ATS: Are secret services reading it?

I think we might have a chance to ever know that this particular website is being watched?

Is it possible that the CIA or other national forces are interested in this website for any reason? Many secret services around the World may be interested in certain issues involving this forum, users may provide informations about others, events, or simply anything to do with paranormal or unexplained perspectives of certain issues posted right here.

Knowing that this website is visited by special people only, (eg: thhose with special capabilities, some having certain devices to be special of some sort, having interesting informations, or simply some people from unknown societies, like aliens). Secret services may be spying for example on a certain person claiming to be an alien, and some virtual evidence prooves it... like documentary, or simply things no others should know about.

There are maybe discussions of sensetive issues, that should not be discussed on an open forum, because they are supposed to be secret. The name "Abovetopsecret" is right the best to be interested in : What the heck is any issue above top secret?

This point has been discussed several times. I think we can safely say yes it is being watched. Alot of the material being exchanged can either be close to the truth, bang on or provide a risk, hence posts suggesting the infiltration of A51 and the such. Much of which can and will be discarded as being useless mind.

What I am interested in the most is if someone had confidential material and posted it, can the person be tracked down from the post?

I would hazard a guess at a yes on that one. I'm no techy wizard but people can get all the details they want if they know your email addy and have the knowhow.

I think the best thing is to way up how much damage that confidential info can do, then decide whether or not to post. I have had this dilema recently, but the info i wanted to share here on RATS is such that it could cause more hassle than i can envisage, so instead i will just follow the rule i've always followed, If you really don't want someone knowing something, keep your mouth shut!

CX.

wouldnt be suprised if there was some way of tracing the ip info, then they would force your isp to give up your info

You know how it is with government workers... So I'm guessing no. Since the government has infiltrations with the more mainstream media outlets, until this website mysteriously cracks the top 100 most visited websites, chances are they simply aren't interested. Maybe if the people who run ATS ditches the emoticons they just might be interested or some other way of sprucing things up.

Stay within the law, stay outside of those not, and you ought to be OK.

Everything these days is looked at.

And how many of those will pose a threat to classified information/ secrets and conspiracies? I very much doubt they would turn a blind eye because it doesn't feature in the top websites.

I think that if this website hasnt been watched yet, it will be in the future. I would not be suprised if one day this site will be called a gathering place of "evil".

How about this: You're insane.

Yeah, its scanned, as there has been material posted that has been requested by the government to have been removed (due to classified leaks and such)

Give me your zip, I'll tell you traffic conditions.

If I recall a while back a member claimed to have seen ATS on a news agency computer in the back ground? or something related to a news agency taking material from ATS and reporting from it?

Google Search for government secrets

Abovetopsecrets is the first one listed of 52,000,000 hits...

yes. we are. we read and listen and filter EVERYTHING.
this place is easy. people GIVE it away.
doesn't matter, though. we have the tech to listen to every electronic correspondence available to man. we can see through walls, too. there is no where to hide.

we say 'have a nice day'.

Lets see, the internet was created by Al Gore? NOT! How about No Such Agency! And a well known high Illuminati member by the name Bill Clinton orders the release of thousands upon thousands of documents, highly classified documents to what? Spread knowledge? No, to identify the people who would use the info to try and save thier dying world. And in the mean time all the people who stand up and reveal themselves to be God lovers and patriots are entered into a data base that will be used for the great roundup of trouble makers and terrorists. Rex 84, anyone?

The intermet isnt being used by intelligence networks, it is the intelligence network!!!!!!!!

Have a nice day.

OK, let's make a statement: YOU have something useful for me on ATS, and I want to have it as a CIA agent. I know nothing about your whereabouts, but I know for example that you are useful and so are your informations.

As a CIA agent, I do not wish to disassamble the ATS, nor do I want to become a Supermod to trace you. It may be too much of a showup. Therefore, I will make good relationships with you on the NET, I invite you to several websites, you need to use your personal profiles there (EG: login passswords, address infos, birth of date, etc). Iff I am lucky, I'll get your MSN login passwords, your credit card's password, and so on. I can do the same with your friends, your relatives, and nobody will ever know that it's ME, who is spying on you. Just because you are trusthworthy, good, and cannot see that I am here to spy on you.

Usually agents are NOT working on to hurt anybody, but they can be really clever in gathering informations, still being harmless to their "victim". It can just become clear, that great informations from YOU just keep flowing to ME, and I can benefit from it. As a secret agent, since this is what they are paid for.

Is it true that all internet posts go through the NSA computers at Ft. Meade before they go anywhere else?

Special capabilities, you say?

Like a brain?

Special devices, you say?

Like a computer?

Aliens, you say?

The only interest the secret service, in America, has with aliens is how much they charge to cut the lawn and clean the house.

I thought that all secret agents, who are government employees, just sat around drink coffee and waiting for the phone to ring. If a secret agent is monitoring anything on the internet from thier office cubical, it is probably porn websites.

Don't kid yourself. I got into trouble in 2005 for posting something on Fark in March. It took them a couple of months to get to that thread, but in June I got my very own pair of analysts who eventually found me by means of chicanery.

Grant you, they had reason to be pissed. But that's another story.
