LYING FUCKS! / Behind the ELECTROMAGNETIC CURTAIN
by TruthMonger 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

To everyone I know: I've had enough of the bullshit, mind-control fascism surfacing at an increasingly fast pace in an assault on freedom and privacy. I've also had enough of the constant lies of an established political power structure which is now so firmly entrenched in the seat of power that they no longer even bother to tell *_good_* lies. The final straw, for me, was the inevitable announcement that anyone paying the least attention could see coming from a mile away, despite all of the flag-waving, 'land of the free' speeches, and denials by those in power of their true intentions in regard to the future of free speech, liberty and privacy. ---- 5 September 1997, MSNBC: FBI Director Louis Freeh floats a new proposal at a congressional hearing to outlaw non-breakable crypto products. ---- Accordingly, I am pledging to henceforth exercise my right to free speech, in my own manner, right up to the time when we all face imprisonment for not only free speech, but for freedom of thought, as well. My manner is to call a lying fuck a _lying_fuck_; to call a rat fucker a _rat_fucker_; to call a fucking imbecile a _fucking _imbecile_; to call a Nazi piece of shit a _Nazi_ _piece_of_shit_. In the future, I plan to express myself in a manner which does not give support to the 'quiet lies' that are increasingly being told by the mainstream press and a timid public which are either too tired of fighting the fascists or have too much invested in the current system to risk rocking the boat by calling for an end to bullshit, draconian laws, and increasing oppression and imprisonment of the citizens of what were once free nations. I intend to do so in my private emails, my public posts, and in the editing of news that I forward to others. e.g. ---- NATION AT RISK? The Fascist White House, Terrorist FBI and co-conspirator intelligence agencies claim that the proliferation of unbreakable encryption products puts the nation at risk. Unnamed Criminals and Mythical terrorists are increasingly using unbreakable encryption products, Lying Fuck Freeh testiLied Wednesday. ---- I am forwarding this message to everyone in my email address book with the suggestion that they consider doing the same, or to take a similar action which may be more in line with their own character and predelictions. The bottom line: Our elected legislators, politicians, and public servants are *not* going to tell us the truth. The media is *not* going to tell us the truth. If the citizens don't speak truthfully to one another, then there is *no* hope of stemming the escalating assaults on privacy and liberty. As sole member of the TruthMonger Cult of One: I hereby declare an electronic state of war against the dictatorial, fascist entities who are attempting to build an ElectroMagnetic Curtain around an InterNet that served as a truly democratic forum for Free Netizens until the power structure declared it to be the forefront of a New World, while eschewing any intentions to bring it under the thumb of a New World Order. I suggest that the Lying Fascist Fucks who are mounting an assault on the freedom and privacy of their citizens lay in some Electronic Body Bags. Perhaps each truthful word I shoot in their direction will be but a negligable 'B-B' in reality, but I refuse to refrain from doing what I can, even if I am wrong about things having reached a stage where enough people will join in resistance to the assault on freedom and privacy to bring down the ElectroMagnetic curtain with a mountain of B-B's. I can't stop these dictatorial fascists from telling their lies, but I *can* still express my view of their crass assault on the constitutional rights of myself and others. I *can* call Louis Freeh, Lying Fuck Freeh. I *can* call Bill Clinton, Lying Nazi Schill Clinton. I *can* call Dianne Feinstein, Lying Cunt SwineStein. I not only *can*, but I *will*. I will fight with bytes, even though I know that, ultimately, these increasingly violent power mongers will respond with bullets if they perceive a great enough threat to risk exposing their true nature and intentions. I believe that I can fire a lot of B-B's at the ElectroMagnetic Curtain before I 'commit suicide', have a 'tragic accident', or unwittingly fire one of my electronic B-B's in the direction of heavily armed, camoflaged secret troops 'defending' the Electronic Border that the fascists are attempting to build around a formerly Free InterNet. Am I the only one who has noticed that free speech and private communication on the InterNet posed little 'threat' to society until the government decided to get increasingly involved? Think about it. _Who_is_the_enemy_? The Public? The Citizens? I think not...

LAWFUL USE OF ENCRYPTION. Except as otherwise provided by this Act or otherwise provided by law, it shall be lawful for any person within any State to use any encryption, regardless of encryption algorithm selected, encryption key length chosen, or implementation technique or medium used. SEC. 102. PROHIBITION ON MANDATORY THIRD PARTY ESCROW OF KEYS USED FOR ENCRYPTION OF CERTAIN COMMUNICATIONS. Neither the Federal Government nor a State may require the escrow of an encryption key with a third party in the case of an encryption key used solely to encrypt communications between private persons within the United States. SEC. 103. VOLUNTARY PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION IN KEY MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE. The participation of the private persons in the key management infrastructure enabled by this Act is voluntary. ---------- For full text of the June version: http://jya.com/s909.htm

alright... i finally figured a way around ctrl-alt-delete on my aol account here, so here is my first post... bear with an old fart, who is trying to learn encryption... and who when he does, will pass it along to whoever he can... yes -- we need to do ALL these things... but we need to do it ... ENCRYPTED... by as many as possible... as SOON as possible... the thing that is missing here -- to beat freeh and the other freaks... is that PGP -- or whatever -- must be POPULARIZED -- and by that, i mean -- the 'learning and doing' -- an encrypted email... must be made easy enough -- so that the average aol user... will -- FIRST -- think it's something they should have and use... and SECOND ... they'll have a way they can use it quickly and easily... figure it this way -- if you could get ALL nine million aol users.... to send an encrypted email -- on the SAME day .... to everyone in gov that says FUCK OFF -- NO WAY MY KEY.... what the fuck is the gov gonna do about it?????? as in the internet at large, and the WWW -- it is the sheer number of us 'users' ... that is scaring shit out of govs everywhere... but right now -- they have a big, big advantage..... they are using the time-honored principle of 'divide-and-conquer' ... to extreme advantage -- and it is one that we can take from them with a little thought, organization, and planning....... the fight against CDA was greatly helped with the co-operative 'black-out' pages.... and that's the general idea.... whoever can write an icon-based gui -- point and click -- that will encrypt and send an email.... and includes an user friendly system for email spam filters......... gee -- could make a small fortune... [they are using 'spam' as a backdoor to GAK] maybe it's already been done? -- I've got eudora lite w/pgp on board -- but no time to try it out yet..... anyways -- dammit -- the key to this fight is in NUMBERS ....... if I was even forty or so -- I'd try it myself.... it's REAL important....... ldm
