NEWS RELEASE FROM THE LIBERTARIAN ALLIANCE
In Association with the Libertarian International

GOVT'S DATA SHARING PLAN IS A DAGGER TO THE HEART OF LIBERTY, SAYS
FREE MARKET AND CIVIL LIBERTIES THINK TANK

The Labour's government's plans to integrate the personal data held
on British citizens by various government departments and agencies
is a dagger to the heart of liberty, says the Libertarian Alliance,
the radical free market and civil liberties think tank and pressure
group.

Libertarian Alliance Director, Dr Chris R. Tame, says:

In the light of the ever-more blatant attack on civil liberties in
this country - including the proliferation of camera surveillance
systems, the increasing involvement of intelligence agencies in
political surveillance and dirty tricks operations, the push for a
national ID card and DNA database, the gradual abolition of common
law liberties by the removal of jury trials, of the presumption of
innocence, of the right of silence and of double jeopardy, and by
the adoption of the EU's despotic corpus juris - this proposal is
even more ominous. The government's claim that data would be
processed only 'where necessary' is laughable - especially when one
sees that their list of 'necessary' reasons covers every conceivable
excuse for nanny statism, paternalism, censorship, socialism,
prudery, puritanism and prohibitionism.

It is ironic that when the state has demonstrated that it is
incapable of providing any 'public service' adequately, when it
cannot defend its citizens from predators of every stripe, that is
should be attempting to turn us into supplicants and serfs. The
common argument that 'if you have nothing to hide you have nothing
to fear' is absurd. In an age when health fascists have declared
smoking to be a form of child abuse it is clear that everyone can be
subjected to the prejudices of demented paternalists - whether of
the fundamentalist religious nutters, the peddlers of PC pieties,
the environmentalists, or the feminist anti-sex cranks. Your life
style, your tastes, your sexuality, your political and social views,
can be subjected to tomorrow's moral panic, propaganda scare
campaign and witch-hunt and legislated as 'crimes' or as
'politically incorrect'.

The citizens of Britain need to send a message to our would-be
masters that we are not numbers, that we will not be pushed, filed,
indexed, stamped, briefed, debriefed, or numbered - that our lives
are our own.

It is now clear that the 'social contract' has been broken by the
state. Resistance to the usurpations of the state is both a right
and a moral duty. It is the right, the duty, of all to resist and
disrupt the state's data gathering and record-keeping ability, by
whatever means are necessary.

[CTRL] NEWS RELEASE: Identity Cards Attacked

2002-02-06 Thread Dr Chris R. Tame
 have no views on this matter.

Question:  Views are invited on the possibility, perhaps in the medium
or longer term, of introducing, a multi-function Government card which
would serve as an identity card and could provide extra convenience to
the citizen.

Answer:  We are against it.  So long as we respect the life, liberty and
property of others, no authority has any right to know who we are, where
we live, or what we may be doing at any moment.  The only convenience
of this kind of card would be for dealing with a government that
consistently exceeded its legitimate authority.  We once hoped that a
Conservative Government - committed to economic freedom and the
generally free traditions of this country - would rather reduce the
number of contacts between citizen and state than find ways to make them
easier, and therefore still more frequent.

Question:  Views are invited on the possibility of introducing a
compulsory identity card based on either a simple or multi-purpose
identity card and the level of enforcement necessary.

Answer:  Either of these is possible.  We only deny the need and
morality of both.  Yet, this being said, we will note that the estimated
costs - of 2-4 billion to start up, plus anything up to 1 billion per
year thereafter - are enormous.  And these costs probably take no
account of the waste and extravagance that attend all government
efforts.

Turning to the level of enforcement necessary, we say this:  Any scheme
that stops short of total surveillance of the whole population, and that
fails to incorporate fairly secure identification protocols - retina
patterns, DNA sampling, or whatever - will have little effect on
criminal activity.  Any scheme that does not stop short will take us
straight into the world of dystopian science fiction.

These are our summarised grounds of opposition to any identity card
scheme.

[CTRL] Summary of David Rose's The Osama Files from Latest Vanity Fair

2001-12-10 Thread Dr Chris R. Tame

-Caveat Lector-

  Shame on Clinton — again


     Good news, sort of, for Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright.
Having persisted in telling tales at cross-purposes to explain why
the Clinton administration did nothing about Osama bin Laden and the
al Qaeda network for all those Clinton years, these two erstwhile
office-holders may now read from the same page — literally — and
discover in the January issue of Vanity Fair what went wrong on
their watch.
     In The Osama Files by David Rose, the former
president and former secretary of state get a second chance to
see the letters and secret memoranda that they, along with their
top aides, once ignored or failed to act upon. The rest of us,
meanwhile, get a look at an eye-popping paper trail that
documents futile efforts by Sudan to alert the United States to
the workings, the identities and the movements of the al Qaeda
network, including, of course, bin Laden.
  Â Â Â Â Â Mr. Clinton and
Mrs. Albright may not only reconsider the entreaties of Sudan's
President Omar al-Bashir to then-President Clinton (the Sudanese
leader asked to open his country to the CIA and the FBI so the
United States could investigate for itself whether Sudan trained
or sheltered terrorists), but also the many invitations Sudan
made to share terrorism information with U.S. intelligence
agencies. In political retirement, they may reflect on whether
it was such a brilliant idea, for example, for the State
Department to have nixed FBI interest in meeting with Sudanese
intelligence. As former Bush White House official and lobbyist Janet
McElligott said when urging the government to examine Sudan's
dossiers, You do realize bin Laden lived there [Sudan] and they
have files on his main people?     Vanity Fair reports that
Sudan's efforts to open its books on bin Laden began in February
1996, well in advance of the terrorist attacks that would make
the Saudi-born terrorist infamous. That means that for more than
four years the Clinton administration refused to consider
intelligence that might have prevented the bombing of the Khobar
Towers (June 1996), the destruction of the American embassies in
Kenya and Tanzania (August 1998), the attack on the USS Cole
(October 2000) and, of course, September 11. Why was such
potentially vital information not only ignored but never even
evaluated?     The simple answer is that the Clinton
administration had accused Sudan of sponsoring terrorism, and
refused to believe that anything it did to prove its bona fides
could be genuine, the magazine reports. No doubt. But there is
probably more to this scandalous failure than the
politicization of intelligence.     Just ask a simple
question. What mattered more to Clintonites in June 1996: the
news on June 25 that a truck bomb had exploded at Khobar Towers
in Dharan, Saudi Arabia, or the Supreme Court decision on June
24 to hear Jones vs. Clinton after the 1996 re-election
campaign? Or compare another strange confluence of events. What more
likely preoccupied Mr. Clinton and his advisers in August 1998: the
embassy bombings in Africa on Aug. 7, or Mr. Clinton's upcoming
appearance before a grand jury in connection with the Lewinsky
matter on Aug. 17?     Given the permanent reconfiguration of
the Clinton White House into a scandal-busting spin machine, the
answers to such questions are obvious and distasteful. They may
make it easier to explain, for example, why Sudan's offer to
extradite two suspected bombers and al Qaeda members, made in
the days between the embassy bombings and Mr. Clinton's grand
jury appearance, was met with silence — except, of course, for
the sound of American bombs falling on a Khartoum medicine
factory. They don't, however, make it any more conscionable.
     The fact is, the scandal-riddled Clinton administration simply
and disastrously failed to function — and that, surely, is the
biggest scandal of them all.Source:

Re: [CTRL] Why Japan did not invade Hawaii....

2001-07-03 Thread Dr Chris R. Tame

-Caveat Lector-

In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Bill Richer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
writes
-Caveat Lector-

  This really says it all when discussing gun control!


In 1960, Robert Menard was a Commander aboard the USS Constellation
  when he was part of a meeting between United States Navy personnel and
  their counterparts in the Japanese Defense Forces.

Fifteen years had passed since VJ day, most of those at the meeting
were WWII veterans, and men who had fought each other to the death
  at sea were now comrades in battle who could confide in one another.

Someone at the table asked a Japanese admiral why, with the Pacific
  Fleet devastated at Pearl Harbor and the mainland US forces in what Japan
  had to know was a pathetic state of unreadiness, Japan had not simply
  invaded the West Coast.

Commander Menard would never forget the crafty look on the Japanese
commander's face as he frankly answered the question.

You are right, he told the Americans.  We did indeed know much
  about your preparedness. We knew that probably every second home in your
  country contained firearms. We knew that your country actually had state
  championships for private citizens shooting military rifles. We were not
fools to
  set foot in such quicksand.


Any chance of a full citation for the source of this story? Without
proper documentation it is useless as intellectual ammunition against
the victim disarmers.
