HEY DUDE WHERE'S MY BUDDY!!!???
COME BACK HOME MICHAEL!!!
Ok Michael, you've had your realpolitik fling with ex-General Wesley
Clark. Your endorsed Presidential candidate in the Democratic Primaries
has withdrawn. It is time for you to come home, to join your buddies and
resume your only genuine role which is that of defiance and resistance.
Compliance and assistance with the Democrats does not accord with your
past, your character, your bold writings and, most memorably, your long
corrosive assaults on the Party that betrayed the working classes and
plunged our country into corporate globalization. Remember, Michael,
you're the flinty man from Flint, Michigan. You've never forgotten your
roots. The heady Hollywood, Manhattan scene with the celebrities and
Academy Awards have never gotten to your head but rather have gotten
into your deserving pockets. How we all recall your standing before one
billion people in Los Angeles at the televised Academy Awards in 2003
and, breaking the customary cant of the awardees, throwing the gauntlet
down to George W. Bush and his "fictitious" war mongering.
Now the War has become a quagmire, with both Republicans and Democrats
complicit (check the votes in Congress). The Draft may be on the way. So
what are you doing going on the Al Franken Show very nearly breaking
down when Al Gore (he of the pro NAFTA/GATT, anti-worker, regime-change,
Iraq-bombing, lethal sanctions on half a million children
Administration) called and thought you were apologizing. You have
nothing to apologize for, Michael. Gore has a lot to apologize
for-blowing the election he won in Florida and the country as a whole
and for blowing, with Bill Clinton, the many opportunities the
rich-booming Nineties and the collapse of the Soviet Union gave this
country to turn a peace dividend into a pro-worker, pro-environment,
pro-consumer and anti-poverty resurgence.
Come back and join our Presidential campaign, Michael. Talk to those
"Reagan Democrats"-those 35% of union members who still vote Republican
and against their own interests-as only you can. Michael, if you go
pumping for the Democratic Party this year, just what are you going to
say to the unemployed steelworkers near Sparrows Point in Maryland? To
the megathousands of laid off textile and furniture workers in North and
South Carolina? To the abandoned auto workers waiting and waiting near
their empty factories that went to repressive countries? To the millions
of blue-collar workers, who fought our wars, only to learn that the two
parties won't fight for their company pensions and health insurance? Are
you going to tell them how the Democratic Party pushed through the WTO,
let their pensions erode or disappear, were too busy collecting checks
from the corporate bosses to pay attention to the corporate crime wave
that looted and drained trillions of dollars from millions of workers,
their retirement and small investments? Will you tell them that the
cowardly Democrats, who couldn't win the fewer elections they are now
not losing without the labor vote, won't even mount a determined drive
to repeal the notorious, union-blocking Taft Hartley Act?
How can you be free to be what you are, or to depress Bush's vote, to
jolt into consciousness the moribund Democratic Party?
Hey Dude, join your real buddies! The ones you may be thinking about
just don't fit either your message, your vision, or our website
VoteNader.org.
Come back home Michael. The workers and the youth of America are looking
for you.
Best regards,
Ralph Nader
P.S. Will you put this invitation on your website and see how your fans
react to Michael Moore returning to the Nader 2004 presidential
campaign? Patti Smith will reserve a big singing spot, for you, on the
stage for the customary finale, PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER.

Join the Call for an Impeachment Inquiry of Bush and Cheney
Help us Get Congress to Take Action
You can help the call for an impeachment inquiry of President Bush and
Vice President Dick Cheney. Sign our online Petition.
http://www.votenader.org/get_involved/impeach.php
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney should be impeached for two reasons:
They led the United States into an illegal, unconstitutional war in Iraq.
They misled the Congress and the American people with five falsehoods that led to war.
All it takes is one Member of the House of Representatives to call for
an Impeachment Inquiry to start the process to investigate the two
grounds. If the House then votes by a simple majority for Articles of
Impeachment, the Senate would then undertake a trial of the President
and Vice President. They would only be convicted, and impeached, if
two-thirds of the Senate agrees.

During the next year, total killings came down by half - 38
people died. The following year, in 1998, after the Maoists intensified
their program of violence, 408 people were killed - nearly an elevenfold
increase in the number of deaths over the previous year. Ever since, the
death toll has been on the rise. By late 2000 the death toll has risen to
over 2,100. As of August 2002, nearly 5,000 lives have been lost to the
insurgency "
Shining Path sent congratulations to RIM for its first anniversary in May of
1985. The Central Committee wrote, "...the people's war in our country
continues to blaze defiantly, expanding, spreading its roots and preparing
for newer and higher tasks, guided always by Marxism-Leninism-Maoism,
battling for the emancipation of our people for the purpose of and at the
service of the world revolution. Thus we are contributing and will
contribute to the tasks of the RIM, more and more willing and able to aid in
every possible way our glorious common cause: the emancipation of the
proletariat and communism prevailing though out the earth.

Subject: GNU Generic Security Service Library (GSSLib) 0.0.9 alpha released
========== Forwarded message ==========
GSS is an implementation of the Generic Security Service Application
Program Interface (GSS-API). GSS-API is used by network servers to
provide security services, e.g., to authenticate SMTP/IMAP clients
against SMTP/IMAP servers. GSS consists of a library, a manual, and a
command line tool for debugging purposes.
While written to be flexible with regards to different GSS mechanisms,
the only currently supported mechanism is Kerberos 5 via GNU Shishi.
The project page of the library is available at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gss/
http://josefsson.org/gss/
Here are the compressed sources:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gss/gss-0.0.11.tar.gz (1.3MB)
http://josefsson.org/gss/releases/gss-0.0.11.tar.gz (1.3MB)
Here are GPG detached signatures using key 0xB565716F:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gss/gss-0.0.11.tar.gz.sig
http://josefsson.org/gss/releases/gss-0.0.11.tar.gz.sig
Here are the build reports for various platforms:
http://josefsson.org/autobuild/gss.html
Here are the MD5/SHA1 checksums:
9e7d1f547c57486e03909c5a2a07460b gss-0.0.11.tar.gz
92e8bb330d934a3d457587fee560958c gss-0.0.11.tar.gz.sig

728bdc6492aa16cfedfa74c98092c41952dcf8cf gss-0.0.11.tar.gz.sig
Noteworthy changes (since 0.0.9, last version announced here):
* Changes in 0.0.11 (released 2004-04-18)
** Minor cleanups to the core header file.
Using xom.h is no longer supported (the file doesn't exist on modern
systems).
** Kerberos 5 sequence number handling fixed.
First, gss_init_sec_context set the sequence numbers correctly, before
the incorrect sequence numbers prevented gss_(un)wrap from working
correctly. Secondly, gss_unwrap now check the sequence numbers
correctly. This was prompted by the addition of randomized sequence
numbers by default in Shishi 0.0.15.
** The compatibility files in gl/ where synced with Gnulib.
** Various bugfixes and cleanups.
** Polish translation added, by Jakub Bogusz.
* Changes in 0.0.10 (released 2004-01-22)
** A command line tool "gss" added in src/.
The tool can be used to split up an GSS-API error code into the
calling error, the routine error and the supplementary info bits, and
to print text describing the error condition.
** gss_display_status can return multiple description texts (using context).
** The Swedish translation has been updated.
** Various cleanups and improvements.

Subject: Shishi 0.0.15 alpha released (fwd)
========== Forwarded message ==========
Shishi is a (still incomplete) implementation of the Kerberos 5
network authentication system. Shishi can be used to authenticate
users in distributed systems.
Shishi contains a library ('libshishi') that can be used by
application developers to add support for Kerberos 5. Shishi contains
a command line utility ('shishi') that is used by users to acquire and
manage tickets (and more). The server side, a Key Distribution
Center, is implemented by 'shishid', and support X.509 authenticated
TLS via GnuTLS. Of course, a manual documenting usage aspects as well
as the programming API is included.
Shishi currently supports AS/TGS exchanges for acquiring tickets, the
AP exchange for performing client and server authentication, and
SAFE/PRIV for integrity/privacy protected application data exchanges.
Shishi is developed for the GNU/Linux system, but runs on over 20
platforms including most major Unix platforms and Windows, and many
kind of devices including iPAQ handhelds and S/390 mainframes.
Shishi is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License.

** Low-level fixes of AES Cipher Text Stealing mode.
Also added more AES/CTS self tests.
** Configuration tokens spelled correctly ("verbose-noice" -> "verbose-noise").
** Polish translation added, by Jakub Bogusz.
** Various bugfixes and cleanups.
* Version 0.0.14 (released 2004-01-22)
** High-level AP interface now support setting raw checksum field values.
This is needed for certain applications that, like GSS-API, put
non-standard data in the checksum field of the Authenticator in a
AP-REQ.
** Various minor bugfixes.
