Telecomitalia.it is a favorite launching point for professional spammers. In the past couple years I’ve sent at least 20 LART complaints to the abuse address listed above and never got a response.
Good info on the story here. If we pop all these rhetorical phrases into Google, web archives, and other search engines, we might come up with something/someone plausible based on speech patterns, such as “Crypto-Stalinist”, “surprise and wonderment”, “record-breaking election”, etc.. It would not surprise me one bit if this turns out to be Obama himself behind this, writing from his encrypted Blackberry while rocking back and forth in the corner sucking his thumb with a blanket over his head in full crackup mode.
