Achtung! Internet Readers Beware! People Are Deliberately Misleading You Online - Here's Why

Hillary Rodham Clinton seduced Tom Cruise at her private chalet in Russian River, California! Bill Clinton is never invited there!

President Obama has moved over $4 billion of your taxpayer dollars to Switzerland where he has a secret bank account!

Hot "news" like this can be found any hour of the day online... as one "insider" story after another, each more scintillating, titillating, and scurrilous than the last catches fire online and captures your attention.

Problem is, every single one of these "hot insider facts" is not only wrong, but is deliberately invented (like the ones above) to suit the purposefully invidious and always selfish and self-serving purposes of the poster.

The question is: why are so many people all over the world perverting the Internet by posting deliberately erroneous, always hurtful, and completely false "information"?

Let's take a look...

Maladjusted kids with too much time and Internet savvy

Did you ever make a prank telephone call when you were in grammar school? I did...

and I suspect most of you did too. Now, however, the pranks are not directed at one person, but at millions. And the Internet is so configured that one maladjusted kid sitting in his basement in Kalamazoo can (within minutes) prank the whole world. To pimple-faced Johnny who's a wash-out with the chicks, this is a thrill that just won't quit. Unfortunately, the viruses he invents and disseminates, the misinformation he circulates are very real and cause, as he wanted, maximum dislocation and harm. He's the man!

With malice towards all and charity towards none (pace Abe Lincoln)

We live in the era of the empowered haters where daily people as psychotic as Hitler and as malevolent as Stalin take center stage. These people are hooligans on speed. Shunned themselves, they are determined that the successful of the world shall answer to them....or else. In the "real" world, such creatures have limited influence even if they turn into uni bombers, stalkers, and those who (with cunning and skill) reduce their own pain by inflicting it on the great of the land... or merely on an unfortunate soul who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now the socially inept and clinically dangerous have scope for their inadequacies.

For such people the Internet is a dream come true...because now, without leaving their homes, they can hurt, really hurt, brutally hurt people who have neither heard of them... nor offered so much as an offending word. The empowered hooligan doesn't care... to hurt is his objective and if he determines to hurt...
