Is The G.W.Bush Campaign Website Designed To Decieve?
Edited on Wed Jul-07-04 09:39 PM by althecat

Can You See GeorgeWBush.Com? If So Who Is He?



Boy do we have a job for the http://thememoryhole.org. If the following hypothesis is correct then the world wide weirdness we call internet propaganda and media just got a whole order more complicated.

Is the official www.GeorgeWBush.Com '04 Campaign website be set up to deliver different messages depending on where you are and which phone company you use? Initial indications make it look as if it is.



Probably not.

But we now know that people in Auckland, Wellington, Canberra, Jakarta and Canada can?

Now lest you be thinking this is just a Domain Name Server (DNS) issue, we have now established that this is not a routine DNS issue after looking at it for a couple of days. And nor is it a windup.

Rather it is still pretty much a simple mystery. That said we do now have some clues as to what is going on.

On the face of things it appears that the George Bush Campaign either already has, or is the process of putting in place an internet infrastructure to enable the incumbent Presidential Candidate to be even more duplicitous than real world media would allow him to be.

Or more precisely, if we are right this setup might allow George to be fully multifaceted.

Every politicians dream is to be everything to everybody, all things to all people. And making this dream a reality may just be what this is all about.

3. I actually looked at this the first time.
I know what they're talking about and I think it's bizarre. I don't know why they are over complicating everything.

10. You're going to need a lot of bleach
because I think we (yeah, I'm in Texas, too) are obligated to take him back after they kick him out of DC. After all, we did let him escape the first time.

12. The screen I see is the GWB screen
Sorry I was unclear, I meant the little GWB screen, not the big Site Not Found one.

So Chicago can get to the site. I downloaded the screen capture program and executed it, but don't see where/how to use the feature.
But since I got that GWB screen which has the silly Bush/McCain ad, you probably don't want a copy of my screen. Right?

14. Is this the same as what you see... perhaps we should ask for ....
people who see sommat different to submit images



Of course.. the fact that their system is set up to deliver multiple versions does not mean it is in fact doing so... this is strictly experimental news forging at this stage.

15. Yes it is.
I couldn't figure out how the screen shot thing worked so I emailed a copy of my screen to you by using the "Send" "Page by E-Mail" feature.

11. We need screenshorts to find out if we are all seeing the same thing
if we start posting some screenshots...

From the article linked here are some instructions..

*****SLUDGE INTERACTIVE*****
This article is also a request for information. We want your help to solve this mystery.


What City You Are In?
What ISP You Are Using?
Can you see the George Bush '04 Campaign site?
http://www.georgewbush.com

And if so what you can see?

Please send this information either anonymously via the Scoop webform or sludge@scoop.co.nz , if sending screenshots please put "I See George" in the subject line, and if you can't see George please put "I can't see George".

If you are a DemocraticUnderground.com member you can also file reports in this thread.


HOW TO TAKE A SCREENSHOT
To take a screenshot you will need to install a piece of free software. If you haven't already got one this one is excellent, small, simple to use and spyware free.

Howie's Quick Screen Capture Tool http://www.howiesfunware.com/SideBarMiscSoftware.html.
