Hello! Welcome to ATI59. It seems we're keeping up with our
|
|
monthly schedule, for now!
|
|
In fact, we might even put out ATI60 in LESS than a month! So,
|
|
look for at least one ATI per month, maybe more!
|
|
|
|
First off: ATI's FTP Site:
|
|
ftp.eff.org
|
|
192.88.144.4
|
|
/pub/cud
|
|
|
|
Also, please send in BBS numbers to be posted in ATI60. Please tell us:
|
|
Board name
|
|
Board telephone #
|
|
Baud rates
|
|
What is the board about? H/P? Pirate? General discussion?
|
|
Special topic?
|
|
|
|
|
|
And before we start, a few words on the Rodney King verdict and the
|
|
riots. There was unrest in over a dozen cities, including nearby
|
|
Newark and NYC.
|
|
The jury made its verdict not because of racism, but in reflection upon
|
|
the evidence. We have a system here. It's: innocent until proven guilty.
|
|
The jury felt that after examination of the COMPLETE tape (which showed King
|
|
seriously resisting arrest, kicking and fighting w/ the officers, etc.)
|
|
that they used the necessary force to subdue King. And they didn't say ALL
|
|
of the four were innocent: the jury was hung as to one officer's guilt,
|
|
and he may be retried (expect to see him FRIED regardless of guilt or
|
|
innocence).
|
|
The riots were thuggery, nothing more. Now the death toll is close to
|
|
50, and still rising. Hundreds, of not thousands, were injured.
|
|
The property damage in L.A. alone is over 100 million dollars. Guess who pays
|
|
for it? Look in the mirror. Your tax dollars go to clean up the mess through
|
|
federal emergency funds, and you will also pay through higher insurance
|
|
premiums.
|
|
Also: inner city businesses may not even be able to GET insurance after
|
|
this. Business that provided jobs and commerce to the area are gone.
|
|
And why didn't the politicians repudiate the violence? All they said,
|
|
including King George, was, "We know how they feel", etc. They should have
|
|
unconditionally renounced the violence, and dealt with it more strongly
|
|
with more police, military, etc. Oh, and NJ senator Bill Bradley made
|
|
a DISGUSTING speech to the Senate, totally pandering to the rioters, the
|
|
thugs.
|
|
And one of the greatest tragedies of this situation is this - the damage
|
|
to our judicial system. All it says is that in some trials with the victim
|
|
being a Black person and the defendant being white (or Asian), the verdict
|
|
had better be guilty, or there'll be trouble. I remember that happening in
|
|
a trial in NYC - or was it in Teaneck, NJ, where a white cop was charged
|
|
with shooting a Black teen? Anyway, a Black individual (can't remember
|
|
who) went on TV and threatened "trouble" (unrest in the streets) if the
|
|
verdict was "not guilty". Why wasn't he changed with jury tampering or
|
|
obstruction of justice? JUSTICE CANNOT BE BULLIED. (btw.. the verdict
|
|
in the Teaneck trial was "not guilty" - no trouble followed).
|
|
The Ventura (Calif.) Free Press printed the names, ages, and home AND
|
|
business addresses of the jurors in the King trial. Why did they do that?
|
|
That's deplorable. I'll bet at least one of them gets hurt or even killed.
|
|
|
|
Ok, so it was more than a few words.. just had to get it off my chest.
|
|
If we come across more pertinent info, it'll be in ATI60.
|
|
|
|
We've got a lot of cool stuph for you, so on with the show!

-- LETTER #1 --
|
|
|
|
A few comments on Croaker's letter in ATI58:
|
|
|
|
First off, there is a very good book on the NSA and the way it works,
|
|
called The Puzzle Palace, by James Bamford.. ISBN: 0-14-006748-5.
|
|
|
|
Secondly, as to the security of DES.. DES was recently (within the
|
|
last month or so) broken by Adi Shamir (one of the authors of RSA) and
|
|
Eli Biham. They used what is called a "chosen-plaintext" attack,
|
|
which basically means you have to control the traffic being encrypted
|
|
by DES. Not only that, but you have to control the contents of 2^36
|
|
different message, about 68 billion. This would seem to show that DES
|
|
is a very secure algorithm, especially considering that it's been
|
|
around almost 20 years. Research by the same team that finally broke
|
|
it has also shown that the changes made by NSA to the algorithm
|
|
(which was originally developed by IBM) strengthened it rather than
|
|
inserted a backdoor.
|
|
|
|
Now the Digital Signature Standard... this is the public-key algorithm
|
|
developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in
|
|
association with NSA. Not only is this considered a "weak" algorithm,
|
|
but a backdoor HAS been found in it. It was discovered quickly after
|
|
the standard was released that if the "prime modulus" (the number upon
|
|
which all the keys, public and private, are based) is chosen
|
|
carefully, a digital signature can be forged at will. This has once
|
|
again raised quite a bit of controversy over the NSA and its role in
|
|
civilian security issues.
|
|
|
|
Finally, the licensing of the RSA algorithm... it is perfectly legal
|
|
to make a program that uses the RSA algorithm (Pretty Good Privacy for
|
|
the IBM comes to mind) as long as you don't sell it. The way the
|
|
copyright law works, you can't license a mathematical FACT, but you
|
|
can certainly copyright an algorithm. Any computer program can be
|
|
considered ultimately mathematical in nature, so RSA can be
|
|
copyrighted just the same. Also, I believe RSA is patented. I'm not
|
|
at all sure about this, so if anyone knows better, please correct me.
|
|
This could be done easiest by producing a chip that contains the RSA
|
|
algorithm and patenting the chip, which would also prevent the
|
|
production of derivative works.
|
|
|
|
Hope that was interesting to at least a few of you!!

Man, you all need to put out more often... I really

enjoy reading your posts. I guess I just feel nostalgic

for the "old days"... I have completely lost touch

What else do you all do for kicks?

|
|
|
|
Subject: ATI 1
|
|
|
|
What happened to all those noble sentiments in ATI 1? The latest ATI
|
|
is an ALL-US issue, and ends up with a REALLY dumb filk about phreaking.
|
|
What happened to the *activist* part?
|
|
|
|
|
|
(We're still activist. We may not focus on the same things as we did
|
|
in the beginning. We started four years ago, and Prime ran things back
|
|
in the days of ATI 1, and now I run them. We're still dedicated to
|
|
discussing the corruption and conspiracy that makes up our gov't, and this
|
|
issue should illustrate that in Prime's column and mine.
|
|
What is your objection to the the US being widely discussed in our
|
|
last issue, or in ATI in general? We do cover world events, but we can
|
|
only print the material we get or that I stumble upon. Now that I am
|
|
listening to more shortwave, I will write about news I hear on the BBC
|
|
or other stations. Also, in ATI57, we featured an article by Nosferatu
|
|
about political/economic issues in Norway & Europe.
|
|
And why MUST the world be covered? Are you trained to be a nice
|
|
citizen in the New World Order(tm)? Watch for ATI60, in which we
|
|
expose the N.W.O.
|
|
If there's a topic or viewpoint you'd like to see in ATI, write
|
|
something, and send it in. We'll use it, 95% gurantee. :) -GZ)

LETTER #5
|
|
|
|
I'd like to subscribe to this GREAT magazine.
|
|
|
|
BTW, the country mentioned in August 1991 issue was (ex) Yugoslavia. The
|
|
Yugoslav federal army (= Serbian army) occupied Slovenia. After some days
|
|
of war they found out, that they cannot win the war and they left Slovenia
|
|
(last federal soldier left Slovenia in October 1991). Then they occupied
|
|
Croatia (and destroyed almost everything), now they occupied Bosnia. Hope
|
|
someone will stop Serbia soon.

That's right! Prime Anarchist comes live at 'ya with his occasional
|
|
column:
|
|
|
|
Prime Anarchist World News
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 predictions from the Primester:
|
|
|
|
A) If George's ratings go below 49%, a war will begin within 36
|
|
hours. Cuba? Middle East? Africa? Haiti? Colombia? Pick a country.
|
|
We're still ready everywhere.
|
|
B) Upon inauguration (after re-election), George declares finally
|
|
that this country's in the midst of a depression. As big as, if not larger
|
|
that, the "Great One" of 1929.
|
|
So, get rid of your silver and gold and sore up all the foodstuffs
|
|
you can. I'm having a great deal of trouble finding people to buy my metals
|
|
already. And I don't wanna get stuck with it. I may have to melt it down
|
|
and learn jewelry making, I think.

"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the White House Press Office", by ATI
|
|
|
|
I dialed the White House Press Office one Tuesday afternoon.
|
|
1-800-424-9090 usually gets you a 1-5 minute recording of George Bush's most
|
|
recent public rambling. This was Raygun's number, and before that,
|
|
Carter's. One can only assume it went before that to Nixon and Ford.
|
|
Usually, when you dial it, you know right away by the tone whether or
|
|
not there's something new or not.
|
|
"This is the White House Press Office for _____________ (insert date
|
|
here)" means you get to hear today's rant-and-rave.
|
|
"You have reached the White House Press Office, radio actualities
|
|
line. We have no actualities at this time. Thank you for calling and please
|
|
call again," is the only other message they use.
|
|
Today I got both.
|
|
At the same time.
|
|
Simultaneous messages. One was tomorrow's message, as the voice was
|
|
in the middle of saying "for Wednesday, etc," when a "click" interrupted, and
|
|
the friendly old dialtone came on.
|
|
So.
|
|
They have George's tomorow speech already cued up, and he hasn't even
|
|
given it yet! What a crock of political bullshit. Tell all your friends.
|
|
This must get out. Widespread - please. The New World Order (tm) is only a
|
|
heartbeat away while you're waiting for the next few re-alignments and radio
|
|
actualities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
---> backtothepredictions --->
|
|
|
|
Prime Prediction #3? Sure. Saddam Hussein buys his way into the New
|
|
World Order (tm) about 6 years from now, or however long it takes for people
|
|
to forget George's comparing him to Hitler. After all, he is their
|
|
President. Yes!! He won in a democratic election in 1980 (coincidentally
|
|
enough) against a man of last name Bakr (pronounced like the bread-maker).
|
|
Yup. At any rate, Hussein still hasn't returned all the gold, silver,
|
|
platinum, and silicon he stole from Kuwait. So, to every world leader, a
|
|
price. What'll it be? Gold? Platinum? Oil? Hmm. He's got it. Wait and
|
|
see..
|
|
PAWN has no major numbers run this time around. Maybe next
|
|
time.
|
|
Prime Anarchist is not a Ecodefense monkeywrench warrior, but he
|
|
says, "let's put these oil companies back where they belong -- back in the
|
|
ground."
|
|
Don't burn coal,

...random thoughts from Ground Zero
|
|
|
|
|
|
* shortwaves *
|
|
|
|
In the last issue, I wrote about some former pirate radio people
|
|
who broadcast Sunday nights on WWCR. Well, I wrote to them, and sent them
|
|
a reception report. I heard back from them, and got my very first QSL
|
|
card (when you send a reception report, they send you a QSL that lists
|
|
the time and date you listed on your report, confirming the contact).
|
|
I'm new to shortwave, so it was a big thrill for me! I also got a short
|
|
writeup on them, and their broadcast schedule. Here it is:
|
|
|
|
RADIO NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL - Earth sensitive alternative radio for the
|
|
U.S. and the world
|
|
|
|
"RNI is the former offshore station of the RADIO SHIP SARAH. We offer

|
|

|
|

So, give these guys a listen. They're fun. I don't agree with
|
|
their leftist politics, but I still like 'em.
|
|
Has anyone found a pirate station? If so, contact me and let me
|
|
know the frequency, time, etc. I can't wait to hear a bona fide pirate
|
|
broadcast!
|
|
As I said last time - check out For The People from 8pm-10pm EST
|
|
weekdays, and Radio Free America from 10 pm - Mid. EST weekdays on
|
|
WWCR, 7.435 MHz.

* Indians *
|
|
|
|
An Indian tribe (the name escapes me) set up a casino in their
|
|
reservation in Ledyard, CT. This brings many jobs and commerce to that
|
|
area, which has been hard-hit by the recession (btw, that's Prime
|
|
Anarchist's former home and still home to Fah-Q), and puts lots of money
|
|
in those Indians' pockets, all of which is good.
|
|
BUT - I don't like the fact that the Indians can form their little
|
|
enclaves separate from the U.S. The state of Connecticut denied the
|
|
Indians' original request to build the casino, but the Indians overrode it
|
|
in court, using their status as a separate Indian "nation", autonomous
|
|
>from the U.S. (when the Indians get gov't aid, that "autonomy" doesn't
|
|
come into play, hmm).
|
|
---> PRIME ANARCHIST UPDATE: Prime is walking cross-country
|
|
with the Big Mountain Indians to protest the whole Big Mountain sitaution.
|
|
They are all due to arrive in Washington, D.C. on Columbus Day.
|
|
Now, I happen to think the Big Mountain Indians were screwed over
|
|
by the gov't and have a legitimate beef. But why must they make their
|
|
point on Columbus Day? I am tired of all these people protesting
|
|
Columbus' discovery (yeah, I know he didn't find it first - his claim to
|
|
fame is opening up the New World for settlement and commerce) of America.
|
|
To reject Columbus' discovery is to reject America and its ideals. This
|
|
country was founded on noble principles. That's all I have to say on the
|
|
matter, for now...

* Social INsecurity*
|
|
|
|
How many of you out there are counting on Social Security and
|
|
Medicare to take care of you in your old age?
|
|
Within the next 20 years, the Social Security system (and most
|
|
likely Medicare as well) will have to be drastically modified or replaced.
|
|
Representatives of Social Security even admit that Medicare is solvent only
|
|
until 2006 (That's only 14 years away), and that Social Security goes
|
|
"up for discussion" in 2032.
|
|
Social Security doesn't "save" the money you pay into it for you. It
|
|
pays current beneficiaries with the money you and others are currently paying
|
|
into it.
|
|
Back when Social Security was started in the 1930's, the ratio of
|
|
working people was 15:1. In the 1980's, it was down to 3:1. When the baby
|
|
boomers retire, it will be much worse. It is estimated that by the year
|
|
2025, the ratio will be down to 2:1 (I will not have reached retirement age
|
|
by then, and most of you reading this will not have either). By that time,
|
|
Social Security taxes will have to exceed a whopping 22% of your gross
|
|
salary!!! (That's SUI alone - you will also have to pay federal, state and
|
|
possibly local taxes.)
|
|
Efforts to increase the Social Security Trust Fund by other means
|
|
fall short. The only thing Social Security can invest in is federal
|
|
government securities, thus making future retirees merely creditors of the
|
|
bankrupt federal gov't.
|
|
ADVICE: 1. Do your own saving and investing for your retirement.
|
|
Do some reading on retirement and estate planning.
|
|
2. Pressure your Senators and Congressman to reform Social Security.
|
|
The AARP (Ass'n for the Advancement of Retired People), one of the nation's
|
|
biggest lobbies, has opposed any moves to reform SS. But - clearly THEY are
|
|
the only ones who benefit from things as they are. Even if SS survives, no
|
|
other generation will receive the level of benefits the current beneficiaries
|
|
are receiving, and Social Security representatives admit this. Also, Social
|
|
Security is raising the full benefit retirement age to 67 by 2027, in hopes
|
|
that people will remain working until then and also more people will die
|
|
before receiving Social Security.
|
|
Remember, if you send us here at ATI a SASE as described in the
|
|
our appeal for reader contact, we'll send you articles, other phun stuff,
|
|
and a free SOCIAL INSECURITY card to the first 90 people!

* the October Surprise *
|
|
|
|
Wowzerz. I just heard somewhere that the reporter who originally
|
|
exposed the October Surprise is dead. The authorities say it was a
|
|
suicide, but his wrists were slashed all the way through tendons. They
|
|
were slashed in such a way that once one wrist was cut, he couldn't have
|
|
used that arm to cut the other wrist. This is old news I guess, but it's
|
|
new to me.
|
|
Also, I just heard on Radio New York International that Pam Am
|
|
Flight 103 (the one that got blown away by terrorists over Lockerbee,
|
|
Scotland) had eight CIA agents that were enroute to testify, substantiating
|
|
the October Surprise allegations.
|
|
Can anyone give me more information about these two things?
