i thought this was a joke but it is all true

After successfully sponsoring several of the presidential debates, Facebook is spreading its wings once more, announcing today that it would become the official co-sponsor of the United States' war on terror.
Facebook as we know is run by the CIA as a data gathering network.

You are aware this story might....umm...just be a joke....aren't you?

"Mr. Gates said that by signing up thousands of jihadists to the social networking site, Facebook is hoping to net the biggest fish of all: Osama bin Laden.
"If bin Laden starts wasting as much time on Facebook as most Americans do, al-Qaeda is finished," he said." |

Yes, i thought so at first.
but aparantly Facebook is linked to the CIA. Who are said to be shareholders. Facebook also makes no secret of the fat that it's terms and conditions include the right to share information with the CIA / NSA etc.
Facebook did also sponsor a presidential debate.
So who knows. _________________

It sounds like a joke. It's written by an 'award-winning humorist' according to the article. Looking at the wikipedia page of Andy Borowitz - comedian and satirist - i think it's quite clearly a wind up. _________________ www.truthaction.org/forum

Shame on you Karlos for leading me astray.
It appears Kbo and Tony are right. Osama has barely created a profile and his fanatics are nowhere to be to poked! Guess they figured the spy angle out before they gave their details to check out whether facebook lived upto the hype.
http://www.facebook.com/s.php?k=100000080&id=1019279443
Strangely my earlier search showed the no.1 hit to have no profile or friends (like mine), whereas now he is a thriving community.
Out of interest are you suggesting Bin Laden cant be on facebook due to being;
a) not a current university student or graduate
b) in hiding following denial, acceptance, denial, and subsequent attributed claims of responsibility for 9/11, partially rebuked by independent voice analysis experts but rubbished in MSM and totally out of the general populaces awareness.
c) already dead at the hands of kidney failure, US bombing campaigns in Afghan, Omar Sheik, or other attributed groups or pathogens.
d) A general disinterest in popular networking channels.
e) answer d) plus a total boycott on Israeli or pro zionist propaganda channels.
Facebookers need to know. _________________ The Peoples United Collective TPUC.ORG

More winding up???
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Rodriguez
Quote: | Magician's assistant
When Rodriguez was younger, he worked with magician James Randi, who refers to Rodriguez as "a long-time colleague,"[3] on many shows. Rodriguez used the stage name "Roudy" and mentioned in an interview with Benjamin Smith of the New York Sun that he helped the Amazing Randi expose fraudulent faith healers and psychics. [4] Rodriguez also stated that he proved adroit at insinuating himself into the good graces of Randi's targets and eliciting incriminating information. Rodriguez also recollects being featured on television in Puerto Rico escaping from a chained straightjacket while hanging from a burning rope.[5] |
I like the last bit....... 'featured on television in Puerto Rico escaping from a chained straightjacket while hanging from a burning rope.'
Some magician. |

I'lll just throw some conjecture at this one.
My first thought was that Borowitz is a good old American name, implying this guy has an agenda. A quick perusal of his career involves working with Woody Allen, Sacha Baron Cohen, and so on. He's very popular with the New York set, rising quickly in the comedy world, always a sign in my mind that strings were probably pulled.
Facebook and other social networking sites are run by the spooks for data farming. Windows Vista itself was developed in Israel, and Bill Gates is a zionist. 911 was an IT inside job, could not have happened without Israeli IT spooks.
My guess is this is a way to ridicule the notion that Facebook, MSN and the like have an ulterior purpose. My guess is that Borowitz like the pedophiles (Allen) and racist Zionists Isareli apologists (Baron Cohen) he works with is a closet Zionist himself. I haven't done much research but I doubt somehow he criticises Israel very much. His target is more likely to be the Arab world, all be it covertly in an underhanded sneaky manner, reinforcing assumptions and stereotypes about the Arab world.
Like Baron Cohen, by using comedy he attacks the tribe's enemies. Baron Cohen pretends to be an anti semite so that he can ridicule his tribes enemies, while Borowitz writes articles about Jesus and Mayor Bloomberg buying the US presidency. His tribe of course don't like Jesus, and the US presidency being bought is close to the truth but ridiculed in this way by a comedian.
Just my initial instincts about this comedian. I myself could not work with a man who sleeps with children, but that's just me. |

A quick bit of searching and apparently Borowitz is indeed Jewish (imagine that). I had no idea if he was or not, just instinct based on who he associated with and who he was covertly attacking.
He wrote this for the tribe:

From Borowitz' wikipedia page
Quote: |
In the late 1990s, Borowitz began e-mailing humorous fake news stories to friends. In 2001, he founded The Borowitz Report, a site that posts one 250-word satirical column every weekday. The site led to greater fame and widespread attention for Borowitz as a political satirist.
