Talking of which the Queen is visiting Hastings (a town about > 5 miles from me) today, I hope the IRA blow her up... How many Irish nationalists do you know? The ones I know consider the IRA to be a bunch of thugs. Their attitude towards sympathizers in the US is similar to the attitude most Israelis have towards the kind of American wackos who killed Rabin. That's probably too nuanced for you, so to simplify: I think they're a bunch of thugs. They're just as thuggish towards "their own" as they are towards the Loyalists. Express a moderate or humanistic point of view in certain NI neighborhoods and the IRA thugs will make sure you're censored for good. AS Bill Frantz pithed a few weeks ago: the problem is not anarchy -- the problem is too many competing governments in one place. Thuggery isn't the answer to historical thuggery. - -rich http://www.stanford.edu/~llurch/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQBVAwUBM5is8ZNcNyVVy0jxAQGtVgIAgpdMWOvv76Pf9eByDe5PkOW+7TmJwKA3 bUeUtRO9ydymz35qkEp+zD2n16dX1qft52h4nqmkIEVh6hKTiM0Jyw== =TRvQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Is Bill Clinton Obstructing Justice???
by lucifer＠dhp.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Is Bill Clinton Obstructing Justice in the Case of Charles Hayes? by J. Orlin Grabbe 1. Did President Bill Clinton meet with Kentucky District Judge Jennifer B. Coffman at the Watergate Hotel on May 21, 1997? Has Coffman suddenly become an important Presidential advisor? Was the meeting just another tête-à-tête similar to the one Clinton had with Paula Jones? Is Bill Clinton obstructing justice? 2. Is Judge Coffman in the meantime sitting on, and attempting to ignore, a slew of motions from Hayes' attorney Marvin Miller? Is Judge Coffman herself guilty of judicial misconduct? 3. Why did Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Malloy recently asked to withdraw from the Chuck Hayes' case? Why did Judge Coffman refuse to allow him to withdraw? 4. Where has the alleged hit man Don Yarbrough disappeared to? Does his disappearance have anything to do with falsified information given to the FBI? Did the FBI previously say they had verified this information? 5. What perjury charges have been filed against FBI agent Stephen Brannan? 6. What perjury charges have been filed against FBI agent David Keller? Was or was not David Keller transferred to the Atlanta office of the FBI? 7. Has Lawrence Myers been impeached as a witness because he was diagnosed as having multiple personalities by the U.S. Army? 8. Are there any remaining witnesses against Charles Hayes? 9. What is the relationship between Judge Jennifer Coffman and Wendell Ford? 10. Was Jennifer Coffman under investigation for financial improprieties at the time she was appointed judge?

TV Commercial
by Marshall Clow 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Today on TV, I saw an advertisement. Image: Two ships exchanging searchlight-type signals. Voiceover: It's common sense, really. You should be able to communicate with anyone without worring about the security of your communications. Sprint PCS. Secure digital communications. It's nice to see that a large multinational corporation is publicly expousing cypherpunk attitudes. (The reality of their phones is not as encouraging, but...) -- Marshall Marshall Clow Aladdin Systems <mailto:mclow@mailhost2.csusm.edu> "In Washington DC, officials from the White House, federal agencies and Congress say regulations may be necessary to promote a free-market system." -- CommunicationsWeek International April 21, 1997
