Re: Why are you bouncing my mail to Cypherpunks?

The antispam assholes suddenly blocked domain ix.netcom.com. (an amazing thing to do, all in all, and shows how far away from reality can people be carried out by religion) It turned out that sendmail at our mail relay site was ckecking their "blackhole DNS database". I deleted all the rules that refer to them and now things seem to be OK. I am sorry for your troubles, Bill. Thanks for letting me know. igor Bill Stewart wrote: > > Hi, Igor - this bounced.

Payne-Morales vs. NSA: Memorandum Opinion and Order
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Tuesday 5/5/98 7:17 AM Lawyers and MCs Morales and I met on Monday to discuss strategy for response to Payne-Morales vs. NSA: Memorandum Opinion and Order which is cross-linked at http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ from http://www.jya.com/whp043098.htm We will, of course, file Rule 52. Findings by the Court; Judgment on Partial Findings (a) Effect. In all actions tried upon the facts without a jury or with an advisory jury, the court shall find the facts specially and state separately its conclusions of law thereon, and judgment shall be entered pursuant to Rule 58; and in granting or refusing interlocutory injunctions the court shall similarly set forth the findings of fact and conclusions of law which constitute the grounds of its action. Requests for findings are not necessary for purposes of review. Findings of fact, whether based on oral or documentary evidence, shall not be set aside unless clearly erroneous, and due regard shall be given to the opportunity of the trial court to judge of the credibility of the witnesses. The findings of a master, to the extent that the court adopts them, shall be considered as the findings of the court. It will be sufficient if the findings of fact and conclusions of law are stated orally and recorded in open court following the close of the evidence or appear in an opinion or memorandum of decision filed by the court. Findings of fact and conclusions of law are unnecessary on decisions of motions under Rules 12 or 56 or any other motion except as provided in subdivision (c) of this rule. (b) Amendment. On a party's motion filed no later than 10 days after entry of judgment, the court may amend its findings--or make additional findings--and may amend the judgment accordingly. The motion may accompany a motion for a new trial under Rule 59. When findings of fact are made in actions tried without a jury, the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the findings may be later questioned whether or not in the district court the party raising the question objected to the findings, moved to amend them, or moved for partial findings. motion. Lawyers, we suspect that the possibility that Campos wrote the 56 page document is remote. Reason is that informants within the federal court system have told us that the government lawyers write the opinion and order, then gives them to the judge to sign. Morales and noticed in previous cases that material not presented to judges were appearing in the judges documents. So when we study the document we will be looking for 1 material cited by Campos which Campos did not or should not have in his possession 2 introduction of legal citations not presented to the court by either plaintiffs or defendant. A judge is supposed to judge, not help either side. 3 felony violations of the False Statement Act. We learned from an Hispanic lawyer that government lawyers give false citations of case law to a judge to have the judge agree and dismiss the plaintiff's case. Morales and I still have been unable to obtain docket sheets from the Tenth circuit for cases No. 94-2205, Payne v Sandia and 95-2204, Morales v Sandia. We both won but crooked federal judges gave the win to Sandia. Morales and my main purpose in filing the NSA genocide and deficient crypto algorithm lawsuit was to expose corruption in the US federal court system. A side purpose an international public service to expose technical details of NSAs bungled spy stingS so that congress can take some action to remedy damage done by US intelligence agencies. Albuquerque Journal 4/21/98 page A6 reports what happened. U.S. Aided Communist Foe Pol Pot Richard Reeves LOS ANGELES - ... Even after he fell from national power, we helped supply and protect Pol Pot because the Khmer Rouge was tying down large number of occupying North Vietnamese troops. These are some of the names of the evil who were or still are paid friends: o Saddam Hussein, paid for making war on Iran. o Gulbuddin Hekmatry, who made his name throwing acid in the faces of female students in Kabul who dared to wear western dress, paid for making was against communists in Afghanistan. o The Taliban, the religious warriors we helped train to fight communists who are beating or killing those same women right now in Afghanistan. o Manuel Noriega, the soldier-thug we encouraged to overthrow elections in Panama because we did not like the results. o Mobuto Sese Seko, one Joseph Mobutu, our man in Zaire. o Jonas Savimbi, in constant war in Angola The list goes on. It has for a long time and will, even if communism is dead as a national security threat of the United States. In may of these cases our interest involved resources - oil, usually, ... Settlement should be made QUICKLY Before something possibly VERY UNFORTUNATE happens. Also, I needed legal delivery practice prior to filing a Privacy Act and defamation lawsuit. Let's all hope for settlement. Later bill

I agree on you opinion of the use of analogies, at large. The stigma is real (as in "happening") but it is nevertheless a load of bull since it is the result of the population misconceptions, of being brainwasher by the apostles of political correctness. The quintessential aspects of guns in a free society is that they are Liberty's teeths. Crypto is also the same, only after the teeths have been bashed in... I argued this over the Canadian Firearms Digest list.

The analogy of crypto = padlock lack something. A padlock can *always* pried open. A court order can always be issued to open it. So Joe Enforcment will be on it's way with it's crowbars, liquid N2, saws and/or torches and do his duty. It will be no loss of time to him. Strong encryption is different. No matter what Joe Enforcment try, the crypto lock won't give away (well, at least, this is what we assume here). Working on it means just one thing: absolute waste of ressources. AFA Joe Enforcement is concerned, a gun has some of the same potentiality: try to force it and you also risk an absolute waste of ressources. From a human standpoint, it might look different, but if you make abstraction of human life (like most dictators do), some of the effects are similar.
