Re: Zombie Patriots and other musings
It was discovered a while back, check the archives, or Tim's FAQ, that all the remailers were compromised, with or without the operator's complicity with TLAs. After that discovery there was a turning of the covert control to re-direct it toward its implementer(s). That was soon re-turned by the TLAs back at the turners, a cycle-countercycle that continues now. One day you may be read by the TLAs, the next read by the remailer operators, each looking for evidence of nefarium by the other so that countermeasures can be invented and deployed. While the remailer/coopt-remailer make-work has kept a couple of cut-out remailer operators busy in Bhopal keeping the TLAs focussed on threats to the institutionalized suppression of anonymous speech, astute anonymity performers are jabbering at mirrors and pontificating to pets against law and order elsewhere. For a small fortune you can subscribe to a source of absolutely secure means of communications tested by centuries of reliability. Blind Faith. No, not that of the Masons, and certainly not nouveau-cult Skull and Bones, nor even Tri-Lateral Commies, what you have to do to get entry is to Fedex weapons grade anthrax to the homes (and/or lovers) of heads of government worldwide. You get ten HoGs, or 5,000 celebrities, certifiable by swissbank.com forwarded to you of their secret account deposits, you're in. Call yourself god's emissary. And then a target for someone younger and smarter and far uglier in ruthless mayhem, driven by murderous, most often suicidal, hatred for everything holy. Dread of easily-blameworthy TLAs is for cotton-candy addicts. Fear not those carrying a peashooter, instead those armed with horrifying urges beyond belief.

Re: Zombie Patriots and other musings
A question for the moment might well be how many if any of the remailers are operated by TLAs?

They were influenced by memes which were not immediately suppressed. One interesting property of the lone warriors is that they can't actually make peace. With large sets of them, there's not only no way to force them to surrender, there's no way to even surrender to them! The demands of different lone warriors are different. Because they're not under anyone's authority, you can't negotiate a truce that's worth anything with them. You've executed the FBI and BATF agents involved in the Waco disaster, and so Tim McVeigh has made peace with you. But Randolph still blows things up, because he wants abortion clinics and gay bars shut down. And the Unabomber wanted (as far as I can tell) technology shut down. Of course, there's a more fundamental problem with surrendering to the lone warriors. Imagine that there's such a wave of pro-life terrorism that we finally agree to ban abortion.

-- On 12 Dec 2003 at 19:06, Tim May wrote: Your notion that a gold atom cannot be distinguished from another has anything important to do with issues at the crypto and traceability layers is symptomatic of this delusion. It has nothing to do with crypto, but a great deal to do with traceability. When a person deposits $10,000 and then writes a check to another person, or wires money, or withdraws cash, and so and so forth, do you think some record of the serial numbers was the means by which this transaction was traced? Usually the transfer of value ultimately results in an adjustment in the ledgers of the federal reserve -- the receiving bank goes up slightly, the sending bank goes down slightly, and the traceability follows from the fact that the transaction ultimately goes through the federal reserve. The FRN numbers are a backup system to trace people and banks who try to bypass this. A gold transfer does not go through the federal reserve. Your foolish faith that E-gold is some significant step because gold atoms look like all other gold atoms, because there is only one stable isotope of gold is embematic of the delusions which the gold bugs and offshore platform silly people have.

The community is small enough so that the fraction must be in low 10% at worst.
