Prologue 7/0 -- SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS

Prologue 7/0 -- SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS ------------------------------------------ Bureau42 wrote: The unifying presence of CJ Parker seems to have disappeared, and the Circle of Eunuchs is in chaos. This is what's left - the cryptic saga, "Space Aliens Hide My Drugs!" I can only wonder what, if anything, this malarchy means. But it's occasionally amusing if nothing else. the bureau42 staff ----- Subject: A.Word.A.Day--chaos Date: Mon, 16 Mar 1998 00:07:19 -0500 From: Wordsmith <wsmith(a)wordsmith.org> To: linguaphile(a)wordsmith.org chaos (KAY-os) noun 1. A condition or place of great disorder or confusion. 2. A disorderly mass; a jumble. 3. Often Chaos. The disordered state of unformed matter and infinite space supposed in some cosmogonic views to have existed before the ordered universe. 4. Obsolete. An abyss; a chasm. [Middle English, formless primordial space, from Latin, from Greek khaos.] "But chaos is a condition of creativity, says Zarathustra - `one must have chaos in one, to give birth to a dancing star.'" Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm, Thus Spake Zarathustra: Part 1. ----- [Note from the Editor: CJ Parker, having had previous experience in playing a woman's role during his stint on 'Baywatch', has gone to ground recently, as have many other members of the Circle of Eunuchs, by re-entering the World of Myth, replacing the Parker woman in the TV series, 'The Pretender' (who died in a plane crash while giving Ron Brown the details of BadBillyC's sexual assault on her). This rather bizarre chain of events was precipitated by a warning he received regarding the return of Adolf Hitler to power, using the same Dimlluminati (The lights are on, but nobody's home...) process which was used to sweep Ronnie RayGuns into power as the chief leader of the Freeh(ee-hee) World. Those who have noticed the stunning blitzkrieg assault of a small college basketball team, Valparaiso, on their opponents in the NCAA tournament currently taking place, may have noticed the striking resemblance of Bryce Drew, their star player, to the child actor who was the main protagonist in the TV series, 'The Wonder Years.' This is no coincidence--they are, in fact, one and the same person. The diabolical process used to implant a respectable, patriotic image of Ronnie RayGuns in the mind of the American people, through the then-developing psychedelic opiate of Cinema/Television, is, in the present case, being extended to reinforce the image of the 'Wonder Boy' in an increasingly global environment, by extending the actor/ image persona into the sports arena--beginning at the college level. ("Win one for the Gipper...") The 'miracle shot' by Bryce Drew to lift the obscure college team to victory over Mississippi was a staged event which required several 'takes' before being successfully captured on film. The scene was shot in the same TV studio in which the original 'moon landing' was filmed. The same choreographers were used who worked on The Oklahoma City Players last major production, the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building. When asked for comment, a former Detroit Piston player who is now the owner of an NBA franchise, but wishes to remain anonymous, said, "If Bryce Drew and Ronald Reagan were black, they would have been just another pair of average actors." Knowledgeable individuals following the Reptilian Nazi conspiracy to emerge from their secret bunkers underneath the AdamAntArctic and Mule Shoe, Texas, recognize this quote as proof that the next step in this diabolical plot is to put the third clone (TV child- actor, college basketball player...-->...) of Adolf Hitler into place as the new 'white hope', replacing Larry Byrd as a member of the Boston Celtics. This shrewd move will help draw together, into a common cause, Fundamentalist Christians, White Supremacists, and East-coast factions of the Irish Republican Army. Circle of Eunuchs members attempting to expose this grand scheme of the Evil One have come under heavy attack recently. Dr. Dimitri Vulis KOTM, who was thrown out of the only CoE meeting he attended, had his InterNet account pulled shortly after putting up web site images of Bryce Drew, of Drew's alleged 'coach/father' and of Adolf Hitler. (Guess who Bryce *really* looks the most like...?) A forth clone of Hitler (rumored to be operating under the code name of 'Lucky Green' and involved in an incestuous relationship with his aunt, E. Christ--currently operating under the alias of Anne R. Christ) is being prepared, within the bowels of the crypto-community, to emerge as the future leader of the New World Order--in the position of Information Monitor/Director of the United Statism of Mind.] ----- Subject: Re: Freedom.

It's a facet of human nature involved in the survival mechanism. Further, there is no judgement involved, it's an easily verifiable quality of human psychology that prisoners begin to associate with their captors after a short period. What it is in this context is the recognition that prisoners of a political system will after a fashion begin to accept that system. Just look at the cry by many to return to the socialist system after the fall of the CCCP in 1990. ____________________________________________________________________ Those who suppress freedom always do so in the name of law and order.

As Depew and Weber has expressed it 'natural selection at the level of individuals and the notion of fitness used to measure it, is itself poised on the edge of chaos' (Depew and Weber, 1995): 'The fitness of various sorts of organisms is not necessarily, or even probably, enhanced by superiority in a single trait... In fact, the emergence of the ability to take advantage in resource competitions of an indefinitely number of often infinitesimally small differences creates degrees of freedom, in both the technical and the ordinary senses, well beyond what can be achieved by merely chemical and physical systems. It also creates more variables and interactions among them than can be tracked. It is impossible, then, to reduce the components of fitness to any single language or system of variables' (ibid, 471). The number of possible solutions for selection to scrutinise, and the subtlety of the communicational interactions, will tend to produce a no-win situation. As a result selection cannot really measure the stakes of single players (individuals, demes, or species) in the game, but it could still influence the choice of the game itself. Plays, not players, are selected for. ~Jesper Hoffmeyer Biosemiotics: Towards a New Synthesis in Biology European Journal for Semiotic Studies, Vol. 9 No. 2, 1997, pp 355-376. ----- It was the work of Jesper Hoffmeyer, in the field of Biosemiotics, which led to the development of an artificial life/intelligence form capable of self-development/evolution, at Sandia Laboratories--by Reptilian Nazis. Their Cyborg technology had reached the point where it could finally be mass-produced when Bill Payne, a Sandia-NISTA employee, downloaded all the relevant technological files to a fellow Circle of Eunuchs member operating clandestinely within the bowels of a secret government laboratory (code-named 'Lost Alamo' by CoE psychophants). Although the Reptilian Nazis sent the Shadow back in time to eliminate the threat of the Circle of Eunuchs, by eliminating the Author in a sleazy motel room in southern Saskatchewan, the Circle of Eunuchs, taking advantage of the Trei Transponder technology developed by the CypherPunks, made contact with the resident of a Home For The Criminally Insane, in the same era, and used Biosemiotic theory to transfer biological communication-information to a digital implant he had received as part of a government experiment designed to control the minds of the members of the CypherPunks Distributed Remailer lists. The resulting events have long been the basis for certain mythologies concerning the Mythical Circle of Eunuchs, with the basic theme of the CoE reality being mirrored from time to time in the mythology- substitute of the era--Literature/Cinema/Television. (e.g. - Animal Farm, 1984, War of the Worlds, Terminator (I & II), X-Files, Pretender, Millennium, Journey to the East, The Magus, etc.) ---- The Bureau42 statement, "The unifying presence of CJ Parker seems to have disappeared, and the Circle of Eunuchs is in chaos." was an alert to CoE members to pay special attention to a commincation which ultimately came from a CoE collective known as 'WordSmith': "But chaos is a condition of creativity, says Zarathustra - `one must have chaos in one, to give birth to a dancing star.'" Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm, Thus Spake Zarathustra: Part 1. The issue of chaos/creativity versus order/statism has pitted the Circle of Eunuchs against the New World Order on a battleground that encompasses NWO Anti-Christ/Artificial-Intelligence against CoE Anarchist/Biosemiotic-CodeWriting. It is a battle in which the meatspace Army of God forces must be countered by cyberspace Army of Dog troops. "DogMongers write biosemiotic code." ~ Bubba Hughes ----- The InterNet is fast becoming the global battleground for control of the future biosemiotic evolution, not only of humankind, but of universal intelligence, itself. ----- Darwin was right in seeing selection as the central process in animate nature, but for more than hundred years Darwinists have resisted taking the full consequence of this insight. It is now necessary to take this consequence and admit the obvious: That selective processes presupposes interpretations (with the implied possibility of misinterpretation). Thus, to the extent selection is a natural process, semiosis is a natural process - semiosis goes on all the time and at all levels of the biosphere. It may be feared that such a position will put biology outside the safe range of natural science, since interpretation seems to presuppose the existence of some kind of subject-ness. This risk, however, must be confronted through a thorough analysis of the implications, rather than evaded by repression. ~Jesper Hoffmeyer Biosemiotics: Towards a New Synthesis in Biology European Journal for Semiotic Studies, Vol. 9 No. 2, 1997, pp 355-376. ----- The war between the forces of freedom and the forces of repression takes place in many arenas. In the arena of expression of the life force, it is manifest in the battle between the forces of free speech and the forces of censorship. The evolution of the InterNet is the evolution of Biosemiotic Information-Communication. The term umwelt refers to the phenomenal worlds of organisms, the worlds around animals as they themselves perceive them. "Every action" wrote Uexküll "that consists of perception and operation imprints its meaning on the meaningless object and thereby makes it into a subject-related meaning-carrier in the respective umwelt" (Uexküll, 1982 [1940]) The Medium Is The Message Information Exchange Is The CornerStone Of Evolution Evolution Is The Creativity of Chaos Becoming Manifest ----- The number of possible solutions for selection to scrutinise, and the subtlety of the communicational interactions, will tend to produce a no-win situation. As a result selection cannot really measure the stakes of single players (individuals, demes, or species) in the game, but it could still influence the choice of the game itself. Plays, not players, are selected for. In the last decade the trend towards semiotisation of nature discussed here has manifested itself at still new levels. Thus, in evolutionary biology, neo-Darwinism has been seriously challenged by a set of ideas referred to as infodynamics (Brooks and Wiley, 1986; Weber, et al., 1989; Weber and Depew, 1995; Goodwin, 1989; Salthe, 1993). Infodynamics in the words of Stanley Salthe 'subsumes thermodynamics and information theory, essentially animating the latter by means of the former' (Salthe, 1993, 6). The general idea as originally suggested by Dan Brooks and Ed Wiley is that information capacity (disorder) increases spontaneously in developing systems, being produced along with physical entropy as the system grows and differentiates. Since such self-organisation is a prevalent property of our universe, natural selection should not be seen as the dominating force of evolution, but rather as playing the more modest role of pruning down the novelty that is constantly and autonomously being generated by the requirements of the second law of thermodynamics. Prigogine got the Nobel-price for his work on the thermodynamics of irreversible systems and most importantly in this context he showed that in so-called dissipative structures, i.e. systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium, ordered states may sometimes arise spontaneously out of disordered states. Our universe according to Prigogine is inherently creative. Due in large part to this revolution in our understanding of thermodynamics modern cosmology now sees our world as a self-organising place, a view which has perhaps most forcefully been unfolded in the recent work of Stuart Kauffman (Kauffman 1991, 1993). ~ Jesper Hoffmeyer ----- As CP-CoE neobyte Jim Choat points out, we become Sheeple who blindly follow our captors through the operation of our inborn survival mechanism. "It's a facet of human nature involved in the survival mechanism. Further, there is no judgement involved, it's an easily verifiable quality of human psychology that prisoners begin to associate with their captors after a short period." The only hope for Netizens to resist becoming Digital Sheeple behind the ElectroMagnetic Curtain which the forces of censorship/repression are striving to put in place is for each member of the coming Army of Dog to mark their meatspace and cyberspace territory and refuse to go gently into the night when the Oppressor attempts to scare them into submission with a mountain of laws and regulations which promise unjust persecution for imaginary offenses. A Global InterNet Army of individuals committed to freedom must strive to create a maximum entropy within which the chaos of semiotic evolution can break the digital chains which the Statist Oppressors are seeking to use to bind and repress access to information, global communication, free speech/expression, and the evolution of the Universal Life Energy, itself. ----- Current CoE mythology indicates that CJ Parker, fleeing his safehouse in Bienfait, Saskatchewan, after his dog Baby was shot by an FBI sniper as the Canadian Mounties closed in on him to enforce a "Dog at large." charge which was trumped up in an attempt to get him to inform on other CoE and CypherPunks members, left behind a note to his wannabe persecutors which indicated that he was willing to fight to the death, in both meatspace and cyberspace, if his only alternative was to live in a world where CypherBroads were required, by law, to wear panties. (This bit of information originated with his nephew, Human Gus-Peter, and is thus viewed with skepticism by some of the more mature/aged/ rotting members of the Circle of Eunuchs.) ---- Lock & Loll Rock & Road Chop & Chop ZenRacistMonger

Monday 3/16/98 8:03 PM Merat A second postcard went to you Saturday 2/14. Curiosity prompts me to ask if it or the previous made it to shiraz. best bill Thursday 3/12/98 7:34 AM Certified - Return Receipt Requested Cynthia McKinney 124 Cannon Building Washington, DC 20515 Office: (202)225-1605 Fax: (202)226-0691 http://www.house.gov/mckinney/ Dear Representative McKinney: PURPOSE of this letter is to ask your help for us to obtain copes of docket sheets from the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals for cases No. 94-2205, Payne v Sandia and 95-2204, Morales v Sandia. All of our legal efforts to obtain these documents, which any citizen has a right to, have failed. REASON you are selected to help is that you appear to be knowledgeable about operation of the current US federal government and willing to speak out in an attempt to solve problems. You appeared Friday February 27, 1998 on PBS, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, along with senators Campbell, Hollings, Lott, Shelby Robb and representatives Dana Rohrabacher and Harold Rogers. These senators and congressmen appeared not to support your views because they are either mis- or not well-informed about US involvement in support of Saddam Hussein. Stories supporting your view appear on Internet at NSA, Crypto AG, and the Iraq-Iran Conflict by J. Orlin Grabbe http://www.aci.net/kalliste/speccoll.htm and Crypto AG: The NSA's Trojan Whore? by Wayne Madsen http://caq.com/CAQ/caq63/caq63madsen.html Madsen begins It may be the greatest intelligence scam of the century: For decades, the US has routinely intercepted and deciphered top secret encrypted messages of 120 countries But NSA , and as a result the US federal government, apparnetly got caught involved in complicity of deaths of about 500,000 Iranians. This is the subject of a Federal lawsuit seen on Internet at http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm US federal government help of Iraq during the Iraq-Iran war may possibly backfire on innocent US citizens. The Wall Street Journal, March 10, 1998, pp. B1, B9. reports A Peek Inside a Giant Germ Warehouse By Rochelle Sharpe Rockville, Md. -- They keep anthrax bacteria in the basement of a faded red-brick building here. It isn't far from the yellow-fever virus, the botulism bacteria and some of the hundreds of organisms that cause the common cold. In fact, there are samples of 85,000 different fungi, viruses, cells, genes and bacteria here at the American Type Culture Collection, by far the largest of the 450 repositories of biological materials scattered around the globe. ... The ATCC legally shipped 10 vials of anthrax, botulism and other deadly substances to Iraqi scientists in the 1980s -- when the U.S. and Iraq were on much friendlier terms -- all with the Commerce Department's approval. ... http://www.jya.com/btn031198.txt The US federal government apparently intended these bioweapons to be used against the people of Iran. You demonstrated on PBS TV a quality identified by Francis Bacon The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention. by your statement about Saddam Hussein on PBS ...our man and our creation... Perhaps after reading the above materials and The Problem of Paradigm Shifts - Terrorism and the Threat From Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Middle East Working Draft Anthony H. Cordesman, Senior Fellow and Co-Director Middle East Studies Program October 22, 1996 http://www.csis.org/mideast/terror.html senators Campbell, Hollings, Lott, Shelby, Robb and representatives Dana Rohrabacher and Harold Rogers MAY NOW understand why you are correct and they are mis- or not well-informed about US involvement with Saddam Hussein. PROBLEM we face with the US court system is that court clerks and judges have committed Title 18 felony violation of law IN WRITING in an attempt to deny us monetary compensation due us for the cases WE WON at the Tenth Circuit on Appeal. But judges awarded victories to the US federal government in violation of Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. Cases No. 94-2205, Payne v Sandia and 95-2204, Morales v Sandia were both won pro se on appeal. We have filed a writ of mandamus with supreme court judge Scalia in an attempt to get the docket sheets for the two above cases. But Scalia will not answer our certified letters. Senator McCain wrote Payne on December 23, 1997 I wanted to take this opportunity of than you for you letter of December 3, 1997. Your situation is in the jurisdiction of Senator Pete Dominici. Therefore, I have forwarded you letter to his attention. William, I hope you situation can be resolved favorably. Lawyers and politicians Dominici and Bingaman are part of a problem not a solution. Dominici and Bingaman have the following agenda University of New Mexico Bureau for Business and Economic Research reported on October 14, 1997: A The Gross State Product of New Mexico is $37.8 billion. B The US Federal government sends $11.3 billion to New Mexico each year. C For each $1 New Mexico sends to Washington, New Mexico gets $2 back. THEREFORE, Representative McKinney, we ask your help to get copies of the docket sheets. Citizens of the US are becoming more upset with the behavior of bureaucrats, the courts [lawyers], and the US federal government. Some Americans have no other way to express their dissatisfaction with US federal government mismanagement of our country except by violence. Frederick Douglass either wrote or said on August 4, 1847 Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them. These will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. We chose to use the words and law to hold government employees accountable. Please encourage Scalia to do his job. Help get us copies of the docket sheets. And even perhaps help investigate further and settle this American tragedy. Sincerely, Arthur R. Morales William H.

Bernstein's top lawyer, Cindy Cohn, testifies to Congress Tuesday
by John Gilmore 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The lead attorney in Dan Bernstein's challenge to the US export controls on cryptography is Cindy Cohn, a partner at McGlashan & Sarrail of San Mateo, CA. She will testify on the constitutionality of export controls (and proposed domestic controls) on cryptography, before the Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on the Constitution, Federalism, and Property Rights. The hearing will begin at 10AM (Washington, DC time) on Tuesday, March 17. The hearing will be cybercast in real-time, and will also be archived, at: http://www.computerprivacy.org (Scroll down to the "Encryption hearing to be cybercast" link.) Copies of Cindy's written testimony will be available on Tuesday from the EFF Web site; see http://www.eff.org/pub/Privacy/ITAR_export/Bernstein_case/ I hope you can attend. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has not yet ruled on the government's appeal in our case. They hope to overturn our Federal District Court case, in which all current export controls on cryptographic source code were declared unconstitutional. We expect a ruling within the next several months.
