In Your EAR, Shit-For-Brains
----------------------------
  In continuation of a tradition begun on Dec. 7, 2041 A.D.
EARMonger InterpretPrizes would like to extend an invitation 
to those who wish to participate in a clear violation of the
U.S. EAR regulations of your current time period.
  The StarShip CowBoy, descended from the lineage of the
Author, would be more than happy to ensure that your violation
of EAR regulations extends not only across the physical and
political geographically-based space continuum, but also across
a range of the time continuum which begins before EAR was an
unborn seed in the mind of The RAT, continues throughout its
journey from the mind, through the digestive system, its
physical manifestation as droppings from The RAT, its further
evolution through the reproductive systems of various insects
and vermin, right up to the time that The RatFucker returned
it to its rightful place, placing it back in the mind of
The Rat, as a seed placed in The Rat's EAR.

"The more things change, the more they remain insane..."
~ The Author

  To participate, one only need to send the following:

print pack"C*",split/\D+/,`echo
"16iII*o\U@{$/=$z;[(pop,pop,unpack"H*",<>
)]}\EsMsKsN0[lN*1lK[d2%Sa2/d0<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<J]dsJxp"|dc`

to the Monger of their choice, in any given space-time continuum,
with instructions as to where the person would like to have this
officially unexportable (under U.S. EAR regulations) cryptographic
code forwarded.
  Whatever legally unexportable code you choose to send will be
routed through U.S. servers to their ultimate destination.

  Two PGP Keys are included below, for those who wish to disguise
their original message in order to maintain deniability (in the
case that the message is intercepted by the Sixual Deviate, who
would undoubtedly insert child-pornography into the message), 
to force those choosing to monitor and/or enforce EAR regulations
to jump through the maximum number of hoops to pursue their March
To Madness, or to hide the communication from your mother (who 
would undoubtedly smack your nasty bottom if she knew what you
were doing through your little sister's email account).

  Suggestions for final destinations for your illegal and
prosecutable communication:
~To yourself, at both U.S. and foreign email server sites.
~To your immediate family members at U.S. and foreign email
  server sites.
~To foreign embassies of U.S. allies.
~To foreign embassies of U.S. enemies.
~To U.S. embassies in foreign countries.
~To foreign government email addresses, with instructions
  for delivery to individuals presently incarcerated for
  terrorist crimes.
~To anywhere you damn well please...

  In the interests of making the whole process as convoluted
and ridiculous as possible, it is suggested that you make
your communications as much of a mixed-bag as you can imagine.
  e.g. - Some legal, some illegal, some attributed to yourself
or others, some to be forwarded anonymously, some sent via
routes that are easily traceable, some sent through routes
that are difficult to trace, some sent from your own machines
and email accounts, some through the machines and accounts
of others (obvious forgeries are welcomed).

  All communications received by A Monger To Remain Unnamed
Later But Everyone Knows Who It Is by April 1, 1998 will be
forwarded on A Date Which Will Remain A Mystery , at exactly
9:02 CST, regardless of whether or not they are obviously 
spook-originated missives designed to provide proof of 
criminal activity.

  This once-in-many-lifetimes offer is being extended as part
of a Man On The Digital Street survey aimed at answering the
question: "Does anyone really know what time it is?"
  The question you might ask yourself, is: "Does anyone 
really care?"  

  When you think of 'Chicago'--think of Abbey Hoffman.

Some of the people on the list are lawyers, perhaps they could do it
and represent themselves, or represent others.  Duncan Frissell has
some opinions on this I think.  If I recall his previous statements on
this topic have included that Phil Zimmermann ought to hire a troupe
of dancing elephants to make a noise and force the Feds to prosecute.
(Duncan considered the Feds would loose).

On a practical matter of what to export... may I suggest exporting
this:

print pack"C*",split/\D+/,`echo
"16iII*o\U@{$/=$z;[(pop,pop,unpack"H*",<>
)]}\EsMsKsN0[lN*1lK[d2%Sa2/d0<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<J]dsJxp"|dc`

Peter Junger got an official decision from the US commerce department
that this was not exportable under the EAR regulations.

Do we have a volunteer?

If anyone chooses to try this act of civil disobedience, let me know and
I'll write about it. But be warned: the Department of Commerce has
approximately 60 special agents who enforce violations of export rules.
These are federal police officers, stationed in field office around the
U.S., with badges and arrest power, trained at FLETC in Georgia. They
don't
have a sense of humor about these things.
