To All, For those of us who have chosen to stand up and be counted as leaders in our electronic democracy, it is important to remember the economic impact activities and experiments such as the ones cypherpunks conduct have on the social fabric of control that the government seeks to have pervasive throughout our society. Leaders in other communities such as the Black/Gay/Minorities/Women have been crushed, murdered/assasinated and have had their rights trampled on by the Federal Intelligence community. Buses such as COINTELPRO/MK ULTRA and other actions against american citizens have been legion thoughout the existance of the federal intelligence community Their budgets for intelligense, spying, murder are secret, so called black budgets and their activities among us have been largely hidden being covered up by what ever means necessary. The federal government has perverted virtuall every instrument,concept,iand theory that has been handed it all in this insane reasoning of "For reasons of National Security", Well I for one am DAMN sick of seeing the constitution flushed down the drain by those marching morons in their haste of expediency, I am damn sick of seeing my hard earned dollars go to support Wars of suppression in El Salvador and Brazil where torture and Murder is both taught by the intelligence community in this country and promulgated, Death squads and other instruments of suppressiooon are still commonplace south of the border and the DRUG war is now listed as the reason, GIVE ME A BREAK what about the CIA retrofit base in Mena, Arkansas. What about the contra/drug scandal. What About That damn rascal ex-president BUSH, and dont think that means Clintons are any cleaner. Well I for one am taking that stand I earlier suggested and making DAMN sure this gets into all the hands of the groups mentioned, as in my original publication of PGP 1.0 for Phil 2 years ago.... I am scared very scared, and when I get scared I dont cower I fight back by whatever legal means are left me... PGP and DC style protocols are effective LEGAL weapons that have an extreme economic impact on the gathering of illicit electronic intelligence by the federal intelligence community from the citizens of this country and others in the political movements WE as leaders in spreading this new technology to those groups can have a very REAL WORLD effect in stopping murder, torture and political supression. US readers have to be cautioned NOT to export Crypto technology from our borders telling others where to find it and how to set it up and use it is PERFECTLY LEGAL however. OK I will shut up now and let the flames roar!!!! :) A slightly agitiated CryptoAnarchist/Peace Activist/cypherpunk cheers kelly --------
