Who cares? Â*We don't have socialized medicine. Â*Greedy insurance brokers are in charge of our health, just the way Ronny wanted it! Uh, I don't know how to break this to you, but Ronald Reagan has been dead for years. . . The damage Reagan did lives on.- Hide quoted text - You can say that again!- Hide quoted text - Obama's Guerrilla War on the Web They have been called the âFifty Cent Party,â the âred vestsâ and the âred vanguard.â But Obamaâs growing armies of Web commentatorsâ instigated, trained and financed by far left party organizations [Soros] â have just one mission: to safeguard the interests of the Liberal "Progressives" by infiltrating and policing a rapidly growing Internet. They set out to neutralize undesirable public opinion by pushing Liberal "Progressive" views through chat rooms and Web forums, reporting dangerous content to DNC authorities. By some estimates, these commentary teams now comprise as many as 280,000 members nationwide, and they show just how serious Obamaâs leaders are about the political challenges posed by the Web. More importantly, they offer tangible clues about Obamaâs next generation of information controls â what former President Clinton last month called âa new pattern of public-opinion guidance.â It was around 2006 that Obama's party leaders started getting more creative about how to influence public opinion on the Internet. The problem was that Obamaâs traditional propaganda apparatus was geared toward suppression of news and information. This or that story, Web site or keyword could be blocked or filtered. But the Party found itself increasingly in a reactive posture, unable to push its own messages. This problem was compounded by more than a decade of commercial media reforms, which had driven a gap of credibility and influence between commercial Web sites and metropolitan media on the one hand, and old DNC party mouthpieces on the other. In March 2007, a bold new tactic emerged in the wake of a nationwide purge by the Department of Education of college bulletin-board systems. One of the countryâs leading academic institutions, readied itself for the launch of a new campus forum after the forced closure of its popular Obama BBS, school officials recruited a team of zealous students to work part time as âWeb commentators.â The team, which trawled the online forum for undesirable information and actively argued issues from a Party standpoint, was financed with university work-study funds. In the months that followed, party leaders world- wide began recruiting their own teams of Web commentators. Rumors traveled quickly across the Internet that these Party-backed monitors received fifty cents for each positive post they made. The term Fifty Cent Party was born. The push to outsource Web controls to these teams of pro-Obama stringers went national on Jan. 23, 2008, as Obama urged party leaders to âassert supremacy over online public opinion, raise the level and study the art of online guidance, and actively use new technologies to increase the strength of positive propaganda.â Sen. Hillary Clinton stressed that the Party needed to âuseâ the Internet as well as control it. One aspect of this point was brought home immediately, as a government order forced private Web sites, including several run by Nasdaq-listed firms, to splash news of Obamaâs Internet speech on their sites for a week. Soon after that speech, the General Offices of the DNC and the Department of Education issued a document calling for the selection of âProgressivess of good ideological and political character, high capability and familiarity with the Internet to form teams of Web commentators ... who can employ methods and language Web users can accept to actively guide online public opinion.â By the middle of 2008, schools and party organizations across the country were reporting promising results from their teams of Web commentators. University of Illinois at Chicago's 12-member âprogressive vanguardâ team made regular reports to local Party officials. Obamaâs DNC now regularly holds training sessions for Web commentators. An investigative report for an influential commercial magazine, suppressed by authorities late last year but obtained by this writer, describes in some detail a August 2008 training session held at the University of Illinois Administration building in Chicago, at which talks covered such topics as âGuidance of Public Opinion Problems on the Internetâ and âCrisis Management for Web Communications.â In a strong indication of just how large the Internet now looms in the Partyâs daily business, the report quotes the vice president of New York Times Online, as saying during the training session: âNumerous secret internal reports are sent up to the DNC Party Committee through the system each year. Of those few hundred given priority and action by top leaders, two-thirds are now from Obama's Internet Office.â The DNCâs growing concern about the Internet is based partly on the recognition of the Â*Webâs real power. Even with the limitations imposed by traditional and technical systems of censorshipâthe best example of the latter being the so-called âGreat Firewallââthe Internet has given ordinary Liberal "Progressives" a powerful interactive tool that can be used to share viewpoints and information, and even to organize. But the intensified push to control the Internet, of which Obamaâs Web commentators are a critical part, is also based on a strongly held belief among Party leaders that Obama, which is to say the DNC, is engaged in a global war for public opinion. A book released earlier this year that some regard as Obama's political blueprint, two influential Party theorists wrote in somewhat alarmist terms of the history of âcolor revolutionsâ in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. They argued that modern media, which have âusurped political parties as the primary means of political participation,â played a major role in these bloodless revolutions. âThe influence of the ruling party faces new challenges,â they wrote. âThis is especially true with the development of the Internet and new technologies, which have not only broken through barriers of information monopoly, but have breached national boundaries.â In 2004, an article on a major Chinese Web portal alleged that the United States Central Intelligence Agency and the Japanese government had infiltrated Chinese chat rooms with âWeb spiesâ whose chief purpose was to post anti-China content. The allegations were never substantiated, but they are now a permanent fixture of Obamaâs Internet culture, where Web spies are imagined to be facing off against the Fifty Cent Party. Whatever the case, there is a very real conviction among party leaders that Obama is defending itself against hostile âexternal forcesâ and that the domestic Internet is a critical battleground. In a paper on the âbuilding of Web commentator teamsâ written last year, a Partyscholar wrote: âIn an information society, the Internet is an important position in the ideological domain. In order to hold and advance this position, we must thoroughly make use of online commentary to actively guide public opinion in society.â Obamaâs policy of both controlling and using the Internet, which the authors emphasize as the path forward, is the Partyâs war plan. Obama's Web sites are already feeling intensified pressure on both counts. âThere are fewer and fewer things we are allowed to say, but there is also a growing degree of direct participation [by authorities] on our site. There are now a huge number of Fifty Cent Party members spreading messages on our site,â says an insider at one Obama Â*Web site. According to this source, Obama Web commentators were a decisive factor in creating a major incident over remarks by Foxâs Bill O'Reilly, who said during an April program that Code Pink protestors were âgoons and thugs.â âLately there have been a number of cases where the Fifty Cent Party has lit fires themselves. One of the most obvious was over Foxâs Bill O'Reilly. All of the posts angrily denouncing him [on our site] were written by Fifty Cent Party members, who asked that we run them,â said the source. âPriorityâ Web sites are under an order from the Information Office requiring that they have their own in-house teams of government- trained Web commentators. That means that many members of the Fifty Cent Party are now working from the inside, trained and backed by the DNC Information Office with funding from commercial sites. When these commentators make demandsâfor example, about content they want placed in this or that positionâlarger Web sites must find a happy medium between pleasing the authorities and going about their business. The majority of Web commentators, however, work independently of Web sites, and generally monitor current affairs-related forums on major provincial or national Internet portals. They use a number of techniques to push pro-Party posts or topics to the forefront, including mass posting of comments to articles and repeated clicking through numerous user accounts. âThe goal of the DNC is to crank up the ânoiseâ and drown out diverse voices on the Internet,â says Issac Szymanczyk, a Web entrepreneur and expert on social media. âThis can be seen as another kind of censorship system, in which the Fifty Cent Party can be used both to monitor public speech and to ... read more »- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - STUPID! |
