Re: Clue to So-Called Missing Jim Bell-AP Messages

Yes, the cpunk archives have a slew of 1995 (before and after too) about Jim Bell, Assassination Politics, Jim's email addresses, and related matters. Takes a bit of reading to find them, searches don't turn up all of them. 1995 is less bountiful than other years (say, 2019 spasms) but hardly insignificant and offer worthwhile reading on a variety of topics other than the low-volume AP stuff. Jim was in the pokey during this period so that reduced his postings. However Jim was sending out postal mails to compensate for the online lack. At 02:58 PM 1/7/2020, jim bell wrote:

Does it contain messages that the Venona files almost completely lack? 1995 messages that:

1. Lack 'jim bell' 2. Lack 'jimbell@pacifier.com' 3. Lack 'assassination politics' 4. Lack ' ap ' except in contexts other than 'assassination politics', such as Associated Press or 'killer ap ' 5. Lack references to 'bell', as in 'that damn bell', or 'that idiot bell'.

Makes sense to me.

I may well have what was called FCPUNKS from the mid 90s through maybe 2001 or 2002. However, sharing it would be too risky, unless I redacted or randomized all headers. Which would make it kinda useless, no?

Maybe I'll do it, as a public service, just before dying.

So hey, I'll dig through some old backups.
