Are there any Cypherpunks mailing list members who can confirm that there was a series of posts related to Princess Diana's death in the days before the event? I am particularly interested in information as to whether Cypherpunks were in any way responsible for a slight delay in the timing of her death. I am particularly interested in communicating with the person who sent me the anonymous messages between 8/24/97 and 8/30/97 using the nym "A'Tak A'Tdorn'.
If you have information and an interest in sharing it, please send a post to the Cypherpunks list or the fight-censorship list, indicating such. If you wish for me to contact you through a neutral, third party, indicate that as well.
Thank You
If you have a death-wish, then send this message again through the Canadian Mountie remailer. {:>)-----< {HELP! They knocked me down and cut off my arms!} I presume the message you are referring to on 24/8/97 is the one which answers your previous anonymous inquiry by saying, "Only for the moment we are saying nothing." It meant what it said. However, since the moment is over I suppose there is no harm in saying "something." I will therefore give you a modicum of information on the messages which have passed through the cypherpunks list since your original notification that something was in the wind. For starters, although I have not seen the original email which you received but I believe that if you read it closely you will see that it implied that the coming messages to the list would be in a form which was _analogous_ to the event, whereas you seemed to take it literally as a plan to "Nuke D.C." [How you managed to come to the conclusion that spooks and shadows would refer to a coming event directly totally escapes me!?!] If you will reinterpret the posts in question in light of the event, I believe you will see the thread that winds through them. As you were told, the AOL'er messages were used as markers to divine which of the coming messages contained stegonographic messages of one sort or another, or pointers to graphics containing the stegonography. I am assuming you understood this and sent the AOL'er message saying, "Please send more details...thanks" If you had not taken the phrase "Nuke D.C." so literally you would have noticed that the "Fade to Gray" post linked the coming major event (Nuke D.C.) to foreigners, automobiles and death. You were not alone in your request for details regarding the message in the Quote of the day: "I know the day it happens. On August 29, 1997 it's going to feel pretty fucking real to you too." which had been sent by one of the Canadians involved in ferreting out the details of the coming event. One of the cypherpunk list members posted the question, "When is X-Day supposed to be?" when there was no mention of 'X-Day' in the quote. This understandably led to postponement of the event while those involved checked to see if there had been a breach in their security. The subsequent message which stated, "I don't know what you mean by 'When is X-Day supposed to be?'" was interpreted by those involved to indicate that full details of their plans remained a mystery to those who were trying to expose and stop it. After they had put things in motion to proceed with their backup plan, however, two more messages came to the list which indicated that there was more known about their plan than they had suspected. In reply to the post expressing lack of knowledge about the timing of X-Day, a post from _lne.com_ (surprise, surprise) suggested that X-Day referred to people who are going to be "taken from the earth" (death) by "pleasure saucers" (limosene) and noting that the limosene would be operated by "Greys" (a reference to the <fade to grey> ending of the "Fade To Gray" post--indicating a spook/LEA connection). The post ended by suggesting the time of the event might be "April" (4 o'clock) and gave a pointer to a sight with a graphic stego which would provide a visual message. The second post that came well after it had been decided to proceed with the backup plan said, "The metallic custard scent ripped through the stegosaurus' nostrils." (metallic custard being a car bomb--note eye witness accounts by Michael Solomon {who just happened to be on the scene, naturally} speaking of a "loud explosion" that brought to mind "terrorists."} "Clearly the meonotreme (Monarchist/Anarchist/Extremist) journey it would begin as it had ended." (The Fairy Tale Princess who had embarked on an extremist political journey was about to return to becoming the {dead} Fairy Tale Princess, once again.) "The ponder-tree hung itself in the heavy air, it's sap becomming purple." (Diana had sealed her death {"hung itself"} when she opted to bond herself to Royal blood.) "And flowed enigmatically like a river of broken curves and powdered eggshells." (A reference to the immediate area of the planned event, which would be at the split {"broken"} of a tunnel road {"river"} and the airbags being sabotaged.) After this post appeared on the cypherpunks list, a Timmy C. Mayflower ASCII art spam showed up on the list from a juno remailer, but it had a Timothy C. May .sig following the artwork. (Followed by the proverbial GJBuller response.) Then both the juno remailer and the toad list experienced problems with multiple messages being sent to _some_ people and _not_ others, as well as _some_ people not getting certain messages at all. You will also note that, as the "Fade To Gray" post indicated (re: all the cypherpunks being "out of town" at the time of the event), there was no activity on the list in the time surrounding the event. As for the information in the graphic pointed to by the lne.com post, it was never considered to be anything but an attempt at intentional misdirection. You were told months ago that Diana's current power came from the failure of the so-called suicide attempt and that the agreement to leave her free to continue her public activities was contingent upon her remaing free from political matters. You were also informed that her involvement with the Labor Party land-mine issue was a breach of that agreement, as was her June 13th reference to the resistance of the Conservative party in this regard. When you were contacted last week, you should have been able to figure out for yourself what her link to the Harrods clan indicated. You were made aware of everything you needed to be sitting on top of the story. Given the fact that you have shown so little ability to act on the information you have already been given, we are probably wasting our time by giving you any further information. Regardless, if you wish to pursue the matter then I suggest that you research: a) the explosion b) the driver's airbag c) the liquid on the ground at the scene d) the source of changes in the day's schedule and/or the previous day's schedule e) the details of who was involved in the arrest {debriefing} of the photographers present If you _do_ manage to follow up on the information then we _might_ be inclined to give you the details of Prince Charle's upcoming wedding and coronation. : : B o o t s ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
