Jim Bell photos: http://www.mccullagh.org/cgi-bin/photosearch.cgi?name=jim+bell Day-by-day articles on Jim Bell's trial: http://www.cluebot.com/search.pl?topic=ap-politics --- http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,48779,00.html One of the Internet's most famous essayists is now in the same prison that once housed the most famous hacker. Jim Bell, the author of Assassination Politics, has been moved to the Lompoc ("lahm-poke"), California federal prison. It's the same place that convicted cracker Kevin Mitnick once called home. "I'm assigned out in the rec yard, the recreation yard, but there's really not much work to be done, occasionally picking up a cigarette butt or two," says Bell, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison this year for allegedly stalking federal agents. Bell says he was trying to investigate government wrongdoing. Bell describes Lompoc, located between Los Angeles and San Francisco, as "old and decrepit, and the place is corrupt and the guards are lazy." Previously, Bell was being held at the SeaTac prison near Tacoma, Washington, where his trial took place. Since he's got some time to kill, Bell has busied himself by filing civil lawsuits against people he alleges were involved in an orchestrated plot to deny him a fair trial and an unbiased, court-appointed defense counsel. So far he's targeted two judges, at least two prosecutors, and his former probation officers and defense attorneys. Bell says he hasn't had any response yet -- and is going to try to obtain a default judgment against the defendants. "I continue to remain astonished that I haven't received any answer out of my lawsuit yet. It doesn't bother me as long as I collect the money. I think I've hit a nerve." He's looking forward to "garnishment and putting liens on various people's property. If they wanted to write me a check, I'd take a check, I guess. But if they want me to go through the usual methods to collect it, I'll do that too."

The P2P surveillance society approaches... (fwd)

The FlyCam work at FujiXerox Palo Alto Labs (FXPal) is particularly interesting, since it is comparatively low cost, done mostly with off-the-shelf hardware. http://www.fxpal.com/smartspaces/flycam/flycam_home.htm Those of you who know about the Aspen Movie Map, a virtual reality tour of Aspen, Colorado performed in 1979 <http://www.artmuseum.net/w2vr/timeline/Naimark.html> will find the FlyAbout work to be familiar: http://www.fxpal.com/smartspaces/FlyAbout/index.htm The big difference is that now this capability is possible using standard, stock equipment. Oh, and having GPS around is a big help too. How do we make the surveillance society <http://ptclub.com/Endofprivacy.html> from these pieces? Miniaturize the cameras and associated electronics, and have a large number of people wear one. So far, just like in David Brin's novel "Earth" <http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/02.06.97/cover/brin1-9706.html>. Everyone records omnidirectional images of their surroundings, and records the positions they were in. Now, combine this with Peer-to-Peer technology. Allow everyone to search everyone else's image banks, based on geographic information. This require shifting existing P2P technology from a music-based metadata schema to one that is geospatially based. The schemas already exist: <http://www.state.wi.us/agencies/wlib/sco/metatool/mtools.htm>. Key factors keeping us from the surveillance society: * the cameras are too heavy, and too expensive * disk space is still too expensive (for compact, portable memory) * wireless transmission rates are still too slow * wireless access is not yet ubiquitous But, I think you'll agree that none of these are fundamental limitations (i.e., fixing these does not require breaking physical laws). When will we start seeing the start of the peer-to-peer surveillance society? I give it 10 years, maybe less. - Jim http://xent.com/mailman/listinfo/fork

Since it left the barrel much more slowly than a traditional round, gyroscopic stabilization was at a minimum at the start of the shell's path. A slight wobble at this point would translate into a large deviation at the target. Peter

Assasinating politics 2
by mattd 01 Dec '01

http://www.libertarian.to/index.html Table Of Contents : June 29 June 2001 Assasination politics. by Jim Bell An interesting proposition ?? Libertarian International's mission is to coordinate various initiatives in the defense of individual liberty throughout the world. Formally, Libertarian International is a non-profit foundation registered in the Netherlands. You can write to us at our snail mail address : P.O. Box 21, 2910 Essen, Belgium Our BANK ACCOUNT, where you can send your contributions is with the RABO BANK, A/C Libertarian International, number 17.43.35.350 We accept payments in E-gold. The E-gold account number of Libertarian International is :102265 If you do not yet have your own E-gold account, find out about it on e-gold.com Libertarian International has little time or need for bureaucracy and hierarchy. Hubert Jongen of the Netherlands is the president; Palle Steen Jensen in Copenhagen, Christian Michel in Geneva and Henrik Bejke are among the founding members, and you are welcome to get in touch with any of them for further information and contacts. Libertarian International's principles are based on libertarianism. While libertarians are a diverse group of people with many philosophical starting points, they share a defining belief: that everyone should be free to do as they choose, so long as they don't infringe upon the equal freedom of others. Human interaction should be voluntary, not coerced. The only time physical force is acceptable is when it is used to defend against force. Many libertarians frame this in terms of the non-aggression principle: no individual or group of individuals shall initiate force against the person or property of any other individual. This might not seem very radical. After all, your parents probably taught you not to cheat, steal or pick fights -- in other words, not to use force against others. What sets libertarians apart is that they don't make any exceptions to this principle -- not even for governments. In the libertarian view, governments should be held to the same standards of right and wrong as individuals. As a result, libertarians believe that governments should not interfere with the interactions and exchanges of peaceful people.

Assasinating politics
by mattd 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

Like bio-warfare,a subject that wont go away.AP is OK for the US and many other govts and the lunar right.Is it for you? politicalassasinations.com? I read a piece recently titled "Assasination Politics" and although I find the implications quite frightening, I must say that it seems to fit well within the whole Anarcho-Capitalist framework. The paper outlines an internet based system that would allow users to anonymously contribute money to a fund that would be used to place a pricetag on the head of a tyrannical despot. Collection of the bounty would also be done anonymously and electronically, due to the wonders of crypto. In theory, it would keep politicians on the straight and narrow. Interesting idea. I'm probably on an FBI list for posting a link to the paper on my site http://www.pjdoland.com/revolution/politics.html
