Unfortunately, only just today I was informed that I am, indeed, a government disinfo agent.
I guess that means I'm not qualified to partake in this program.
Imagine my dismay...

Prove im not a disinfo agent...prove i am a disinfo agent...you cant prove either so its a pointless thread
You see, my theory is, that you cannot LEGALLY STATE that you are NOT a dis-info agent of a government or corporation.

Old wives tale? If you are arrested or tried in court for evidence obtained from a cop who when specifically asked "Are you a cop?" lies by replying "no". Then the evidence obtained through that deceit is useless in court. This is no old wives tale. I've seen it in action.
In the United States at least.
btw, I'm not a disinfo agent.edit on 2/28/2011 by Drezden because: (no reason given)
Hahahahhah as a former drug dealer I've had my fair share of trials and I'[m telling you right now without a doubt 100% you are wrong...That's a old law and since has been overshadowed by undercover officers right to protect oneself by not admitting he's a cop.. I've seen it personally in trial and in friends trials that they can lie to protect thier identity for ongoing investigation purposes...An I live in The U.S...oh by the way Nice Bansky Avatar!!! I love his art

The section that you are quoting from is in regards to an off duty soldier, being questioned pursuant to a civilian investigation.
I am 99.9% sure that posting on an internet forum is not an official statement. Considering they did not have to even tell the truth to civilian investigators investigating a crime:
He was not answering the questions while on duty.
Dis-info agents posting on a forum as part OF their duty, ARE on the other hand.
The precedent still stands, Posting falsehoods while "In the line of Duty" is a violation of the Universal code of Military Justice, because they are Acting in an official capacity, and "On the Clock" so to speak.
I have come to the conclusion that this one factor, within your entire philosophy of this concept, causes the whole idea to become void. It is inconceivable that you would be on duty 24/7/365.

Recent revelations on Above Top Secret have lead to information that states that Paid government information agents are unable to post falsehoods, under penalty of the Universal Code of Military Justice.
False Statements made while "In the line of Duty" are punishable under the UCMJ.

I would like to state now, for the record, that I am not currently, and have not previously been paid to spread propaganda, steer truth, or guide discussion on any social website or forum.
I am here entirely of my own free will to conduct discussions as I see fit, for entertainment, enlightenment, and increasing knowledge of the hidden truths of the world.
So, if you have the courage, then State openly that you are NOT a dis-info or propaganda Agent for pay, or under contract from the Federal Government, or ANY Government or institution, public or private for the purposes of steering discussion towards a set agenda.
This is an attempt to separate the wheat from the chaff.
So, in that idiom, here is my plan to do just that:
Step 1: State that you are not a propaganda, dis-info, or discussion steering agent under the employ of Government or Corporation in this thread.
Step 2: paste YOUR POST (Copy link location from "This Post" on your post) into your signature like so:

(Check out MY Signature for an example, the purpose of this is to provide quick identification)
Step 3: Let the List Grow (Tell your friends, Etcetera)
Step 4: PROFIT!
