Polimalware
Background: Speak2Truth and TheGrandInqusitor are right-wing ideologues who recently returned to a local bulletin board, WaccoBB, where I occasionally post political articles and commentary. In the present piece, which I am reposting from WaccoBB (8/1/11), I coin and define the word polimalware. As you will read, the CORPORATOCRACY is a likely suspect in creating polimalware. Here's the article:
Could there be something else, something perhaps more sinister, going on with Speak2Truth and TheGrandInquisitor? I think most if not all of the Waccobbians have unconsciously or thoughtlessly assumed that somewhere in the actual world there was a real person churning out the screeds and bloviations of these two posters.
What if that were not true? What if Speak2Truth and TheGrandInquisitor were computer programs? What if they were worms, moles, viruses designed to infect the body politic? This kind of program is different from the standard Trojan Horse, virus, or other form of malware that first appeared as Internet Worm in 1988. The objective of these programs is to corrupt as many computers as possible and often to cause hard drives to crash.
Alan Turing demonstrated that it is impossible for a human being to determine through asking questions via a keyboard if the human is speaking to a computer or another human being.
Political malware is designed to corrupt political discourse. The objective is to install contaminating thought scripts in the brains of human beings with the purpose of immobilizing them and making them easy to control and to dominate. The Progessive mind is particularly vulnerable to Polimalware (my neologism) because it has a built in placating loop that says all discourse must be treated as sane and actual and the only way to defeat it is to prove it is wrong by argumentation.
When a Polimalware program encounters the Progressive mind, it immediately immobilizes it by planting conflicting, internally inconsistent ideas, then taunting the Progressive while appearing to be oriented just enough to doctrines of fairness and reasonableness and liberalness that the Progressive will either attempt to refute the Polimalware through rational argument or, after discovering that the Polimalware cannot be convinced, will simply stop communicating (as one WaccoBBian wrote, "I thought about responding to a couple fo them, but became overwhelmed by the sheer number of statements that were not merely false, but the mirror image of the truth.") In either case, the Polimalware has succeeded in its mission.
Polimalware is like an Internet Spider. It searches through trillions of bits of information per second looking for key phrases like "Thanks to the work from the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) and investigative journalists like Beau Hodai, we now know that ALEC (the American Legislative Exchange Council), a front group for major corporations, the Koch brothers and right-wing lobbying groups, actively disseminated model bills promoting its agenda to state leaders." This was the lead sentence in an article I posted from Truthout about the Koch brothers. When it finds such a key sentence, Polimalware begins its relentless corruption. I believe many programmers would find this task simple to execute. The programmer could take the commentaries of Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, and Sean Hannity, scramble them up, and insert paragraphs organized randomly into a set format with pre-programmed citations.
Who might be sponsoring Polimalware? Anyone who stands to gain from corrupting the American political dialogue. Corporations are the agents of the perpetrators, and the perpetrators are most certainly the uber-rich who own the corporations. If we consider that the article about the Koch brothers that I posted was bait, then we probably have already caught our prey, for notice that Polimalware appeared almost instantly after the bait was dropped into the waters of the Internet.
There could certainly be other prospective perpetrators, the Chinese among them. Just consider that Polimalware appears to have corrupted the entire political process in Washington DC. The Tea Party embodies the insanity of Polimalware, and the Tea Party has just managed to stymie American government and to hold it hostage to what is demonstrably a nation-destroying ideology. The nation that is destroying itself is America.
Now perhaps you understand how Polimalware operates.
