Here's yur 'Kill Switch' Barry

   "Curses!  Foiled Again!"
Foiled Again
  Internet Carry Out
“ To whom it may concern,

We Rebuild is a decentralized cluster of net activists who have joined forces to collaborate on issues concerning access to a free Internet without intrusive surveillance. These issues span over many subjects and areas, which are reflected in a breadth of competences and opinions. There are no leaders, nor members. We Rebuild is simply an international chaotic event, and our actions can not be predicted in detail. We are a flow of passions, and we sometimes refer to our driving force as “data-love”.[Werebuild Fourth Communiqué of the Internets]		 ”

Foiled Again

20110131 09:29 Dale Hello ! It is interesting to see how the Egyptians are getting around internet access.

I understand a kill switch is being offered up again here.
That post on the O-Club sent me scurrying over to werebuild. After reading Cobb's Collapsing with the Swiftness yesterday, I needed to know there was someplace to go.  A Hole-in the-Wall for resistance outlaws. Not that I understand any of it well enough to do it, but if Egyptian peasants can manage, then so by-god can I (meaning you guys.  I'm a shooter, not a thinker).

    "to educate myself in internet common knowledge, for the purposes of cryptoanarchist / cryptocommunist training,..." Wonderful...

    Look up fidonet.

    A volunteer chat/news network that moved data pre-internet by deliberately misusing phone company LATA ( local toll-free telephone call areas ) boundaries to move data around the world during the witching hour ( 0200-0300 local ).

    A fidonet node on the edge of a LATA would use a local call to toss packets to a node just down the block, but in the next LATA over. That node would spread the packets to all of the BBSs in it's LATA, and a node on the opposite edge of the LATA would toss the packets into the next LATA.

    Etc, etc, etc, until the packets went around the planet ( with some help from volunteers using C-Band satellite dishes to toss data to the next continent over ).

    We have the tools needed to just ignore DARPA's internet completely, if needed.

    People don't care how their WWW packets get to them, as long as they do. They can adapt to a 24 hour refresh time.

    I started out in the mid-80s on a 1200baud modem calling local message boards before CompuServe opened. The public Internet wasn't even a dream then.

    I'm sure it would be possible to start those services up again if the Internet goes down...

    Hhmmmm I think it would almost be easier to take gather up our sporting goods, go to the various party head quarters and have super serious conversation with those who or are even assoiciated with those, who even think about shutting down or censoring the Internet.
