Phishing for Phools - making money on the Deplorables

[timelets]

Bloomberg Decrypted has a fascinating story about a guy who made millions of dollars by feeding conservatives garbage stories about Obama's concentration camps, etc. His business thrived until earlier this year Facebook decided to crack down on distribution of fake news.

Obama will soon take advantage of the law that Bush passed—but never used—under his administration. Bush passed a law that would allow the current President of the United States to declare martial law at their discretion under executive action—and we all know how much Obama loves to bypass congress. Once this is in place, the military will have the power to act as Obama’s henchmen, and throw any freedom loving patriots into these FEMA Camps.

The entire episode sounds like a chapter from Bob Schiller's Phishing for Phools. Unbelievable.
