|
When the story on the "Young Web Programmers who committed suicide"
|
|
broke, the world was shocked ...
|
|
|
|
But morbid curiousity would turn into a nightmare for the ISP who
|
|
provided domain hosting for the cult, and the netowrk providing THEIR
|
|
service. Forty hours after the story broke, thousands of hits per
|
|
minute are STILL being recorded at their site. Worse still, the
|
|
overwhelming volume slammed the Tennessee DNS provider hosting the
|
|
site to the point that MCI's links in the southeast were interrupted
|
|
for forty-five minutes shortly after 5PM EST Thursday evening. I
|
|
personally suffered some major problems with my provider next door in
|
|
Kentucky, who himself was isolated for nearly an hour. Calls to MCI
|
|
revealed that they were indeed aware of the problem, and 'taking steps
|
|
to correct it'.
|
|
|
|
The process repeated itself again at 8PM EST when the story hit the
|
|
west coast television stations, but the outage only lasted for a few
|
|
minutes. Regardless ... a moderately heavy amount of volume basically
|
|
stormed a small DNS provider, and affected MCI's network service in
|
|
four adjacent states, proving that the internet is now pretty close to
|
|
capacity, and bandwidth upgrades at ALL points are sorely needed.
|
|
|
|
Big 'boats' like Sun, Microsoft, and the like can readily handle tens
|
|
of thousands of hits per minute, but other sites lack even the simple
|
|
infrastructure from the communications companies *themselves* to even
|
|
stay afloat should everyone rush to one side of 'their ship'.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: The news came over the television here
|
|
about 8:00 PM and their reference was to 'late this afternoon in
|
|
California' meaning, I would guess, about 4:00 pm, a couple hours
|
|
earlier by California time.
|
|
|
|
Already the sick jokes are starting on this one. Every tragedy has to
|
|
have a few sick jokes go along with it, and this one was making the
|
|
rounds by fax machine on Friday evening:
|
|
|
|
Name two major milestones in transportation technology which have
|
|
occured in the past five hundred years.
|
|
|
|
In 1492, Columbus sailed the blue ...
|
|
In 1997, spaceship rides to Heaven ...
|
|
|
|
In 1978 at the time of the Jim Jones affair, the jokes dealt with
|
|
'Kool Aid Communion'.
|
|
|
|
The media certainly has messed up this latest story. When they
|
|
broke in on the Wheel of Fortune game on ABC with the first
|
|
report, it was 'in excess of thirty young men ages 18-24, all
|
|
computer web site programmers ...' Later they decided the count
|
|
was 39 (which is, admittedly in excess of thirty) but they kept
|
|
on saying the ages were 18-24 and all of them were male and that
|
|
all were 'internet programmers on the web'. Finally on Saturday
|
|
here, they decided that actually 21 were female and 18 were male
|
|
and that the ages were middle twenties through (in one case) 72!
|
|
|
|
Well, I guess they could not have picked a better weekend for it,
|
|
this being Easter. Maybe they planned it that way. My wishes for
|
|
a happy holiday to those of you who celebrate it. PAT]

|
Subject: File 2--Heaven Gate - A Formal (HTML) Autopsy
|
|
|
|
Thirty-nine lives may be a powerful statement, if their deads and
|
|
deeds are clear and pure.
|
|
|
|
This is the judgement of their Form and Substance.
|
|
|
|
Specifically, by their works, in this case, the tangible results
|
|
are 39 dead bodies and some HTML pages.
|
|
|
|
With an autopsy, it is appropriate "to see" the objects of which
|
|
we speak and thus, here is the complete HTML for the "Heaven's
|
|
Gate - How and When It May Be Entered" page
|
|
at http://www.heavensgate.com/
|
|
|
|
---html---
|
|
|
|
The first formal comment regarding this HTML is that
|
|
there is *no* convention regarding the formal distinction
|
|
between the formal HTML Tags and substantive content of the
|
|
document. Because content may be arbitrarily capitalized,
|
|
the optimum convention for facilitating the visual distinction
|
|
and recognition between HTML Tags and document content is
|
|
to uniformally capitalize the HTML Tags, which are *not*
|
|
case sensitive.
|
|
|
|
And, at a formal level, no DOC HTML Version Tag was included.
|
|
|
|
So, now we look at the Head of the page and the title is well-formed.
|
|
( From this point on, formal comment lines will begin with "***** ". )
|
|
|
|
<head>
|
|
|
|
<title>Heaven's Gate - How and When It May Be Entered</title>

|
|
|
***** Okay, these folks are aware of Meta-Tags for facilitating hits
|
|
***** and "top-of-the-pile" retreival, hence, more potential customers.

|
|

***** Okay, so much for the Head portion.
|
|
***** Clearly, these folks understand hexadecimal arithmetic,
|
|
***** as they must, in order to even be here. Okay.
|
|
***** However, there is a horrible flaw here, in that
|
|
***** an attempt to print a hardcopy with this color scheme
|
|
***** will produce a very light and bearly readable printed page.
|
|
***** This is because text colors are quite dim relative to a
|
|
***** pure white background, which is what is used in lieu of
|
|
***** printing a complete page of black background.
|
|
***** Ironic there their work is dim when transformed from
|
|
***** the medium of CyberSpace to the medium of the printed page.

is that our Older Member in the Evolutionary Level Above Human (the

"Kingdom of Heaven") has made it clear to us that Hale-Bopp's approach

is the "marker" we've been waiting for -- the time for the arrival of

the spacecraft from the Level Above Human to take us home to "Their

World" -- in the literal Heavens. Our 22 years of classroom here on

From: Paul Kneisel <tallpaul@nyct.net>
|
|
Subject: File 3--"Response to K. Arromdee"
|
|
|
|
Ken Arromdee's defense of the 200+ news groups in <gov.*> centered on one
|
|
generic and one specific psychiatric point, specifically that I (as the
|
|
leading <gov.*> critic) am "paranoid" and that I somehow believe that the
|
|
creation of the groups is a "sinister government conspiracy" directed
|
|
against me personally.[1]
|
|
|
|
Surely the supporters of the 200+ <gov.*> new groups can do better than this!
|
|
|
|
I believe that Arromdee's personal attack is consistent with the past
|
|
approach of the Old Boys Club on Usenet, which is increasingly becoming
|
|
irrelevant as the Internet expands. John C. Dvorak of _PC Magazine_ has
|
|
described these long-time net residents as the "Newsgroup Charlies" who are
|
|
increasingly damaging meaningful discourse on the net with their
|
|
unsubstantial charges and off-topic claims. "There is a certain air to
|
|
these messages," Dvorak wrote, "as though they'd been written by someone
|
|
knowledgable. Unfortunately, it's really the air of authority without any
|
|
experience necessarily behind it. And guys like Newsgroup Charlies are
|
|
quick to flame others."[2]
|
|
|
|
In this sense then, I invite him to further develop the analysis he wants
|
|
the world to believe. I think it involves three points:
|
|
|
|
1) He should explain to everyone the education and training that qualifies
|
|
him to psychiatrically label those with whom he disagrees politically;
|
|
|
|
2) He should present the facts observable to the classical "reasonable man
|
|
[and woman]" that I am "paranoid" and that justify his conclusion that I
|
|
believe that <gov.*> is a "sinister government conspiracy" against me
|
|
personally, and;
|
|
|
|
3) He should explain what possible relevance such psychiatric
|
|
material--even if true--has on the real political issues in this case. In
|
|
other words, let us imagine that I posted to CuDigest from a hacked
|
|
computer inside Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital where I imagine I am the
|
|
Queen of England and Napoleon rolled into one. Would this change a single
|
|
thing about the nature of <gov.*> or the issues involved in its creation
|
|
and functioning?
|
|
|
|
I think that we will soon discover an additional three points: that
|
|
Arromdee has no qualifications behind his claims, that he has no data of
|
|
any sort to back his claim that I believe that <gov.*> was aimed at me
|
|
personally, and that his whole approach is nothing more than the classic
|
|
"Good Ol' Boy" flamefest aimed at critics of the Old Boys (Inter) Network
|
|
to suppress rather than expand the political debate.
|
|
|
|
The issue of "info-warfare" and its economic consequences and purposes is
|
|
not new. It existed long before the Internet. The only two basic changes
|
|
are that with the demise of the former Soviet Union it is done far more
|
|
openly and now--via developments like <gov.*>--it can use the net as a form
|
|
of transmission.
|
|
|
|
The first of these developments is advocated by such conservative thinkers
|
|
as Walter Laqueur who wrote in his article "Postmodern Terrorism" that
|
|
"America should pursue a vision of benevolent hegemony as bold as Reagan's
|
|
in the 1970s and wield its authority unabashedly."[3]
|
|
|
|
Elsewhere, Joseph S. Nye, Jr. and Admiral WIlliam Owens wrote how the
|
|
Internet could be incorporated into this process as part of an
|
|
international "soft power" strategy.[4]
|
|
|
|
One need not be paranoid to note this. The _New York Times_ printed the
|
|
early pre-net history of such federal info-interventions on its 31 March
|
|
front page.[5]
|
|
|
|
"Congress routinely appropriates tens of millions of dollars in covert and
|
|
overt money to use in influencing domestic politics abroad," Broder wrote.
|
|
"The National Endowment for Democracy, created 15 years ago to do in the
|
|
open what the C.I.A. has done surreptitiously for decades, spends $30
|
|
million a year to support things like political parties, labor unions,
|
|
dissident movements and the news media in dozens of countries, including
|
|
China."
|
|
|
|
Later in the story, Broder provided a figure of "countless billions [not
|
|
millions]" on such acts as "secret support for political parties of close
|
|
allies like Japan, fomenting coups, spreading false rumors, and swaying
|
|
public opinion."
|
|
|
|
Why shouldn't the net be used for such things, especially with so many
|
|
academics and Pentagon-thinkers advocating exactly this.
|
|
|
|
So, paranoid? Perhaps so, but then so are the editors of the _Times_. In
|
|
one sense, the editors are even more paranoid than I.
|
|
|
|
I only posted my material to <news.groups> and CuDigest. They posted theirs
|
|
to the front page of the _The New York Times_.

Nye had earlier defined "soft power" in his book _Bound to Lead: The
|
|
Changing Nature of Power in America_ as: "the ability to achieve desired
|
|
outcomes in international affairs through attraction rather than coercion.
|
|
It works by convincing others to follow, or getting them to agree to, norms
|
|
and institutions that produce the desired behavior. Soft power can rest on
|
|
the appeal of one's ideas or the ability to set the agenda in ways that
|
|
shape the preferences of others. If a state can make its power legitimate
|
|
in the perception of others and establish international institutions that
|
|
encourage them to channel or limit their activities, it may not need to
|
|
expend as many of its costly traditional economic or military resources."
