0.01 EDITOR'S LETTER
Welcome to FNA international number 3. The first issue since
november 1998, (and the third issue ever - the first number
was released in december 1996).
It have been plans for an international edition of Flashback
News Agency (FNA) under a long time, but the project have
been put aside due to lack of time.
In scandinavia FNA today have over 93 000 subscribers.
Foremost swedish people, but even subscribers from Norway,
Denmark, Finland and Iceland (who all are countrys where the
people understand swedish).
FNA international have today over 2 000 subscribers, divided
on 48 different toplevel-domains. Amongst the subscribers
there are as many diverse nationalitys such as Russia,
Macedonia, Brazil, Romania, Japan, Argentina, Israel, Puerto
Rico, Australia, Turkey, Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia,
Greece, Singapore, Colombia, the Ivory Coust, Bahamas and
Armenia.
The aim is to have also the international issue of FNA to
become as continuous as it's scandinavian counterpart, with
one issue every month. For now, however, the releases will
have to be more sporadic.

1.02 'MEIN KAMPF' PROVES BIG HIT IN CZECH REPUBLIC
The publisher of a controversial Czech version of Adolf
Hitler's "Mein Kampf" said a second printing of the book is
being planned after the first printrun sold out in three
days, CTK reported. Michal Zitko, director of the Prague-
based Otakar II publishing house, said the "unprecedented
media campaign, for which I did not pay and in which I did
not participate," led to the quick sale of 4,000 copies
from the first printing. Zitko went ahead with the printing
despite objections from Jewish and Romany organizations and
a formal request from the German embassy in Prague claiming
that the State of Bavaria owned the copyright to the book.
Zitko said the book is "part of our history, and everyone
should have the right to know it and make up his own
mind.... I wanted to make people familiar with who Hitler
was and what his ideology was so that they could protect
themselves from it in the future."
=================================================================
1.03 INTERNATIONAL WHORE DAY
We celebrate the 25th Jubilee of the 2nd June with the big
Cult-Whore-Festival 2000 in Berlin!
What is 2nd of June?
On June 2, 1975 over 150 Prostitutes occupied the Saint
Nizlen Church in Lyon, France. In Protest of the
catastraphic situation for women working as Prostitutes,
the members of the church as well us the church hierarchy
were positive and in support of the women. The protest
spread to other cities, like Marseile, Montpellier,
Grenoble and Paris. Demands were made to the highest
officials for decent living and working conditions.
However, these demands were not taken seriously.
During this time murder of prostitutes and total repression
in the name of a battle against Pimps was common, husbands
and sons were being targeted as pimps. Hotels were no longer
willing to rent rooms to the women for fear of being
harresed by the police. Prostitution during this time was
dangerous and very difficult.
News of the church sit-in spread all over France as well as
to other countries, and more actions were being discussed
with church-members and other political women who were in
solidarity with the prostitutes. The women stated first of
all we are business women, and we are fighting for our
human rights.
On June 10, 1975 at 5am in the morning the police brought
the church occupation to a brutal end. In remembrance of
the occupation of Saint-Nizler-Church June 2 is declared
International Whore Day.
Since this day many whores and whore-projects and people
in solidarity world wide met in Berlin for Art, workshops,
Demos and much more...
This year we celebrate in UFA-Fabrik, Berlin a big Cult-
Whore-Week worldwide with plenty veteranes of the whore-
movement from all Continents with films + theaters +
exhibition competition + the carawan of love Meeting,
exchange, plans and other events from women and men all
over the world.
We rented also a beautiful church in the herstorical sence.

1.04 WELCOME TO THE "CANNABIS CASTLE"
Welcome to the "Cannabis Castle" - a museum where visitors
can take photos and touch any of the 2,000 marijuana plants
exhibited. And smoking, at least of a certain substance, is
most definitely allowed.
"It's like walking into a wonderland," said Patty Collins,
wearing a shirt that read, "Stoner Chicks Rule." She
marveled Tuesday at the size of one variety of cannabis
that was growing toward a ceiling of ultraviolet lights on
an estate in central Holland.
Collins, who owns a pipe store in Portland is in the
Netherlands for the 11th annual Cannabis Cup, the weeklong
potfest that draws several thousand people - mostly
Americans - to the drug-tolerant nation every year.
The so-called harvest festival is sponsored by the
American magazine High Times.
Participants in the Cannabis Cup pay $200 for the right to
judge the best cannabis of the year. The winner is crowned
on Friday from among the "coffee shops" of Amsterdam, where
hashish and marijuana can be purchased in small amounts.
Though technically illegal in the Netherlands, those soft
drugs are decriminalized and Dutch authorities don't
prosecute people who sell or use small amounts.
An added attraction to this year's festivities was
Tuesday's bus tour to the Cannabis Castle. A marijuana
user's mecca, the castle - owned by the Sensi Seed Co. -
produces potent strains of marijuana with names such as
"Northern Lights" and "Skunk."
Actually a stately 18th century home, the castle is tucked
in peaceful countryside 40 miles from the bustle of the
capital, Amsterdam.
Catacombs beneath the house protect the "mother plants,"
which generate the castle's crop. Some of the original
plants are more than 20 years old.
"Amazing," gushed Doug Biggs, an American who traveled from
Indiana to smoke the drug he says eases his frequent
migraine headaches.
Don Wirtshafter, an attorney from Athens, Ohio, was less
impressed by the castle's treasures.
"I made pot my issue," he says of his 25-year legal career.
"Everyone's so impressed - I see this all the time in my
travels."
Still, he enjoyed the castle's gourmet lunch buffet of
tangerines, smoked salmon sandwiches, Belgian chocolates,
and, of course, marijuana.
And what would a castle be without its king? A man dressed
as the "king of cannabis" in a red robe and makeshift crown
of marijuana stalks offered visitors snippets from branches
of the castle's newest offerings.
Most lit up their sweet-smelling samples after the communal
grace.
Linda Dronkers, co-owner of the castle and seed company with
her husband and son, gave tours Tuesday of her family home
as part of the event.
The castle's decor illustrates her affection for the plant.
Cushions on wicker chairs are stenciled with the five-
fingered marijuana leaf and prints on the wall show artists'
renderings of joint smoking.
"It's the most beautiful plant in the world," Dronkers said,
setting down a fresh-baked plate of hemp cookies.
"It's very spiritual," she added. "You have to give yourself
completely to the plant."
=================================================================
1.05 TWO ETHICAL QUESTIONS

2.01 SPANISH WEBPAGE CENSORSHIP STIRS DEBATE
Law enforcement officials may force a Spanish webpage to
shut down.
The site is operated by Asociation contra la tortura (ACT),
which is dedicated to exposing and investigating police
brutality cases in Spain. The group listed the names of
several prison guards who were accused of mistreating
prisoners. This list was posted on the ACT website.
Afterwards, the Agency for Data Protection, moving without
a court order, went to ACT's Internet service provider (ISP)
and got copies of the website's files (as well as a copy of
ACT's contract with its provider). In addition, the Agency
threatened to take down the website, a move that may occur
within the next few days.
A copy of the ACT website can be seen at

2.03 THE DOT SUCKS FOUNDATIONS
Two major consumer groups are pushing a new proposal for
protest website domain names.
Essential Information and the Consumer Project on Technology
have suggested several new URL categories. Among the
proposals was a ".sucks" class for websites that criticize
or condemn other organizations. Under this plan, the money
from registering such names would be used to promote free
speech on the Internet, through "The Dot Sucks Foundation".
The International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN), which currently handles domain name registration,
has not decided whether to incorporate Nader's ideas.
For more on this proposal, see Declan McCullagh, "A Ralph
Nader Plan That 'Sucks'", Wired News, March 2, 2000, at
http://www.wired.com/news/print/0,1294,34691,00.html

=================================================================
2.04 CHINA MAKING "UNHEALTHY THINGS" ON INTERNET ILLEGAL
Chinese authorities will allow citizens to access the
Internet, but with a big catch.
That was the message after Beijing formulated a plan to
increase Internet accessibility in Shanghai. This
experimental project will allow residents to go on-line
through a combined telecommunications network, which will
also provide cable television transmissions. However,
Shanghai mayor Xu Kuangdi noted that any computer files
that were deemed to be "unhealthy things" would not be
tolerated. China heavily censors Internet content, and has
banned the websites of many foreign news services,
including those of CNN and the New York Times. Worse still,
Communist Chinese authorities may issue new restrictions on
Internet free expression within the next few weeks.
For more on China's possible new censorship schemes, read

2.05 US GOVERNMENT WANT LESS ANONYMITY
If US Government officials have their way, it may get a lot
harder to surf the World Wide Web in private.
A top-level working group (commissioned by President
Clinton) recently issued a report entitled "The Electronic
Frontier: The Challenge of Unlawful Conduct Involving the
Use of the Internet". Among other things, the group called
the anonymity of the Internet a "thorny issue". The report
seemed to suggest that current laws be changed to strip away
personal privacy protections, making it easier for law
enforcement to track Internet users.
The report caused great concern among observers. The
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU-a GILC member) sent a
letter to US Attorney General Janet Reno, saying that the
report's suggestions might undermine individual rights in
cyberspace. The letter reminded Reno that "Anonymity on the
Internet is not a thorny issue; it is a Constitutional
right." The letter also expressed fears that the report's
proposals could harm journalists by unmasking the identities
of confidential sources.
The Working Group's report is located at
http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/cybercrime/append.htm

2.06 FUCK NBC DOT COM
Apparently the corporate media feels it not only owns the
Internet, but that it can control opinions and expression
as well.
In march 2600 magazine received the following letter via
e-mail. It concerned one of many "freedom of expression"
sites that 2600 is involved with.
----- Forwarded message -----
From: "Lusins, Gillian (NBC)" Gillian.Lusins@nbc.com
To: "'emmanuel@2600.com'" emmanuel@2600.com
Subject: Website
Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 17:43:47 -0500
X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0)
Dear Mr. Goldstein,
I am counsel to National Broadcasting Company, Inc.
You are listed as the technical contact for the
following site: www.fucknbc.com. The site is currently
listed as belonging to "CORE - THE INTERNET COUNCIL OF
REGISTRARS, and the site is currently pointing to NBC.com.
The use of NBC's name in this domain name constitutes
trademark infringment, and is also a violation of our
copyright interest in the NBC.com site. Please be aware
that a letter is being sent to the listed owners of this
site, and that if the site is not taken down immediately,
and arrangements made to cease and discontinue all use of
this name, we will pursue all necessary legal remedies
including instituting litigation in the appropriate
venues.
Please contact me to discuss this matter upon receipt of
this letter at gillian.lusins@nbc.com.
Thank you.
Gillian Lusins
Because e-mail can be altered electronically, the
integrity of this communication cannot be guaranteed.
----- End forwarded message -----
It's clear to us that the people at NBC have become
separated from some key bits of logic so we will try and
help them out.
Free speech is at the heart of the net. While companies
and other entities are entitled to protect their trademarks,
it is entirely acceptable for sites like www.aolsucks.com,
www.fuckfrance.com, and even www.fuckgeorgewbush.com to
exist without fear of harassment.
On 2600's website, the magazine now invites NBC (or anyone
else, but let's give them first crack at it) to register
fuck2600.com or 2600sucks.com. And if 2600 feel like
registering www.nbcsucksbecausetheyhavelawyerswithtoomuch-
timeontheirhands.com, no legal threat is going to convince
them not to fight for this very fundamental freedom.
Ofcource NBC may have been confused because they were
pointing www.fucknbc.com to www.nbc.com. Perhaps they
thought 2600 had STOLEN their web site. We've seen bigger
leaps in corporate logic so this conclusion is entirely
possible. Let us be clear - 2600 were merely POINTING one
site to another, something that is perfectly acceptable
in the world of the Internet. If your mortal enemy decides
to point his/her site at your site, there's not a damn
thing you can do about it, nor should you want to. It's
how the net works. But, since NBC has brought it up, 2600
would like to have this site do something more than what
it's doing now. As a first step towards this, they have
pointed the site to this new material they so graciously
provided 2600 with. They would now like to see a more
comprehensive fucknbc site become established. Why not
e-mail them if you'd like to put together such a site.
And if NBC has the guts to apologize, they we'll post that
too.

2.08 PANASONIC - THE INTERNET PECKER
Panasonic has lisenced the cartoon character Woody Wood-
pecker as the Internet guide for it's new Web browser. But
just before it's launch, Panasonic suddenly pulled out. The
reason: their ads featured the slogan 'Touch Woody - The
Internet Pecker'. An American staff member at the internal
launch had explained to his embarrassed Japanese bosses what
'touch woody' and 'pecker' meant in American slang.
=================================================================
2.09 EU WANTS TO COLLECT TERRORISM RELATED INFO ON THE INTERNET
The intelligence services of the European Union are
developing a system for the exchange of terrorism related
information on the Internet. "Namely through the Internet
[...] has sprung a community specially devoted to its
undue exploitation and improper use', according to Portugal,
the present Presidency of the European Union.
The Portuguese Presidency presented its views to the
working party on terrorism, a European group of high-ranking
intelligence officers that is part of the European Council
for Justice and Home Affairs. In the document (5724/00
ENFOPOL 6, Brussels 4 february 2000), the Portuguese
Presidency states:
"Such type of activity permits those groups, who practice
several unlawfull acts, namely terrorism, cult related,
neo-nazism, cyberterrorism, racism etc, the dissemination
and propagandisation of their ideals. Further, the ease and
celerity in the establishment of contacts allows for the
internationalisation of such phenomena and, simultaneously,
permits a greater adhesion and recruitment for their cause."
Portugal proposes the adoption of a system of "Interchange
of Open Information Collected on the Internet", with the
purpose of making available "better information, as well as
in increasing the efficacy in the use of its resources".
The system should be capable of affording to all members an
"effective tool in the detection of information, in the
context of the fight against terrorism".
Portugal wants to create a common lexicon made up of a set
of keywords in different European languages. It seems to be
very concerned with the tech-slang of hackers, "such as for
instance the use of the letter z in the end of words by the
hacker community (passwordz, gamez, crackz, softwarez)."
The ignorance of such mechanisms makes it, according to the
document, "an extremely hard task to achieve good results
in the research".
After research, results are analysed and sent by encrypted
email to the national intelligence services, in accordance
with a pre-analysis of its contents. As a final product, a
periodic report on the facts detected will be developed by
each country.
During the meeting of the working party on terrorism, the
delegations embraced the proposals of the Portuguese
Presidency. The representative of Europol, which has also
a task in counter-terrorism, declared that Europol could
further examine the proposal and make suggestions for the
concrete implementation.
The intelligence services are not the only European law
enforcement agencies that consider Internet to be a great
threat for public order and internal security. The custom
administrations of the member states of the European Union
are also preparing an "action plan for the fight against
Internet fraud" (document 5254/00 CRIMORG 6 ENFOCUSTOM 4,
Brussels 17 january 2000). According to the action plan,
Internet is a source of taxfraude and the trade in fake-
products, tobacco and drugs. The action plan proposes the
creation of national 'central Internet control squads',
which must act as national contactpoints for informal
forms of cooperation. This informal network should monitor
Internet "as strictly as possible", according to the action
plan.
The custom authorities should have access to documents that
are related to transactions under investigation. Therefore,
according to the action plan, "it should be desirable if
providers would be obliged to store digital documents."
Also, the customs should have access to financial
information stored by banks, to trace the origin of goods.
=================================================================
2.10 HOLLYWOOD SEEKS BAN ON DVD WEB LINKS
The entertainment industry, through the DVD Content Control
Association (DVD CCA) and the Motion Picture Association of
America (MPAA), have sued to prevent Internet users from
linking to websites that have DeCSS. DeCSS was a primitive
program to help users of the Linux operating system play
DVDs on their computers. A court in New York will set a
trial date for one of these cases. Previously, courts in
both New York and California had already issued preliminary
injunctions that barred computer users from posting DeCSS
on their websites.
Many experts are concerned that these actions may stifle
free expression in cyberspace. Robin Gross of the
Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) noted that the motion
picture industry's attempted ban on links to DeCSS were "a
quick way to kill speech on the Net". EFF currently
represents defendants in both the New York and California
cases.
Some of the links DVD CCA and MPAA wants to be illegal:

2.11 BRITISH TELECOM TO CLOISTER CONTROVERSIAL SITES?
Several corporate executives, including a high-level
official at British Telecom (BT), are currently discussing
plans to restrict websites with controversial content
through their domain names.
These discussions were brought to light in an e-mail message
from John C. Lewis, BT's representative to the International
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). ICANN
was created several years ago to deal with several Internet
protocol related issues, including domain name registration.
In the message, which had been accidentally sent to a public
list, Lewis suggested that sites with offensive material
should be branded with special domain names. In particular,
Lewis said that such webpages should be allowed to use some
of the new domain names categories that ICANN is currently
formulating.
Afterwards, Lewis claimed that these measures were necessary
to protect "vulnerable members of the community."
For Lewis' original message, visit

=================================================================
2.12 BURMA SILENCES POLITICAL SITES
The Burmese government has issued new rules which bar
political dissent on the Internet.
The new regulations prohibit any commentary considered to be
"detrimental to government policies". Myanmar Post and
Telecommunications, which is the country's sole Internet
service provider, issued these standards several weeks ago,
according to Burmese television.
These moves come months after Reporters Sans Frontieres had
labeled the ruling Burmese regime one of the twenty greatest
enemies of the Internet, along with such countries as North
Korea, Libya and Iraq.
=================================================================
2.13 SECRET CENSORSHIP SOFTWARE REVELATIONS
Recent events have provided a glimpse at a top secret
project which may be able to censor Internet content.
On December 9-10, 1999, the World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO) held a "Workshop on Service Provider
Liability" in Geneva, Switzerland. Among the papers
presented was a document that mentioned the German Rights
Protection System (RPS). RPS is a highly secretive software
package which is reportedly capable of filtering out
controversial materials from cyberspace. While few details
on RPS have been made publicly available, many observers
fear that this potentially powerful program might be used
to stifle free expression on the Internet.
Reports indicate that RPS is already being field tested.
A recent article in the German publication Telepolis
suggests that in spring 2000, German Internet Service
Providers who have border gateway routers may be asked to
install the program, in an effort to stamp out questionable
content.
For press coverage of RPS developments(in German), read

Rhino records will release the 2-CD Devo anthology,

contributions from the pioneering new-wave band, which came

b-sides such as "Nu-Tra Speaks" and "Soo-Bawlz"; and two

Wally Sparks."
The set also features "The Words Get Stuck In My Throat," a
new song recorded exclusively for "Pioneers." As expected,

3.03 PRANKS AT THE AIRPORT
The bloke who invented them, conned the tannoy announcer
into saying them by pretending they were foreign names.
This is his story.....
"We'd go and sit on the balcony at Terminal 3 at Heathrow,
directly under one of the speakers as the roof is low. We
put the tape machine in our bag with the microphone poking
out of the top. We'd look for a flight that'd arrived in
the last 40 minutes from somewhere where you'd expect
mental names, then write a letter saying "Could you go and
pick up etc. etc. from flight, etc". That way, it looked
like it'd been arranged in advance as the flight arrival
details were written on the note. We also wore an ID-style
badge and carried a mobile so that we looked like taxi
drivers. One of us would get the first one read out and
then the other did the second.
We'd pretend to be unable to pronounce it and then hand
them the bit of paper with the name written on it. Long
winded, but well worth it!
These are the names written down:
1. Arheddis Varkenjaab and Aywellbe Fayed
2. Arhevbin Fayed and Bybeiev Rhibodie
3. Aynayda Pizaqvick and Malexa Kriest
4. Awul Dasfilshabeda and Nowaynayda Zheet
5. Makollig Jezvahted and Levdaroum DeBahzted
6. Steelaygot Maowenbach and Tuka Piziniztee "
And this is what they sound like:
1. "I hate this fucking job, and I will be fired."
2. "I've just been fired, and bye-bye everybody."
3. "I need a piss quick, and my legs are crossed."
4. "Oo-ah, that's better and now I need a shit."
5. "My colleague just farted, and left the room, the
bastard."
6. "Still, I got my own back and took a piss in his tea."
We got rumbled doing the "My colleague just, etc". They
actually threatened to arrest us as apparently they'd
actually had complaints over the previous weeks! We were
toying with doing it again just to see what they'd arrest
us for, but we rang Chris and all he said was, "go to
Gatwick!". This is the reason the last one sounds so crap
'cos Gatwick is a much noisier place and the ceilings are
high, and it was difficult to get near a speaker. The
lengths we had to go to..."

3.04 PORN STAR GOT HEART ATTACK IN THE JOB
Porn star Buck Adams put a little too much of the method
into his acting when he had a heart attack on the set of
Perverted Stories 25.
Adams suffered the coronary while in a steamy clinch with
starlet Aspen Brook, turned purple and was declared
medically dead at the scene. Luckily, paramedics were able
to zap the flagging stud back to life. Only two days later,
he was discharged from hospital and into the arms of Brook,
whom he promptly married.
Adding an even stranger kink to the tale, the scene in which
Adams' ticker gave up while he was giving out was supposed
to end in Buck's character having a fake heart attack. The
director might not have got that far, but the not-so-
chastened star is determined to finish the movie. Even if it
kills him.
=================================================================
3.05 THE JAIL - A NEW RESTAURANT OPEN IN A CONCENTRATION CAMP
The world's most tasteless restaurant has been forced to
redecorate after complaints from an Israeli diplomat made
them realise that their concentration camp theme really
wasn't a good idea. Uri Gutman, Israel's representative in
Taiwan, chanced upon the Jail in a fashionable downtown area
of Taipei. The diner was decorated with picture of
concentration camp gates and inmates, had a 'Gas chambers'
sign placed over the toilets and armed watchtowers painted
onto the walls. All these have since been removed, although
the restaurant is still divided into 'cells' and a mural of
starving concentration camp inmates remains visible.
Jail owner Stone Cheng said his diner had been designed
without malice. "We did this very innocently," he claimed.
"These things are very far away from us." Gutman agreed that
the incident stemmed from ignorance rather than sinister
political motives. Though why the Taiwanese would be happy
to have a night out in a pseudo death camp remains
unexplained.

3.06 PLEASE KILL ME; I'M A FAGGOT NIGGER JEW
Rachel Schrieber is a video artist, writer and photographer.
Currently she teaches at the Herron School at Indiana
University in Indianapolis. This piece is based on her most
recent videotape, Please Kill Me; I'm a Faggot Nigger Jew.
In this tape, she investigates how the history and
iconography of the Holocaust have found their way into
contemporary sexuality.

Re: Nazi-fetish SM
Hi Everyone,
I am currently conducting research about people who
practice Nazi-fetish SM. If you define yourself as a
practitioner, and would like to participate, please

Thanks,

reincarnation, Asian.

(racist) Single White Females and would love to torture a
sexy Jewish woman using electric shocks, forced enemas,
very tight bondage, etc.
Please describe why you enjoy Nazi-fetish SM: Possibly
because its a very severe form of SM, and it's real.

Reply to: justine@aol.com
Your age: 39
Your gender: Female but gay male wannabe A"FTM". I play
with the gay boys, cross-dress completely as a man, and
am in gender reassessment counseling.
Do you, and if so how do you define your sexual
orientation: Isn't the above confusing enough?
Do you, and if so, how do you define your cultural/
religious/national background: Raised in middle class
suburbs of Chicago, IL; Italian; Puerto Rican; intensive
Roman Catholic (no religion now).
Please describe in detail what is involved in Nazi-fetish
SM for you: I would like to send you a few articles I have
written. I have begun work on a zine on this topic. I am
willing to snail mail it to you, as it is too large and
has too many photos to try and send by e-mail. The zine
has several photo spreads, a few very intense stories of
Nazis torturing and killing Jews, and an editorial about
why I think Nazis are hot (despite my real life anti-Nazi
views). I hope to be able to publish it someday
She insisted on sending me her zine, so I gave her my real
name and address. I opened the envelope that had arrived in
the mail. Inside were some typed stories, and some
photographs. I looked at the photograph first; I saw a
picture of a man shot from below, his arms crossed on his
chest and a cap all but covering his eyes. He was wearing
chaps, high black leather boots, a cap, and an armband which
bore the insignia of the SS. His chest was buff, and at his
crotch was an enormous bulge. One of his booted legs was
placed firmly on the chest of another person. This person
was not in the light that shone upward; it was not possible
to tell if this other person was a man or a woman. There was
something odd, though, about the way in which this boot was
placed: it seemed just that, placed, not stepping, so it
seemed that this was not a snapshot snapped amidst an act of
violence, but rather a pose.
I read the stories. They were stories of Jews being
tortured. The scenes of torture were sexual, people being
forced to accept urine in their mouths, bodies being
penetrated by riding crops. I am aware of my crotch; does
this mean I am turned on? But this is not how I feel, I feel
fuzzy. I feel like I don't know where my body is in relation
to these words.
I suddenly find myself thinking about a doll I had when I
was a child. I thought about the day my friend came over,
and had her doll dressed in a Christmas outfit. She asked me
if I was going to get one for mine. I told her no, my doll
was Jewish. "No she can't be," my friend said, "they're both
the same." I looked at the two dolls, clutched in our hands,
they looked exactly alike. They had the same blond hair, the
same painted-on stars in their painted-on blue eyes. "It
doesn't matter," said, "mine's Jewish."

If you were to ask about my background, I would tell you
that I was never a child. I am only part of this
imaginative space in which I hover, ready to disappear at
whim. I am confronted by your excesses, somewhere along
these lines.

Your age: 29 and 19
Your gender: Women
Do you, and if so how, do you define your sexual
orientation: Women who love women in a mistress/slave
relationship.
Do you, and if so how, do you define your cultural/
religious/national background: Racially pure, genetically
perfect Aryan Americans. Norse pagan hell-raisers' cult,
right wing American nationalist.
Please describe in detail what is involved in Nazi-fetish
SM for you: Dressing up in SS or SA uniforms, in whole or
in part, some authentic, some I had custom made, some like
men's, most are women's. Also women's fashions of the
time, some authentic, some I had custom made. Listening to
speeches or music of the time while we do it. The Purest
Blood-Holy Soil Ritual. The activities at the parties we
go to. We are part of a Nazi underground organization that
throws social and cultural events in addition to political
action. I cannot reveal too much about this.
Please describe why you enjoy Nazi-fetish SM: My
grandfather was an SS officer. We are pure Aryans. We
don't believe in the more tyrannical aspects of National
Socialism, but we do believe in the science of human
eugenics. We are the Master Race. The new generation of
American Nazis are very different than the old Germans.
We are modem, hi-tech, and our time is coming again! It's
fun and we love the art, clothes, music, flags, symbolism
and cultural icons of the time.

Let us say that any person who lived through the time of

Reply to: justine@aol.com
Your age: 24
Your gender: Male.
Do you, and if so, how do you define your sexual
orientation: Ooh, hard one. I oscillate all over the
damned place, usually avoid the het label, used to define
myself as gay, but being involved with two women (one hi,
one dyke) makes that real hard. Bisexual leaning toward
gay? I dunno. Let me know if this is an important question
to answer.
Do you, and if so, how do you define your cultural/
religious/national background: Hmm. National: Israeli,
mostly 14 of my 23 years were spent in Israel.
Cultural/Religious: Jewish.
Please describe in detail what is involved in Nazi-fetish
SM for you: Nazi imagery doesn't get me off, exactly, it
doesn't make me hot, or hard. It's effective and powerful,
which means that my dom can use it to induce a certain
state of victimization in me. This is especially true
because I know my dom has some Nazi ancestors (as in,
Germans who fought in WWII). If you're looking for detail
Anything that seriously deals with German/Jew interactions
will get to me, usually My owner and I have joked about
it, certainly I'm my owner's little Jewish lampshade, we
joke.
Please describe why you enjoy Nazi-fetish SM: Out of the
context of the scene, Nazi imagery scares the shit out of
me but the fact that it's so powerful and frightening is
part of what makes it so attractive; it's a powerful tool
for my dom to drive right through my defenses to my soul.
Add to that the extremely strong anti-German and anti-Nazi
childhood I had. I was born and raised in Israel, went to
see Yad Vashem in Jerusalem (the memorial to the
Holocaust), and was taught a whole lot about it in
elementary school. Add to that the fact that my personal
political beliefs seem to conflict so strongly with the
Nazi philosophy (I tend to be a rather vehement liberal
libertarian), and the fact that it's such a taboo, and
you might be scratching the surface.

You ask about my desires. We want that which we are not,

Do you, and if so, how do you define your sexual
orientation: Cyberqueer faggot dyke leather switch. A

predator who can also bare her throat in turn, huntress
and prey.
Do you, and if so how do you define your cultural/
religious/national background: Wiccan, traditional Celtic.
Please describe in detail what is involved in Nazi-fetish
SM for you: It's just another fun fantasy to me. Out of
respect for people's sensitivities to the recent and very
real atrocities committed by the Nazis, I do not make any
kind of public display of this particular scene, and
reserve it only for play with partners who specifically
request this of me. I don't personally mind playing with
this fantasy, but that's all it is for me. The idea of
real prejudice and hatred is not attractive or a turn-on
to me; my father and grandmother and uncle were put into
internment camps simply because they were Japanese, and
I consider that a real crime against humanity
Please describe why you enjoy Nazi-fetish SM: I've done
it a few times and found it fun and enjoyable. The idea of
playing the role of a cruel and beautiful Nazi torturer
who is absolutely brutal, absolutely vicious, is a turn-on
to me. Naturally, this fantasy image bears little or no
resemblance to actual historical reality, but it's fun to
play with anyhow
I like to play with "snuff" fantasies, real edge play
taking someone as far into the depths of terror and sheer
physical brutality as is safely possible.
The Nazi scenario is only one possible setting for this
fantasy which is of course merely a fantasy! I am
meticulously careful and thoroughly skilled in playing
o
ut these scenarios with all manner of tools and toys,
and no one who plays with me ever actually gets hurt.
Well, they may say "ouch," and leave my dungeon with a
few welts and bruises, but they do leave with no harm
done.
The key here is consensuality and shared fantasy After a
brutal session of being a Nazi torturer with an
"unwilling" victim, I insist on having a come-down period
where we talk, and there are usually hugs and positive
stroking involved, reassuring my "victim" that the S&M
really was done from a space of caring and shared fantasy
role-playing, and was not born from actual hatred or
negativity or prejudice of any kind.
I receive an e-mail. "FTM" wants to hear my response to the
story and the photograph that she mailed to me. She says
that Randy's reaction to her stories on the Net were closed-
minded. She says she knows I will be objective, and she
wants to know what I think. I try to phrase my response,
which seems wholly inarticulable. I re-read the story. I get
to the bits with dialogue, epithets tossed to the victim,
"I'm going to send you to the showers with the others, I am
going to rip your filthy Jew body apart limb by limb." I
have to put it down.
I realize then that the problem is that the sender of the
story has crossed a boundary that was never meant to be
crossed. She sent something to me that Justine was supposed
to receive, and that Randy was supposed to analyze. As I
think about what I can write to her, I realize that my
emotional reaction is one part of my response; but Justine's
and Randy's responses are just as much mine, because I
created them in order to investigate.
Curiosity, a desire to understand, and an emotional
ambivalence are all aspects of my response. But if I tell
her this, I will reveal my fictions.

Flashback is politically and religiosly separate. Its
primary purpose of reporting is related to alternative
information of underground and subculture, but likewise
affiliated to comprehensive valuations that extend beyond
the ordinary conceptions of society, alongside attitudes and
inclinations in opposition with the conventional conceptions
of common society.
