A piece of POST-LOGIC. By: Modok Tarleton Is that tuna fish I smell? No, its the CONSPIRACY. As avid readers of this magazine probably already know, the conspiracy has tried to use its poison tentacles to steal eggs from our snake pit. For now, our eggs are safe. One day, however, they might try it again. We will be there, knife in hand, ready to chop off their offending appendages. Yes, they will probably try to squirt their government ink in our eyes but we will continue to fight with the weapons given to us by (your savior here). W e m u s t t a k e a s t a n d a g a i n s t the pervasive eye of the conspiracy's octopi (yes, it rhymes). You must ask yourself "What can I do to help stop this reign of tyranny from the unseens and the who-whats- its?" You must continue to fight against the shickelgrubers, the boot boys and the LOGIC-WEAVERS! You must never fall for LOGIC, you must always use POST-LOGIC (real men always think in POST-LOGIC). Confusion and ambiguity are the weapons in this war. Turn their MEDIASPEAK, GOOBLEDYGOOK and BAFFLEGAB against them! Weave great webs of Orwellian nightmare language! Master the art of circular logic! When they ask you what you believe, tell them "I believe what you believe. Just don't practice it". Are you confused yet? Good! You get "it"! @-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@ ON THE SUBJECT OF GOVERNMENT... By: Cyndre the Grey Welcome to a new age! Yes this is a world where technology has hit an all time high. It seems there is no other way to go but up. Funny, that includes taxes, cost of living, and trouble in government. Yes, this is the day and age that we are subjected to, by our wonderful president Mr. George Bush, the New World Order... Most Americans are probably still wondering "Just what is this 'New World Order?'" Well, lets talk about that: The New World Order is a product of the Trilateral Committee, made up of the World's key leaders. In this form of government, the entire world will be broken up into 3 'Nation States': Europe, The Asias, and The Americas. The worlds decisions will be made by the 'elected' presidents of each nation state. The entire world will be on a common market with a universal currency I'm sure we have all heard of - the 'credit.' Yes for years we have been getting orien ted to this system, whether in movies, or by our banking system. Well, in the near future, there will be very few private banks, we will store our credits (for a small fee) in the World Bank. We will be forced to carry around credit chips that, when inserted into a machine, will access our account number, list what is to be purchased, and the price. Forget about tax evasion!! It will all be AUTOMATICALLY DEDUCTED from out accounts. Yes, the new government will be a cross between capit alism and communism. They will know our every move. Business owners will still be allowed to keep their businesses but they will have to pay exorbitant taxes. State security will be at an all time high. There will be no middle class. Citizens will be either very rich or very poor. The machine has already started. Our wonderful government does not want a car on the road that is over 10 years old. A bill has already been passed limiting parts for the cars that fit in this 'danger zo ne.' It is now impossible to get manufacturer parts for these cars. If you have a proble you must use after- market parts and hope that it fits specifications. Todays cars are built to last 10 years or less. Its a sad thing that more people do not understand what is coming down the proverbial 'road.' The governing machine is going to run right over the common people like a steam roller. People won't even know what happened. Take a look around! The New World Order is not nearly as wonderful as our government would like us to think. Don't worry, it won't be long and we won't have to worry about what they want us to think. They will soon control that too! WE HAVE BEEN WARNED. NOW ITS TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Cyndre the Grey* @-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@ Fight the Power! As I sit here writing this, I can't help wondering what the hell is g oing on. Why is it that every time a group a people find some new freedom or form of expression, the government steps in to suffocate it? Just look at the National Endowment for the Arts controversy or the PMRC. Why must a small group of paranoid people try to force their fears down all of our throats? I must admit that when these things first began happening, I just sat by thinking to myself that it was a crock of shit without doing anything about it. It didn't strike close enough to home for me to get involved. Recently, however, there's been a series of events that have struck close to home and have forced me to take action. The events to which I'm referring are none other than the government's recent attempts at bringing the computer world to justice (as they define it, of course). It's really disturbing to hear about the methods the feds used to crack down on "dangerous" users. Unsigned search warrants have been used to gain entry to homes where all sorts of equipment, co mputer related or not, was confiscated while no charges were specified. There have also been cases of holding guns to children's heads while a raid was going on. What kind of gestapo tactics are these? Have these guys never heard of the Bill of Rights? This isn't the America I was told about as a kid; it sounds a helluva lot more like those "evil" communist countries that I was taught to hate. The only logical conclusion that can be drawn here is that the government is very afraid. Why else would they dedicate so much effort to something they know so little about? These guys don't have a clue as to what's going on out here in cyberspace. That's the source of the problem. Here we sit with these marvelous machines in front of us. Touch a few keys and any information that we want to exchange can be sent anywhere in minutes. This must seem like a pretty major threat to a government that so often relies on misinformation and cover-ups in order to scam the public into believing what it wants them to believe. We can't be controlled like the media bozos who drone bullshit through the idiot box at us. We can't be censored like the newspaper or the radio. In fact, this is probably the truest form of information exchange we have available today. That alone is worth fighting for. It could also be that they are afraid of a society where people are judged solely on their thoughts and ideas. We have no style whores here. Race, creed, color and religion are insignificant a nd pointless in cyberspace; they serve no purpose. There can be no discrimination, there can only be disagreement with someone's opinions. To me, this is pretty close to a perfect society. It is refreshing to judged on what I think and how I express myself rather than by the color of my skin or the origin of my birth. In a society like this, the government cannot play people off against one another. They have no ground on which to stand. Perhaps it's this lack of footing that makes them nervou ╨ s. Whatever it is, it's got them thinking that they need to put a stop to it and "bring it under control". We are a far too dangerous force for them to just ignore. This fact should be remembered and taken advantage of, information is the key! Less than an hour ago, I posted issue number six of this magazine on Internet along with messages urging others to read it. In a matter of minutes it was all over the world. Maybe this will draw others into the fold, maybe not. Regardless, it'll force t hem to think and maybe to take action themselves. - Brain on a Stick - "If it comes down to it, we could all become cyber-commandos!" @-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@ POCKET LAW...Quick Reference Card Hey, copy this down and keep it in your wallet for those situations where you might be suppress ed by the power-hungry infidels of humanity.

Enjoy! Elrond AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19) You have an inventive mind and are inclined to be very progressive.

You are nothing but a goddamn redneck. GEMINI (MAY 22-JUNE 21) You are a quick and intelligent thinker. People like you because you are bisexual. However, you are inclined to expect too much for too little. This means you are a cheap bastard. Geminis are notorious for thriving on incest. CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 23) You are very compassionate and sympathetic to other peoples' problems. You are a sucker and a perfect target for con artists. You are always putting things off.

CA PRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20) You are overly conservative and afraid of taking risks. You don't do much of anything and are very lazy. There has never been a Capricorn of any importance.

By: Cyndre The Grey I am aware that this article will probably spark much criticism but it's something that needs to be discussed here. I'm talking about PURISTS! These are people that believe that if they don't drink, smoke, etc., they will live forever. I hate to break this to them but... WRONG!!! These people disgust me because they tend to push their ignorance and beliefs off on the general public. We have been aware that smoking is bad for us for ages, we have the right to choose what we do with our lives. But now the purists decide to play mommy to us and tell us that we can no longer smoke in many public places. They are the ones lobbying to get these cigarette taxes raised every time we turn around! S mokers have become the scapegoats for tax hikes! Its disgusting. The purists are going to have taxes so damn high that we can't even afford to smoke, drink, or anything!!! We have the right to do the things that we consider pleasurable. The purists are trying to take that away. Don't let them commit this atrocity! Its time we of the non-purist belief stood up and lobbied for our own writes granted to us as American citizens. If purists succeed in eliminating smoking and drinking fro m our society, what will they go after next? SEX?!?!? Eat well, stay fit, DIE ANYWAY! - Think about it! Cyndre the Grey: Smoker of cigarettes, Drinker of Liquor, and Enjoyer of life! @-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@-==-@ (print this) BECOME A MEMBER OF THE ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION A new world is arising in the vast web of digital, electronic media which connect us. Computer-based communication media like electronic mail and computer confrencing are becoming the basis of new forms of community. These communities without a single, fixed geographical location comprise the first settlements on an electronic frontier. While well-established legal principals and cultural norms give structure and coherence to uses of convential media like newspapers, bo oks, and telephones, the new digital media do not so easily fit into existing frameworks. Conflicts come about as the law struggles to defineit it's application in a context where fundamental notions of speech, property, and take profoundly new forms. People sense both the promise and the threat inherentin new computer and communications technologies, even as they struggle to master or simply cope with them in the work place and home. Throughout 1990, law enforcement activities which were o stensibly aimed at "cracking down on crackers" were, in fact, seizing the computer systems of innocent parties like Steve Jackson and shutting down bulletin boards used by hundreds of utterly innocenty people. Wether through ignorance or malice, these actions were depriving manyof their legitament rights under the Constitution, and chilling the free expression and growth of the Net. The EFF was formed in response to these injustices. Our mission was to protect constitutional guarantees of f ree speech and freedom from unreasonable search and seizure. This remains the core of our mission today. We believe that these fundamental civil liberties must apply to all users of computer networks. A threat to the rights of anyone is a threat to the rights of us all. Experience has taught us that these freedoms must be fought for if they are to be given a firm foundation in the online world. Constitutional guarantees, as we have seen by actions such as Operation Sun Devil, are not the default sta te online, but must be "designed" in from the start. To do nothing risks setting a series of precedents which will be difficult, if not impossible to reverse at some time in the future. Today, the EFF has evolved to become an advocacy organization, with broad concerns in the area of information technology policy, including, but not limited to civil liberties, which represent the interests of it's members and serve as a bridge between "Cyberspace" and other exotic locales, like Washington D .C. In order to continue the work already begun and to expand our efforts and activities into other realms of the electronic frontier, we need financial support of individuals and organizations. If you support our goals and our work, you can show that support by becoming a member now. Members receive our quarterly newsletter, EFFector, our bi-weekly electronic newsletter, EFFector Online (If you have an electronic address that can be reached throught the Net), and special releases a nd other notices on our activities. But because we believe that support should be freely given, you can receive these things even if you do not elect to become a member. Your membership/donation is fully tax deductible. Our memberships are $20.00 per year for students, $40.00 per year for regular members. You may, of coures, donate more if you wish. Our private policy: The EFF will never, under any circumstances, sell any part of it's membership list. We will, from time to time, share this with other non-profit organizations whose work we determine to be in line with our goals. But with us, member privacy is the default. This means that you must actively grant us permission to share your name with other groups. If you do not grant us explicit permission, we assume that you do not wish your membership disclosed to any group for any reason.
