Bots for Barry: Spamming social media with your tax dollars
In online parlance a "bot" is a computer program which is designed to automatically respond to pre-selected inputs. Those annoying "thanks for following me" DM's we receive 5 seconds after following someone on Twitter are the product of one such Bot.
Apparently Barry has run out of real flesh and blood Obamabots to carry his water. So he turned to perennial federal contractor HBGary to create an army of fake online profiles:
The US government is offering private intelligence companies contracts to create software to manage "fake people" on social media sites and create the illusion of consensus on controversial issues.
"The contract calls for the development of 'Persona Management Software' which would help the user create and manage a variety of distinct fake profiles online. The job listing was discussed in recently leaked emails from the private security firm HBGary after an attack by internet activist last week. According to the contract, the software would 'protect the identity of government agencies' by employing a number of false signals to convince users that the poster is in fact a real person. A single user could manage unique background information and status updates for up to 10 fake people from a single computer."
Your newest Facebook friend is a creation of Obama's Ministry of Propaganda. TOTUS (Teleprompter of the United States) has hit the Big Time! And he's in your inbox.
So the next time you see a bunch of "spontaneous" Tweets supporting the Wisconsin public employee unions, think twice. They were most likely carefully crafted at the DNC, and routed through the White House to your PC.
Open the pod bay doors Barry.
