Sure! whois exposes the criminals. Here's a couple examples :

"MOSSAD's control over the Internet"

A perfect showcase why they want to get rid of certain whois information. Entire versions of the whois client have disappeared from mainstream Linux distros, because they showed to much information? I don't know. But Doc Searls sure has a funny timing in touching the whois subject.

Other readers: please note that the link in the PP's post is a hilariously funny mumbo-jumbo
pseudo-tech rambling web page. The author has obviously no grasp at all on typical Internet
backbone operation, but to make up for that he invents conspiracy stories that are on par with
any Illuminati book.

Or it may be that he means his stuff seriously; well then; another data point for the need of
a KILL file feature at LWN.net.

Stockmann? Oh, he takes his stuff seriously, all right.

He's a (rather low volume) mailing list kook, now obviously also playing in these newfangled
electric intertubes.

It's reasonable to assume that everything he says is in some way twisted or inaccurate, even
if it looks sane. (Often it's hilariously wrong.)
