Box 2501 Bloomfield, NJ 07003 U.S.A. ATI's Insane Staff: Ground Zero - publisher, editor, writer Prime Anarchist - editor, writer Media Assassin - crass columnist Geraldo Riviera - sleazy news columnist Writing/Research Staff: Happy Harry Hardon, Fah-Q, MAC???, and other occasional contributors Howdy, folks. Welcome to ATI60. We have a lot of cool stuph for you: letters from readers, humor, instructions on how to make a nuclear weapon (just kidding, actually an article on how to make a pirate TV station !!@), and other fascinating information. Well, Ross Perot's gone and done it. Dropped out. Couldn't take the pressure. Don't all of you who were for him feel foolish? Since we're so close to New York City, ATI was going to crash the Democratic Convention and give you an "insider's view" of the antics. But, we decided it wasn't worth the bother unless we could get into that "smoke-filled room" and actually see whether or not 'ol Billy was inhaling. We won't have the New World Order article for you this time around, as I fell into so much information while researching it, that it will take longer to produce. But, I can assure you that you'll be rocked and shocked when you read our forthcoming article. In the meantime, do pick up a copy of this book: _En_Route_ _to_Global_Occupation_ by Gary Kah. ISBN # 0-0910311, Library of Congress catalog # 91-71072. You can order it for $12.45 ($9.95 plus $2.50 for p/h) from For The People, 1-800-888-9999 (visa/mc orders) or send a check/mo. to For The People, 3 River St., White Springs, FL 32096, U.S.A. There IS a conspiracy for a New World Order (world gov't), and the aformentioned book explains how. Read it. And, read on... - - - - - - - - - - - - - (LETTERS!) - - - - - - - We can't always print ALL the mail we receive, but thanks to all of you who did wrie in. We WANT to hear from you!!! LETTER #1 Yo Zero! Re: * Social INsecurity* If you would like some more figures to help you feel INsecure, you might want to check out the book _The Coming Economic Earthquake_ by Larry Burkette. I am a pretty fundamentalist type Christian, but we have in common with ATI the fact that I think we have a more or less self-destructive government on our hands, and I'd like to help change that! Burkette's book may only be in Christian bookstores right now, because he is best known as a Christian Financial Planner (he gives EXCELLENT financial advice, differing from the norm only in the fact that he says we have a responsibility to God to be good stewards of what he has given us...). Anyway, Larry went out and did a bunch of research, and then worked the statistics out, and has some interesting stuff like how many years it will be before the interest payments on the national debt are higher each year than our entire annual budget is right now. Not too many years away. * --------------------------------------- * ** ************************************* ** *** A Reminder from THE GAR: *** **** In Cyberspace **** *** No One Can Hear You SCREAM. *** ** ************************************* ** * --------------------------------------- * LETTER #2 Re: Yugoslavia (Bosnia & Serbia) Well, the situation in Bosnia is now even worse than anyone expected. Serbian army captured their president (=Alija Izatbegovic) and released him after whole world accused such act, yesterday they destroyed many buildings in Sarajevo (capital city of Bosnia) - mostly churches, and cultural objects, they demolished the central Post (so, all phone lines are unusable - they expect to fix the 7000 phone lines in next 3 months, all other phone lines will be fixed in THREE years (if the war stops soon, of course), they are shooting at television building (they want the Bosnian television to stop their program and transmit Serbian television), Serbian army is shooting at European observers (and killed one last Sunday) and at UN Peace forces. And more interesting thing for readers of ATI: since March 1992 it is FORBIDDEN to import modems into Serbia - the government found out that people can express their feelings about the war via modem and want to stop this. The communication with Sarajevo goes via Packet Radio (perhaps it is interesting - when Serbian army attacked Dubrovnik, one of Packet Radio hackers used to send us mail, lists of needed medicines and such via Packet Radio BBS - he didn't have electricity and used to run the thing using home-made power generator while hiding in shelter). BTW, Dubrovnik republic was the first republic to recognize independent America. I'll try to provide more information. BTW, new GreenNet/FidoNet conference started (=YUGO.ANTIWAR). Best regards from Slovenia, Dalibor ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Speaking of modems being banned.... Date: 1 Apr 92 14:53:00 GMT From: sgi!cdp!dcaulkins@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU (Dave Caulkins) Subject: Moscow modem hunt The Moscow Modem Hunt an article by Kirill Maslentsin in COMMERSANT Weekly, No. 13, March 23-30 1992, p.14 published by the Moscow Weekly Commersant. Starting from April 1st, the Commercial Service of the Moscow City Telephone Network (Proizvodstvennoe Ob'edinenie MGTS) will detect the unregistered modems. The experts doubt that this action, objectively necessary, can be carried out quickly, because the Commercial Service of the MGTS finds itself yet in a stage of organization. According to Alexander Shambazov, Deputy Director of the PO MGTS, approximately 100,000 modems are currently in use in Moscow. Shambazov was unable to say how many of them had been registered. Up-to-date, every Telephone Service node in Moscow used to register the modems separately (usually, at owner's request), and MGTS does not have the consolidated information. The Commercial Service, created recently by the MGTS, will compile the general database on modem owners. This department will detect the "illegal" modems whose owners do not pay for the use of these devices. In Mr. Shambazov's opinion, companies which run phone-based communications networks, sell information contained in databases, and the companies who manufacture and sell modems, will help to detect the "illegal" modems. The MGTS will request these companies to submit their user lists. It is not excluded that MGTS will obtain the required information, because all the companies implied are interested to come to terms with the Telco. Shambazov said that MGTS has the modem detection equipment. The experts consider that the "modem hunt", on its early stage, won't be very efficient, because the MGTS Commercial Service is still being organized, and its structure is weak. Nevertherless, one may expect that the frightened users of the "illegal devices" According to the information obtained, the offenders won't be fined. They'll simply be urged to conclude a contract (if the modem is certified). The usage fee will be 1296 R/year for the self-financed companies, and 324 R/year for the organizations financed by the State budget. But if a company uses a modem for commercial purposes (for example, selling information), it will have to pay 50,000 rubles per year. Nothing was said with regard to modems owned by individuals.

Disenchantment with the major political parties - cynicism scaling new heights - rumblings amongst the peasants - turmoil etc. etc. ... You would THINK that when questions multiply and problems pile up that new ideas and re-assessments of our condition are welcomed! Well, think again because it ain't necessarily so. What happens when a writer in a country like Australia sits down and provides just that, material which is based on research, experience amongst the peoples of this planet, and a probing mind that is - let's assume this for the moment - objective and commonsensical. Would the result - in this case, two books so far - find its way to the public? No. Not if the political network in the above mentioned country can help it. Because now one is up against the invisible system of politicians, colluding academics, and even some "independent" editors of the press, who all come together in a glorious constellation that puts walls where we need open fields and potholes where smooth roads should be. And so we continue: further disenchantment with the major political parties, cynicism scaling new heights, etc. etc. etc. - see 1st paragraph. Want to know the full story?

Slipping On Chunks (Standing In Puke) A New York Story By Ground Zero and Grey The gang and I were walking down St. Mark's Place This drunk chick was puking It was such a disgrace! She was slipping on chunks! Later some people were in the very same spot We yelled, "You're standing in puke!" They were really shocked They were slipping on chunks! Paul went to a 2600 meet He puked all over He's so unelyte He was slipping on chunks! Will got trashed and went to 54 That kid puked all over the dance floor They were slipping on chunks! The crew went to a restaurant called "Around The Clock" The food was so bad, we puked on the spot We were slipping on chunks! I went to my apartment on the 29th floor Leaned out the window and puked on a whore She was slipping on chunks! My friend Joe saw a video called "The Rookie" It was so bad he said he flipped his cookies. He was slipping on chunks! My buddy Tom went over to Tompkins Square He puked and puked No one noticed nor cared! All the homeless and the punks Were slipping on chunks! This bum was selling "Street News" My pal Jay puked all over his shoes Another bum tried to wash the windows of my car I puked in his face I caught him off guard They were slipping on chunks! Definitions St. Marks Place - ultra trendy New York hangout 2600 meet - monthly meeting for 2600 (hacking) magazine readers 54 - Studio 54; trendy dance club Tompkins Square - New York park where homeless and anarchist politicos hang out (not a great place) Street News - newspaper sold by homeless people whose profits are "supposed to" go to the homeless Anyway, we heard that Woody Allen was making a movie called "New York Stories II", to follow his "New York Stories" movie, which was composed of 3 independent parts (short stories). We thought "Slipping On Chunks" would be a great part of "New York Stories II". So we sent it in to him. We said we would set it to music and it would be really c00l! We haven't heard from Woody yet, but I'm sure he got a kick out of it!!! ;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;. How to Build Your Own Underground Television Transmitter Using Commercially Available Parts Outlaw Telecommandos Yes, for some time now it has been possible to construct a clandestine television station, which you can operate from your Telecommando Lair, or modify for Mobile Media Guerrilla campaigns. We have named this device the Snow Box, due to its cool nature, and the snow seen on blank television channels waiting to be commandeered. To put together a TV station you will need this stuff: A VCR or Camcorder with video or RF outputs A Ham Radio 6-meter Band Linear amplifier (This boosts the RF signal from the VCR for broadcasting) (The Linear Amp should have a bandwidth of 6 MHz for best results) A cable television RF distribution amplifier may also be used. Coaxial cable with UHF connectors (Connects the Linear Amp to the Antenna) A cable-TV patch cable with an F-connector and a UHF connector (To connect the RF signal to the Linear Amp) (F-connectors are the small ones used with cable TV) (UHF connectors are the large ones used for Ham Radio) If your VCR does not have RF outputs: An external RF modulator (converts video to channel 3,6,12 etc.) a cable with RCA connectors (a standard stereo cord is ok) A 6-meter Ham radio antenna. If you do not have a pre-made 6-meter antenna: About 20 feet of strong wire 3 ceramic antenna insulators another UHF connector Likely places to get the linear amplifier, connectors and cables is a Ham Radio swapmeet, a Ham club news- letter's classified ads, a Buy-Sell-Trade paper like The Recycler, or at a store specializing in Ham gear. RF modulators are available at specialty video stores, or major VCR dealers. Setting Up the Transmitter: Using a VCR with RF out: [VCR/RF]F------U[Linear Amp]U-------U[Antenna] weak RF Power RF Using an External RF Modulator: [VCR]R--R[RFModulator]----U[LinearAmp]U----U[Antenna] video weak RF Power RF Diagram Symbols: U UHF-connectors (Ham radio) F F-connectors (cable TV) R RCA connectors (stereos) --- coax, cables, wires [] devices (name of device in brackets) ceramic insulator (the kind with a hole at each end) Building The Dipole Antenna: wire wire ---------------------++---------------------- | | Short coax | | [U] UHF connector The antenna is set up much like a clothesline with the wires tethered straight out horizontally. The outer insulators are used to isolate the antenna from the tether lines, which should be rope or nylon cords for good results. The inner insulator isolates a gap between the two long wires of the antenna. The length of the wires used for the antenna is critical. Look up the length in feet for the channel you want to use in the table below & make each of the two long wires that length. As a rule of thumb, a wire half-wave antenna's length in feet is equal to 468 divided by the frequency in MHz. **************************************** VHF Television Channel Data ---------------------------------------- TV MHz ---carrier--- antenna channel range video sound lengths ------- ----- ----- ----- ------- 2 54-60 55.25 59.75 8.47ft 3 60-66 61.25 65.75 7.64ft 5 76-82 77.25 81.75 6.05ft 6 82-88 83.25 87.75 5.62ft 7 174-180 175.25 179.75 2.67ft 8 180-186 181.25 185.75 2.58ft 9 186-192 187.25 191.75 2.49ft 10 192-198 193.25 197.75 2.42ft 11 198-204 199.25 193.75 2.34ft 12 204-210 205.25 209.75 2.28ft 13 210-216 211.25 215.75 2.21ft (All frequencies in MHz) (Lengths are for half-wave antennas) **************************************** For Further information: Look in the ARRL Handbook published by the American Radio Relay League for detailed plans & theory for antennas, transmitters & linear amplifiers. The info in that book can be used for setting up an underground AM or FM radio station. Public Education: Make a videotape of each step in the process of constructing your transmitter. Show this tape in your broadcasts, "For informational purposes only", of course. Short-burst zipping: From a fixed or mobile base of operation show short snippets of graffiti-like computer graphics, quick subliminal messages, images & suggestions, or brief phreaker manifestos. Commercials are an opportune time to break into TV broadcasts. Live call-in shows: Using a Cheese Box, or other device for receiving untraceable phone calls and a video camera do a live call-in show. Encourage people to call in using Red, Blue, and other phreaking boxes. Cable TV Piracy: With modifications it may be possible to feed the power RF signal directly into a cable TV system, overriding cablecasts or comandeering unused channels. Mobile Operation: Using storage batteries and a 110-volt inverter the transmitter may be modified for mobile use to avoid detection by the FCC during long broadcasts. Battery operated mobile linear amps and portable camcorders are also available. -------------------------------------------------------- Welp, that's all for ATI60.
