Ah-so, sites like ATS are being watched by the ‘monitor lizards’. I see. Well, then maybe a black suit won’t look too shabby on me. Oh and by the way, is the color level still ‘Peri-[wink]-el’? I’m thinking perhaps the color has taken on a darker hue of maybe more ‘mauve’, eh. [Never mind, it's late in the night.]

I agree that ATS is watched but I think its not some CIA sub contractor or whatever the case is. It's a lot more effective to just harvest all of the ATS post into a database.

I do believe agents are out there on "teh interwebs" doing there thing but in my mind the main question is man power. Would the CIA/NSA/ETC even bother to outsource such a menial job? Then think of the numbers of the goons they'd have to have in order to watch every half decent tin foil web site!

i know i read it somewhere most likely this thread,
someone was sugesting that perhaps ATS could cross check users IP's to see where the user is logging in from... eg Government, or NASA, Monsanto etc. etc.

i was wondering about the logistics of this but think that it could be a good way for ATS to remain uncensored.

someone also mentioned something about a sort of suspicion section on the profile page, where other users can put what they think somebodys "agenda"'s might be...

i think thats a pretty cool idea...
it would be interesting to see who would be suspected of what...

2 things here that I see:

1.) Jhill lists all of his "certifications" in his tagline. Those certifications are meaningless and its interesting that he used them. Anyone can pay for classes and take a test and pass it and get a nice pretty spiffy piece of paper, but it in no way means that the person knows anything of substance about the subject.

I've been working the MicroComputer industry since 1981 and I have some pretty spiffy nice pieces of paper too, but in contrast between Jhill and myself, I have over 27 years experience in the field that I work in. To me and the folks that I have worked for over the years, including the US Air Force and the US Government, Jhill doesn't know diddly (he barely has dried the water behind his ears). Its not a put down Jhill, just a fact of life. You have no life experience or hands on experience to go with those shiny pretty pieces of paper.

Keep in mind, they are not equal to a college degree, even though the computer industry has tried to make them look that way.

2.) Why would anyone on this site want to go to work for DHS or any spook agency? To be a part of the Problem ? To SPY on folks and report us all to their handlers? Hmmmm, you folks just need to think things through a little longer.

I have been alive on this pretty blue rock for almost 1/2 a century. Seen alot of things, experienced a lot of things. Wisdom I have plenty of. Knowledge I have and am seeking more, always.

Folks have to decide whether to take the BLUE PILL or the RED PILL !

And Jhill, I'm not trying to disrespect you. I think you bring a fresh view of things here. Just remember, us older folks can pass on lots of wisdom to you younger folks. Everything is not as it seems and as for us older folks, WE know the difference and you young bloods still have to learn it.

Once again, I am going to have to challenge what you are saying. The gov't holds information security above everything else, and to allow someone who is not holding the proper clearance to operate equipment or gain access to a network that is classified should result in the least an inspection by the IG, and at the worst a court marshal. You seem to think this kind of thing is funny, or ok....well I dont.

How about you go to anyone where you work or go to a scif nearby and try to gain access without the proper clearance....see what happens to you.

Thanks for the background info Jhill. You may well have achieved all that you say and you may well be charting a course for yourself in the intelligence industry, but is it authentic or do you just fancy yourself in that role? There's a big difference between a diploma factory and actual miltary experience or an advanced specialty degree from a traditional university. What better place to play a role than on the anonymous internet?

Somehow I think that a person who is doing all of those things at such a young age and in such a short time-frame would either not have time or not be so interested in posting on ATS and, at the very least, would not be broadcasting so much info about themselves and their intentions on the web - out of concern for their future employment prospects.

I still agree with the premise of the OP but I also think it's just as likely that a linguistics bot is collecting the data based on key search terms and subject matter.

All the best to you, OP.

i work for a government agency, and we do stuff like this, but to monitor the mafia and other organized crime and such. Any way, I can say that the OP is about spot on, that is procedure.
