Charter, a national daily reported Sunday. Officials from Japanese ministries and agencies on loan to the world body receive salaries from the U.N. as well as salaries from the Japanese government, the Mainichi Shimbun said in a report from Geneva. The government has paid billions of yen for more than 1,000 officials from Japan's ministries and agencies after a law, stipulating government officials dispatched to international institutions be paid 70 to 100% of the salaries paid in Japan, took effect in 1971, the Mainichi said. The U.N. Charter and U.N. staff regulations ban receiving payment from any government to maintain its independence. An official at the National Personnel Authority was quoted as saying half the Japanese officials on U.N. assignments are paid 100 % of their home salary amount. Tsukasa Kawada, director of the Foreign Ministry's U.N. Administration Division, was quoted as telling the Mainichi the payments are aimed at guaranteeing the status of officials on loan by continuing their pension and insurance fees' benefit and are not rewards for their duties in the U.N.

Cypherpunks, PGP Buyout, & Writing Code...
by Jim Choate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Perhaps the buy-out of PGP is a good thing. Consider that now there is a clear and present motive for Cypherpunks to start writing the next wave of world-class crypto...it really is the *only* shure way that the process doesn't get subverted...we're no longer able to rely on a single commen source of crypto tools. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | | | We built your fort.

It would appear that this "cops and >* robbers scenario" has the cops playing both roles.S This is becoming all too common (cf. online reports, and some good t.v. investigative shows which detailed how this shakedown operation works in many states). As to the question above, "2. What the hell legit reason is there for a man to be driving around with * >132 K in a truck??," this shows the dire state we are in today. After all, what the hell business is it of government/police to tell a person what they may do with their money? If I want to push my money around in a wheel barrow, it may be stupid, but if cops seize it then they are just thieves, plain and simple. (Arguments that the money "must have" been stolen, or to be used for an illegal transaction, or whatever, are meaningless. Unless the money can be shown to be stolen, or unless the person being stopped is actually shown to be in an illegal transaction (not that I support such laws, mind you), the cops can do nothing.) However, cash is on the way toward being outlawed. De facto, if not de jure. --Tim May The Feds have shown their hand: they want a ban on domestic cryptography ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
