Re CommuterOutrage. So plausible deniability has been extended even to direct employees.
Seems a bit time and thought-consuming to be just a hobby.
In effect, you can have thousands of govt. workers, sitting in cubes, getting paid to do a job, and they can be retasked to prosecute large propaganda campaigns, on the taxpayers dime, for the benefit of private corporations. Because… because… the spokesperson can tell you that they were independently blogging during their work hours.
Stasi R Us.
Dear Felix
If it might be of interest to you.
Here is the link to the interview which has been kindly given to me (for my BLOG) as of today by Mr. Satyajit Das, risk consultant and the author of the book “Traders, Guns & Money”.
