The 415-page book, co-written with Bob Papovich, is called "Freedom's End: Conspiracy in Oklahoma." In it, James Nichols contends that his brother had nothing to do with the 1995 bombing, that a law enforcement agency actually blew up the building, and that the FBI has not investigated the case sufficiently. _______________________________________________________________ "They have failed to prove anything. They have investigated people, but not the bombing, because all they want to do is prosecute people, not find out the truth." James Nichols _______________________________________________________________ Specifically, James Nichols contends that the plastic barrels found at his brother's Kansas home did not match those found in the rubble of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. He also contends that the bomb did not contain ammonium nitrate, as prosecutors contend. vxtreme CNN's Ed Garsten reports. James Nichols does admit that Timothy McVeigh, already convicted and sentenced to death in the attack that killed 168 people, was upset about a 1993 raid by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. But he scoffs at the idea that was the motive for the Oklahoma bombing, as prosecutors say. "Getting back at the (ATF) is a really stupid argument. There were few (ATF) agents stationed at the Murrah building," he writes. Freedom's End Instead, James Nichols maintains that the ATF itself blew up the Murrah building as part of a cover up of what happened at Waco. He wrote, "Who benefits by destroying records that would prove that the (ATF) was lying about the alleged drug laboratory, illegal weapons and child abuse at (the Davidian compound)?" Contacted for a response, an ATF spokesman told CNN that the agency could not comment because of the ongoing trial of Terry Nichols in Denver. James Nichols is scheduled to testify in his brother's defense. For James Nichols, writing the book may have been easier than getting it published. He says mainstream publishers would not print it, so he and Papovich published it themselves and took out loans to pay for it. Nichols also says many books stores are refusing to carry it because of its controversial subject matter. Jury selection continues in Denver In Denver meanwhile, a second week of jury selection began in Nichols' trial in U.S. District Court. Terry Nichols A grandmother who said it would be a mortal sin for her to impose the death penalty, and who pleaded that she needed to be with a sick daughter, was dismissed Wednesday on grounds of hardship. "I could never think of putting a person to death, because how can you put a person to death when it won't bring the people back?" she asked. "It would be on a person's conscience." The woman is Catholic and Judge Richard Matsch asked if she considered it a mortal sin to sentence someone to death. "Yes," said the woman, "a mortal sin." She was followed by a man who designs packaging for the medical industry. He said the death penalty would be appropriate in "a crime where someone shows no remorse. It might be a very violent crime." Another prospective juror interviewed Wednesday morning was a man who at first said the death penalty should be automatic for anyone convicted of premeditated murder. Later, under questioning by U.S. District Court Judge Richard Matsch, the man conceded that he could consider the character and background of the defendant before imposing a death sentence. The court is attempting to find a pool of 64 "death penalty-qualified" jurors from which a final panel of 12 jurors and six alternatives will be chosen. Under federal law, jurors must agree that they can impose the death penalty but will also consider other sentences if mitigating circumstances warrant. Nichols, 42, could receive the death penalty if he is convicted of the murder and conspiracy charges he faces.

Karen Thorne said she was "very frustrated" in her attempts to calm the young girl on the crowded jet. She said difficulties began when she and her husband, Richard, met the 4-year-olds at an orphanage in Voronezh, about 12 hours north of Moscow by train. She said one child cried frequently and the other was initially warm, but then became aggressive and hard to manage. She said the children were difficult to control on a shopping trip in Moscow and while waiting to board the plane to New York. Three Texas men who were on the flight with their own newly adopted children said they saw the Thornes hit the girls. The Thornes were arrested upon landing and the girls were placed in foster homes, first in New York and now in Arizona, where the Thornes are permitted supervised visits. The Thornes have been charged with assault, harassment and endangering the welfare of the children. The Thornes speak only English; the children only Russian. Copyright 1997 The Associated Press.

Jonathan cried out, waking the other members of the Magic Circle instantly. They quickly rose and gathered around the GraphiScreen hovering over the old oak table. Subject: Re: [Pigdog] ViaCrypt slowly executes Timmy C. May From: Flesh <flesh(a)pigdog.org> To: pigdog-l(a)arlington.com, cypherpunks(a)toad.com Does the fireBot work well with the throwemupagainstthewallandaimfortheheadBot? Cowboy recognized the significance immediately. "A thousand Points of Presence." "UUNETWorldCom?" Alexis asked, surprised. Jonathan nodded, adding, "And they're moving faster and quieter than they did in history as we have known it, up to now." He began reading off the list he had compiled in just a short time, "Fiber, Digital Microwave, Satellite, Undersea Fiber Cable. Financial markets, telecommunications, construction, health care, and politics. "They seem to be putting all of the 'usual suspects' under one flag, around the globe." A Player To Be Named Later scanned the series of posts, for the thousandth time. "It's dejavu, all over again." he said, quoting a Yogi Berra malapropism. The feeling had been growing on him The feeling that somehow, everything was the same as beforeonly different. "The Lake of Life has started to turn over. The bottom is rising to the top, the top is descending to the bottom, and everything is becoming the opposite of what it seems to be." A Player To Be Named Later sat quietly, contemplating what it was that had changed, only somehow not changed, since the last time the lake had turned over on the CypherPunks mailing list. He thought about "WebWorld & the Mythical Circle of Eunuchs." He began to see the parallel between the history of the creation of WebWorld and the creation of the CypherPunks distributed list. There was the subterfuge which had preceded both the Channel Revolution which foreshadowed WebWorld and the Censorship Crisis which had presaged the CypherPunks distributed mailing list. There were the climaxes that precipitated the structural changes in both cases, the satellite destruction in the one case, and the loss of toad.com as host to the mailing list in the other case. There were the parallels with outside attacks ceasing on both the CypherPunks distributed mailing lists and the variety of Channels on WebWorld, in an attempt to let the citizens/members bond with their new channels/lists. One parallel-or two, depending on how you looked at it-in particular, which stood out in the mind of A Player To Be Named Later. There were three CypherPunks distributed lists-at algebra.com, ssz.com, and at cyberpass.net. Likewise, there was a reference to the Money Channel Government in WebWorld having three channels under its control. Then, there was the strange, strange saga of three religious channels-the God Channel, the Dualist Channel, and the Trinity Channel-which had somehow merged, yet not merged, creating a problem which had left the 'powers that be' very, very nervous. "What the hell happened to Channel War I?" A Player To Be Named Later, asked himself, suddenly recognizing a glaring disparity between the parallels he was drawing between the history of WebWorld and the history of the CypherPunks list. "And what the hell happened to InfoWar?" he asked, turning to Baby, who stood up and barked her agreement that there was definitely something fishy going on that involved the two shadow wars that had somehow been misplaced in the annals of history-one in the future, and one in the past. In 'WebWorld', both the reference to the three Money Channel Governments and reference to the three spiritual channels which became one, yet didn't, revolved around the close of Channel War I. But there didn't seem to be a parallel to Channel War I in the Time-Line of the CypherPunks list. Likewise, 'WebWorld' began with a reference to an 'InfoWar Scrambler Mechanism' which seemed to indicate that 'InfoWar' would play a major part in the history of 'WebWorld & the Mythical Circle of Eunuchs.' Yet there were only a few later references in Part II of The True Story of the InterNet in regard to "the beginning stages of InfoWar," with no further details. A Player To Be Named Later strained to touch the wispy haze of memory which was rising somewhere in the back of his mind-a memory which whispered "InfoWar" from somewhere deep in the heart of the CypherPunks mailing list censorship crisis. "Toto!" he said, suddenly feeling a ferocious stinging sensation behind his right ear, which resulted in a loss of balance as he fell to the floor, and a loss of consciousness as the blackness closed in around him The tattered remnants of the Magic Circle of the future sat quietly around the antique oak table, anxious and depressed. "Why is the Trei Transponder receiving interference from Toto's digital implant?" Priscilla asked the group. "All of my monitoring tests show that the last adjustments we made to the Zooko Zamboni were up to Journeyman standards." "Perhaps it is a result of the differences in the winter climates between the Netherlands and Canada." Jonathan said. "It seems to me that the effects of Global Warming were just beginning to have undeniably noticeable effects in that particular epoch." The Cowboy got up and paced a bit, as the others realized he was working up the courage to say what they were all thinking. "Or.." he hesitated, then turned to face the others and continued, "perhaps the rebirth of InfoWar reflects that our efforts toward changing the past have not only been successful, but are now irrevocable." Jonathan pulled up a passage of 'WebWorld' onto the GraphiScreen, contemplating what he had originally perceived as the failure of InfoWar during the hotly contested battle which took place on the CypherPunks list during the censorship crisis. "January 19, 1997. "The beginning date of the 'moderation experiment' on the legendary CypherPunks mailing list. The beginning probe in preparation for the launching of InfoWar-an experiment which had failed miserably and had caused a delay in the plans of the Evil One. A delay caused by the damnable insolence of the terminal misfits among the CypherPunks. An insolence that was rumored to be fueled by the Circle of Eunuchs, fanning the 'flames' of dissent among the CypherPunks, helping them to resist the herding of their list members into the group-mindset desired by the Evil One." The other members of the Circle of Eunuchs sat still in their seats, not wanting to disturb the deep thoughts of Jonathan, who was indeed the Last True CypherPunk, having grown up at their feet, immersed in their logic and their lore, and whose whole life had been ruled by his connection to the infamous anarchists who had been, alternately, both the shining light of freedom and privacy in their era, and the treacherous instigators of Channel War II-the war which had led to the ultimate triumph of the Gomez and the Dark Allies and the conclusive ascent of the Dark Forces in their domination of WebWorld under the dictum of the Evil One. The room was quiet as Jonathan reluctantly pulled up the next passage of 'WebWorld' which had described his feelings when his bereft past had come back to haunt him. "Jonathan sat frozen in his seat, once again, his brain locked from the major dichotomies being produced as a result of his present-in which the CypherPunks were a villainous band of rogues who had instigated the launching of Channel War II-and his past, in which his grandfather had been exposed both as one of the major players in both the launching of Channel War II, and as traitorous scum who had sabotaged the goals of the CypherPunks in that same historical battle. "Jonathan's grandfather wasn't just a CypherPunk. He was the Fool." "We won" Jonathan's voice trailed off, before he rose from the table and repeated his statement, in anger. "We won, damn it! "I know we won. Grandfather knew we won the censorship battle. Everyone knew that we won the censorship battle. History itself knows that we wonwe" Jonathan stopped short, turning to stare at the others, who were staring back. "Jonathan" Bubba said softly. "History has changed." "I know that, damn it!" Jonathan resumed his pacing, knowing that he was missing something very, very important, but he couldn't for the life of him think what it might possibly be. The others in the room watched and waited, knowing that it was Jonathan, and Jonathan alone, whose heritage was intricately and irrevocably linked to the era in history which they had, for better or worse, interfered in through their use of the Trei Transponder. "Grandfather was a traitor to the CypherPunksa traitor to freedom and privacy. He sabotaged everything that the CypherPunks had fought so hard to defend, since the inception of their anarchist, cryptography mailing list. "But the CypherPunks loved us" Jonathan was lost in memories of a childhood in which he and his family had been forced to remain in constant motion, staying a half-step ahead of the Dark Allies, who had been hunting down the last remaining members of the CypherPunks-with a vengeance. His family had been soundly welcomed by the remaining CypherPunks, in their flight to freedom after his Grandfather's assassination. They had given the family food, clothing, shelter, and warned them when the Dark Allies were closing in, and it was once again time to flee. Duncan Frissell had even Perhaps they all had Jonathan sank to the floor, slowly, with Alexis leaping up and catching him softly. Cowboy helped her guide him toward the table and lower him into a chair. Jonathan slowly pulled off his shirt and stared at his tattoothe Mark of the Toad. "Duncan Frissell arrived at our last safe house, in the middle of the night." Jonathan spoke, finally understanding the real story behind his family's flight into obscurity. "He warned us to flee, but it was too latethe Dark Allies were close at hand." Jonathan's voice was full of amazement as he recounted an event which he had long known, but had never managed to fully understand. "Duncan held the Dark Allies at bay, while we made our escape. I can still hear his screams" Jonathan shuddered, then began shaking terribly. Alexis closed her arms around him, hugging him lightly. "Your Grandfather knew that the CypherPunks had lost the battle." Bubba picked up the thread. The other members of the Magic Circle looked on, mystified as to this strange turn of events which turned the whole history of the CypherPunks and the Circle of Eunuchs on hits head. "It wasn't a censorship battle." the Cowboy said, amazed as much by what he was saying as those listening to him were. "It was InfoWar!" "That's what happened to InfoWar." Alexis cried out, in disbelief of her own words. "It was over before it had begun." Bubba d'Shauneaux IV rose to his feet, and filled in the details of the battle as could only be done by one who had spent a lifetime of subterfuge playing a role which was the exact opposite of what it had seemed to be from surface appearances. "It was the first battle fought solely within the bounds of Virtual Reality." "It represented the true nadir point in history when the battle between the Forces of Light and the Forces of Darkness moved beyond the physical plane and into the minds of mankind." "InfoWar!" he roared, the word reverberated throughout the room, sending the Trei Transponder into a soft hum which grew louder and louder, with a pitch that went lower and lower until it became subsonic, unheard, but shaking the roomthe eartheven WebWorld itself... The Trei Transponder exploded with a mighty boom, shaking the room so violently that the tattered remnants of the Magic Circle were thrown from their chairs, and found themselves rising to see only ruins around them, where their safe house had once been. They immediately realized that they must flee at once, as those investigating the explosion would undoubtedly be the Dark Allies, fully aware that the event had rent WebWorld at the seams. Jonathan paused, weapon in hand, covering the retreat of d'Shauneaux, who had remained behind to remove the last traces of evidence that the Circle of Eunuchs had ever truly been there. As d'Shauneaux joined him, motioning for him to proceed, he took one last look at the shattered remains of the Trei Transponder. All contact with the CypherPunks of the past was now gone, with little hope of it being renewed. Silently, he sent a message to the CypherPunks of his youth-from the bottom of his soul and into the inestimable profundity of the Tao. It was a message that would be understood by those who had been at Woodstock-a physical gathering of a Magic Circle which had come into physical being through a random blessing of Time and Chance. "You're on you own, folksbecause we're sure on ours." Those who fail to learn from the future, are doomed to repeat it.

anonymous poster quality up

17 Dec '03

I notice that the quality of anonymous submissions to the discussion here on cypherpunks has increased markedly lately. I can see a couple of reasons why this might be: Monty Cantsin seems to write consistently good stuff, Tim May announced he may be using some nyms, and we have this big argument with PGP Inc where their employees may feel pressure not to speak out of line. One suspects that some of the anonymous contributors exploring the issues are actually PGP employees:-) Regardless of who the new anonymous contributors are, it's nice to see quality anonymous posts, keep it up!

Where is _my_ blowjob?
by TruthMonger 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Visited the CNN website earlier. I wasn't at all surprised to see the factual errors and pandering to government spoon feeders for the main sources of many CNN stories. After all, when Captial Hill'$ bottom feeders give away fify billion dollars worth of valuable digital airwave bandwidth, I expect them to ask for a few extras thrown in with the usual bribes and blow-jobs. So it was no great surprise to find CNN still reporting the LIE that the child-rapist/murderer in New Jersey had been a victim of a sexual predator he had met on the InterNet, despite the fact that the news services who *aren't* part of the fifty billion dollar giveaway of taxpayer-citizen's public resources have been reporting the FACTS for quite some time now. Seems the guy bopping the murderer met him on a 1-900 line. Should I hold my breath waiting for the loud calls by reporters and legislators for strict new laws taking away citizens' rights to free speech on the phone systems of America, or would that be dangerous to my health? I know that CNN also has to fill in a few spaces between government spoon-fed mind-control propaganda being fed to the citizens by the recipients of the public largess, so that CNN is forced to throw in a few quickie references to some other websites and information other than that which comes directly out of the assholes of Lying Fuck Freeh and Nazi Cunt Reno, such as: Crime on the Superhighway http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/6647/ Investigator Lynn Zwicke However, did somebody on the staff get a blow-job in return for putting a supposed NEWS pointer to this schmuck's ADVERTISEMENT for his or her PI business? I certainly hope that this is the case, since someone should have gotten *something* for opening CNN up to a lawsuit for providing a pointer to an incompetent schmuck who is spreading extremely bad FUD (fear, uncertainty, disinformation) in regard to child abuse and abusers, in order to turn a quick buck. I imagine that CNN has some fine-print disclaimer somewhere, explaining that they are not responsible for the victims of incompetent and perhaps unlicensed schmucks that CNN blesses with their own reputation capital when directing people to supposed news/information sites, but I doubt that the parent of an abused child or a falsely accused child abuse victim is going to be to impressed, nonetheless, with CNN's lack of integrity in not spending the time, effort and expense needed to make certain that they are not throwing their trusting readers into the mouths of waiting hyenas. I'm still waiting for the CNN story which replies to the DoJ and FBI *HANDOUTS* detailing their list of 4,000 suspected pedophiles, with a question as to whether some of the 800 LEA's present at the murder of the religious group in Waco perhaps didn't have some extra time on their hands that might have been better spent investigating all of these alleged pedophiles, rather than pushing and shoving each other to get pictures of burning children. OK, I'm holding my breath, starting........NOW! TruthMonger

The Government routinely lies to the citizens it allegedly represents. It infringes on the rights guaranteed those citizens by the Constitution.

If your neighbor knows the addresses of your X-10 units and his power comes off the same transformer as yours, he can easily turn your lights on and off. The only thing protecting you (besides obscurity) is the transformer that isolates your power line from others. X-10 doesn't use any type of FM signal. It simply transmits bits in the zeros of the ac power 'signal'. It only get 120bps and most signals are repeated 3 times (even with that, the signal sometimes gets lost in the line noise), so really you only get 40bps. A command consists simply of [address],[command]. The address is 8 bits long, I dont' remember how long the command is. In X-10 speak, and address is [A-P] [1-16]. The commands are on,off,bright,dim,all-lights-on, and a few others. There's no security, no encryption, not even collision detection when using more than one transmitter. Now, there a new system called cebus, but it's over 10X more expensive. I don't know too much about it. -- Phelix
