"The wait is over," CIA Director George Tenet said at the festive drug launch, simulcast on giant-screen TVs throughout Watts, Cabrini Green, Newark, and other urban areas. "Inner-city Americans now have four exciting new ways to narcotize themselves, with the quality of product and wide distribution they've come to expect from the CIA." Reaction to the new drugs (see sidebar) was overwhelmingly positive. "They had a tough act to follow after crack," said New York-area Mafia boss Alfonse DiBiasi, Tenet's close friend and former college roommate. "But this new stuff is just as cheap and every bit as addictive. We're all very excited." President Clinton praised the CIA as well. "This is a win-win situation for all Americans," he said. "Inner-city Americans will receive the powerful drugs they love, and the CIA will raise the funds they can't get from Congress to get their Jonestown mind-control experiment up and running again." The new drugs are supported by months of CIA testing to ensure maximum potency and addictiveness. Focus groups, consisting primarily of homeless men and street orphans culled from ghettos around the country, were housed in an underground research facility beneath CIA headquarters in Langley, VA. Only after six months of exhaustive experimentation on members of this target demograph, who sampled hundreds of drugs, were the final decisions made. "Everybody loves me because I am so beautiful. Anything is possible. I am going to live a very long and happy life," said Oakland, CA, native Charles Simmons, who spent 10 weeks testing Blue Glass, the CIA's new smokable euphoric drug. Simmons then leapt out a window to his death. "I they I drugs these are very feel good right," said Dwayne Woodson of Bronx, NY, another CIA test participant. "Pork chops three for $2.99." CIA officials said that testing is necessary in order to avoid releasing potentially dangerous substances into the ghettos. "One initially promising drug was later discontinued due to undesirable side effects, such as increased intelligence and feelings of love for others," said Dr. Harold Vandermeer, head of the CIA's narcotics development team. Initial product rollout began this week in the ghetto neighborhoods of Los Angeles, Detroit and New Orleans, with all residents receiving a special drug-sampler pack in the mail, including a full-color, English-Spanish promotional pamphlet and instructional videotape. If the market response is as favorable as the CIA expects, the drugs should be available in every ghetto in the nation as soon as September 1st. "I thought I'd never say this," Tenet said, "but put down that crack pipe, ghetto-dwellers: You're going to love these new drugs." Tenet went on to state that none of the above events "ever happened" and categorically denied any CIA connection with the new drugs. --- end forwarded text ----------------- Robert Hettinga (rah(a)shipwright.com) Philodox e$, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, MA 02131 USA "... however it may deserve respect for its usefulness and antiquity, [predicting the end of the world] has not been found agreeable to experience." -- Edward Gibbon, 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' The e$ Home Page: http://www.shipwright.com/

"Leotards and the Law," morphed child porn lawsuit, from Netly

Would you be breaking the law? A federal judge in San Francisco ruled yesterday you would be, rejecting a court challenge to a 1996 law banning computer-generated erotic images that "appear" to be of children. U.S. District Judge Samuel Conti ruled the adult film industry, which brought the suit and argued no simulated minors appear in movies, shouldn't feel threatened by the law. "Plaintiffs' products do not fall into these categories," he said in a 16-page decision that upheld the Child Pornography Prevention Act as constitutional. Plaintiffs challenged the law as vague and overbroad, saying it "criminalizes forms of expression in violation of the First and Fifth Amendments." But Conti skirted the more controversial question: What if someone did use Photoshop to synthesize images of half-naked children? Would that bit-twiddling violate the First Amendment's guarantees of freedom of speech? What about an anthropology professor's computer-generated movie of the sex play of South Pacific teens? "This ruling resolves nothing of consequence," says Eric Freedman, a constitutional law professor at Hofstra Law School. "The judge never reached the real problems of the statute. That'll have to wait for another lawsuit." [...]

Memme: Crypto=Bullet Proof Vests
by Ray Arachelian 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I came up with this while on a bio break.... ITAR classifies crypto as munitions, but this is the same thing as telling someone who wishes to travel to a warring country that they may not buy a bullet proof vest, but they may buy an vest that will stop pebbles being thrown at them. This is equivalently reasoned that such vests could be used to rob banks and the theives could get away from the police - but how many bank theives have you known that were shot by the cops and not caught by other means? It believes that only the USA has bullet proof vests and it is a matter of national security that no one else have bullet proof vests. These aren't tactical weapons equivalent to 20MegaTon nukes, these are devices that help save lives. Meanwhile other countries have also created bullet proof vests, some that protect against high velocity bullets. We can understand that vest piercing bullets kill policemen and that they are reasonably outlawed, but if someone built a vest that would stop those we wouldn't be able to mail them to those fighting for democracy outside of the USA. In the case of crypto, crypto is a tool that saves your privacy. Why are we not allowed to have the ability to ship the tools needed to help protect privacy of say the students in China (for example) where any suspicion of disidence would be instantly punishable by death. For a country that is intent on making the world safe for democracy, we are sure doing a very bad job. Sure, a bullet proof vest can be used to protect a pornographer or a terrorist, but it will also save the lives of citizens, freedom fighters and children. How many parents who live in bad neighborhoods would object to their kids being able to wear bullet proof vests, could they afford them, while going to school? The recent bills thrown around in congress are attempting to do the equivalent of outlawing bullet proof vests, and only allowing pebble proof vests to be sold, or bullet proof vests that can be pierced by police. Would you want your kid to wear a vest that can be pierced by police fire? Maybe a stray bullet aimed at a drug dealer hitting your kid? Or maybe a criminal getting their hands on the same type of ammo and shooting your kid? We need our kids to wear Strong Bullet Proof vests! Next time they yell "But if it saves the life of one child" give them this. "But if strong crypto can save the life of one child freedomfighter, who are we to limit its use? Support strong crypto and protect the kids of the world!" (Preaching to the choire of course, but who knows maybe the crypto=bullet proof vest arguement will be useful to someone who can talk sense into the crypto clueless cognresscritters.) =====================================Kaos=Keraunos=Kybernetos============== .+.^.+.| Ray Arachelian |Prying open my 3rd eye.
