Given this, who does the panel think most likely to be a sockpuppet for the USA, China, or European interests on this comm?

Obviously, being a Brit, I'm a sockpuppet of the BBC and the NHS against the forces of Murdoch and private medical insurance.

So having outed myself, would anyone else like to come out of the closet?

I wish I got paid to spar with some people here, that's for sure.

Ditto. I mess around here when work is slow, and then I feel obligated to continue the argument when I get home. It's horrible.

If I could get paid a penny per letter, well......

If something is public, all intelligence agencies have access to it. The extent to which open-source intelligence (yes there is a name for it) is exploited is a matter of policy and budget.

Fine. I'm Mossad. Now I have to kill you.

Likewise, having served in the American military (and a filthy nationalist to boot) I am a sock-puppet of the Military-Industrial Complex and the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" tm.

...and so is panookah ;)

As long as you don't side with Roops we can still be friends.

Now why did you go and out him like that, he was our stealth interloper.

U.S. military invented the internets... we can do what we want.

Teh Illuminati. (Lizardoid shapeshifting Greys from Andromeda, fighting for galactic supremacy with the Pleiadian Greens).

They own me.

Here. I confessed everything. Now if you could please look into this flashing stick here, thank you...

i'm paid by soros and the koch brothers to keep things lively around here.

Playing both against the middle? Nice.

I am a sock puppet of the Chaos Gods in the Immaterium, in Halls outside Time and Space. I'm just here for the LULZ..... XP.

Blood For The Blood God!

Porn For The Porn God!

Obviously, we're ALL sockpuppets!

[mijan.livejournal.com]

We're all nothing but a vast network of sockpuppets. In fact, there are only five real people on this comm, each of whom has multiple sockpuppets for each other! Nobody is real! It's all a farce! The whole world is an illusion! Within an illusion! Within a dream! A sockpuppet's dream! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!




I feel better now. :D

Are people really so easily influenced by online personas that this is a big deal?

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

FB. Its big. You and i, we're blessed for not knowing what FB is.

And of course its nothing else but a conspiracy by the NWO and the Bilderbergers to take over our minds.

[meus-ovatio.livejournal.com]

I work for God.

[debergerac.livejournal.com]

which one?

[paedraggaidin.livejournal.com]

The Vatican.

*evil papist laugh*

Prieure de Sion here.

You'll be hunted by Angels. (Silas)

We also wield the power of antimatter. We've put a ball of antimatter right below Basilica di Santo Pietro. You have 30 minutes to evacuate the cardinals.

Also don't forget to solve the Criptus riddle on the way. Dr Langdon would've enjoyed that.

After destroying the Rat-zinger, we're gonna take over the world. Dan Brown has shown us the way. You can't stop us any more.

There's actually 3 different reasons I could see that the military would want this tech:

* sockpuppets, which everybody seems to assume
* infiltrating groups/forums for information-gathering purposes
* providing alibis for operatives

I'm a politically non-euclidian Australian technocrat with Fabian Socialist leanings, so I think I'm a stooge for the Queer Green Monarchists?

Sex Party registerd in Victoria

[brockulfsen.livejournal.com]

Oh and if you are in New South Wales, vote Sex Party in the upper house.

Telex

[brockulfsen.livejournal.com]

Back in the days of the Telex network, the embassy Telex channels were monitored at the switching centre. Senior staff delighted in doing things like putting the CIA stooge on their shift on the US channel, or somewhere fun like Trinidad & Tobago...

Pointless really as most Telexs were encrypted blocks of the form;

Being a relative noob

[geezer-also.livejournal.com]

Uh, what's a sock puppet, I mean I know what a SOCK puppet is, I've made a few in my day, but what's a sock puppet on the internet?

Sooner or later, you'll confess everything. We won't even have to beerboard you (too much).
