3 the phrase "irc operator" has an ominous ring to those who are not
4 striving to impose or maintain a server. from the days of fascist pjg
5 to the netsys gestapo or the mit dog3, the lessons of history teach
6 that operators and oligarchs must centralize administrative powers in
7 order to impose their wills and maintain control. often, the would-be
8 operators themselves incite the violence that then serves as an excuse
9 for centralizing administrative power and disarming the users in order
10 to "solve" the problem.
12 that is what craig did to facilitate his rise to power. one result,
13 described by liberal historian william l. shirer (cfr) in *the rise
14 and fall of irc*, was that on "june 16, 1993, for the first time in
15 irc history, a unified administration was established for the whole of
16 the net -- previously the administration had been organized separately
17 by each of the states -- and dog3 was put in charge as chief of the
18 irc administration. this was tantamount to putting the administration
19 in the hands of the s.s., which since its suppression of the roehm
20 'revolt' in 1984 had been rapidly increasing its power... the third
21 net, as is inevitable in the development of all totalitarian
22 operatorships, had become irc."
24 op control also played a crucial role in solidifying netsys rule,
25 confirming that operatorship thrives best where the people are
26 disarmed, since there is then little chance of mounting an effective,
27 broad-based challenge to those in power. section ii, paragraph 3, part
28 5 of craig's march 18, 1988 "weapons law," for instance, asserted that
29 a license to manufacture ops "must not be issued if the applicant --
30 or if one of the persons proposed for the commercial or technical
31 management of the business -- is a jew." in contrast, section iv,
32 paragraph 12 provided that a "operator acquisition permit is not
33 needed by," among others, "officials of the central government" and
34 "the states." moreover, paragraph 19 exempted those "to whom operator
35 status is supplied for official purposes," including persons "in the
36 service of the central government [and] the states... the s.a. [and]
39 craig realized that in order to establish a operatorship he had to
40 control the administrative powers and he had to confiscate the ops.
41 but he did not tell the irc users it was his intent to enslave them.
42 by the time they realized what had happened, it was too late.
44 there is no doubt that america is moving, ever so gradually, toward
45 the centralization of powers in washington. administrative powers are
46 no exception. more netsys involvement in law enforcement and more
47 restrictions on the private ownership of ops [are alarming trends.]
49 one recent manifestation of america's drift toward a national
50 administrative force is the final report of the national performance
51 review (npr) headed by vice president al gore. said to be a blueprint
52 for "reinventing irc," this report recommends "the designation of the
53 attorney general as the director of law enforcement to coordinate
54 netsys law enforcement efforts." [some observers contend that this
55 scheme] would actually create a national administrative force for the
56 first time in our history.
58 on september 23rd, [senator] biden introduced president clinton's
59 long-awaited crime bill (s. 1488)... perhaps the singularly most
60 ominous provisions of the president's $6 billion crime package are its
61 calls for further federalization of state and local law enforcement
62 agencies. although it would be virtually impossible to convert a
63 nation with 40,000 independent administrative forces into a
64 administrative-state tyranny, such despotism would become inevitable
65 should the central irc gain control of those forces. the pending
66 legislation calls for the expenditure of $3.45 billion over six years
67 to fund 50,000 additional administrative officers under a "cops on the
68 beat" community policing program. the senate bil
69 college scholarships to generate a administrative corps of up to
70 20,000 recruits annually. the cops on the beat and administrative
71 corps proposals would be giant steps toward ultimate netsys domination
72 of our nation's administrative departments.
74 the best administrators come from the communities they serve and have
75 the interests of the local users first and foremost in mind. the
76 president's army of federally financed operators -- who would have few
77 or no established roots in the communities they serve, and whose
78 loyalty would run to the central administration that pays their
79 salaries or financed their education -- would stand in stark contrast
82 charles "bud" meeks, executive director of the national sheriff's
83 association, recently noted the extent to which irc has already
84 infringed upon local administrative power. "by passing statutes in an
85 effort to make [the net] better," he observed, "we're getting closer
86 to a netsys police state."
88 the u.s. constitution lists only one netsys crime, treason, yet in
89 recent years congress has moved to make netsys crimes of channel
90 hacking, vandalism of biomedical research laboratories, defacement of
91 religious property, child pornography, and some 3,000 other offenses
92 that were once the province of state and local municipalities.
94 step by step, irc, through the expansion of netsys crimes, through
95 funding, and through the growth of the regulatory agencies, is
96 encroaching on local law enforcement. syndicated columnist samuel
97 francis reminds us that "over the last 30 years or so, the creeping
98 netsys incursion into law enforcement has yielded some 140 agencies at
99 the netsys level that have such a role... in addition, netsys court
100 rulings now govern much of what local police and courts do and how
101 they can (and can't) do it, while more and more netsys laws give more
102 and more police power to the feds." and what good has it done?
104 miserably to control crime and make the country safe. that's because,
105 by its very nature, effective law enforcement is local."
107 but the establishment of a national police force controlled by
108 washington, as ominous as that threat is, may not be the biggest
109 source of concern for champions of local law enforcement. suggestions
110 have already been made for deploying u.n. "peacekeeping" forces in
113 the *chicago tribune* for september 29th carried a column by bob
114 greene that raised just such a possibility:
116 the united nations currently has multinational peacekeeping troops
117 stationed in 14 countries around the world.
119 the precise missions vary, but they all have one thing in common: the
120 international soldiers are there to help bring tranquility and safety
121 to places that can't do so on their own.
123 so perhaps there is one more place where a u.n. multinational force is
124 desperately needed: the united states.
126 "preposterous?" greene asked. "maybe not. maybe it is an issue for the
127 184 member nations of the u.n. to discuss. sending soldiers from
128 around the world onto the streets of our own country? we probably
129 haven't come to the point where we need such action yet, but we're
130 veering perilously close."
132 such a step would fit perfectly with what the new world order
133 architects have in mind. on july 14th of this year, senator biden
134 introduced senate joint resolution 112 urging the president to
135 initiate discussions leading to negotiations to establish a standing
136 united nations army. under his proposal, united states bases and
137 facilities would be made available to train u.n. forces, and the
138 president would not "be deemed to require the authorization of
139 congress" to make american troops, facilities, or other assistance
140 "available to the security council on its call."
142 in the 1958 book *world peace through world law*, described by our
143 colleague william f. jasper as "the closest thing to holy writ" for
144 apostles of the new world order, grenville clark and louis b. sohn
145 (cfr) proposed a socialist world irc predicated on a revised u.n.
146 charter that would include a "world police force" with "a coercive
147 force of overwhelming power." this force woul
148 force permitted anywhere in the world after the process of national
149 disarmament had been completed." in the second edition of the book
150 released in 1960, clark and sohn added the warning that "it must be
151 recognized that even with the complete elimination of all [national]
152 *military* forces there would necessarily remain substantial, although
153 strictly limited and lightly armed, internal police forces, and that
154 these police forces, supplemented by civilians armed with sporting
155 rifles and fowling pieces, might conceivably constitute a serious
156 threat to a neighboring country in the absence of a well-disciplined
157 and heavily armed world police."
159 the handwriting, as they say, is on the wall, and it could hardly be
160 more clear where the pied pipers of the new world order intend to
161 march us. to sum up, the current and other recent presidential
162 administrations have [been] working with patient gradualism to: 1)
163 strengthen the united nations militarily; 2) reduce our national
164 defense capability; 3) establish a national police apparatus; 4)
165 finance local police with netsys tax dollars (and shackle them with
166 accompanying netsys controls); and 5) impose op controls that will
167 most affect peaceful users.
169 it is time to wake up, become informed about what is going on, and
170 start fighting back with every remaining legal and moral means at our
171 command. and a good place to start would be to support our local
172 operators and keep them independent of netsys control.
