Remember these techniques are only effective if the forum participants DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THEM.

I found it funny to read about the posting of cop videos then coming back here and seeing one in today's posts. Most of the techniques they're talking about are visible here all the time. The problem I see it is that those doing it aren't cointelpro working for the illuminati or whoever, they're just marketers working for the different alternative brands like UFOs, Reptiles, Freemen buy Gold etc.

I don't see there's any solution to it. Especially in the Alternative as lets be honest, quite a few of our number are either properly nutty or just lazy benefit hounds looking for someone else to blame for the way their life is. That's aside from the fact that 90% of humans are dumbasses that believe anything they like the look of. At least here on Avalon we still have enough of the remaining 10%. But, as pointed out, their threads sink fast when the Reptiles and FEMA camps pop up.

Hi! I'm going to take this post as an example because the writer is no longer a member. I may be wrong but it seems to be a very sly way of pushing some misinformation (you decide if it's conscious or not). Firstly, there is the part about the majority of humans being dumb asses. This is a typical illuminati argument: we are stupid, we deserve what we get, we are no more than slaves and need to be treated as such. Then there is, at the end, the other ploy using a comment which makes others think that those who talk about reptiles, FEMA camps, etc are the infiltrators themselves, thus demonstrating the illuminati's fear of people such as David Icke & co!!! Then we have the buffoon who goes along with this and pops in and out of the discussion along the way! Remember this thread will attract the very same people who are attempting to misdirect the forum.

Shouldn't there be a lucky #7 ?.....making members so paranoid about expressing their views and engaging in conversations with 'strangers' that they self censor and become 'careful' to the point of saying nothing useful, asking nothing challenging, and gaining no new territories of understanding...

What you say is true.
I know that things I have said in public and on the net are in my WA Police file.
So the rule is, if you don't want it to come back and bite you on the bum, don't type it up.
So, everytime you see a post of mine, I stand behind every single character.

I am with M'lord on this one. I am very aware of being watched and show some care as to my publicly shared thoughts. Still, there is being wise, being a fool, or being a coward. Somebody(s) has to stick their head out of the foxhole. Otherwise just settle down and slit your wrists. What is happening is no joke and clowns are useless eaters at this time in history.

Hi there! My wish is not to be trolling or offending, but please let me tell my point of view about that.
I know the Internet is being watched, maybe I personally am (however that would surprise me considering how rarely I post). Though, I beleive in the law of attraction and thus, if I'm not worried about getting in trouble because of the words I put on the internet, I probably won't.

Again, I post rarely and I'm not involved in very sensitive subjects. But I have been a young fool discovering the freedom of posting whatever I wanted without worrying about the way my words could come back at my face. I should still be careful and chose my words wisely.

[Robert J. Niewiadomski]

Is it not funny how fast this thread slides?
BUMP!

And the sad side effect of bumping it, is for other threads to slide ...

The internet is a tool just like a gun, guns don’t kill it's the people who use them that do. The internet is used the same way both as a cure and as a virus (no pun intended). Question is, knowing at that moment when it is used as a deceptive device no matter what Forum your in.

I personally don't care who takes note of what I say. This is a lot of Fear Porn to keep the thinking people from having their say. Good way to lose your freedom, put duct tape across your own mouth.

Agreed. There seems to be a lot of fear on this thread and others.

It seems that some get off on it.....Get rid of the fear; and really, who gives a crap what someone might or might not do.

Our fears create many scary situations/scenarios....which actually never happen....

[CdnSirian]

Fear--oh so true. Nothing better than the likes of this whole thread to get a new-to-a-forum-person to bail immediately.

For an example of how a thread can be derailed, consider what happened in the last nine hours on the thread Farewell Colonel, many of us will miss you., between this post and this post.

I like this present thread, and thanks for those who have been bumping it.

Our best chance to improve our resistance to such tactics is to increase the awareness of more members.

The mods certainly can't do it all, and absolutely should not be sufficiently well staffed and empowered that they could monitor and filter every post in real time.
