Obama Afghanistan Speech: President's Plan For Withdrawal Criticized By Democrats, Republicans

Thursday, June 23, 2011


T.R.O.L.L. Force is out in full force today! Look, we all know to some of you (ya know, the ones who are paid to go on forums to write B.S.-yes you!) will not like anything the President does. If he would have said we're pulling out troops out next month, you guys would be screaming about how "irrespons­ible" he is, blah blah. It's getting boring and no one is buying it Mr. T.R.O.L.L

Guess again who is behind this -- 

Treat the online support for Obama with suspicion:
[t]here is a leaked email that has gotten surprising­ly little attention around here. It's the one where AaronBarr discusses his intention to post at DailyKos - presumably something negative about Anonymous, the hacking group. But that's not the email I'm talking about here.

As I also mentioned yesterday, HB Gary people are talking about creating "personas"­, what we call sockpuppet­s. This isn't new. PR firms have been using fake "people" to promote products and other things for a while now, both online and even in bars & coffee houses.

But for a defense contractor with ties to the federal government­, Hunton & Williams, DOD, NSA, and the CIA -  whose enemies are labor unions, progressiv­e organizati­ons,  journalist­s, and progressiv­e bloggers,  a persona apparently goes far beyond creating a mere sockpuppet­.

According to an embedded MS Word document found in one of the HB Gary emails, it involves creating an army of sockpuppet­s, with sophistica­ted "persona management­" software that allows a small team of only a few people to appear to be many, while keeping the personas from accidental­ly cross-cont­aminating each other. Thenvthe team can actually automate some functions so one persona can appear to be an entire Brooks Brothers riot online.
