What months of emails are missing? By my recollection, nearly all postings
in the 1995 archive file end February 14, 1995, and resume about July 11, 1995.
(there are a very few during this period, though.) I think this simulates a
'data loss'.But, very few postings mentioning "Jim Bell",
"[email protected]", " ap ", "assassination politics" occur even after July
11, 1995: Just a handful in November and December 1995.
One possibility is that 'they' were trying to make my AP look like it appeared
8 months after it actually did. What happened on April 19, 1995? The Oklahoma
City Bombing. (OKCB). It is an expected fact that populations are likely to
be more sympathetic to extreme government reactions if they seem to be 'under
attack'. A historian studying the (faked) archive would conclude that AP must
have been first publicized November 1995, well after the truth: February 1995.
I wrote AP in the shadow of the Ruby Ridge incident in August 1992, and the
Waco Texas incident which occurred April 1993. By January 1995, it was obvious
that no Federal employee was going to be punished for those matters, and
certainly not adequately. But I also knew that the public had no mechanism to
force that punishment, which was very much needed. I invented what I soon
labelled "Assassination Politics", realized that it was the tool the public
needed, and wrote the essay and publicized it.
The Federal Government began spying on me almost immediately, and in fact about
2 months prior to the OKCB. By making it appear that AP was written and
published in November 1995, they invert this relationship and perhaps make it
appear that I sympathized with the OKCB, where instead I wanted to make such
incidents totally unnecessary.
Those who faked the archive may also have deleted other emails, figuring that
if they had only deleted a few, we would eventually learn what those few emails
were. By deleting perhaps thousands, they concealed what was done.

If you've been following my idea, "assassination politics," you know that
there is an excellent use for payee-anonymous digital cash.
First mention of '/ass?ass?inn?ation pol/i'
in the entire copy is Jim's above...
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 1995 11:25:42 -0800
This may mean...
- Posts implied by the "following" context above
occurred earlier elsewhere that was not being fed to Toad
(elsewhere could include some non-cpunks channel[s]),
and Jim switched to Toad later by first date above.
- Some other cpunks remailer variation on that.
- Censorship of two independant archive sources.
Perhaps a bit unlikely since the serialization format
of the Toad source seems intact (Yahoo failed its
own serialization, and Venona/Cryptome has none).
Exactly what months, and or other specific elements
and or posts, are people saying are missing again?
Then there was...
