If CIA/NSA would want to control anyone they would be better off with mainstream media instead of wasting time on a fringe forum with high percentage of nutcases claiming all kinds of stuff. It simply would be incredible ineffective.

How much of the overall number of people do you think are on conspiracy forums?
And how do you think would it be practicable to "control society" from a source where you NEVER know what is true or what not and where it's the case that about 75% of reports/posts/news are pure nonsense?

Here we go again.
The people "debunking" any accusations of ATS being infiltrated - to any degree at all, it seems - resort to calling such critiques looney conspiracy nuts who've had their feelings hurt and have bloated egos. It's okay to disagree, but come on, that's just lazy !

At "ATS" there is this pesky little thing called facts.
Without them, it's just somebody's opinion.
Are there fake users here?.....We are all nameless faceless users.
Censorship?....You bet there is. Anytime facts are not presented.
Fraud and Pure Lies?...With over 200,000 members. I'm sure there is some of that.
CIA Front?........You better have some proof before you start slinging that crap.
4. A thread about the event pops up on AboveTopSecret.com. It is almost immediately shut down by a moderator, because AllNewsWeb was original poster of the video. AllNewsWeb is one of MANY outlets re-posting the YouTube video. AllNewsWeb wasn't the original poster, and in fact there was ZERO proof of this at the time.

Of course this place is infiltrated, any website like this is. There will be lots of different personas on here, some debunker, some CTists some just throwing around ridicule and stupid comments. Anything to stifle discussion and make sure topics do not go anywhere. Is it a CIA op? Possibly, woudn't supprise me one bit. May not have started out likethat, and site owners may not even be aware if companies they're being funded by are a hidden CIA front type company.
Still, wiles away the hours, doesn't it

They are only just catching up on the independent and alternative places.
Trust me am not lying I have posted things on here and seen it "spun" to a more acceptable story on BBC later that day.
They have no control unlike the rest of the Media, so they confuse, undermine, ridicule and put false info on ATS much much more than I think any of you realise.
This is their biggest enemy TRUTH and to even think that a site like ATS is not crawling with them (from outside) is imho a little naive to both the nature of propoganda, and their fear of having no control of the information.
Why I found later in life about 45% of the Facts (what I studied including science subjects) were total lies, fabrications or written by the victor.
They have always wanted to control the information you receive from birth, and this is why new laws are being suggested for example in the US that posting on these forums could get you arrested and such like.
THEY ARE TERRIFIED by the truth and alternative media, it brings down the illusion, removes their power base, liberates the slaves as such.
