Spammers Announce World War III
schliz writes with the stub of a disheartening article at IT News: "Hackers are deluging web users with malware-laden spam claiming that World War III has started following a US invasion of Iran. Security experts warned [yesterday] that spam emails with subject lines including 'Third World War has begun,' '20000 US Soldiers in Iran,' and 'US Army crossed Iran's borders' have been intercepted. The emails contain links to a malicious webpage that displays what appears to be a video player showing the mushroom cloud of a nuclear explosion."
So all the ISP filters are ready to tune out the real thing. That will keep people from talking about the invasion of Iran when it really does happen. Then all those Haliburton jails for "illegal aliens" will be put to use.
We should expect Russia, China, France and others to declare war on the US under such circumstances, but it will be a phony war like the UK and French declaration of war after the German invasion of Poland. Fake only for short time. Mass arrests will follow in the US because the Bush administration will finally get the big war it wants.
I really do not understand this spam thing. I would be surprised if anyone ever buys anything after reading a spam email. Is there really a huge demand for the prescription meds that get 'advertised' in every inbox every day? Has anyone ever been busted for selling them online in spam emails? It must be relatively easy for the perps to be caught, but it does not seem to happen.
Bill gates was going to fix the spam problem, what happen? Nothing. If people hijacked the radio airwaves to sell prescription meds there would be an instant response from the authorities. Why can email communications be allowed to be rendered effectively useless due to sheer volume of spam?
There are vested interests in the spam, and given the amount of money in A/V software I have my suspicions. Time for Linux users to launch a class action against those retards that use that pretend operating system known as Windows. They are the disease and should not be allowed on the interwebs with their inherently unsafe machines and petty hangups.
exactly. They are behind WWI and WWII. They controlled the New York Bank, which finance both axis and allied powers.
And they now controlled both Russia (communism) and Israel (zionism), both democratic party and republican party in America.
These force need to be exterminated before human will enter enlightment.

The point is smear and to keep people from sharing genuine feelings so that they will better accept broadcast opinion. People like me, don't want another war of aggression are going to have their email mysteriously vanish but very few will be able to put that together with the "spam news" that only tech people will hear about. Everyone else is just going to associate the risks of such an invasion with crackpot spam and penis pills. Messages passed here, on BBS, Usenet and elsewhere will have been dealt with in advance.
The silence and humiliated objectors will be easy to arrest. With just a little more smear, there will be popular support for it. Welcome to the police state. It will lead to WW3.
In fact, the Bush administration has already started another war in Iran. If you pay taxes in the U.S., you don't get to participate in the choice to go to war. You only get to pay for it.
The war with Iran is to try to get even more control over the supply of oil, to make the price go even higher by restricting the supply. Bush and Cheney are oil and weapons investors and they are working to put more money in their pockets.
