Not sure I should 'out' them on this particular thread without their OK.
But you got quite an idea into how they recruit and what they ask you to do re disinfo...
thats my 2 cents...they are out there....

If anyone is a disinfo agent or whatever it's you !

So because someone says they were you believe them? Can't you also see that the fact the person supposedly admitted it shows they weren't? First of all a person saying they were a disinfo agent is more likely someone saying that to bolster their opinion that there are disinfo agents in ATS. Very easy to say one thing, then open a new screen name and say "SEE I TOLD YOU SO!"
Second, lets say there were disinfo agents on here, which I personally don't think there are, there is no way in hell they would be allowed to admit it. There is zero chance. If this supposed confession was in anyway credible, it would have been huge news in and of itself.

I remember reading an article in the news somewhere about the military doing this very thing - going online into web forums and posting to influence reader's positions and views on certain subjects - makes sense to me.
"Posting to influence" is what EVERYONE does on ATS! It is not "disinfo."
If that were true, there'd be no point in having a "discussion" forum, except to congratulate each other on being so 'right.'

I know for a fact the govt. does that, in fact it has been admitted they have cyper agents to create problems and have disinfo posted, besides combat threads with truth.
