Possibly so. Phil Zimmermann, of course, still claims that it would take supercomputers several months to crack the code, but after I heard about that new computer that was built to run atmospheric simulations, I'm starting to wonder what actually defines a supercomputer. Compared to my old TRS-80 Color Computer with 16k of RAM, this Athlon 1200 MHz with 256 megs of RAM is a supercomputer. Over in Europe, Sun Microsystems built a computer with the RAM that equates to 11,000 CD-ROM's. Nearly 7 Terabytes of RAM, that is. This computer is going to be used to try to figure out exactly what happened in the process of evolution. As for this atmospheric meteorlogical simulator, I don't remember how much RAM it has -- I think they said 11 Terabytes, or they packed enough CPU's in it to make it run at a clock speed of 11 Terahertz. I watch TechTV all the time, so when I see the report again, I'll respond here and update the thread. Anyway, seems like with a computer that fast, it wouldn't take very long to crack a PGP key. And I think all these new versions of PGP probaby have a master key held by the government. I remember a few years back, the government was S concerned about people encrypting the e-mail they were probably reading left and right, so they came up with this plan to have all PGP users private keys held in escrow and with a court order, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies could use a warrant to obtain a copy of your private key and decrypt your e-mails. Needless to say, privacy advocates and PGP users were in an uproar. Now notice that recently they relaxed the laws against exporting encryption technologies outside the United States. Why? I imagine that not only do they now have all our private keys, not even held in escrow, but sitting on their hard drives so they can access our e-mail without probably cause, but they also have a computer fast enough to crack PGP encryption keys in a matter of minutes. Phil Zimmermann says that we can always increase the encryption strength of our keys, which is a lot easier and cheaper to do than building a more powerful computer to crack it. But even in 1994 we had 2048-bit keys, and maybe even earlier. Nowadays the most I've heard of is 4096-bit keys. In 1993 about the fastest consumer-grade PC you could buy was something like a Pentium 60 and maybe a Pentium 75. Now you can get a Pentium IV running at 1800 MHz. We should be using at LEAST 131,072-bit keys to keep the same relative strength of encryption that we had back then. But while computer speeds have increased nearly 20-fold, our PGP keys are only twice as strong. Yep... it's been cracked. Privacy is an illusion.

-Caveat Lector- Perhaps with all the concerns about wiretaps, e-mail snooping and the like, this might be a nice place to encourage the use of PGP encryption. It would be kind of like sticking our e-mails in a lockbox that only we can open. Only thing is... how do we know an "informant" is not among us. I dunno... Maybe it's not even worth trying. It's not like we're conspiring to overthrow the government or anything. We're just discussing things that the government would probably prefer that we not even know about. Thing is, though, if enough people use PGP, the government would spend so much time straining their computers to crack the codes of e-mails that it might make e-mail snooping something that's not worth doing anymore. Might cause a mess, though... Does the list get a PGP key? Do we all share our keys with each other? Plus we'd have to type in a passphrase for every e-mail. But is it any more inconvenient than opening an envelope? Damaeus http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

Apparently whatever we're doing is not working. Rights are still eroding all the time.

[CTRL] Canada Moves Toward Legalizing Pot
-Caveat Lector- Source: aol://4344:30.L100al01.5293796.675534523 Canada Moves Toward Legalizing Pot By TOM COHEN .c The Associated Press TORONTO (AP) - The Friendly Stranger used to be up a narrow stairway in a back room, a crowded little shop offering water pipes, T-shirts and other products of the cannabis - or marijuana - culture. Now proprietor Robin Ellins has a prominent storefront on busy Queen Street and plenty of room to display everything from hempseed oil and chips to a full line of hemp clothing and elaborate smoking accessories. The transformation from hidden emporium to thriving commercial venture is part of Canada's slow but clear shift toward decriminalizing marijuana. Justice Minister Anne McLellan says the issue should be studied, and a new Parliament committee on drug matters will look at decriminalization. Conservative Party leader Joe Clark is urging the elimination of criminal penalties for possessing a small amount of pot. ``It's unjust to see someone, because of one decision one night in their youth, carry the stigma - to be barred from studying medicine, law, architecture or other fields where a criminal record could present an obstacle,'' Clark said last week. The government has proposed expanding medicinal use of marijuana, and the Canadian Medical Association Journal recently supported full decriminalization. Canada's Supreme Court will consider a case this year that contends criminal charges for the personal use of marijuana violate constitutional rights. Making possession and use of small amounts of marijuana a civil offense - akin to a traffic fine- instead of a criminal violation would move Canadian policy closer to attitudes in The Netherlands and away from the United States, its neighbor and biggest trade partner. That worries U.S. anti-drug activists like Robert Maginnis of the Family Research Council. ``It will have a residual effect in this country of depressing prices and making marijuana more available,'' he said. He also knows a shift by Canada would boost the arguments of American advocates for easing U.S. drug laws. ``We find our allies are piling up on us and making it more difficult'' to fight drug use, Maginnis said. Joseph A. Califano Jr., president of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, is skeptical about that. Califano, a former U.S. secretary of health and human services, said increasing medical evidence on the harm caused by marijuana makes it unlikely that a change in Canadian law will affect U.S. policy. ``I don't think it means much,'' he said. Canada already has a legal industry for hemp - cannabis cultivated with very low amounts of the chemical that produces the high sought by marijuana smokers - while the U.S. federal government prohibits hemp production. In April, Canadian Health Minister Allan Rock proposed expanding the medicinal use of marijuana beyond cancer sufferers now allowed to take the drug to people with AIDS and other terminal illnesses, severe arthritis, multiple sclerosis, spinal injuries and epilepsy. By contrast, the U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld a federal ban on medical marijuana. Some U.S. states allow hemp production and medical use of marijuana, despite the federal bans, noted Bill Zimmerman, executive director of the Campaign for New Drug Policies in California. Arrest statistics show the disparity in the two nation's approaches. Richard Garlick of the Canadian Center on Substance Abuse said about 25,000 people were arrested in Canada for simple possession of marijuana in 1999. The U.S. figure for that year under the ``zero tolerance'' policy of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration was 24 times higher, exceeding 600,000, says the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws in Washington. The U.S. population is about eight times that of Canada's. ``Thank God, I'm in Canada,'' said Ellins, a long-haired entrepreneur who gives his age as thirtysomething. ``I just can't believe what's going on down there. ... That's a war against people.'' Believing decriminalization was inevitable in socially liberal Canada, he moved his store to a larger, more public setting last year. It's named for the ``friendly stranger'' cited in 1930s anti-marijuana propaganda as the supplier of ``reefer madness.'' Police leave him alone, because the store avoids anything considered drug paraphernalia, he said. ``Before it was too compact and tucked away,'' Ellins said. ``There's definitely been an increase in business.

-Caveat Lector- I just heard a news story about the "energy crisis". Here are the exact words of one question asked by Brit Hume of Fox News field reporter Jim Angle, concering how long it's taking to get geothermal plants approved in northern California: Brit: What is the reasoning behind those delays in approving the renewable plants? Jim Angle: Well, there aren't many environmental concerns because it's natural, geothermal energy. One of the problems at one of these sites was that snowmobilers were complaining that a geothermal energy plant might cause noise pollution. But one of the main reasons, and the reason cited by the Clinton Administration energy department in not approving it was that one tribe of Indians out of three (two gave their approval) had people who went out for what's called "vision quests" in this area. Hard to do with snowmobilers. Nevertheless, the Department of Energy under the Clinton Administration told the geothermal people that their project was not politically correct because these six Indians, these six Native Americans, went out on vision quests. Again, this is in an area where snowmobilers have two permanent camps. Herbs are often used in vision quests, are they not? Okay, so now we know that (a) those snowmobilers are hypocrites since snowmobiles are noisy themselves, and (b) our government laughs at the practices of the Indians.

[CTRL] U.S. loses seat on U.N. drug policy committee
-Caveat Lector- First, my editorial: Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Source: http://abcnews.go.com/wire/World/ap20010507_1563.html U. S. loses seat on U.N. drug policy committee The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS (AP) In another embarrassing blow, the United States lost its seat on an international drug monitoring body on the same day it was voted off the U.N. Human Rights Commission, U.S. officials confirmed Monday. The United States had campaigned for a third term for American representative Herbert Okun, who has served as vice president on the International Narcotics Control Board. But he was voted off Thursday in the same secret-ballot procedure and by the same countries that cost the United States its seat on the human rights commission. "That, we find, very regrettable," U.S. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said in Washington on Monday. He said the United States would continue its "strong support" for the U.N. anti-drug programs. The 13-member International Narcotics Control Board monitors compliance with U.N. drug conventions on substance abuse and illegal trafficking. Seven countries Iran, Brazil, India, Peru, France, Netherlands and Austria were elected to the board Thursday. China, Russia, Nigeria, Turkey, Mexico and Chile complete their current terms in 2005. Boucher would not speculate as to why Okun lost re-election but, coupled with the loss of the human rights seat, he said "there's something happening out there." "Clearly, I think it's fair to speculate there may be issues related to how we handled ourselves, to how we position," he said. Former U.S. drug policy director Barry McCaffrey said American's absence would be felt more by other countries than by the United States. "It's a great loss to the international community to not have us in a leadership position. We play a dominant role in the research and development of drug treatment programs in the world," said McCaffrey, who used to head the Office of National Drug Control Policy in Washington. "The assistance that we are able to provide the United Nations, the Europeans and former Soviet Union states could be adversely affected," McCaffrey told AP. The 54-member U.N. Economic and Social Council, the main U.N. body responsible for economic and social issues, cast secret ballots Thursday that led to the U.S. ouster from the narcotics board and the Human Rights Commission. The human rights vote spurred calls by some U.S. lawmakers to withhold $582 million in back dues for the United Nations and $67 million to rejoin UNESCO 17 years after the United States left over concerns about political polarization. "We've put time and energy and money and leadership into these international (drug) programs," McCaffrey said, adding that another strike at the United States could "add to the sentiment in Congress that would say, `Why should we support regional or multinational U.N. operations?' " The 70-year-old Okun served as deputy U.S. ambassador to the United Nations from 1985 to 1989 and has been on the narcotics board since 1992. In the corridors at the United Nations, diplomats and U.N. officials said after the human rights defeat that the United States didn't lobby hard enough. The absence of a U.S. ambassador to the United Nations for nearly four months has exacerbated the problem. Many nations including the United States' European allies are angry at the Bush administration's decision to pull out of an agreement to reduce global warming and to move ahead with a new missile defense system. President Bush has also refused to ratify the treaty creating an international criminal court and the U.S. Senate refused to ratify the nuclear test ban treaty. U. N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, asked about the U.S. ouster from the Human Rights Commission, said Monday that "member states, particularily those who have been very strongly supportive of the international criminal court, have been disappointed by the U.S. not coming on board." The drug control board deals with aspects of legal and illegal drug control, including monitoring government controls over chemicals used in the illicit manufacture of drugs. It also assists in preventing diversion of those chemicals into illicit traffic and identifies weaknesses in drug control systems. http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Adding Another Dimension for Every Big Bang that has Ever Happened
-Caveat Lector- Here's a theory I've tossed around. First of all, it's highly possible that creation is never complete and never will be. My theory accounts for God, evolution, the big bang and the big crunch, as well as the new age ascension beliefs. First of all, the physical universe started as a big bang. The most powerful force of gravity in the universe still exists at its center and that gravitational force is still a constant pull on the universe, even at its farthest reaches, no matter how weak it is. One day, the physical universe will begin shrinking again. I think that at the point where the universe reaches its maximum size and begins shriveling up again, things will start to change more quickly. When this will happen, or even whether it's already happened is anybody's guess. Astronomers are claiming that the universe is still expanding and is actually speeding up instead of slowing down, as they believed it would. But how can they really know that the universe is expanding at this very moment? They can't. The data they're receiving about the edge of the known universe have taken eons to get here. The universe may already be contracting and we simply can't observe this yet. The universe may have been contracting for hundreds of thousands of years. Still, it's current state is irrelevant for this discussion. There is no doubt that most people believe that there is more to reality than meets the eye. 95% of the people in the world believe in a superior entity or force of some kind or another. Some call it God, and others simply call it the universe, First Cause or universal force. I believe that there is a force that is playing a passive role in our evolution. I say passive in that I don't believe a higher force is guiding us or making decisions about the course of evolution in any way. I do believe that we slithered out of the swamps as a slimy "thing" who only knew how to consume and leave behind waste. I believe in chance mutations which cause evolution to go one way or the other. Conditions on Earth allowed for humans as we know them today. Our slithering out of the oceans does not disqualify the fact that we might have been seeded by an alien race, or that we might be descendants of microbes from an asteroid that hit the earth. When looking at the universe as a whole, these facts do not matter. Now we have progressed far enough to have a real imagination. People have had experiences in their lives that reach beyond what we see as solid reality. As schizophrenics, I believe many of us have tapped deeply into these higher realities, as have many non-schizophrenics on a lighter level. Already we know that how one thinks about life can affect their health psychosomatically. Someone can believe so strongly that they're being wounded by evil spirits that real wounds actually appear on their bodies. The point is that we know now that our thoughts play a powerful role in our lives and show that we are than meat and bones -- that our consciousness has some power over our lives. The crux of my theory is that these higher dimensions may be previous universes -- previous creations which started as big bangs and ended in big crunches, but before the conclusion of the big crunch, the consciousness of people who lived in the previous universal cycle all ascended lest they be destroyed, which was probably impossible. This also takes into account the idea of Hell Fire, and the idea that Hell and Death are swallowed up in victory as we see the Kingdom of God realized. What better way to swallow up death and Hell than with a big crunch, and how hot would it be to a soul in a big crunch, where all the universe is compacted into a space the size of a pinhead (or a quarter, as some scientists have suggested). Once there is another big bang, the previous universe will have ceased to exist in the way we see it today. That universe will then be the fourth dimension and what is now the fourth dimension will be the fifth. If it is possible for the fourth dimension to communicate with the third dimensional world, then naturally, the fourth dimension is aware that they are nearing the time when they will ascend to the fifth dimension. Perhaps the reason much of this knowledge is coming out is because they are helping us ascend so they may ascend. Of course, their ascension from 4D to 5D is guaranteed, as is our ascension from 3D to 4D. Whether we work feverishly or relax and let it happen, the results will be the same -- the irresistible desire to know more will eventually take hold and we will be open to the experience. But it seems like there should be some turning point, like perhaps the point where the universe turns around and starts contracting again. It seems like that would be the point at which things really start to get interesting. The ancient Mayans believed that time here was finite and that after a certain date, there would be no more need for a calendar, since tha

Blumenauer SUPPORTS "WAR" ON YOU! -- American Antiprohibition League <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> posted: AMERICAN ANTIPROHIBITION LEAGUE Furiously flushing fascists since 1992 Portland, Oregon Monday, April 23, 2001 Rep. Blumenauer: SUPPORTS "WAR" ON YOU! along with gov't abuse and waste THE WAR ON YOU SCOREBOARD (as of: 4/20/2001, Oregon) Supports Drug War? US Rep. David Wu YES US Rep. Earl BlumenauerYES US Sen. Gordon Smith ? US Sen. Ron Wyden ? Now among the drug war fascists, such as David Wu, add US Representative Earl Blumenauer of the 3rd Congressional District of Oregon. Like Wu, a friendly fascist who is proud of his determination to protect you from yourself. Even if it means killing you or stealing your rights, your freedom and your property. He's happy to keep drugs on playgrounds so your kids can easily get them. And of course he continues throwing billions of your tax dollars at a thus far unanalyzed, unjustified prohibition. That's the bottom line on Earl Blumenauer folks. Yet another crafty politician but certainly no leader, no friend of the poor or minorities. He obviously does not want our votes in Nov. 2002. But we all knew that right? Well you may have thought you knew, but if you recall it was the League's "Drug Peace Delegation," who 30 days ago was the first to ask Rep. Blumenauer the central question: DRUG WAR, OR DRUG PEACE? So it was really never official. Until now. Thanks to JT, Cloi, Crystal, Cory, Reta and little Codie, brave heroes for "Drug Peace!" So where were you? Perhaps you may not have been notified? Portland's press and media could not be bothered with reporting something so insignificant as law makers encouraging government's "war" on their own people. For weeks notices have been going out almost daily, to among others, The Oregonian, The Portland Tribune, Willamette Week, The Rocket, The Mercury, The Portland Observer, The Skanner, The Alliance, even the Oregon Peace Worker, radio and TV of course. Please make inquires and find out why the Drug Peace Vigils are being ignored. (Contact info. follows.) In the next 2 weeks the delegation shall conclude this first phase of the Drug Peace Vigil. On Friday we return to Senator Gordon Smith, followed by Sen. Ron Wyden the week after. The question to both remains: DRUG WAR, OR DRUG PEACE? Recently it has been suggested by one influential Oregon activist that she does not believe these vigils are "effective." Perhaps she is right and as I have stated repeatedly it all depends on YOU. Understand that for everyone who participates in these actions the Congressman and Senators know it means there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of their constituents who agree with us. Can you imagine the impact of 100 peaceful people descending upon Sen. Gordon Smith, silently yet clearly demanding Drug Peace? In the end even that may not change his mind, but it will certainly give him and his cohorts pause for thought come Nov. 2002. Remember WE can not create a movement without moving. It is much easier to dismiss 5 or 6 anti-drug war zealots such as myself. But if we can put 100 or more citizens on their doorstep, then these guys will know we are influencing thousands of voters. Please keep that in mind. Please do something to help end the drug war as often as you can until we achieve a real and lasting "Drug Peace!" Accept no substitutes, everything else are symptomatic by-products. *** NEXT PORTLAND DRUG PEACE VIGIL US Senator Gordon Smith (R) Friday, April 27, 11:30am, gather at: 121 SW SALMON ST SUITE 1250, downtown Portland (OR,97204) in the World Trade Center Bldg. #1 Ph1[503/326-3386] Ph2[202/224-3753] Fax[503/326-2900] E-mail to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.http://www.senate.gov/~gsmith/ term ends 01/01/2003, DCfax#:202-2283997 Staff (refused to meet with delegation last month) Cary C Evans, Title: Field Representative E-mail to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Kerry Tymchuk, Title: State Director E-mail to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Portland press and media Oregonian: Newsdesk 503/221-8100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Editors: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Portland Tribune: 503/282-4094, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Willamette Week: Editor Mark Zusman 503/243-2122,Fax503/243-1115, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Portland Rocket: 503/228-4702,Fax503/235-7625, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Portland Mercury: 503/294-0840,Fax503/294-0844, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Portland Observer: 503/288-0033,Fax503/288-0015, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Skanner: Fax503/284-8200, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Alliance: 503/239-4991, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oregon Peace Worker: 503/585-2767,Fax503/585-2767, [EMAIL PROTECTED] KATU-TV, Ch2: 503/231-42

The prohibitionists are over for the moment (about 42% Yes and 58% no) Please help our friends of cannabis in Iceland! :-) We really shouldn't think of ourselves as interfering in the politics of other countries. If they want globalization, let's give it to them. Besides, with more countries softening the laws or legalizing marijuana, more pressure will be put on the USA to change its ways.

How The US Government Created
The 'Drug Problem' In The USA
By Michael E. Kreca
http://www.lewrockwell.com/or ig/kreca1.html
4-20-1
"The bottom line on this whole business has not yet been written."
--Dr. Sidney Gottlieb CIA Technical Services Staff director for the
MK-ULTRA program
Eighteenth-century German philosopher Georg Friedrich Hegel long ago
developed, among other things, what he called the principle of "thesis,
antithesis, synthesis" to explain the process of deliberately enacted social
disorder and change as a road to power. To achieve a desired result, one
deliberately creates a situation ("thesis,") devises a "solution," to solve
the "problems" created by that situation ("antithesis,") with the final
result being the ultimate goal of more power and control ("synthesis.") It
is unsurprising Karl Marx and his disciples like Lenin and Trotsky, as well
as the US government in its so-called War On Drugs, made this process a
keystone of their drive for total control of all individual actions that, in
their views, were not, in Mussolini s terms, "inside the state" and thus
controllable by the same.
In September 1942, OSS director and Army Maj. Gen. William "Wild Bill"
Donovan began his search for an effective "truth serum" to be used on POWs
and captured spies. Beginning with a budget of $5,000 and the blessing of
President Franklin Roosevelt, he enlisted the aid of a few prominent
physicians and psychiatrists like George Estabrooks and Harry Murray as well
as former Prohibition agent and notorious Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN)
director Harry Anslinger.
The OSS/FBN team first tested a potent marijuana extract,
tetrahydrocannabinol acetate (THCA), a colorless, odorless substance, lacing
cigarettes or food items with it, and administering them to volunteer US
Army and OSS personnel, all who eventually acquired the nickname "Donovanís
Dreamers." Testing was also conducted under the guise of treatment for
shell shock.
Donovanís team found that THCA, which they termed "TD," for "truth drug,"
induced "a great loquacity and hilarity," and even, in cases where the
subject didnít feel physically threatened, some useable "reefer madness."
Peyote, morphine and scopolamine were judged too powerful to be used in
effective interrogation. In light of all this, Donovan concluded, "The drug
defies all but the most expert and search analysis, and for all practical
purposes can be considered beyond analysis." The OSS did not, however, end
the program. By that time, faced with the terrifying ship losses the USA
was suffering from German U-boats, Donovan pressed on, hoping to find some
effective chemical means to help interrogate captured U-boat sailors.
In May 1943, George Hunter White, an Army captain, OSS officer and former
FBN agent, gave standard cigarettes laced with THCA to an unwitting August
"Augie Dallas" Del Grazio, an influential New York City gangster. Del
Grazio, who had by then had done prison stretches for assault and murder,
had been one of the Mafiaís most notorious enforcers and narcotics
smugglers. He operated an opium alkaloid factory in Turkey and was a key
participant in the long-running Istanbul/Marsellies/NYC heroin pipeline
commonly known as the "French Connection." Influenced by the THC, Del
Grazio (who was also helping to smuggle spies and Mafiosi into
German-occupied Italy) revealed volumes of vital information about
underworld operations, including the names of several high ranking city and
state officials who took bribes from the Mob. Donovan was encouraged by the
results of Whiteís tests when he wrote, "Cigarette experiments indicated
that we had a mechanism offering promise in relaxing prisoners to be
interrogated."
Unsurprisingly, the extensive wartime German experiments with various
hallucinogenic drugs at the Dachau concentration camp, directed by one Dr.
Hubertus Strughold, later honored as "the father of aviation medicine,"
aroused great interest in the USA especially after an October 1945 Navy
technical mission to Dachau reported in detail on Strugholdís work. So
great, in fact, that when the OSS and its successor, the CIA, imported 800
German scientists of various specialties under the auspices of the infamous
"Project Paperclip" during 1945-55, it made sure to include Dr. Strughold.
Dr. Strugholdís barbaric "medical experiments," for which his subordinates
were tried and convicted as war criminals at Nuremburg, were nothing more
than a series of bizarre and unspeakably brutal tortures. Even so, he
learned a lot about human behavior and a natural alkaloid in the peyote
cactus called mescaline (a substance long central to many Native American
and Australian aborigine religious rituals.) What is little known to many
is that mescaline (first isolated in 1896) is but one naturall

Yes... Imminent -- like they need to finalize their nanoprobe production facility so they can stick a few of those in the vaccines. I'm no biologist or pharmacist, but aren't vaccines typically made from the very material that causes the disease in the first place? When you get a flu shot, for example, you're actually being injected with a mild dose of the flu in hopes that your immune system will trigger the proper T-cells and build up your immunity to the flu. Of course, sometimes people have horrible flus after having their flu shot, I presume because their immune systems are out of whack to begin with.

[CTRL] Solar Flares and Sunspots - Satellite Outages
-Caveat Lector- It seems that at least one satellite may have been damaged by recent solar activity on the sun. I subscribe to Echostar's Dish Network and we lost several channels on the satellite located at 119º. Each satellite has 32 transponders and Dish has licenses to operate 21 of those 32 transponders. The other 11 licenses belong to Dish's competitor, DirecTV. The status of their satellite is unknown. Dish has licenses for transponders 1 through 21. These transponders are no longer operating: 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 20, 21 Since the content is MPEG compressed, each transponder can carry approximately 8 to 12 channels, depending on how much motion is in the content. As a result, as of now these channels are offline, not including audio-only channels or international channels: Transponder 14 - 100 - DISH Network Answer Channel Transponder 12 - 101 - Inside DISH Network Transponder 03 - 103 - 3 Minute PPV Movie Guide Transponder 14 - 109 - Lifetime Movie Network Transponder 02 - 124 - Black Entertainment Television Transponder 02 - 129 - Bravo Transponder 06 - 131 - Independent Film Channel / Women's Entertainment Transponder 07 - 134 - 3 Minute PPV Movie Guide Transponder 21 - 135 - BBC America Transponder 13 - 139 - 3 Minute PPV Sports & Events Guide Transponder 06 - 143 - ESPN Classics Transponder 10 - 145 - ESPN Alternate Transponder 10 - 146 - ESPN2 Alternate Transponder 20 - 153 - Outdoor Channel Transponder 21 - 161 - Music Television 2 (MTV2) Transponder 06 - 169 - Noggin Transponder 13 - 170 - Nickelodeon East Transponder 20 - 172 - Disney East Transponder 06 - 174 - Toon Disney Transponder 08 - 181 - PAX-TV Transponder 06 - 189 - Discovery Health Transponder 02 - 191 - TechTV (ZDTV) Transponder 02 - 204 - Court TV Transponder 06 - 205 - Fox News Channel Transponder 02 - 206 - CNN Financial News Transponder 09 - 213 - NASA Select TV Transponder 12 - 214 - The Weather Channel Transponder 03 - 222 - Home Shopping Network Transponder 03 - 224 - Shop At Home Transponder 03 - 228 - ValueVision Transponder 11 - 229 - iShop Transponder 12 - 260 - Trinity Broadcast Network Transponder 02 - 272 - Galavision Transponder 02 - 300 - Home Box Office East Transponder 06 - 301 - Home Box Office Plus East Transponder 06 - 302 - Home Box Office Signature Transponder 06 - 318 - Showtime East Transponder 12 - 333 - FLIX Transponder 02 - 401 - The Golf Channel Transponder 11 - 447 - Fox Sports Alternate 2 Transponder 11 - 448 - Fox Sports Alternate 3 Transponder 02 - 455 - PPV Sports Event Transponder 18 - 458 - PPV Sports Transponder 12 - 503 - Pay Per View Transponder 18 - 9410 - Worldlink TV Transponder 14 - 9411 - UniversityHouse Luckily I still have another 200 channels to pick from. :-) Damaeus http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Television of Interest - Monday 4-16-2001 to Sunday 4-22-2001
-Caveat Lector- All times listed are Central Daylight Time. Programming is only available in America, unless you can get these channels where you live, basically meaning, check to see if you can get this programming before watching it. :-/ I don't know why I included that, but I felt like I should. Channels listed as airing on PBS-X are for Direct Broadcast Satellite, which airs 24 hours after it airs for cable and over-the-air viewers. So check to see if it airs a day ahead in your listings. Always check your local listings to verify the date and time. Finally, this list may be incomplete. I don't have every channel in existence in the electronic program guide I use to generate this list. Namely, I don't have any of the Discovery Digital channels (Discovery Wings, Discovery Civilization, Discovery Science, Discovery Home & Leisure). The only reason any of the Discovery Digital listings are included today is because I took the time to look for a few programs, but I know I missed many of them as I don't have time to manually scour the guides looking for every single program that will be airing. == Monday, April 16, 2001 == 12:00am - HBO WEST - A Question of Miracles Faith healers entice believers to seek relief from their ills at mass evangelical gatherings..

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: The U.N. Plan for Global Control

It seems to revere the right to belong to the religion of your choice without experiencing the persecution some like to throw around if you belong to "the wrong religion". It's a matter of rights. And anytime we discuss rights, someone always chimes in and says, "You have the right to do anything you want to do as long as it does not infringe on MY rights!" < continued below > > A new set of economic, environmental, and social guidelines are in. > Citizenship, democracy, and education have been redefined.

And politically correct > "tolerance"-meaning "the rejection of dogmatism and absolutism" as well > as "appreciation" for the world's religions and lifestyles-is "not only > a moral duty, it is also a political and legal requirement."1 ...Well, does using free speech to criticize members of another religion infringe on that person's right to practice that religion? Or does the right to free speech have precedence over the freedom to choose your religion? I don't see anything wrong with tolerating or appreciating all the world's religions and lifestyles. I think it's a good thing. Apparently some people can't handle having both freedom of religion and freedom of speech at the same time because it causes too much unrest. Perhap laws against condemning religions and the people who practice them would be something that promotes peace, falling back on the old adage, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Some might say that once free speech is limited, the arts would certainly suffer since film makers and authors could no longer openly attack things they might personally disagree with. However, other artists would come forward to glorify what was once condemned. I would welcome that with open arms. I enjoy films that show the beauty of different cultures and religions, rather than exploiting and judging their faults, as if ours are superior in some way. > Hard to believe?

We are referred to as "consumers". They expect us to consume, and when you consume, some finite resource gets used, whether it be electricity produced by coal and oil, gasoline, or whatever. When "consumers" stop spending their money, capitalists start wrenching their hands in panic and "the economy" is plastered all over the news with politicians and businessmen yelling at each other to do something about it. It IS suicidal! We have a society in America that thrives on the consumption of natural resources, and now the destruction of natural resources, since Bush decided that the economy is more important than the environment. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief when the Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounds and closes 400 points up because it means the gravy train hasn't come to an end yet. > "Fidel, Fidel..." shouted the audience.

[CTRL] Ever Read the New Juno Service Agreement? You MUST See This One...
-Caveat Lector- Well, I've seen it all now. I wonder how many service agreements say things like this, and how many Juno users are aware of it? And no, I'm not the one who put it all in one paragraph. That's Juno's responsibility. Notice how it's so much text, nobody would dare bother to read it. Source: http://help.juno.com/privacy/agreement.html January 18, 2001 [...] Section 2.5 2.5. You expressly permit and authorize Juno to (i) download to your computer one or more pieces of software (the "Computational Software") designed to perform computations, which may be unrelated to the operation of the Service, on behalf of Juno (or on behalf of such third parties as may be authorized by Juno, subject to the Privacy Statement), (ii) run the Computational Software on your computer to perform and store the results of such computations, and (iii) upload such results to Juno's central computers during a subsequent connection, whether initiated by you in the course of using the Service or by the Computational Software as further described below. In connection with downloading and running the Computational Software, Juno may require you to leave your computer turned on at all times, and may replace the "screen saver" software that runs on your computer while the computer is turned on but you are not using it. The screen saver software installed by Juno, which may display advertisements or other images chosen by Juno, is an integral part of the Computational Software and you agree not to take any action to disable or interfere with the operation of either the screen saver software or any other component of the Computational Software. You agree that, as between you and Juno, you shall be responsible for any costs or expenses resulting from the continuous operation of your computer, including without limitation any associated charges for electricity, and that you shall have sole responsibility for any maintenance or technical issues that might result from such continuous operation. You agree that, as between you and Juno, Juno shall have sole rights to the results of any computations performed by the Computational Software, including without limitation any revenues or intellectual property generated directly or indirectly as a result of such computations, without further compensation to you. If your usage of the Service is infrequent, Juno's ability to obtain the results of completed computations may be impaired. Consequently, you expressly permit and authorize Juno to initiate a telephone connection from your computer to Juno's central computers using a dial-in telephone number you have previously selected for accessing the Service; Juno agrees that it shall exercise such right only to the extent necessary, as determined in Juno's sole discretion, to upload the results of completed computations to Juno in a timely fashion; and you agree that, as between you and Juno, you shall be responsible for any costs and expenses (including without limitation any applicable telephone charges) resulting from the foregoing. Juno agrees that any software, data, or other materials downloaded to your computer in connection with the activities described in this Section 2.5 will comply with Juno's privacy policies, as reflected in the Privacy Statement. You agree that you will not attempt to reverse engineer any such software, data, or other materials or transfer or disclose any such software, data, or other materials, or the results of any such computations, to any third party. You acknowledge that your compliance with the requirements of this Section 2.5 may be considered by Juno to be an inseparable part of the Service, and that any interference with the operation of the Computational Software (including, but not limited to, any failure to leave your computer turned on at all times) may result in termination or limitation of your use of the Service.

If they're done by satellites (which I find more plausible than a couple of geysers with two-by-fours) then the purpose would be to gain ultimate control of the people. Create a hoax, let the suspense build, then say it's aliens doing it, and if we don't do as they say, the aliens have threatened to destroy us in probably more words than that. I imagine that most people in the world would be gullible enough to believe such a story.

Hey, some of these crop circles are simply too elaborate and detailed for a couple of old geyzers to go out stomping around the fields with two by fours and twine. I'm sorry, but I don't believe that all of these circles were done by old men. I've seen some crop circles that were poorly done and I beleived them to be hoaxes, but some of these cirlces are simple too beautiful and too symmetrical to have been done with boards and string. To do these kinds of circles, men would need aerial surveyors and weeks, if not months of work to complete some of these designs so perfectly, if they could do it at all. > BTW, has anyone else noticed that the cable network, "Travel Network" > (i.e., the channel that is usually dominated by vacation travel > destination type shows) has been almost EXCLUSIVELY *serious* treatments > of shows dealing with UFOs, ghost and haunting locales, and paranormal > shows having about ZERO to do with TERRESTRIAL travel for the last few > weeks!?!?!?

I have always been disappointed. I've always found that these programs never reveal as much as I've already surmised about the situation, or read elsewhere. These programs are geared toward people who don't participate in CTRL or other similar mailing lists. The top priority in most people's minds is the economy, education, health care and what they're having for supper each night. Unless a space ship drops out of the sky and lands in their back yard, they aren't going to be too concerned about it. The government and the media surely wonder why they should rock the boat during times when the economy is growing and people are making money. Of course, there are still many who have seen something in the sky, but they're still too afraid to come out with it for fear of being laughed at by their friends or colleagues. Luckily the internet is helping to bring these kinds of people together so they can realize that they're not so strange. Then again, we often reveal things online that we would never tell our next-door neighbor, much less our relatives. The unfortunate thing is that chances are I've probably spilled the beans to people I've talked to face-to-face--perhaps even some good friends, and I've almost certainly been read by a friend of one of my friends, and if we connected the dots, we'd surely find some consensus and bring these topics out of the internet and into face-to-face conversations.

Yes, as a male, I can personally testify that it does hurt and it not take much force behind the slap to send a male into agony. If I was a rapist and knew that a woman had the strength to rip my muscle fibers through the skin, I would in no way, shape, form or fashion, want her anywhere near my magic nodules. One thing I recommend, however, is after you kick him in the nuts, he'll probably lean forward and start bouncing around. That makes his face a perfect target. Drop your ladyhood and kick him in the face. Then when he flies back, kick him in the nuts a few times more just to drive the point home. Then send me your description so I'll know to remain at least eight feet away from you should we meet in a parking lot. > * When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and > bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on > them as possible.

I just did it to myself without much pressure and oddly it resembles a mild "kicked in the nuts" pain. Combine that with an intense feeling of diarrhea cramps crawling from your gnads to your guts and that would be what being kicked down below feels like. Well, I've never actually been kicked down there. I jumped to catch a football I thought was coming with a high pass, but it was a low pass. With my whole body flying through the air like a giant X, (and I might say that what normally would have been hanging in front was pointed up) the football caught me square in the crotch. I instantly morphed from an X to a @. I was in constant pain for a good two minutes, but it was another three minutes before I was willing to stand up.

Some have theorized that the globe isn't ultimately warming, but stabilizing; that the equatorial temperatures will cool and the pole temperatures will warm. This may result in less available land mass, but a higher percentage of land that we do have will be suitable for farming. Countries like Ethiopia will no longer be desert-ridden and farming will become much easier so that people will not starve to death. Such global changes are necessary, given the increasing population. Imagine that. Less desert at the equator and less ice at the poles means a greener planet overall. It also means that seasons would be less extreme. We may have a growing season that never ends.

I'm sure that with money and secured income in the form of patents as an incentive, some corporation will surely come up with a way to feed us all...for a price. I wonder what those toothpick-like supermodels will do. Dom DeLuise will be around for a long time after food supplies come up short. And if food runs short, I guess I should be happy that I put a little extra weight around the middle. :-D Damaeus http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

It's no wonder that the government has failed in its mission AND become more fascistic in the process. It tries to keep the peace. If two men (or two women for that matter, hehe) want to duke it out in the street, shouldn't they be allowed to? Maybe so. If the police catch it, however, they will try to put a stop to it. If guns are involved, innocent bystanders may be injured, and that ain't cool. Oops? Where did that come from? Must be this CD I'm listening too. Anyway, if the government was created to keep peace between the people, it only stands to reason that acceptions would be made to give the government more and more power to keep the peace as different situations arise that create grey areas that seem to fall outside the canvas of the Constitution. In short, we were doomed from the start. > What does CCOPS do? CCOPS has one broad purpose: to oppose the > formation of police states anywhere in the world.

Aren't we only delaying the inevitable by doing this? I think until America experiences a police state, perhaps they will be unable to imagine such a thing ever happening. How long will citizens themselves demand new laws to control the behavior of "other people", not realizing that at the very same moment, someone else is pushing for a law to control "their" behavior? I often doubt the ability of the people to have any perception beyond what they're fed on the tube every night. "The world is what it is, and the world is what's shown on the evening news and that has to stop, so make more laws to control these things." America is really not in that bad a shape, criminally speaking, yet the push for more laws seems as high as ever because the illusion of America being a war zone is so strong. The illusion is brought on by the digest format of the evening news -- a daily collection of the highlights of "newsworthy events" in America and the rest of the world. > Why was CCOPS formed?

I think it's a good mission, if they can get airtime. Remember that the mainstream media is controlled by six major companies and they're all in bed with organized crime; and yes, I consider the US Government to be a major player in organized crime. But the very outlet needed by CCOPS is the very one they're least likely to get. Their audience will most likely be their own cheerleading squad, such as the members of CTRL, Illusions and SearchNet News. Hopefully they will create affiliations with other factions which have similar missions to make their collective voice louder. > CCOPS changes the way people see the problem. Most Americans don't > know anything about the Bill of Rights. And the government uses this to their advantage. When I was in school, knowing the Bill of Rights and the Constitution was part of American History. But that was one thing that wasn't reviewed from one year to the next. I only remember learning once. I wonder how it's taught these days. Anybody in their teens or early 20's want to relay their experience? > Showing that government edict or program violates the Bill of Rights > doesn't seem to excite too many Americans. They probably don't realize what their rights afford them. They probably can't imagine what their lives would be like without those rights. And do you know what I see? I see a world mesmerized by watching television shows depicting people who live their lives with far more rights than any American has. Yes, it is makebelieve, but movie characters have far more courage than the average American because it's all scripted for sensationalism. > Most of the men and women who serve as peace officers and in the > armed forces understand their key role in our society, and they > respect the limits of their duties.
