Political action and cypherpunks

Given the recent comments on cypherpunks, I thought I would point out a potentially useful resource: http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/4843/ It might give the more 'political action' minded some useful ideas. MW Hierarchical organizations of all sorts orient around a monopoly. That monopoly may be of force (as in 'gunpowder empires'), information (particularly in intelligence organizations), command (as in military or political structures), benefit (family or religious structures, where the hierarchical control comes from the ability to dispense food, wealth, etc.), interpretation (as in the Soviet State, which was the arbiter of the dialectic), etc. Monopoly reservation or control of some resource automatically equates to a dependency. What does this say about the battle to control cryptography? This is my PGP key; there are many like it, but this one is mine: -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.2 mQCNAzKfDM8AAAEEANn6IkHPSVLZS+z74L50to0yKIPyBD1620wvo28N9hZwVdaK w7NvAAbX37NPfmTAikqQyN38AB22h8+LQw6tKJQFMBFCz6slGPlRmgMOmELZQZ0w TO7NtPVpHqoe5nywd4msZr+VPFu0SuG7EWq57v/H8LG8PglvgLXwnqtr0xcZAAUT tCRNaWNoYWVsIFdpbHNvbiA8NTUxNDcwNkBtY2ltYWlsLmNvbT4= =wMsF -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
