Loosers Astroturfing?

A few months back, the Loosers took to spamming every internet forum with pitches for people to watch Loose Change. The pitch varied, but it usually went something like this:

"Hi, I'm new to posting on this forum, but I've been lurking for awhile and found the signal to noise ratio here pleasingly high. I was just wondering if any of you had seen the movie Loose Change, which raises disturbing questions about 9-11. I'm not sure I agree with everything in the movie, but it's worth a watch!"

After awhile, the usual response was:

"Read Screw Loose Change and you'll see that the Loose Change guys are retarded."

Well, now they seem to be branching out to creating new blogs. While checking Technorati this morning, I noticed some obvious attempts at viral marketing of Loose Change. Consider the following blogs:

The Ever Blogg:

Dylan Avery, Korey Rowe, and Jason Bermas bring you the most powerful 9/11 Documentary yet. Updated!!!!


Bipolarville:

I'm so sick of spam.

I don't need ambien, viagra, stock tips or penis enlargment.

Well, I don't need ambien, viagra, stock tips.

I don't mind the Viagra ads, but when I get spammed for both penis enlargement and breast enlargement products, I find that rather disturbing...

Dylan's 15 minutes is about to expire, and he's getting desperate. In the last couple days we've seen the weak challenge to SLC, the LC forum purge, and now he's resorting to spam to get his message out.

I don't think he's getting desperate. Go listen to that radio show he's doing now. Alex Jones has him convinced that they're "going super-viral" with "84% support", and that the revolution is imminent. The guy spends a good 5 minutes screaming about how any day now the government is going to start arresting and killing twoofers, and he's saying that basically "we've got them on the run, and we gotta start pushing". Then he yells "super-viral" a few more times.

Seems like they truly believe that the majority of the country backs them, and now they're trying to convince the remainder before the government starts killing them off.

Bet they'll be disappointed 2 years down the road when there's still no dead twoofers, and they're even more marginalized than they are today.

I just learned that if I help some barrister get 5,000,000 Loose Change DVDs out of Nigeria, I can keep 1,000,000 of them for myself!

I'd say that this statement applies to me, too. But I won't. Because that would be wrong.

If they have this kind of support, who exactly are they trying to convert? The louder they have to scream that they're winning, the more obvious it is that they're losing. The 84% claim is particularly al-Sahafian.

The 9/11 conspiracy movement is on life support, Alex Jones is milking the corpse for all it's worth, and Dylan Avery is in denial. That's all this is about. The minute Loose Change ceases to captivate Alex Jones' listeners, he'll ditch Dylan like a bad one-night stand.

I don't like Spam either. And I also think it's a lousy way to advertise.
Oliver Stone and Co. have to PAY for advertising space. Let the Loose Change bunch do the same.

Internet viral marketing and getting sycophants to spam blogs, forums, myspace, etc is NOT legit advertising.

If 84% of Americans agree, sell the documentary to a network. Start advertising through legit channels.

It's the NWO side that's only guided by money and nobody would really wanna just profit off 9/11 on the twoof movement right?

So let's see all the cash from DVD and tshirt sales that Dylan brags about get put back into the movement.

If 84% believe Dubya was behind 9/11, doesn't that say quite a bit about Americans when Bush's ratings are something like 40%?

"Dubya r teh tra1t0r b-hind 911&v0t3 da BUSH dawgz!!!111"

Yeah ****ing right.

84% don't think Bush was behind 9/11, so no.
