ATS originally funded by the CIA

Patriot Act opened the door......legally...before that not so much.

Don't you think ATS members should be aware of this? Collecting data from Americans is a sore spot for many.

After 9/11 I think most of us assume we're being watched 24/7
Sometimes I wonder if they are looking through the walls..

To the agent that looked at my Linked in, I'm cuter than you thought right

Would you inform payroll I am a few hundred thousand dollars short these past few years?

Thanks in advance.

We know each other

DeathSlayer, that would be a howl if true. Can't really say as I honestly don't know. But as far as the Ford of the Pigs goes, I've only ever driven by it. I was a Cold War soldier in Europe, but never an intel guy.



Cheers

"5th Cav" is a reference to someone I knew who served in the Korean War.

Yeah, I was never intel but IIRC 2nd ACR screened the Czechoslovakian border and the Hof Gap.

"CID". Great acronym. Another acronym: SMLM

BTW. There is a website out there that has a lot of information about the old days. PM me if you're interested.

Right?

Most people don't realize that we are actual real people that may or may not be sitting in their underwear drinking coffee....and its really that simple.

That sounds an awful lot like what a bot would say, but what do I know? Hah hah hah. Good times, from one totally real person to another.

WOW you blew me over with a feather.....

Often a team is assembled and you don't even know the other guy's or girl's real name. We would meet in an underground facility in Frankfurt....that airbase that has been closed for awhile...what the hell is it name? Anyone with TS and above with need to know ten stories down behind steel vault in secure room. Guarded by U.S Air Force and those guys shot first and asked questions later.

I know a few of the guys you mention in your post, most of them are dead today... those alive sometimes we bump into each other due to covert butcher shop in Munich where you call in to leave messages...wait 24 hours and then go to first contact site and wait for contact....I was offered a long term positions but refused for man reasons....Russian MI love little boys, ME loves little girls and I could stand that....I preferred short missions. As they say you are only as good as your last case....

80's to 2000 worked for all 3 letter agencies (as military and civilian) .....teams were mixed from different agencies....

Since you seem to have some knowledge in this area, tell me why some agents take on a whole new identity, marry into a family, pretend to be a normal guy, and then disappear after 4 or 5 years as though they never existed? Leaving the wife and family dumbfounded as to what the hell happened. This has bugged me since the 70's. I'm not talking Hollywood. I'm talking a real incident.

a reply to: DeathSlayer

I'd believe it. I've had suspicions in that very thing for years. I'd love to hear about you visit? Which agency? I got yelled at by the flannel guy and slick cop over some "bear" encounters in the early 2000's. No suit types though. You musta really irked someone.

They don't have to, they can watch through your....TV, phone, any other smart appliance.

As far as the CIA goes.. I don't worry so much about what I've posted here.
More worried about some of the books I've purchased over the years.

Wait were you the flannel guy yelling at me about "bears"???

Sounds like it might have been Rhein-Main Air Base.

Yeah, "closed for a while", and then some.

"underground facilities" ... oh yeah. The Führer's boys left behind plenty of underground infrastructure; tunnels and whatnot.

Damn right I will PM you...

I was behind Czech wall in early 80's ... (walked across).
That main road that leads to Carlsbad....hookers every 100 yards.....

Loved Carlsbad (there alleged holy water) and Prague. My wife and her family is from Hof!

WOW ..... world is small.

So you understood my query. In that case...

There's a mouse in your room sir? I'll send the exterminator right away. Please be ready to leave when he arrives.

I really can’t say I would be surprised if it was, but most likely there are just operatives from alphabet agencies here.

Without saying the members name, not that it really matters, I had someone comment to my thread on coming lockdowns a year ago and noticed they never commented to anything ever again, only my thread. It’s like they joined just to be the first comment. I didn’t notice this until I revisited the thread a year later.
