McVeigh Sentence
by nobody＠huge.cajones.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I was watching Dateline NBC interview the McVeigh jurors about the trial and the interviewer asked them what they found to be the strongest or most convincing evidence against McVeigh. A grandmotherly type answered that the most convincing of the evidence against him was the pictures of the dead bodies. Perhaps the prosecution could have gotten McVeigh convicted on even more charges if he had shown some pictures of heroin. I also watched McVeigh's lawyer give a statement that sounded like it was prepared for him by the Whitehouse spin doctors. From the very first, right through to the end of the trial, I had the feeling that McVeigh's lawyer seemed to be more of a spokesperson than a lawyer. I've had lawyers show more skill and ferver in keeping my dog out of the pound than he showed defending McVeigh. I don't know what exactly he was being paid $15 million for, but it sure as hell wasn't for defending McVeigh. Even when he speaks about the judge not allowing him to put on a real defense he acts like it's just a minor matter of no real import. The only mystery in the trial was whether McVeigh was part of the great pretense taking place or if he really thought his lawyer was working in his best interests. I suspect that he's just naieve. I wouldn't place any large bets on MvVeigh living long enough to take part in an Oklahoma City trial if that ever happens. The political interests down there want more than just a showcase trial--they want to find out the real story. Unless they get bought off or blackmailed the Feds are going to have to bring Jack Ruby out of retirement. TruthMonger

Domain names and "The Network $olution", from The Netly News
by Declan McCullagh 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

*********** http://pathfinder.com/netly/opinion/0,1042,1155,00.html The Netly News Network (http://netlynews.com) July 10, 1997 The Network $olution by Declan McCullagh (declan(a)well.com) It could have been the perfect way to liberate the Net from the much-reviled monopoly of Network Solutions Inc., the company that handles almost all U.S. domain name registrations. Backed by well-regarded groups such as the Internet Society, the seven-page proposal promised to reduce prices, increase choices -- and best of all, really put the screws to everyone's least favorite domain name registrar. But a month before the curtain is set to lift on a host of new domains to supplement .com and .org, the ambitious plan suddenly seems as doomed as the recently extirpated Communications Decency Act. Not only did just one government, Albania, sign the "Memorandum of Understanding" (MoU), but the U.S. actively opposed it. So did Network Solutions, after they realized with gut-wrenching dismay the consequences of losing their lucrative monopoly on .com. Yesterday another group of MoU critics met in Washington to form the Open Internet Congress, which hopes to wrest control of Net governance from "hobbyists" and "volunteers" and haul it into the mainstream. "I don't want a bunch of volunteers playing around and trying to run the show. I don't want petty battles over who's in charge and who's keeping the lights on," says Andrew Sernovitz, the president of the Association for Interactive Media, which organized the summit. Sernovitz envisions a ruthlessly commercialized cyberspace that's safe for companies like IBM, Intel, NBC and Time Warner (Netly's corporate big brother) that cough up $9,000 a year to be governing members of AIM. The talk yesterday was of revolution. Sernovitz spoke about holding an Internet "Constitutional Convention" this fall. He passed out supportive columns quoting from "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine. I even heard folks call the MoU the move that will spark the online equivalent of the Boston Tea Party. (Led, presumably, by firms like Time Warner? Since that media giant also owns CNN, you can be sure the revolution will indeed be televised.) [...]

Actually - and you can forward this to relevant parties - woad, the infamous herb used by the Celtic warrior in the form of blue body paint, when mixed with urine (which is how they applied it to their bodies) causes a reaction very similar to cocaine and most amphetamines. The reduction in pain that is felt from wounds and the ecstacy brought on can easily be confused with a typical beserker reaction. The term beserk originates from "bare sark" - the beserkers wore little if no armor and the Celts are particularily famous for going into battle "in the altogether" except for the blue war-paint. The feeling of invulnerability that comes from the woad "high" led to this custom. Other semi-legal although dangerous "highs" can result from the ingestion of too much nutmeg or jasmine, both hallucenogens. -- Eileen Tronolone | eileent(a)pathfinder.com | Do not CD c System Administrator | redsonja(a)giti.com | taunt --------P===\==/ Commerce Team | gotagun(a)liii.com | happy fun /_\__ Time Inc.
