*Lights one, last ciggarett and prepares to type*

I JUST got done reading EVERY post currenty in this thread. I have a couple of things to say. (I hope somone doesnt post while I am typing this...xD Make me a liar...)

US Psy-ops teams posting on message boards is very very probable.
If you ask me, they've already infected this place when it came up on radar. Simply put.

That being said, we need a definet way to sort out the danger, and even, destroy them with counter tactics. (These can be discussed later.) I can recomend my own thread "Code/Crypt". Its a good start. One of the only ways I see to communicate, truely, without worries for pourposes of this site.

I suggest this. Anti-propoganda. Or should I say, Counter...propoganda...
I recommed weeding out bots and spies on this website any many others. How about... All the humans would post a single lined message at the start of their posts. Code...
xD Of course, now we can't use THAT particular way... I've already posted it, where it can be cracked and used against our cause... Something to that affect, however...
I say we start posting subliminal messaging of our own....Everywhere... Without pattern, or reason. Every HUMAN can already think of hundreds of ways to quietly advertise and do our job.
Everyone who is on the side knows it. And will do their best to help.
Peace and love.

Such as?...Posting relevant ideas and suggestions, good quality reading with a positive message behind it.

What kind of cigarette was it that you smoked? I'm having difficulty making sense of this. I will say this though- you have a very limited understanding of what it is that PSYOP units actually do.

Where did I say "truecolours thinks Im part of a US Psy-ops team"?

No I didnt say that? So what are you going on about?

I was referring to other people

Maybe you are and you're arguing with your own alter profile about it, hmm. LOL. He who smelt it dealt it, maybe the poster of the USAF Poster on this thread is the culprit, sounding the alarm to find out what is known about them. The USAF Poster may be false but the policy isn't. No Service member is to speak ill of the Commander In Cheif or the Service as a whole, and they are certainly not to reveal classified knowledge, to do so is punishable by Court Martial...so no active service member will be caught on camera, tape, internet, quoted in the paper, what have you, saying anything but praise or debreifed rhetoric about anything of the sort. Unless, they are a moron. They may be discovered and reported by anyone, anywhere, and at anytime. Really think, short of being stupid, these experts and knowledgeable members would reveal anything or give not so raving reviews, unless, it was ordered or authorized to do so. Surely, such idiots who would don't pass extensive evaluations, monitoring, and psycho;ogical profile assesments as would land them any real substantial position to put them in the know or they'd know the very real risks involved. As for being transparent..that's a disinfo ploy to det you to admit who you are-- as for internet aspects, remember, electronic signatures and the like are admissable in Court. You agreed to the internet operating system, ISP, and site agreements, didn't you. Only a fool would acknowledge who they are if they have something damning to say. And they military would never encourage you to directly link them to a potential scandal through you which such transparency could make difficult to distance themselves from, unless they are idiots too.

Sorry so sloppy, don't feel like editing.

Of course there are these teams on the net. Some of them are here too.

The two main ways of supressing the truth are death and ridicule.

You can't kill anyone on ATS...

But you can say, "Reptilians! " without stating why you think it's humourous...

US army psy-ops teams

I have always thought that the 'psy-ops teams' from the US Army were about 'psychics'. I could be wrong, but I do hope that other members can think of the thruth.

BlueRaja, i hope I'm not doing you an injustice by pulling this from your recent post...

U.S. PSYOP forces will not target U.S. citizens at any time, in any location globally, or under any circumstances.

Great link, btw - fas can be an excellent source.

The thing is, though, we know full well that while it may not be official policy to target US citizens, it nonetheless happens.

MKULTRA certainly targeted civilians. What else goes on that hasn't come out?

The most obvious example of "aboveground" PSYOPS recently has been the effort to portray the disaster in Iraq as necessary for, and then beneficial to, the people of Iraq. This stuff has been squarely aimed at the folks at home to keep them "on side" in a (to say the least) dubious conflict.

You know, if you really want to find some good candidates for PSYOP posters on here, you could do worse than scrutinising those posters who were trying to make out how wonderfully the reconstruction was going.

However, I'd say the most devastating PSYOP - which may not have been official, but was nonetheless a classic of its kind - was the anthrax attacks.

They came just after 9/11. I kept hearing on the news the phrase "believed to be the work of foreign terrorists" and I was frankly incredulous that no-one seemed to be asking "believed by whom, exactly?" and "what evidence is there for this belief?"

The country panicked. Sales of cipro went through the roof - someone made a profit - and likewise duct tape and plastic sheeting if memory serves.

As a Brit, used to US-sponsored terrorism (I narrowly escaped being blown up by an IRA bomb once, but, you know, life goes on), I found it all faintly ludicrous. And, of course, very impressive. With a minimum of actual attacks, the whole country had been thrown into a panic, just as the shock of 9.11 was wearing off and just as the PATRIOT Act was being pushed through.

Sure enough, following the story closely, it turned out that it wasn't the work of foreign terrorists after all, but you'd have to scrutinise the news pretty closely to know it. No, the anthrax came from Fort Detrick, and as soon as it was narrowed down to being the Ames strain, all the samples held there were destroyed, preventing any genetic matching. Whoops! Oh well.

And of course it narrowed in on Stephen Hatfill, who was my favourite "person of interest" as well as the FBI's... and then it all went quiet again. Later, some other poor schmoe topped himself and Hatfill went on to collect a massive payout for being falsely accused.

REally? Yes, really.

Can anyone think of another case in which someone's been falsely accused ot something, not even taken to court, and got a massive payout as a result?

Something fishy there? I'd say so.

So, yes, the anthrax attacks get the rich23 prize for Best Domestic PSYOP of 2001.

Unless you count 9/11 itself, of course.
