Latency may be a means to get security in the current remailer design, but it is a means to the end and not the end itself. This doesn't mean we shouldn't use latency to get security, but it is undesirable, like using cinderblocks for construction. The reason I point this out is that it is important to separate design choices to achieve a goal from the goal itself. If we had a remailer network in which each customer had a constant bandwidth connection to one or more remailers, you could have zero latency mail. (Actually, this would be nice to use with those Comsec phones.) It is my understanding that serious naval vessels like aircraft carriers use constant bandwidth channels to defeat traffic analysis. That is, to every place they might wish to communicate, they continuously broadcast encrypted information. Most of the time the channel is empty, of course, but nobody outside can tell when.

Pauline hanson's One Nation Newsletter
by Global Web Builders 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Pauline Hanson's Monthly electronic newsletter: October 1997 Issue: 1.3 nsw There are several issues that we would like to cover this month. They are all very important and need your support to create the momentum we need to address the wrongs that are currently taking place in Australia. ___________________________ 1) Petition to the Prime Minister: Firstly please take a moment to sign the on-line petition to the Prime Minister's office demanding that he not be pressured into putting One Nation last on the How to Vote cards at the next Federal Election: The petition is at: http://www.gwb.com.au/petition.html ___________________________ 2) The Canadian experience - Canada is now being divvyed up into independent states. Pauline Hanson's press release at: http://www.gwb.com.au/onenation/press/011097.html looks at the implications to you. The architect of Canada's break up is now living in Brisbane and advising the Aboriginal Central Land Council on how to go about divvying Australia up into a number of Aboriginal States financed by the Australian Federal Government! ___________________________ D O N A T I O N S P L E A S E...... 3) One Nation is growing (we now have nearly 200 branch offices established) and we need you to put your hand in your pocket to keep this growth on course. We have established a web site called 'Take a byte for Australia'. http://www.gwb.com.au/pledge.html We aim to raise $100,000 through the Internet during this financial year. We know that this is a big ask but if you believe that the on-line service provides value and if you would like to help One Nation please 'Take YOUR byte for Australia now'. A gauge will display how well we are going towards achieving this target of on-line donations to One Nation. You can print out a donation form and send it to Pauline Hanson's One Nation head office in Sydney. Donations of up to $100 are fully tax deductable. ___________________________ 4) Important Internet addresses: Pauline Hanson's One Nation: http://www.gwb.com.au/onenation Pauline Hanson's One Nation press releases: http://www.gwb.com.au/onenation/press/press.html The Hanson Phenomenon: http://www.gwb.com.au/hanson.html Archive of One Nation launch and branch launches: http://www.gwb.com.au/gwb/onenation ____________________________ Thank you for your support.

Donated machines (stuffed with ecash, >I hope) may be sent to:... I will seriously consider it. Were I to do this, I would like to donate the money to the EFF, preferably through an ecash payment. Then, you can buy a 486 you consider to be suitable. Also, donations to the EFF are tax deductible, are they not? What would be the odds of naming it the "Cantsin Remailer"? Just curious. ;-) The more I think about affinity remailers, the less off the wall they seem to me. It would really be rather neat if EFF supporters could send a message through your remailer and then have the outgoing message stamped with the amount contributed. For those operating anonymously it buys a mild amount of credibility, but you could also imagine people sending non-anonymous messages through it: "See everybody! I gave $100 to the EFF!" The publicity alone would probably be worth it for the first organization to start doing this. It should be good for a few newspaper articles. And it's certainly a novel and fun way to raise money.

Got a reference on this? All my experience (setting up networks and providing technical support during Desert Storm) and references indicate they use SS and burst transmitters for this. An aircraft carrier with a continous CW is a sitting duck. It's like being a grunt and wearing a floodlight. Consider, if you can use the transmissions to strike the target who cares what they are sending now, they won't be sending anything in a couple of minutes. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there | | be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. | | | | -Alan Greenspan- | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.

A panel of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said criminalization of its economy would make normal state-to-state relations with Russia impossible if left unchecked. Some 200 Russian organized crime groups operated worldwide after thrusting their "tentacles throughout Russia's economy" and gaining the ability to manipulate its banking system and financial markets, the CSIS panel said in a report. It said the erosion of legitimate government authority in Russia endangered international efforts in peacekeeping, nuclear non-proliferation and economic restructuring. "The most important, and perhaps the most significant and troubling finding of the task force, is that, at the level of state-to-state interaction, it will become impossible for the United States and other states to have traditional satisfactory dealings with an emergent Russian criminal-syndicalist state," the CSIS panel report said. It defined such a state as one shot through with bureaucratic corruption, full-time "professional criminals" and businessmen for whom existing Russian law was simply an obstacle to be overcome. "In many respects such a criminal-syndicalist state already exists in Russia today," said the CSIS panel, citing government, business and academic leaders. It said corruption that pervades "every level of Russia's bureaucracy" was the major hurdle to thwarting organized crime there. William Webster, who headed both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency in the 1980s, was chairman of the steering committee under which the CSIS report on Russian organized crime was prepared. In a preface to the report, Webster and Arnaud de Borchgrave, the CSIS Global Organized Crime project director, said roughly two-thirds of Russia's economy was already "under the sway" of crime syndicates involved in protection rackets. "The majority of private enterprises and commercial banks are compelled, by force if necessary, to pay protection in the amount of 10 percent to 30 percent of their profits" to organized crime groups, it said. The CSIS panel urged President Clinton to describe Russian organized crime publicly as a threat to U.S. national security, notably because of the danger of losing control of its nuclear arsenal. It said the United States should prod partners in the Group of Seven rich industrial nations to discuss an investment treaty to deny export credits to Western firms doing business with organized-crime controlled firms in Russia. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The newspaper, quoting U.S., European and Latin American law enforcement officials, said the Russian groups were also opening banks and front companies across the Caribbean, largely using them to launder millions of dollars from drug sales and other criminal activities. The officials were quoted as saying that the growing alliances between Russian and Colombian criminal organizations were the most dangerous trend in drug smuggling in the Western Hemisphere. Barry McCaffrey, the Clinton administration's national drug control policy director, said the Russian groups were among the "most threatening criminal organizations based in the United States." The newspaper quoted him and other sources as saying that the Russian groups offered drug cartels access to sophisticated weapons and brought access to new drug markets in the former Soviet Union at a time when consumption was falling in the United States. The sources told the Post recent undercover operations had detected attempts by Russian groups to sell Colombian drug traffickers a submarine, helicopters and surface-to-air missiles.
