Encrypted talk

Does there happen to be a talk program out there that will allow more than two people to talk at once, and allow them to speak securely with strong cryptography, and will actually compile under Linux? Thanks.

Federal sentencing guidelines are irrelevant in political cases. For example the survivors of the Waco massacre were found guilty of trivial technicalities, and then sentenced as if they had been found guilty of murdering federal agents. All appeals have been denied. Indeed it appears to be standard practice, that if a political criminal is charged with both trivial crimes of which he (and everyone else) is guilty, and extremely serious crimes, of which he is obviously innocent, he will be convicted on the trivia, and sentenced on the accusations. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | We have the right to defend ourselves | http://www.jim.com/jamesd/ and our property, because of the kind | of animals that we are.

Federalism
by nobody＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

Contrary to the Marxists, the Nazis did not advocate public owner- ship of the means of production. They did demand that the government oversee and run the nation's economy. The issue of legal ownership, they explained, is secondary; what counts is the issue of control. Private citizens, therefore, may continue to hold titles to property, so long as the state reserves to itself the unqualified right to REGULATE the use of their property...

America is largely a Jewish nation
by nobody＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The 1938 Nazi law barred Jews from businesses involving firearms. On November 10, 1938 -- one day after the Nazi party terror squads (the SS) savaged thousands of Jews, synagogues, and Jewish businesses throughout Germany -- new regulations under the Weapons Law specifically barred Jews from owning any weapons, even clubs or knives.

This proposal should not be confused with the other "scruz.moderated" proposal. This message has been automatically posted to this newsgroup because scruz.moderated is now actively being discussed Charter: Scruz.moderated is for educated and englightened discussion of the pressing issues of Santa Cruz. It is to be a zone in which thoughtful persons may discuss important issues with other thoughtful persons. The moderator, Tim May, has already received indications of support from leading conservative voices in Santa Cruz, including Carolyn Busenhart, Tony S. Riducci, and Lee Himmelfarb (of the White People's Party). It will be moderated by Tim May. Appropriate topics for scruz.moderated include: - what to do with the homeless problem (e.g., the Final Solution) - conversion of Lighthouse Field to a nuclear-powered whale packing plant (based on the ideas of N. Campbell) - revoking the charter of UCSC for its creation of the "Kikes and Dykes Summer Program" - moving the voting age in Santa Cruz back up to 21 to lessen the bias caused by UCSC - how to develop the North Coast, and plans to expand Highway One north of Santa Cruz to 6 lanes--each way. - getting the so-called health food stores shut down for failure to properly irradiate their food - which minorities should be relocated to Manzanar and other camps And so on. Other topics may also be appropriate...check with the moderator, Tim May, first. Discussions of deviancy will not be tolerated, nor will leftist rants by Vegans, tree worshippers, tree huggers, persons of color, and self-described "queers." The moderator, Tim May, will establish a "whitelist" of those with automatic permission to post. All others will have to submit their posts to moderator(a)whitepower.org. Those whose posts are approved 5 times in a row will automatically be moved to the whitelist. The moderator, Tim May, may move anyone off the whitelist anytime he chooses, and for any reason. Those whose posts are approved will receive e-mail confirmation, saying "That's mighty white of you." With the help of the Santa Cruz community, a friendly and open space for whites--to be known as "whitespace"--can be created. By screening out disruptive and ideological bankrupt posts, your moderator can ensure that meaningful debate takes place. You must be a Registered NAWP Voter to participate in the survey.

coercion proof timestamping services
by Adam Back 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Just some thoughts about creating more robust time-stamping services. Current time stamping services just generate a PGP key, and sign any messages you send them. PGP signatures already include a time stamp. Problem: if we find some interesting uses for time-stamps where it becomes important that no one can coerce the timestamping service into back-signing timestamps in the past, the current timestampers will be able to comply, or as they are automated services, simply confiscating the machine will likely give the attacker all information required to back date any number of time-stamps. One solution to this is for the time-stamper to publish all time-stamps (they are quite small being detached signatures), and publish a siganature on all the time-stamps stored in one file each day. Perhaps even publish the signature in a newspaper. Anyone with that newspaper, or an archive of the master signature only, will be able to verify any claimed time-stamps -- the publically published hash (in the signature) must match the time-stamps archived for that day. Another way is perhaps to have a sequence of keys for signing time-stamps on each day, and to discard the private key after that day. Authenticate the use-for-one-day-only keys by signing with a long term key. If people archive daily keys, the coercion of timestamping service will be detected if it attempts to publish a daily key for some date in the past, and the timestamping service can't sign with old keys as it has purposely discarded the private halves.
