since if anyone says anything against Israel,
there will always be couple of posts screaming that the posters are anti semetic, anti jewish or bigoted against israel.

so my question has ATSbeen infiltrated by The JDL?

Man...getting a bit tired with the whole "Has ATS been infiltrated with [insert random group here].

Short and quick answer: Yes...it would be a crappy group to not be spewing their point of view, but dont worry, the other side is also represented here.
Republicans, Democrats, CIA, FBI, etc etc...all these groups have a propaganda man on here and everywhere else doing their talking points...it all balances out though. As far as the average joe CT hobbiest, just ignore the silly stuff and continue on the search...do your own research, take no posting, subject, or response as gospel and move on. The one beauty about ATS and other sites like it is that such people can post here...freedom of speech and whatnot.

I am only disappointed that most of these subterfuge agents aren't marked so we can ask reasonable questions to said representative...but then again, that may not be productive for their agenda.

Please.

ATS is like Jew-hating heaven. Every freakin thread has some sot of Jew-hating post in it.

Just because some people don't buy into the "Jews Control the Wolrd" conspiracy theory, doesn't mean the Jews are out to get you.

Hardly. As one who reads many threads, I can attest that the notion you are bringing forward comes from selective reading.

There is a multi-faceted selection of opinions expressed here regarding the Middle East. Even the staff has the same mix as the membership at large.

Don't forget anti-Masonic, anti-gay, and anti-immigrants....


The truth is that the correct answer is NO.

There is no need to INFILTRATE this place. It's an open community of posters. It's not like you have to be one thing or another to join and engage in debate or commentary.

Are they here; very likely YES.

Did they "infiltrate?"... NO.

Will they proclaim their intent or expose the drive behind the bias?.., doubtful. They would have to be willing to be met with direct questions that they can't answer without losing their ability to disrupt....

Well Yes everyone has infiltrated ATS but isn't that the point. To deny the ignorance. =)

Thats just what they would say! *watches you more closely*

Are anti-infiltration agents infiltrating ATS?

Wouldnt ATS have to be some kind of stronghold for it to be "infiltrated"?

As far as I know, anyone can join, and can remain a member as long as they post quality content without breaking any of the rules.

So if your worried about "infiltration" of our little "stronghold"...then I guess it's because there isnt anything out there to stop ANY group or opinionated individual from "infiltrating".

Which is why this site is so great. Theres alot you can learn.

It seems we see a thread like this on a weekly or biweekly basis.

Religious zealots are taking over.
Anti-religious trolls are taking over.

Republican/right wing shills are dominating the political forums.
Democrat/left wing shills are dominating the political forums.

Masons are teaming up to silence the conspiracists.
Conspiracists are teaming up to insult the masons.

Pro-Israel posters are in cahoots to drown out any criticism of Israel.
Anti-Israel posters are in cahoots to drown out any defense of Israel.

Skeptics are ruining the board.
Believers are ruining the board.

The truth is, ATS is site opened to the public from all over the world with all sorts of beliefs. Anyone with an internet connection can join and post. What these threads really come down to is someone being aghast that not everyone has the same opinion as them.

Has ATS, and specifically this thread, been infiltrated by staff? I think so....

This runs in cycles that correspond to what's going on in the world. Some weeks it's the ME. Other weeks it's Washington DC. Or riots in Europe... Or ufo's over Chicago.

If it's goin' on in the world, odds are it'll be discussed here at some point.
