WHOA IS ME

At the moment neither my Intermind account nor the Unicycle Web/FTP site are working perfectly. I have ordered replacements for both. I would like to thank Jason Kohles for his considerable efforts in setting up commercial sites for both Oceania and the Ameran Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. Among the many who helped me remotely restart the Oceania web site, I would like to thank Otto Makela and Brad Threatt. Otto played a key role in making the web site accessible again and Brad taught me some tricks which I had to use to get this posting successfully done.

I would also like to thank Steve Jackson for his help in locating an acceptable site in Houston for an e-mail account.

WHITE PAPERS

Peter Alan Kasler has agreed to write a paper on personal weapons in Oceania.

Peter is a legal consultant and expert witness specializing in weapons laws, firearms, Glocks, threat management, wound ballistics, use-of-force, tactical training, juvenile sociopathy, and obsessive psychopathy.

Peter has written several books and many articles on the above subjects, including a weapons laws publication that is widely-used among legal and judicial personnel. He is the author of the only book written about Glock firearms, and is currently working on its sequel. He has other books currently in process about federal weapons laws, certain specialized areas of criminal and weapons laws, and other similar things.

Peter is an Adjunct Professor at San Francisco State University, currently teaching a couse titled The Conflict Between Personal Responsibility and Governmental Control. He writes three regularly- appearing columns in national publications, one entirely devoted to political commentary, a second devoted to answering readers' questions about weapons laws, and the third a combination of those topics.

He regularly works with members of the California Legislature in the areas of his expertise (among those listed above, is considered to be the leading expert on licenses to carry concealed weapons [CCWs]), and is heading a new non-for-profit trust designed to achieve CCW reform in California first, then on a national level.

He has written and presented white papers to both government and private groups, including one personally requested by California Governor Pete Wilson for his Crime Summit 1994.

Jim Davidson has agreed to write a white paper on sovereignty and Oceania.

People are currently writing white papers on the following topics:

  1. The money system of Oceania.
  2. Standardization of weights and measures in Oceania
  3. Drug use in Oceania
  4. Air travel in and around Oceania.
  5. Sea based power generation in Oceania.
  6. Personal weapons in Oceania.
  7. Sovereignty and Oceania.

U.S. $250,000 LEGACY

After giving our bank account number to the "Solicitors and Advocates of the Supreme Court of Nigeria" our entire bank account was wiped out and we are now penniless. Whoa is the Atlantis Project. Just kidding folks.

I obviously wasn't clear enough in my last posting. Despite saying "perhaps, this is one of the many fraud schemes in Nigeria, where I will be hit with endless processing fees yet the money promised will never materialize." I still received many panicked e-mails and even one phone call warning me about the serious fraud problem in Nigeria. I received stories of wiped out bank accounts, kidnap situations, and overall bad stories about Nigeria. For those who don't know, even the official bank of Nigeria has been known to issue phony bank drafts.

OCEANIA ORACLE LOGO

I would like to thank Vern Hart in his effort to get us an ASCII logo for this newsletter. He found someone named Giles who produced the following:

Do the readers think this size is acceptable? Should we try something smaller? Or should we abandon this line of thought?

Footnote: Giles created these logos with the program available at ftp.wwa.com/pub/scarecrow/gifscii/gifscii.exe. He used grey scale and 16 colors for best results.

PASSPORTS

Of the three names suggested, the Oceania Pioneer's Journal received the most votes so this name will be used.

VIRTUAL SECRETARY

This unique spell checker based program needs a programmer to get this venture off the ground. Feel free to send us e-mail for the details. This will be the fourth project that I will be involved in with my venture capitalist.

IRC

IRC which stands for Internet Relay Channel allows people to converse with each other in real time. I would be glad to set up times for people to talk on the #oceania channel. If you are interested, please send me e-mail along with the times that would be convenient for you to talk on the channel. First an IRC channel, then a TV channel...

ALT.CULTURE.VIRTUAL.OCEANIA

Titus Brown has been added to the moderator waiting list. Once the newsgroup takes off I will start expanding it beyond two moderators.

Access to this group has become fairly widespread so I expect it to take off over the next week. If you wish to start receiving the newsgroup even before it has reached your site, send e-mail to brown@krl.caltech.edu.
