Several stories appeared today for a short time on the USA Today website. They where later removed and it was claimed that they were placed there by a hacker. But I think that it was just a coverup by Them after to much of the Truth was revealed.

The stories included:

Opps says the Pope; Christianity a Sham!
Something that most of us have known for some time.

Donald Rumsfeld: An American Beauty?
Claiming that the Secretary of Defense is homosexual.

And the cover story:

Bush proposes another new Cabinet post

Washington D.C. (AP) - Today, George W. Bush has proposed yet another cabinet level position. The Cabinet Minister for Propoganda and Popular Englightenment, will be setup to complement the recent addition of the department of Homeland Defense. It is reported that, if approved, Bush would appoint Dr. Joseph Goebbels to the post.

In recent weeks Tom Ridge has complained that his department has lacked the proper authority to keep terrorists from infiltrating the american mind. 95% of Americans, in a Gallop poll, agree that we have to do all we can to rid the country of terrorists, showing the public still strongly supports president Bush in his campaign against terrorism.

If the move is succesful, people close to the Whitehouse think there could be a turf war between Goebbels and White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. Since September 11th, Fleischer has come to enjoy controling public opinion and has expressed dissatisfaction with the idea of a Popular Englightement Minister. There was a constant flow of customers buying everything.

There is no truth. There is no true history as it is written by the winners. I also do not believe in the idea of cover-ups or the ability of a person being so good at hacking they could think up these great ideas at place them on the inter-net USA Today Website. It was most likely an inside job by a disgruntled employee.

Inside Job? I doubt it. Defacments happen all the time and there is nothing extraordinary about this case, that suggests that it was done by an insider.

For an idea of how often such defacments hapen just take a look at the Alldas.org defacment archive.

I also do not actually belive in either the existance of Them or the Truth. The post was mostly supposed to be a joke about this funny if immanture hack.
