Everything is being watched; we have spies at ATS.
Those who control the mass of information in knowledge do indeed control the mind.
In today's world, we are bombarded by a combination of (mis/dis)information on all fronts. There is controlled opposition at every turn; from politics, social media, to even AboveTopSecret
They are attempting to keep us all busy arguing with their agents of ignorance, all the while, they are hiding behind the scenes with the 'big master plans'.
So, they keep us divided, and fighting amongst ourselves, whether it is religion, race, same-sex marriage, left vs. right, conspiracy or not, so forth. The point I presume that I am getting to is quite simple
To the orthodox mind, the Gnostics all seem to believe something different: where as the idea, put simplistically was "know your own mind - find your own truth."
And that is as dangerous an idea to the autonomy of all societal power structures as any ever conceived.

All right, you have spies at ATS. Who are they? Are you able to identify them positively?
If you are, you should send a u2u to Skeptic Overlord or one of the other site owners outing them. You don't have to mention their names in a thread and get yourself reprimanded; just tell the site owners. Have you done this?

On positive side of "war of the mind".....
I would like to thank to everyone here who have debated with me on my last account - I dont remember who and info is lost. What I'm trying to say is - ATS is my teacher into the psychological war and ways to manipulate situation and people. I learn from the people who are trained to do the job, what else can be better ? and its free .
Sure I lost pointing my views, but I do learn a lot of stuff. Its not bad war at all. Now its fun to watch, read and anticipate how its played, its very tempting to join, but then I already know the result.

I'm sorry. I really tried not to express my views towards your statement:

Are you freaking serious? Or, are you just lacking common experience? (i'm really trying to keep my ego or whatever, at bay)
It is crystal-clear to me, that SO has no options to defend ATS from alleged spies. For instance, if i were a spy, there would be no way for this site to restrict my access here. And i'm sure SO is aware of this.
Analogous would be:
All right, you've been bullied to the extreme in a school. Who were they? Were you able to identify them positively?
If you were, you should go visit or send a letter to School Admins, just tell them the names of the bullies and they take care of them.
I'm tired of writing this bs-rant more, i'm sure you get my drift. Just OMG. And if you were just rolling with-a-T, be ashamed.
a positive sidenote: excellent thread over-all.

It's not as though these types of people have a large "spy" symbol in their member name or avatar; it is more to do with recognising a pattern in the way they argue, detract from a topic, or attack the messenger. Those that are skilled at their task are subtle, cunning and deceptive. It is not an easy task to prove that their motives for posting on ATS are counter-productive to the site's motto of denying ignorance.

I am still unclear as to the purpose of this thread, though. It seems many people agree that there's a war going on for their minds, yet they don't want to discuss who is fighting over them. Very strange.
If you still haven't figured out who is 'fighting over our minds'; then the point of this thread is lost on you.
