Kelly Goen expresses his outrage about the powerfreaks controlling the police/spy/military agencies and encourages us to help spread encryption and privacy technology to the groups figthing the government:

Even though I'm a libertarian (small "l") anarchocapitalist who happened to vote for Perot (who has his defects!), I support some (but not all) of the liberal agenda. Especially as regards getting the government out of our lives. (And where I part company with many on the left is in the areas of interference in free markets, anti-discrimination laws, and other statist invasions of freedom and privacy.)

As a further note I have been in communication with John Dinardo who has been spreading a LOT of information of this type around the net and who was responsible for my personal awareness of the PROMIS/INSLAW/BCCI/Cabazon affair , A reporter named Danny Casarlo lost hist life in the middle of this, The investigative journalist and whistleblower community has many among it who would come forward if onyl a anonymity guranteed by technology(not by a sysadms promise not to look) type of network such as David Chaums thoughts express... The information that could then come forth could make the effects of crypto spread to the common man MUCH more pronounced and help us put ALL of the cold warriors in therapy where they so obviously need to be... JUST for the record I am a randist... not a socialist AND it makes nodifference to me what a socialist says he/she/it no matter what political stripe or pursuasion or sexual orientation has an equal right of access to privacy and anonymity if our constitution is to survive the onslaught of the federal intelligence communitys move from the cold war to the drug war. cheers kelly
