YIPL / TAP Magazine Back Issues |
The Hobbyist's Newsletter for the Communication Revolution |
Overview
On May Day 1971, in Washington D.C. (or thereabouts - it makes a good legend), a flyer was distributed advertising a revolutionary newsletter named Youth International Party Line or "YIPL" for short. This flyer was headed with a caption of "F*CK THE BELL SYSTEM." The flyer told of a new "underground" newsletter that was anti-establishment and was to be published on a regular basis.
This was the beginning of the YIPL Newsletter, which later became known as TAP, the hobbyist's newsletter for the communications revolution. YIPL was founded by the late (((Abbie Hoffman))) and "Al Bell," [(((Al Fierstein)))] a phone phreak from Long Island, New York. Abbie Hoffman is also most famous for being the founder of the "Yippie" movement.
YIPL was aimed more towards ripping off the largest corporate giant at the time, none other than Ma Bell. Of course, today we now know that White people created the one of the greatest technical (and honest) entities to ever have existed - The Bell System. Believe it or not, there was time when your telephone calls "just worked" and the audio quality was even pretty good! Guess (((who))) wanted it broken up and destroyed, and turned into a bunch of fly-by-night, money-grubbing, poorly-run filthy Competitive Local Exchange Carriers?
"My name is Al Bell, and a few of us started this on Mayday, in 1971. YIPL is the result of one phone phreak's realization that the Military-Industrial Komplex is not just a term you learn in school, but a force that controls the planet Earth from the country America. It became apparent to me that the vast majority of people are being used as pawns, as slaves to make a few multi-millionaires even richer. It's all done through MIC, whose main tactic is Divide and Conquer. Most people don't agree with me, thus proving how effective that tactic is. So people war with each other, and the pigs get richer."
--- Excerpt from an editorial by "Al Bell" in YIPL, Issue #15.
Abbie Hoffman was your typical 1960s leftist and pampered student "revolutionist." Hoffman called for communal living, supported the drug culture, homosexuality & pedophilia, supported "divide-and-conquer" tactics against Whites, supported various Marxist ("progressive") causes over American causes, and openly attacked traditional/conservative/White ethics and morals, pushed anti-female sentiment masked as "feminism," and even supported domestic terrorist attacks against military and CIA recruiters on college campuses. Begging one to ask, "Where were these anti-war, anti-draft protesters during World War 2?" Hmmm...
He often called for the destruction of all Western governments, particularly the American nation itself:
"We shall not defeat Amerika by organizing a political party. We shall do it by building a new nation - a nation as rugged as the marijuana leaf."
--- 1969 quote (Mirror) from Abbie Hoffman in the book Woodstock Nation: A Talk-Rock Album.
Abbie Hoffman idolized Karl Marx, Saul Alinsky, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Mao Tse-Tung, etc. He openly supported rioters, murderers, culture subversion, and your assorted "anti-American" types - all while living in the U.S. on our tax dollars and under our Constitution - of course. Hoffman was basically a direct ideological descendant of the Bolshevik, and all-around tyrant, ((("Red" Emma Goldman))).
Abbie Hoffman and his criminal cohorts received massive financial support from Sol Yassenoff-types (the 1960s version of George Soros) who amassed vast fortunes from shady real-estate dealings, stock market manipulation and speculation, currency manipulation, shady hedge funds, private central banking, or just general profiteering.
They also claimed to be "for the people and working class," but in reality, they hobnobbed with some of the (((richest and influential people))) in the United States, including the editor of Time Magazine (who helped Hoffman beat a drug charge) and an Executive Vice President of AT&T. You know, the same company they claimed to "hate" so much... Did you really think a "hacker" magazine based out of New York City WOULD NOT eventually side with the One Percent? LOL! Sounds familiar...
Hoffman went on to write the infamous book entitled Steal This Book and was one of the original (((Chicago Seven))) during the National Democratic Convention arrests in 1968. They became famous for protesting against the war in Vietnam, but suspiciously NOT those wars against the Palestinians, Israel's "enemies," or World War 1, World War 2, Communist take-overs in Eastern Europe, Africa, South America, etc., etc., blah, blah... Hmmm...
Abbie Hoffman was also friends with a fellow professional grifter, (((Ira Einhorn))).
Besides claiming to start Earth Day (Mirror), Ira Einhorn is probably most famous for murdering his then girlfriend - the beautiful Helen "Holly" Maddux.
In September of 1977, Holly Maddux had her head bashed in and was left to die (and decompose) in a trunk in Ira Einhorn's Philadelphia apartment for 18 months - all while Ira still lived there!
With the help of now-Senator (((Arlen Specter))), Einhorn was able to reduce his bail to only $40,000, of which he only had to put up $4,000. Normally, alleged murderers don't get bail...
Holly Maddux's RemainsOur modern-day Leo Frank was aided by the vast fortune and political power of (((Barbara Bronfman))), the wife of Seagram Liquor heir (((Charles Bronfman))) (Mirror), Einhorn was able to flee to Europe where he lived freely under the assumed name "Eugene Mallon."
Because nothing says "helping the working class" like having a jewish billionaire help you hide after one of your Satanic ritual murders...
After 22 years of living in Europe, Ira Einhorn was finally caught by the French police and extradited to the United States in July of 2001.
In December of 2002, Ira Einhorn was found guilty (he blamed the CIA in his defense!) and sentenced to life in prison for the first-degree murder of Holly Maddux. He died in prison in April of 2020
"Counter-Culture" Con Men: Ira Einhorn and Abbie Hoffman in 1969Abbie Hoffman later gave up publishing YIPL and passed the torch onto others. He became a fairly successful attorney and authored several other books, including Steal This Urine Test and Revolution for the Hell of It.
Abbie Hoffman (accidentally?) committed suicide on April 12, 1989 by overdosing on phenobarbital. Hoffman was rich when he died.
The first 20 issues of the newsletter were simply called Youth International Party Line or "YIPL" However, beginning with issue number 21, the name was changed to TAP, which stood for "Technological American Party." This eventually led to them having trouble getting a bank account with the word "Party" in their title without being an actual bona fide political party.
Later, starting with issue number 59, TAP then stood for "Technological Assistance Program" with "Tom Edison" from New Jersey the new Editor-in-Chief. Still later, TAP no longer stood for anything. TAP - was simply "TAP."
The original TAP ceased publication with issue number 91 in 1984 with "Cheshire Catalyst" (Robert Osband) the last editor (1983 to 1984) after Tom Edison's apartment was firebombed (the cops said it was a very professional break-in, but the fire marshal said it was a very amateur arson) and his computer equipment stolen in August of 1983. TAP's subscriber base was said to have been around 4,000.
During its 13 year reign, TAP was often published sporadically. Subscribers never really knew when they would get an issue. Many subscribers complained about paying and then not receiving any issues. Over the years, TAP published on many mediums. TAP published articles on all kinds of unusual things, ideas, and tactics. Most of them would be illegal if actually employed. Phone phreaking was a major issue, plus there were articles on lockpicking, homemade highs and drugs, hacking, rip-offs, cons, scams, vending machine ripoffs, etc. Most all of the subject matter was controversial and always "anti-establishment," and sometimes border-line anarchistic. TAP was truly a legend as it united phone phreaks and other "techno-phreaks."
Actually, TAP was truly the first hacker newsletter, although the word "hacker" was virtually unknown at the time TAP began publishing. It is amazing that TAP survived printing almost a hundred original issues. Many E-zines and newsletters today never get past a few issues.

The "New" TAP
"Well TAP isn't that easy to kill! I'm sure it will re-surface in one form or another sometime in the next decade."
--- Quote from Cheshire Catalyst in a 1985 interview with "The Infiltrator" while at a TAP meeting in New York City.
In March of 1989, the "new" TAP was born in Louisville, Kentucky. A couple of hackers named Aristotle (Kevin P. Jones, Editor #92-#100), Predat0r (John Parrish, Editor #101-#107), and Olorin The White (Society for the Freedom of Information) began publishing their own version of TAP. Their first issue was #92 - taking up the reins right where the original TAP left off.
The "new" TAP just never was the same as the "old" TAP. The new TAP started off being "free" for a stamp. Later, with around issue #101, a $10.00 subscription fee was incurred. Many people had lost money on the "old" TAP, thus most subscribers were leery of sending in $10 to the "new" TAP.
Not surprisingly, the same problems existed with the new TAP as the old one - subscription problems and publishing deadlines. Subscribers once again never knew when an issue would arrive. Keep in mind that TAP was not a high class operation - it was usually printed on borrowed copy machines, donated paper, etc. TAP was not a "Madison Ave" publication nor was it meant to be.
After publishing issue #107, TAP never printed another issue. TAP is dead, and should remain dead.
I was able to acquire original "new" TAP issues #97, #98, #99, #100, #101, #103, #104, and #105. They have been re-scanned at a higher resolution for easier reading.
The "Newest" TAP
Put out by TA Publications and NESOG, and edited by John Galt, the newest incarnation of TAP will have a more small-government, survivalist feel.
The newest issue started with #108 and was released in January 2009.

"The final goal of our anti-American offensive was to discourage the U.S. from protecting the world against communist terrorism and expansion. Sadly, we succeeded. After U.S. forces precipitously pulled out of Vietnam, the victorious communists massacred some two million people in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Another million tried to escape, but many died in the attempt. This tragedy also created a credibility gap between America and the rest of the world, damaged the cohesion of American foreign policy, and poisoned domestic debate in the U.S."
--- August 2007 quote from former KGB Officer Ion Mihai Pacepa on the deadly propaganda spread by the original YIPL and TAP editors.
- Yuri Bezmenov: Deception Was My Job Soviet subversion of the Western free press by former KGB Officer Yuri Bezmenov. (YouTube)
"Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power, obviously they get offended. They think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot because not taking them out may result in them becoming 'the most bitter enemies' of Marxism-Leninist ideology because they are so sorely disappointed and frustrated..."
That's why my KGB instructors specifically stated, never bother with Leftists. Leftists only serve a purpose during the destabilization phase, after that they will be very unhappy people. The system simply has no use for these idealistic people who will be squashed like bugs. They are instrumental in the subversion process, only to destabilize the nation."
--- Quotes from former KGB Officer Yuri Bezmenov on why staunch supporters of Marxism ("useful idiots") are often killed after the "revolution" occurs. This is why people like Stalin and Castro often killed their closest allies.

- The Unicorn's Secret: Murder in the Age of Aquarius by Steven Levy
- The true story of Ira Einhorn, the Philadelphia antiwar crusader, environmental activist, and New Age guru with a murderous dark side. During the cultural shockwaves of the 1960s and 1970s, Ira Einhorn - nicknamed the "Unicorn" - was the leading radical voice for the antiwar movement at the University of Pennsylvania. At his side were such noted activists as Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. A brilliantly articulate advocate for peace in a turbulent era, he rallied followers toward the growing anti-establishment causes of free love, drugs, and radical ecological reform. In 1979, when the mummified remains of his girlfriend, Holly Maddux, a Bryn Mawr flower child from Tyler, Texas, were found in a trunk in his apartment, Einhorn claimed a CIA frame-up. Incredibly, the network of influential friends, socialites, and powerful politicians he'd charmed and manipulated over the years supported him. Represented by renowned district attorney and future senator Arlen Specter, Einhorn was released on bail. But before trial, he fled the country to an idyllic town in the French wine region and disappeared. It would take more than twenty years - and two trials - to finally bring Einhorn to justice. Based on more than two years of research and 250 interviews, as well as the chilling private journals of Einhorn and Maddux, prize-winning journalist Steven Levy paints an astonishing and complicated portrait of a man motivated by both genius and rage. The basis for 1998 NBC television miniseries The Hunt for the Unicorn Killer, The Unicorn's Secret is a "spellbinding sociological/true crime study," revealing the dark and tragic dimensions of a man who defined an era, only to shatter its ideals (Publishers Weekly).

One of the major reasons I am displeased with what TAP has become is that you have spent nearly 50% of the damn space bitching and venting your spleen and other organs about what you don't like about us, the readers. We subscribed because the original version contained inter- esting and useful information, not the ravings of an ego-maniac who is pissed at himself because he can't handle the job, and wants somebody else to do it for him. Knock off the crap, and get back to business, or I shall cancel also. Wash., D.C.Heh... They had the same problems as $2600 Magazine!
