I received this via the fax machine in my office at roughly 4PM on Nov. 2nd. Oddly, I don't even live in a swing state.
News Flash -- Please Post
NEWSWIRE RELEASE
World Discovery of WMD Today October 30, 2004
The Real Talk Network breaks the story on weapons of mass destruction confirmed in Iraq before, during, and after the war. This is non-political, and factual.
See for yourself at Digicastondemand.com
The release is signed John "Digger" Dolan at Global Edge Communication. www.theglobaledge.com
Obviously this is a bad hoax perpetrated at the last moment of the election. The thing I was curious about is whether it was actually intended to swing any votes (it was released late in the day, and not in a swing state) or whether it's a viral marketing campaign for Digicastondemand that is using the interest in the election to jumpstart it's service. Digicast offers the "WMD Footage" for $9.99 per download on it's site, which is a huge red flag in itself. I placed a call to the phone number for the Global Edge, but am not anticipating any response back...

This story is entrely accurate, and the mainstream news media trie to keep the facts off the TV news as they did to th producers of "Burried in the Sn" documentary about the Iraqiabuses of heir own people under the addam regime at the Abu Garib prison. We have over 100 hours of real fooage shot in the field in Iraq, and cnfirmed by 3 different world biological scienists. The story is all fatual, and we put it there for Americans to see the truth, and we were and are 110% behind the facts. |

Well Digger..
If you are the gentlemen who is behind the fax I received, then you'll be able to tell me why this story STILL hasn't been reported, even though in your fax it clearly states that CBS has the story and was holding it until after the election. Election is over, Bush won, no story. |
