Let's look at some history: Founded by Margaret Sanger (1879-1966). Publisher of Birth Control Review. Associate Henry Laughlin: Honorary MD from Heidelburg U (1936). Author of Hitler's Model Eugenical Sterilization Law. Author of "Mandatory Sterilization In The USA", published in Birth Control Review. Associate Dr. Ernst Rudin: Director of Nazi Medical Experimentation program; commissioned to write for Birth Control Review. Associate Dr. Lothrop Stoddard: Director, American Birth Control League. Vocal supporter of Nazis and their sterilization programs. Author of "The Rising Tide Of Color Against White Supremacy". Quote: "More children from the fit - less from the unfit. That is the chief aim of birth control." -from Birth Control Review circa 1921. Margaret described her plan to depopulate the Blacks in the U.S. in a private letter to Clarence Gamble, dated Oct. 19, 1939. Her plan was to hire Black ministers with engaging personalities to travel thru the South to propagandize for birth control. It was believed that the best access to the Blacks was thru religion, and Sanger's steering committee wanted to create the illusion that these projects were under the control of the local Black leaders. For those of you who don't know, there were a lot of successful sterilizations in the U.S. when these programs were in effect during Sanger's earlier years. Persons wishing to research this should also check Shockley, the transistor guy who won a Nobel prize for something or other, and his friendship with George Bush et al. I believe it was A&E channel that ran the Sanger TV-movie disinfor- mation/propaganda a year or so ago. You know, the channel that has been described by critics as "All Hitler, all the time".

How, Dale, by the smell? :I can only guess that the gays are very clique-ish, :or their brains are wired differently than non-gays.

I would probably disconnect from any server that a) does not let certain messages go through (unless they are fighting a DOS attack) and b) Alters content of any messages. - Igor.

I worked for a gay man in Beverly Hills and Encino for 3 years. I learned a lot about "signals" during that time. Bigot? I don't think so. One of my favorite customers, a nice lady who is Jewish (and who grew up where I did) told me she could spot 'em every time. > Sign him up to pass out the pink triangles. > What a fraud! Still love you, big guy. Can you tell? I'll bet you do! Er, I wouldn't bend over in front of you, that is. No offense, ya' know. BTW, my browser has a problem with your lines that have no c/r after every 70 or so characters. Other people will undoubtedly confirm that.

Good Bye Cypherpunks!

Friends, I have been on the list since May 1993, after reading about it in Wired 1.2. The list impacted my life more than any other medium. I knew little about cryptography when I joined the list. Now I work in the field. Some of the subscribers on this list have become my personal friends. Many have become co-workers or clients. The list has been good to me. But it is time to move on. Cypherpunks(a)toad.com has come to an end, and perhaps it was time. See you all on USENET mailto:cypherpunks@toad.com is dead. Long live news:alt.cypherpunks Umsuscrive message follows ;-) -- Lucky Green <mailto:shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred "I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence."

Whoever volunteered to run the monthly meeting just emailed to Hugh, who posted the announcement. I would suggest to avoid fixing what isn't broken and make alt.cypherpunks.announce a moderated list with Hugh and Eric as the moderators.
