The scary thing is, this isn't a one-off thing, the news suddenly started getting a lot more hoaxes around late 2012. People accept all of the stories and see a trend that doesn't even exist. The media, courts and first responders around the whole country are participating. There are literally tens of thousands of people that would need to be dealt with to get this back under control.
Frightening!
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70139902 Question is, how could they pull it off under a police state, when virtually ALL communications are intercepted?
a. Thats maybe HOW they are pulling it off

- each individual participates out of fear. greed. money.
They don't realize that their indiscretions (sex, bribes, corruption) are digital records that will be stored and used against them time and again. They are the true slaves, yet most of them feel "special" because they are "in" on the big secret, like a big club full of degenerate souls who have no idea that the national, and possibly global, witch hunt will not overlook them.
Nothing changes through the ages. No empire has ever withstood a cowardly and immoral People.
Don't blame "them", we each allow it everyday. Asleep or barely awake, we close our eyes to the immorality (some feed off it) and pretend it doesn't matter. Shirk our responsibility. Our duty, and we chase after the petty desires of our hearts.
