i do wish ATS was more solution oriented rather than the eternal pissing contests. I would imagine if all these different groups came together in the right way, we could formulate a plan for this country that would work for all. I know this is a conspiracy site, but ultimately all conspiracies come down to the inner working of society, politics, and economics.

Ok, you just got a new pc with windows on it. You boot her up, load your default software and start browsing to ats.
Suddenly, and completely expectedly, Windows says "Duhh I need to update." and goes off checking update servers. It doesn't just start downloading from a web page. All those microsoft alerts...
But it's more entertaining to ourselves to think it's a secret microsoft trigger once you hit the forums on ATS. No one would ever detect that...
-- edit to add
And it sounds like you just plugged your webcam in. No way it will want to auto update. Windows may have been updated. But automatic updates and software updates are entirely different things.
(my tv just went out and no signal. seems they've got me too!)

To be clear I allowed it update first completely before I browsed here. I have made threads prior with the same keywords but with no hint at organisation a little weird traffic insued however quickly ceased. But once a hint of political organisation with constitution and federal reserve as targets of interest all the above issues happend in short order. Dont get me wrong the thread is true and I do intend on getting a few of my friends in politics to help set it up I found it strange that that was the thread that tptb have taken an interest in. I have sniffer programs installed and running as well as a complex firewall that stops and reports all traffic. I have client credit card and personal info on these machines so security is number one.

Run a sniffer on your PC to check for traffic that shouldn't be flowing.

This. So much this. The attitudes of some people on here remind me of a line from The Simpsons:
"You gotta help us! We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas."
People are constantly on here complaining about how bad the world is but when pressed to actually do something they act like it's not their responsibility. The way I see it ATS doesn't need to be infiltrated because we'll beat ourselves every single time.

My personal opinion is that you're intentionally trying to sell us a complete load of bull in pushing a paranoia campaign, either for personal kicks or out of some self-entitled sense of following

My phone has had the same situation, sometimes the battery lasts only a few hours. When I turn off all internet connections it stops sucking battery life, so there is definitely some program utilizing the internet.
Whether that's to do with someone infiltrating my phone though I'd deem unlikely. More likely a rogue app partially functioning or something.

And if you have nothing of any value to add, it's better to say nothing at all while perhaps going back to school to learn the difference between "your" and "you're"..

Best we not fight among ourselves name calling etc. just a waste of time that accomplishes nothing, nada, zilch. Nothing worse than pathetic bickering and putting anyone down, and if I was guilty of that I apologize. Some people just need an attitude adjustment in terms of the way they relate to their fellow man, so I said what I felt needed to be said. We have enough troubles as it is fighting the PTB so why fight amongst ourselves?

Oh yeah, the entire net is monitored by programs and when certain keywords are used, individual agents are alerted and will look into the situation further.
Something about "Project Echelon" or some such.
I have no doubt this site and EVERY site that can be commented on that can be accessed publicly, the PTB have agents on to sway public opinion, distribute disinformation, misguide, discredit, character assassinate, create strawman arguments, out right lie, and if all else fails, troll and derail and get the discussion closed / deleted.
Thats the internet we have now.
