I agree it undermines the justice system a little bit. > But, ... impeachment? Yes. We have some jokester sitting in Washington with full authority over our military forces. The people can't believe a word he says. Congress can't believe a word he says. He rules by executive order. He ignores the Constitution. There is argument over whether he ordered military strikes to divert attention from his scandal and whether he sold the country out to the Red Chinese. Now people like myself are thinking - totally justified - that this guy will do absolutely anything to hold on to his presidency. I don't feel particularly secure with some guy who I can't trust running the military and with his finger on the nuclear button. That itself is a violation of national security.

To my understanding pleading the 5th in response to a court order for your passphrase would work, correct? Or would you be liable under contempt of court?

Re: Questions for Magaziner? // taxing crypto

Okay. Cool. Sorry if I mischaracterized it somehow, I wasn't trying to. Or was it Diffie who said something like that? By the way, someone told me that the Crypto "Authors@MIT" talk with you and Diffie, etc., was on CSPAN recently, so if someone *really* wanted to, they could go back, see *exactly* what was said, and say here what the idea was, (and who to attribute it to, of course), that prompted me to make the, um, offending, comment, they could do so. Frankly, I was too hyped from telling the FBI guy he didn't matter anymore, not to mention his dirty look that followed :-), to remember it accurately enough for scientific attribution.

I've been looking at the court forcing one to take immunity and can't find anything that would support such actions. So if you haven't told the court you will cooperate *and* you say nothing more than that you're taking the 5th there shouldn't be much they can do except charge you as an accomplice and hope for a conviction on other material. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.

CJ's Teeth Busted
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Forwarded: Relatives report that Jeff Gordon busted CJ's teeth, which is why CJ was picked up, not for his wasted carcass, but for the the cutting edge incisors being hosted and packed around North America like suitcase nukes. The teeth allegedly hold the secrets of why everyone except the FBI wanted CJ. Jeff sent them to a LANL for DNA mouthwash decrypt for whatever CJ did to whoever to social engineer access to Motorola's algorithm's for transmitting DEFCON 1. Which means us .mil Totos got to go to the backup plan for richocheting/encrypting/mixing signals to the sats. Anyone forget where it is, send me a msg with the PK http://calvo.teleco.ulpgc.es/listas/cypherpunks@infonex.com/ Search Heavenly Gate/Cypherpunks/Waco+CJ Parker.. The word on the IC Net (see above URL) is that the teeth are rigged to resist for no more than twenty days under pressure of counterterrorism's bite. Then they bark Semtext: fucking jerks, then go nuclear. Monday is a key tumbler click. More, there's a forwarded report from the alleged CJ that he spit in the eye of the T-man, wrote "Helter Skelter" on the cell mirror with his blood, and then, slow chewing a turd, ostentatiously peeked up the lady magistrate's Victoria Secrets, for which she brazen-hussily ordered him to forthwith gaze up this: MO.
