  • Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2003] (Click to enlarge)PLEASE ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF: Anton La Vey, high priest of the Church of Satan, meets with noted Attorney John Kerry at CISPES function.Origins: Politics often joins some strange bedfellows, but it doesn't get much stranger than this: Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts posing with Anton Lavey, the self-proclaimed High Priest of the Church of Satan. This one is easy to debunk even without knowing anything about the origins of the photograph. Although a portion of the date in the putative newspaper clipping is (deliberately) obscured, enough of it shows to reveal that the article in question supposedly comes from an edition of the San Francisco Chronicle published on a Sunday, July 17, sometime in the 1980s. Only twice in the 1980s did July 17 fall on a Sunday, in 1983 and 1988, and the 1983 date is ruled out because the article refers to congressman John Kerry, but Kerry wasn't first elected to Congress until 1984. A search of the 17 July 1988 edition of the San Francisco Chronicle turns up no such article. This item is doubly debunkable because we do know something about the origins of the photograph. It's a fake, a composite made from two other images: one of John Kerry greeting clown Rami Salami in 1998, and a picture of Anton LaVey posing with rocker Marilyn Manson in 1994: (en)
