Statement on Spam and VoteNader.org
evel...@votenader.org
You may have received spam email recently that appears to come from our
campaign, or be about our campaign -- perhaps the "From" and or
"Reply-to" addresses look like they are coming from VoteNader.org. Or
perhaps you have received a message that appears to come from an
individual (if the address is real, the real owner probably did not send
this email either) with suppressed recipients. Or maybe you received an
email that appeared to come from yourself promoting our site.
These messages are NOT from Nader for President 2004, and these email
tactics are NOT condoned by our campaign in any way.
UPDATE: Some of the latest forged emails have been made to appear to be
coming from naderexplore04.org. Again, we are not responsible for this
unfortunate abuse of email, and there is little in the technical sense
that we can do to prevent this as it has nothing to do with our actual
infrastructure. We are collecting information.
NOTE: The emails with malicious code (viruses, worms, etc.) often have
attachments. Our campaign will NEVER send attachments in our
announcement emails to you. Please be sure that you have anti-virus
software and have the latest updates available for your anti-virus
software.
Our hosting service has alerted us to say that Nader for President 2004
appears to be the target of what is called a "Joe Job." Such an event is
where a spammer forges email to make it appear to have come from some
other domain (such as ours -- or yourself). This is hard to prevent on
our end and part of the insecure nature of the email protocol in
general.
Members of our actual email list must request to receive email from us
(either through Ralph's signup sheets or subscribing during our
exploratory phase, or now on our campaign site). When one signs up for
email they must reply to a confirmation message before they receive our
list announcements.
Our public announcement emails come from "camp...@votenader.org,"
contain a "Paid for by Nader for President 2004" statement at the
bottom, and have "upd...@lists.votenader.org" in the "To:" header.
Unfortunately, some of these indicators can be forged as well.
Most of the Spam that we have received complaints about appear to be
forged from email addresses not associated with votenader.org (often
forged to appear to be coming from government email addresses), and have
our website code embedded in the body of the email with hidden tags that
contain random words that work to subvert anti-spam software.
If you are on our lists, you can ALWAYS unsubscribe at ANY time by
following the instructions included at the end of our announcements. You
can also use our unsubscribe page using the email address you signed up
with.
If you are receiving this SPAM, we extend our apologies.
We will pursue the spammers to the full extent of the law.

a jew does not make me a human being so I can be
tortured exclusively, just to find out some basic facts. Abu Omar a Jew
one had told me before he went to Pakistan to rape my step sister that
okay what happened to you and your family happened because you did not
join us, if we knew (that your elders were Jews) this would not have
happened. He told me this because he though I was a jew (for some period
of time), these jews have no respect for human lives and human values,
basically if you are against their wishes then you will be raped and
totured if you are not a jew.
May God end the day of these corrput and wicked, racist liars, may God
free the humanity from slavery and give us the ability to be direct with
these cowards, who wouldn't mind killing and torturing those who aren't
like them but wouldn't really bother admitting it directly.

Real conspiracy theory's script: forced confession
Assalam u'Alekum,
Third night when he couldn't pull anything out of me, very late at night
he started pressing my fractured bones, specially the fractured bones in
left side of my body really hard. I had fever and people I am a human
being, he started doing this because he wanted me to sign a form he had
brough it, every time I even tried to deny him, he would either press
the fractured parts a lot harder so much that I would start screaming,
or else he would just dip me in water again, I had very high fever.
I guess it did not really matter for him, weather i had feelings are
not, weather unbaised justice was my right too or not. He just wanted to
say the words he wanted me to day and then sign that form, he tried many
times that night to make me speak exactly the way he wanted me to speak,
sometimes upon forgetting a word or two (because of those injections to
erase my memory) he would either hit me on the fr
