Correction re Senate testimony
by Cindy Cohn 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

My earlier post was slightly overstated. Phil Karn has testified before Congress numerous times about his legal challenge and has consistently pushed these issues in the legislature. My testimony will be the first time any of the attorneys involved have been asked to discuss the constitutional problems with the cryptography restrinctions. My apologies to Phil.

All of our legal efforts to obtain these documents, which any citizen has a right to, have failed. REASON you are selected to help is that you appear to be knowledgeable about operation of the current US federal government and willing to speak out in an attempt to solve problems. You appeared Friday February 27, 1998 on PBS, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, along with senators Campbell, Hollings, Lott, Shelby Robb and representatives Dana Rohrabacher and Harold Rogers. These senators and congressmen appeared not to support your views because they are either mis- or not well-informed about US involvement in support of Saddam Hussein. Stories supporting your view appear on Internet at NSA, Crypto AG, and the Iraq-Iran Conflict by J. Orlin Grabbe http://www.aci.net/kalliste/speccoll.htm and Crypto AG: The NSA's Trojan Whore? by Wayne Madsen http://caq.com/CAQ/caq63/caq63madsen.html Madsen begins It may be the greatest intelligence scam of the century: For decades, the US has routinely intercepted and deciphered top secret encrypted messages of 120 countries But NSA , and as a result the US federal government, apparnetly got caught involved in complicity of deaths of about 500,000 Iranians. This is the subject of a Federal lawsuit seen on Internet at http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm US federal government help of Iraq during the Iraq-Iran war may possibly backfire on innocent US citizens. The Wall Street Journal, March 10, 1998, pp. B1, B9. reports A Peek Inside a Giant Germ Warehouse By Rochelle Sharpe Rockville, Md. -- They keep anthrax bacteria in the basement of a faded red-brick building here. It isn't far from the yellow-fever virus, the botulism bacteria and some of the hundreds of organisms that cause the common cold. In fact, there are samples of 85,000 different fungi, viruses, cells, genes and bacteria here at the American Type Culture Collection, by far the largest of the 450 repositories of biological materials scattered around the globe. ... The ATCC legally shipped 10 vials of anthrax, botulism and other deadly substances to Iraqi scientists in the 1980s -- when the U.S. and Iraq were on much friendlier terms -- all with the Commerce Department's approval. ... http://www.jya.com/btn031198.txt The US federal government apparently intended these bioweapons to be used against the people of Iran. You demonstrated on PBS TV a quality identified by Francis Bacon The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention. by your statement about Saddam Hussein on PBS ...our man and our creation... Perhaps after reading the above materials and The Problem of Paradigm Shifts - Terrorism and the Threat From Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Middle East Working Draft Anthony H. Cordesman, Senior Fellow and Co-Director Middle East Studies Program October 22, 1996 http://www.csis.org/mideast/terror.html senators Campbell, Hollings, Lott, Shelby, Robb and representatives Dana Rohrabacher and Harold Rogers MAY NOW understand why you are correct and they are mis- or not well-informed about US involvement with Saddam Hussein. PROBLEM we face with the US court system is that court clerks and judges have committed Title 18 felony violation of law IN WRITING in an attempt to deny us monetary compensation due us for the cases WE WON at the Tenth Circuit on Appeal. But judges awarded victories to the US federal government in violation of Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. Cases No. 94-2205, Payne v Sandia and 95-2204, Morales v Sandia were both won pro se on appeal. We have filed a writ of mandamus with supreme court judge Scalia in an attempt to get the docket sheets for the two above cases. But Scalia will not answer our certified letters. Senator McCain wrote Payne on December 23, 1997 I wanted to take this opportunity of than you for you letter of December 3, 1997. Your situation is in the jurisdiction of Senator Pete Dominici. Therefore, I have forwarded you letter to his attention. William, I hope you situation can be resolved favorably. Lawyers and politicians Dominici and Bingaman are part of a problem not a solution. Dominici and Bingaman have the following agenda University of New Mexico Bureau for Business and Economic Research reported on October 14, 1997: A The Gross State Product of New Mexico is $37.8 billion. B The US Federal government sends $11.3 billion to New Mexico each year. C For each $1 New Mexico sends to Washington, New Mexico gets $2 back. THEREFORE, Representative McKinney, we ask your help to get copies of the docket sheets. Citizens of the US are becoming more upset with the behavior of bureaucrats, the courts [lawyers], and the US federal government. Some Americans have no other way to express their dissatisfaction with US federal government mismanagement of our country except by violence. Frederick Douglass either wrote or said on August 4, 1847 Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them. These will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. We chose to use the words and law to hold government employees accountable. Please encourage Scalia to do his job. Help get us copies of the docket sheets. And even perhaps help investigate further and settle this American tragedy. Sincerely, Arthur R. Morales William H.

Well, yes, that's what BXA flaunts, but I wonder if the encryption regs are a high priority compared to the cases which are actually pursued which deal with truly threatening technology that every congressperson loves to fearfully hate. Yapping Chihuahua crypto is not up there yet, I suspect. True, there's a batch of agents being trained to work specifically on encryption, and with the total of crypto exports now exceeding $half a billion, it may be cost and politically effective to set an example by pounding one or two neo-crypto-Zimmermanns, especially as the year's hearings rumble, troll and slumber. Still, Adam's signature RSA-taunt has been on our Web site for months, terminating each of his exemplary stream of messages on low perfidy in high places, to no effect on BXA's eagle eyeball.

In Your EAR...
by Six 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

In Your EAR, Shit-For-Brains ---------------------------- In continuation of a tradition begun on Dec. 7, 2041 A.D. EARMonger InterpretPrizes would like to extend an invitation to those who wish to participate in a clear violation of the U.S. EAR regulations of your current time period. The StarShip CowBoy, descended from the lineage of the Author, would be more than happy to ensure that your violation of EAR regulations extends not only across the physical and political geographically-based space continuum, but also across a range of the time continuum which begins before EAR was an unborn seed in the mind of The RAT, continues throughout its journey from the mind, through the digestive system, its physical manifestation as droppings from The RAT, its further evolution through the reproductive systems of various insects and vermin, right up to the time that The RatFucker returned it to its rightful place, placing it back in the mind of The Rat, as a seed placed in The Rat's EAR. "The more things change, the more they remain insane..." ~ The Author To participate, one only need to send the following: print pack"C*",split/\D+/,`echo "16iII*o\U@{$/=$z;[(pop,pop,unpack"H*",<> )]}\EsMsKsN0[lN*1lK[d2%Sa2/d0<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<J]dsJxp"|dc` to the Monger of their choice, in any given space-time continuum, with instructions as to where the person would like to have this officially unexportable (under U.S. EAR regulations) cryptographic code forwarded. Whatever legally unexportable code you choose to send will be routed through U.S. servers to their ultimate destination. Two PGP Keys are included below, for those who wish to disguise their original message in order to maintain deniability (in the case that the message is intercepted by the Sixual Deviate, who would undoubtedly insert child-pornography into the message), to force those choosing to monitor and/or enforce EAR regulations to jump through the maximum number of hoops to pursue their March To Madness, or to hide the communication from your mother (who would undoubtedly smack your nasty bottom if she knew what you were doing through your little sister's email account). Suggestions for final destinations for your illegal and prosecutable communication: ~To yourself, at both U.S. and foreign email server sites. ~To your immediate family members at U.S. and foreign email server sites. ~To foreign embassies of U.S. allies. ~To foreign embassies of U.S. enemies. ~To U.S. embassies in foreign countries. ~To foreign government email addresses, with instructions for delivery to individuals presently incarcerated for terrorist crimes. ~To anywhere you damn well please... In the interests of making the whole process as convoluted and ridiculous as possible, it is suggested that you make your communications as much of a mixed-bag as you can imagine. e.g. - Some legal, some illegal, some attributed to yourself or others, some to be forwarded anonymously, some sent via routes that are easily traceable, some sent through routes that are difficult to trace, some sent from your own machines and email accounts, some through the machines and accounts of others (obvious forgeries are welcomed). All communications received by A Monger To Remain Unnamed Later But Everyone Knows Who It Is by April 1, 1998 will be forwarded on A Date Which Will Remain A Mystery , at exactly 9:02 CST, regardless of whether or not they are obviously spook-originated missives designed to provide proof of criminal activity. This once-in-many-lifetimes offer is being extended as part of a Man On The Digital Street survey aimed at answering the question: "Does anyone really know what time it is?" The question you might ask yourself, is: "Does anyone really care?" When you think of 'Chicago'--think of Abbey Hoffman. A.

Some of the people on the list are lawyers, perhaps they could do it and represent themselves, or represent others. Duncan Frissell has some opinions on this I think. If I recall his previous statements on this topic have included that Phil Zimmermann ought to hire a troupe of dancing elephants to make a noise and force the Feds to prosecute. (Duncan considered the Feds would loose). On a practical matter of what to export... may I suggest exporting this: print pack"C*",split/\D+/,`echo "16iII*o\U@{$/=$z;[(pop,pop,unpack"H*",<> )]}\EsMsKsN0[lN*1lK[d2%Sa2/d0<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<J]dsJxp"|dc` Peter Junger got an official decision from the US commerce department that this was not exportable under the EAR regulations.

If anyone chooses to try this act of civil disobedience, let me know and I'll write about it. But be warned: the Department of Commerce has approximately 60 special agents who enforce violations of export rules. These are federal police officers, stationed in field office around the U.S., with badges and arrest power, trained at FLETC in Georgia. They don't have a sense of humor about these things. -Declan FLETC / Georgia Department of Commerce
