Re: [ga] New TLD White Paper released

["Jim Fleming" <JimFleming@ameritech.net>]

The legal mechanism is quite simple. There are 13 pieces of gear (iron) systems spread around the world.
They are operated by the I* society insiders. Some of the widely-used 32-bit, toy, legacy, DNS software
has those 13 pieces of gear, more or less hard-wired into the configuration information. People are not prone
to change it, and if they do, the I* society thugs (like a labor union) strong-arm them into changing back, with
the fear their packets will be black-holed at key points on the amateur-run Internet back-bone. The legal
mechanism is that the people who OWN and OPERATE those 13 pieces of gear, dance in a tigh-knit circle
pointing to each other and to their cronies as the source for keeping out anyone they have not approved. They
use their influence from, in and around, various government agencies (and some of the 13 are government agencies)
to portray to the average netizen that some higher-level tank-driving missle-tossing government official is backing
them in their quest to control all of the network resources, cash-flow, etc. The roots of the club run deep into
psuedo-academic organizations funded by spooks who can derail anyone that gets in the way, or have them
tossed off a cliff, all for the good of the I* mafia...who write the documents...design the software and cash the checks...
