I was reading a book I picked up at the library and to my surprise, my favorite website, above top secret was mentioned. The book, Mirage Men by Mark Pilkington talks about the government controlling the information we receive and believe about ufos and aliens. I am only a few chapters in with the book but the author believes we are constantly fed misinformation and they want us to believe in Ufos and aliens to keep us from finding out the real truths they are hiding from us ( what ever they might be.) He thinks even Above top Secret website is monitored constantly by the government and the government posts misinformation to confuse us. Any thoughts?

possible and likley, but people have been seeing stuff in the sky since the dawn of time. the gov takes advatage of that, but that doesn't mean there inst something up there

What I kinda figure is if there are aliens visiting us, then we have communicated with them.

If there isn't aliens visiting us, then we have probably found them but haven't communicated with them.

Or we just haven't found them yet..

I don't think it's such a big mystery to tptb like they make it out to be.

My thoughts are real simple and real clear on this one.... Of course we are monitored. You can figure every post we make is at LEAST keyword scanned in near-real time by Government computers. I'd guess the server farms at Ft Meade until they get everything moved to the new site in Utah.

It wouldn't just be ATS...but every site even remotely controversial or likely to attract types that will telegraph real world action before actually going out to do it.

Think about the Gifford shooting and other cases where the examples were even worse. Nutty down there was kind enough to telegraph his insanity not only right here on ATS (I read some of his posts here...he WAS a nut, even then and even in his messages) but his home movie at the Comm College and more.

If for NO other reason whatever....we're all monitored and watched on a site like this to catch that sort of thing. The obvious...of watching what might get leaked or pop up in other ways is a given and certainly no secondary purpose...but I think the catching of lone wolf time bombs would be the one reason we can look to. That makes for the ABSOLUTE certainty that our message traffic here is definitely viewed by a wider audience than has personal interest in the topics.

lol yea probably....

Thats all..

he specifically mentions ATS? And this is a nonfiction book?

Interesting that he can make these assumptions without ever even asking us any questions.

I guess it would be like me saying I believe his book is actually a government issued disinformation plot to detract the wise members of ATS from the truth found here.

I'm not actually saying that but it's about as reliable as his comments about ATS.

Considering that membership at ATS is free and open to anyone with an email address...what's most amazing is that you would find the idea of the Government infiltrating ATS surprising.

From what I can gather...the Government, any Government to be certain, claims to recruit and train the best of the best a nation has to offer. This being accepted, do we really think that disinformation would actually confuse these so called infiltrators?

In the last few days I've seen advertisements for Presidential candidates and Sheriff Joe...last I checked, all of these people are the Government.

So...what really is the deal, OP?

If anyone had any doubts of Gov Monitoring ATS, look no further than the 911 Forum.

There are 3 members who have never posted outside the 911 Forum,and will address any issue of 911 within minutes.

If a thread is made discussing the "elephant" in the room, between themselves within a few postings, the thread will be no longer about the "elephant", but the colour of the carpet, amazing really, and effective.

But why would it be in a book and not just on the internet.. seems like there would be more eyes viewing it. When was this book published?

It's hard to argue though, especially when the government has misinformed before.. i hate the shady s*** they pull on us every f****** day.

Well I certainly hope it IS being monitored because I'm pretty sure that I am supposed to be a member of the Illuminati!

The fact that I have type O- blood alone is supposed to be some sort of "in", right?

I am getting very tired of waiting here.

What's the hold up?

I am pretty sure that I'm supposed to be living in a beach house in the Hamptons and have at least 100M $.

Let's get moving on this please!

"You" should know where I am now! Just backtrack this post right here.

I will be home the rest of the day and will wait patiently for "you" to come with my 100M check and moving van to resettle me in the Hamptons.

See you soon!
