Re: Jerk with a t-shirt
The rights of property owners, especially commercial property, are not as absolute as sometimes argued. Due to the public services provided by governmental authorities, tax perqs not the least, property owners are required to abide a diverse range of laws and regulations to provide assurance that people on the property are safe. These people include the property owner, family members, employees, customers and others who may not be capable of judging what is safe. Similarly, retail property owners are obliged to provide assurances to customers that they are safe as prescribed by zoning, building and health codes. To be sure there is a lucrative industry of professionals who advise property owners how to skirt these requirements -- public relations mongers, lobbyists, lawyers, zoning consultants, architects, engineers, planners, politicians, so-called public interest groups, bribers, liars, cheaters, the mob, whores, pimps, and so on. Most of these are lightly or unregulated, even those ostensibly licensed to protect the public interest are happy to front for those whose only interest is criminal profit. Keep this in mind: whenever someone argues for the right to do what they want on their property they are blowing shit in your face while picking your pocket and placing you and your beloved mongrels in danger through a smart-ass range of distancing, exculpatory mechanisms, not least several of the constitutional amendments which were set up for just that purpose by the original continental landscape thieves and which are forever being updated to keep the our-screw-you-laws-are-fair-laws racket running smoothly. Thanks to two centuries of warping law and culture to bias stolen property owners, no property owner takes full risk these days, but some will have you killed if you question that, that's what the justice and national security mob is paid handsomely to enforce. Department of Homeland Security looks to be the greatest ever privacy and property expropriation since the national security apparatus was set up after WW2, stolen from the public in the name of protecting it, given over to the homesec contractors, mediated by the homesec slicksters. "Homeland" is the false positive, as was "national defense." >I happen to agree with those who said that since he was on private property >the property owners had every right to boot him off.

Re: Unsubtle Wetwork
Perhaps a suicide but if so it was induced by Kelly's treatment, not only by the goofus members of parliament, but more likely by the Ministry of Defence threatening to punish him for violation of the draconian Official Secrets Act. The Brits for all their admirable humor about vulgarity -- the new GCHQ called a "gaping anus" -- can be vile sonsofbitches when it comes to demanding obedience to authority, with the OSA a prime weapon to assure proper behavior or else. Beyond that there can be truly devastating social outcast penalties, and the worst of all, blackest of humor, withholding royal honors. Too bad the British realm never had to experience the cleansing guillotine -- by the populace not by the authorities. Due to that lack, and the USA's similar lack of final justice, pea-brained officials can get away with official murder, destruction of lives, lying and cheating for personal gain while holding office, or best, after leaving office. Foster's "suicide" for the Clintons, like Kelly's, is a sign that the time is ever ripe to execute the Tim May Final Option in lieu of believing what appears in the media, is told to surviving families, is joked about in the private clubs of capitals around the globe. At least the Reds owned up to their ideological perfidy, unlike those who truly believe in superiority, that is those who best represent inferior humans. No wonder the sonsofbitches fear assassination politics, not just the Jim Bell laughable version, the hard-eyed kind that comes in the night without warning.
Web Privacy War
WSJ today reports on the war between web privacy firms and the feds: http://cryptome.org/web-priv-war.htm Lance Cottrell and other privacy protection firms are featured -- does Anonymizer really bring in up to a $1M a year? Lance says he doesn't keep logs thus cannot respond to subpoenas. Other privacy firms are said to cooperate with the feds. One brags that national security trumps making money. As if they natsec is not the biggest money maker of all time, though homesec is coming on strong. Privsec in the race, though deniability is mandatory. It notes the demise of Zero Knowledge just before the Patriot Act started the boom in people seeking protection from official spies. Darn. But then we don't know what ZK is doing black with the contacts it eagerly gathered in its meetings with the feds.

Re: Destroying government computers
Hatch issued a press release yesterday softening his remarks but not recanting. His statement at the hearing does indeed raise the national security threat of P2P in which mil and gov computers using P2P could be attacked by evildoers and grab nation-threatening information, or damage the machines. This threat of commingling mil, gov and public users relates to the recent CIA publication which says the Agency will not use public networks to gather information in fear that classified systems will be compromised. Thus, the Agency remains in the dark about vast amounts of information available to the public, which in turn likely distorts its intelligence reporting to national authorities. It would be wondrous if the Internet gradually turns the spooks inward to protect their out of date secrets, even more so, such that they self-destruct like other historical institutions which became so obsessed with their secrets they lost touch with their supporters, indeed came to see their increasingly skeptical supporters, outsiders, as the principal threats, and so instituted even more spying among their supporters, meanwhile neglecting genuine threats more distantly located. That would fit the DC model of reality, the faith in inside information no matter how foul just so long as only a few had access to it. Perfect setup for manipulating the dimbulbs. Belgium has a good idea to go after war criminals whereever they hide behind national borders, or as in Congress, legislative immunity coutured in national security.
US Encryption Export Clarified
The Bureau of Industry and Security today issued: Export Administration Regulations: Encryption Clarifications and Revisions SUMMARY: This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to clarify when encryption commodities and software may be given de minimis treatment, when short-range wireless devices incorporating encryption may be given mass market or retail treatment, and to provide guidance on when exporters are required to submit encryption review requests. It also expands the authorizations according to which travelers departing the United States may take encryption for their personal use, and clarifies that specially designed medical equipment and software are not controlled as encryption or ``information security'' items under the EAR. Finally this rule implements changes to the Wassenaar Arrangement List of dual-use items (agreed upon in the September 2002 meeting and finalized in December 2002) that eliminate from Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 5A002 certain types of ``Personalized smart cards'' and equipment specially designed and limited to controlling access to copyright protected data. - http://cryptome.org/bis061703.txt

DoJ's rep at the recent 2600 appeal hearing, Daniel Alter, said that DeCSS is comparable to a terrorist weapon that can knock out air control or other vital infrastructure.

As 2600 was distinguished from the New York Times though both linked to DeCSS. That intent to harm tips benign use of information into criminality. It is probable that such tipping will soon be applied retroactively to information liberators. Thanks heavens nobody here is likely to be found guilty of that.

Tim May wrote: >None of the non-cryptographic methods are very resistant to legal, >technical, sniffing, and black bag attacks. And only multiply-chained >encrypted-at-each-stage messages, a la remailers, are adequate for >high-value messages. Those who've read it know that Jim Bamford's "Body of Secrets" ends with a paragraph on NSA's being unable to cope with the spread of communications protection technology and has come to rely more and more on the Special Collection Service, a joint NSA-CIA black bag operation and other methods of gaining access to targeted material. This comes after decades of NSA disparaging the CIA's reliance on HUMINT in favor of COMINT, ELINT, and a host of technological intelligence gathering methods. Bamford says that NSA's prowess in these methods accounts for its humongous growth into the premier intel agency -- in budget and in personnel. Until the technology it invented, fostered and funded made its way into the private world and then to other countries intel (and allegedly criminal) organizations. >From computers to crypto to means to crack or get around those. What will come of Special Collection Service application inside the United States as the fervor for homeland defense burgeons and the redefinition of "foreign enemies" to include anyone in the US considered to be a threat, is worth pondering, in particular as SCS techniques are shared with domestic agencies to fight the drug war and for counterterrorism -- all domestic agencies now becoming rapidly militarized in policy, training, equipment and close working with DoD. Recall DEA planting the bug on Jim Bell for IRS -- the agency is the most militarized due to the DoD and intel agencies being ordered to fight the drug war in the US and overseas. Recall, too, the amazing 30 agents which raided Jim's home, according to trial testimony by Jeff Gordon, the were all shocked and frightened at the chem-warfare stuff allegedly found there, until the EPA calmed the tough guys. That's the reason Jim's home is listed in the EPA's most hazardous sites compendium for the year of the raid. Last week, as Declan noted there were a series of congressional hearings on homeland security legislation and increased funding for combating high-tech crime. We offer the lengthy testimony on several bills providing for homeland defense and combating terrorism: http://cryptome.org/homeland-terr.htm (286K) As I noted a few days ago, information is now listed with nuclear, biological and chemical threats to the nation, and requires similar intelligence about its danger to the homeland. This could lead to the the technologies Tim lists being defined as homeland information-terrorist threats as our very own Stasi secret police grows rapidly -- informers squealing on family members, vast lists of suspects, and so on. No wonder the CIA has held on to the East German lists of enemies of the state -- its own citizenry -- so fervently. US intel is looking for reasons to live and where best than pursuing you know who, ably assisted by the industry set up by ex-intel members. Those down-sized by the end of the Cold War got bills to pay. Finally, reading the NYT account of Kerry's team killing the Vietnamese is sobering. The article is much more disturbing than accounts of it have portrayed. Kerry's and other killers' spin over the years have induced an intolerance for reading the grim shit that the military does when it is out of control. And be sure to reflect on Bamford's account of the Joint Chiefs planning to fake a terrorist attack on the US to warrant a Cuban offensive. That shit could be in the works even now -- homeland defense is aiming to be a humongous growth industry. One easy way to get that underway is to fake a nationally disruptive infowar attack -- or is that already underway.
Undermining government power and authority
At a conference yesterday at Columbia on whether encryption will protect privacy -- among panelists Whit Diffie and Steve Levy -- panelist John Podesta, former Clinton chief of staff, argued that law will be needed to combat privacy-trasngressive technology, that encryption will not be up to the task. Two lawyers from the floor repeated the point. Podesta munged the issue of the needs of intelligence and law enforcement to invade privacy, munged it as if still obeying secret instructions from those cabals. Steve Levy reminded that Podesta before working for Clinton was on the other side of the crypto/privacy wars, aiding I believe Steve said, EFF. Podesta smiled at Steve's pinprick. A youngster from the floor observed that in recent years since the relaxation of crypto export controls not a damn thing had been done to actually increase the protection of the privacy of individuals, that on the contrary programs for governmental invasion of privacy had increased in the US and around the world. Podesta smiled at the wisdom of babes, techies just don't get reality politics, he appeared to gloat, with the non-techies smiling at his pretense survivalism. Podesta noted that the 125th anniversary of the gummed-envelope was approaching. That that technology is trusted for privacy because of custom and law backing the custom. He stated that any privacy technology is going to be workable only if backed by law enforcemcent, and, not least custom. He added that the fact that gummed envelopes can be easily opened by intelligence agencies and law enforcement did not bother people. Sub rosa, implied: people with nothing to hide. There were some murmurings of dissent to Podesta's real politic remarks but except for the young techies, not much. Indeed, as a newcomer to privacy and encryption conferences, and there are dozens of them now being sponsored, not much new is being said. One suspects that a numbing down is going on, to establish a custom of acceptance that privacy-invasion by government is as inevitable as death and taxes. Encryption in this view is just food for the gullible non-techies. The same is going on with technological means of digital content protection of all kinds, the techies are being dismissed as too idealistic in their promises of strong protection, that instead only global law and treaties will protect intellectual property cartels. As promised by the cartelish DMCA. So why would anybody support undermining government power and authority in the face of such confidence that no way Jose? Plot to undermine government go to jail, do research to undermine, get clubbed with DMCA. Just think about undermining, your brainwaves will be logged. Bamford reports that in the 1960s the USG was picking up Tempest emanations from Russian encryption machines in Cuba from a surveillance ship four miles away. And lots more techie stuff that would terrify a law solves all believer. But then that may be why Podesta was scared shitless by lawless technology -- having been briefed on what contemporary shit is going on to surveil him and everybody else, behind the calls for NSA going deaf and the FBI pretending to be shocked at its diminished abilities.

RE: Right to anon. speech online upheld in US district court
Aimee Farr spun: >Finally, the law has an impressive track record, in stark contrast to >'crypto-anarchy.' So law proponents ever adversarial, no matter the facts. Homework on the exegesis of cryptoanarchy would demonstrate otherwise: it is law (and its siamese twin, order) which appears whereever cryptoanarchy rises to prominence in a people -- L&O a perfect means to strenghening strangleholds. Opposition to organized control of law and order is timeless, spaceless. Time and space a conceit of L&O in the scientific realm. Opposition to government is timeless and spaceless, or was until the notion of imperial full employment was concocted, imperialism coming to America during WW2. And now more people work for government in the US than in any other nation today, and most others of the citizenry get a piece of the dole in one way or the other. That does not mean there is not considerable anti-government sentiment among the govs beneficiaries, perhaps the most vociferous of gov critics are those who know it from the inside. This interior dissent, too, is bred by imperialism, with it incessant interior struggle among it beneficiaries. It is no accident that cypherpunks was founded by and is fed by dissident beneficiaries of government largesse and protection from bad, bad people who give shit not for L&O in any disguise. National defense education, with it emphasis on training an elite citizenry, has produced thousands of Jim and Jane Bells still searching for what was promised the smart guys if they just abided the rules. Their promisers chuckling at the bright-eyed idiots who never knew what it was like to survive under oldtime cryptoanarchy -- when keeping secrets from the day's tax criminals was the highest accomplishment -- especially the rats in their midst whispering rules of right and wrong, what history proved and didn't, who was first and who is clueless.

Most, if not all, MAD scientists work for governments which love to underwrite their demonic abilities and absence of scruples. Aiming these natsec producers of WMD at external and internal enemies of the state is what political economy of state artfully conceals. Nobody mega-slaughters like states of political assassinations. Putting limits on the flow of information is an ancient WMD, resurrected by the USA in fear of allowing citizens to know too much, following the precedent of earlier overreachers convinced of their superiority claim to keep secrets, and their claim of the right to kill to guard those secrets -- most of which conceal perks and privilieges of government officals and their contractors. As often noted here, private murder will never come close to matching organized state killing sanctified by church, family and the commonweal. Surveillance of the commonwealth is booming business. Pure evil is a state without opposition, though many aim at that omnipotent beatitude, law and order the drug of officials. The tails of such states and officials and contractors beg tickling, incessantly. Prime contractors, remember, are lawyers and other state-blessed professionals.

Not for Jeff's evil-intended eye, and his pea-brain which must have gone searching for a statute that perfectly fit a borderless prey, waiting for dark night to pounce via fairly dumb GPS gadget (or maybe a TS "illuminator" that needed no electronic emission, just a shaped object). If Mueller in Bend, OR, hadn't been invented by the CIA, Jeff would have had concoct Jim a cross-border target himself -- and maybe the Agency did him a favor.

I may testify for Jim Bell on Monday but that is not certain. Jim is scheduled to continue his testimony on Monday and promises "bombshell" disclosures. The trial has been disturbingly prejudicial toward Jim, from judge to prosecutor to federal agents' investigative methodologies and testimony, to treatment of Jim in the courtroom. A nasty display of official vengeance, of which Judge Tanner's closing of the public record is only a part. Regards, John

(Cyberpass is down.) Jim testified for himself Friday afternoon, presenting as good a narrative as Jeff's. He's due to continue on Monday. Both Jim and Jeff made little use of exhibits, and an observer might think their testimony was scripted by a single writer: both had been well-rehearsed in acting style and voice direction to perform a single story with two Rashomons of the same events, both equally compelling or unbelievable depending on what a viewer wanted to see. The main difference is that Jeff has the backing of a bloated, self-serving justice system: the courthouse, the judge, the agents of several TLAs, guards, marshals, SEATAC, and much more maw needing cases -- Tacoma court is a wasteland of little used overspending. Jim has a roll of the dice with the jurors, all of whom are dressed and look more like Jim than the mani-uniformed and dark-suited officials and rats. Jim has no witnesses: Judge Jack denied all requests, compared to a couple of dozen for the government. Most of Jim's request for discovery have been denied, while the gov gets all it asks for. At the end of Friday Judge Jack denied Jim's request for access to his own discovery notes for use during his testimony. Jim has so far demonstrated that he is several grades of intelligence above that of his official tormentors. And far less prejudicial. So what if the show is scripted that way, that the hero is doomed to be condemned by the king's police, for crowd-pleasing anti-revolutionary politics. And it's blood-quickening incendiary. A local says the news media are staying away from the trial in fear of subpoena -- for the trial, for the grand jury cooking up iA victims.
