Is this board a target of covert agents?

Yesterday's Glenn Greenwald Snowden disclosure exposes a wide range of covert online activities directed against online political communities.

While this board seems to be free of the worst of these tactics, some of the techniques are rife here. This chart -- of many -- is of particular interest:
There may not be any bona fide covert agents here, but there surely are a bunch of wannabe covert agents, tools of tyranny. It behooves us to be aware of these tactics and call them out when observed. It's an enlightening read.

...Claims that government agencies are infiltrating online communities and engaging in “false flag operations” to discredit targets are often dismissed as conspiracy theories, but these documents leave no doubt they are doing precisely that.
Whatever else is true, no government should be able to engage in these tactics: what justification is there for having government agencies target people – who have been charged with no crime – for reputation-destruction, infiltrate online political communities, and develop techniques for manipulating online discourse? But to allow those actions with no public knowledge or accountability is particularly unjustifiable.

"Swap the real for the false" is a tactic overtly used by the whit house.

Ever saw the letters NSA in the last few years?

WTF! Damn...that chart of 'techniques' is more confusing than one of my philosophical rants! 
BTW, I would welcome with open arms and a glad heart, a rational apologist for the Government who'd come on here and persuade us with real wisdom. I WANT TO BELIEVE.
However, just today, Rush mentioned some Professor who has written a treatise positing the idea that Liberalism can not co-exist with FREE SPEECH.
She thinks free speech should be subservient to Justice.
I don't have the Link to that bomb...and I really don't even feel like it's worth arguing. Because it's obvious that rational argument in the political discourse...is fast being ditched for the Chicago Political methodology.

Most likely if for no other reason than to monitor anti-regime activity and report on it. Anyone criticizing Obama on this board should be careful about not revealing ANY personal information. The Obama admin has exhibited a clear pattern of retribution against opponents. And for the record this is not partisan paranoia. I have never felt this way about any POTUS Dem or Pub.

but ended up like this:
Sometimes it occurred within an hour or two.
Other times over the span of a few days.
First attack in 2009 took out every fark on my account -- Saban stuff, LSU, Tubberville, etc. Reloaded all of them, made security changes. That helped.
Subsequently the only jammed images were the political ones.
Talked with management at Photobucket, they were as befuddled as I was. It was during the flag@whitehouse.gov period. Eventually the fark trashing petered out and went away.
Creepy while it lasted though.

Our government is scary as frick.

The government definitely has internet trolls on the payroll.
Youtube is infested with them.

Rex is their most insidious operative. He is really a ultra right wing fanatic who hates dogs and attends Catholic services daily. Little known fact, he voted for David Duke instead of Edwin Edwards.

Explains Decatur's three personas quite well.

I've long thought that many of the left here as well as the guys that shill for the GOP establishment during election season are paid operatives.

I have thought on occasion a few posters here are government disinfo. A place like Democratic Underground is crawling with that. I am not some big Chomsky guy, but he said it right.
"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum."

I made a formal accusation last year against a poster on here. Did research, found their posting pattern all over the net.
Admin PM'ed me. Sent research. Nothing happened.
Poster was DA.

Oh yeah I'm sure this echo chamber is just crawling with operatives.

The influx of "believers" who have newly registered and posted on this board over the last 2 or so are pretty much the same thing.
What an explosion of liberalism. I'm sure it's just happenstance.
