Who - the fuck - is we. My message was addressed to grarpamp. I
bet he didn't read it in real time.

Because an absurdist like you says so.

Exactly what a US establishment puppet woud say.
So let's see :
1992 :
"Computer technology is on the verge of providing the ability
for individuals and groups to communicate and interact with
each other in a totally anonymous manner. "
I wonder if Tim May is embarrased at having mande such a
blatantly wrong predicion.
" Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive
re- routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which
implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance
against any tampering."
Where are such networks operating?
What we do have is completely sabotaged hardware courtesy of
Intel Inc, a criminal organization that May had something to
do, I believe.

Sure. It's especially important that the political 'mistakes' of
the american nazis be completely 'ignored'.
