I was just wondering about the FBI and social media.

Since it is an absolute fact that the CIA and FBI have infiltrated all forums set up accounts, bots and placed themselves in the governing bodies I was wondering who are our designated agents on above top secret? They are here and just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they are not watching you.

It’s not hard to find them in virus threads. Who is this sites Jim baker?

First, I think you mean "infiltrated", not infuriated.

Second, what does it matter? If the presence of a possible government informant in any way inhibits your expression, either what you are expressing is potentially unlawful (and you know it!), or you have already submitted to the "panopticon-paranoia" of social mind control.

Either way, you're scr3w'd.

The problem with being relentlessly cynical and paranoid is that inevitably you wind up attacking people who have fought beside you since the beginning, simply because you don't know how to turn it off.

If you have to ask then you are most definitely a person of interest to them.

a reply to: iwanttobelieve70

Who cares? If you think you're safe...your not! If you think they aren't watching you...they are!

I hardly think it matters at this point but you can be almost certain...in the scheme of things...you're not even a drop in the bucket and nobody gives a crap what you're doing!

If you're on ATS...you represent one of 320,000 people...hardly worth the government even batting a eye...they don't care what happens here! Even if they did...who cares...they'll lie about it anyway!

Enjoy your time on earth and worry less...you'll be better off!

Maybe YOU are hiding in plain site? Oooh Oooh Oooh 😎

to be honest since I first ended up on bulletin boards in the 90s I've always posted what I'd say face to face in real life..

if we get to the point that we've progressed so far that we've gone back to the witch hunts then we're back in a place that anyone can decide what you're thinking inside you head then you're already guilty of whatever they want you to be guilty of.

in other words if the world is that progressive then we're all scr*wed..

I'm unsure that there would be much benefit to such efforts as 'infiltration,' at least here on ATS.

Careful consideration was made in ATS' rejection of activism, and we have always worked to protect the membership form "echo chamber" dynamics (which is a common practice in indoctrinating and agitative efforts.) With proper diligence we can detect agent's provocateur activities, and squelch behaviors that could be abused by any intruding agenda.

Insofar as surveillance, well... don't let that scare you; anyone, not just government agencies could do that almost anywhere. As for me, well, I don't communicate things I can't answer for... so I accept the risk.

Any theoretical agents don't need to participate in our discussions... especially when participating only opens them to analysis (assuming they are even interested.)

Since none of us post to not be answered, I find it unreasonable to resist posting what are my own genuine thoughts, but I can't speak for anyone else.

I think they (or anyone for that matter) could be collecting data and will only come to use it if they fear not using it... (they are all about fear, it's their sole "motivation.)"

These accounts on ATS aren't too difficult to spot. They're generally accounts that were established years back that went somewhat dormant then inexplicably see a large spike in activity uncharacteristic to the original poster's behavior.

Often they'll start threads on a daily basis that reinforce MSM narratives and fall completely in line with the Democrat ideologies and agendas. They'll babysit the threads and respond condescendingly to anyone making common sense observations. Then just as quickly as their activity spikes....they disappear. Only for another suspicious account to start posting in a similar fashion.

Anyone who's frequented ATS has seen this.

Great observation. That explains a lot.

a reply to: AgarthaSeed

That's the absolute truth. But I wholeheartedly believe there are counter-accounts too that argue with the fake accounts with the weakest arguments possible. Just to make one side or the other look bad.

They were going after people with one follower.

Well then...accept your fate!

You are doomed!

I hardly think so...but if that's your stance then you're likely screwed anyway! That's really a horrible way to live your life...constant fear...that's kind of what they want my friend!

Hey now... I resemble that profile.

Granted, I would be surprised if anyone characterized me as a partisan voice, but as a moderator, I can sometimes be accused of 'babysitting' my own threads more evidently than others, And I tend to contribute in sizeable spurts... I don't like where this might be going. I too appeared here relatively long ago, and I too ceased contributing for a span of years (while life became more than I could 'share' here,) only to return to our ATS community.

So I am, by your characterization, a candidate for suspicion.

I'm not sure how to feel about this, other than a bit disappointed to 'fit' the profile you describe.

"They" are watching you Maxmars...no doubt about it! LOL

I guess I'm of the mind that even if "they" were...it was a bit late when I hit "accept" to join all these random websites that host "conspiracy" and the likeness! What am I going to do about it now?

Honestly though, if I think I know enough, or that I'm important enough that "they" are watching me...I'm kind of delusional anyway! If that was the case, I'd certainly have more money for sure!

a reply to: jerryznv

Oh, those poor bastards! Sadly, there's a lot there to munch on, given my history with them. But I am confident that I represent nothing they value ... and such efforts require justification.

Of course, they are trying to get to the point where it is no effort at all... we should be sensitive to those developments.

The drive to point out agents reminds me of COINTELPRO.

Read up on ROSE Am I the only here who knows of this document?

It is long, but easy read. But is in place now and has been - for a long time. Has some outstanding points in it that you will recognize across the web....
Im not worried about *here*...
But strangely, on Twitter, there are a ton of newish accounts following me. All fakish women profiles, very few followers and hardly any if at all, tweets. I do troll certain entities a lot. But since the Twitter drops, I have noticed some different things.

FB is a whole 'nother thing. Fb you can lock down and you chose who follows/friends you. Grant it, that can be done on Twitter... to a degree.

But here....there is nothing ever said that, IMO, would be a threat enough for them to sit and watch for anything other than their own education. At least not now. Maybe 10 years ago. But this place is different now. Nobody is whistleblowing anything here that is truly legit enough to raise flags to them. Twitter is one of the places they worry about it. It is the perfect setup to whistleblow on there. And to be a secret squirrel.



ETA. Sometimes, there are good guys mixed amongst the bad guys in the ABCs - for a reason. You know, the Snowdens et al. They still exist. Trust me.

Hmmm, is it possible the fact here is that you think anyone who does not agree with you is from the government, simply because they don't agree with you?

How many millions of people do you think it would take to monitor everyones activities online? I'd think if they are online, they are looking specifically at people already known to them as either threats or criminals. Considering the human resources they have, that's all they are capable of.

I highly doubt ATS is of interest or on their radar. Maybe the occasional individual every few years. Thinking they are looking over everyones shoulders is more a case of being irrationally paranoid.
