Spy straws in the aussie breeze.2001.Look back in jaundiced anger.
Tomb it may concern,A couple of odd stories on TV last year.During the year it came out that Singapore was set to take over the main satellite for AU-US traffic,this set some hares running and Kerry Stokes,the owner of channel 7 here went on record as being vehemently opposed,threatening a huge stink at the up coming election and so on.Come election time he was MIA.The loss of aussie TV rights may have had something to do with this.His networks foundering,losing ratings to the others,pay TV and the web.Presumably the inscrutable and authoritarian singaporeze have open slather to read our e-mail and may prescribe the odd caning. The other odd story was one on SBS just before the election.Jana Wendt,who used to be a 60 minutes,(or 40 mins) reporter.SBS stands for special broadcasting service,btw,and is a niche,"ethnic,"broadcaster,much loved by many down under.Jana anchors a doco show called Dateline and this particular episode featured Ari ben-menashe.Need no intro to youse I'm sure. He was on about Perth,WA being used as part of the Iran-contra arms pump.1 million was reported paid by ollies boys to local yokel ALP pollies.(au labor party politicians) No real proof supplied so it sunk without a trace.It was so close to the election though,you have to wonder about CIA activity.Possibly the most blatant since 1975. Nowt else to report at the minute except probable overheating in the companies crypto shacks down here and Wackenhutt running amok with a veritable kangaroo gulag being built by their subsidiary CCA. All the best mattd,international arms trafficker,cypherpunk and crypto-anarchist.

Re: Crypto-Anarchist Activities Control Act ("CAACA")
>So "Cypherpunks" is a political movement, then? You are cohesive, and, as
>frequently pointed out, have a written doctrine. (i.e., "read the archives,

>which identify with you as a "movement."
Of course, and hereby I officially and under oath declare that I am the
Secretary General of the Cpunk Movement. I have been a member for a long time,
and I know many members personally. I also have a membership Card.
We meet on a regular bases, and the main objective of our meetings, as can be
witnessed by reading of the official agendas, is to make life of Men Who Control
Men With Guns (MWCMWG, aka "government") as miserable and as short as possible.
The main method that we deploy is designing and disseminating weapons (aka "crypto
tools") which make it impossible or hard for MWCMWG to figure out what is going
on among dissenters, sheeple and population in general. The rationale for this is
simple: a blind man is a lousy combatant, and also very funny.
Although many Movement members tend to portray themselves (for the obvious self-
preservation reasons) as patriotic {americans, subjects, french, germans, whatever}
and invoke a shield of paper documents such as law, constitution, MWCMWG official
propaganda and similar, that is just a front. Our ultimate goal is to remove the
primitive social engineering type ("politician") from the gene pool. Some of us
would like to use Pb for this goal, but, as with cockroaches, while crushing is
spectacular and offers instant gratification, the real solution is the slow poison.
We, the Movement, are the only credible threat to the state, because we have the
expertise to neutralise the very tools the state hopes will give it eternal power.
>AN ACT

You could be sarcastic, but I'm afraid that's just too much to hope for. I think that
you are plain stupid. You stated before that you are a lawyer - so you base your
referent system on MWCMWG rule book whose sole purpose is to keep the system
frozen. I do not doubt your sincerety, and you seem to use that as the argument.
I'm just saying that you have been firmwared beyond ability to comprehend reality.
And the reality will be the ultimate judge. Some history reading may help here. Maybe
you would be interested to find out what happens to those who fail to dis-align
themselves from the Empire on time. I trust that your self-preservation instincts can
overcome the programming.
[Armageddon-or-NewAge] Commercial database use flagged (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2002 23:30:36 +1300 From: Misty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Armageddon or New Age? <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Armageddon-or-NewAge] Commercial database use flagged Commercial database use flagged By William Matthews Jan. 16, 2002 http://www.fcw.com/fcw/articles/2002/0114/web-epic-01-16-02.asp Privacy advocates have filed a lawsuit in federal court to force the Justice and Treasury departments to disclose details about buying information about individuals from commercial databases. The agencies are generally banned from amassing such information on their own. Electronic Privacy Information Center officials said Jan. 15 that the two agencies have illegally failed to respond to Freedom of Information Act requests for details about their information purchasing practices. Lawyers for EPIC sought the information after seeing news reports and obtaining documents that indicate at least six federal law enforcement agencies buy personal information from database companies. The companies include ChoicePoint Inc., which gathers and sells information for purposes ranging from employment background checks to insurance fraud investigations, and Experian, which claims to have information gathered from "hundreds of public and proprietary sources" on 215 million consumers. The Privacy Act of 1974 banned federal agencies from collecting personal information about individuals unless they are actively investigating the individual. But no such prohibitions apply to database companies. The companies collect data from a wide range of commercial and government sources, such as credit card records, motor vehicle and property records, license records, marriage and divorce data, bankruptcy and other court databases, product warranty registrations, loan applications and other sources. Government agencies that buy the information include the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Internal Revenue Service, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, according to EPIC. A key concern for privacy advocates is how accurate the data is, said Chris Hoofnagle, EPIC's legislative counsel who filed the suit. ChoicePoint, for example, provided inaccurate data to Florida election officials, who denied thousands of voters access to the polls in 2000. Hoofnagle said EPIC obtained documents that show that information the IRS bought from ChoicePoint and Experian included "credit header data," which includes a person's name, current and prior addresses, Social Security number, date of birth, telephone number, information from property records, motor vehicle records, marriage licenses and divorce papers, and records of international asset location. IRS employees have access to this data through their desktop computers, Hoofnagle said. It is not clear whether the agencies buying information are violating the law, "but if they are buying information without real investigations going on, then there are going to be problems," he said. The Privacy Act was passed to stop information collection abuses that were common during the 1960s and 1970s, when the FBI and other agencies compiled detailed dossiers on Vietnam War protesters, civil rights activists, political "enemies" of the president, celebrities and others. Hoofnagle said recent cases show that the abuse of information by government employees has not ended. Recent abuses include police employees using information to track women for dates and to rob rental cars and federal employees selling DEA data, he said. "You don't have to have a rogue government, just a rogue civil servant," he said. The Justice Department has 30 days to respond to the suit.

Anthrax Missing From Army Lab
>>Anthrax Missing From Army Lab January 20, 2002 By JACK DOLAN And DAVE ALTIMARI, Courant Staff Writers Lab specimens of anthrax spores, Ebola virus and other pathogens disappeared from the Army's biological warfare research facility in the early 1990s, during a turbulent period of labor complaints and recriminations among rival scientists there, documents from an internal Army inquiry show. The 1992 inquiry also found evidence that someone was secretly entering a lab late at night to conduct unauthorized research, apparently involving anthrax. A numerical counter on a piece of lab equipment had been rolled back to hide work done by the mystery researcher, who left the misspelled label "antrax" in the machine's electronic memory, according to the documents obtained by The Courant.<< This could be a British agent on her majesties secret service,I suspect Adam Ant.APster all pommies!

AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS FOUNDATION FOR FREE EXPRESSION November 1, 2001 Dear Bookseller, Last week, President Bush signed into law an antiterrorism bill that gives the federal government expanded authority to search your business records, including the titles of the books purchased by your customers. This letter contains our best legal judgment on what you should do if you are served with a court order under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Under the new law, the director of the FBI may seek an order "for any tangible things (including books, records, papers, documents, and other items) for an investigation to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities." The request for such an order is made to a judge who sits in a special court that is sometimes called the "spy court." The judge makes his decision "ex parte," meaning there is no opportunity for you or your lawyer to object in court. You cannot object publically either. The new law includes a gag order that prevents you from disclosing "to any other person" the fact that you have received an order to produce documents. ABFFE is deeply concerned by the potential chilling effect of court orders issued to booksellers under this new law. Normally, when a bookseller receives a subpoena for customer information, he or she has the opportunity to ask the court to quash the order on First Amendment grounds. In several cases, booksellers have successfully resisted subpoenas. Under FISA, however, booksellers may not have this chance. Depending on the wording of the order, the bookseller may be required to immediately turn over the records that are being sought. Nevertheless, ABFFE's advice to booksellers who receive a court order under FISA remains the same as it is to those who receive a subpoena. The first thing you should do is call your attorney. Then, either you or your attorney should contact ABFFE so that we can put you in touch with lawyers who are familiar with the law surrounding the privacy of bookstore records. Although the wording of the law seems to suggest that contacting anyone about the court order is forbidden, it is ABFFE's belief that you remain entitled to legal counsel. Therefore, you may call your attorney and/or ABFFE. Because of the gag order, however, you should not tell ABFFE that you have received a court order under FISA. You can simply tell us that you need to contact ABFFE's legal counsel. Legal counsel is important even in cases where it is not possible to challenge a court order. It may be possible for you to have a lawyer present during a search of your store records. If so, the lawyer will be able to help you ensure that there is no violation of the privacy of your other customers. However, it is possible that the FBI will demand immediate access to your records. If the agents are unwilling to permit you to contact your attorney, you should cooperate with them. Otherwise, you may be arrested for disobeying a court order. If you have no choice but to turn over records, the best thing you can do is help the FBI find the information that it is looking for and thus avoid exposing the records of other customers. If you have legal questions after the search had been conducted, you can call your attorney or ABFFE will put you in touch with its lawyers. At times of national crisis, civil liberties are very vulnerable. Although the new antiterrorism law contains a number of provisions that were deeply disturbing to civil libertarians, it passed the House by a vote of 356-to-66. In the Senate, Russell D. Feingold of Wisconsin was the only dissenting vote. We believe the climate of opinion will eventually shift, allowing a reasoned debate of the dangers posed by these provisions. In the meantime, ABFFE will continue to work to remind public officials of the danger of sacrificing free speech in the quest for security. I want to take this opportunity to thank ABFFE members for their support and to urge anyone who isn't a member to consider joining now. Whether we can continue to act as the bookseller's voice in the vote against censorship depends on you. Yours very truly, Chris Finan President Link: http://www.abffe.org/fisa_letter.html

Seven Good Cops.
An angry crowd in northern Nigeria has killed seven policemen. Three civilians also died in the disturbances, which erupted on Friday afternoon in Danja, a market town in Katsina state. The incident has prompted particular concern because Nigeria's security forces have a reputation for reacting strongly when their own members are killed. The events began soon after midday, when a man pushing a cart knocked into a policeman, apparently by accident. Witnesses in the town say that even though the cart pusher apologized, the policeman struck him with such force that the man died instantly. On seeing this, people in the market then attacked the policeman, who managed to escape and return to his headquarters. Hundreds flee Police reinforcements arrived in the town soon after, by which time an angry crowd had gathered. In the ensuing confusion all that is clear is that the police attempted to disperse the crowd but were themselves overpowered, seven of them losing their lives, along with three townspeople. Matters did not end there. More police reinforcements soon arrived in the town and all that is known about this latest assault on Danja is that hundreds, perhaps thousands of people have fled the town. A BBC reporter who tried to enter the town said he was prevented from doing so by tear-gas and the surrounding confusion. These are unstable times in Nigeria; the security forces have a difficult task containing the all-too-frequent outbreaks of violence across the country. But sometimes, despite a return to civilian rule two and a half years ago, the police and the army still appear to act as if they are answerable to no one but themselves. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/africa/newsid_177/1770883.stm
