URGENT ACTION ITEM

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- =============================================== URGENT ACTION ITEM! FROM THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY =============================================== Watergate Office Building 2600 Virginia Avenue, NW, Suite 100 Washington DC 20037 Website: www.LP.org Email: pressreleases(a)hq.LP.org For information: (202) 333-0008 ext. 222 =============================================== December 14, 2000 =============================================== FBI agents plan protest at White House on Friday; Libertarians organize counterprotest! **************************** "Protest against the FBI! Meet us at 11:30am on Friday in Lafayette Park in front of the White House." (Further details below.) **************************** Dear Friends: A group of FBI agents plans to protest at noon tomorrow (Friday, Dec. 15) outside the White House to persuade President Clinton not to pardon Leonard Peltier, an American Indian leader convicted of killing two FBI agents in South Dakota in 1975. (See the article in Thursday's USA Today on page 19A, or go to http://www.usatoday.com/usatonline/20001214/2915953s.htm Americans who believe in equal justice under the law plan a peaceful counterprotest. Our point: If people who kill FBI agents belong in jail, don't FBI agents who kill ordinary Americans belong in jail as well? We are inviting you and your friends and colleagues to join us. We believe that equal justice under the law requires equal prosecution and equal punishment as well. Americans who commit criminal acts should be prosecuted -- regardless of whether they happen to work for the federal government. If Peltier remains in jail, justice requires that federal agents who have committed murder be sentenced to jail time as well. If they go free, so should he. Now imagine a huge group of us holding signs that say: "Thou shalt not kill. FBI, that includes you!" And: "Who pardoned Horiuchi?" We believe that's perfectly fair, because unfortunately, FBI and other federal agents who have killed innocent Americans have repeatedly gone free, in some cases free to kill again. Some examples: * FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi assassinated Vicki Weaver as she held her infant in her cabin at Ruby Ridge, Idaho in 1992. When it appeared Horiuchi would face state manslaughter charges, dozens of his FBI colleagues signed a petition to the court asking that he be set free because a trial would be "a traumatic ordeal for Lon and his family." FBI bureaucrats quietly managed to get the case transferred to a federal court, where a federal judge decided Horiuchi deserved "sovereign immunity" because he was acting "in his capacity as a federal law officer." Horiuchi was set free -- and the trigger-happy sniper later reappeared at Waco. * Dozens of FBI and BATF agents were involved in the shooting and burning deaths of 86 people, including 24 children, at Waco, Texas, on April 19, 1993. Despite photographic evidence that the FBI fired into the burning building, all government agents were exonerated by the government after a government investigation by the Danforth Commission earlier this year. (Is there a pattern here?) * On May 20, 1997, four Marines on an anti-drug patrol gunned down Esequiel Hernandez, Jr., a high school sophomore, as he herded goats on his own property in Redford, Texas, near the Mexico border. The Justice Department later described the killing of the boy, who was never even accused of drug smuggling, as a "tragic event" but refused to charge the Marines with a crime because there was "insufficient evidence that his constitutional rights were intentionally violated." We could cite countless other instances of agents for the FBI, BATF, FBI, DEA, and other agencies literally getting away with murder, but you get the point. It's outrageous enough that none of these government killers have been brought to justice -- but it's almost beyond belief that their colleagues have the nerve to demand that an individual who *has* been convicted and has served 24 years in prison, Leonard Peltier, should remain there while their own guilty colleagues go free. Because we don't want the FBI's ludicrous position that only non-federal agents should be jailed for committing murder to go unanswered, we'll be protesting their protest outside the White House. When 200 FBI agents protest outside the White House, that's news -- so if we're there we'll be news, too! We anticipate significant media coverage for our event, so please: * Dress well (and warmly) * Be there on time: 11:30am on Friday in Lafayette Park across from the White House. Note: Due to construction activities in the park, we may have to meet in our alternate location instead: right in front of the Old Executive Office Building, which is next to the White House. Look for the signs! * Bring as many other people as possible. * DO NOT BRING STICKS to attach to signs, because police can confiscate them as a "weapon" and arrest you. Please pass this e-mail on to your friends immediately, then follow up with a phone call. Time is short and we need to have a good turnout to take advantage of this guaranteed media opportunity.

[IP] Ohio politician busted for watching too much X-Files

"People have these GPS chips put in their pets and - in some case - in their children, in the event they are lost or kidnapped," Fox said. "I don't see why the same can't be done with probationees." ===================================================== False Hopes for Implants in Criminals By Sherrie Gossett | April 22, 2005 http://www.aim.org/media_monitor/3066_0_2_0_C/ The editorial was right when it stated such implantation raises serious legal, ethical and civil rights questions. But first it raises questions of factual accuracy. Why? Because there are no commercially available GPS implants in existence. The Florida company, Applied Digital Solutions (ADS), announced in December of 1999 that it had acquired the patent for a syringe-injectable GPS implant that was powered by muscle movement and could be remotely monitored. The location and movements of the host could be stored in a database for future reference, the company said. ADS recommended use of the technology for tracking felons and prisoners. But it is now over five years since ADS made that announcement and they have yet to produce any proof of such a device. _______________________________________________ EPIC_IDOF mailing list EPIC_IDOF(a)mailman.epic.org https://mailman.epic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/epic_idof ------ End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as eugen(a)leitl.org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/ ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07078, 11.61144 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE http://moleculardevices.org http://nanomachines.net [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]

One author of each accepted paper will be required to present the work at the workshop. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other conference or workshop with proceedings. Information about submissions may be shared with program chairs of other conferences for that purpose. Accepted Contributions Full paper submissions will be subject to a double-blind review. Accepted papers will be available as pre-proceedings at the conference. The post-proceedings are planed to be published within LNCS Springer, including the feedback of the workshop discussion and after the final approvement will Springer. *Deadlines* Conference of the paper.................... 31th July 2007 Notification of acceptance ...... 3th September 2007 Receipt of the final paper......... 19th October 2007 *Contact Address* Sirrix AG security technologies Ammar Alkassar Im Stadtwald, Geb.
