It's been part of the Australian sporting ethos that politics and sport shouldn't mix. But mix it did during the 1971 Springbok Rugby Union tour of Australia. What an explosive mix it was! The tour was marked by violent demonstrations against the team because of the South African Government's apartheid policies. Wherever the Springboks travelled, they were greeted by demonstrations, and those demonstrations reached a crescendo in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, when the tourists took the field. In Queensland, where Joh Bjelke-Peteson was premier at the time, a state of emergency was declared to allow the matches to be played. But the ugliest violence took place in Melbourne, when 138 demonstrators were arrested and five police were treated in hospital following clashes before, during and after the match against Victoria at Olympic Park. In Sydney 100 people were arrested.In Melb.1 P.I.Gs was carried off after a firecracker went off next to his ear.Police horses were charging at full gallop the length of the pitch as a deafening unending racket went on.Most violent demo I ever went on. They galloped right over at least 2 pitch invaders.

Enough is Enough.Plans for a Fall uprising.
by Matthew X 10 Sep '02

10 Sep '02

Call for a dual mobilization for total liberation. Or rather- a Fall uprising. In Fall- the streets of DC, and Denver, CO will erupt. 2 forces made up of many movements with much historical/herstorical precedent will converge. The anti-capitalist, the anti-imperialist, the anti- colonialist, the anti-authoritarian, the anti-patriarchy, the anti- white supremacy will all take to the streets in these 2 cities. MORE ON http://www.raisethefist.com/news.cgi?artical=wire/----9862933t4a.article Current Threats to America Current Threats to America Include "a Loose Alliance of Left-Wing Groups" A recent "threat assesment" issued by the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center has identified global justice activists as a potential terrorist threat. The memo, entitled "First Anniversary of the September 11th Attacks And Other Dates of Interest," notes that "there are several notable events scheduled in the near future which warrant heightened awareness." It lists the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks; upcoming United Nations meetings in New York City; and the World Bank and International Monetary Fund meeting in Washington, DC, during the period September 25-29th. The bulletin, which has attracted mainstream media attention, goes on to contend that "prior protests against the IMF and WB in Washington, D.C. were disruptive and resulted in limited clashes with police...historically, tiny contingents of individuals associated with the protests belonged to violent groups." While this is not the first time that elements of the Global Justice Movement have been the targets of FBI scrutiny, the inclusion of WB / IMF protests in a memo dealing with largely foreign terrorism may represent an escalation of US Government harassment. Read and discuss the full memo. [ New York City IMC | Washington D.C. IMC ]

LEDX Latest.
by Matthew X 10 Sep '02

10 Sep '02

The forerunner of the Law Enforcement Data Exchange (LEDX) was a system known as DocuShare, developed and marketed by Stamford, Conn.-based Xerox Corp. The product started out as a way for five company research centers to collaborate and share information, said Colman Murphy, Xerox's DocuShare product manager. "So they designed it to be secure but also to make it very easy for distributed work groups to build collaborative spaces and to share information," he said. "So it has a lot of security capabilities built into it, like the user name and password control on not just areas of the DocuShare server...but actually right down to each individual document. "The users themselves get to control that access. I, as the user, can decide who else can view this document down to the individual level. Also, the site itself can be administered among the users. So it distributes the administration mode across the organization. You don't have to have a large [information technology] organization to set it up, to administer it, to manage the content, to give people permission. All of that can be distributed across the organization." Murphy said the product could store any document in its original format. The application also includes filters to convert more than 200 file formats to HTML quickly and easily. Larry Hunt, chief engineer and chief executive officer of Integrated Digital Systems/ScanAmerica Inc., tried to come up with a better way to exchange information among the Internet Crimes Against Children task force centers. Because his company was one of Xerox's top value-added resellers and because he was familiar with DocuShare, Hunt modified the product and called it LEDX.

I really urge AAAS and the US government to focus first on the US Government, as it is not disputed that that entity was responsible for the processing and distribution of the Ames Strain of Anthrax, the only recent bio agent released in terrorist action resulting in fatalities in the US. It would be nice if the US Government would proceed to assign a whipping boy, who will of course show up dead somewhere, avoiding any need for messy trials, evidence, facts, etc., so we can all go back to granting unprecedented powers to our government. And the CIA needs Anthrax exactly why? Since we have signed treaties about bio warfare and development of agents for it, are we to understand that the CIA simply fills in for USAMRIID and CDC in developing defenses? Where in the CIA charter can I find biowar defense R&D? Right. In the meanwhile, everyone should continue to be afraid --- very afraid. It expedites legislation when people are panicing or raised to high levels of emotion.

Intel Patents Anonymity Server
by John Young 10 Sep '02

10 Sep '02

http://cryptome.org/intel-anon.htm [Excerpt. There are 15 images in the patent.] Anonymity Server, May 14, 2002 Description BACKGROUND 1. Field The present invention relates to the field of communications. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for maintaining anonymous and traffic analysis resistant communications over a communication link. 2. Related Art Over the last few years, personal and commercial usage of the Internet has increased dramatically. As a result, companies are beginning to monitor such usage for a number of reasons. For example, marketing companies can analyze Internet traffic in order to develop consumer profiles of various users or to obtain information about ongoing projects by a competitive company. In an attempt to thwart data collection through traffic analysis and provide message anonymity over public communication links like the Internet, anonymous remailers are now being provided. An "anonymous remailer" is a computer that receives an electronic message over a communication link from a sender and redirects that electronic message to an intended recipient. By encrypting audible and/or viewable data of the electronic message, the integrity and confidentiality of that data would be protected against unauthorized access by the operator of the anonymous remailer or an interloper. It is evident that the above-described conventional communication scheme would substantially ensure the preservation of the integrity and confidentiality of data within an electronic message. However, this conventional communication scheme fails to protect the integrity or confidentiality of data transmitted back to the original sender in the form of a response from the intended recipient. In certain situations, anonymous remailers have been configured to assign a unique tag to each original sender of an electronic message before the electronic message is redirected to the intended recipient. This tag is used as a secret key by the intended recipient to encrypt data contained in a response to the electronic message. However, to support this communication scheme, the anonymous remailer would have to decrypt the response with the tag and re-encrypt the response with the public key of the original sender because the intended recipient would have no knowledge of the original sender, namely a public key of the original sender. Since the operator responsible for the anonymous remailer would have access to the return path of the response, reliance on the integrity of that operator is required. Clearly, this substantially reduces the level of *security* of this communication scheme. Therefore, it would be desirable to create an electronic system and a corresponding method for maintaining anonymous and traffic analysis resistant communications over a communication link without dependence on the integrity of the system operator. -----
