IP: Feds Assault the Free Press

From: believer(a)telepath.com Subject: IP: Feds Assault the Free Press Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1998 10:34:40 -0600 To: believer(a)telepath.com Source: Insight Magazine (published by Washington Times) Feds Assault the Free Press By Kelly Patricia O'Meara A journalist and his wife have drawn the wrath of federal law enforcement. Their 'crime': allegedly removing a tiny piece of TWA Flight 800 wreckage for independent study. It was FBI Special Agent James Kinsley who insisted the accused subjects be handcuffed and driven in separate FBI vehicles to U.S. District Court in Uniondale, N.Y. Secured by heavy manacles, the prisoners were paraded before media eager to get a look at the husband and wife team charged with the alleged crime of stealing evidence from the hangar where the wreckage of doomed TWA Flight 800 is being assembled. . . . . But something was very wrong. The prisoners were Jim Sanders, author of nonfiction books including The Downing of TWA Flight 800, and his petite, soft-spoken wife Liz, a retired flight-attendant trainer for TWA. The two spent hours in holding cells under the court house not far from where the 747 exploded in a deadly fireball on July 17, l996, before being allowed to plead not guilty to the government's charges. If convicted, this couple, who just celebrated their silver wedding anniversary, face up to 10 years in prison.

MEDIA RELEASE: Data Fellows and Nokia Announce New OEM Agreement
by Marita N�sman-Repo 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Media Release For immediate release Data Fellows and Nokia Announce New OEM Agreement Data Fellows' F-Secure SSH Client and Server To be Bundled in Three Nokia Router Product Lines Espoo, Finland, November 12, 1998 -- Data Fellows, the global leader in data security software and Nokia have signed OEM bundling agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Nokia will bundle F-Secure SSH Server and F-Secure SSH Client software in each unit of various Nokia routing products: the Nokia IP400 family of router/firewall products, the Nokia VPN200 series, and the Check Point VPN-1 RemoteLink line versions of these products sold through various VAR (Value Added Reseller) channels. F-Secure SSH Client provides Windows, Macintosh and all Unix users with secure connections over the Internet and other untrusted networks to corporate resources running F-Secure SSH Server -- in this case, the Nokia firewall/router products. F-Secure SSH provides proven, ICSA-certified end-to-end security between the client workstation and the Nokia router/firewall unit, or any other server running the software. The software offers strong authentication and encryption based on industry standard algorithms such as 3DES, IDEA and Blowfish, as well as data privacy for all data transmission. All data, including the initial user ID and password, exchanged between the Client and Server flows transparently through an encrypted tunnel. The new OEM agreement is the second between Nokia Telecommunications and Data Fellows. The VPN200 series enables a company of any size to set up network connections to all plant sites, using maximum-security standards. Both product families are compatible, enabling simultaneous management and control. "F-Secure SSH has become de facto standard for secure remote administration, maintenance and management of crucial corporate resources such as firewalls, routers, switches, web servers and mail gateways," says Petri Laakkonen, president of Data Fellows Inc. "By bundling the software with leading router/firewall solutions, Nokia and Data Fellows will make remote maintenance and administration of mission-critical network resources much more secure, affordable and easier to adapt even to most distributed global organizations." "This co-operation will strengthen Nokia's security solutions. Our products are in use for data applications where security is of the utmost importance. We are pleased to be able to offer our customers one of the most advanced, secure range of Firewall systems on the market," says Brian NeSmith, Vice President, Nokia IPRG. With offices in San Jose, CA, and Espoo, Finland, privately-owned Data Fellows is the leading technology provider of data security solutions for enterprise networks. The company's F-Secure data security product line includes F-Secure Workstation Suite, consisting of malicious code detection and removal, unobtrusive file and network encryption, and personal firewall functionality, all integrated into a policy-based, centralized management architecture; F-Secure Anti-Virus, with multiple scanning engines (including F-PROT and AVP), is the most comprehensive, real-time virus scanning and protection system for all Windows platforms; F-Secure VPN+ provides a software-based, IPSec-compliant Virtual Private Network solution for large corporate networks as well as remote and small office networks; F-Secure FileCrypto, the first and only product to integrate strong real-time encryption directly into the Windows file system; F-Secure SSH, providing secure remote login, terminal, and other connections over unsecured networks (it is the most widely used secure remote administration tool); and F-Secure NameSurfer for remote Internet and Intranet DNS administration, with an easy-to-use WWW user interface that automates and simplifies DNS administration. Nokia is the world's leading mobile phone supplier and a leading supplier of mobile and fixed telecom networks including related customer services. Nokia also supplies solutions and products for fixed and wireless datacom, as well as multimedia terminals and computer monitors. In 1997, net sales totaled FIM 52.6 billion ($ 9.8 billion). Headquartered in Finland, Nokia is listed on five European Stock Exchanges and on the New York Stock Exchange (NOK.A), has sales in 130 countries and employs more than 42,000 people world-wide.

Attempt by UK govt to plug tax hole...
by Jean-Francois Avon 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

>From Caribbean Week, business section, updated Nov. 15 1998 (?) ================================================= Global initiatives present challenges to BVI BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS - Proposed initiatives created for "combating harmful preferential tax regimes" could present special challenges to offshore financial centres such as the BVI, Chief Minister, Ralph O'Neal has told the Legislative Council. While the BVI Government has been cooperative with the international community in its "ambitious attempts to create a new international standard," he said he welcomes the offer of the British Government to appoint a UK financed consultancy to ascertain the full implication the proposed initiatives will have on overseas territories. Initiatives arose from recommendations made by the Organisation of Economic Cooperative Development (OECD) as well as concerns expressed by the European Union, and the group of seven major industrialized countries, the G7. In September, a seminar was held to sensitise the overseas territories to the attitude of the international community, the UK Government's resolve to tackle harmful tax competition, and its commitment to work with the overseas territories to ensure that their concerns were factored into the ongoing dialogue on the harmful tax competition. Both the Director of Financial Services and the Financial Secretary represented the BVI. Of the concerns noted by the Chief Minister were OCED initiatives to counter the spread to tax havens and harmful preferential regimes, and the creation of an OECD list which classifies many countries including the BVI and other UK overseas territories as tax havens. He further noted "the fact that Luxembourg and Switzerland, both members of the OECD, could choose to abstain from adopting the report and from cooperating on the initiatives but still not appear in the OECD black list" is viewed by some persons as "proof of some hidden agenda by ... the industrialised world to reduce the attractiveness of offshore financial centres for legitimate cross-border business." "Our expectations of the new Labour Government are high. All we ask ... is to help us to help ourselves and to ensure that the competition for cross border financial services occurs on a level playing field," he added. A special public sector/private sector task force has been commissioned to brainstorm and develop the territory's response to the proposals. The Director of Financial Services is the chairman.

I'm on e$pam though (e$(a)vmeng.com) Ciao jfa " There can be no compromise on basic principles. There can be no compromise on moral issues. There can be no compromise on matters of knowledge, of truth, of rational conviction." -Ayn Rand "The government has no source of revenue, except the taxes paid by the producers. To free itself -for a while- from the limits set by reality, the government initiates a credit con game on a scale which the private manipulator could not dream of. It borrows money from you today, which is to be repaid with money it will borrow from you day after tomorrow, and so on. This is known as "deficit financing." It is made possible by the fact that the government cuts the connection between goods and money. It issues paper money, which is used as a claim check on actually existing goods-but that money is not backed by any goods, it is not backed by gold, it is backed by nothing. It is a promissory note issued to you in exchange for your goods, to be paid by you (in the form of taxes) out of your future production." -Ayn Rand
