonymous remailers. > > Uh huh. And we've seen real "whistleblowing" activity here. Apparently so, when the perpetrator of the crime is the only one who complains about being exposed. In case it has escaped your attention, Gary complained PUBLICLY about a PRIVATE e-mail message to his victim's mother. If telling a mother that her daughter is being molested isn't whistleblowing, what is? > Seen plenty > of abuse. Seen postings of such a vile nature from remailers that when > people made similar postings from traceable accounts, their ISP's > terminated them. And it was not becuase of content - but becuase the > messages were harassing, in both nature and intent. TRANSLATION: Anything with which the fine folks at DataBasix disagree tends to be called "harassment" and "abuse". As for intent, the accuser has the burden of proof, there. But consider this: if even mentioning Gary's sexual activities with minors is "vile", what does that make Gary for actually committing them?
