||
Subject: File 1--Law enforcement in the Elansky case
|
||
|
||
Although the arrest of Mike Elansky, a/k/a "Ionizer", is probably the
|
||
cause of haste and presumption on the part of the West Hartford police
|
||
department, I can not necessarily blame them for putting him in jail
|
||
in the first place.
|
||
|
||
For example, let's look at the note included in the instructions for
|
||
the file (without the annoying !'s and spaces):
|
||
|
||
"Note to law-enforcement type people: This file is
|
||
intended to promote general havoc and *ANARCHY*,
|
||
and since your going to be the first assholes up
|
||
against the wall.. there isnt a damn thing you can do
|
||
about it, pigs!"
|
||
|
||
If you look at other "anarchy" files, such as those in Phrack or other
|
||
underground publications available in the CuD archives, they are
|
||
carefully worded to say nothing of the sort written above. A
|
||
disclaimer would usually include "I am not responsible for the
|
||
information presented within" and "use at your own risk" type
|
||
messages.
|
||
|
||
The first line of the note says, "This file is intended to promote
|
||
general havoc and *ANARCHY* . . ." In a law enforcement officer's
|
||
point of view, this looks like encouragement of violence to me, and to
|
||
draw such an example, look at the rapper Ice T and his famous "Cop
|
||
Killer" song.
|
||
|
||
Havoc, defined in Webster's Dictionary (1993 ed.), is "great
|
||
destruction or devastation". This note certainly looks like
|
||
encouragement of violence to me.
|
||
|
||
However, this is not to say Elansky is responsible for the file at
|
||
all, since he didn't write it, it was merely uploaded. Since an
|
||
author was not specified (I don't know if one was or not since I have
|
||
not seen the file in question), the police department either assumed
|
||
that he wrote it or that he endorsed it.
|
||
|
||
Does the file warrant such a large bond? No, but the prosecutor was
|
||
probably seeking more sensationalism here then anything else.
|
||
|
||
The International Information Retrieval Guild (IIRG), which Elansky
|
||
belongs to, is trying to raise funds for bond. However, it burned me
|
||
to see the IIRG lines in file 3 of CuD issue 5.69:
|
||
|
||
"Buy His Freedom, Stop Government Censorship"
|
||
"If we do not stop the government in its attempts to censor
|
||
the public, we have abandoned what it truly means to be
|
||
a Freedom Loving American".
|
||
|
||
Government censorship really has nothing to do with the arrest, was
|
||
you claim it was the West Hartford Police Department, which hardly
|
||
qualifies to be the government. Plus, this is not censorship, it's
|
||
the police trying to protect the public.
|
||
|
||
Note I said "trying".

|
||
Subject: File 2--The Elansky Case and the (edited) Anarchy Files Reprinted
|
||
|
||
In CuD 5.69, we reported the status of Mike Elansky, the University of
|
||
Hartford student and sysop of the Ware House BBS who was charged with
|
||
"bomb-making recipes" in West Hartford Superior Court on August 2,
|
||
1993. The felony charges and the accompanying $500,000 bond, seem to
|
||
be the result of exercising First Amendment rights.
|
||
|
||
As of Sunday, 12 September, Elansky remained in jail. According to his
|
||
father, David Elansky, Mike's pre-trial hearing is scheduled for 23
|
||
September, and it may be several weeks before he is released. The
|
||
relevant warrants and other information are reportedly sealed, making
|
||
information about the case more difficult to obtain. According to the
|
||
arrest warrant, defense attorney Dick Brown, Elansky's parents, the
|
||
media, and Elansky himself, the charges result from two "anarchy
|
||
files" available on Elansky's BBS. David Elansky reports that he has
|
||
been in contact with Mike Godwin of the EFF, and that Godwin has been
|
||
exceptionally helpful.
|
||
|
||
The files, written by "Deth Vegetable" over three years ago in Volume
|
||
1 (issues #1 and #2) of "Anarchy for Fun and Profit," contain little,
|
||
if any, information not obtainable from a student who has completed a
|
||
highschool chemistry course. Virtually all of the information
|
||
contained in the files is readily available to the public from a
|
||
variety of sources ranging from the t.v. program "MacGyver" to the
|
||
"Anarchist's Cookbook." If Elansky is found guilty on charges stemming
|
||
from possession and dissemination of these documents, then the
|
||
producers of MacGyver and the network and its affiliates should also
|
||
be brought up on similar charges. As, too, should "Mr. Wizard" and
|
||
similar programs. If existing public information is correct, it
|
||
appears that these documents are the primary source of evidence
|
||
against Elansky. If existing reports are correct, the implications of
|
||
the case are frightening for supporters of the First Amendment. There
|
||
are also discomforting questions regarding the legal process. Among
|
||
them:
|
||
|
||
1) How are electronic publishers to protect themselves against
|
||
prosecutors who might hold electronic media to a lower threshold of
|
||
First Amendment protections than other media? If Elansky is being
|
||
punished for possessing and making such information available, why
|
||
aren't tv stations, libraries, highschool chemistry teachers, and
|
||
others, also held liable? Is it permissable for a juvenile to
|
||
purchase the information in "anarchy files" in a book store, or learn
|
||
the information in highschool courses, but illegal when they do so
|
||
electronically?
|
||
|
||
2) It appears that the prosecutor's charges stem from gross ignorance
|
||
of electronic media and text files. For example, it appears that the
|
||
following text from each file was adduced as significant in the
|
||
"evidence" leading to Elansky's arrest, and the implication in
|
||
the arrest warrant was that Elansky was responsible for writing them:
|
||
|
||

|
||
%--------------------------------------/
|
||
|
||
According to documents we have received, it seems obvious that Elansky
|
||
did not himself write this. This is something easily checked by
|
||
comparing the Ware House files with the "Anarchy for fun and Profit"
|
||
files uploaded elsewhere. The passages were written in the original
|
||
files, not added later. Further, the original author, as we note
|
||
below, affirms that the introduction was in the original and was
|
||
INTENDED AS SATIRE. As the reprints of the files below indicate, the
|
||
context of the quotes supports this claim, and the passages are far
|
||
more benign when read in the context of the entire introduction.
|
||
There is absolutely no malice in the files, and the only reference to
|
||
law enforcement (or anybody else) is contained in the snippets cited
|
||
above. How can electronic publishers protect themselves against
|
||
prosecutors who use the law to attack "ASCII demons" when what they in
|
||
fact attack may be satire, adolescent posturing, or simply bad taste?
|
||
|
||
3) Should Elansky be in jail? Alan Dunkin (post #1, this issue) raises
|
||
an interesting point. Although we strongly disagree with his
|
||
conclusions, he correctly reminds us that, whatever their own hidden
|
||
agendas, law enforcement officials are entrusted with protecting the
|
||
commonweal. When they perceive evidence of danger, they are bound by
|
||
their mandate to respond, whether reactively or proactively. However,
|
||
not all reactions are wise reactions. Some will remind us that Elansky
|
||
was not a saint. The Hartford Courant (3 Aug, 1993) reports that, at
|
||
age 16 (1988), Elansky was charged with "illegal use of credit cards,
|
||
computer crime, larceny, illegal possession of fireworks, manufacture
|
||
of bombs, and other crimes." From the information we have obtained,
|
||
the charges are far, far less serious than the list suggests, and his
|
||
primary offense, according to the paper, was fraudulently obtaining
|
||
merchandise with credit card numbers taken from Radio Shack
|
||
dumpsters. Such actions cannot be condoned, and as his father
|
||
reportedly said to a Hartford Courant reporter, his son "got himself
|
||
in trouble and he deserved whatever happened." However, the senior
|
||
Elansky added that, since then, his son has been repeatedly hassled by
|
||
police (Hartford Courant, 3 Aug, 1993). Nonetheless, it might be
|
||
argued that, given his past record and the introductory snippets to
|
||
pyrotechnic instructions, the police acted properly in arresting
|
||
Elansky.
|
||
|
||
We reject this claim for several reasons. First, there is a difference
|
||
between arrest and investigation. Simply posting anarchy files, even
|
||
those that include pyrotechnic instructions, on a BBS is not a crime.
|
||
Even if Elansky had written the files, it would not be a crime. Even
|
||
if others downloaded it (and existing download logs suggest that the
|
||
prosecutor's claim that a juvenile did so may be less convincing than
|
||
first claimed), it is not necessarily a crime. Second, if Elansky did
|
||
not commit a crime, he should not have been arrested. If his crime
|
||
was, as it appears, simply exercising First Amendment rights, then his
|
||
arrest is a travesty of justice. If it turns out that his "crime" was
|
||
a technical violation of probation or of a local ordinance, then it
|
||
seems that the $500,000 bond was outrageous and an abuse of
|
||
prosecutorial power. Given the existing facts in the case, it remains
|
||
inconceivable how the prosecution can justify its actions on the basis
|
||
of the anarchy files in question. Third, CuD has obtained copies of
|
||
the files in question. While they do provide primitive pyrotechnic
|
||
instructions, they in no way advocate violence, suggest uses for the
|
||
devices, or make any mention of police other than in the cited
|
||
introductory snippets. Finally, the issue isn't Elansky, but the
|
||
chilling effect that the West Hartford incident has for freedom of
|
||
expression. As noted by the files' original author below, it makes not
|
||
a soupcon of difference whether Elansky is an innocent babe or not.
|
||
The issue is that IT APPEARS THAT HE HAS BEEN SINGLED OUT FOR
|
||
PUNISHMENT FOR POSTINGS TO WHICH A PROSECUTOR, NOT THE LAW, OBJECTS.
|
||
|
||
4) The proceedings in the case also raise questions. As in
|
||
many previous computer-culture cases, the prosecutor has sealed
|
||
documents that would otherwise be public. Those close to the incident
|
||
report that Elansky was deprived of counsel and "railroaded" through
|
||
parts of the process. The prosecutor seems to recklessly misrepresent
|
||
the nature of the files. And, it appears that the West Hartford police
|
||
may actually be "out to get" Elansky. It was reported to us by sources
|
||
close to the situation that on the day that questionable charges
|
||
against Elansky were to be dropped for a prior case, the new charges
|
||
were brought against him as he went to court on the original charges.
|
||
If so, then it appears that computer culture becomes a convenient
|
||
means of creating virtual demons in lieu of hard evidence. The more
|
||
we learn about the case and the law enforcement initiative, the more
|
||
disturbing it becomes.
|
||
|
||
The "Offending" Anarchy Files
|
||
|
||
Look as we will for some hidden evidence or rationale to explain
|
||
Elansky's arrest, we can find nothing other than the anarchy files and
|
||
the introductory snippet addressing law enforcement. The original
|
||
author of the files confirms our original interpretation that the
|
||
introduction was a spoof, and he seems astonished that anyone could
|
||
take it as a serious threat. He also confirms that the information in
|
||
the files is essentially a highschool chemistry synopsis:
|
||
|
||
11 Sept '93
|
||
|
||
The file in question, "Anarchy for Fun and Profit #2," was
|
||
written by me 3 - 4 years ago. I am really more embarrassed
|
||
by the files than anything else. They were written by me
|
||
when I was in my "d00d" stage, a time of my life that I'd
|
||
just as soon forget. As to where the info was obtained
|
||
from, well, I have not even owned a copy of the file in
|
||
question in over two years, and honestly did not think
|
||
ANYONE had them anymore. But, as I remember, most of the
|
||
plans were taken from a Chemistry text (the chemical
|
||
reactions ones such as Nitrogen Tri-Iodide, or Thermite,
|
||
etc. I don't remember what was in this particular file). As
|
||
I remember, I'd tried almost all of the plans with a few
|
||
exceptions. (one notable exception being the Hydrogen
|
||
Peroxide device, which I later learned would not work
|
||
anyway, not with Household HO2 anyway. simply too weak a
|
||
solution.)
|
||
|
||
As for the "disclaimer" bit at the beginning, to be
|
||
perfectly honest, I am very surprised that anyone would take
|
||
that seriously. It was meant to be a facetious spoof of all
|
||
those "For Informational Purposes Only!" disclaimers that
|
||
abound on most files of the time. Hah. I should have known
|
||
the cops wouldn't have a sense of humor.
|
||
|
||
I am very, very sorry for Mr. Elansky's current position. I
|
||
cannot help but feel a little responsible for this poor guy
|
||
sitting in jail. At the same time, I believe that my files
|
||
were just a convenient target for the Police, and if mine
|
||
hadn't been there, they would have gotten Mike Elansky for
|
||
possessing someone else's files.
|
||
|
||
They are attempting to "make an example of" Mike Elansky.
|
||
In other words, they aim to set a legal precedent for
|
||
violation of our First Amendment rights. No one can
|
||
seriously claim that my files were aimed specifically
|
||
against Law Enforcement agents. That's just plain silly. The
|
||
only way a Police Officer would be injured through my files
|
||
is if they went out and tried to make one of those things
|
||
and it blew up in their face.
|
||
|
||
Another thing that kind of bothers me, is that it has been
|
||
said that the media is ignoring Mike Elansky because "he is
|
||
not exactly an angel", so to speak. That doesn't matter! I
|
||
don't care if the man killed 24 people with a plastic picnic
|
||
spoon. His possession of this file is NOT illegal, and his
|
||
arrest and subsequent jailing prior to trial is COMPLETELY
|
||
and utterly Unconstitutional. To be perfectly honest, it
|
||
makes me feel very ashamed that this kind of thing happens
|
||
in America.
|
||
|
||
"Land of the Free." Yeah. Tell that to Mike Elansky.

Whatever one thinks of such files, the files in question, as are most
|
||
of the anarchy files we've read (and we can think off-hand of
|
||
virtually no exceptions), were written with the passion of youth
|
||
exploring their knowledge, pushing the limits of conventional norms,
|
||
but falling well within legal limits of protected speech, as Carl
|
||
Kadie suggests:

||
Subject--Constitutional protection for speech that advocates violence
|
||
|
||
This is a summary ACLU's Bill of Rights Briefing Paper #10:
|
||
Freedom of Expression. (Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer.)
|
||
|
||
In 1919 the Court agreed that there was no constitutional
|
||
protection for speech that advocates violence. Indeed, it
|
||
want even farther saying that any speech that had a
|
||
'tendency' to cause a violation of the law could be punished.
|
||
This principle was used to convict a Socialist for mailing
|
||
antiwar leaflets.
|
||
|
||
In 1925 the Court established stronger speech protections,
|
||
stating that speech could not be punished unless it
|
||
presented 'a clear a present danger' of imminent harm. In
|
||
1931, this was used to overturn a conviction based on a
|
||
California law. That law make it illegal to publicly
|
||
salute a red flag -- the symbol of (violent) revolution.
|
||
|
||
In 1950's during the second Red Scare, the Court backtracked
|
||
saying that the clear-and-present-danger principle did not
|
||
apply to speakers who advocated overthrowing the government,
|
||
no matter how remote the danger of such an occurrence might
|
||
be. (This paved the way for jailing political activists,
|
||
loyalty oaths, etc).
|
||
|
||
In the 1969 case of Brandenberg v. Ohio, the Supreme Court
|
||
struck down the conviction of a Ku Klux Klan member under a
|
||
criminal syndicalism law and established a new standard:
|
||
Speech may not be suppressed or punished unless it is
|
||
intended to produce 'imminent lawless action' and it is
|
||
'likely to produce such action.' Otherwise, the First
|
||
Amendment protects even speech that advocates violence. The
|
||
Brandenberg test is the law today.
|
||
|
||
[See ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/civil-liberty/freedom-of-expression.aclu
|
||
for the full text of the ACLU Briefing Paper
|
||
|
||
Now, let's take a closer look at the offending text. The snippet in
|
||
the second file repeats the text of the first with some elaboration,
|
||
and is considered the most offensive:
|
||
|
||
Note to Law-enforcement type people:
|
||
This file is intended to promote
|
||
general havoc and *ANARCHY*, and
|
||
since your going to be the first
|
||
assholes up against the wall.. there
|
||
isnt a damn thing you can do about
|
||
it, pigs!
|
||
|
||
The first sentence addresses the audience. The second, especially in
|
||
the context of the introduction (see reproduction of files below) is
|
||
an obviously adolescent satirical statement that of itself makes no
|
||
argument for "general havoc," and is no more a call for "havoc" than
|
||
the Beatles' "Revolution #9" is a call for overthrowing the republic,
|
||
than Johnny Paycheck's "Take this Job and Shove it" is a call for
|
||
workplace violence, or hundreds of other artistic depictions of
|
||
"havoc" are a call to anarchy. As forms of expression, anarchy files
|
||
display the rebelliousness of youth in peaceful, albeit simplistic,
|
||
ways, and the above, as an art form, is hardly approaching the
|
||
criteria that would classify it as unprotected speech. Is it a
|
||
"crime" to claim that police will be the first "assholes up against
|
||
the wall"? The snippet doesn't advocate violence against police, it
|
||
simply parrots a sixties mentality found in such chants as "Off the
|
||
Pigs." It is certainly less offensive than legal t-shirts with
|
||
graphics such as "kill a faggot for christ," "Nuke war-resistors," and
|
||
others exhorting violence against non-law enforcement agents.
|
||
|
||
We will let readers judge for themselves whether the files constitute
|
||
sufficient danger to warrant the charges and excessive bail that
|
||
apparently stemmed from them.
|
||
|
||
The files are as they appeared in the original, although CuD editors
|
||
HAVE EDITED/DELETED the actual pyrotechnic instructions. We have
|
||
deleted nothing else. The files DO NOT contain any exhortations other
|
||
than what we reproduce. ONLY the actual instructions are removed. The
|
||
first file was originally 13,732 K, and the second 9,904 K. The
|
||
instructions themselves were generally between 5-10 lines (up to 100
|
||
words) long, and not highly detailed.
|
||
|
||
Our decision to delete the actual instructions rests on several
|
||
factors. First, we are not concerned with legal implications.
|
||
After all, the information in the files is commonplace and can be found
|
||
in chemistry texts, libraries, and other sources. Rather, we are in
|
||
full accord with those who are concerned about the possibility of
|
||
children obtaining such information. As an ethical matter, we feel
|
||
this is one instance were publishing restraint on our part is
|
||
necessary. Second, publishing the instructions risks shifting the
|
||
focus of attention from the First Amendment issues to debates over the
|
||
propriety of presenting the files in toto. We can assure readers that
|
||
there is nothing in the instructions that cannot be found on numerous
|
||
other BBSes, both as a complete file and as individual excerpts. In
|
||
fact, a Norton text search (ts) of just a few megs of anarchy files
|
||
suggests a surprising similarity and "borrowing" from among the
|
||
authors of text files.
|
||
|
||
We cannot send out copies of the two files to individuals--not because
|
||
of any fundamental principal involved, but because we simply don't
|
||
have the time. Check your favorite "anarchy" BBS and you'll find them
|
||
and many more.

In this issue we will be dealing with the recreational or fun explosives,
|
||
the Plans for offensive devices <landmines, letterbombs, pipebombs, etc..> I
|
||
will include in Issue 2. Of course anyone with an IQ high enough to melt Ice
|
||
can figure the stuff out how to make the things included here into said
|
||
offensive devices, i wont actually include the plans. Well, I'll cut the
|
||
Babbling and get on to the good stuff.....

well OK, these have all been fairly simple experiments. I have tried them all

many times and they work just fine BE VERY VERY CAREFUL! especially with the

Napalm bomb, that is the most dangerous one included here. I suggest that
|

anyone who doesnt have much experience in chemistry and Explosives, READ THE
|
||
PYRO SERIES OF TEXTFILES! these are the best guide for beginners that i have

encountered.

You have asked recently about BBS and other sites carrying the CuD.
|
||
My own board Just Mooting carries them (fully indexed) along with several
|
||
other e-papers.
|
||
|

The board is presently open to all callers without charge 24 hours.

|
||
Subject--FTP THRU BITNET AND INTERNET
|
||
|
||
Since some people may wish to access some CuD info at ftp sites, but
|
||
may not have access to ftp (like me), I am sending a message I received
|
||
off the list EMAILMAN.
|
||
|

||
To: Multiple recipients of list EMAILMAN
|
||
<EMAILMAN@VTVM1.CC.VT.EDU>
|
||
|
||
There are services that will do FTP transfers by email for those
|
||
not having access to the FTP command. One of the most popular is
|
||
at DEC in the US. Send a message to:
|
||
|
||
ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com
|
||
|
||
and put the word HELP in the text fo your message. This mailbox
|
||
will send you the instructions and available commands for
|
||
perfoming a batch FTP. However, as Internet mail only supports
|
||
7-bit encoding, all binary files are sent UUENCODEd, so you will
|
||
need to have a proper UUDECODE program in your PC in order to use
|
||
the requested file. There is one in Compuserve (I think in the
|
||
Telecommunications Forum) called UU520.ZIP which is very good.
|
||
If you don't find it, try the IBMFF forum and search by UUENCODE
|
||
or UUDECODE.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, if your access to INTERNET is by BITNET, there is a
|
||
similar and preferred service at:
|
||
|
||
BITFTP@PUCC.BITNET
|
||
|
||
I hope this helps.
