  serious erectile dysfunction issues. These painful problems include
  small penis size and poor self-image, as well as lack of potency and
  premature ejaculation.To help these men our dedicated team of researchers has developed
  an amazing formula called Pinacle. Quiksilver Natural Labs has carefully
  tested this unique new product so that it is fully doctor-approved.
  And, it is 100% guaranteed to work. It has been described as a true

  Effort and Expense of Having a Large, Manly Penis!Imagine for a moment how you will feel:You'll radiate confidence and success whenever you enter a locker
  room, and other men will look at you with real envy.But the best part is when you reveal yourself in all your glory to
  the woman in your life. When she sees how massive and manly, how truly

  corpa cavernosa. An erection happens when you become excited, and the
  natural flow of blood fills these erectile tissues. Pinacle has been
  scientifically developed to expand these erectile tissues and make
  them much larger. As it does this the erectile tissues can hold more
  blood than ever before.The result? A MUCH larger penis in thickness and length, and a
  rock solid erection.And all you have to do to experience these massive results is take Pinacle pills.

  'miracle'.If you are ready to experience this amazing miracle for yourself, [you
  can make it happen with Pinacle, GUARANTEED].Do YOU Want To Be Better Than 'Average'?According to medical records, the average penis length is 6 inches.
  This is not based on where you are from, your race or nationality.
  This is true all over the world.So if 6 inches is all you want to be or for some reason you want to
  be even smaller than this, please don't read any further.But IF you want to be a lot better than average - UP TO 3 FULL
  INCHES BETTER - we can help. Remember, Pinacle is completely safe and
  completely private. It can be your secret - no'one ever needs to know
  you are taking it. And for the HUGE results you will experience, Pinacle is incredibly inexpensive. You really can't afford NOT to
  take it if you care about your sex life today!"How LONG Will It Take To Get The
  Results I Need?"Here is a realistic timetable for what you will achieve:Week One Through Week FourDuring this period the most noticeable change will be the
expansion in width of your penis. You will also experience and enjoy

By David M. Anderson, Attorney at Law
Irresistable forces v.
Immovable Objects

In the next decade or so, we are going to see the dramatic increase in two 
apparently contradictory behaviors, networking and anonymity-seeking. These 
phenomona will be seen especially among educated and techno-literate 
citizens of Western industrialized democracies. They will occur because of 
their increasing need to be conneccted and their desire to retain a certain 
amount of privacy.
Networking will grow as a concentrated and highly efficient interaction. As 
the products accomplishing it become more and more user friendly they will 
invade our personal lives as easily as it has our businesses. Many of what 
are now face-to-face business, social and political interactions will go 
on-line. Increasingly sophisticated Netconferencing, chat rooms, and good 
old-fashioned (i.e. 20th Century) email will all contribute to this change.
This anonymity-seeking will be essentially the assertion of the Right to 
Privacy. Aright which may well ascend to the rank of importance now given 
the right of free speech because of the increasing current and future data 
warehousing, analysis, and manipulation. WWW cookies the recording of 
your computer and IP information on certain Web sites is a prime example of 
this.
The right to privacy is not found directly in the Constitution, but has 
been read into the Constitution by legal scholars. This right was 
developed in numerous Supreme Court decisions in the last century. The 
first major enunciation of the right was stated in an 1890 Harvard Law 
Review article by Louis Brandeis and Samuel Warren entitled, appropriately 
enough, The Right to Privacy.
The right has been derived from the 4th and 5th Amendment protections from 
unreasonable search and seizure, and due process considerations.
For a more modern view and a fairly scholarly legal analysis of the current 
status of the right to privacy, see The Right to Privacy, by Caroline 
Kennedy [ yes, THAT Caroline Kennedy], Knopf, 1995, wherein she writes:
Even if you do not own a personal computer and never intend to, you are 
part of the revolution.
From a privacy point of view, we are in the midst of the most unsettling 
period in this revolution. For many the technology itself is unfamiliar and 
frightening. Most important, the privacy problems are so different from 
those that have come before, there is no framework to deal with them. 
Technology is fast. The law … is slow.
There is now vast amounts of information about individuals available 
on-line. Information collected legally and illegally by people and 
companies trying to collect, warehouse, analyze and manipulate the data for 
commercial or political purposes. So much information that a strong, almost 
Luddite backlash is almost inevitable. People are unlikely to emulate Ted 
Kascinski en masse. However, we are most certainly going to see more 
unlisted phone numbers, personal P.O. Box numbers, and anonymous E-mail 
addresses.
E-Who ?
Just how easy is it to drop off the radar screen? When asked about the 
disclosure policy of Microsoft's free E-mail service, HOTMAIL, [ 
www.hotmail.com ] Randy Delucci had this to say regarding personal 
identifying information:
Here is Hotmail's disclosure policy: In order to honor our users' privacy, 
cooperate fully with law enforcement, and comply with the Electronic 
Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), Hotmail enforces the following 
information disclosure policy:
Hotmail will confirm to any interested party whether or not an account 
exists, and if so, if it has been closed for violating the Hotmail Terms of 
Service (HTS).
When served with a search warrant, subpoena, or equivalent document 
enforceable in Santa Clara County, CA, Hotmail will disclose certain 
registration ID information, and the IP login history. The ECPA governs 
when stored email messages will be released. For most requests, a criminal 
search warrant will be required to divulge the contents of communications.

In other words, other than if you are being pursued by law enforcement 
personnel or involved in some 

CIA Off shore banking business.Nugan_Hand to BCCI to CITIBANK.

2002-12-22 Thread Matthew X
MM: When does Citigroup enter the story?
Giordano: During the time that the case was proceeding, Citigroup bought 
Banamex for $12.5 billion.
Keep in mind that Narco News was not the first source in the United States 
to accuse Banamex of money laundering. That was done by the U.S. Department 
of Treasury and other U.S. agencies in what was called Operation 
Casablanca, in which a sting operation was held against various bankers 
from various Mexican banks. Two executives from Banamex were charged in 
criminal court and the Federal Reserve Board seized $3.8 million from 
Banamex as a corporation. The leader of that operation was then-Treasury 
Secretary Robert Rubin with the Clinton Administration. He was considered 
to be the hard-liner on this investigation. Secretary of State Madeleine 
Albright wrote a letter of protest to Rubin about not informing Mexican 
authorities of this operation. So this was all a big public issue before 
Narco News even touched it.
Later, of course, Robert Rubin left Treasury to work for Citigroup. Aside 
from Sandy Weill, who is the CEO, Rubin is the most important person at the 
world’s largest financial institution.
So Rubin was prosecuting Banamex for drug money laundering in 1998, but by 
2001 according to Citigroup’s own SEC filings, he was negotiating the deal 
to buy the same bank.
Why is that interesting? Banamex alleged in its lawsuit against us that its 
business was weakened by journalistic reports. If anything harmed Banamex’s 
business, it was the prosecutorial actions of the U.S. government and the 
investigation led by Robert Rubin. In 1998, he was prosecuting them, but by 
2001 he bought them for $12.5 billion.
There has been a lot of pressure on Citigroup ever since information about 
money laundering by the Salinas family came out. Lowell Bergman produced a 
comprehensive documentary about this for Frontline — “Money, Murder and 
Mexico.” He showed how Citigroup, through its private banking office and 
specifically through Amy Elliott, knowingly allowed Raul Salinas, the 
brother of the president, as well as the Hank family, one of the most 
powerful in Mexico, and others to use false names in banking and laundering 
millions of dollars through Citigroup.
Senator Carl Levin, D-Michigan, held hearings. John Reed, who was then the 
CEO, embarrassed himself in his testimony before Congress. Many people feel 
that’s what led to his downfall and replacement by Sandy Weill.
After Rubin came in, Citigroup was under enormous pressure from Congress, 
with new laws and regulations and more scrutiny from the Federal Reserve 
Bank. So what did they do? Buy Banamex.
All this is happening in the middle of our lawsuit, which showed that we 
never caused any financial damage to Banamex by telling the truth about its 
owner’s activities and how that intersected with the activities of the U.S. 
government and Mexican government. They were trying to destroy us — two 
journalists with no comparative resources.
MM: How was the case resolved?
Giordano: The very same week that the Citigroup purchase of Banamex was 
approved and finalized, we had a hearing in the New York State Supreme 
Court. Akin, Gump — one of the largest law firms in the U.S. — represented 
Banamex. It did not go well for them that day. The judge asked very pointed 
questions as to why they were bringing the case to the United States when 
they had lost it twice already in Mexico.
The judge delivered a decision on our motion to dismiss on December 5, 
2001. In it, she dismissed the charges against Menendez based on a lack of 
jurisdiction.
On the Narco News issues, the judge said the jurisdictional issues would 
require discovery. But she said she had read all the 500 pages of articles 
we published at the time of the lawsuit, and concluded that “Narco News’s 
web site and the writers who post information are entitled to all the First 
Amendment protections accorded a newspaper, magazine or journalist. 
Furthermore, the nature of the articles printed on the web site and Mr. 
Giordano’s statements at Columbia University constitute matters of public 
concern, because the information disseminated relates to the drug trade and 
its effect on people living in the hemisphere.”

Thus, for the first time in the history of U.S. courts, the New York 
Supreme Court extended the protections of Sullivan v. New York Times of 
1964 to all internet journalists, and threw the case out of court. So this 
offers a clear road map for other Internet journalists –– if you follow 
basic, fair journalistic standards, citing the evidence and sources of 
information, you can quote what the Latin American press says, just like 
the New York Times can, without fear of harassing lawsuits by wealthy 
interests that seek to silence you. It’s not a blanket protection for 
anyone to just say anything on the Internet. But it is a strong protection 
for anyone who exercises an authentic journalistic practice. This will have 
far-reaching

Re: How robust is SpeakFreely?

2002-12-22 Thread Eugen Leitl
As an user of SpeakFreely (7.2 on Windows, stillcan't get my USB headset 
to work properly with SF 7.3 on Linux) I've got the following three items 
on my wish list. (Hey, I wasn't naughty this year. Honest).

1) built-in PKI support, with fallback to clear. Right now it uses some 
   obscure PGP version, and probably doesn't even ask key servers. In
   practise it's much easer to agree on an IDEA of Blowish key -- but it's
   not an out of band communication, and if you don't switch to the same
   key synchronously one party is going to have her eardrums blasted with
   LOUD digital noise. I think it would be simplest to use SSL, with 
   PGP (7.2 doesn't support GPG apparently) support left in for those 
   parties who need it.

   I must stress that currently using crypto means:

   1) people asking you to do some complicated operations on your end,
  while you're unsure why (you just wanted to talk, why does this
  other party asks me this for? what are his motives?)
   2) using some rather technical lingo (have you ever tried explaining
  what cryptography is to a houswife from the Emirates? And why she
  possibly can get in trouble using it? (She doesn't, I looked up the
  crypto regulations for her country)).
   3) if you comply, you get blasted with LOUD SCARY NOISE

   As you can see, here's some heavy negative conditioning at work here, 
   making the average user associate crypto with pushy geeks asking you to 
   do technical stuff at your end and then get blasted by scary loud noise 
   for your pains. Ugh, not again, thanks.

2) Voice Activation with default threshold set to zero as default. 
   Push-to-talk is annoying as hell, and should be the optional mode, not
   the other way round.

3) A realtime display of current lag time (bar and/or numeric) would be 
   very nice. 
   Lag is unpredictable, and varies over time. Ping/pong protocol at meat
   level is very annoying, especially if one have to instruct some 
   clueless party on the other end first, through a link that doesn't
   work like your average phone.
 
4) Did I say three? Four, FOUR things. Even with current small user 
   community one will frequently get talked by new users debugging their
   setup (see points 2-3 to make it easier), or some teenagers who're out
   to annoy. It would be nice to have a realtime public phonebook with
   geographical separations, and ability to block connections from some
   parties.

   This point is currently very unimportant, though.

 Policing Bioterror Research

 One of science's hottest fields is now becoming one of its most heavily
 regulated, too. The U.S. government last week unveiled sweeping new
 bioterror research regulations that will require 20,000 scientists at
 nearly 1000 laboratories to beef up security--or face hefty fines and jail
 sentences. The interim rules, due to go into effect early next year, could
 also force scientists to get prior approval for a growing list of
 sensitive experiments.

 And where in the United States Constitution is there provision
 for controlling which experiments may be done, for what research
 articles may be published, for what thoughts may be thought?

I regret to inform you that henceforth, the Constitution and 
derivative laws will be used only in a public relations sense as 
a symbol of the legitimacy of the government, rather than as a 
written delineation of the firm limitations on the powers of 
government.

Previously, the United States Government claimed a monopoly on 
intimidation and violence within its borders, and it 
occasionally added other locales such as Latin America, 
Southeast Asia, etc.

Currently, it is extending that claim of monopoly world wide, 
and it is adding to its proscribed list any precursors that 
could aid, support, fund, hide, protect or otherwise further any 
power to intimidate and apply violence other than that of the 
United States and its surrogates, most notably the UK.

The precursors will include privacy, in any form, particularly 
encryption (unless its use is deemed a worthwhile flag for 
focused surveillance); associations with others, such as any 
loyal following or set of like-minded independent people that 
might be led in some direction not of Washington's choosing; 
information about the actions and plans of government, since 
that enables interference and could damage public acquiescence 
to necessary national security measures; financial resources, 
other than those that pass through verified identity 
gatekeepers; knowledge of the law, and the process of capturing, 
obtaining intelligence through torture, and imprisoning people, 
as that gives a balance of power and a sympathetic public forum 
to targets; and so on.

Intersections of those precursors, such as privacy and financial 
resources, or information and private associations, will be 
particularly attacked.

Not even a massive database on Americans designed by a former 
disgraced National Security Advisor who was convicted of 5 
felonies involving shipping shoulder fired missiles to Iran, 
lying to Congress, funding US-supported terrorism in Nicaragua 
that was prohibited by law, seems to earn any concern from the 
sheep. Not even the selected suspension of Habeas Corpus draws a 
crowd in opposition.

It is quite interesting to see how the evisceration of the Bill 
of Rights is essentially accepted unopposed. No marches in the 
streets, no demonstrations, no uproar from the liberal media, no 
effective political opposition as the Democrats and Republicans 
are competing only in which can be most draconian, as they 
practiced in setting the imprisonment penalties in the war on 
drugs.

The frog is being boiled by upping the thermostat a degree at a 
time, and it is just happily basking in the warming waters, 
trusting its attendant to protect its interests, in the name of 
National Security.

Lest one blame this president or his party, consider that there 
is no daylight between the parties on these measures.

The only debate we hear among our politicians is whether or not 
to preemptively do a Pearl Harbor on Iraq with or without a UN 
stamp of acquiescence. A war must be fought to provide a clearer 
reason for and distraction from the rise of fascism. If the 
people can be rewarded with cheaper gas at the pump as a bonus, 
then the highly-favorable body bag count of an imminently-
videoable war from 40,000 feet and cheaper energy will ensure a 
continuing grant of carte blanc to the government.

Have you heard Gore or Kerry or Edwards or Daschle or Gebhardt 
or others bemoan the designation of Americans as enemy 
combatants? Have the Democrats opposed the USA Patriot Act? 
Have the minority members of intelligence commitees demanded 
information on how powers of grabbing bookseller and library 
records is being used? No. This competition is one between free 
people and government-in-lockstep, and almost all of the people 
accept the ever-warming impositions of government out of custom, 
accepting the terrorism fear-mongering and long practice, 
further advanced by a gross ignorance of history.

We are witnessing the rise of a fascist state unlike any other 
in history, in that this fascist state is the world's sole 
superpower, positioned by technology, wealth, and military might 
to prevent the rise

Hows the War on Drugs Going?

2002-12-22 Thread Matthew X
Did you ever read the San Andres Accords in English? No? No newspaper has 
published them? I’m shocked and stunned! Narco News published them last 
December, as Fox was inaugurated 
(http://www.narconews.com/mextransition2.html). Did you know that the San 
Andres Accords, when made law, will restore the rights of all Mexico’s 56 
indigenous ethnic groups, 10 million people, to the ritual use of 
sacramental plants that are currently illegal under the drug war? Did you 
know that the accords will restore local indigenous systems of justice that 
do not imprison drug offenders, and yet have had more success stemming drug 
abuse and narco-trafficking than any other society in the Americas? Narco 
News readers do know that.
The Mexico City police commissioner, Alejandro Gertz Manero, called last 
May for a “Holland-style drug policy” in Mexico 
(http://www.narconews.com/hollandmexico.html). It was Narco News that 
translated his words to English and sent them worldwide over the Internet. 
Oh, and what’s Mr. Gertz doing today? He’s now the public-safety czar for 
the Mexican federal government (http://www.narconews.com/mextransition3.html).
Mexico’s secretary of state, Jorge Castañeda, Colin Powell’s counterpart, 
is a long-time backer of drug legalization 
(http://www.narconews.com/mextransition1.html).
The chief of the federal police, Miguel Angel de la Torre, is now a 
legalization backer (http://www.narconews.com/pfp1.html).
So are Mexico’s leading human-rights leaders and journalists 
(http://www.narconews.com/concha.html).
And just recently, as the Zapatista Army for National Liberation made its 
final gambit to force the federal congress to listen, at long last, to the 
indigenous movement — on the same day, Mexican president Vicente Fox said 
that he, too, favors drug legalization 
(http://www.narconews.com/splinters.html).

Abbie,Tim...who's next?
In his book, Abbie Hoffman: American Rebel (Rutgers University Press, 
1992), biographer Marty Jezer wrote that œAbbie saw in Al a younger 
version of himself. Giordano collaborated with Hoffman throughout the 
1980s in environmental and pro-democracy projects along the Saint Lawrence 
and Delaware Rivers, in Nicaragua and in New York City. He continues to 
work closely with Johanna Lawrenson, Hoffman's widow, and Lisa Fithian, the 
other key Hoffman protege, who helped organize the Seattle, Prague, and Los 
Angeles Democratic National Shadow Convention protests against 
globalization. Fithian was part of the Narco News journalistic team that 
was covering the Zapatista Caravan in Mexico in February and March 2001. 
Giordano publishes reportage by Latin American journalists that would not 
otherwise be available in English.

snip

Giordano: I went to Mexico in July of 1997, to Chiapas, with the intent of 
retiring from journalism and learning from the indigenous rebels, how to 
create a Zapatismo for my own homeland of New York. I admit I had desires 
to enlist. I found that the Indians of Chiapas didn't want me, or anyone, 
to become an Indian. They just wanted the right to be themselves, and for 
everyone in the world to have that same right. After talking, listening, 
living in their communities, I came to grasp what they were saying: Don't 
try to be what you are not. Try to be who you are. I am a journalist in a 
profession that has forgotten authentic journalism. And slowly, largely 
through learning from the indigenous rebels, I have developed what might be 
called my own kind of journalistic zapatismo.

Slowly, I have learned to create a space to conduct authentic journalism as 
I see it, to be myself again! I owe them a lot for this simple lesson I 
should have known all along.

snip

...I'm no snitch. And New York has a strong shield law that protects a 
journalist's right to protect his sources...

Giordano: What is interesting is that the traditional narco, the cartels 
and the like, have never threatened me. It's only the governments and the 
White Collar narcos! I think that after Pablo Escobar went down in 
Colombia, the traditional narcos learned that killing reporters was a net 
loss for them and brought more heat on their activities. My belief is that 
some of the reporters who get whacked get killed not because of crusading 
reporting, but because they made deals and didn't keep them, or because 
they chose sides between drug trafficking organizations. I think they know 
that I am not doing anybody's bidding and that I don't make deals.

snipFROM...

http://www.disinfo.com/pages/article/id1062/pg1/

As for the Zapatistas, I feel very confident. The key is the passage of the 
San Andrés Accords. If those peace agreements become law and indigenous 
autonomy is recognized by the Mexican constitution and I see that as 
attainable right now in the Congress the armed struggle will give way to 
democratic struggle. And the Indigenous National Congress, and the 
Zapatistas of Chiapas, and Subcomandante Marcos, will move on to a more 
global stage. The Zapatistas have offered the world a new way to fight. 
Narco News is just one small part of what happened to the Zapatistas. 
Without having learned from them, Narco News wouldn’t be possible. I 
remember writing about the Zapatistas in the Phoenix the first week of the 
rebellion. I am a Zapatista. And they don’t mind at all my saying so. 
Zapatismo, as a media virus, has now entered the journalistic profession. 
It’s unstoppable. It’s my life. And I love it.

KENNEDY: How does the Internet make it possible to do independent 
journalism in ways that would not have been possible pre-Net?


GIORDANO: That question kind of answers itself, no? It takes out the 
middleman! The writer can now communicate directly with the reader.

Dan, you’ve written some of the best analysis of this question, regarding 
the boom and bust of the dot-coms  I share your conclusion: anyone hoping 
to make a fortune out of Internet news is going to be disappointed. But for 
those who 'live off the land', as you say  who speak because they feel they 
have something to say these are the journalists who are kicking butt on the 
Internet.

The other part of this is how independent Internet journalism forces 
traditional news agencies, newspapers, broadcasters, and even commercial 
Internet news sites to adapt to not having a monopoly of control over the 
news. This is a real challenge for us at Narco News. As we said on our 
first day of publication, we are out to force stories onto their pages that 
otherwise would be ignored. And we have done that. And we do that. And we 
will keep it up.

Leave Venezuela: DFAT

22dec02

AUSTRALIANS have been warned to leave Venezuela, where a national strike is 
fuelling political tensions.

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT) today upgraded its travel advice 
on the South American nation, saying dependents of Australian embassy staff 
had been authorised to leave, and all travel there should be deferred.
Australians should defer all travel to Venezuela, DFAT said.

Australians in Venezuela are urged to depart.

Australians who choose to remain in Venezuela despite this advice should 
not travel to Amazonas state or to any area within 75 kilometres along the 
Venezuelan border with Colombia.

The security situation in Caracas and other major cities continues to 
deteriorate, due to the ongoing national strike which is fuelling political 
tensions between the government and the opposition.

Those remaining in Venezuela should avoid large public gatherings, maintain 
a high level of personal security awareness and keep themselves informed of 
developments that may affect their safety.

The strike was affecting supplies of basic necessities, especially petrol, 
and banks and food stores had reduced operating hours.

While international flights were operating, many domestic airlines had 
reduced schedules or ceased operations.

YOUTHS pelted police officers and a police car with rocks and bottles in 
Sydney overnight, injuring two female officers.

About six youths threw objects as the officers tried to speak to another 
youth near a convenience store in Glebe Point Road, Glebe.
As police spoke to the person he struggled violently and a group of about 
six youths started throwing bottles, rocks and tiles at the officers and 
their vehicle from the grounds of a nearby school, a police spokesman said.

The group fled when other officers arrived.

A marked police car was damaged.
Police inquiries are continuing.
AND
TWO police officers escaped injury when their patrol car was struck by an 
arrow at Ipswich, west of Brisbane.

A police spokesman said the officers were driving along Bennett Street, 
East Ipswich, at 6.30pm (AEST) yesterday when they heard a loud noise.
After stopping the vehicle they discovered it had been hit by a metal 
tipped arrow.

Police searched the surrounding area without finding the archer.

The spokesman said no-one had been injured and the police vehicle suffered 
no damage.

Gulags R us.
Detention centre firm dumped
By KAREN POLGLAZE
23dec02

IMMIGRATION detention centres across the nation will come under new management.

Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock highlighted better value for money as 
the reason Group 4 Falck Global Solutions won the tender from incumbent 
managers Australasian Correctional Management and two others.
ACM has been criticised for its handling of detention centres after 
asylum-seekers rioted and committed serious acts of self-harm, including 
hunger strikes, sewing their lips and drinking harmful liquids such as 
shampoo.

But the Denmark-based Group 4 has also come under fire over detention 
centres it runs in Britain.

In 1998, ACM began a 10-year agreement to run detention centres. But the 
Government last year announced it would put the contract to tender when the 
current one expired.
Mr Ruddock said the Government had started talks with Group 4 on a contract.

It is about better value for money but in terms of getting the best job 
done, we have sought to achieve that through very comprehensive detention 
standards that would apply whoever won the contract, he said in Perth.

Opposition immigration spokeswoman Julia Gillard said the changing of the 
guard would achieve little.

This is a distinction without a difference; this is a sham transfer, she 
said.

Group 4 is listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. In May, it acquired the 
US-based Wackenhut group, the parent company of ACM, but it and Group 4 
operate separately in Australia.

ACM are obviously disappointed that they didn't succeed with the 
retender, a spokesman for acting managing director Rodd Millican said.

It will work with the Government to ensure a smooth transition.

Most of ACM's 500 detention centre employees were on short-term contracts 
and may take up employment with the new managers, he said.

Refugee advocate Marion Le said it was no surprise ACM lost the contract.

It's indicative of the fact that despite the Government's positive 
rhetoric . . . and blaming refugees for the problems . . . the Government 
has had second thoughts, she said.

It's obvious to everyone that centre management has been very poor.

Group 4 has 542 employees managing prisons in Victoria and South Australia 
and prisoner transport in SA.

It operates in more than 80 countries and has an annual turnover of about 
$7.7 billion.

It has managed the Port Phillip Prison in Laverton since August 1997.

In March 1998, rioting broke out among 40 prisoners who also set fire to 
one of the accommodation units.
The prison officers' union alleged daily drug overdoses were occurring 
among inmates and that up to 100 suicides had been attempted in the first 
six months of operation. - AAP

Revised laws 'poison' for ASIO
By Dennis Shanahan
23dec02

SENIOR intelligence officers believe the amended version of legislation 
giving ASIO tougher counter-terror powers is worse than not having any new 
powers at all.

The proposed laws - as amended by Labor, the Greens and the Democrats in 
the Senate - would be a poisoned chalice for ASIO in fighting terrorism, 
according to intelligence officers' assessments.
There is concern the amended bill would not provide clear guidelines to 
ASIO, would make interrogation impractical and unworkable and leave the 
organisation exposed to blame if terrorists strike again.

It would look like we had been given tough new laws to deal with 
terrorism, but they are impractical, one intelligence officer said yesterday.

ASIO would be held accountable for a failure, but we would have been 
hampered from the word go.

One ASIO objection to the amended bill is that interviewees could walk out 
of custody after a few hours and tell associates about the investigation.

ASIO also fears that in some instances a lawyer of choice would not be 
security cleared, so any interview involving security material could not be 
held before the lawyer's background was checked.

Labor MPs returning to their electorates are finding a strong reaction 
against the party's opposition to the bill in the Senate, and the Prime 
Minister has become more popular since he refused to accept the amendments.

The Government refused to accept the Senate amendments after a marathon 
25-hour continuous parliamentary sitting last week.

The main area of contention is the period people can be held for 
interrogation by ASIO and the conditions under which they can be questioned.

ASIO wants the power to question people who may have knowledge of a 
terrorist threat for a minium of 48 hours and up to seven days, and to be 
able to have the person recalled if there is new evidence.

The Government's legislation allows legal representation for people being 
interviewed to be provided from a panel of lawyers who have been security 
cleared, a point originally agreed to by Labor members of the parliamentary 
committee that examined the issue.

ASIO director-general Dennis Richardson told the committee he understood 
people's objections to the new laws.

I appreciate there are going to be a lot of people who genuinely believe, 
for very good reasons, that it is not something that should be done, Mr 
Richardson said.

But he said the reasons for the changes did not come from a mad, driven 
perspective of wanting to break laws or infringe on people's rights.
On people being allowed to leave after eight hours of questioning, he said: 
It is not a question of concern about absconding, it is about who they 
might communicate with and what they might communicate.

Three 'Fagins' held for computer thefts
December 23 2002




Police have broken up a thriving trade in stolen computers, run by three 
Fagin figures who used street kids to rob schools. Philip Cornford reports.


Police have arrested three Fagins - computer shop owners who recruited a 
gang of street kids to steal computers from hundreds of schools.

One of the Fagins supplied the kids with a van so they could rob schools in 
Sydney and as far afield as the Blue Mountains, paying them $1000 for each 
stolen laptop and $500 for a hard drive.

They were unscrupulous adults - just like Fagin in Oliver - who used up 
these vulnerable kids and spat them out, said Detective Senior Constable 
Audrey Dickinson. They were a very active gang, hitting hundreds of schools.

In the biggest operation against school computer thefts - which cost $30 
million last year - Strike Force Warrendale laid 139 charges against 15 
offenders, 11 of them juveniles or young adults, for stealing computers 
worth $615,000.

Superintendent John Trott, Wollongong area commander, said police were 
targeting another 20 people believed to be associated with the thefts.
The problem is ... due to the portability and ease of resale of 
computers, he said.

The three Fagins - who owned two computer shops, one of which is still 
operating - are charged with 75 counts of receiving stolen property.

Police recovered stolen computers and hard drives worth $90,000.

A juvenile who worked from a motel has also been charged with receiving 
stolen computers.

Senior Constable Dickinson, officer in charge of Warrendale, said the 
computer shop owners had no difficulty recruiting the gang of young 
thieves, most of whom came from ruptured families.

These kids had nothing to lose, she said. The schools were soft targets; 
it was easy money. A couple of them would share several thousand dollars on 
a good night's work. There were plenty of willing recruits.

The thieves robbed so many schools they created a glut on the market, so 
the computer shop receivers halved the prices they paid the gang, to $500 
for a laptop and $250 for a hard drive.

Two men who ran one of the shops reassembled the hard drives in new 
computer casings.

The other computer shop receiver sent some of the stolen computers to a 
shop run by a criminal associate in Sydney.

Senior Constable Dickinson said the thieves tested school defences by 
breaking a window and then timing how long it took security guards to respond.

In some areas the average response time was 15 minutes, in others 20 minutes.

They knew how much time they had up their sleeves to get in, get the 
computers and get out, Senior Constable Dickinson said.

There wasn't any finesse. They ripped or cut out the hard drives, not 
caring what damage they did.

She said the thieves at first targeted schools around their homes, but then 
expanded their field of operations. The gang hit schools in inner Sydney 
suburbs, as well as Camden, Campbelltown, Sutherland, Penrith, the Blue 
Mountains, and the Illawarra region.

They frequently revisited the same schools, cleaning out what they had 
earlier left behind. One school in southern Sydney was robbed six times in 
a few months.

At first we thought we were dealing with a few thefts. We were surprised 
when we started to find out how active they were. It was an enormous job, 
just compiling the intelligence on where they had struck.

Senior Constable Dickinson said the gang did not rely on getting specific 
information about a particular school.
It wasn't necessary. They knew schools had the newest and best computers, 
they knew they were easy to get into, she said.
Senior Constable Dickinson said the thieves spent the money paid they by 
the Fagins on amphetamines, alcohol and poker machines. They're a sad lot

Here's another article in a seemingly endless series of disclosures of
government snooping, this one about the (well-deserved) embarrassment
the
Denver Police Department has suffered after it began sharing secretly
collected data it's been keeping since the 50s.. seems some 3,400 files
were
being kept (on index cards, in a file cabinet) on people the PD defined
as
being 'suspicious', including the Nobel-prizewinning American Friends
Service Committee (classified as 'criminal extremists'), supposedly
'troubled' students in local public schools (minors who had committed no

crimes - I wonder if in future questioning the war on terror will
qualify
one as 'troubled'?), humanitarian nun groups, and, shamefully enough, a
Japanese-American citizen who was detained in WWII - I guess the
government
just couldn't let the poor woman alone, given her *suspicious ancestry*
and
*habit of going to protests* (as if she didn't have more than enough
reason
to already!)

And though the PD had specific guidelines prohibiting such spying on
'ordinary citizens not suspected of criminal wrongdoing,' they were
never
put into effect.. and presumably, the surveillance would have continued
unabated had the Denver PD not made the mistake of beginning to share
the
data with other nearby PDs with less questionable morals - some
anonymous
whistleblower (no pun intended) dropped a printout of some of these
secret
records off at a coffee shop (before an Amnesty International meeting,
coincidentally enough), for a local man who, along with his wife, was
wrongfully surveilled - and, sure enough, he took the docs to the ACLU
and
sued.. which started turning up skeletons in the closet dating waaay
back..

Also, as the article points out, it was only recently that the Denver PD

decided to start filing their data electronically (since, literally,
their
cabinet of illegally obtained data was overflowing..) - and here's
another
connection to the federal government - they bought a system from Orion
Scientific Systems (http://www.orionsci.com - their motto should be
'reach
for the sky,' not 'reach for the stars') *which got its start developing

software for DARPA 20 years ago*.. the article says the software they
peddled to PDs was a 'revamped version' of what they'd developed for the

Pentagon, with DARPA's help.. and I wouldn't be surprised if some of
this
software, with 'criminal extremists' as one of the default
classifications
for records, was being used by other departments around the country
already.. in fact, the article says NYC just paid almost $750K for a new

version of OSS's software.. according to Orion's website, the software
is a
database application which provides the investigator with a
comprehensive
analytic tool for tracking and analyzing crimes based on information
collected about Events, Groups, Individuals, and Vehicles that are
related
to a crime scene.. but apparently it's just as useful for filing data
about
people whether or not they're related to crimes.. just like many tools,
I'm
sure this is useful and beneficial in the right hands, but I'm not sure
the
police of Denver - or New York, and certainly not LA - are those 'right
hands', given their track records..

Finally, I think we should note that this kind of surveillance may
become
more widespread in future, as more and more police departments are
looking
to change the laws and guidelines that prohibit them from collecting
data on
people not suspected of existing crimes.. as noted in the New York Times

almost two weeks ago
(http://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/10/national/10PRIV.html, I think I
submitted
this before..)

Somehow there exists a pure Capitalism

2002-12-22 Thread Matthew X
...One of the central myths that much of the current talk about 
'globalization' propagates is that the state is opposed to the global 
accumulation and expansion of capital. Somehow there exists a pure 
Capitalism which needs no state to protect its property system, guarantee 
its currency, mediate its disputes and contain social conflict. But to 
realign ourselves with the state and nationalism is to align ourselves with 
the reproduction of capitalism as a system and against a certain set of 
capitalists. There is no pure Capitalism that wishes the state would 
disappear...

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL



Seeking for a Dedicated and Committed Partnership in a
Business Proposal Worth US$26.5m.

Through some discreet inquiries from our Chambers of
Commerce, you and your organization were revealed as
being quite astute in private entrepreneur. On this on
this premise, we have no doubt in your ability to
handle a financial business of considerable
amount,which will form the bedrock of an extensive
business partnership in due course.

In unfolding this proposal,I want to count on your
status, as a respected executive of your company to
believe that you will handle it with all sincerity and
accord it absolute confidentiality that it deserves.

Being the secretary to the panel that is reviewing the
award of past project that discovered this fund, I
have been mandated to open a business relationship
with you on this mutually beneficial opportunity.

This business involves the remittance of US$26.5
million (Twenty Six Million, Five Hundred Thousand
dollars) only into your bank account from our apex
bank where this fund has been lying idle in a suspense
account. The money accrued through deliberate
over-invoicing of old project executed for the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation by some
foreign firms.

We have worked out this scheme to benefit us along
with any foreign partner who obliges us the
materials and channel to transfer out the fund into
his/her nominated account with a view to traveling
down to meet you thereafter so that we can have our
share.

In the past, we did encounter a great loss from our
previous experience with a Swiss who in trying to
assist us suggested that the transfer should be done
in three installments into his account.Together, we
were able to transfer the first installment which was
assumed to be a part payment of the contract sum
amounting to US$8.625M (Eight million, six hundred and
twenty five thousand dollars), into his account that
he gave us.He however disappeared into thin air on our
arrival at Zurich in Switzerland to collect our share.
Series of attempt to contact him proved abortive and
that is how we lost this whooping amount to the Swiss.

We have now fully worked out the operational
modalities to avoid any reoccurrence of such loss
and to forestall any hitch. If you would assist or
participate in this deal, then please endeavor to get
in touch with me immediately via my E-mail address as
written above.

In picking on you for this business, please note that
your expertise has been taken into consideration, as
you will be required to guide us through a wise
investment of our share of the fund in a viable and
profitable venture in your country.

In the world over, bigger firms who bid for various
contracts especially in third world countries like
ours can sub-contract some of them to other firms for
execution. That is your firm will be regarded as one
of those that executed one of such projects and
therefore entitled to receive the contract value. Be
rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free
as there is actually no risk involved either now or in
the future for we are well connected in official
circle. Given our level of commitment at the moment,we
want to assure you that with full dedication on your
part, the objective of having this fund remitted would
have been realized within a period of two weeks.

It is hereby expressly agreed in principle that at the
end of the transaction, you will be entitled to 20% of
the entire sum, which you are free to withdraw as soon
as you confirm that the fund has been remitted into
your account.

I am awaiting your response most urgently whether you
are interested or not to enable me know the next move
to make.

Contact me directly on my Email address if you are
interested with your company name/address and your
personal tel/fax numbers.

Thanks.

THE EZLN IS NOT ANARCHIST.

THE EZLN IS NOT ANARCHIST: Or Struggles at the Margins and Revolutionary 
Solidarity
In a future revolutionary period the most subtle and most dangerous 
defenders of capitalism will not be the people shouting pro-capitalist and 
pro-statist slogans, but those who have understood the possible point of 
total rupture. Far from eulogizing TV commercials and social submission, 
they will propose to change life…but to that end, call for building a true 
democratic power first. If they succeed in dominating the situation, the 
creation of this new political form will use up people’s energy, fritter 
away radical aspirations and, with the means becoming the end, will once 
again turn revolution into an ideology. —Gilles Dauve

The current restructuring of capital and its global expansion intrudes to 
an ever greater extent in to the lives of those on its margins. Peasants 
and indigenous people in non-Western, so-called “third world” nations, who 
have maintained some level of control over their subsistence up to now, are 
finding themselves forced to leave their lands or conform their activities 
to the needs of the world capitalist market simply to survive. It is, 
therefore, not surprising that movements of resistance against the various 
aspects of capitalist intrusion have arisen among these people in many 
parts of the world.

In previous issues of Willful Disobedience, I have written about the West 
Papua Freedom Movement (OPM). This movement of the indigenous people West 
Papua, many of whom continue to live as they did for centuries before any 
colonial powers arrived, against their Indonesian rulers is quite clear 
about refusing “modern life”—that is, the state, capital and everything 
that industrial civilization imposes. Or as they have said in communiqués: 
“We want to be left alone!” But this is the one thing that capital and the 
state will never grant. Although the OPM has sent delegates to demand talks 
with the Indonesian government, the West Papuans are increasingly aware of 
the futility of such negotiations. Recent communiqués talk increasingly of 
fighting to the death if necessary. After all, succumbing to the intrusion 
of capital would mean their spiritual death in any case. Their clarity 
about what they do not want has probably played an important part in 
guaranteeing that this movement, though armed, has never developed a 
separated military body, but rather has fought using methods traditional to 
their cultures. On the other hand, they have not completely escaped the 
ideology of nationalism, or at least its use in an attempt to have some 
credibility before world opinion. Still, this movement stands for having 
very few illusions about what the civilized social order and its 
institutions have to offer.

Another struggle at the farthest fringes of capitalist expansion is that of 
the people of Bougainville, an island about five miles west of the Solomon 
Islands, which has been under the rule of Papua New Guinea (not to be 
mistaken for West Papua) since 1975. The people of this island were pushed 
to revolt when CRA, an Australian subsidiary of Rio Tinto Zinc, installed a 
copper mine, causing hundreds of locals to lose their homes, lands and 
fishing rights, as well as destroying much of the jungle. The mine expanded 
until it was a half kilometer deep and seven kilometers in diameter. 
Protests, petitions and demands for compensation proved ineffective. So in 
1988, a handful of islanders stole explosives from the mining company and 
began to destroy its structures and machinery. When the Papua New Guinea 
(PNG) government sent in its armed forces, the Bougainville Revolutionary 
Army (BRA) was formed to battle the PNG military and their Australian 
advisers. Armed only with homemade guns, dealing with a total blockade of 
the island by Australian boats and helicopters and largely ignored by the 
outside world, the people of Bougainville have nearly achieved autonomy. A 
peace process began in 1997 and those PNG soldiers still on the island have 
been confined to their barracks. An independent governing authority has 
begun to develop certainly to give credibility in the eyes of the states of 
the world to an autonomous Bougainvilleand this will likely have a negative 
effect on the reconstructing of the community and the environment, making 
it easier for Bougainville to be drawn into the world economic order. As 
was said in Terra Selvaggio: The history of rebellion is much too full of 
liberators who transform themselves into jailers and radicals who ‘forget’ 
their programs of social change once they’ve seized power. Nonetheless, the 
small dimensions of the island combined with the absence of any urban 
centers makes the process of construction of state power difficult. And the 
determination of the people not to allow the mine to reopen is their best 
protection against the expansion of capital on the island.

While the indigenous people of West Papua and Bougainville

[... Quoting Lucky]
 Anyway, the project I was thinking of related to encrypting 
 SMS messages.
 I discovered that while it was possible to modify Nokia firmware to
 support SMS encryption, there were easier solutions by running the SMS
 through a PC. There are other projects underway that provide 
 encrypted SMS
 messages using a Basic STAMP computer. Sorry, I am not in a 
 position to
 disclose details at this time.

Modified firmware:
The code was never finished since easier and more maintainable solutions
exist. See below.

BASIC Stamp:
I believe that code was completed. The SMS encryption protocol (SEMS)
that grew out of that project has been published. SEMS has seen a bit of
review from the community; the protocol is sufficiently simple to
probably not hold any surprises. The protocol specs used to be at
http://www.nah6.com/SEMS 
Unfortunately, this part of the NAH6 website is currently down for

How long do you think it would be before the ISP described below would
receive a cease and desist letter, ordering it to remove the cameras,
in order to protect customer privacy?


I guess it would depend on the ISP's posted privacy policy.  There are no 
regulations, AFAIK, that set some minimum standard for customer

Brin's ISP

2002-12-22 Thread A.Melon
How long do you think it would be before the ISP described below would 
receive a cease and desist letter, ordering it to remove the cameras, 
in order to protect customer privacy?

My mind is churning...one would think there'd be a cute techno-fix to this...oh wait, 
what about some form of brute force? Probably won't work but, call it 
brainstorming...

1)In addition to having ISP services, the ISP also functions as a sort of info 
safe-deposit box-type place (where floppies and such are stored and loaded on 
request), except...

2) The boxes have a space-age plexiglass wall between the box and the main area

3) Each box is rented out to a different person

4) Only the rentees have the keys to open the boxes, and they do so only via blacknet, 
and there's no record of who rents what box (see 6).

5) Many of these customers may have chosen to place a little camera in their box, say 
to watch over their property

The idea here is that in order to shut down the cameras, they have to find every 
single owner, clearly not a very fruitful task if the proper measures have been taken.

Of course, they'll probably be back with a big can of black paint, but 6)that's 
exactly when each ownee can send a signal trashing any data with their names or other 
info on it.

Also,I'm wondering if some IR can penetrate paint...

ALright, alright, THIS idea probably has lots of holes in it, but the idea isn't to 
knock down ideas but to come up with something that works.

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.

2002-12-22 Thread ROBERT SAVIMBI
Good day,

 

My proposal to you will be very surprising, as we have not had any personal contact. 
However, I sincerely seek your confidence in this transaction, which I propose to you 
as a person of transparency,honesty and caliber.
 
Let me first start by introducing myself properly to you. My name is Robert Savimbi 
cousin and Personal Assistant of Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, the leader UNITA (National 
Union for the Total independence of Angola). I got your email address from network 
directory. I apologize if I have infringed  on your privacy.

You may know that my Uncle was recently killed in a battle with the government troops 
of Angola, led by President Dos Santos, on friday 22nd February, 2002. 
 
Now Mr. Antonio Dembo and general Paulo Lukamba who were my Uncle's second in command, 
has assumed office as leader of UNITA. In spite of this, UNITA is like a herd of 
cattle without shepherd. Prominent members like Carlos Morgado are still lobbying to 
oust them and assume office as leader to enrich themselves and some of them who see me 
as a threat to their ambitions, including General paula lukamba, are planning to kill 
me. For more information check www.angola.org. 

However, I am a young man who has ambitions and I am not in any way interested in 
wars, this is why I secretly left Angola and come here (Netherlands) to seek political 
asylum.

 I am sincerely seeking for your urgent help in respect to safe keeping of some of my 
Uncle's money that arose from Diamonds sales. This money (US$18.5million), was already 
on its way to my Uncle's Swiss Bank account. It was on transit with a safe deposit 
company here in Netherlands, when the tragic incident of my Uncle's death occurred. 

As a matter of fact, this is the reason I chose to come to Netherlands to seek 
political asylum. It is very clear with the way things are now, that President Dos 
Santos will lobby the International Community to freeze my Uncle's assets and accounts 
abroad, to ground UNITA, since he has already done this in Angola.

I plan to use this money to safeguard my future. It is very essential that you 
understand that the kind of trust and confidence I want to put in you is 
extraordinary, and an act of desperation on my part, in order not to lose this money. 
Please, treat this contact with utmost secrecy and confidentiality for security and 
safety reasons.

The help I need from you is clearing the box containing the funds from the security 
company, after which, it will be deposited in an account in your name, with my name as 
next of kin. The money shall remain in your custody till my asylum application is 
granted, and I have the permit to conduct business, then you will transfer the account 
to me. Meanwhile, the money can be invested into risk-free profitable ventures, and 
there will an agreement to protect my interest. I have all the documents that will 
enable you claim the consignment from the security company.

For your reliable assistance, I will reward you with 15% of the money, and we shall 
use 5% to carry out every expenses that we come across during the transaction and the 
investment process. The remainder of the 5%, shall be given to a charity of your 
choice.

I thank you in advance in anticipation for your assistance in enabling me achieve this 
goal. Please contact me whether or not you are interested in assisting me. This will 
enable me scout for another partner in the event of non-interest on your part.

NOTE:your prompt response will be appreciated.
 

Sincerely,

R.Savimbi.

Re: Policing Bioterror Research

2002-12-22 Thread Anonymous via the Cypherpunks Tonga Remailer
The main question is - is 1984-type society stable ?

All this lamenting about hamstringed sheeple and fascist state does no good if it 
cannot motivate some effective resistance.

My take is that via decimation of the middle class, successful subverting of the 
education system and development of the best propaganda machinery in the known 
history, the grounds are ready for a long-term stable totalitarian state.

The WTC theatre was a masterpiece. I don't know if USG directly, indirectly or via 
simple negligence sponsored that event - but I am positive that the mythology of 
government is too dumb to do anything intelligent is outright wrong. They are not 
dumb. The WTC was used with extreme efficiency - I don't think that they missed any 
aspect of capitalizing on it.

So, what can be done to blow the brains of the fascist state?

The small, or better negligible number of intellectuals and desperadoes of various 
kinds (from cypherpunks to militias) are not going to do it. Not enough discomfort, 
balls and guns.

Foreign opponents ? Unlikely. Europe has no military to speak of, and 60,000 US troops 
in wiesbaden have tight control of the nuclear arsenal. The only semi-independent 
power is France. Russia ? It's still trying to stop the slide into the third world.

So that leaves us with china, and it seems that chinese are in a mood for having two 
cooperating fascist governments rather than war.

Who then ?

I see the only hope in some unforeseen development, most likely technological, that 
would disrupt the mechanics of the empire faster than the empire can coopt it. This 
has happened in the fast. Gutenberg's press effectively destroyed the church's power.

I think that this is the main reason behind massive clampdown on research of any kind. 
The empire knows that runaway knowledge and intelligence can kill it - therefore it 
will ban it.

This is not about bioweapons or something known. This is the drive to achieve the 
monopoly on the knowledge and ensure the longevity of the empire. Empire knows very 
well that if someone, in some garage, invents a zap gun, that may be the end of it. 
And this regularly happened in the history.

So, read books, do experiments and teach others the same. Don't forget to play good 
consumers during the day - you don't want to get on the List. We will know when 
someone invents the Zap Gun. You'll see heads exploding on live TV.

Re: How robust is SpeakFreely?

2002-12-22 Thread Eugen Leitl
As an user of SpeakFreely (7.2 on Windows, stillcan't get my USB headset 
to work properly with SF 7.3 on Linux) I've got the following three items 
on my wish list. (Hey, I wasn't naughty this year. Honest).

1) built-in PKI support, with fallback to clear. Right now it uses some 
   obscure PGP version, and probably doesn't even ask key servers. In
   practise it's much easer to agree on an IDEA of Blowish key -- but it's
   not an out of band communication, and if you don't switch to the same
   key synchronously one party is going to have her eardrums blasted with
   LOUD digital noise. I think it would be simplest to use SSL, with 
   PGP (7.2 doesn't support GPG apparently) support left in for those 
   parties who need it.

   I must stress that currently using crypto means:

   1) people asking you to do some complicated operations on your end,
  while you're unsure why (you just wanted to talk, why does this
  other party asks me this for? what are his motives?)
   2) using some rather technical lingo (have you ever tried explaining
  what cryptography is to a houswife from the Emirates? And why she
  possibly can get in trouble using it? (She doesn't, I looked up the
  crypto regulations for her country)).
   3) if you comply, you get blasted with LOUD SCARY NOISE

   As you can see, here's some heavy negative conditioning at work here, 
   making the average user associate crypto with pushy geeks asking you to 
   do technical stuff at your end and then get blasted by scary loud noise 
   for your pains. Ugh, not again, thanks.

2) Voice Activation with default threshold set to zero as default. 
   Push-to-talk is annoying as hell, and should be the optional mode, not
   the other way round.

3) A realtime display of current lag time (bar and/or numeric) would be 
   very nice. 
   Lag is unpredictable, and varies over time. Ping/pong protocol at meat
   level is very annoying, especially if one have to instruct some 
   clueless party on the other end first, through a link that doesn't
   work like your average phone.
 
4) Did I say three? Four, FOUR things. Even with current small user 
   community one will frequently get talked by new users debugging their
   setup (see points 2-3 to make it easier), or some teenagers who're out
   to annoy. It would be nice to have a realtime public phonebook with
   geographical separations, and ability to block connections from some
   parties.

   This point is currently very unimportant, though.

 Policing Bioterror Research

 One of science's hottest fields is now becoming one of its most heavily
 regulated, too. The U.S. government last week unveiled sweeping new
 bioterror research regulations that will require 20,000 scientists at
 nearly 1000 laboratories to beef up security--or face hefty fines and jail
 sentences. The interim rules, due to go into effect early next year, could
 also force scientists to get prior approval for a growing list of
 sensitive experiments.

 And where in the United States Constitution is there provision
 for controlling which experiments may be done, for what research
 articles may be published, for what thoughts may be thought?

I regret to inform you that henceforth, the Constitution and 
derivative laws will be used only in a public relations sense as 
a symbol of the legitimacy of the government, rather than as a 
written delineation of the firm limitations on the powers of 
government.

Previously, the United States Government claimed a monopoly on 
intimidation and violence within its borders, and it 
occasionally added other locales such as Latin America, 
Southeast Asia, etc.

Currently, it is extending that claim of monopoly world wide, 
and it is adding to its proscribed list any precursors that 
could aid, support, fund, hide, protect or otherwise further any 
power to intimidate and apply violence other than that of the 
United States and its surrogates, most notably the UK.

The precursors will include privacy, in any form, particularly 
encryption (unless its use is deemed a worthwhile flag for 
focused surveillance); associations with others, such as any 
loyal following or set of like-minded independent people that 
might be led in some direction not of Washington's choosing; 
information about the actions and plans of government, since 
that enables interference and could damage public acquiescence 
to necessary national security measures; financial resources, 
other than those that pass through verified identity 
gatekeepers; knowledge of the law, and the process of capturing, 
obtaining intelligence through torture, and imprisoning people, 
as that gives a balance of power and a sympathetic public forum 
to targets; and so on.

Intersections of those precursors, such as privacy and financial 
resources, or information and private associations, will be 
particularly attacked.

Not even a massive database on Americans designed by a former 
disgraced National Security Advisor who was convicted of 5 
felonies involving shipping shoulder fired missiles to Iran, 
lying to Congress, funding US-supported terrorism in Nicaragua 
that was prohibited by law, seems to earn any concern from the 
sheep. Not even the selected suspension of Habeas Corpus draws a 
crowd in opposition.

It is quite interesting to see how the evisceration of the Bill 
of Rights is essentially accepted unopposed. No marches in the 
streets, no demonstrations, no uproar from the liberal media, no 
effective political opposition as the Democrats and Republicans 
are competing only in which can be most draconian, as they 
practiced in setting the imprisonment penalties in the war on 
drugs.

The frog is being boiled by upping the thermostat a degree at a 
time, and it is just happily basking in the warming waters, 
trusting its attendant to protect its interests, in the name of 
National Security.

Lest one blame this president or his party, consider that there 
is no daylight between the parties on these measures.

The only debate we hear among our politicians is whether or not 
to preemptively do a Pearl Harbor on Iraq with or without a UN 
stamp of acquiescence. A war must be fought to provide a clearer 
reason for and distraction from the rise of fascism. If the 
people can be rewarded with cheaper gas at the pump as a bonus, 
then the highly-favorable body bag count of an imminently-
videoable war from 40,000 feet and cheaper energy will ensure a 
continuing grant of carte blanc to the government.

Have you heard Gore or Kerry or Edwards or Daschle or Gebhardt
