There is a company, Horner G6S Mercenary Incorporated, who is hiring mercenaries to go kill ISIS members for $500K a piece – so the story goes. Of course this is fake. All articles from the National Report are works of fiction, much like the Onion or the EU Times. The reason these websites write these tall tails is simple, they make a lot of money on the traffic their exaggerated headlines generate.
If we were to do a write up about this story, assuming it were true, our write up would look like this:
The National Report came up with a news item stating that a militant organization out of Phoenix, Arizona, is hiring assassins to kill ISIS members for a cool $500,000. The supposed name of the organization is Horner G6S Mercenary Incorporated. The said company is willing to pay half a million dollars regardless of one’s “killing” experience. G6S is owned by Paul Horner, who is in complete disagreement with the way President Barack Obama has handled the ISIS crisis.
Gwen Hawkins, one of those who has signed up with the company, has expressly stated that she would like to volunteer as a human time bomb and would like her family to cash out the insurance policy she had taken out in case of her death. Jason McKay, one of the newest members, said that he would be willing to be infected with the Ebola virus and get caught by ISIS so they can be infected as well. Michael Adams, one of the more established assassins, suggested forcing these people to eat bacon would be a good way to disarm them, since it is against their religion.
There are speculations running around that Ross Perot was the one who founded this organization as a way to start a presidential bid for the elections in 2016.
