Well, here we are back again with Issue #3.


DnA / Sixth Column Meetings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the past four weeks, DnA / Sixth Column has been holding meetings for the
purpose of disucssing our goals and simply exchanging information. The first
meetings were all "core group" meetings, but this last one (June 26) was our
first "open attendance" meeting.

In attendance were myself, Lestat de Lioncourt, Arclight and his brother,
Mach5, Corwin, Chaos Bit, Phax, Vandal, Renegage, and Highlander. The meeting
was a resounding success, and much important information was exchanged, and
plans layed out for future Column Operations.

These meetings are not in any way elitist - ANYONE MAY COME! We are based in
the South Orange County, California area, so if you are near us, or want to
drive on down, feel free to come to one. We welcome anyone who supports our
cause, or just wants more information so they can decide for themselves
whether or not to support the Cause. We can promise you will not be
disappointed.

The meetings (currently) are held at the Round Table Pizza located on the
northeast corner of Warner & Euclid in Fountain Valley, CA in the private
meeting room on Saturdays from 7pm until whenever we feel like leaving. If
you plan to attend, please call DnA Systems to check if the location has
changed, and to let us know you're coming.




Quote of the month: "Know your rights, or else you won't have any."



---------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT!!!  -  READ THIS SECTION OR ELSE!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many people have heard stories of the coming Revolution and most consider it
a pipe-dream of the extreme Left Wing. I was one of them, about a year ago.
When my friend Chaos first mentioned the Revolution to me I said "Yeah,
sure, what a bunch of bullshit. It'll never happen".  Then I noticed that an
EXTREEEEEMMEEE **RIGHT** WING magazine, National Review, mentioned the
Revolution in practically every issue!  Then I thought "Wait a second, if
BOTH the Left and the Right are in agreement on the Revolution, it WILL
happen".  Now, with the HUGE let-down of the Clinton administration, even
the common, everyday, non-political working-class dude is starting to think
that SERIOUS, RADICAL (and yes, very likely violent) change must happen
soon.

Why am I mentioning this? Well, for one, I whole-heartedly support the
Revolution, and cannot wait for it to come. And for another, I want everyone
to be aware that it's not just the Left that's talking about this. The Right
agrees also. Of course, both sides are expecting to get different things
from the Revolution, but that's fine - there's plenty of room for both
sides. I want everyone out there in the hacker underground to be aware that
it's coming, and prepare for it. Computers may be the only communication
method available during the fighting, the only way for information to flow.
Practice your hacking skills. Being able to hack into Government (read: THE
ENEMY) computers will be an extremely useful skill. Also, be ready to fight!
If you can't get guns, get swords, baseball bats, knives, crossbows,
whatever you can use to kill or seriously injure someone. "Be Prepared"
should be every Revolutionary's motto.

So, you're a normal hacker dude, not at all interested in politics. "Why
should I care about the Revolution?" you ask.  Well, there are several
reasons that  [1] you should care about it  and  [2] you should support it!

[1] You should be aware of it because one day, widespread rioting is going
to break out. You will be shot at and attacked with fists and weapons. You
must be prepared for this. And don't think that this is going to be
restricted to the USA - NOT TRUE!  I predict that the Revolution will sweep
the globe, transforming what were once enemy countries into one huge global
community. Prepare now. Even if you don't support it, or even if you don't
believe it will happen, at least get a gun and know how to use it.

[2] The reasons for supporting a Revolution are many and you don't have a
big enough hard drive to store all the info. However, let's start with a
very simple and mild example:

  The whole idea of paying for water is absurd. I mean, God (or Nature, or
  WHATEVER you believe in), put the water here. No one "makes" it. It just
  EXISTS. Why the hell should we PAY for it?  "Well, we gotta pay for the
  pipes and all that shit!" you say.  I say "bullshit!". All that shit has
  been in place for years now, and has been paid for 100,000,000 times over.
  Also, the Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power has been saying for years
  "Oh, there's NO water, so we have to triple your rates again. We're soooo
  sorry!" - FUCKING BULLSHIT!  Look around you. Do you not see water
  everywhere? I do. Shortage my ass!  Water is fucking everywhere, and more
  falls all the time. The stupid bureaucratic water companies just want to
  make more and more and more and more money at your expense - and they're
  bribing the Government to make it easier to rape us! This whole concept
  applies to phone service, electrical service, gas, what-have-you - they're
  all NATURAL resources (phone service is just electric wires!) - and should
  be almost, if not totally FREE.

This is a very simple and very mild example. But, this combined with the
100,000 other little ones makes for very pissed off people. Pissed off
people will eventually do something about it. In the USA, there's the issue
of taxes. We pay around 33% of all our incomes to taxes. We're told this is
so that we can pay our police to protect us, our teachers to teach our
young, and our Government to protect us from other countries and make our
economy strong. Well, I have NEWS for them - CRIME is EVERYWHERE, 75% of
school kids can't even find their own state on a fucking map (let alone
READ!), and our Government is just lining their pockets, and are more
concerned with what we're doing then watching what other countries are doing
and worrying about the (fucked) economy. Yes, that's right - THE GOVERNMENT
IS SPYING ON YOU! Somehow, in some small way, they are watching you. They
know more about you than your girlfriend (or boyfriend, or whatever). And
you're paying for the stuff they're using to gather all this info. Makes you
feel REAL proud of the US government, doesn't it? The Government knows that
information is power, and so must you.

So, you're probably wondering how you, an insignificant hacker in a huge
world can do about such a big thing. Well, you can prepare yourself. Gather
info. KNOW what the Government is up to. KNOW where their main computer
centers are located. KNOW how to break into systems. KNOW how to bring them
crashing down without warning. BE READY to do this, at a moment's notice,
with nothing more than a dumb terminal, a modem, and phone service. KNOW how
to fight. If you can't get guns, or don't like them, learn other ways to
fight. Swords, knives, bats, sticks, etc, will probably be common weapons
during the Revolution. Even if you are a gun freak (as I am), you should
STILL learn other ways, because the DAMNED government KNOWS where all the
guns are. They tell us that they want all guns registered for our
protection, but is that really the case?  I don't think so!  Read every
single anarchy file you can find. Know how to blow things up using common
household (or easily obtainable) stuff. DO NOT be afraid to kill. It will
become a "kill or be killed" world for a while. Be ready. Don't stand alone.
Find a group of like minded individuals (they're everywhere, trust me) and
hang out with them. There is safety and victory in numbers. Five dudes with
baseball bats should be able to easily wipe out two cops with guns - they
can't kill you all, and plus - they'll be scared shitless. Get (or make)
some kind of armor. Kevlar is nice - let them shoot you - your Kevlar will
save you. If you can't get Kevlar, make metal arm and leg guards, and get
some type of helmet. With the right helmet, someone can nail you on the head
with a bat, and you'll still be conscious, not in too much pain, and able to
strike back.

Just remember, whether or not you believe the Revolution is coming, it will.
And sooner than you might think. People are sick and tired of the world the
way it is, and it's got to change - radically. The only way is through
Revolution, and once people realize that (and MANY MANY of them are already
starting to), it will happen. BE READY!





  The Scam-of-the-Month Club
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This month's scam involves obtaining free AC power service and free
telephone service. This may not work in other states, as other states may
not have the items you're going to use to get this service, but I KNOW it's
"do-able" in California.

There are a few things you will need:

[a] BALLS - This involves, in some cases, serious danger of personal injury,
even DEATH if you fuck up.

[b] A portable computer that you don't mind lugging around - preferably a
laptop or notebook that can run on batteries - the free AC power may not
always be obtainable.

[c] A modem for said computer - make a "dataBeige Box" for the modem - this
is simply a modular cord plugged into the modem, and instead of a mod plug
on the other end, it has alligator clips just like a regular Beige Box.

[d] Some electronic knowledge - you may have to cut the AC line and splice
in to get the power - THIS IS DANGEROUS - BE CAREFUL


Ok, with that out of the way, on with the scam. Ever notice those electronic
freeway signs? Yeah, the ones with the "dot matrix" text on them that change
every day or so... Ever wonder how they change that text? Through the phone.
Ever wonder how it gets power? Through regular 110VAC current, just like
your house.

What you do is find one that's on a section of freeway near lots of trees.
Go on the side of the freeway, into the bushes near where the sign would be
if it weren't hanging out over the freeway. You should find a phone line and
an AC power line. Splice into the phone line with your dataBeige Box, and
try your modem out. It should work, and you should now be able to dial
anywhere in the world for free. Well, not exactly free... YOU (or your
parents if you're a kid and don't work) are paying for that phone line
through taxes. Anyway, it's free phone service.

As for the AC part, some of them will have a regular AC wall socket just
like your house, and you can plug in and use it. If not, you'll have to
splice in with a tap and use it that way. This is very dangerous, and if you
don't know how to do it, don't try because you could DIE if you fuck up.

I know a group of homeless CyberPunks living in a camp near one such
location, and they call out all over the world for free, and have free AC
power to run whatever they want.

Also, some of them don't have the lines running down to the side of the
freeway, they're run down through the pole right into the ground. In this
case, the only thing to do would be to climb out onto the sign itself and do
it from there. This is exceptionally dangerous, since if you DO fall, and
even if you survive that sudden stop at the end, you will be ON THE FREEWAY
and will most likely get run over by several cars moving at very high speeds
before the coroner comes to hose you off the pavement. I would recommend
finding another sign. I've only found 2 that don't have the lines run to the
side of the freeway.



Last Minute Update: CitiBank Revisited
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know the CitiBank rips are probably getting quite old for some of you, but
my god, they make it so easy, and their abuses are so heinous.

Well, ShittyBank's done it again - a new commercial. This is the one where
they talk to all these Happy Loyal CitiBank Customers (i.e., paid actors) and
they say how great CitiBank is...


"CitiBank Customer Service Employees are so nice!" - Yeah, and for 21%
interest, they damn well better be!

"Their anti-fraud program makes me feel really safe - I know they're
interested in protecting me." - No they're not, they're interested in
protecting themselves, because you're not liable anyway if someone uses your
card. They're only acting in their own best interest.

"And they even put my picture on the card!" Yeah? So fucking what? And for
this you pay 21% interest?

I really can not believe how scummish ShittyBank is. Actually, all credit
card companies are scum, so if you MUST have a credit card, get the NRA Visa
Card - at least then 8% of your money is going to a good cause.
