Re: Citizenship silliness. Re: e$: crypto-expatriatism

> [gun control laws in other countries being even worse than the US] Does anyone know of any countries with more reasonable gun laws than the US? I vaguely think Israel and Switzerland are better, at least for citizens. It is one of the major problems I have with Anguilla -- "guns are bad". I miss my M1A. I mostly have two classes of guns I'd like to have: air pistol, for practice and competition, and military-style semiautomatic rifles, for practice and long-term defense. Self-defense handguns and shotguns are somewhat optional. A country like Switzerland seems ideal, at least as a citizen, given the reserve requirements. Mmmm, a nice Hammerli air pistol and a shiny new HK PSG-1 would make me forget about the M1A I left behind, very quickly. Especially with a good daylight scope and an IR scope... Only $30k or so for the package with 10k rounds of national match ammo. -- Ryan Lackey rdl(a)mit.edu http://sof.mit.edu/rdl/ <-- down

Carl Johnson Warrant and Complaint
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Thanks to anonymous we offer the arrest warrant and complaint against Carl Edward Johnson: http://jya.com/usa-v-cej-wc.htm (23K) List Cypherpunks is spotlighted by the IRS complainant, Jeff Gordon, who made Jim Bell famous. The list is quoted, logged, tracked, and cited for its hosting alleged death threat messages against federal officials, which were PGP-authenticated and -decoded, and their style and content assessed for identity of the author, along with other allegations by the RCMP on what Carl may or may not have done up north and by the Secret Service on Carl may or may not have said out west. We have also been told that Carl is known as "The King of Country Porn" among admiring fans of his music. Whether this has anything to do with the little-known person we're seeking information about is a mystery.

Best & Brightest
by Jim Choate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi, Sorry it took so long to get back on this, but... I went and checked the book in the bookstore as I had a vague memory of reading it in high school. Yep, it's the same book I read in '74 in a government class. David Halberstam's "Best and Brightest" was an excellent book on the Vietnam War and the political wrangling that got us into it - *for 1972*. This book has never been updated and near as I can find nobody has taken the time to compare its line of argument and innuendo with the last 26 years of data that has come to light. In particular it makes no mention, and because of time travel limitations shouldn't be expected to, of the wealth of data on the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam Conflict that has come to light in the last 3 years because these classified materials weren't released yet. This material is available via the Kennedy Library and the LBJ Library. It includes internal memos and similar material that Halberstam did not have any knowledge of. Of paritcular note to the thesis that some espouse that Kennedy intended to increase the force level is a memo to the combined chiefs of staff to remove ALL US forces from SE Asia. This memo was signed just weeks before Kennedy was assassinated. Every indication is that LBJ would have honored that had the Ya Drang Valley (the 7th Cavalry almost had another Little Bighorn) not occurred in '64. After this tactical defeat (both US and Viet forces claimed it as a strategic win) the US level of forces in the area went through the roof. This book is good for a historical perspective only, if you're interested in understanding what happened from 1962 - 1963 with Kennedy and 1963+ with LBJ then this is not the book to go to. It is simply out of date. A general rule of thumb in doing historical research: If the reference is not a primary and it is over 5 years old and has not been updated then it is suspect. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.

What sort of use do you see it being put to? One or two stations wouldn't be worth the investment in money or time. Would it be some sort of private channel or the backbone of a more complex enterprise? Do you see it being a form of employment in the crash in that the operator could trade communications access for vittles and ammo? As to protocols, the standard IP packet software seems to work just fine (I think it's something like KA9Q or some such). I've used it twice and it worked like a champ. Are you proposing to get a license or would it be strictly underground until after the crash? ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.
