That would be you and the millions and millions and even more millions of protestors and the Fox-Newza-Palooza last month

While I do see a vastly increasing trend of ATS users with no profile, and hardly any posts, or threads, coming into threads and de-railing them, or just posting blatantly ignorant things, I can't blame it on dis-info agents. Yet.

I'm sure that there are some people in here that will back him up until the end, while never being affiliated with the gov't. Thats just the nature of people.

Everyone has an opinion. Whether its right or wrong is your opinion, too.

Just my $0.01 (-$0.01 adjusted for inflation...)

It is totally silly to suggest that someone without a profile is ...well, up to no good on any list. Given what I see with all of the left column displays exhibited here for ego's sake, the first thing that a spy would do would be to order up a nice, eye-catching one to add weight to their professed opinions.

As for the increase in posting of those with mal purposes (more or less). Understand that never before as any President had such a youthful following. These young minds use the internet, etc. unlike....say, their parents. So it is obvious that the traffic is going to start being slewed toward positive views from that side.

And I laugh to read that ATS is 75% liberal. Where or where did that concept come from?

The Israeli government has publically stated that they have hired young people to put a positive spin on all things kosher. Undoubtedly, we do the same and have done the same especially in the UFO info area.

Any brand of these folks will be tough to battle because it is their job, not just a afterwork pasttime. Consider for example, that a properly organized unit (whether they worked in a call center or in their "home office" will have the capability to tap into a database (library) where they can quickly find material that only a few of us have the tenacity to do on our own before we tire of the thread/argument. Plus, they will have researchers on tap that will track down data/info that is not quickly found on the internet.

Anyone that has had a close association with the UFO topic for many years will be the first to agree that there are disinformation units out there, far more active, far more sophisticated, and in far more areas than ever before.

OK, so I confused profile with those displays in the left column. Same difference.

Silly?
Maybe I'm the only one noticing the increase in new members that have no profile or info, and derailing threads consistently and posting ridiculously boring, celebrity, or just plain garbage threads. I hardly think its silly. How many threads can you tell are garbage just by reading the title? 65%? Maybe its just me. I apologize.

Sorry to rant, but this is off topic too. This is about dis-info agents.

You are just adorable, lol. I never even mentioned Obama in any of my posts much less rant about him. I pointed out a skewed citation to the OP and you were ready to proclaim me a disinfo agent. The rest was sarcasm.

Whether or not you watch Faux news is immaterial, because you sound just like their mindless minions, and debating you would be like trying to teach my dog how to do the hand jive, lol.

This is crazy, because I often find myself thinking the republican party has people going on message boards spreading obviously incorrect information to start trends.

At the same time the government does not need to put agents out there on the internet to spread their views. The population is diverse enough that people are going to be spreading whatever message themselves. Only real reason the government would need agents on message boards is to start trends in my eyes. In that case it would be logical to have agents infiltrate a message board community, gain respect within that community, and then when they have the communities trust mislead them with far fetched ideas. In my mind that seems like a far better investment of time because everything else is going to be taken care of already by ordinary people.

I also think that it would benefit right winged press sources to tell it's readers that everyone who opposes their views on the internet is getting paid to lie. I could see some real programs being distorted to make it seem as if this was actually being done. Who knows though, maybe it is.

First of all, I personally don't think that the government, the FBI, the NSA, NASA, and many other agencies, could give a flying rats butt about a site like this. Considering that half the folks here are intelligent and have thought-provoking ideas... but the other half believe that politicians are reptilians, and that we are all going to die in 2012 because of a special invisible brown star, this site is not going to be considered a serious threat anytime soon.

And second, it's common practice to call anyone a disinfo agent if they disagree with your stance. I myself, even though I've just tried to voice common-sense, have been called a disinfo agent on both UFO and 9/11 agendas. Yup.. they keep me busy. When I don't have my normal day job.

Proof of this coming from rightwingnews.com...lol, of course

I don't doubt that this is happening in some for or another, but it's nothing new. Don't you think the same thing was happening during Bush's administration...don't be so gullible.

What I find absolutely hilarious about the current debate is how quickly Obama supporters have begun to behave like Bush-bots. Moreover, I love how so many of our 'skeptics' cannot apply empirical reasoning to their own arguments or to the questions that surround Obama. These folks have no problem dissecting 9/11 or ranting about 'vast right wing conspiracies' but question the Tyrant of Tranquility and they can't wait to go on the attack.


Obama automatons....Bush bot 2.0.

I don't doubt that there are disinformation agents here. But why do you single out Obama? You know if he has them, then the other side has just as many. Both sides are completely corrupt and they both use the same tactics. Republicans have their tools too. Never forget that both parties don't give a damn about us.

this is just great. so the mods need to keep track of who is signing up new so that we can make sure to catch those *ss holes before they get to far in and find out who knows and posts what. If they get our call signs then they will know who to look for. We need to have some one who is good and knows what to look for so they can find disinfo agents. hell my name is ryan and right now i work for a website company. if you need the name so i can prove it just u2u me. i dont trust people but i aint one of those disinfo agents.
