The fake persuaders

Corporations are inventing people to rubbish their opponents on the internet

"The Bivings Group specialises in internet lobbying.

An article on its website, entitled Viral Marketing: How to Infect the World, warns that "there are some campaigns where it would be undesirable or even disastrous to let the audience know that your organisation is directly involved... it simply is not an intelligent PR move. In cases such as this, it is important to first 'listen' to what is being said online... Once you are plugged into this world, it is possible to make postings to these outlets that present your position as an uninvolved third party... Perhaps the greatest advantage of viral marketing is that your message is placed into a context where it is more likely to be considered seriously." A senior executive from Monsanto is quoted on the Bivings site thanking the PR firm for its "outstanding work".

1. I think one of them was here several months ago...

It was my first argument on this board. With all the info coming out about the lowered nutritional value and damage to other fields nearby, etc. About 20 posts of "Here's my facts, where's yours?" They had nothing and finally went away.

4. Not surprising.

The two myths about our economy floated by the robber barons are continually posted and debunked yet still rear up on the corporate media:

Myth 1. Illegals only take jobs American citizens don't want. So why are thousands of people lining up for a handful of shitty Wal-Mart jobs? I've worked for Wal-Mart, they work you to death for minimal pay and no benefits. Seems the jobs are perfect for illegals. Why would people take jobs like what Wal-Mart offerers if they had other alternatives? Not to mention the construction and hotel jobs American citizens would gladly take up if they were open to citizens. My son applied for several hotel jobs and was turned down, yet as we watched, they hired spanish speaking men and women who claimed not to have their SS numbers on them.

Myth 2. American citizens do not have the high tech training and education to fill IT, telecommunications and other technological advanced positions. There are thousands of unemployed engineers and IT administrators who have had the privilege of training their foreign replacements. Engineers and advanced degree holders are taking clerk jobs because they can't get jobs in their fields. These underemployed are never counted in labor statistics. Since when has American education not been equal to China, India and Vietnam? Only when CEOs discovered they could pay $13,000 less to worker visa holders did our advance degree holders not meet the rigorous requirements of the corporations.

These myths are spread by these viral marketeers as if they are undisputed facts.
