- iching, on 12/13/2007, -7/+171Well, no surprise here, but I'm glad it was traced
Great Find.......dugg - inactive, on 12/13/2007, -8/+149Dear Teh Propaganda Team,
It's not working.
Yours,
The Internets - morningmatters, on 12/13/2007, -13/+130Sometimes I do wonder about the people who bury articles like this one. Is it because they personally don't believe the article is worthwhile to read, or are they are getting paid for promote certain agendas?
- cypherpunks, on 12/13/2007, -8/+108It's very strange that some people are trying to bury this article!
- JohnnyKdiggs, on 12/13/2007, -7/+86Even worse, it was recently discovered that the House of Representatives was editing Wikipedia to draw a connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda:

http://digg.com/politics/Washington_Edited_Wikiped ... - phnx0221, on 12/13/2007, -8/+81Wow, okay, that answers a lot of questions. Great post.
- RHandler, on 12/13/2007, -6/+70Well there's pretty much no honest way to defend Guantanamo...
- Frnnkdlxx, on 12/13/2007, -7/+69Well what do you expect from Humans who advocated torturing other Humans?
Ironic that this is the country that went to war simply because it's citizens were being tortured abroad. - tsotha, on 12/13/2007, -6/+66If there's been a "pro-Guantanamo" story on Digg, I must have missed it.
- reeder, on 12/13/2007, -5/+61Diggsmithing/Socialsmithing is becoming commonplace. Always check out profiles.
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -7/+61Some of the posts on Digg on this subject were so zealous in their defense of torture and brutality, that there was no way any normal person could hold those positions. No human in their right mind would think these things, let alone type in a public forum, recorded in an uncountable number of databases across the world archived for instant retrieval for the rest of their lives.
Let's keep watching and see what transpires, surveillance works both ways. - inactive, on 12/13/2007, -7/+55Herkimer56
- StarofTroy, on 12/13/2007, -5/+43Now they're going to try to bury this story.
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -5/+37And EditorResponse
- boflaade, on 12/13/2007, -4/+34The propaganda is relentless. It is impossible to know when a person is being manipulated into buying and into believing. The USA claims this only happens in other countries. Perhaps they read the propaganda.
- spyd3rweb, on 12/13/2007, -7/+36add onetimer to the list, or anyone that uses the words ronbots and 'troofer'
- andrewcsayer, on 12/13/2007, -3/+29Bastards.
- jmpeagle, on 12/13/2007, -2/+27http://digg.com/spy/front
make sure only buries are visible, one comes around every once in awhile - iching, on 12/13/2007, -4/+29No, it isn't about the normal buried brigade and that has nothing to do with digg or Ron Paul.
THIS IS TAXPAYER EMPLOYED GOVERNMENT OPERATIVES DOING THIS WITH YOUR TAXPAYER'S MONIES !! - popothebright, on 12/13/2007, -6/+28What a bunch of amateurs. It's bad enough that we have to resort to b.s. propaganda techniques, but can we not even recruit a couple kids who know how to cover their tracks? Will someone please teach these retards how to spoof their f*cking IP address. A nine year old can hack better than these guys.
- WiseWeasel, on 12/13/2007, -8/+30That's Cheney's Digg account... OK, I made that up, could be ANY sociopath...
- inactive, on 08/11/2008, -9/+29Nice digital forensics...and I'm really starting to despise our government.
- spyd3rweb, on 12/13/2007, -5/+25Redneckerson.
- MacEnvy, on 12/13/2007, -5/+22Looks like someone's been using Conservapedia, eh?
- hierophantus, on 12/13/2007, -6/+22If you really didn't care, you wouldn't have posted that.
- inactive, on 08/11/2008, -8/+23If being a "libtard" means using evidence to expose fraud and corruption within our government, then I'm proud to be one. Now what is it that you Republicans have been up to these days? Still on your heroic campaign to stop gay marriage? Good luck sir.
- iching, on 12/13/2007, -5/+19So this story is no longer in up and coming or the front page?
- lubacious, on 12/13/2007, -2/+15Does that mean 'he' is his own gynecologist?
- inactive, on 08/11/2008, -2/+15More like they're disillusioned Republicans (see below posts for several "stupid liberals" comments)
- toxicshok, on 12/13/2007, -4/+17cold war is over, commies don't scare us anymore.
- WiseWeasel, on 12/13/2007, -2/+15Next on Digg, how to get your article to the front page by claiming it's being censored...
/half joking - Bhima, on 12/13/2007, -5/+17Wow, you are so full of ***** it is astounding.
- willclarke, on 12/13/2007, -5/+17If you look at the stories they submitted, they never got more than 1 or 2 diggs. I don't see how this is manipulation - opinionated people should be able to submit opinionated stories to digg. If they registered fake user names and dugg up their own stories with them that would be one thing, but that's not what happened.
- harrisbradley, on 12/13/2007, -2/+14You know what this is right? That's right... "Wikigate"
- DesignerDave, on 12/13/2007, -5/+16So the US Government is still somewhat afraid of its citizens...
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -7/+18You're next "X"s. Unless you wish to tell us who you are working for before they find out.
- liquisoft, on 12/13/2007, -5/+16Really? On Digg? Nothing they've tried to boost has made its way to the front page, that's for sure. All I see here are "OMG RON PAUL" and "BUSH=EVIL" stories. Good job, propaganda team. Hey, if you're reading this, answer me this one question: are you composed entirely of over-the-hill grandmothers just trying to understand this whole "internets" thing?
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -2/+13Speaking of Wikipedia manipulation. Remember when this Gandhi entry hit the front page?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Blunders_of_the ...
Some Digger added to the list of blunders: "Masturbation without cumming"
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seven_Bl ... - hierophantus, on 12/13/2007, -8/+19You know, you're aptly named. You try to hit hard, but you just don't really have an impact.
- missingnoh4x, on 12/13/2007, -1/+11Not to mention the fact that trying to promote Guantanamo on Digg is like putting a Vista ad in the Apple store.
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -3/+13fail
- JonForTheWin, on 12/13/2007, -2/+12FAIL
A good number of neocons are known trotskyites. YOU SUPPORT THE COMMIES IF THERE WERE ANY YOU COINTEL PIECE OF TRASH - DivisibleByZero, on 12/13/2007, -6/+16What possible benefit could there be from deleting ID numbers?
- tubeblender, on 12/13/2007, -5/+14Are you taking any medication? Increase the dosage.
- toxicshok, on 12/13/2007, -6/+15I can see why you have been banned twice.
- realunderdog, on 12/13/2007, -2/+11"...and supporter of Russia."
Huh?
Russia? - isaactwito, on 12/13/2007, -3/+12Y'know, I bash Ron Paul on here a lot. I just have heard a few too many things about him I don't like. But with how ***** much there is supporting him on here, either I'm the only person in the US who doesn't like him, or there is some Ron Paul conspiracy on digg.

In October 2005 Government Accountability Office investigators concluded that the Bush administration’s secret policy to pay off influential journalists to plant fake news was illegal and that the “administration had disseminated “covert propaganda” in the United States, in violation of a statutory ban.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/01/politics/01educ. ...
A company that was paid to misdirect and/or change the very CONVERSATIONS that our leaders are having! Also to create a favorable story or block media attention from storys that can be damaging to their neo-CON goals.
http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=w070312&s=risen0316 ...
They billed someone for "paying off" (or getting a favorable story from) a NYT reporter! But It didn't stop there as the Washington Post reports:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic ...
Pentagons Office of Strategic Influence, was in operation before 9/11 and exploited legal loopholes by planting its propaganda in foreign newspapers like the BBC that would later be picked up by U.S. newswires.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/1830500. ...
Perhaps the most startling aspect of the roadmap is its acknowledgement that information put out as part of the military’s psychological operations, or Psyops, is finding its way onto the computer and television screens of ordinary Americans.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4655196.stm
Pentagon Will “Catapult the Propaganda” Via U.S. Media Military, government indoctrination wing formally declares psychological warfare on the American people.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6100906. ...
The U.S. will engage in propaganda and indoctrination by using the Internet and media to “catapult the propaganda,”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/blog/ ...
Paid by the administration eSapience promises to "leverage our relationships with important and highly credible channels including AEI, AEI-Brookings, Hoover Institution, MIT, University of Chicago Law School and the Federalist Society, among others.

Pentagon propaganda bureau, Psychological Operations Command (PSYOPS), had placed their operatives in news divisions around the U.S.!
http://www.fair.org/activism/osi-propaganda.html
FAIR speculated that the purpose was twofold, one to directly propagandize the American people via CNN and also potentially to allow the “military to conduct an intelligence-gathering mission against the network itself,”
http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1748
The Information Operations Roadmap will take the propaganda to the computer and television screens of Americans.

Williams was paid a quarter million dollars for his propaganda services to the administration.

$300 million for lies and propaganda to be feed to the American people.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic ...
Burson-Marsteller‘s BKSH & Assocs., has been hired by The Lincoln Group, one of three firms selected last month by the U.S. Special Operations Command to wage psychological warfare on behalf of the Pentagon.

Col. James Treadwell, director of the Joint Psychological Operations Support Element, said TLG was selected to develop ‘cutting-edge types of media,’ including radio/TV ads, documentaries, text messages, Internet spots and podcasts for the U.S. military. The Pentagon expects to spend $3M in the first-year as a ‘test,’ and could spend up to $300M over five years if the ‘psyops’ operations conducted by TLG, SYColeman and Science Applications International Corp are deemed successful.”

A program on behalf of CENTCOM is also underway to help “catapult the propaganda,” on blogs and message boards.

Google and the CIA are involved with one another and are censoring information.
http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4774
This isn’t the first time the search giant has been suspected of wrongdoing.
http://googlewatch.eweek.com/blogs/google_watch/se ...
most claims of Google censorship involve the search engine being censored.
http://googlewatch.eweek.com/blogs/google_watch/ar ...
A former clandestine services officer for the CIA who also maintains close relationships with top Google representatives says that the company is “in bed with” the intelligence agency and the U.S. government.
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20061030-8105 ...
The Google help page used to state that it did not censor search results. This policy has now changed and Google now carried that proviso that, “in response to local laws, regulations, or policies,” it may censor certain content.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/27/google_doe ...
Google’s censorship policies in China and even those directed against US websites that are mildly critical of China prove that the company that was founded on the principle “don’t be evil,” is slowly beginning to resemble the very controlling Big Brother image it claimed to despise.

DOBBS: Roger, let me turn to one journalism question for all of you. As you know, the Washington Post reporting that the Pentagon used a number of—well, sources, if you will, for misinformation campaigns, including this network. What is your sense as to what should be both the reaction of the media, to being used by—for psyops operations by the Pentagon and what should be the reaction of the American people?

Americas News Media Worked Hand in Glove with the Central Intelligence Agency

George W. Bush - SilverBack101, on 12/13/2007, -4/+12Makes you wonder how people can actually go about supporting this type of stuff. I guess it takes a person of low caliber morales to go about supporting torture in any of it's forms.
