described as white-supremacist, Christian fundamentalist anarchism. They are
a loose-knit bunch, so it's hard to make universally true generalizations
about them; but many members are also involved in the white-supremacist
fundamentalist religious cult of "Identity" Christianity, which teaches that
white Anglo-Saxons are the true descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel, and
that contemporary Jews are diabolical impostors. I understand that they are
an offshoot of an earlier terrorist group called the "Minutemen," which
operated more publicly and was scotched in the late '60s or early '70s for
weapons violations.
They also have some bizarre legal and Constitutional beliefs: some of these
are familiar crackpot theories like the gold standard; but they also claim
that just about every Constitutional amendment after the Civil War is somehow
illegal and the work of Zionist bankers. The "true" Constitution is founded
on something they call "Christian common law," and laws they disagree with
are the work of a conspiracy.
They use these claims to recruit white people who have legal or financial
problems, claiming that they have discovered secret legal theories that, when
revealed, will convince the courts that the income tax is illegal; or that
their mortgages are invalid; or that they don't need a driver's licence to
drive, etc., etc. They sell briefs and pleadings that allegedly will compel
the courts to recognize these claims. Since self-interest clouds peoples'
judgment so easily, some are persuaded that these opinions represent the
"true" meaning of the law and Constitution. They were active throughout the
Midwest during the farm credit problems in the mid 1980's; they also form
one of the cores of the tax-protest movement.
They also encourage their followers to file meritless pro-se lawsuits against
banks, IRS officials, and anybody else who opposes them; and to record
eccentric screeds in the land title offices, declaring "Christian common-law"
liens against their opponents' property, or "Allodial land patents",
proclaiming their own land to be an independent county beyond the jurisdiction
of the United States government. Of course, all their claims lose sooner or
later. The Courts, especially the Federal courts, have learned to recognize
this material and dispose of it quickly, often enjoining the perpetual
plaintiffs from filing more without leave of court.
But the next step is to convince people that the reason the courts have turned
a blind eye to the "true" meaning of the Constitution, &c., is because they
are controlled by the Jewish/Illuminati Conspiracy. They call the U.S.
government "ZOG," meaning the "Zionist Occupational Government." From here we
move into the relatively familiar territory of white-supremacist conspiracy
theories, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and the Illuminati.
Were this the extent of their activity, they would be merely harmless
nuisances. But they also buy into long-exploded theories about the "true"
meaning of the Second Amendment, and form armed survivalist cells willing to
violently resist enforcement of ZOG's laws. Their great martyr, Gordon Kahl,
killed a sheriff and died in a firefight with law enforcement officers; they
have killed or claimed to have killed a number of other law enforcement
officers and IRS agents, and people moved by this belief system have died
violently in shootouts with the police. In 1982 eight Posse members were
jailed for plotting to kill a Federal judge and bomb the IRS office in Denver,
Colorado.
They have also been caught up in litigation involving "barter banks" they have
set up, in order to pay members' bills without leaving a paper trail for the
IRS; Federal agents have seized stockpiles of gold and silver they have
hoarded as parts of these schemes; I understand that these may still be in
litigation.
Now, as it relates to WWIVnet specifically:
One of the believers in this stuff, who has posted messages that display a
disconcerting familiarity with Posse ideology and beliefs, has gone past
merely advocating these beliefs on the network. I have enough respect for
freedom of speech that I would not recommend any action against a BBS because
a user, or even its sysop, believed in this trash. But I think that this
particular user and system have crossed the line. He has started posting
advertisements on the sub-board, advertising for sale (for $20.00 apiece) a
"Traffic Motion for Dismissal" that allegedly will make you exempt from having
to get a license to drive.
I believe that this constitutes the unlicensed practice of law, and represents
the use of WWIVnet to advertise and promote illegal activity.
I also believe the sysop of the system he is using for this supports him; I
know he has turned over an entire message base on his system to the individual
who is selling this material; and he claims to have some similar files
available for download.
Do I have general agreement that this sort of thing is an inappropriate use of
the network? I'd like to have other people's feel for this before I take it
up with the system's AC and GC. I make no secret about the fact that I have
tangled with these fellows and had flaming responses to and from them in the
past on the subboard in question. I also admit that I personally consider
neo-Nazis, anti-Semites and Holocaust revisionists to be among the most
loathsome examples of human vermin I can imagine. So I admit my own personal
judgment may be clouded here.
But I submit that advocacy and instruction in the illegal activities of Posse
Comitatus, and the offer of bogus legal pleadings for sale over the network,
is something that does not belong here.

│ Filo's Mod of the Month │
│ by Filo (1@2050) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The Mod of the Month is selected by Filo and represents his choice of what
appears to be the most promising mod posted during the past month on the Modnet
(subtype 2370). UUencoded mods are not considered for selection as part of the
mod of the month due to the difficulty of including them in the WWIVnews. Mods
which involve the use of related files such as ENHANCE.C, or any of the
various COMMON type files are also not considered due to the amount of space
required to include them here. Many of these mods have NOT been tested by Filo
and are selected based on their description as a promising, practical mod.
The mod for March-April was submitted by Dave Wallace:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Dave Wallace #1 @5806
Mon Feb 28 19:37:05 1994
Identifier: DAW2318A
Name: QRZ.MOD
By: Dave Wallace (1@5806)
Purpose: This mod will display the list of all users with amateur
radio callsigns. (What's the point of asking for the data
otherwise?)
Version: Revision A
Issue Date: 02-28-94
Target: WWIV Version 4.23
Status: Initial release
Difficulty: Relatively simple
Description: When a user types //QRZ (QRZ is the ham abbreviation for "who
is calling?" or "who is on this frequency?"), the userlist is
scanned and all currently-active accounts whose callsign field
is not empty are listed.
Revision A: The original release restricted the use of //QRZ to co-sysop
and above users. This version, by moving the command-invoking
code to a bit further down in the mainmenu function, allows
any user to view the list of hams.
Key:
/* =QRZ */ find this line
// -QRZ delete this line
/* +QRZ */ add this line
Installation:
1. In BBS.C, add the following new function at the top, just before
int checkpw(void):
/* +QRZ */ void list_hams(void)
/* +QRZ */ {
/* +QRZ */ int i, abort;
/* +QRZ */ userrec u;
/* +QRZ */ char s1[51];
/* +QRZ */
/* +QRZ */ abort=0;
/* +QRZ */ nl();
/* +QRZ */ pla(" \003"
/* +QRZ */ "4 Users with Ham Radio Callsigns ", &abort);
/* +QRZ */ pla(" \003"
/* +QRZ */ "4 User's Handle Callsign ", &abort);
/* +QRZ */ if (okansi()) {
/* +QRZ */ pla(" \003"
/* +QRZ */ "4╔════════════════════════════════╦══════════╗", &abort);
/* +QRZ */ } else {
/* +QRZ */ pla(" \003"
/* +QRZ */ "4+--------------------------------+----------+", &abort);
/* +QRZ */ }
/* +QRZ */ read_status();
/* +QRZ */ for (i=0; (i<status.users) && (!abort) && (!hangup); i++) {
/* +QRZ */ read_user(i,&u);
/* +QRZ */ if ((u.inact != inact_deleted) && (u.callsign[0])) {
/* +QRZ */ sprintf(s1," \003"
/* +QRZ */ "4%c %-30s %c %-7s %c", (okansi() ? '║' : '|'), u.name,
/* +QRZ */ (okansi() ? '║' : '|'), u.callsign, (okansi() ? '║' : '|'));
/* +QRZ */ pla(s1,&abort);
/* +QRZ */ }
/* +QRZ */ }
/* +QRZ */ if (okansi()) {
/* +QRZ */ pla(" \003"
/* +QRZ */ "4╚════════════════════════════════╩══════════╝", &abort);
