You know, I really can't stand it when the same old conspiracies in the
RISKS digest are weirder than the conspiracies in THIS list.

Subject: One of Cliff Stoll's `Wily Hackers' dead (suicide?)
According to German publications, the `Wily Hacker' Karl Koch, of Hannover,
FR Germany, died Friday last week, probably by suicide. His body was found
burnt (with gasoline) to death, in a forest near Celle (a German town near
Hannover where he committed his hacks, as had been observed by German Post).
Koch was one of the 2 hackers who confessed their role in the KGB hack to
the public prosecutors, therewith bringing the case to public attention.
As German newspapers report, he probably suffered from a psychic disease: he
thought he was permanently observed by alien beings named Illimunates' which
tried to kill him. Probably, he had internalized the role of `Captain Hagbard'
(his pseudonym in the hacking scene), taken from a US book, who (like him)
suffered from supervision by the Illuminates. Police officials evidently think
that Koch committed suicide (though I learned, that there are `some circum-
stances' which may also support other theories; no precise information about
such moments are reported).
According to German police experts, K. Koch's role in the KGB case as in daily
life can properly be understood when reading this book (which I couldnot get
until now, so I cannot control the adequacy of this theory!). Does anybody
have more evidence about cases of 'hacking' connected to moments of psychic
anomalies, where hackers internalize roles of artificial persons and live
in worlds which they internalize after having read corresponding stories?

Greetings Brothers and Sisters,
I am sending out a petition for your help. Last night at mycare group
meeting, I was asked to read learn about the New Age movement and give a
presentation to the group. I have purchased a book on the subject and have
begun to read, and I have to admit, what I read looks quite dangerous.
I would like to know what you know about the new age movement, and
dangers
you perceive, and what defenses you have set against it.
I have to give my presentation next Wednesday night, so I will be
spending a
good amount of time on this topic this weekend. I will welcome list
discussion
or private mail.
