From the Abstract:
"Many millions of people hold conspiracy theories...Those who subscribe to conspiracy theories may create serious risks, including risks of violence, and the existence of such theories raises significant challenges for policy and law. The first challenge is to understand the mechanisms by which conspiracy theories prosper; the second challenge is to understand how such theories might be undermined. Such theories typically spread as a result of identifiable cognitive blunders, operating in conjunction with informational and reputational influences. A distinctive feature of conspiracy theories is their self-sealing quality. Conspiracy theorists are not likely to be persuaded by an attempt to dispel their theories; they may even characterize that very attempt as further proof of the conspiracy. Because those who hold conspiracy theories typically suffer from a “crippled epistemology,” in accordance with which it is rational to hold such theories, the best response consists in cognitive infiltration..."

You are all being paranoid.
No one gives a crap about a site like this.
As far as everyone is concerned the normal world has no interest in ATS. Its still considered a joke amoung the living. I don't tell people I have joined purely so I don't become the loser at work.
We all know Mr Sunstein and he is part joke and part nomad. Next week he will be looking into piracy sites.
The people on ATS are so up their own asses think the government gives two craps about people who are in the most part unemployed with too much time on their hands.
There is no one trying to get YOU!!

Kiss my American white butt.
Want to "dispell" conspiracy theories, Mr. Sunstein?
Prove them wrong, without lying or hiding information.
Oh wait, you can't do those things because our gov't won't release the proper information

I cannot and will not reveal anything or much now but as this site is heavily monitored by TPTB and Mr. Sunstein's purpose for wanting to be on this site and being on this site cannot be revealed now.

Hey, if I were a Government official and found a website which is primarily about "bringing down the powers that be" Id consider it the enemy and also infiltrate it.

I personally think that allcredible govts regard cospiracy sites or talks as a mild joke, entertainment or mere gossip.

All Gov'ts refer to sites like this as the tabloids.

Who is the most famous ex community organiser in the world, tantamount to saying he's an Alinskyist, here's a clue he's a good READER and may or may not have recently had some kind of surgery on his head and he's a relative of the Queen of England.
Wolves in sheep's clothing abound these days but if you look carefully you can see that they have sharp teeth, big ears and long noses for sniffing with.
