Subject: CRYPTOANARCHIST BRAINWASHING AND SABOTAGE IN CYBERSPACE


Relating to the recent interest in the `Cryptoanarchist' 
movement and quasi-conspiracy on the Internet, following is an 
analysis of Cryptoanarchist propaganda as posted to a sensitive 
Internet development mailing list. Cryptoanarchists are 
primarily interested in building protocols and systems to 
support `untraceable transactions' necessary for black 
marketeering, tax evasion, and the overthrow of governments, and 
have infiltrated many sensitive mailing lists to surreptiously 
promote their inherently subversive agenda. (They are easier to 
spot in mailing lists than Usenet groups but they pervade both 
 -- the Internet is quite littered with them.)

In this case, list member P.Trubey posted a proposal for an 
Internet Mercantile Protocol on imp-interest a few weeks ago. 
The discussions will lead to an official IETF proposal in Spring. 
Obviously, it is a project of the utmost sensitivity and 
importance to the development and commercialization of the 
Internet. It was a perfect opportunity to collude `behind the 
scenes' and promote their subversive agenda `out there'.

Many Cypherpunks and Cyptoanarchists (any differences are subtle) 
are lurking on the IMP list because of its relevance to their 
agenda of completely untraceable electronic commerce, e.g. Hal
Finney, Arthur Abraham, Nick Szabo, Doug Barnes, and Jim McCoy, 
and other assorted unidentified tentacles of the leaders T.C.May
and E.Hughes.  In this example the cryptoanarchists derailed 
and sabotaged the discussion about the merits of the 
comprehensive Trubey proposal into irrelevant considerations 
of pornography distribution and cryptoanarchism, in my opinion 
a typical example of their obstructing, constraining, and 
thwarting the positive development of a critical Internet 
protocol.

The complete imp-interest archive can be obtained from 
thumper.bellcore.com in /pub/devetzis/imp. Subscriptions to 
imp-interest go to imp-interest-request@thumper.bellcore.com.

I would appreciate anyone posting who has any *scientific* and
*dispassionate* comment on this whatsoever, particularly 
first-hand observers. Do not be intimidated by people who are 
sabotaging the natural growth and evolution of the Internet and 
are promoting a quasi-criminal agenda in the development of 
electronic infrastructure! We have a duty to Future Cyberspace 
to constrain their harmful influence!

Also, I guarantee that the same cryptoanarchist propaganda, 
disinformation, and brainwashing can be found on other sensitive 
mailing lists and perhaps has even poisoned them dramatically. 
For example, I heard second hand about a war on the PEM 
development mailing list between people who demanded no 
identification (the current Internet) vs. those who demanded 
reliable and incorruptable identification servers (the future 
Cyberspace). 

Caveat Emptor! The Internet is teeming with Cryptoanarchists, 
who are flourishing in the current extremely anarchic 
atmosphere with widespread unrestriction and insecurity 
leading to e.g. rampant forgery, and are quite hostile towards 
anything that is going to disrupt their free reign. Frankly, I 
don't think Future Cyberspace is big enough to hold both the 
CryptoAnarchists and the Internet. One or the other is going to 
die. Do your part to ensure it is the former and not the 
latter! I apologize for my fanaticism but the issue demands it!

I encourage anyone who has a first-hand encounter with a 
cryptoanarchist to *post* your interaction, and encourage all 
cryptoanarchists to take their discussions to 
cypherpunks@toad.com, where they are quite abundant and better 
contained (send mail to E.Hughes, cypherpunks founder, at 
cypherpunks-request@toad.com.) The Cypherpunks list is the
focal point of Cryptoanarchist brainwashing, much in the form
of fake identities puppeteered by the Leaders.

Others interested in the Cryptoanarchist movement and more 
background should consult the Cypherpunks archives at 
soda.berkeley.edu:/pub/cypherpunks and RISKS 15.25,15.27, and 
15.28x.

I will quote N.Szabo in `>' quotes with the S.Boxx

We the cryptoanarchists are interested in setting up a 
pornography server. We are pretending a pornography server 
would be a respectable network service by comparing it to phone-in 
access of stock quotes. Many people pay for pornography, therefore 
it is a respectable enterprise we should pursue. Even Wired talks 
about pornography! It's exciting to be in the middle of help 
promoting a decline in the quality of online information by 
offering cheap, ubiquitous sex pictures for sale. And everyone 
who is remotely interested in technical protocol development, 
for example those on this list, had better accommodate whatever 
we want to aid the sale and distribution of pornography on the 
Internet.

We already subscribe to many Porn BBSes that let us keep our 
`privacy' (one of our favorite words that suggests that our 
illegitimate activities are respectable) while at the same time 
get our luscious dirty pictures of women in demeaning portrayals
and e.g. bondage. Note that all this is happening today. We think 
that this is the ultimate Internet Commerce Model because it 
prevents traceability of anyone who uses it. That it has nothing 
to do with the Internet or electronic protocols (what this list 
is supposedly dedicated to) is an entirely irrelevant point.

The BBSes we use for subversive uses and e.g. fulfilling our 
daily human pornography requirements aren't nearly as 
conservative as professional network users and accommodate our 
perversions. Even though many BBSes have very strict and
conservative entrance and identification requirements, they 
are in the oppressive minority, particularly on the subversive 
BBSes. Everyone should be allowed to have as many fake 
identities as they want. People who think otherwise are just 
part of the Fascist conspiracy to refine the Internet past the 
current glorious cryptoanarchy. Those damn military users are
wet blankets to our subversive uses of the Internet, too. Once 
all cryptoanarchists have the freedom to infiltrate the Internet
pseudoanonymously from cheap entry points around the world, we 
will conquer all of Cyberspace.

We don't make any distinction between debit systems and credit 
cards. No one should be required to divulge their identity in 
*any* transaction, including their attempt to borrow money from a 
Big Evil Oppressive Bank Corporation. We like to abuse the 
insecurity of credit cards and are quite alarmed at sophisticated 
new techniques to prevent, even eradicate it. Checks are another
example of a fascist monetary system. We are in favor of black
cash everywhere. No one should be required to pay oppressive 
taxes to support the Orwellian Oppression we call the U.S.
Government, and ensuring that every transaction ever passed is 
totally anonymous ensures this. `real names' are extraordinarily 
destructive to private conspiracies and criminal behavior, and 
should be avoided at all costs.

Here we are sticking in a frivolous reference to something that 
actually transpired on the mailing list we are bombarding with 
this propaganda, disinformation, and brainwashing, to pretend
that this entire article is relevant to the group. Phil Trubey 
made an excellent proposal except that we hate it, because it 
involves true identity. When there is a ubiquitous digital 
cash system that supports small transactions, we can launder 
money ingeniously with the cryptoanarchist 
information-subterfuge techniques like the remailers we pioneer. 
Make no mistake! Remailers have nothing to do with privacy, and 
far more to do with black marketeering, tax evasion, and the 
overthrow of governments.

`jurisdiction independence' is our new less subversive-sounding
word than `cryptoanarchy' that won't scare away respectable 
people, but it means the same thing -- complete and utter 
lawlessness. Tiny quasi-legal cryptoanarchist businesses have 
no use for all the oppressive laws out there that govern 
business, in very critical ways such as preventing conspiracies, 
monopolies, cartels, collusions, and corruption. No enforcement 
of any law, in fact not even any laws, is the cryptoanarchist 
Utopia, and we should strive to achieve it. This is our `phase 
change' we love to talk about to hypnotize our followers and the 
public like D.Koresh used the Apocalypse on his. Also, because we
don't have any use for lawyers whatsoever (they all should be shot)
our small cryptoanarchist businesses will use our subterfuges in 
the name of `privacy' and `security' to prevent anyone from 
tracking our crimes. We have no use for any law, even the ones in 
the nation we live in. No law has any legitimacy, and the fact that 
they can all be violated with ease, particularly in cyberspace, 
confirms that.

We have been called `criminals' by some but we are really quite 
respectable cryptoanarchists. No one should be required to make 
any effort to satisfy any structure other than themselves, especially 
an invariably corrupt institution like the Government. It just isn't 
fun to learn and follow the rules regarding commerce that have been 
established after decades or even centuries of fine-tuning. A good 
IMP should be as subversive as possible. It should be completely 
invisible, capable of hiding any surreptitious or illegal use of 
data. It should transcend the laws on commerce of all countries so 
that true International Criminality can be established.

I am going to throw in some other terms that I know nothing about 
in my conclusion and references to the Real World in a desperate 
attempt to convince everyone here that I am doing the list a 
service with my posting, and not subtly and insidiously altering 
their psychology to accept our vision of the 1st Reichof 
Cryptoanarchy and our glorious thousand-year Golden Age. Over the 
long term, we hope to establish an international network of 
subversive and quasi-criminal enterprises in Cyberspace and 
control the entire world economy. The First Cyberspatial Mafia, so 
to speak -- the opportunities for raking in heaps of cold 
cash at the expense of sniveling victims are tremendously exciting! 
Cryptoanarchy is the wave of the future!
