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:

and company and changes in their tax status. These were and are the same people suing the CIA over the La-penca bombing in honduras of Journalists during the times of the contras in Nicgura. They while their agenda is a good bit more political than ours have been the only ones for years keeping the federal government at bay by lawsuit. They need technical assistance, hookins to peacenet and Econet and general help, considering the widespread nature of the problem we are fighting here maybe we should consider very actively promultagating PGP and DC style anoymous networks among the pease/political/human rights group. It would provide convenient crypto-noise of PGP messgaes and greatly increase the amount of money that the federal government has to spend investigating and force them to spread themselves even more thinly...:)

From the Cypherpunks I have met, either at the physical meetings or at

I agree completely. 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.) places like the Hackers Conference, I would say that about 50% are strongly libertarian/anarchist, about 20% are liberal/leftist, and the rest I don't know about. What's the point? That we should follow Kelly's advice and make some contacts with those in other movements. I suspect this may be happening anyway, as Phil ZImmermann has said he wrote PGP partly to help peace activists and the like. Just my opinion, of course. -Tim May -- Timothy C.
