17 Dec '03

Financial Cryptography '99 February 22-25, 1999, Anguilla, BWI Preliminary Announcement FC99, the third international conference on financial data security and digital commerce, will be held in Anguilla, British West Indies. FC99 aims to bring together persons involved in both the financial and data security fields to foster cooperation and exchange of ideas. It is organized by the International Financial Cryptography Association (IFCA). The conference program features regular sessions for refereed papers, invited talks, panel discussions, and a rump session, covering all aspects of financial cryptography. Proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

GENERAL INFORMATION Visas Visas are not required for citizens of most American and European countries. If you are uncertain about whether you need a visa, contact the local British consulate for information. Getting to Anguilla >From North America, Anguilla is usually reached via San Juan (Puerto Rico). From Europe, the best connections are via St. Maarten/St. Martin (from Amsterdam or Paris), or Antigua (from London). St. Martin is very close to Anguilla and is connected by ferry as well as by plane. Local Transportation The simplest way to get around Anguilla is to rent a car. You will need to buy an Anguilla drivers license, but this is a formality. Taxis are also available. Another possibility is to hitch rides from local residents, who are eager to provide them and will often stop to offer rides unsolicited. Transportation will be provided at specific times between Mariners and the InterIsland hotel. Weather Expect temperatures in the 20's or 30's Celsius, 70's or 80's Fahrenheit. There is often a strong wind, with cloudbursts that quickly blow over. Dress code for the conference is shorts and T-shirt. Money The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (EC$), with an exchange rate of approximately EC$2.7/US$1, but many goods and services in Anguilla, particularly those aimed primarily at tourists (such as restaurants and hotels) are priced in US dollars.

Friday 8/21/98 10:09 AM Laszlo Baranyi http://www.qainfo.se/~lb/crypto_ag.htm Got your letter, postcard, and business card this morning! THANKS! Looks like you got. /\/\/\/\ Tuesday 7/7/98 6:57 PM Laszlo Baranyi You DID NOT mention the Swiss radio international radio broadcasts. http://www.qainfo.se/~lb/crypto_ag.htm Send me a snail mail address and I will send you a copy. Using postcard, of course pob 14838 abq, nm 87191 usa Gustavus J Simmons Cryptanalysis and Protocol Failures COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM, November 1994, vol 37, no 11, page 56 The 'spiking' story, in obscure language. Simmons and R J Hanson http://sina.tcamc.uh.edu/~haskell/rjh/rjhres.html were two of the most responsible people for me coming to Sandia from Washington State U. Here are two of my former Ph.D. students in computer science from wsu. http://www.mhpcc.edu/general/john.html http://www.friction-free-economy.com NSA employee PAUL BRIDGE in about 1987 told me that Simmons was a security risk and that I should not talk to Simmons. In about 1992 I figured out something was fishy and began to talk to Simmons again. Simmons told me that he asked NSA employees Morris and Proto 1 NSA is sorry it delegated responsibility for implementation of electronic locks in the us nuclear arsenal to Sandia. 2 NSA wants the business back. Simmons told me neither Morris or Proto would respond to his question. Let's ALL http://www.wpiran.org/ hope for settlement of this UNFORTUNATE MESS. bill /\/\/\ I stopped a Target department store and bought 7 Maxell URL 90 tapes. As I am writing this note to you, I am both listening to the master copy Hans Buehler sent me on January 5, 1995. I will make a copy of the envelope I received the tape in. You wrote Laszlo Baranyi 98-08-13 10:15 To: MIME:billp@mnol.com @ INTERNET cc: Subject: Re: going nowhere Best Mr. Bill Payne Yes, I am interresting of receiving the tape. I have toddy putted a printout of this email into an envelope with our company logo, and my bissnescard and sent it to your adress below. I must admit that I do not understand the purpose of want a postcard from me, but I guess that you have your reasons, and I have no problems to follow your instructions. So, the papermail is today sent to you. If you prefer, I could also sent you a PGP-signed request for the broadcast. Just let me know. It guess that it is the single missing reference that remains in order have the whole story of Crypto AG documented. My intentions with the tape is to 1) make it publicy awalible on Internet, as sound, transcript in Germany I will search for some fluid in German) and a translation to engish. 2) I will contact Swiss Radio, in order to get as much as possible verified about the tapes authentication. I would also streangthens the tapes authentication if I have your permission to mentioned that I received it from you. Is that OK? >Again, if you don't have > >broadcasts about the Buehler case that were on Swiss Radio > International on May 15, 1994 and July 18, 1994. > send me a postcard at pob 14838, abq, nm 87191, usa. > I will make a copy and send. With best regards Laszlo baranyi --- Let me respond I must admit that I do not understand the purpose of want a postcard from me, but I guess that you have your reasons, I have not been reading e-mail since about 1 April 1997 when Patty and I went to Zurich. PRIMARY REASON is that the US government is a MASTER at messing with minds. Here is a reference ... rise of acid fascism in America, including material on Charles Manson, Mel Lyman, Victor Baranco, and their followers by David Felton seen at http://www.amazon.com. "The Agency [CIA] is not an intelligence agency. It is a covert action agency whose role is to overthrow governments. Disinformation is a major part of its covert action role. The American people are the primary target of its lies." - Ralph McGehee, who worked for with the CIA for twenty-five years "Have we gone beyond the bounds of reasonable dishonesty/" A CIA memo page 55 Wierd History 101 by John Richard Stephens http://www.adamsmedia.com/ So the idea is that if I do not read what the Great Satan wrote, then the Great Satan cannot mess with my mind. Morales and I BOTH have some interesting stories of when the Great Satan WAS SUCCESSFUL messing with our minds. Each incident cost us MONEY. 1) make it publicy awalible on Internet, as sound, transcript in Germany I will search for some fluid in German) and a translation to engish. Suzy, who sent you the email in Hungarian, BY COINCIDENCE had a message on our recorder when I returned from Target with the blank tapes. I told Suzy about your letter and enclosures. Suzy is FLUENT IN GERMAN, she told me this morning. The German translation problem may be solved. I am making a copy of the Swiss Radio International broadcast tape for her at her request. 2) I will contact Swiss Radio, in order to get as much as possible verified about the tapes authentication. I would also streangthens the tapes authentication if I have your permission to mentioned that I received it from you. Is that OK? Absolutely. NOTHING IS SECURE ON INTERNET. And as a result it SURE WORKS well for some applications where visibility is CRITICAL. I attach a message that went out this morning. I read at http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ this morning PESHAWAR: Saudi dissident Osama Bin Laden for the first time on Thursday denied his involvement in the August 7 bombings at the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The 42-year-old Bin Laden contacted this correspondent on satellite phone at 9:00 pm on Thursday to convey his statement through another Islamic leader Dr Ayman Al-Zawahiri, head of Egyptian Islamic Jehad organisation which was held responsible for the murder of Egypt's president Anwar Sadaat. Following is Bin Laden's message: "Osama Bin Laden calls on the Ummah to continue Jehad against Jews and Americans to liberate their holy places. In the meantime, he denies any involvement in the Nairobi and Dar es Salaam bombings." ... The News International Pakistan, August 21, 1998 US president Bill Clinton claims that Osama Bin Laden WAS INVOLVED. We all have to decide WHO WE BELIEVE: Bill Clinton or Osama Bin Laden. Barely 45 minutes after Dr Al-Zawahiri's telephonic conversation with this correspondent, the Americans struck and reportedly hit both Khost, where he had held his press conference in May this year, and Jalalabad, where he first took refuge after arriving from Sudan in May 1996. NBC reported this morning that as many as 100 cruise missiles were fired yesterday. http://www.cdiss.org/devils.htm --- 10:47 AM first tape finished. I am making the second tape from the first so as not to wear-out the original Buehler sent me. --- FIRING those cruise missile is SIMPLY GREAT for BUSINESS. The military can now write MORE PURCHASE orders for NEW missiles. What you are posting at your site is related to TERRORISM. I accidentally stumbled into this mess at the time of the retaliatory attack on Libya for the bombing of the La Belle disco. NSA employee Tom White told me that NSA regarded former president Ronald Reagan as the USs greatest traitor. Naturally, I had to learn more about why. So perhaps you might think of tracing terrorist attacks starting with the La Belle at your site. My SPECULATION is that after what OUR LEADERS did yesterday you will HAVE LOT OF MATERIAL to post. "Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it." -- George Santyana, 1905 Thank you so much for the letter. And I hope you dont mind my attempted EXACT transcription of the major portion of your letter COMPLETE with English mistakes. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. But intelligent people read-through or correct mistakes. And move on to the NEXT MISTAKE. Several years ago I took a beginning course in Japanese. Azusa Takegami was the SWEET instructor. For part of the final exam students had to GIVE A SPEECH IN JAPANESE. Takegami and Hisako Yamada had the AUDACITY to videotape each student! Talk about embarrassment! Patty and I were in Zurich last April. I interviewed at IBM Zurich forschungslabortorium. Patty and I were IMPRESSED how well about EVERYONE is Switzerland spoke English. Most of the people at IBM are Germans. We asked how they learned to speak English so well. They responded that ALL Germans are REQUIRED TO TAKE 12 years of English in school! For probably the same reasons Iranians have NO TROUBLE reading this. America is adopting a new NATIONAL LANGUAGE. Yo hablo y entiendo la idoma nacional nueva de los estado unidos. Mas or menos. NEAT to meet you on the Infobahn. Ill get the package with the tape into the mail this afternoon.

As a result of Sandia's and the US Government's irresponsible and unintelligent actions from which I was forced to defend, I have almost no chance of future employment in my profession or elsewhere. Here is a list of my initial negotiable damage payments. ... 4 Privacy Act violations regarding irrelevant material about my past employment taken from my personnel security file were broadcast by some Sandians. Retired Sandia senior fellow Gustavus Simmons in publications gave the impression that he was somehow involved in my work on data authentication for the seismic portion of the US/USSR Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). Simmons was not involved in seismic data authentication work. Funds obtained by Sandia for my successful National Security Agency proposal on software voting were used for other purposes. My viewgraphs and papers on the CTBT data authenticator were plagiarized by defendants Wright and Sellars for their personal profit. 5 I feel that I was underpaid for my contributions to Sandia and DOE. A retroactive adjustment to my salary should be negotiated. I spoke to my former PhD student Lewis last week. http://www.friction-free-economy.com/ Lewis advised in addition to the above point to ask for a minimum of $1,000,000 punitive damages. /\/\/\/\ is TOO LOW.

Later bill Thursday 8/20/98 4:10 PM Aletha L. Brown Inspector General U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission POB 18858 Washington, D.C. 20036-8858 202-663-4375 800-849-4230 Dear Inspector General Brown: Purpose of this letter is to file Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act requests. JUL 15, 1998 I received the attached FOIA response letter from A Jacy Thurmond. Thurmond's JUL 15 letter and attachments were included in an envelope postmarked WASHINGTON JUL 23'98 DC. Included in the envelope were two attached pages labeled COMMENTS. Final paragraph of the COMMENTS two pages states You would have no claim under the Privacy Act for the disclosure of this charge file to the charging party. To maintain a suit for a violation of the Privacy Act's prohibition against disclosure, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b), a plaintiff must prove that the information disclosed is covered as a "record" contained within a "system of records," as defined in 5 U.S.C §§ (sic) 552a(a) (4) and (5). Davis v. Runyon, 142 F.3d 433 (6th Cir. 1998): Quinn v Stone, 978 F2.d 126, 1`31 (3d Cir. 1992). The Privacy Act defines a "system of records" as "a group of any records under control of any agency from which information is retrieved by the name of the individual or by some identifying . . . particular . . . assigned to the individual." 5 U.S.C § 552(a)(a)(5). Our charge files are indexed by the name of the charging party. They are not indexed, an no records are therefore retrievable, by the names of third parties mentioned in the charge file. Under these circumstances, third parties mentioned in the charge file cannot invoke the Privacy Act's prohibition on disclosure with n respect to that charge file because the file is not a record retrievable by the their party's name. See Crumpton v United States, 843 F. Supp. 751, 756 (D.D.C. 1994). Inspector General Brown, the final paragraph in COMMENTS appears to be a legal opinion written by some anonymous EEOC lawyer(s). COMMENTS appears to be an ATTEMPT to convince me that I have no recourse to remedy under the law for release of the false and defaming documents seen at http://www.jya.com/snlhit.htm. Contrary opinion appears on Intenet at http://www.bxa.doc.gov/FOIA/Foiaintro.htm http://204.245.136.2/public/APA/REFRNC/PRIVACY.HTM Two district courts have gone even further. In Connelly v. Comptroller of the Currency, 673 F. Supp. 1419, 1424 (S.D. Tex. 1987), rev'd on other grounds, 876 F.2d 1209 (5th Cir. 1989), the court construed the broad "any record" language contained in 5 U.S.C. § 552a(g)(1)(C) to permit a damages action arising from an allegedly inaccurate record that was not incorporated into a system of records. In a subsequent opinion, the court in Connelly went on to find a cause of action under subsections (e)(5)and (g)(1)(C) with regard to records not in a system. Here are the FACTS surrounding the ATTACHED 11 pages beginning with Sandia National Laboratories director Michael Robles writing EEOC Director Charles Burtner. A I never saw the documents until Sandia employee Richard Gallegos gave me a copy in 1997. B Sandia denied that the documents existed. C The documents contain factually incorrect information. I did NOTHING WRONG. I followed all Sandia procedures known to me and obtained all required Sandia approvals. D I was never given an opportunity to defend myself. http://jya.com/greene.htm E Neither Sandia nor EEOC had my permission in writing for release of the information. Ms Brown, under 5 USC 552, the Freedom of Information Act, and 5 USC 552a, the Privacy Act, I request access to copies 1 All records, including phone conversation notes and memoranda, relating the creation of the COMMENTS document. 2 Name of the person or persons or any documents containing name(s) of person or persons which reveal who authored the COMMENTS document. If all or any part of this request is denied, please cite the specific exemption(s) which you think justifies your refusal to release the information and inform me of your agency's administrative appeal procedures available to me under the law. I would appreciate your handling this request as quickly as possible, and I look forward to hearing from you within 20 working days, as the law stipulates Sincerely, William H. Payne 13015 Calle de Sandias Albuquerque, NM 87111

secret life of bill clinton
by Vladimir Z. Nuri 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

based on rumor this book is selling extremely well. why have you not seen it in the mainstream media? answer: because the mainstream media is secretly controlled. it is my opinion that we have the government we deserve based on our total apathy and irresponsibility when it comes to the political process, speaking as an american. as slimy and corrupt as Bill is, I think he is just the first layer of the rotteness and that there are many people in government who are far more sinister who use him as a pawn in even more diabolical schemes. I think we are witnessing a scale of corruption at such high levels and of such an extent as to have never before been seen in western civilization. the big question is whether the american public will wake up before the next election, or whether nothing will happen with "business as usual"... buy this book and help free yourself from the invisible prison we find ourselves in!! ------- Forwarded Message Date: Mon, 17 Nov 1997 14:05:21 -0600 From: jlbtexas <jlbtexas(a)swbell.net> To: Ignition Point <Ignition-Point(a)majordomo.pobox.com> Subject: IP: THE SECRET LIFE OF BILL CLINTON THE SECRET LIFE OF BILL CLINTON Book Review By Cathy Leahy Two hundred years ago Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville came to America to analyze a fledgling democracy and he left celebrating her by writing "Democracy in America." Four years ago, Englishman Ambrose Evans-Pritchard came with that same hope and instead has written America's eulogy in "The Secret Life of Bill Clinton". After reading this well written and well documented book, one might wish to rename it, "The Death of American Democracy At The Hands of Bill Clinton." And if one didn't know the book is about an American president, one would think it describes Hitler, Stalin or better yet, the (now executed for their crimes) Ceaucescus of Romania. In fact, Evans-Pritchard warns that under the corruption of Bill Clinton, "you can sniff the pungent odors of decay in the American body politic" that was in evidence in continental Europe in the 1920s. This is a chilling account of an emerging Clinton pattern of lawlessness with the witting and unwitting complicity of a complacent establishment that should know better. And although Evans-Pritchard doesn't say it, he paints a startling parallel for anyone who has studied history and the rise of Adolf Hitler. Like Hitler, Clinton used established rules to legally establish himself and quickly went about subverting those same rules. Like Hitler, once in office Clinton set about politicizing every government agency under his control, replacing established law enforcement with his own loyalists that would silence his critics. Like Hitler, he then took control of the press to further silence dissent, although Clinton has done it with seduction and lies. Then, unencumbered by law, he went about exterminating his inconvenient associates, two of whom were Vince Foster and Jerry Parks. That done, he must now create a reason for people to give up their liberty in favor of safety with the Oklahoma City bombing. Hitler used his henchman to provoke and help an already irate dissident, Marinus van der Lubbe, to burn the German Reichstag in 1933. Clinton used Oklahoma City to expand his power. If not stopped - and soon, what will he do next? Evans-Pritchard tells us of the Dixie Mafia and about Clinton's rampant corruption in Arkansas. He tells us that the Dixie Mafia is far more dangerous than the Cosa Nostra. Thirty murders in a ten year period is nothing to Clinton's Dixie Mafia with its one hundred and fifty. This book is a portrait, with documentation, of American despotism that we never thought could happen. Left to his own devices, Clinton will put the final nail in the coffin of American democracy. The author does offer some hope, though, but it will have to come from ordinary citizens who still believe in the rule of law. But if Clinton is tried and convicted for his crimes, will he be punished properly? Will he be locked away along with his accomplices never to be heard from again or will he simply be set out to pasture, free to live out his goal of a "one world order" with himself at the helm? It's a frightening account but it is a "must read" by we, the "ordinary citizens." And although America's government controlled schools will never allow it, this book should be required reading in every classroom - to save the country. [The Secret Life of Bill Clinton.

http://www.cryptography.org - thanks to Bay Area Cypherpunks!
by Michael Paul Johnson 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A while ago, the Bay Area Cypherpunks took up a collection to help secure the future of the North American Cryptography Archive. So far, I have used part of that money to register the cryptography.org domain name and part of it to partially cover some other expenses. Since the current main host site is being freely lent to us, that donation should stretch for several years. :-) I have just changed jobs, and am working very long hours, but I still manage to get a little time here and there to maintain the crypto site. If nothing else, it provides a place for people who are concerned about possible government persecution to publish their crypto software legally. (I know that some people may differ with my interpretation of the current rules, but what do you expect from FUD mud?) Anyway, THANK YOU for your help. I am honored by your very tangible expression of appreciation for keeping a crypto site open for years. The new site is functional, now, and has a new name (http://www.cryptography.org) I know that it could use some better indexing, etc., but some of that may come in my spare time. :-) To guard against various forms of disaster (natural or human), I am encouraging others to mirror the site. (I claim no "compilation copyright" - I just want this information to be freely available.) As the regulatory climate changes, I will be watching for windows of legal opportunity (as we almost had with the Bernstein case) to tear down the "front door" to the archive and invite mirroring outside of North America. Until then, of course, most (if not all) of the data in the archive is available outside of North America. U. S. and Canadian citizens are clearly not the only ones who understand and enjoy cryptography! Note: nothing in this message should be construed as an invitation to anyone to violate any valid applicable law. ;-) Thanks again, my friends.

* The Dutch Federation for Military Personnel union (which 20 years ago won the right for soldiers to wear their hair long) announced in April it would back a female recruit's desire to wear a tongue ring. The code of conduct, the union said, bans jewelry "on the head," not "in the head." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To read these News of the Weird newspaper columns from the past six months, go to http://www.nine.org/notw/notw.html (That site contains no graphics, no photos, no video clips, no audio.

[Porker's lame quoting style retained.] Porker, So use an ISP which doesn't have the horrible reputation that AOL and its users have earned. You continue the grand AOL tradition of spreading lameness throughout the Internet. Because AOL is now "32 bit" (oh brother) AOL users are suddenly not idiots. Right. I guess all the AOLholes who were posting requests for LSD manufacturing, hacking banks, and band stickers were using "16 bit AOL." The number of bits AOL's software uses has nothing to do with it. AOL gets ragged on because their (publishing to the Internet) userbase is composed mostly of total morons and because they go try to sign up every idiot they can find with a "50 hours free stupidity/spamming fest" disk. Their software is designed to allow a trained chimp to use the Internet, and - surprise, surprise - that's what we get most of the time. Of course not *all* AOL users are idiots, but enough are to make the stereotype valid. If AOLers want to stop being made fun of, then get AOL to stop catering to every moron they can find and saying "AOL is the Internet." Stop using this lame and annoying "<< >>" quoting style. (Before somebody jumps on that, there have been at least four or five Cypherpunks who have publically bitched about it here and other people have complained about it elsewhere.) Stop posting requests for music, band stickers, books, pipe bombs, hacking info, and other such junk to mailing lists where it's inappropriate and to inappropriate USENET newsgroups. At least try to put some effort into formatting your posts so that they don't have line breaks in bizarre places, don't underuse or overuse punctuation, and try to use some proper capitalization. AOL brought this on themselves. At least they send me free coasters and mirrors every other week. If it wasn't for the very rare useful post from AOL, I'd have my system killfile mail from AOL going to the Cypherpunks list like I do for my normal inbox.
