And again the letter about a leisure trip from “Aktion Familie & Kind” is shared on Facebook...
This honeypot campaign has been causing trouble on the Internet since October 10, 2016 And the writing is repeatedly uploaded and shared on Facebook. But no one knows anymore in what context this supposed document actually ended up on the Internet.
It's about the letter about a leisure trip to “Belantis”, supposedly carried out by “Aktion Familie & Kind”, but only for refugee children:
Image in plain text:
Subject: Your request for a leisure trip
Dear Mr …
Thank you for your interest in our leisure trip to “Belantis”. This offer is aimed primarily at Syrian and Afghan refugee children and their families. The costs are fully covered by a state funding fund and, including arrival and departure, meals, 2x overnight stays and entrance tickets, amount to a total of €242.28 per person .
Please understand that we cannot take your children with us on the excursion. After careful consideration, we have decided to only make this offer available to refugee children and their parents. German children and their families are perceived as disruptive in this context due to the cultural differences.
Please check our website at irregular intervals or come to a family afternoon. We would like to plan another leisure trip in the future, but unfortunately the costs cannot be covered.
Strictly speaking, it is a honeypot promotion .
What the heck is a honeypot promotion???
A honeypot is an action that is intended to distract the opponent from the actual goal or to lure them into something that otherwise would not have aroused their interest.
The action was carried out by Micha Gerlach ( not his first ) from the Anonymous movement. Not to troll others, but to show how many Internet users still absorb and spread information without thinking.
So Micha acted in the spirit of “Think first - then click” when he wanted to encourage users to THINK with this action.
To do this, he had circulated the above-mentioned “document” as an image digitally (Facebook). After a while he replaced the original picture with another one.
Ergo, everyone who shared the honeypot suddenly had a completely different image in the timeline and it looked like this:
Image in plain text:
I'm still a completely narrow-minded Nazi and believe any crap without checking.
Admittedly, the text is not worded nicely, but the creator of the post (Micha Gerlach) also published the following status post:
Some people just don't learn
This makes you wonder: How many times do you have to show certain people before they finally get it? Finally, regularly check the reports that flutter around your ears every day. It's embarrassing!
Blind hatred is constantly being stirred up and spread without regard to the truth. Even a primary school child should notice that this letter was clearly FAKE. Just because someone can create a letterhead and think of a name for it doesn't make it the truth.
Stop this shit. Finally educate yourselves and bury your senseless xenophobia. Do you want to do something for your “people”? – Then get involved and support people in their integration.
With this in mind, always stay vigilant and fight for the good in people.
Your “Micah”
It was an action designed to make you THINK . A look at the website , which is now offline, showed the following:
“This site is a FAKE. Why do you believe every piece of crap?”
Contact us after our first article
After our first article, which we had written using classic research methods, Micha Gerlach contacted us and clarified the campaign by “Anonymous.net” himself:
Image in plain text:
The whole campaign surrounding the writing of the “Aktion Familie & Kind” was a honeypot. The name of the profile was changed from Sascha Härtel to Micha Gerlach.
You are doing a good job in the fight against stupidity - even if, unfortunately, it often seems hopeless.
Result:
So once again as a summary at the end - the letter from “AKTION Family & Child” is NOT real.
It was a honeypot campaign by Micha Gerlach to wake up internet users!
Stop re-uploading or sharing this image again and again. Micha Gerlach took this campaign off the internet a long time ago - but as we all know:
The Internet (unfortunately) never forgets.
