A diabolically clever plan, and they would have gotten away with it, too . . . but they outsourced the drafting to a direct e-mail marketing firm in suburban Ibadan, Nigeria . . .One message sent to a U.S. senator's office, which contained threatening and irrational language, was sent from an IP address traced to a government complex in Hubei province. The message dated January 12, 2011 was disguised as having been sent by Erping Zhang, one of Falun Gong's main spokespersons. Following a brief introduction thanking the senator's office for past support, the note makes a series of unusual demands including that the senator and his family should practice Falun Gong. It then ends with a threat to "launch our numerous supporters in your state and Large number of practitioners to veto you and your team in the next round" if these steps are not taken....
Gotta admire that fluent ESL turn of phrase.
Actually, I'm thinking that next time I write a letter to one of my senators or congresscritters, I'm going to threaten to launch numerous supporters and practitioners to veto him/her/it and his/her/its team in the next round. That'll have 'em quaking in their Guccis.
