For consistency and proportionality
Jim Bell might be released and Jeff Luers sentence cut to 4-5 years. Last year, the Commission promulgated an amendment that referenced 18 U.S.C. 2339 and 2339A to 2X2.1 (Aiding and Abetting) and 2X3.1 (Accessory After the Fact). The offense at 18 U.S.C. 2339 prohibits harboring or concealing any person who the defendant knows, or has reasonable grounds to believe, has committed or is about to commit one of several enumerated offenses. The maximum term of imprisonment is 10 years. The offense at 18 U.S.C. 2339A prohibits the provision of material support or resources to terrorists, knowing or intending that they will be used in the preparation for, or in carrying out, specified crimes (i.e., those designated as predicate offenses for ``federal crimes of terrorism'') or in preparation for, or in carrying out, the concealment or an escape from the commission of any such violation. The maximum term of imprisonment is 15 years. In contrast, a violation of the general harboring statute, 18 U.S.C. 1071, has a maximum term of imprisonment of 5 years. For consistency and proportionality, the proposed amendment not only makes the ``cap'' of level 20 inapplicable to harboring a person who is convicted under 18 U.S.C. 2339 or 2339A but also to the conduct of harboring an individual who commits a terrorism offense, i.e., one of the offenses listed in 18 U.S.C. 2339 or 2339A or an offense involving or intending to promote a federal crime of terrorism, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 2332b(g)(5). Proposed Amendment (Part IC): Section 2X3.1 is amended by striking subsection (a) and inserting the following: ``(a) Base Offense Level: (1) Six levels lower than the offense level for the underlying offense, except as provided in subdivisions (2) and (3). (2) The base offense level under this guideline shall be not less than level 4. (3)(A) The base offense level under this guideline shall be not more than level 30, except as provided in subdivision (B). (B) In any case in which the conduct is limited to harboring a fugitive, other than a case described in subdivision (C), the base offense level under this guideline shall not be more than level 20. (C) The limitation in subdivision (B) shall not apply in any case in which (i) the defendant is convicted under 18 U.S.C. 2339 or 2339A; or (ii) the conduct involved (I) harboring a person who committed any offense listed in 18 U.S.C. 2339 or 2339A or who committed any offense involving or intending to promote a federal crime of terrorism, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 2332b(g)(5); or (II) obstructing the investigation of, or committing perjury with respect to, any offense described in subdivision (I). In such a case, the base offense level under this guideline shall be not more than level 30, as provided in subdivision (A).''. Patriot Act Games. http://cryptome.org/ussc121802.txt
Corporate Colonization Strikes Native Resistance.
Nuxalk First Nation Attacks Corporate Fish Farm Corporate Media Report Wednesday, December 18, 2002 Natives, environmentalist and commercial fishermen stormed the construction site for an Atlantic salmon hatchery on B.C.'s (Canada) central coast and tore it apart yesterday. Native leaders likened introducing Atlantic salmon and parasites and diseases spread by fish farms to the arrival of the first traders who spread smallpox up and down the coast killing 90 per cent of the native people in some villages. Enough is enough, said Chief Nuximlayc of the Nuxalk First Nation of Bella Coola. It is like when smallpox came into the valley. It killed our people. Now they want to do the same to the salmon. The 60 protesters who arrived by boat from the neighboring communities tore open a gate to the Omega fish hatchery in Ocean Falls and ripped down the wooden forms for newly poured concrete. We don't want the fish hatchery. We don't want the fish farms. We mean it, said Clement Lam 35, of the Forest Action Network, who was arrested for ripping down the form. Our ultimate goal is drive all the fish farms out of the British Columbia coast. The 20 fish farms operating in the Broughton Archipelago near Alert Bay are being blamed for destroying the pink salmon runs in the area. Fewer than 150,000 of the more than 3.6 million pink salmon that were expected actually returned this year. A scientific study of the disaster suggests the juvenile salmon were killed off by bloodsucking sea lice they picked up on the way past the salmon farms. Natives raised the alarm even before the fish failed to return. Fishermen were finding young pink salmon covered in the parasites near the fish farms and last month demanded the shutdown of all the fish farms in the area -- to no avail. The B.C. Salmon Farmers' Association said it would cooperate with a scientific study into the problem. The association would not comment on yesterday's protest and Omega officials could not be reached.

Native Youth Movement Members Sentenced to Prison for Defending Sacred Mountains NATIVE YOUTH MOVEMENT Secwepemc Chapter Secwepemcul'ucw (British Columbia, Canada NATIVE YOUTH MOVEMENT MEMBERS SENT TO PRISON FOR DEFENDING SACRED MOUNTAINS (Secwepemc Territory/ Kamloops Provincial Courts/ December 17, 2002) NYM is outraged with the sentences handed down today to four Native Youth Movement members involved in defending Skwelkwek'welt from the Sun Peaks Resort expansion. Judge Sanduh has definitely sent us a clear message that if you stand up for your rights you will face arrest, jail time and banishment from your homeland. The four were sentenced to: 90 days incarceration a Victim surcharge of $200.00, a Probation Order of 18 months with the conditions: - not to wear or possess any camouflage or military style clothing or fatigues. - not to wear or possess any mask, disguise, facial covering or facial paint unless you have the prior written permission of your probation officer for bona fide medical, health, or spiritual purposes. - not to be within a 10 km radius of the administrative offices of the Sun Peaks Resort. - not block or impede any traffic or pedestrians on any public road, highway or public place. Trevor Dennis, Marcus Sauls, Rose Jack and Rod Anderson were immediately taken from the courtroom by sheriffs to jail, but were released later today when the four were granted a stay of their sentence until their appeal is heard in March of 2003. Last month the four NYM warriors were found guilty of mischief and intimidation for blocking a highway and a Sun Peaks excavator. Native Youth Movement member, Trevor Dennis responded to the sentence by saying, I'm upset with the sentence, but it feels good we have not lost. We still maintain 100% authority and jurisdiction over all our Secwepemc land. We stood on the side of right and we still stand on the side of right and that's what counts. We are committed and dedicated in the defense of our homeland and nothing will change that. Our next moves will come in the form of coordinated actions with various support groups to inform the unaware public, tourists and investors about the government and Sun Peaks' collaboration to dislocate us from our homeland.

Ex-IT worker charged with sabotage By Robert Lemos Staff Writer, CNET News.com December 18, 2002, 2:54 PM PT A former system administrator for UBS PaineWebber was arraigned in a New Jersey federal court Tuesday on charges of sabotaging two-thirds of the company's computer systems in an attempt to crash its stock price. A two-count indictment charged 60-year-old Roger Duronio with being behind the more than $3 million in damage caused when malicious programs placed on some 1,000 of UBS PaineWebber's nearly 1,500 computers became active on March 4 and deleted files. The indictment alleges that the Bogota, N.J., resident, who had left UBS PaineWebber 10 days before the deletion of the files, would have profited if the company's stock had fallen as a result of the attack. Cybercrime against financial institutions is a significant issue, District Attorney Christopher J. Christie said in a statement. Although the damage was contained in this case, the potential for catastrophic damage in other cases is always there. Duronio posted a $1 million bond on Tuesday for his release, according to a representative of the U.S Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey, the office prosecuting the case. Duronio's defense attorney, Justin Walder, could not be immediately reached for comment. In a seven-page indictment, a federal grand jury charged Duronio with one count of securities fraud and one count of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The indictment alleges that in his role as a system administrator for UBS PaineWebber, Duronio used the company's secure network to plant logic bombs--destructive computer programs that are set to trigger at a specific time or as the result of a specific action--in nearly 1,000 of the company's approximately 1,500 networked computers located in 370 branch offices. The malicious program had instructions to delete all the files stored on the systems at 9:30 a.m. on every Monday in March, April and May of 2002. Duronio had left the company on Feb. 22, 10 days before the first trigger date. He had allegedly complained repeatedly about his salary and bonuses from the company. Around the same time, Duronio purchased options to sell 31,800 shares of UBS stock at an average strike price of $42.91. Such options make money only if the stock price falls below the purchase price before the options expire. The indictment alleges that the former system administrator believed that crashing the company's systems would cause its stock price to plummet before his options expired on March 15. News.com Special Report Vision Series 3 20 minds on tech's future The alleged plan in some ways resembles the Emulex fraud incident that caused that company's stock to fall by more than 50 percent. Logic bombs have in the past been used by irate employees against their employers. In February, Timothy Allen Lloyd was sentence to 41 months in prison for leaving behind malicious programs that deleted critical data from the servers of high-tech measurement company Omega Engineering. Prosecutors in the case said the attack cost the company $10 million. Insider attacks are generally considered the most costly for companies. The attack allegedly carried out by Duronio failed to have the desired effect, however. The attack was not made public at the time, and UBS's stock didn't fall below $45 in March 2002. On Wednesday, the stock stood at $49.34. If found guilty, Duronio could serve as much as 20 years in prison and be subject to fines of more than $1.25 million. Representatives of UBS PaineWebber could not be reached for comment. http://news.com.com/2100-1001-978386.html?tag=fd_top UBS AG is a leading global financial services firm with 71,000 employees worldwide, providing a wide range of services to a client base that includes affluent individuals, corporations, institutions and governments.

SUN,master parasites for the GOLDEN millennium.
From a base ripping off Stanford to this...shoehorning Linux into thin clients for fat markups on high margins.Crips to MS Bloods. Cost has always been the main argument for thin-client computing--is it harder to make that case now that Wal-Mart is selling $200 Linux PCs? Not at all. I think the more of those that are sold to consumers, the better it is for everyone in the non-Microsoft camp. It's all Linux-based, just like our platform. Having different companies address different market segments is a good thing. I applaud Michael (Robertson) at Lindows for trying to tackle the consumer space. But I don't see major enterprises buying their systems from Wal-Mart. They want an end-to-end solution, they want 24-7 help, they want on-site service. How central is Java to Madhatter? We think Java will become a much more dominant programming platform. Enterprises want the ability to run multiplatform applications, and the only way to create those is in Java. The ability to leverage different computing platforms, even different Linux flavors, is very important. The value proposition we're adding is taking all these layers of software and really integrating it well into a full system. We've seen in the marketplace other attempts at Linux desktops...basically what they've done is take a lot of open-source software, throw it on a CD and expect it to be a complete desktop. What we've been trying to do is look at all the things required for a complete desktop, and Java is a big part of filling in those gaps. Will Madhatter use the standard Gnome Linux interface, or will you come up with your own? CIOs let us know they really don't want to spend a lot of money to retrain employees. That means we have to provide a user interface already familiar to them, which means staying close to a Windows look and feel. That doesn't mean everything is identical, but things should be familiar, so nobody has to spend time relearning the system. StarOffice just claimed its first victory with a major PC maker. Where do you see the major opportunities for StarOffice? Is it retail, OEM or enterprise customers? We've had a lot of success at retail...What we've focused our energies on recently is to work with OEMs and Linux distribution companies. We're bundled with Linux as far away as China, with its Red Flag software. Distribution to me is really critical. I think the combination of StarOffice and OpenOffice (the free, open-source version of the software) is just a great one-two punch. We've also focused on hardware OEMs--that's sort of our next venue. We made our first announcement with Sony, and there's more to come. We also think there are opportunities in the service provider space. The big thing is that having the compatibility with Office creates a whole wealth of opportunities. StarOffice had a lot of popularity first on Windows. But once enterprises evaluate software alternatives, one of the first things they want is to not have to pay for a Windows license. What we're providing is a way for enterprises to move off the entire Windows platform. You've talked a lot about Microsoft, but isn't Corel's WordPerfect the main competition for StarOffice? No, I never view Corel as the competition, because its market share is pretty low. And we've been working with Corel in OASIS (a trade group formulating an open, XML-based format for office documents). I don't view it really as competition. I view it as an alternative to Microsoft, and the more of that that happens, the better it is for everyone else. Has the settlement of the Microsoft antitrust case helped promote interest in software alternatives? I'm not sure if it was the antitrust case. I think it's more Microsoft licensing policies of late. That and the economic situation. In the good times, nobody really cared about the expense of desktops, the expense of manageability, the cost of applying patch after patch. We're in a different world now, where every penny counts for CIOs. I think that's probably more what's opened up the industry. It's more about security, cost and open standards. What are your goals for StarOffice as far as market penetration? Distribution to me is really critical. I think the combination of StarOffice and OpenOffice (the free, open-source version of the software) is just a great one-two punch. You have an open version for people to try, and that opens up the market that much more. And when they decide they need the support and other resources we offer, StarOffice is there. We've already had 10 million downloads of OpenOffice, and I think it's going to keep growing. From my perspective, every version of OpenOffice used and every version of StarOffice sold is one less user for Microsoft Office. Some of the analysts have predicted we'll be at 10 percent (of the office suite market) in 2004. That would be nice. And I think there's room for growth beyond that. But I'm still being pragmatic. I
Huntingdon Life Sciences.A DOG of a Stock.DUMP HLS.
For Immediate Release December 18, 2002 Attention: News Desk World's Largest Insurance Broker Abandons Dying Laboratory: Activists Declare Victory (Worldwide) Animal rights activists are celebrating their second major victory in less than a year with today's announcement that Marsh Inc., the world's largest insurance company, will no longer provide insurance for Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). Activists have campaigned against Marsh since February. Property attacks against Marsh increased in the face of mounting injunctions limiting aboveground protests. The credit for this victory lies equally with those who smashed windows as those held vocal protests outside Marsh offices and homes of executives, states UK Animal Liberation Front Press Officer Robin Webb. Mr. Webb is currently in the U.S. and available for comment at 732.545.7560. The UK Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) announced it will take over the insurance brokerage for the controversial lab. In a similar move last year, the Bank of England stepped in to provide Huntingdon with banking facilities, as no commercial bank would offer the lab a bank account HLS was unable to write checks to make bill payments. Providing government facilities to a private business is an unprecedented move, prompted only because no commercial business will align itself with Huntingdon. After less than a year of campaigning, activists drove Stephens Inc., at the time HLS's largest investor and primary financier, to sell all its shares in the lab and relieve itself of a $33 million loan the company had previously extended to HLS saving the lab from foreclosure January 29, 2001. On January 8, 2002, Stephens, the Nation's largest investment firm off-Wall St., announced it would sever all ties to HLS. As a result of the campaign, Marsh has sued dozens of activists and animal rights groups in up to five U.S. cities, and dozens more have faced criminal charges as a result of the campaign against Marsh worldwide. Three activists are currently imprisoned in New York for property destruction at the homes of Marsh directors. Marsh threw everything they could at the animal rights movement, attempting to deter protests, only to fail miserably, states activist Dave Elliot. No lawsuit, private investigator, or criminal prosecution prevented this victory. Until HLS is closed we will not apologize, we will not compromise, and we will not relent. Activists have now turned their attention to HLS's executive infrastructure, targeting the directors of the lab and their business affiliates. They vow to use the same strategy and tactics that have yielded victory twice before. See the direct action tactics that caused Marsh to drop HLS at http://www.shac.net/ARCHIVES/2002/12/18b.html Other activists may want to adopt these types of tactics.

Abortion probe's star witness dies By GEOFF WILKINSON 20dec02 THE woman at the centre of Victoria's notorious abortion inquiry has died - 35 years after being told she had only 18 months to live. Margaret Peggy Berman played a leading role in the 1970 Kaye inquiry into police protection of illegal abortionists. Mrs Berman alleged corrupt police had been involved in an abortion protection racket for more than 14 years and gave evidence against four former homicide squad detectives tried for conspiracy to obstruct justice. Mrs Berman, who worked as a receptionist at an East Melbourne abortion clinic, said she paid two high-ranking police officers pound stg. 300 ($600) a month for six years on behalf of the doctors who employed her. Superintendent John Edward Jack Matthews and Inspector Jack Ralph Ford, both former heads of the homicide squad, were jailed for five years with a minimum of three years and served 28 months. Former Constable Martin Robert Jacobson was also jailed for conspiracy and served 13 months. Former Station Officer Frederick John Adam was acquitted. Ten more serving and former police were cleared of allegations made at the inquiry. In 1973, Mrs Berman and journalist Kevin Childs wrote Why Isn't She Dead!, a book about the scandal that rocked the Victoria Police. Mrs Berman had had a breast removed after developing cancer in 1965, and later suffered secondary cancers in the spine. A specialist told a County Court hearing in 1970 that she had already survived longer than was expected. She died two weeks ago of a heart attack, aged 79. Her son Peter, a Melbourne barrister, said yesterday that his mother's recovery from cancer had been remarkable. I've seen the radia tion scars on her back, both sides of the spine. It was just extraordinary that she beat it. She had a lot of guts, he said. William Kaye, QC, who conducted the inquiry, found criminal abortions had been performed in Melbourne for years only because of police co-operation. Mr Kaye, later a Supreme Court judge, described Mrs Berman in his 1971 report to Parliament as a dominant figure in corrupt practices with police officers. The Kaye report said Mrs Berman had given evidence that police had made demands of eight doctors other than the three who employed her. Crown prosecutor Norman O'Bryan told the jury at the conspiracy trial that corrupt police had preyed on Mrs Berman for years. Mr O'Bryan, who also later became a Supreme Court judge, said that though Mrs Berman was no paragon of virtue she had shown in giving evidence the virtue of trying to tell the truth -- unlike the accused men. Mrs Berman, who was released on a bond when she pleaded guilty to an abortion charge in 1970, was indemnified against prosecution. She told the court she had had a sexual relationship with Ford for six years in the 1960s and that he had beaten her frequently while he was head of the homicide squad. She said that as well as his $600 a month retainer fee from her employers, she had paid him $200 a month of her own money for two or three years to settle his gambling debts. Mrs Berman is survived by her son and two grandsons. http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,5709721%255E2862,00.html

Hundreds of Muslim Immigrants Rounded Up in Calif.
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2cid=564u=/nm/20021219/ts_nm/attack_immigration_dc_3 Reuters Yahoo! News Thu, Dec 19, 2002 Hundreds of Muslim Immigrants Rounded Up in Calif. Wed Dec 18, 8:47 PM ET By Jill Serjeant LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hundreds of Iranian and other Middle East citizens were in southern California jails on Wednesday after coming forward to comply with a new rule to register with immigration authorities only to wind up handcuffed and behind bars. Shocked and frustrated Islamic and immigrant groups estimate that more than 500 people have been arrested in Los Angeles, neighboring Orange County and San Diego in the past three days under a new nationwide anti-terrorism program. Some unconfirmed reports put the figure as high as 1,000. The arrests sparked a demonstration by hundreds of Iranians outside a Los Angeles immigration office. The protesters carried banners saying What's next? Concentration camps? and What happened to liberty and justice?. A spokesman for the Immigration and Naturalization Service said no numbers of people arrested would be made public. A Justice Department (news - web sites) spokesman could not be reached for comment. The head of the southern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (news - web sites) compared the arrests to the internment of Japanese Americans in camps during the Second World War. I think it is shocking what is happening. It is reminiscent of what happened in the past with the internment of Japanese Americans. We are getting a lot of telephone calls from people. We are hearing that people went down wanting to cooperate and then they were detained, said Ramona Ripston, the ACLU's executive director. JAILS OVERFLOWING One activist said local jails were so overcrowded that the immigrants could be sent to Arizona, where they could face weeks or months in prisons awaiting hearings before immigration judges or deportation. It is a shock. You don't expect this to happen. It is really putting fright and apprehension in the community. People who come from these countries -- this is what they expect from their government. Not from America, said Sabiha Khan of the Southern California chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations. The arrests were part of a post Sept. 11 program that requires all males over 16 from a list of 20 Arab or Middle East countries, who do not have permanent resident status in the United States, to register with U.S. immigration authorities. Monday was the deadline for men from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Sudan. News of the mass arrests came first in southern California, which is home to more than 600,000 Iranian exiles and their families. Officials declined to give figures for those arrested or for the numbers of people who turned up to register, be fingerprinted and have their photographs taken. We are not releasing any numbers, said Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) spokesman Francisco Arcaute. CALLS FOR HELP Islamic groups and the local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said they had been swamped with calls for help. INS spokesman Arcaute said those arrested had violated immigration laws, overstayed their visas, or were wanted for crimes. The program was prompted by concern about the lack of records on tourists, students and other visitors to the United States after the Sept. 11 hijack plane attacks on New York and Washington. Islamic community leaders said many of the detainees had been living, working and paying taxes in the United States for five or 10 years, and had families here. Terrorists most likely wouldn't come to the INS to register. It is really a bad way to go about it. They are being treated as criminals and that really goes against American ideals of fairness, and justice and democracy, Khan said. The Iranian protesters said many of those detained were victims of official delays in processing visa and green card requests. My father, they just took him in, one young man told reporters. They've been treating him like an animal. They put him in a room with, like, 50 other people and no bed or anything. Khan said one of those in jail was a doctor, who was being sponsored for U.S. citizenship when his sponsor died. One Syrian man said he went to register in Orange County with a dozen friends. He was the only one to come out of the INS office. All my friends are inside right now, M.M. Trapici, 45, told reporters. I have to visit the family for each one today. Most of them have small kids. -- - R. A.

Que Se Vayan Todos Indyradio. December 19 and 20 mark the anniversary of the popular rebellion in Argentina ousting former President Fernando De la Rua. Citizens will go to the streets under the slogan Que Se Vayan Todos, (to hell with all the politicians). Massive mobilizations will take place in Buenos Aires, throughout Argentina, and around the globe. Organizers of actions to commemorate the anniversary maintain that actions will be peaceful and non-violent. In the past weeks, mass media has been creating a climate of tension and fear in preparation for the protests. In the face of this atmosphere, piqueteros, popular assemblies, cacerolazos, alternative media, and human rights activists will reclaim the streets for two days of non-violent actions. The Argentina and Rosario IMCs will be providing extensive coverage of the actions as well as a live radio webcast (es). You can support this coverage by donating through paypal here.

In the world of academia, the University of Michigan recently joined the growing list of universities that have passed antiwar resolutions.

The process of education about war continues, with teach-ins gathering steam, ranging from North Carolina to Wisconsin to Idaho.

DEA data thief sentenced to 27 months By Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus Online Posted: 18/12/2002 at 10:38 GMT A 14-year veteran of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) who fled to Mexico to avoid federal computer crime charges was sentenced in a federal court in Los Angeles on Monday to 27 months in prison for selling information on private citizens he plundered from sensitive law enforcement databases. Emilio Calatayud, 36, admitted in a plea agreement last August to raiding a variety of systems to investigate claimants in over 100 workers compensation cases being handled by Triple Check Investigative Services for unnamed insurance carriers. Triple Check paid the former agent at least $22,500 for the data over a six year period ending in 1999, according to court records. The purloined data came from three law enforcement computers to which Calatayud had otherwise lawful access: the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC), which maintains nationwide records on arrest histories, convictions and warrants; the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS), a state network that gives agents access to California motor vehicle records, rap sheets and fingerprints; and a DEA system called the Narcotics and Dangerous Drug Information System (NADDIS), described by a Justice Department Web page as a database of over 3,500,000 individuals, businesses, vessels and selected airfields. Some privacy advocates have cited the Calatayud case to highlight the risks posed by the growing number of law enforcement databases housing information on individuals, and made widely accessible with minimal security. The prosecution was briefly derailed last February, when Calatayud skipped out on a $100,000 property bond on what was to have been his first day of trial. He fled to Mexico, where four months later he was picked up in Guadalajara by Mexican federal police acting on information developed by the United States Marshal's Service. Officials haven't revealed how Calatayud was tracked down, but as part of the plea deal they agreed not to prosecute the former fed for kiting checks through his Bank of America account while a fugitive. Prosecutors also dropped wire fraud and computer fraud charges in the agreement. Calatayud plead guilty to bribery, tax evasion and failing to appear in court. In addition to the jail time, federal judge William J. Rea ordered Calatayud to pay a $5,000 fine. ©SecurityFocus.com http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/28621.html
Patriot Act Revolt Spreads.
War on Terror Walkouts Oakland, Flagstaff City Councils to Vote on Opposition to Patriot Act Provisions By Dean Schabner Dec. 17 .Two more cities could join 18 other municipalities around the country that have questioned whether the USA Patriot Act combats terror at the expense of Americans' constitutional rights. MORE ON THIS STORY RELATED STORIES Eight Cities in Patriot Act Revolt The city council of Oakland, Calif., is scheduled to vote today on a resolution that would order city employees not to cooperate with federal investigations that are felt to violate civil liberties. The city of Flagstaff, Ariz., also has a vote scheduled on a less harshly worded resolution that would be a statement by the city that it is concerned about potential violations of civil rights as a result of implementation of the USA Patriot Act, but stopping short of withdrawing the city's cooperation. If both resolutions pass, the two cities would become the 19th and 20th local governments to formalize their opposition to provisions of the USA Patriot Act. Supporters of the Oakland resolution, which include nearly two dozen organizations, say they expect the measure to pass. I think there is strong support, City Councilwoman Nancy Nadel said. We can't trade our civil liberties for security and still be fighting for the freedoms our country symbolizes. The Oakland draft resolution says in part that to the extent legally possible, no City employee or department shall officially assist or voluntarily cooperate with investigations, interrogations, or arrest procedures, public or clandestine, that are in violation of individuals' civil rights or civil liberties as specified in the above Amendments of the United States Constitution. It also says that the City of Oakland affirms its strong opposition to terrorism, but also affirms that any efforts to end terrorism not be waged at the expense of the fundamental civil rights and liberties of the people of Oakland, the United States and the World. The resolution originally put before the Flagstaff City Council was written in terms similar to the Oakland measure, but there has since been compromise to remove references to the police department and soften the criticism of the federal government, Flagstaff Mayor Joe Donaldson said. We wanted it to be a citizens' reminder to the government that we're concerned about terror acts and at the same time we're concerned about civil liberties, Donaldson said. Other Cities Considering Patriot Measures Similar resolutions have already passed in 18 other communities, including Berkeley, Santa Cruz and Sebastopol, Calif.; Denver and Boulder, Colo.; four cities in Massachusetts; Ann Arbor, Mich.; Santa Fe, N.M.; Eugene, Ore.; Burlington, Vt.; and Madison, Wis. There are efforts under way to rally support for such resolutions in dozens of other cities, including New York, Chicago, Miami, Seattle, Boston and Portland, Ore., according to the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, a Florence, Mass.-based organization that supports repeal of parts of the USA PATRIOT Act and Executive Orders that infringe on Constitutional rights. There are votes on similar resolutions scheduled for January and February in Davis and Fairfax, Calif., and New Paltz, N.Y. The USA Patriot Act was passed by overwhelming margins in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, but Nadel said she finds it hard to believe that legislators read it very carefully, because of what civil libertarians and constitutional rights groups say are the many areas where the law oversteps the bounds of proper law enforcement procedure. Opponents of such measures say that the events of Sept. 11, 2001, are proof of the need for extraordinary measures to protect the country from terrorists. What Cost Freedom? Giving up civil liberties is no way to fight that fight, Nadel said. It is not a small price to pay, she said. Our country was based on civil liberties. Some of these governments like the Taliban that we fought to put out of power had restrictions on what people read. If that's what we're trying to eradicate around the world, I don't think it's something we should be adopting here. The U.S. attorney's office in San Francisco . the local arm of the Justice Department, which overseas federal investigations .declined to comment on the resolution that was up for a vote in Oakland. Among the areas that Nadel said especially concern her in the Patriot Act are increasing the FBI's power to spy on Americans' e-mail and telephone conversations, allowing ethnic profiling, denying the right to attorney to some detainees . which she said is one of the most heinous aspects of the law . and allowing law enforcement access to records of the books people take out of the library. The city's Public Library Commission has already passed a resolution opposing the Patriot Act. Though the resolution's sponsors said it has strong support on the
CARLO Software.
Sorry,' GENOA'. The New PROMIS? Pentagon delivers software to assess data on terrorists By Rowan Scarborough THE WASHINGTON TIMES The Pentagon's Total Information Awareness program, derided as Big Brother by privacy advocates, has handed off its first technologies to government agencies, which are using the software to assess intelligence on terrorists. Pentagon officials say the software tools, named Genoa, let agencies better compare and exchange interpretations of a vast amount of data legally available to such terrorist-tracking agencies as the FBI and CIA. TIA's most contested work, a computer program designed to track everyday transactions, is still in the experimental stage, officials said. We're pleased, said Jan Walker, spokeswoman for the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), when asked how its technologies were performing in actual operations. As a piece of technology becomes mature enough, and if we can take a prototype and integrate it, we will do that, she said. We will be doing this over the course of the next five years. The TIA has come under severe attack in recent weeks from some press outlets and lawmakers who say it will be used to snoop on innocent citizens. TIA advocates say methods outside traditional criminal justice procedures are needed to foil terrorists bent on mass murder. They also say privacy safeguards are planned. The TIA would seek to create a massive database of billions of transactions some public, some private. It would attempt to identify whether terrorists leave telltale transaction fingerprints while planning attacks. If so, TIA would find the fingerprints and alert law-enforcement agencies and the military. If terrorist organizations are going to plan and execute attacks against the United States, their people must engage in transactions and they will leave signatures in this information space, retired Vice Adm. John Poindexter, TIA's program director, said in a speech in the fall. Total Information Awareness is our answer. We must be able to detect, classify, identify and track terrorists so that we may understand their plans and act to prevent them from being executed, he said. The software tools handed over to government agencies in recent months are the first of several TIA components. The formal name for the new software is Genoa. Compared with other TIA programs, it is considered by privacy advocates and civil libertarians to be perhaps the most benign. Genoa, on which Adm. Poindexter worked in the private sector before joining DARPA in January, is designed to enhance the sharing and analysis of data legally available to government agencies, Ms. Walker says. In his speech, Adm. Poindexter said that Genoa provides tools for collaborative reasoning, estimating plausible futures and creating actionable options for the decision maker. The tougher road for TIA comes when, or if, Adm. Poindexter's program managers can produce the crown jewel a supercomputer system that can mine data for telltale terrorist imprints among billions of commercial and government transactions. If Adm. Poindexter's theory proves to be correct, the Bush administration will face a big hurdle. Many of these transactions remain off-limits to law-enforcement investigators absent a court-authorized subpoena. Administration officials acknowledged in interviews that they would have to ask Congress to ease such rules and convince lawmakers that safeguards existed to protect law-abiding citizens. DARPA is often on the leading edge of technologies that help the military fight smarter. Some ideas, such as the agency's work to develop the World Wide Web, revolutionized the way people work. TIA is an umbrella for programs with such acronyms as TIDES, EARS and GENISYS that could revolutionize the hunt for Osama bin Laden's terrorists. The investigation into the September 11 attacks showed that the 19 hijackers involved made scores of credit card, travel and passport transactions as they entered and left the country, and received money to finance the deadly acts. Adm. Poindexter's vision is a software detection system that could have spotted those pre-September 11 movements as terrorist fingerprints. We must become much more efficient and more clever in the ways we find new sources of data, mine information from the new and old, generate information, make it available for analysis, convert it to knowledge, and create actionable options, he said in a recent speech. Meanwhile, DARPA is getting both encouragement and flack from Capitol Hill. Adm. Poindexter, a figure in the Iran-Contra scandal, briefed the House and Senate armed services committees, which funded TIA in the 2003 defense budget. The House's defense bill lauded one part of TIA, the Genoa collaborative assessment. The Big Brother analogy is being used
All Cretans are Liars?
US Dept of Untruth prospers - Rumsfeld By Andrew Orlowski in San Francisco Posted: 18/12/2002 at 21:13 GMT Earlier this year, the US administration floated the idea of an Office of Strategic Influence, a propaganda ministry whose job it would be to plant false stories in the press, home and abroad. Thanks to several beautiful constitutional instruments, the United States frowns on such taxpayer sponsored boondoggles, and this was the first time the American government had proposed a department to lie on its citizens behalf. The outcry was swift and enormous: government is a duty that should be lightly held, with interference kept to a minimum, and career bureaucrats such as Rumsfeld ought not feather their terms of office by creating such ominous and deceptive institutions. Well, OK, he replied, and the idea was swiftly forgotten. And there it lay, until some pesky reporter from the Federation of American Scientists temporarily lapsed from his patriotic duty of warblogging, and asked if the organization really existed? This provoked an astonishing reply:- And then there was the Office of Strategic Influence. You may recall that. And 'oh my goodness gracious isn't that terrible, Henny Penny the sky is going to fall.' I went down that next day and said fine, if you want to savage this thing, fine, I'll give you the corpse. There's the name. You can have the name, but I'm gonna keep doing every single thing that needs to be done and I have. His comments went unreported, and until Monday, when the New York Times provided specifics of the vigorous and creative propaganda we can expect [here], the disinformation project had gone ignored. (A search through Google News reveals only one article mentioning the subject.) Britain has no such constitutional protections. In the 1980s, it was enthusiastically arming the Iraqi regime while telling parliament and the public that no policy change had taken place, and two prime ministers - each claiming amnesia or ignorance - were absolved of responsibility in the resulting scandal. Thanks to the excellent web weekly WW3 Report for spotting this, and posing the following question:- This raises the logical dilemma of whether an agency which admits to lying can be believed when it says it doesn't exist. Is the agency's supposed non-existence the first piece of disinformation? ® http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/28/28631.html

Shot For Laughing At Police
Unit 5: Community Protests Shooting By Police Witnesses Claim Man Was Shot For Laughing At Police POSTED: 5:05 p.m. CST December 11, 2002 UPDATED: 6:46 p.m. CST December 11, 2002 CHICAGO -- A southwest side community plans to take action after a young man was shot by a Chicago police officer. The officer clamed the shooting was in self defense, but the victim's mother told Unit 5's Renee Ferguson that her son was shot because he laughed at the police. Crispus Booker (pictured, right) is no angel, Ferguson reported. He's done six months in jail on a drug charge and lives in a tough, drug-infested neighborhood. But, according to his attorney, Booker was shot by police recently not because he was seen selling drugs, but because he dared to laugh at a couple of cops. The so-called joke ended with the 26-year-old Booker being taken away in an ambulance, having been shot by a Chicago police officer. He has a hole in his liver, his lung collapsed on him and he's got the bullet in him next to his spine, Martha Booker (pictured, below left), the victim's mother, told Unit 5. That was on Nov. 19. Eyewitnesses told Unit 5 that Booker was on his porch at 68th Street and South Talman Avenue watching as two uniformed officers chased a suspect on a bicycle. When the officers gave up the chase, Booker reportedly laughed out loud. Ferguson said that that's when, according to witnesses, the officers went after Booker. At first, they just started hitting him and he pushed them and ran, Martha Booker said. After shots were fired, Booker's mother said she arrived to find her son on the ground. I asked the officer, 'Why did you shoot my son?' and he said, Because he shot at me.' But Booker's attorney, James Montgomery, said there was no gunpowder residue on Booker's hands and no evidence he had a gun. Witnesses saw this thing from the beginning to the end and it's very clear that it was an unprovoked attack and a shooting that was not justified, Montgomery said. Police spokesman Pat Camden said the officer shot Booker because Booker tried to take his gun and that the officer was in fear for his life. He said two guns were found in the neighborhood. Since the shooting, area residents say they have passed out fliers for a community meeting to be held Wednesday night at the Marquette Park field house. The community is outraged and everybody is mad. We're trying to take action with the police department to see what can be done about this, area resident Lashawn Greer told NBC5. Booker went from the hospital to jail where he now sits, charged with aggravated battery, possession of a weapon and attempting to disarm a police officer. He laughed at the police, said Booker's mother. This could happen to anybody and it's wrong. It's really wrong. http://www.nbc5.com/unit5investigates/1833300/detail.html
Student Uprisings against Big Brother?
Colleges become Big Brother in file-sharing crackdown As the recording industry pressures college officials to clamp down on music downloads from the Internet, privacy groups say campuses have to be careful not to invade students' privacy. Fox News Big brother on campus Private companies have not been the only players in TIA research. Dozens of universities within and without the United States have also worked on the programs components for years. Since late 2000, researchers at Georgia Tech have been working on a new computer-based identification system called Human ID that theoretically can take video images from a camera and distinguish people by the way that they walk and their different mannerisms. The applications of this software could have unlimited potential when used with satellite imaging, government video, and even security cameras. The theory is that each person has distinctive body movements and by recording and analyzing these movements, the government could identify suspects even if they are wearing disguises or have altered their appearances. According to unclassified budget documents recently released by the Defense Department, DARPA spent $11.8 million during the 2001 fiscal year to develop a pilot force protection system for Human ID as well as create prototype models and develop advanced sensors (p. 88.). DARPAs new budget increases the programs spending to $30.1 million during the next two fiscal years to identify the limitations of the range and accuracy of the program while fusing multi-modal technologies to derive biometric signatures. Overall, Georgia Tech has received four federal grants totaling $1.2 million for the HumanID from movement project, beginning in the last quarter of 2000. The funds are part of a $50 million DARPA program to identify people from a distance that encompasses 26 research projects including two from Georgia Tech to analyze movement. In addition to recognizing people by body movement, Human ID is working on facial recognition and iris recognition software. These uses have been tested on subjects at a distance of 25-150 feet, but future DARPA plans anticipate distances as far as 500 feet. I do computer vision research, said Aaron Bobick, an associate professor at Georgia Tech researching HumanID for DARPA. Part of it is to see how to get computers to see things. One of things that I am working on is understanding motion and recognizing people from a distance. Bobick told the Center that the research is still preliminary. Weve found it to be successful in a limited number of cases but gait recognition is really in its infancy. We dont know how successful it will be. We are still at the point where we dont know what will be possible. DARPA projects on identification go well beyond naked eye visual appearance. The defense agency is currently trying to identify potential suspects by their unseen traits using plumes of odorant molecules. While doing experiments on subjects as small as moths, bacteria and mammals, scientists are finding new ways of differentiating small particles to understand identity. DARPA has spent more than $427,000 on four grants to the University of Arizona dating back to 1998 to study this identification method called biologically-inspired search algorithms for locating unseen odor sources. Like gait recognition, the smell test is still in development. Research associate Ben Coates, database editor Aron Pilhofer, and executive director Charles Lewis contributed to this report.

Probe faults Cold War activities of Swedish secret service Tuesday, 17-Dec-2002 10:20AM Story from AFP Copyright 2002 by Agence France-Presse (via ClariNet) STOCKHOLM, Dec 17 (AFP) - Sweden's secret services violated constitutional rights as they spied on leftist groups -- and some 100,000 individuals -- during the anti-communist period of the Cold War, an investigating commission found in a report published Tuesday. The 3,000-page report entitled National Security and Personal Integrity lists wire-tapping operations, documentation and surveillance of Swedish organisations and political groups constituting a threat, or believed to constitute a threat, to national security. The activities mostly took place during the 1950s and 1960s, when anti-Communism was at its peak in Western Europe and the United States. During that period, the secret services had files on more than 100,000 individuals, believed to be communists or communist sympathisers, at times on flimsy grounds, the report found. Wire-tapping, in particular, was used indiscriminately, and often targeted individuals other than the object of suspicion and thus violated their personal integrity. The registration of political opinions was made illegal in 1969, but the practice has continued, mostly because it suited police chiefs and the governments of the day, the report claims. Official guidelines were often written in a manner that could be interpreted in several ways. In this way it became possible to both satisfy political opinion and at the same time provide the Security Police with the authority deemed necessary in light of national security, the report said in its conclusion. The Swedish judiciary has in recent years awarded compensation to several people who were sacked from their jobs after the secret police (Saepo) handed evidence on their political or trade union activities to their employers. gab/liu/jh/ds Sweden-police Latvian Defense Minister: Many Members of Latvian Parliament Are Moscow's Spies One fifth of deputies of the Latvian Sejm work for Moscow and it is not possible to trust them with secret information.( Pravda, 19 Dec 02)

Theodore Shackley CIA mastermind of dirty tricks in Cuba, Chile and Vietnam Harold Jackson Wednesday December 18, 2002 The Guardian For the second time this year, conspiracy theorists have lost one of their favourite CIA targets. Ted Shackley, once in charge of the organisation's clandestine operations, has died at the age of 75. In the international demonology of espionage, he figured second only to General Vernon Walters, America's ubiquitous spy-for-all-seasons (obituary, February 18). Unlike the affable general, Shackley was far from popular with his colleagues. Though they rated him businesslike and efficient, he was also described as cold and weird. His nickname, the Blond Ghost, carried no overtones of affection, and he eventually left the agency under a cloud in 1979; it remained unclear whether he resigned or was sacked. Shackley's introduction to the intelligence world came in 1945 after the US army discovered he was fluent in Polish (an inheritance from his immigrant grandmother). As the cold war stirred into life, he was assigned to the counter-intelligence corps in Germany, first in Nuremberg and later in Berlin. On demobilisation, he planned to study law, but was recruited by the newly formed CIA in 1951. The details are inevitably shadowy, but he seems to have emerged as an effective, self-promoting organisation man, a dab hand with flow charts and paperwork. Within a decade, he had become station chief in Miami, running one of the CIA's largest operations, focusing mainly on Fidel Castro. Much of his effort went into sending sabotage teams into Cuba and trying to build a network of local spies. Neither had much impact, but subsequent freelance activities by some of his recruits brought the first rumours of Shackley's involvement in drug trafficking. These grew stronger when he was transferred to Laos in 1966, and began recruiting Hmong tribesmen to attack North Vietnamese supply convoys on the Ho Chi Minh trail. In the complex political manoeuvring between local warlords, the Laotians' usual currency was heroin, later alleged to be the principal source of the drugs used by America's demoralised troops in Vietnam. When the Laotian operation was abandoned by the Johnson administration (with 20,000 Hmong recruits killed and many more forced into exile), Shackley was transferred to Saigon. After the CIA's disastrous failure to detect the North Vietnamese build-up for the 1968 Tet offensive, he laid great emphasis on intelligence gathering. His subordinates, however, complained that he always wanted their reports to have a positive tone, a requirement that probably contributed to the Nixon administration's later misjudgment of the military situation. In 1972, Shackley returned to Washington to run the CIA's western hemisphere division, responsible for activities in central and south America. He played a major role in the campaign against the Allende government in Chile, and in the September 1973 military coup which brought General Pinochet to power. That success brought Shackley promotion to associate deputy director for operations, the CIA's third most senior post. But his accession came just as the storm clouds were gathering in Washington, and the senate intelligence committee wanted to know just what the agency had been up to in Chile - and in the Watergate scandal. The committee's report, listing dozens of illegal activities, was a bombshell. The newly-elected President Carter put Admiral Stansfield Turner in charge of the CIA, with instructions to clean it up. Many of those involved in clandestine operations were sacked, and Shackley was sidelined, at least until it emerged he was a close associate of Edwin Wilson, a former spy eventually jailed for arranging illegal arms sales. Shackley left the CIA in 1979 to run his own consulting firm, from where he continued to associate with old colleagues in the arms trade. Some were later jailed for their part in the Iran-Contra scandal, but no charges were laid against Shackley. His associates were also questioned by a senate sub-committee about involvement in the drug-trafficking activities of the Contra rebels. Once again, nothing was clearly established, though one of the central figures was named as a drug trafficker by the Costa Rican government, and was summarily expelled from the country. Shackley is survived by his wife Hazel, and their daughter. · Theodore G 'Ted' Shackley, intelligence agent, born July 16 1927; died December 9 2002

Speculation: I expect the battles over cyberspace to shift to the OS, with the leading private (non open source) OS makers enlisted in the War Against Illegal Thoughts. The easiest initial front in this war, one the OS companies like Apple and Microsoft have a corporate interest in, is for the OS to more aggressively check for hacks or products not All one has to do is to refuse to upgrade. Unless you get over the upgrade hype there is no cure - it's unlikely that home-manufactured computers for the masses will be a reality any time soon. The short life span of hw/sw platforms gives tremenduous power to mass manufacturers. It becomes like food industry. Only this one is not base on need for carbohydrates and proteins (and fat, of course), but on manufactured hype about value of new vs. old. Most of the stuff (except games) works perfectly functionally today in hw/sw combinations from 1997. E-mail, http clients, ftp, usenet, graphic design/DTP, wordprocessors. This is not a long-term solution, but it's the best there is.

Using Brin to thwart ISP subpoenas
This crackpot idea is a follow-on to my suggestion for improving public library privacy in the face of TLA inquiries. The basic notion here is for na ISP to allow all its premises to be bugged. Every room (except maybe the restroom) by its clients (or their proxies). All communication could be monitored and the ISP would have no control. My understanding of court orders that they must be served on the ISP at its business address. Once the order is opened or discussed by the designated employee who receives the data all its clients would know in short order. The employees and management will not have been responsible because they have not taken any affirmative actions to allow the information to escape their custody. They will have protected the info withe the same diligence they show their own data. ;-) steve If you can't join 'em, beat 'em. -- W's global policy of hegenomy

Objectivists having orgasms over Israel because it is supposedly a liberal democracy is rather like communists having orgasms over Cuba because it was supposedly egalitarian. It is also entertaining that the socialism of Israel is, like the socialism of the Sandinistas, a lot more socialist for ethnic groups that are hated than ethnic groups that are favored, which reminds me of the argument I sometimes hear from socialists about West Germany -- that all Germans were evil hateful nazi murderers, and therefore should have had a socialist economy imposed on them. But I ramble and digress. To get back on point, if those who purport to be objectivists are also militant zionist interventionists, we should not take their supposed objectivist ideals too seriously. --digsig James A.

"The continuous and complex legislation by the Department of Labor, IRS, State and Local Government combined with the escalating costs of benefits and quality healthcare create a fertile environment for organic growth in the small and medium size company market. We intend to capitalize on this business climate by aggressively marketing our services to this underserved market", explained Stephen Farkas, CEO.

Intern News Roundup.
LOS ANGELES: JUSTICE FOR ALL? Dec 19 2002 INS Interns Hundreds, Refuses to Report For their cooperation in an INS voluntary registration program, an unspecified number of Iranian and Middle Eastern nationals, estimated in the hundreds, have been detained indefinitely, cut off from family and legal assistance. Officials are refusing to report the identities or individual charges against those detained while LA area jails are overflowing. The Southern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union received numerous phone calls for assistance from families of those detained, and many are comparing the arrests to the internment of Japanese Americans in camps during the Second World War. On Wednesday, December 18, more than three thousand persons, mostly Iranian Americans, rallied outside the Westwood Federal Building in LA to protest the roundups [ 1 ]. Meanwhile, solidarity protests are already planned, including one on Friday in Portland. The detentions are currently receiving little comparative attention in US dominant media, with original coverage limited to an article in the Los Angeles Times and a wire report [ audio ].

Undercover Punks and Anarchists.
COPENHAGEN -- Danish police opened an inquiry Thursday into a group of civilian police officers who infiltrated a protest march during last week's EU summit by going undercover as supporters of the Palestinian cause, punks and anarchists. Police chief Kaj Vittrup, in charge of police operations during the summit, said he was profoundly irritated to see images of police officers wearing masks and dressed as radical activists. The Danish Stop the Violence organisation filmed at least a dozen police officers with scarves hiding parts of their faces, wearing rings in their noses or with mohawk haircuts during an anti-European Union march on Saturday. The Stop the Violence footage showed the police officers, dressed to look like activists, participating in the protest. It argued that their appearance risked provoking other demonstrators to use violence. Anti-globalisation activists also complained that the police officers broke the law by wearing masks or other gear that covered their faces, while police arrested other demonstrators who committed the same offense. Protest organisers had reached a deal with Copenhagen police ahead of the summit, under which civilian police officers would only be called in if rioting broke out. Eight peaceful organisations were held during the Copenhagen summit, drawing a total of 15,000 people. The chairman of the Copenhagen police association Richard Andersen was quoted Thursday by Danish daily Politiken as saying he was stunned to see the police officers in disguise. I had a hard time believing it was my colleagues, he said. www.utopia2000.org

Weekend at Cheneys.
Residents say the blasts, which last three to five seconds each, have been going off two or three times a day, as early as 7 a.m. and as late as 11 p.m., for nearly two months. When a woman feared it was a bomb or an earthquake, she called the police. Booming work at Cheney's house stirs neighbors http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/349/nation/Booming_work_at_Cheney_s_house_stirs_neighbors+.shtml By David Nakamura, Washington Post, 12/15/2002 WASHINGTON - One man thought the noise was a sonic boom. Another guessed he was hearing rolling thunder. When a woman feared it was a bomb or an earthquake, she called the police. But they had no answers, either. No one in the Massachusetts Avenue Heights neighborhood of Northwest Washington knows what is going on at the house of their neighbor, the vice president of the United States. But one thing is certain: They're tired of the daily blasting at the US Naval Observatory that has shaken houses, rattled windows, and knocked mirrors off the walls. ''None of the neighbors object to any construction that is necessary in the Navy's view,'' said Nancy Nord, a community activist who lives on Observatory Circle. ''What we do object to is that there is no sense of the magnitude, no warning about something so intrusive to our lives, and no clear sense how long this is going to go or when it's going to stop.'' Residents say the blasts, which last three to five seconds each, have been going off two or three times a day, as early as 7 a.m. and as late as 11 p.m., for nearly two months. But neighbors have received so little information from government officials about the top-secret project that speculation is running wild. The leading theory: A security bunker is being built for Vice President Dick Cheney. The second most popular guess: The government is digging tunnels to spy on nearby embassies. In third place: A helicopter hangar is under construction. As the government roots out terrorists around the globe and gears up for a possible military confrontation with Iraq, nothing is out of the realm of possibility, neighbors say. ''After 9/11, when you hear a big blast for the first time, you wonder what is going on,'' said Iza Warner, who had a mirror fall off the wall of her home a few blocks away from the construction site. Warner called police after guests at a dinner party became frightened by the racket. ''One guest said, `Oh, my God, what is going on, an earthquake?''' Warner recalled. ''She said it sounded just awful. I called the police, and they looked around, but they couldn't tell us anything.'' So far, the federal government's only response to the residents has been a three-page letter that the observatory's superintendent, David W. Gillard, sent to the advisory neighborhood commissioner, Rosalyn P. Doggett, on Nov. 20. The blasting could last eight more months, Gillard said in the letter, but the Navy has attempted to limit noise by silencing backup alerts on trucks and removing most diesel-powered electric generators from the construction site. He did not disclose the nature of the project. ''Due to its sensitive nature in support of national security and homeland defense, project-specific information is classified and cannot be released,'' Gillard wrote. ''In addition, please understand we are severely constrained by operation requirements to perform this project on a highly accelerated schedule; therefore, it will not be possible to limit construction activities to the daytime, as you request.'' Doggett said the letter raised as many questions as it answered. ''I got back an information sheet that I thought was just not pertinent,'' she said. ''They do not have to tell us exactly what is happening, but they do need to minimize the impact.'' The matter has alarmed D.C. Council member Kathy Patterson, a Democrat from Ward 3, who said she has asked Deputy Mayor Margret Nedelkoff Kellems to press White House officials to work out a resolution. ''If the federal government is not being a good neighbor, we'll elevate the issue to a level where something can be done,'' Patterson said. ''We want to know what we can know about what they're up to and if they are able to be a bit more responsive.'' The Naval Observatory, which opened at 3450 Massachusetts Ave. in 1893, houses many of the Navy's precious instruments used for measuring time and astronomy. The house on its grounds was designated as the vice president's residence in 1974. If residents' speculation is accurate and construction workers are digging deep into the ground, the project would be going through about 35 feet of common sand and gravel, according to federal officials at the US Geological Survey. Anything beyond that depth would hit tonalite, an intrusive igneous rock similar to granite and common to the area. To resident Joe Rieser, the noise is ''quite remarkable.'' ''It's like thunder,'' he said. ''It rolls. The windows rattle.

BigBrotherWare,
All one has to do is to refuse to upgrade. Unless you get over the upgrade hype there is no cure - it's unlikely that home-manufactured computers for the masses will be a reality any time soon. The short life span of hw/sw platforms gives tremenduous power to mass manufacturers. It becomes like food industry. Only this one is not base on need for carbohydrates and proteins (and fat, of course), but on manufactured hype about value of new vs. old. Most of the stuff (except games) works perfectly functionally today in hw/sw combinations from 1997. E-mail, http clients, ftp, usenet, graphic design/DTP, wordprocessors. This is not a long-term solution, but it's the best there is. What kind of effort is required to make computers (=hw+sw) have longevity of books, and therefore eliminate the power of publishers ? This has been discussed at the Register under the term,' stuckist,' web,I believe. It could help make my Dell usable when and if I ever get it back. I am running windows 98 se on this boxen as an experiment in stuckism. (though hoping to go to full crypto penguin one day.)

MRS. EKI OMORODION # 8 Queens Drive Ikoyi Lagos. Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] INTRODUCTION: l am Mrs. Eki Omorodion l know this proposal will come to you as a surprise because we have not met before either physically or through correspondence. I have no doubt in your ability to handle this proposal involving huge sum of money. THE SUBJECT: MY HUSBAND CHIEF JOSEPH OMORODION (Now Late)was the Royal Head of my Community, JESSE (an oil rich town)in Nigeria. My late husbandS community produces 3.5% of the total crude oilproduction in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrel is paid to my husband as royalty by the Federal Government. My husband was also the Chairman of OMPADEC,Jesse branch.In his position as the Royal head and Chairman of the OMPADEC, Jesse branch, he made some money which he left for me and our children as the only thing to inherit. The money is Twelve Million US Dollars($12M). Though this said fund accumulated between the period 1976-1998. Due to poor banking system in Nigeria and political instability as a result of past Military rules (1985-1999), he deposited this Money in a Strong Room/safe with an open beneficiary in Apex Bank of Nigeria pending when he would finish arrangement to transfer it abroad as a CONTRACT PAYMENT. He was planning this when he died late last year of Heart Attack. THE PROPOSAL: Just before my husband died he called my attention to the money and charged me to look for a foreigner who would assist me in the transfer / investment of the funds abroad. So l would be very grateful if you could accept to help me archieve this great objective. I promise to give you 20% of the total funds transferred to your vital bank account as compensation for your assistance. Five percent(5%)would be set aside to take care of all expenses we may incure during the transaction. To indicate your interest, contact me urgently and confidentially for more information and the roles you will play in this business.

Title: This message has been sent to you in compliance with our strict anti STOCK ALERT RJV Networks, Inc. (OTC BB: RJNV) TARGET Price $4 -to- $6 in January 2003 Tonight:RJNV holds exclusive licenses to state-of-the-art bio-technology developed at University of Michigan and the Cancer Control Agency of B.C. that experts are using to develop therapies believed to be capable of treating most cancers. Through an acquisition of BioKinetix Research, Inc. (currently underway), RJVN is rapidly completing the development of a therapy for cancer that will make a lasting impression on the multibillion dollar bio-tech industry. Read more about this exciting up and comer below. Company Name RJV Networks, Inc. Symbol RJVN Current Price $0.26 52 Week High $2.10 52 Week Low $0.26 Target $4 -to- $6 Q1/2003 Investment Highlights ÿB7 RJVN projects it will be able to treat most cancers with its combined targeted therapy treatment which is based upon an astounding discovery by a molecular biologist at the Univ. of Michigan - The causal link to breast and most other malignancies and cancers in the protein Mammastatin. ÿB7 ÿB7 RJVN has developed a series of cancer treatment therapies which utilize pan-cancer market antibodies. Antibody therapies do not create chemical toxicity and, as such, are fast tracked through the regulatory approval process.Using this approach, RJVN is targeted to enter testing for its products in six months. ÿB7 ÿB7 RJVN's combination of two leading, well known technologies previously announced by BioCurex and InNexus Corp along with RJVN's key MAb protein replicating technology has allowed the Company to create a series of patented therapeutic products that many molecular biologists believe will treat most cancers. ÿB7 ÿB7 RJVN's RD and Management are led by Dr. John Todd, Dr. Charles Morgan (a world renowned molecular biologist and 5 other industry leading Dr's all with several years experience in bio-tech development. About the Company RJVN (through BioKinetix Research, Inc.) was formed after Dr. John Todd, a very well known and respected oncological surgeon from BC, approached us with the story of an astounding discovery that had been made by molecular biologists at the University of Michigan. This discovery was believed to be the causal link to breast cancer, the link is a medium sized (53KD) protein called Mammastatin.The evidence is that Mammastatin is the agent that, when present, prevents the development and growth of malignant breast tumors. Mammastatin is freely expressed by the epithelial cells in the breast and as such acts as a natural contra-agent to malignant development. Women who develop breast cancer have NO or extremely low levels of Mammastatin in their system. After testing hundreds of women, no woman with normal Mammastatin levels has developed breast cancer. Dr. John Todd in conjunction with the Cancer Control Agency of B.C. conducted compassionate trials on several terminally ill patients (authorized by Health Canada) with a Mammastatin replacement program the results of which thoroughly convinced Dr. Todd of the direct link.The challenge existed from the fact that proteins are extremely difficult to sequence (replicate). Mammastatin has over 400 amino-acids in its chain, and, even if successful in sequencing, the synthetic replication is even more difficult. Finally the delivery of a protein, natural or synthetic, will now have to face the natural breakdown of the chain as it circulates through the body. Dr. Charles Morgan is a world-renowned molecular biologist who has proposed an alternative approach to this problem. He is convinced, and several well known molecular biologists agree with him, that he can mimic the active component of the Mammastatin protein through the production of an anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody (MAb).These MAbs are stable, target specific and will in all measure act like the native Mammastatin.To dramatically enhance the bio-activity of these anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibodies, RJNV will create Superantibodies through the use of InNexus' Super Antibody platform technology (see news for OTC BB: BOCX about this technology). This technology allows the cross linking of antibodies to boost their potency and resiliency. As a result of the scientific approach implemented by RJNV's BioKinetix (acquisition underway), the company has negotiated a license from BioCurex OTC BB: BOCX to develop therapeutic products based on their pan-cancer marker antibodies.The combination of these two technologies gives RJVN the potential to create a series of therapeutic products that will

MR. BALDWIN ONUIGBO DIAMOND BANK (NIG.) LTD. LAGOS BRANCH LAGOS. - NIGERIA. Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Sir, I am Mr Baldwin Onuigbo, Bank Manager of Diamond Bank of Nigeria, Lagos Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On July 6, 1997, a Canadian Oil consultant/contractor with the Shell Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Fisher Wess made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$15,000,000.00 (Fifteen Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Shell Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Fisher Wess died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Fisher Wess did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$15,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Fisher Wess so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the service of two Attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world which you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 25% for you. Then 5% will be used to offset any expenses incured during the entire processing. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address below. You can also reply via my e-mail . Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. that will help you understand the transaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent reply via my email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks and regards. Mr. Baldwin Onuigbo __ TheMail.com - Full featured premium email you can count on.

War for drugs...
Yeah--you got it--Poppies...and now that the Warlords are back in charge the cash crop is back. Remember that it was the US which encouraged the Taliban to crack down on the cultivation of Afghanistan poppies. A gift of several million US dollars convinced the Taliban to ban the farming of poppies, depriving the Afghani farmers of their livlihood, while not impacting the world drug trade (the Taliban wisely retained stock-piles of processed crop, ready for price-fixing.) Oil might have something to do with the US's interest in being Afghanistan's puppeteer, but it is unlikely that opium does as well. Well, to be honest I don't know about the whole oil/drugs conspiracy thing. But I continue to point out (to those that will listen) that the circumstantial evidence is very good, and superficially it appears as if this is what's going on, and this appearence alone is of big concern. As for the drugs/Afghanistan thing, I don't necessarily think it would be the Federal government per se. If there's any truth to it, this would be where the CIA is wielding its guns-of-fun. In other words, the US government is by no means some large, monolithic entity...it has all sorts of compartments and factions. For instance, when that series of San Fransisco Examiner articles came out about the CIA targeting inner city areas for drug distribution, there were stories of the DEA arriving at a big bust, only to find the place cleaned out, apparently tipped off. And all signs pointed to the CIA. And indeed I often wonder what, for instance, NSA dudes think when they sniff out the CIA doing some dastardly deed (or vice-versa). Do they say Shit--look at those CIA scumbags, or do they shut their mouths? (Or do they have special ultra discrete snoops who give periodic reports to the NSA chief, who merely nods his head sagely and silently...)

The easiest initial front in this war, one the OS companies like Apple and Microsoft have a corporate interest in, is for the OS to more aggressively check for hacks or products not approved. Software registration and signatures will of course not be granted to DVD hacks. (Much has been made of how the Microsoft- and Intel-backed security regimes will be opt in or voluntary. This seems dubious. It is precisely the non-volunteers who these companies, and Hollywood, and the Nation States, will be most concerned about.

Objectivists having orgasms over Israel because it is supposedly a liberal democracy is rather like communists having orgasms over Cuba because it was supposedly egalitarian. It is also entertaining that the socialism of Israel is, like the socialism of the Sandinistas, a lot more socialist for ethnic groups that are hated than ethnic groups that are favored, which reminds me of the argument I sometimes hear from socialists about West Germany -- that all Germans were evil hateful nazi murderers, and therefore should have had a socialist economy imposed on them. But I ramble and digress. To get back on point, if those who purport to be objectivists are also militant zionist interventionists, we should not take their supposed objectivist ideals too seriously. --digsig James A.

So far, nobody has found such a smoking gun. --Tim May The State is the great fiction by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else. --Frederic Bastiat

RE: Using Brin to thwart ISP subpoenas
Steve Schear[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: This crackpot idea is a follow-on to my suggestion for improving public library privacy in the face of TLA inquiries. The basic notion here is for na ISP to allow all its premises to be bugged. Every room (except maybe the restroom) by its clients (or their proxies). All communication could be monitored and the ISP would have no control. My understanding of court orders that they must be served on the ISP at its business address. Once the order is opened or discussed by the designated employee who receives the data all its clients would know in short order. The employees and management will not have been responsible because they have not taken any affirmative actions to allow the information to escape their custody. They will have protected the info withe the same diligence they show their own data. ;-) steve A year or two ago, I suggested to someone associated with http://www.thebunker.com (an ISP based in an underground ex-RAF bunker in Britain) that they set up a web-accessible camera on the entrance, so that anyone could detect an attack in progress. They don't seem to have done so. Peter Trei

Re: BigBrotherWare
Speculation: I expect the battles over cyberspace to shift to the OS, with the leading private (non open source) OS makers enlisted in the War Against Illegal Thoughts. The easiest initial front in this war, one the OS companies like Apple and Microsoft have a corporate interest in, is for the OS to more aggressively check for hacks or products not All one has to do is to refuse to upgrade. Unless you get over the upgrade hype there is no cure - it's unlikely that home-manufactured computers for the masses will be a reality any time soon. The short life span of hw/sw platforms gives tremenduous power to mass manufacturers. It becomes like food industry. Only this one is not base on need for carbohydrates and proteins (and fat, of course), but on manufactured hype about value of new vs. old. Most of the stuff (except games) works perfectly functionally today in hw/sw combinations from 1997. E-mail, http clients, ftp, usenet, graphic design/DTP, wordprocessors. This is not a long-term solution, but it's the best there is. What kind of effort is required to make computers (=hw+sw) have longevity of books, and therefore eliminate the power of publishers ? = end (of original message) Y-a*h*o-o (yes, they scan for this) spam follows: Yahoo!
