Come on, there has to be a bit of a balance between for/against arguments otherwise everyone on this site would just believe in reptilians and moon base theories without rationally questioning them. Surely that's just as bad as believing everything the TV says?
P.S. don't just label me a 'disinfo agent' now because I don't outright agree with your theories without even questioning them. that would just prove my point.

i dont know about "paid dis-informants" but i suspect from recent encounters i've had or seen that there is a group of islamofascists and their supporters that are working together as a team on some threads to drive their message home to us.
up to this point i havent wanted to lable anyone as an enemy (check my profile)but i'm tired of being on the receiving end of some criticisms which i view as anti-semitic .

Skyfloating,
I wonder how many websites deliberately place devils advocates into threads in order to help them along
you are absolutely right on that angle. I've got to remember "think out of the box!"

You can label me a disinfo agent
After all, if you say the world is flat, or that marshmallow aliens shot down the WTC, or that the Sun is 12ft across and made of lead, I'm liable to dismiss your ideas and offer evidence that you're wrong (or, at the least, that they have no validity - not sure I can entirely disprove the marshmallow alien theory) ..... And the same goes for 1,000s of other ill conceived and unlikely ideas presented on ATS, usually by those who haven't quite done their homework.
I'm always willing to be proven wrong though
So what's wrong with that? What does anyone have to fear? But the truth?

Have you considered that that could be part of the strategy too? Have guys creating lots of ridiculous, insane threads to make the whole site look bad?
- Debunk/discredit the people who really are close to the truth at all costs
- Spread lots and lots of disinformation, distortions and half-truths
- Post lots and lots of crazy garbage to make the whole site look bad

Essan, I have posted on many threads with you and I percieve you as a fellow member who just happens to think differently than I do.
