>>There are those people who seek out trouble. Still others
accidentally attract it. And then there are those who have devoted their
lives<<
1 'year of living dangerously' is NOT a life,mate.I've spent decades
taking drugs and sleeping around,Lotus eating.Bad start.
>>to stalking trouble, running it to ground, sneaking up
behind it, thwapping it on the nose, proclaiming that its mother wears
combat boots, and daring it to an impromptu match of
fisticuffs.<<
It aint me babe,I've had about 3 fights in my life.(2 KO's 1 TKO) I'm
heavily into violence minimization.APster style.
>>Afterward they lie, nose-bloodied and battered, on the
ground and grumble. (In a grudge match, trouble always
wins.)<<
Get out your mats and pray to the CATO Institute?You cant beat the
Combine? If you don't have a go,you'll never never know.We cant all be
pragmatic cowards,declan,and sometimes David beats Goliath.
>>Matt Stephen Taylor (who goes by "proffr" and
"mattd") is one of those people. <<
Well actually I'm not and I feel I'm being misrepresented by a tool of
the crap corporate media.

far as I can tell, he's done little but tempt trouble:
http://www.politechbot.com/cgi-bin/politech.cgi?name=proffr
Trouble came and went when mattd/proffr, who lives in
central Victoria, Australia, taunted the Cincinnati police. He allegedly
posted threats against Steven Roach, the policeman whose shooting of an
unarmed black man led to riots in Cincinnati.<<
Trouble has significance for one of my heros,"bommi Baumann's
book,"Wie Alles Anfing" is good on that.I agree with the ALF
and ELF that this planet is in a shitload of Trouble.The police aren't
helping much.
I helped make michael K Allen and his e-security flunky and process
server look the biggest fools since the keystone cops.That's no
trouble...that's ergonomic activism.I also had a go at the depraved
corruption of the FBI.I broke no laws.
This is ergonomic activism.Its a damn shame the OVIMC was hacked and is
still offline.
>>But the Australian cops nabbed proffr/mattd first, and
proffr/mattd pled guilty to vandalizing a McDonald's
restaurant.<<
I should not have done that (pled guilty)as I was to drunk to form
intent.Photo's taken by the local arm of the police,the herald
sun,(Scum)a Murdoch rag were handed to police by the truckload.Like the
media under Milosovic,they risk the same wrath of the people lied to.I am
proud to be (however loosely) associated with Jose Bove and many other's
disgusted with the Mc murderers,McLies and Mc Swill.
>>While the legal process is going forward,<<
Police steal notebook,take 8 months to Interview about 2 posts,still no
charges.It will be 9 months on march 1.
Justice delayed is justice denied.This is looking less like "legal
process" every day.Abuse of Power?
>>mattd/proffr has amused himself by subscribing to the
cypherpunks list,<<
Funny I don't recall doing that,is there some proof of that declan? I
amuse myself with subs to RSA , Politech and the daily bleed.Perhaps the
Victorian police have used my stolen laptop to subscribe to the C/punks
list?I'm on record as describing the Cypherpunks list as a surveilled
strip mall.
>>a place not known for people who are readily offended.
<<
Seth F easily offended you and Tim 'mongo' May not that long ago.There
are a few pussies stinking up that place.
>>Yet his unique combination of rants and inchoate posts (my
filters have snared about 780 of them) has driven subscribers to invent
custom procmail recipies to complain about off-topic messages. One
message that went to his Internet provider was a little whiny
<<
This Politech post is not (!)
>>by list standards, but captured the sentiment well:
"To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Subject: Re: Youth in Asia // Someone who
appears to be posting from a nex.net.au address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
keeps posting large volumes of spam, obcenity, death threats to random
people, mail bombs, and so forth to our mailing list. He keeps changing
his apparent address, so
we have difficulty filtering him out. His postings were originally merely
excessive and of doubtful relevance, but have become more and more
hostile and harassing."<<
This is from the liars liar jamesd.It puts me in with spanish
anarchists,Chompsky+Ted Turner as people lied about by jamesd.I am quite
proud to be lied about by this guy,he's a usenet legend.ITs very
telling,(and worrying) that declan quote someone like jamesd in this
way.It should be noted and filed.You lie down with dogs...
>>mattd/proffr appears to have subscribed to the cypherpunks
list<<
There you go again! Where is your evidence that I EVER subscribed to this
list? Put it up or shut up.
>>to carry on the dubious mission of Jim Bell, <<
Who's in Lompoc and cant defend himself.Your a low coward
declan.
>>the author of the long-winded<<
Nowt to do with this hatchet job.Eh!
>>anarcho screed Assassination Politics. Bell wrote how the next
generation of Internet entrepreneurs will use digital cash, anonymous
remailers, and such to off miscreant federal agents (Bell especially
didn't care for tax collectors):
http://zolatimes.com/v2.26/jimbell.htm
Bell, of course, was convicted last year by a Washington
state jury and is serving 10 years in the Lompoc federal prison. Bell was
another dedicated trouble-hunter, <<
Another low blow,Jim possibly was deserving of a restraining order and
time served.Not 10 motherfucking years.Another slur on someone unable to
defend themselves,way to go shitheel.
>>as was Carl Johnson, a cypherpunk who was convicted of threats
but is now out of gaol, at least temporarily (his probation officer
apparently told him not to seek trouble by continuing to participate in
list discussions): <<
http://www.politechbot.com/p-02938.html
Peter Trei helped by carelessness or more sinister motives (he
works for RSA that supply the chinese gestapo.) outed a post relating to
CJ thus possibly assisting in his repression.Some of my posts to the
C/list question that incident.No response so far.We are getting a clearer
picture of declans idea of 'trouble'.
>>Although Bell technically was convicted for allegedly stalking
federal agents, his essay and political views became a big part of his
trial:
http://www.cluebot.com/search.pl?topic=ap-politics
Essay's,political views,writings,posts,000's and 111's.This
seems to be declan's and the P.I.Gs idea of 'trouble'.He seems scared of
another subpoena! Time to quit while your ahead dec,let a reporter with
some guts in.
>>Now mattd/proffr seems to want to follow the Bell-Johnson
precedent by emailing semi-random rants and Assassination
Politics-related references to the cypherpunks list, and, I presume, just
about everywhere else.<<
And declan looks like he wants to help the Persons Impersonating Govt
servants to gag me.He presume's too much.
>>Here's a representative excerpt from one of his posts:
Youth In Asia Society: At our last monthly meeting, we discussed all of
the
reasons there are not to KILL THE PRESIDENT. We think it is our duty to
inform people of our objection to those who believe it is necessary to
KILL
THE PRESIDENT. We also object to people who are constantly running
around,
shouting, incessantly, "KILL THE PRESIDENT! KILL THE PRESIDENT! KILL
THE
PRESIDENT! KILL THE PRESIDENT! KILL THE PRESIDENT! KILL THE PRESIDENT!
KILL
THE PRESIDENT! KILL THE PRESIDENT! KILL THE PRESIDENT! KILL THE
PRESIDENT!
KILL THE PRESIDENT! KILL THE PRESIDENT! KILL THE PRESIDENT!"
It's a lot longer, but you get the idea.<<
This is quite funny,I wrote about data mining the archive's for a 'best
of' list.In the context of being attacked by procmail,one of the posts I
selected from 97-9or10 was posted to C/punks.There does appear to be some
material in the C/punk archives that could be used to attack list
members.One by declan calls for self-censorship.(from 97) On another
occasion declan prints a story damaging to a list member in
Wired.(measl)Then there's his attack on Seth.I'm still turning up
fascinating posts from list hirstory.Should the authorities and their
stooges succeed in garroting me.Ill start on a book.(See archives 97-10
for the original post,its old and was reproduced exactly as written by
anon,nowt added)
>>This style of posting seems to have raised some eyebrows inside
the Australian constabulary,<<
So posts from 1997 retain their power.I like quite a few of Jims from
96.Well worth a look.
>>not to mention leading to a raid, a laptop
seizure,<<
I've been questioned about 2 posts rather different from the old archived
post.Both were made prior to June 2,01 and are available by request.I'll
be passing them to the au EFA soon.They seem mild by C/punk list
standards.
I've made no admissions re these posts though I do admit the OVIMC one.I
know 1 post can get you 4 years in the LaoGai but au and the US have free
speech,right?"Many of the messages posted to cypherpunks over the
years have violated copyright, federal laws, and societal
mores."archived.
and an interrogation or two. Read in mattd/proffr's own words below
how he hasn't given up on tempting trouble.
-Declan<<
It never hurts to check your sources and if you no longer want to risk
'trouble' you don't want your job.
"Free speech I may tersely define as ,no opinion a law,no opinion a
crime."Alex.Berkman.
