Have you ever gotten an email and wondered "is this TRUE?". Well, unfortunately it probably isn't and, unfortunately, many people believe it is. What's worse is that lying as a means to affect opinion is becoming accepted as the norm in America. How can we, the citizens of this great country, develop informed opinions and make correct decisions when it is all based on LIES. It should not be tolerated. We are eroding the moral fiber of our country.

With this blog I hope to expose, what I call the "FRAUDMAILS" of lies, distortions, half truths, and hate and hope to garner support from you. Please send me emails you believe are FRAUDMAILs so I can factcheck it for you. It does not matter what the subject is. Forward your email to me at
demandthetruth@comcast.net

All the emails in this blog are lies having been sent to me from those who support my cause. Before each I show the title or titles they go by, followed by a short summary, the type of fraudulent tactics it uses, a short opinion, and then links to sites that expose the lies.

Subject: $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA

TITLE(S) OF THE FRAUDMAIL
$20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA‏
FRAUDULENT TACTICS USED:
JUST PLAIN LIE,
FALSE REFERENCES, DISTORT THE TRUTH OR PROVIDE HALF OF THE TRUTH, FALSE REFERENCES, LINKS THAT SUPPORT THE EMAIL, Hypocrisy

This email was sent to me in May, 2010. It first appeared in February, 2009 over a year ago. Another example of how these fraud promoters just keep sending the lies even if they have to pull an old one out of their hat. It is full of lies, half truths and actually has a link to the federal register. The emails says "You just spent $20,000,000 to move members/supporters of Hamas:" but if you look at the docuement in the Federal Register it says "an amount not to exceed $20.3 million" so you did not just spend it and it will not be spent on Hamas. The majority of it will go to the Red Cross, and the U.N. Relief and Works Agency which George Bush contributed $85 million dollars to in 2008.

HERE IS THE EMAIL:

Why didn’t we bring Nazi “refugees” and assimilate them into American society before World War II?

HB 1388 PASSED

You just spent $20,000,000 to move members/supporters of Hamas, a terrorist organization, to the United States ; housing, food, the whole enchilada.

HB 1388 PASSED

Whether you are an Obama fan, or not, EVERYONE IN THE U.S. needs to know....

Something happened... H.R. 1388 was passed,
behind our backs. You may want to read about it... It wasn ' t mentioned on the news... just went by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN
screen.

Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA . This is the news that didn't make the headlines...

By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in "migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees and "conflict victims" in Gaza .

The "presidential determination," which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States , was signed and appears in the Federal Register.

Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.


Now we learn that he is allowing thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in, the US at American taxpayer expense.

These important, and insightful, issues are being "lost" in the blinding bail-outs and "stimulation" packages.

Doubtful? To verify this for yourself:

PLEASE PASS THIS ON... AMERICA NEEDS TO KNOW

WE are losing this country at a rapid pace.

TITLE(S) OF THE FRAUDMAIL
This is our president? In His Own Words.

FRAUDULENT TACTICS
USED:
FAKE QUOTATIONS, FAKE REFERENCES, DISTORT THE TRUTH OR PROVIDE HALF OF THE TRUTH

First of all, any email that states there is "No need to go to snopes" should send up red flags. They use it to divert you from actually checking. Here is a perfect example of how they show you quotations "straight from the books" when in reality they are far from it.

This is the part that really disturbs me. This is an email sent by a someone I used to respect. I thought they were Christian, a Patriot, and moral. Even though I repeatedly shown them the lies they were spreading and how to fact check emails, they still continue to push these Fraudmails of lies knowing what they are. This person is not a Christian, not a Patriot, and not moral. A true Christian would not intentionally spread lies. A true Patriot would not poison the minds of our citizens by spreading lies. A true person of moral character would not allow themselves to spread lies.

Subject:
Fw: This is our president


This is our president

No need to go to snopes here; straight from the books!!!!

If the President and the Parties in office were reversed,

there would have been motions to impeach

this per son from office before his term reached this far.

THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT

FORWARD TO ALL YOU CAN

Everyone of voting age should read these two books. Don't buy them, get them from the library before they are removed from the shelves.



From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'



From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white..

From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

And FINALLY, and most scary!

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to do so!

Now, do you understand the mentality of this President

running our GREAT nation!

These are his words straight from his books!

Email Title(s): Obama said troops "whine about bearing the costs" of going to war.,This Unbelievable President!

TACTIC: DISTORT THE TRUTH OR PROVIDE HALF OF THE TRUTH: This one is a little different because they have taken a satire by a conservative humorist, John Semmens and put it in an email and called it the TRUTH. Apparently they really like this guy because they did the same thing with a previous satirical piece he did on Obama's Flag Pin.

President Obama Cancels National Day Of Prayer

Ok, here is one by a so called "christian" who apparently believes the "Freedom" our country is built on is the freedom to LIE and DISTORT. In in 2009 the President decided not to hold a public observance but instead Obama issued a presidential proclamation. Far from deciding there will no longer be a "National Day of Prayer". The email continues to morph and is making the rounds on the social sites.


President Obama has decided that there will no longer be a "National Day of Prayer" held in May. He doesn’t want to offend anybody. Where was his concern about offending Christians last January when he allowed the Muslims to hold a day of prayer on the capitol grounds. As a Christian American "I am offended." If you agree copy and paste no matter what religion you are, this country was built on Freedom

WHAT A DISGRACE!!! AND HE IS ALL AMERICAN????

TACTIC, LEAD WITH THE TRUTH: It is true that O'bama removed the American flag from the plane, but what they don't mention is that it was a chartered plane and the flag that was on there was a LOGO of the company. Obama removed it and replaced it with his own logo and placed an American Flag on the side of the plane, just as McCain did.

Obama The Patriot - Removes American Flag From His Plane

The Patriot Room
Posted on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 8:11:07 AM by Bill Dupray


Barack Obama recently finished a $500,000 total overhaul of his 757. And
as part of the new design, he decided to remove the American flag from the tail...

What American running for President of the United States would
remove the symbol of his country? And worse, he replaced the flag with it with a symbol of himself... Obama is such a despicable human being.

http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vdGlueXBpYy5jb20=

Please forward this if you're not ashamed of our country and our flag & if think this is a disgrace.

If you do not forward this to everyone you know nothing will happen. If Obama is elected president of the United States we are in trouble. If you think the Liberals can lead our country just look what Pelosi and Reid have accomplished for us.

JAY LENO... "HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD"

TACTIC USED, LINK TO FAMOUS PERSON: OK, I am going to start this blog with the first "fraudmail" that set me off on this mission. This one uses the "link to famous person to give it credibility tactic" David Letterman, George Carlin, and a whole host of other famous people have been linked to it.

Here are the Fact Check Links

JAY LENO... "HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD"

The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right?

The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and
69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the president. In essence 2/3s of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change.

So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ''What we are so unhappy about?''

Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter? Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job? Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?

[ ...]

We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.

With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, "Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"
