Anonymous had better learn to read, or at least quote email correctly. The signature quotations were not posted by Durden, but by Harmon Seaver. I too found them astonishing, but unlike anonymous, I try to check things out before calling foul. Anon should learn to use Google.

Butler certainly existed; Amazon has at least two biographies available, and one of them has a sample page image refering to his 1935 book 'War is a Racket', titled after the 1933 speech. Part of the speech can be found here: http://www.fas.org/man/smedley.htm 5 chapters of the book can be found here: http://www.lexrex.com/enlightened/articles/warisaracket.htm If anonymous were a person of character he/she/it would apologize, first to Tyler Durden, for misquoting, and second to Harmon Seaver, but accusing him of lying.

Our overriding purpose, from the beginning through to the present day, has been world domination - that is, to build and maintain the capacity to coerce everybody else on the planet: nonviolently, if possible, and violently, if necessary.

It's mammothly unlikely that they would fabricate the interview out of whole cloth, since Clarke would sue for libel and/or defamation. On the contrary, this is standard routine communist behavior. They are always inventing fantastic citations, for example the much quoted Intoxicating Augmentation quote that Karl Marx attributed to Gladstone (then prime minister of England) which generation after generation learned scholars have learnedly cited as evidence that free market capitalism was bad for workers. Since Clarke is a public figure he cannot sue for libel, so he is a good peg to hang such a citation on. If Karl Marx could get away with attributing fantastic citations to the Prime Minister, the sun can certainly get away with attributing them to an attorney general. The enormous flood of such bogus citations make it unlikely that any one of them will be challenged. Look at Chomsky. Every few pages he has a similarly fraudulent citation, and no one ever sues him, even though in some cases one can check the materials he cites, and find that he is lying.

You have to realize that there are any number of fedzis who subscribe to this list, it's a well authenticated fact, matter of court testimony. And fedzis aren't noted for brains, or even being able to read, which is why he attacked you instead of me. And of course most fedzis positively foam at the mouth when hearing the truth being spoken, thus the rabid nature of his spewing. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com War is just a racket ... something that is not what it seems to the majority of people.

Re: Durden lies, was: Echelon-like resources...
Yo! I didn't write anything of the kind. Actually, this post mystifies me...even had I posted those quotations, as scary as they may be, I don't understand Anonymous' reaction to them (waitaminute...maybe I do understand...it's interesting to consider that the sender seems to have gone to some trouble to remain anonymous for a relatively banal post). As for the point, as a newbie here (I was an optical network engineer from 95 to recently, now on $$$-street), I wanted to raise the issue that looking at the crytpography issue statistically may yield conclusions that contradict a more linear, message-by-message examination of certain issues. For instance, I would be interested to see a response from the powers that be, if a credible grass-roots push were made to encourage everyone, from children to senior citizens, to use a lite form of cryptography (yes, such as in Lotus Notes) on EVERY message they sent. Or perhaps you've all discussed this before, but the responses I've seen so far don't indicate that.
