Net Propaganda The new medium for confusion.
What was the saying a few years back? "If you can't convince em-confuse em" This seems to be the guidelines for political distrust in the opposition candidate these days.
The scammers that emerge from the sewer and come after your personal information have a relative new one to ride on. B P. These slick (no pun intended) operators want you to participate in the spill clean up and will "train" you for a small stipend. B P is confronted with trying to hire help for the clean up as well as obfuscating this scam.
Then there is as always, the Nigeria banker that has so much discretionary cash that he needs to send it overseas to someone -like you? I think this may have been one of the originals back when al Gore discovered the net possibly.
Last month I received an email offer that really had sex appeal. Well, maybe to some but it failed to register with yours truly. For an "up front deposit" you could schedule--get this--in your own home, a model that would display as many as thirty types of lingerie and nightgowns! Now that would be interesting. They even offered a geographical map for you to indicate your location so they could provide "A local model of the merchandise."
A few years back they used the name and address of a young boy that was living day to day with incurable cancer who wanted nothing but to be in the Guineas book of records for having the most email addresses. This worked pretty well until the public found out that the addresses were all being sold for advertisement scams. It appears that nothing is sacred to these bottom feeders.
The problem is, even AOL admits that they have a very difficult time of notifying their customers (legally) of program offers and changes to their services. The scammers have instilled that tiny bit of skepticism in all communications you receive from a company. Most whom you recognize or have as an account.
Then there is that bunch of creative genesis' that produce the birthed misinformation about the President, his lack of protocol ( not saluting the flag, not having a flag present at speeches, etc) and even his family. One such showed a Black lady exiting from an airliner in denim cutoffs next to a photo of Laura Bush explicitly dressed exiting from AF 1. The photo of the airliner looked nothing like AF1 and the Black Lady was much shorter than FLOTUS.
Even wesupportthevets.com has been taken in and posted some of this malarkey. No more. We are going to "snopes" everything that we receive.
Of course, even Snopes has been vilified. The owners and editors of that online verification program are said to be paid liberals deadest on misinformation propagation.
