Kroupa, 2005.]] '''Patrick Karel Kroupa''' (also known as '''Lord Digital''', born [[January 20]], [[1969]], in [[Los Angeles, California]]) is an [[United States|American]] [[writer]], [[Hacker (computing)|hacker]] and [[activist]]. Kroupa was a member of the legendary [[Legion of Doom (hacking)|Legion of Doom]] hacker group and co-founded [[MindVox]] in 1991, with [[Bruce Fancher]]. He was a [[heroin]] [[drug addict|addict]] from age 14 to 30 and got clean through the use of the [[Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants|hallucinogenic]] [[psychoactive drug|drug]] [[ibogaine]]. ==Early years== Kroupa was born in [[Los Angeles]], [[California]], of [[Bohemia]]n parents who left [[Prague]], [[Czechoslovakia]], after the [[Soviet]] invasion in 1968. His parents were [[divorce]]d when Kroupa was six, and he relocated to [[New York City]], where he was raised by his mother. He is the nephew of [[Czech Republic|Czech]] opera singer [[Zdeněk Kroupa]] (b. 1921, d. 1999).<ref name="zkroupa">[http://www.mlp.cz/cz/offline/perlie/K/2028077.htm Zdeněk Kroupa] 1921-1999</ref> Patrick Kroupa was part of the first generation to grow up with home computers and network access. In numerous interviews he has repeatedly listed two events which were important in shaping the course of his later years. The first was being exposed to one of the first two [[Cray]] supercomputers that were ever built, which was located at [[NCAR]] (the [[National Center for Atmospheric Research]]) where his father was a physicist, who took him through the labs and taught him to program in Fortran and feed the Cray using punched cards. This happened during the same year that [[Woody Allen]] was filming ''[[Sleeper (film)|Sleeper]]'', using NCAR in many of the futuristic background scenes that appeared in the movie. Kroupa got an [[Apple II]] computer for his own use around the time he was seven or eight years old.<ref name="igurus">[http://www.phantom.com/staticpage/Media/InternetGurus.html Internet Gurus] Tod Foley</ref> The second event was being part of the last days of [[Abbie Hoffman]]'s [[Youth International Party|YIPL/TAP]] (Youth International Party Lines/Technological Assistance Program) counter-culture/[[Yippie]] meetings that were taking place in [[New York City]]'s [[Lower East Side]], during the early 1980s. Kroupa again lists this event, repeatedly in interviews, as opening many new doors for him and changing his perceptions about technology. [[Image:PatrickKroupa80s.jpg|thumb|222px|left|Patrick K. Kroupa, late 1980s.]] TAP was the original [[Hacker (computer security)|hacker]] and [[phone phreak]] publication which predated [[2600 The Hacker Quarterly|2600]] by decades (at the time of the last TAP meetings, 2600 magazine was just starting to publish its first issues). Kroupa met many people there who would become part of his life in the years to come. Three of the main characters would be his future partner and life-long friend, Bruce Fancher; Yippie/[[Medical Marijuana]] activist [[Dana Beal]] (The Theoretician), who was part of the [[John Draper]] (Cap'n Crunch) /Abbie Hoffman, technologically-inclined branch of the counter-culture and perhaps most important: [[Herbert Huncke]], who introduced Kroupa to heroin at age 14.<ref name="yippie1">[http://www.antiquarbuch.de/index.html?usa.htm Blacklisted News: A Secret History of the 80's] Yippie Book Collective. Bleecker Publishing (1984)</ref> With the exception of the counter-cultural and hard-drug elements, the preceding history made Kroupa part of a small group, composed of a few hundred kids who were either wealthy enough to afford home computers in the late 70's, or had technologically-savvy families who understood the potentials of what the machines could do.<ref name="trinity1">[http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/total-share.ars/3 The First Trinity: the Commodore PET, the Radio-Shack TRS-80, and the Apple] (1977-1980)</ref> The [[Internet]] as it is today did not exist, only a small percentage of the population had home computers and out of those who did, even fewer had online access through the use of [[modems]].<ref name="modems">[http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/sci/A0833536.html The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia], 6th edition</ref> During his time in the computer underground Kroupa was a member of the first [[Warez|Pirate]]/[[Software cracking|Cracking]] crew to ever exist for the Apple II computer: The [[Apple Mafia]]<ref name="am1">[http://www.skepticfiles.org/cowtext/100/applemaf.htm The Apple Mafia Story]</ref><ref name="am2">Apple Mafia Krack [http://artscene.textfiles.com/intros/APPLEII/amafia.gif title page 1]</ref><ref name="am3">Apple Mafia Krack [http://artscene.textfiles.com/intros/APPLEII/amafiac.gif title page 2]</ref> as well as various [[phreaking]]/[[hacking]] groups, the most high-profile being the [[Knights of Shadow]]. When KOS fell apart after a series of arrests, many of the surviving members were absorbed into Kroupa's final group affiliation: the Legion of Doom (LoD/H).<ref name="hackercrack1">THE HACKER CRACKDOWN: Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier [http://www.chriswaltrip.com/sterling/crack2j.html War on The Legion], Bruce Sterling</ref> Kroupa started publishing some of his hacking techniques when he would have been around 12 or 13.<ref name="ADS">[http://www.artofhacking.com/tucops/phreak/vmb/live/aoh_ads.htm A Guide To ADS Systems], Lord Digital (1982)</ref> There is a significant progression through years of text, which captures Kroupa's early evolution and skills,<ref name="RSX11M">[http://www.textfiles.com/hacking/rsx11.hac RSX11M Version 3.X Real Time Operating System] Terminus and Lord Digital (1984)</ref> culminating in an extensive, programmable phone phreaking and hacking toolkit for the [[Apple II]] computer, called [[Phantom Access]] (which is where the name [[Phantom Access Technologies]], the parent corporation behind MindVox, would later come from). ==The MindVox Years== ===Voices in my Head ([[1991]] - [[1996]])=== {| align=right | <pre><nowiki> /\_-\ <((_))> \- \/ /\_-\(:::::::::)/\_-\ <((_)) MindVox ((_))> \- \/(:::::::::)\- \/ /\_-\ <((_))> \- \/ </nowiki></pre> |} In the late 80s and early 90s, the computer underground had suffered through a series of protracted raids by the [[United States Secret Service|Secret Service]] and [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], called [[Operation Sundevil]] and Operation Redux. Many Legion of Doom members were raided and charged.<ref name="hackercrack2">THE HACKER CRACKDOWN: Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier [http://www.chriswaltrip.com/sterling/crack2h.html Sting Boards], Bruce Sterling</ref><ref name="CS1">[http://www.cs.wustl.edu/cs/cs/archive/CS142_SP96/notes16.html CS/EP142 Computers and Society], 1996</ref><ref name="cud1">[http://www.skepticfiles.org/hacker/cud216.htm Computer Underground Digest Volume 2, Issue #2.16] (December 10, 1990)</ref><ref name="phrack1">[http://www.phrack.org/issues.html?issue=32&id=10#article Operation Sun-Devil] Phrack Magazine, Issue: 32, Article: 10</ref><ref name="ii">[http://www.aracnet.com/~kea/Papers/paper.shtml International Intrusions: Motives and Patterns] Kent E. Anderson</ref> This happened against the backdrop of the first and largest gang war that ever took place in [[cyberspace]], the [[Great Hacker War]] between LOD and their rival gang MOD (Masters of Deception). Considering Kroupa and Fancher's backgrounds and the fact that MindVox employed a motley collection of convicted felons like security expert [[Len Rose]]<ref name="boardwatch">[http://www.phantom.com/staticpage/Media/Boredwatch.html Boardwatch Magazine: MindVox] 1992</ref> and the infamous [[Phiber Optik]] (Mark Abene) who was awaiting a [[Manhattan]] [[grand jury]] [[indictment]], these were very real issues at the time. This is the environment in which Patrick Kroupa and Bruce Fancher, launched [[MindVox]]. In the words of Bruce Fancher: {{Cquote2|Our greatest fear wasn't whether or not we'd be successful as a company, that was secondary. What concerned us was that one day the Secret Service would kick in the door and just confiscate everything.|}} This is also the time during which Patrick Kroupa wrote, '''Voices in my Head''', '''''MindVox: The Overture'''''. Kroupa provided a compelling and sweeping, first-person overview of the cultural forces that were at play in the hacker underground during the decade that pre-dated the launch of MindVox, considered by some the "[[Golden Age]]" of cyberspace. In the process of writing and releasing '''''Voices''''', Patrick Kroupa stepped out from behind Lord Digital. Instead of status in the hacker underground and notoriety in a sub-culture, Kroupa was being written about as the [[Jim Morrison]] of cyberspace<ref name="kroupa-morrison">[http://www.phantom.com/staticpage/Akashic/InternetSurf.html Surfing on the Internet] J. C. Herz (ISBN 0-316-36009-0)</ref> and receiving accolades from the mainstream press.<ref name="wired1">[http://www.phantom.com/staticpage/Media/Wired1.html MindVox: Urban Attitude Online.] Wired Magazine, 1993, Charles Platt</ref><ref name="ap1">[http://www.phantom.com/staticpage/Media/AssociatedPress1.html Wiring the Planet-MindVox!] Frank Bajak, Associated Press, 1993</ref><ref name="newyorkmag">[http://www.phantom.com/staticpage/Media/NewYork1.html Boot Up and See Me Sometime] New York Magazine, 1994</ref><ref name="mondo1">[http://www.phantom.com/staticpage/Media/Mondo1.html There's A Party in my Mind... MindVox!] Andrew Hawkins, Mondo 2000, 1993</ref> '''''Voices''''' helped define what MindVox became, a counter-cultural media darling meriting full-length features in magazines and newspapers such as [[Rolling Stone]], [[Forbes]], The [[Wall Street Journal]], [[The New York Times]] and [[The New Yorker]]. '''''Voices in my Head''''' was the spark that propelled Kroupa out of obscurity and into the mainstream. There is no single article that captures this as well as [[Sassy Magazine|Sassy]] magazine's effusive coverage of MindVox. The long strange trip that began in the hardcore hacker underground, had landed in the middle of a glossy mainstream magazine targeted at an audience of teenage girls, with Kroupa and Fancher displacing that issue's "Cute boy band alert!" with the "Cute [[cyberpunk]] alert!".<ref name="sassy">[http://www.phantom.com/staticpage/Media/Sassy.html Hi Girlz! See you in Cyberspace] Sassy Magazine, 1994.</ref> ===MIA / DOA (1996 - 2000)=== A running theme through nearly all of Kroupa's writing, is his drug use. He was a very vocal proponent of self-selecting your own state of consciousness and freely wrote and talked about his own drug experimentation. The caveat being, ''some'' of his drug use was open and public. The fact that he was an advocate of [[LSD]] and other [[psychedelic drugs]] was no big secret. The darker side of his life &mdash; that he regularly lost weeks of time injecting [[Speedball (drug)|speedballs]], was in and out of detoxes and rehabs, and suffered from [[bipolar disorder]] &mdash; were not publicized or mentioned until nearly a decade later. Kroupa wrote with great honesty and passion about a variety of topics, but he very carefully danced around his own increasing dependence on heroin. Everybody knew that Kroupa occasionally used heroin, cocaine and dozens of other drugs. With the exception of his close friends, nobody knew that he was injecting over $1,000 a day of heroin just to function. [[Image:Kroupa-Thailand.jpg|thumb|222px|left|Patrick Kroupa, [[Wat Tham Krabok]], 2000.]] By 1996, MindVox was at the absolute height of its powers, yet it was disintegrating. Bruce Fancher was suddenly part of two or three other start-ups, system repairs that should have taken hours, dragged on for weeks. While the user-base kept growing, the previously high level of intelligent discourse within the internal conferences had suffered, and while MindVox was getting more press than ever, all of it read like the same story being retold for the umpteenth time. Sometime in early to mid 1996, Kroupa simply vanished. Freedom of choice, gave way to the downward spiral of hardcore heroin addiction and dysfunction. In his 2005 book, ''Hip: The History'', ''[[New York Times]]'' reporter and former ''[[Details (magazine)|Details]]'' editor [[John Leland]] would write: {{Cquote2|In truth far too many of the celebrated figures in these pages led melancholy and difficult lives of isolation, mental illness and drug addiction. Interesting and romantic to read about, but very tough on those who live them.|}} Kroupa's exact whereabouts and activities from early 1996 until December 1999, remain unknown. He has acknowledged that he travelled throughout [[North America]] and spent time living in [[Mexico]], [[Belize]], [[Puerto Rico]], the [[Czech Republic]] and eventually [[Bangkok]], [[Thailand]]. The [[Dot-com_company|dot.com]] success story that began with MindVox, eventually hit rock bottom when Patrick Kroupa turned thirty [[Incarceration|incarcerated]], "doin' [[Cold turkey]] on cement, in [[The Tombs]]".<ref name="audio1">[http://www.drugtruth.net/cms/?q=audio/by/guest/patrick_kroupa Sound Bites of Patrick Kroupa, at the Drug Policy Alliance conference] DPA, New Orleans, 12/30/2007</ref> Several months after this arrest, Kroupa finally kicked heroin through the use of the hallucinogenic drug, [[ibogaine]]. He was [[Drug_detoxification|detoxed]] for the last time in the [[West Indies]], on the [[Caribbean]] island of [[Saint Kitts|St. Kitts]] by Dr. [[Deborah Mash]] in late 1999. He subsequently spent four months living at the controversial [[Buddhist]] temple, [[Wat Tham Krabok]] (which has since been shut down by the [[Thailand|Thai]] government and wrapped in [[concertina wire]], on suspicion of being an international heroin smuggling conduit). ==21st century== A heroin-free Kroupa returned to the United States from Thailand in [[2000]], and became [[Chief_technology_officer|CTO]] of Dr. Deborah Mash's [[Ibogaine Research Project]]<ref name="irp">[http://www.ibogaine-research.org/Ibogaine-Research-Project/Areas/System/System.htm Chief Technology Officer, Ibogaine Research Project]</ref> at the [[University of Miami]]'s [[Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine]]. During the next several years Kroupa appeared in a series of ibogaine-related news reports which aired on television, radio and print media.<ref name="ibomedia">[http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/Media MindVox's Ibogaine media section]</ref> The most famous example probably being [[San Francisco]]'s [[KRON]] news-report, which aired in 2004 and features Kroupa and Mash in a ten-minute long pro-ibogaine story.<ref name="kron">[http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/Media/KRON-Ibogaine.html Hallucinogen May Cure Drug Addiction] KRON, 2004</ref> Kroupa is regularly a featured speaker at [[psychedelics]] and [[harm reduction]] conferences.<ref name="psytv">[http://psi-tv.hanfplantage.de/48 Psychedelic Television, 2006 Ibogaine Conference]</ref><ref name="ibonews">[http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/News International Ibogaine conference listings]</ref><ref name="aatod">[http://www.doraweiner.org/aatod_hrc.html American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence - 5th National Harm Reduction Conference]</ref><ref name="dpa2003">[http://ibogaine.desk.nl/dpa.html Drug Policy Alliance, 2003.

Whatever [[ibogaine]] has done for his other addictions, it seems to have had no effect on his [[nicotine]] and [[caffeine]] dependence.<ref name="coffeecigs1">[http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/News/Images/2003-LIS04.jpg Daniel Pinchbeck, Sandra Karpetas, Patrick Kroupa with coffee-cups, Ibogaine conference, 2003]</ref><ref name="coffeecigs2">[http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/News/Images/2003-LIS05.jpg Sandra Karpetas, Patrick Kroupa with coffee-cups, Ibogaine conference, 2003]</ref><ref name="coffeecigs3">[http://www.mobisux.com/album/showphoto.php/photo/18136/size/big Kroupa chain-smoking cigarettes, with multiple coffee-cups, Kiblix 2003, Linux security conference in European Union]</ref> ===Yippies and the Counterculture=== While Kroupa's past history with the Yippies began at around age 13 or 14,<ref name="igurus"/> when the Yippies formalized a [[Yippie Speaker's Bureau]] in [[2003]], consisting of: [[Paul Krassner]], [[Dana Beal]], [[Robert_Altman_%28photographer%29|Robert Altman]], [[Grace Slick]], [[Stew Albert]], [[Dennis Peron]], [[Ed Rosenthal]], [[Jack Hoffman]], [[Steven Conliff]] and [[Hunter S. Thompson]], and went on tour during 2003-2004, the line-up featured the surprising inclusion of former [[Black Panther Party]] leader [[Dhoruba bin Wahad]], and Patrick Kroupa, who wasn't born when the Yippies first became a cultural force in the United States, and was 2-3 generations younger then his closest compatriot.<ref name="ysb">[http://yippie.mindvox.com/speakers.html Yippie Speaker's Bureau]</ref> It is unknown whether the YSB remains active; it went on hiatus in 2005 with the deaths of Stew Albert, Steven Conliff, and suicide of Hunter S. Thompson. On November 15, 2007, he spoke at the [[University Philosophical Society (Trinity College, Dublin)]], discussing ibogaine, the world-wide [[War on Drugs]], and advocating the legalisation of all narcotics.<ref name="thephil">[http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/2007/11/15/story48004.asp The Irish Examiner, Legalisation of narcotics up for debate] November 15, 2007</ref> The following Monday (November 19, 2007) Kroupa appeared on Ireland's national television station [[TV3 Ireland|TV3]]'s [[Ireland AM]] talk show, calling the War on Drugs: {{Cquote2|...an unequivocal, catastrophic, world-wide failure, that has destroyed countless lives, set fire to hundreds of billions of dollars and produced no discernible results. There is no lack of drugs, basically, anywhere on planet Earth. The number of people using drugs has not decreased.
