   One of the Internet's most famous essayists is now in
   the same prison that once housed the most famous hacker.
   
   Jim Bell, the author of Assassination Politics, has been moved to the
   Lompoc (lahm-poke), California federal prison. It's the same place
   that convicted cracker Kevin Mitnick once called home.
   
   I'm assigned out in the rec yard, the recreation yard, but there's
   really not much work to be done, occasionally picking up a cigarette
   butt or two, says Bell, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison this
   year for allegedly stalking federal agents. Bell says he was trying to
   investigate government wrongdoing.
   
   Bell describes Lompoc, located between Los Angeles and San Francisco,
   as old and decrepit, and the place is corrupt and the guards are
   lazy.
   
   Previously, Bell was being held at the SeaTac prison near Tacoma,
   Washington, where his trial took place.
   
   Since he's got some time to kill, Bell has busied himself by filing
   civil lawsuits against people he alleges were involved in an
   orchestrated plot to deny him a fair trial and an unbiased,
   court-appointed defense counsel. So far he's targeted two judges, at
   least two prosecutors, and his former probation officers and defense
   attorneys.
   
   Bell says he hasn't had any response yet -- and is going to try to
   obtain a default judgment against the defendants. I continue to
   remain astonished that I haven't received any answer out of my lawsuit
   yet. It doesn't bother me as long as I collect the money. I think I've
   hit a nerve.
   
   He's looking forward to garnishment and putting liens on various
   people's property. If they wanted to write me a check, I'd take a
   check, I guess. But if they want me to go through the usual methods to
   collect it, I'll do that too.

Democrats Want Nuke Plant Guards to Be Federal Workers
Democrats Want Nuke Plant Guards to Be Federal Workers

By Chris BaltimoreWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic lawmakers in both houses
of the U.S. Congress unveiled legislation on Thursday to
bolster nuclear power plant security by requiring guards at the
nation's 103 plants to become federal employees with more
extensive screening and training.If enacted, the House and Senate bills would require the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to enact tough new security
measures such as extensive background checks for guards and the
preparation of plans to handle military-style attacks.Senate sponsors of the bill did not say how much it would
cost to convert guards at the 103 commercial plants into
federal employees. Congress recently voted to adopt a similar
approach with security inspectors at commercial U.S. airports.The NRC has previously said it is unsure whether U.S.
nuclear power plants could withstand the crash of a large
airliner, such as the ones hijacked for the Sept. 11 attacks.
Nuclear power reactors are typically enclosed in concrete walls
of up to 4.5 feet (1.35 meters) thick.Senate Democrats Harry Reid of Nevada, Joseph Lieberman of
Connecticut and Hillary Clinton of New York are sponsoring the
Senate version of the bill, as part of the anti-terrorism
effort following the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.In the House, the bill is championed by Massachusetts
Democrat Edward Markey, a long-time critic of current nuclear
plant safety.``Congress must act to protect the American people from a
potential nuclear disaster that could be more devastating than
Chernobyl,'' he said, noting that Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda
network has reportedly targeted nuclear plants for attack.Markey's bill also would require states to stockpile
potassium iodide within 200 miles of nuclear facilities. The
drug is ``the Cipro for nuclear disaster and can prevent
thousands of cases of thyroid cancer due to radioactive
exposure,'' he said.The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), the industry's main
lobbying arm, said that plants already have enough safeguards.The nuclear industry group called the legislation a
''political response to a problem that does not exist'' and noted
that plants are already guarded by ``paramilitary'' employees who
are armed and well-trained.Nuclear power watchdog groups have urged stricter security
such as soldiers and missiles stationed at each nuclear power
plant.

Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of
unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in
the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and

Right.  Now the seller has the cash, and the buyer has nothing.  The
seller has lost only the future value of the nym, which was presumably
accounted for in the price.  The seller loses no real reputation,
because the nym can't be tied back to the is-a-person seller.  The
buyer, meanwhile, is out the price of the nym, and must either 
destroy the nym in order to ensure that the seller actually loses all
that value, or accept damaged goods.

So, why would a buyer agree to such a transaction, where he will
remain at the mercy of the seller?

Or is this 'one born every minute' economics?

Today, Cocos Island can no longer be considered a marine reserve. It is 
now a fishing base. What had been considered a sanctuary for threatened 
marine species is now just an extended community for fishermen to exploit.

We are confronting a crisis.

So far, liquid propellant guns have been far more dangerous to

 So, why would a buyer agree to such a transaction, where he will

I look at nyms as a contingent claim on some asset, which should be
handled just as any other security. Certainly you can destroy the
value of a nym, just like you can any real property, but it might be
better not to do that. I agree with something that Wei Dai said a
long time ago that any nym would only be worth it's ability to
control some independantly-verified asset, though, which, frankly, is
as it should be when you think about it.


Just to sort of thrash things a bit, in a capital markets
transaction, an exchange isn't such a hard thing to do, in the sense
that a secondary bearer-form asset transaction (primary is like an
IPO, or, for cash, a collateral asset conversion like an ATM
transaction), cash for bond, say, would require the participation of
the underwriters in the exchange protocol.

viz, with apologies for my ascii art,
 Uc
/\|\
/ | \
   /  |  \
  /   |\
 /|\/
BbSb
/\| /
 \|/
  \   |   /
   \  |  /
\ |\/
  Ub

Uc = Underwriter of cash
Bb = Buyer of bond
Sb = Seller of bond
Ub = Underwriter of bond

At primary issuance, a trustee is involved, so, that probably
supervises the Underwriter, who ever it is owns the underwriting
engine. The above should hold for all kinds of unique, uncopyable
things, teleoperated surgery, or opinions, for instance.

I expect, for physical goods, some variant of this model holds,
because there's someone responsible for the physical supervision of a
given asset with a net-based audit/authentication of that supervision
of some kind, signed video, or whatever.

For software, in the Gary Becker sense of something that can be
copied, all we're really looking for is something which authenticates
that a given copy of an information good is in fact signed by the
person proported to be the author of that information/content/code.
Coupled with a decent third-party time-signature mechanism, you're
fine, because, after the first copy, such a good is a purely fungible
commodity ala Hughes' Institutional Piracy, or the Agoric guys'
digital silk road, or my recursive geodesic auction stuff. Such
situations are classic examples of so-called perfect competition,
as found in physical graded-commodity markets everywhere.

So, if we're looking at case 1, where there's a uniquely identified
digital good, like a financial instrument, we're covered enough for a
market to function because the underwriter supervises the
transaction, and the trustee/custodian supervises the underwriter.
Collusion gets harder with more conspirators, which we all know from
our first year accounting class. If you exhaust the prices of the
transaction by selling that data sans participants, but with a
sufficiently granular time stamp, that would probably complete
whatever control loops are needed to make the transaction safe.

If we're doing signed but fungible digital good, we're covered
because we're looking for something that other people have and you're
purchasing based on (probably multiple) published opinion, including
a digital signature of the good in question.

Finally, if you're doing a physical good with a digital title in
bearer form, you can, of course, look at the thing in the warehouse,
or in transit, or whatever.

There.

How's that sound?

RAH

If there is a universally agreed upon value for something, and someone

Nope.

What there may be are market-clearing prices, in various markets and at

 Any relationship based on desperation or one partner's dysfunctional clingy
 need is a complete waste of time. So if you seem to be spending a lot of time
 around women who want to mash you down into a mold of some cartoonish happy-
 ever-after ideal, perhaps it's time to look at why you keep choosing and
 ending up with them. If you were drawn to strong-willed independent women
 instead, I can assure you that you'd be facing an entirely different spectrum
 of dysfunctionality. ;) 

The cpunk relevance evades me, but ...

The 'relationship' is a product of some need, and classifying that need as
clingy or something else is arbitrary and subjective. You invent 'drawn' as
something that is not-clingy-need. Semantic nonsense.

To go a little further, that calculation, like depreciation, is
usually done at the behest of some taxing authority or another. (No,
not always, of course -- transferring an asset's ownership on the
books of one component of the same enterprise to another with its own
books, and then accounting for that on the books of the whole
enterprise, called transfer pricing, is one of the core problems of
finance, a problem which led to much of what we call modern finance,
including a Nobel or two...) Depreciation of an asset is usually a
marvellous way for government to control a business, since, of
course, the amortization/depreciation of capital against a revenue
stream is pretty much what the average large industrial concern is
about. Accounting for goodwill has caused the most bizarre
regulatory-driven book-keeping shenanigans than practically anything
else.

Irony is a wonderful thing, however. It may be that if we can figure
out how to do bearer ownership of assets, using various blinded, or
mostly blinded cryptographic transaction protocols, we'll collapse
the difference between calculated asset value, ala depreciation,
transfer-pricing, and goodwill, and the *real* value of something,
which is its price, discovered in a free market.

The more I've thought about this over the past few years, the more I
think that reputation as a *calculated* value, is probably a
wild-goose chase.

But you can't blame a bunch of crypto-engineers for trying, I
suppose.

RAH

If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they
should give serious consideration towards setting a better example:
Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of
unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in
the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and 
elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire
populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate...
This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States
as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers,
associates, or others.  Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of
those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the

Deadly Gas Pumped Into Senate Office Building to Kill Remaining Criminals

By Jefferson Henry, Router Rooters Writer 

WASHINGTON (Router Rooters) - Workers wearing protective suits and air tanks pumped poisonous gas into a Senate building in a cleanup Saturday intended to remove seventy-five Senators hiding in the building. 

The fumigation with chlorine dioxide gas was delayed for seven hours because of complications in reaching the high concentration level needed to most effectively kill the remaining criminals in the Hart Senate Office Building. 

Technicians for the Constitutional Protection Agency (news - web sites), which is in charge of the first politician decontamination in the United States using the gas, began pumping the gas into the building at 3 a.m. EST Saturday. 

John Rossrock, the CPA's on-site coordinator, said the fumigation might extend beyond the planned 12 hours in order to ``remove some lingering Congressional staffers and get an extra measure of confidence.'' 

The operation is expected to be complete by Tuesday, allowing Washington, D.C. to be declared a pest-free zone for the first time since 1911.

Not exactly.  You can pay a PR firm to try and help improve
your reputation, but that's not the same thing a reputation
pre-assembled and gift wrapped.  Most likely they'll just tell you
to wear more earth tones, which won't actually help.


George, Petro is *way* off here.  A PR firm/psyop division can only try to 
promote an opinion.  They cannot control others' estimations of 
their clients' reputations.  Consider a PR firm that fucks up.
A pile of little baby arms, to excerpt Coppola.

Yes, a good psyop operation can deny negative information,
promote the positive, and thereby influence the population.  
That is a matter of 
information flow  control; the reps (which are distributed
in the minds of subscribers) are not directly controlled.

I suggest recognizing the distinction between controlling
info and slant (psyops and Dan Rather and Turner and Murdoch, I 
don't actually follow that stuff) and controlling
reps which can't be done directly (but which can be measured).  

The fact that info  slant *can* influence distributed reps is why psyops
folks have jobs.

Finally the reps which can (or can't) be bought and sold (the
subject of an amazingly advanced thread, presently) is distinct from 
control of info and reps thereof.

Petro is unfortunately mixing 'selling-of-nym-reps' with 'PR's effect
of reps in a given population'.  With all due respect.

I got the invite as well.  It LOOKS like they might be adding a little of

Mugabe said it, based on reporting last night on CNN. (Not a word for

Bush might well have said it, as more and more classes of people are now 
classed as terrorists, the new pass phrase to the Constitution.
