In addition to his battles with the cypherpunks list over anonymity, he has also argued with pretty much the entire net community that without a central authority it is meaningless to attempt to distinguish between good conduct and bad conduct, and has attempted to prove his thesis by actual demonstration. His accounts have been repeatedly yanked, he has found himself under endless savage attack by a large part of the entire internet, and has repeatedly gone completely insane, possible because of the emotional stress resulting from massive hostility, denigration, and contempt from huge numbers of people. Of late his attacks have become more cautious and less likely to provoke massive retaliation. He appears to have recovered his sanity temporarily. Perhaps another reminder or demonstration is in order. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | We have the right to defend ourselves | http://www.jim.com/jamesd/ and our property, because of the kind | of animals that we are.

It would probably be considered Politically Incorrect for me to mention that eye-shape might be a good indication, so I won't. Another indication might be whether your torturers are shouting, "Confess! You all an Ameliclan SPY!" or, "We kicked your ass in 'The Big One', pal." If you haven't figured it out by the time you've been put completely through the meatgrinder, you can still figure it out by noting whether your remains are being mixed with rice and put in cabbage leaves, or being coated with barbeque sauce and thrown on a grill. > At 05:46 97/08/04 +0200, Anonymous wrote: > > I hope Joichi Ito paid enough attention to the OKC bombing to realize > > that some surgeons are less skilled than others, and that there is a > > risk in remaining too long in close proximity with cancerous tissue. > > Some Japanese conservatives probably think *I* am the cancerous tissue that > their people shouldn't hang out with...

EC Report on Crypto
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

4 August 1997, ComputerWorld: Report/ Encryption policy hurts trade U.S. controls on the export of encryption technology and telecommunications equipment represent significant barriers to international trade, the European Commission said in a report last week. The development of digital communications has prompted the need for improved protection against the unauthorized use of personal data, trade secrets, banking information and databases. Without that protection, it is unlikely that electronic commerce will take off, said one European Commission official. The commission's 13th annual ``Report on United States Barriers to Trade and Investment'' said the U.S. is the dominant supplier of key computing components, and the country's limitations on the export of strong encryption products hurts the growth of electronic commerce. ---------- Anyone with a URL for this report? The EC site is uncrackably multi-lingual otiose.

8-25-95. NYPaper: "C.I.A. Still in Dark on Spy's Damage." Eighteen months after the arrest of Aldrich H. Ames, Moscow's mole inside the Central Intelligence Agency, the agency has still not sounded the depths of the damage he did. The process of looking backward to reconstruct the past and understand the present -- the business of "walking back the cat," in espionage argot -- has proved immensely frustrating. Often he did not know the true names or roles of the people he betrayed. The Soviet (and later the Russian) intelligence services forced some of the men Mr. Ames betrayed to become pawns in a game of deception, using them to feed false information on some of those operations to the C.I.A. in an effort to mislead and mystify the agency. The C.I.A. became a laughing stock for the way in which it investigated itself once it knew its Soviet agents had been betrayed. 8-25-95. W$Japer: "Russia's Threat Beneath the Surface." Most elements of Russias's military arsenal are shrinking in numbers and effectiveness. Yet Russia is still completing construction of submarines begun in the Soviet era, on about the same timetable as the Soviets produced them. Recently, it laid the keel for an even more advanced submarine and will enter the next century with the largest nuclear submarine fleet in the world. That new Russian subs are so quiet is attributable in part to the skill of Russian scientists and engineers, in part to Western technology illicitly acquired, and in part to help from two convicted American spies, John Walker and Jerry Whitworth, who for many years sold U.S. secrets to the Soviet Union.
