Hi Scoop.co.nz & Althecat Request Assistance With Promotion Campaign...
Hi Scoop.co.nz & Althecat Request Assistance With Promotion Campaign...

PLEASE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS POST

Hi people,

This is a request for the assistance of my BBV friends... both here in this forum and elsewhere on the web.

I would be delighted if you share this thread with people who you think might be able to help – basically I want people to help Scoop out with a promotion drive.

Anyway, here is the full story

…two days ago Scoop.co.nz (which some of you may recall helped out at the beginning of the BBV affair... see... http://www.scoop.co.nz/features/usacoup.html#thebeginning and which remains a dedicated follower of the issue) released a promotional video:

http://www.dontswallowjustanything.com/

In many ways this is a coming of age for us. It is an important branding statement saying something like:

"here we are, and we are planning on hanging around and here is where we intend to stand. That is: Delivering you no BS news, i.e. not the news you necessarily are used to. E.G. news of election fraud."

Plus it makes a not too subtle point about the news media in general. (The TV Guy version of the advert in particular probably makes this point in a way that an American Audience can understand.)

The advert is a bit shocking and designed to be distributed virally. I.E. we want people to email both the URL and/or some of the smaller files to their friends and encourage them to:

- Post links on their blogs and in forums

- Distribute the link or one of the smaller videos to their friends

Which brings me to the purpose of this post.

In the interests of achieving the above I would beseech the assistance of the BBV crowd hereabouts to support a posting here on DU (by recommending it) which promotes the target URL. If I get a bit of response here indicating that people are willing to help then I will proceed with the Main event. If someone else would like to compose the main event post on my behalf then that might be even better...

Please Note: at this stage I am just asking if people are willing to help on this task. In particular please do not actually recommend this post as I will try to produce another post that has a bit more style to it as the main event.

Kind regards

1. These ads are hilarious--just my take on CM (corporate media).
Scoop is now the online resource of record for the election fraud movement w/the Nashua Advocate gone.

This is well worth sharing. See my PM.

4. Thanks people....
I think I will aim to make a bit of a play in the cauldron of GD with this sometime early next week....

Might have to get up in the middle of the night to catch people around 11amish UST.

Cheers

5. Even though I do not always agree that exit poll discrepancies
are the gold standard of election fraud detection, I would be happy to recommend your post without even looking at your promotional material! You have provided a great service to those of us who have been researching the fraudulent nature of electronic voting! Thanks!
