Doctor Denning
by mpd＠netcom.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I just read the new and improved Dorothy Denning essay at http://www.cosc.georgetown.edu/crypto/Future.html and I must say that I am impressed to see that our august little group has managed to define most of the issues Dr. Denning addresses. She even uses the Gospel According to Tim as her first bibliography entry. One should realize, of course, that whether Crypto Anarchy prevails depends not upon the varied philosophical leanings of citizen-units May and Denning, but rather upon whether our mathematics is more powerful than their jackbooted thugs. Success also depends upon the implementation of widely distributed comunications systems which are not vulnerable to attacks launched against any particular set of nodes, and which obfuscate which processing elements are responsible for providing any specified instance of a service. Crypto Anarchy running on the World Wide Crypto-Mesh. Your guarantee of a government-free future, Denning and friends notwithstanding. -- Mike Duvos $ PGP 2.6 Public Key available $ mpd(a)netcom.com $ via Finger. $

Pauline Hanson's Newsletter
by Global Web Builders 17 Dec '03

Issue 1.7, February 1998 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE NOTE: No unsolicited email is sent. If you do not want to be on the mailing list please say "REMOVE" in the subject line and return this message in the body. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear supporters in NSW, You may not have seen the recent article in the Australian Financial Review (3rd Feb 1998). Here is a short summary. The subject is political donations: Over 90% of loans (or $4,650,000) to the Liberal Party have been made by one body - the Greenfields Foundation. This organisation has strong links with the Liberal Party's funding vehicle, the Free Enterprise Foundation which was caught out in the 1995 crackdown of the disclosure law. The post box of both is the same and the trustee of the Free Enterprise Foundation since 1981, Tony Bandle, responded to the Australian Electoral's Enquiries about disclosures by the Greenfields Foundation. The Greenfields Foundation has 'lent' the Liberal Party over 80% of its total donations to avoid disclosing just who the donors to Greenfields are. We know that most large donations received by both the Liberal and Australian Labor Party are from multinationals - the benefactors of the multilateral agreement on investment (MAI) (eg Village Roadshow over $200,000; ANZ Bank over $100,000). Benefactors of the MAI, like media giant News Limited, have gone out of their way to try to close down donations to One Nation by alleging large commissions and rewards for One Nation National Director David Ettridge. These claims are false and have one aim - to financially cripple Pauline Hanson's One Nation while multinationals quietly throw hundreds of thousands of dollars at the major parties to support their next federal campaign - one would be a fool to believe there is no contra. Meanwhile, the Liberal Party have refused to return over $50,000 to me after my win in the seat of Oxley. Most of the money would be used by me to benefit the Oxley electorate. See my on-line press release for full details: http://www.gwb.com.au/onenation/press/130298a.html Finally, on the subject of political donations it should come therefore as no surprise that both Kim Beazley and John Howard's foreign minister Alexander Downer have said that 'MAI is good for Australia'. Please visit: http://www.gwb.com.au/mai.html and be the judge. We desperately need your donations to ensure that One Nation can present a strong case at the next Federal Election. We are calling on 'people power' - that's you - to help us by making a donation, no matter how small it is important. If you believe, like I do that Australia has got to be turned around what cost can be too much for the sake of our children and their children? Please contact the Manly office on (02) 9976 0283 or complete and return the donation form at: http://www.gwb.com.au/onenation/funds.html For those of you who are members of Pauline Hanson's One Nation we are holding a celebration of the party's first anniversary over the Easter Weekend (April 10-12) on my rural property near Ipswich in South East Queensland. In true Australian style camping and bar-b-ques under the starlit sky will be the order of the day. There will be competitions, entertainment like bush dancing, karaoke and horse racing - and much, much more. If you are interested please contact (07) 3369 8214, 3848 2197, 3399 6662 or 3399 6901 for details. Costs range from $25 per day for adults or just $45 for the three. Families from $55 for the one day to $85 for the three. Book before you put this one in your diary (limited numbers)!

Even the Earth doesn't have that much time. The >economic "drag" involved would be too great. I think you have a very different view of rating than I do. For example, I would be comfortable rating all the Sesame Street shows for sex and violence without seeing any more than I have seen, just based on the reputation of the show's producers. Based on reviews in the newspaper (since the net has replaced TV for me), most of the current network shows can also be rated for all their episodes. Remember also, there is an "unrated" catagory. Some people will refuse to access unrated material. Others, (I suspect you and I) may seek it out. >Once we have high-speed connections to the nets, the amount of video out >there will explode. There will be more to watch than watchers (remember >video archives). Search engines will help people find what they want and >avoid what they don't want. "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll" (Wine, Women, >and Song) will be like any other available subject -- some will want to find >it and some will want to avoid it. Just another problem of how to extract >the content you want from all the mess. Search engines won't be all that >perfect but they will be all we have. One possible addition to search engines would be to give the people who have actually viewed the video/web page etc. an opportunity to rate it on any of several criteria including whether they thought it was worth their time. Other people could then use these ratings as they wanted (including ignoring them). The big problem I see would be making the system easy enough to use to get a reasonable response. Bill

Such parents would not let their children read unmoderated/unrated newsgroups.

I strongly doubt it, and I >will also add that such "enforcement" is far, far less effective on >newsgroups than on mailing lists. The people who want a "controlled cyberspace" will not be happy. I want explore the consiquences, both technical and social, of taking the control away from them by putting in the hands of individuals and minor children's parents. This approach would destroy their principle argument and make it less likely that they will succeed. However, unlike the motion picture precedent, I think multiple rating agencies will not only be desirable, but necessary. I assume that in addition to the Christian Coalition's rating service there would be a Hottest Pics of the Net service. Bill
