An exploratory study is being done to determine if there are unique psychological attributes of people working for social change which differ from the general population. Three measures are used, as shown below. The survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete; participation is voluntary and anonymous; no IP addresses or other personal information is logged. Results of the survey will be posted at a future time. Any partially filled out surveys will be disregarded; only complete surveys with every question answered (except for gender) will count.

Your gender (optional):

Male
Female

CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT

This little gem is a concatenation of the Rotter Locus of Control scale, the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and a piece of Spector's Interpersonal Conflict at Work Scale.

The submit button sends it to a private company, Portland PC Contractors. A WHOIS on their domain leads to an administrative contact with an email address in a domain belonging to a company called Fog Cutter Capital Group.

OK, maybe the author is a student who just happens to work for one of these companies, but I catch another odor.

This could be intended, first, to identify respondents who have a propensity for political involvement (the Rotter scale) and then certain tendencies among those with a high internal locus of control, i.e., tendencies towards depression and interpersonal conflict, so that these can be exploited against activist types.

Or the purpose might be to gather data that can be used to support the proposition "Look at how emotionally messed-up these people are".

In any event, it smells of rat.

Best either to avoid it altogether or flood it with bogus data.

__ I wear my tinfoil had shiny side out.

__ I wear my tinfoil hat shiny side in.

There are spelling errors in this personality test. Translation: It is not put together by a serious organization or individual.

The destination for your answers is a software and hardware consultancy:

"Portland PC Contractors ( Portland PC ) is a group of computer technicians in the Portland area that work together to provide a broad range of on-site services to the residential community in the greater Portland Metro area."

Why would someone at such an organization seeks this kind of information. Given their background, it is highly likely that they are very adept at tracking down IP information.

The website is registered as follows:

"Administrative Contact, Technical Contact:

Kraemer, Nate (NK2047) nate.kraemer@WREI.COM

"

A search on the name Nate Kraemer comes up empty. This is VERY odd.

"Nate Kraemer" has an email address from a domain other than portlandpc.com. This other domain is WREI.COM

If you check out the webpage for http://www.wrei.com you find that this website is for:

"Fog Cutter Capital Group Inc. is a Nasdaq-listed corporation which focuses on the acquisition of assets where its expertise in intensive asset management, mortgage and real estate credit analysis and financial structuring can create value.

"

You can't get more capitalist than that.

Which is also Dave Hansen.

Genericnetworks.com maps back to www.fccgi.com which is another domain for wrei.com. Thus, the nexus of operations seems to be: www.fccgi.com

If you visit www.fccgi.com, and check out their management group:

http://www.fccgi.com/company/management.asp

You will find interesting things such as:

"...Mr. Wiederhorn also serves as a director of CCKX Incorporated, a California based container rental company since 1994; a director and Executive Committee member of the Citizens Crime Commission of Portland Oregon, a community business based organization focused on the reduction of juvenile and adult crime, homeless youth..."

and

"Executive Board member of the Boy Scouts of America"

and

"Mr. Mathis was the Executive Director for the Portland Oregon Citizens Crime Commission"

Two of their small collection of officers are connected to the Portland Oregon Citizens Crime Commission at a very high level. Examination of the majority of names of the officers of this corporation make one suspect that they have Zionist leanings. Zionists have been targeting dissidents with smear, libel, and defamation campaigns containing false accusations of insanity.

DO NOT FILL IN THIS SURVEY!!!

...in a clever bit of misdirection, "Genericnetworks.com" is only one letter different from "Geneticnetworks.com".

GASP!

A search of Geneticnetworks.com revealed the following information:

Owner: Paul "Overlord" Williamson

Mission statement: Perfect the Master Race

Company Motto: "Better Living Through the Systematic and Calculated Elimination of Inferior Human Beings!"

Purpose of the survey: Find the traits common to peace activists and weed them from the Master Race genetic blueprint.

Geez...maybe you guys better NOT do the survey.

daveman systematically defends KOBE. KOBE SBM works for Computers NLA. Dave Young works for Computers NLA.

That's at least as significant as daveman's observations with the small difference that it is based on factual information.

Okay Daveman. So now, youre me. And Im supposed to be Dave Young. "a small change in the name yields Dave Young"????

A small change in the name Mary yoelds Gary. I therefore conclude that Mary is a crossdresser, right?

The delusion continues....

...which way do you wear your tinfoil Hat?

Do you have a preferred brand of foil?

A preferred shape?

Pyramidal perhaps?

After all you do believe in that fantastical, and preposterous, tale of 19 Arabs who could not competently fly a Cessna 180, were invisible when they went through airport screening, hate our freedoms, are good Muslim's but went out drinking and whoring the night before they went to meet Allah, and were Top Gun Pilots in Jumbo Jets. ROFL!!!!!

the feigned laughter of the paid toady.

...the spite of one who has engaged in bitter conflict ... and lost.

Go ahead and tell us the truth, we know already anyway.

How much do you make?

I work as a male prostitute for the IDF.
