/u/assuredlyathrowaway is assuredlyaplant and now mod of /r/wikileaks as well as still a mod here (self.conspiracy)

MrBusBoy が 投稿

Reminder that this sub and well, basically all of reddit is/has been under the control of shady interests for quite some time.

I still remember when they made this guy a mod here. That was about when all the anti-semitic rhetoric started pouring out all over this sub, in an effort to detract legitimacy from valid discussions and turn a huge influx of newcomers (at the time) away from further investigation.

I'm not at all surprised he's recently been modded at /r/wikileaks. It says he's only been a mod on this sub for 9 months, but that's not true, he must have been re-modded. The guy has been heavily involved in this sub for years.

Annnnd my ban is now imminent. Hope a few people see this though, that guy is shady business and always has been. Check the mod logs folks.

This is a legitimate concern.

I requested some answers from him earlier but received none. He's complicit in the absolutely shameless censorship going down at /r/Wikileaks right now, and thus it's only logical to question his motives here too.

Want to chime in, /u/AssuredlyAThrowAway?

Feel free to fill us in on how you're involved in the fuckery we all see going on at /r/Wikileaks - you told me you were brought on board yesterday to "oversee" the other mods and frankly, things have gotten worse over there since that happened.

[–]AssuredlyAThrowAway 16ポイント17ポイント  (21子コメント)

I was added to /r/wikileaks to stop the behavior of one mod who was on a mass banning spree.

Since I have joined the mod team I have re-enabled self posts, began drafting a set of rules for presentation to the community for input, manually reviewed hundreds of erroneous bans, and stopped the censorship of comments/submissions to the best of my ability.

The only matter left to resolve is the fact that one of the mods who tendered their resignation yesterday has yet to leave the mod team.

[–]ColonelDwight 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was banned from r/wikileaks and will admit that you did immediately unban me when I asked. However, the issue I have is that I was banned in the first place. You can go through my recent post history and see that all I did was question the motives of the mod staff.

Notes from Mod Logs: 48 Users have been banned in the last 48 hours, and 6 in the previous 7 years.

48 users banned, and nobody from the moderation team is answering questions about it. Just some arrogant 13 hour old mod account telling them to take some weird poll.

Clap.. clap...clap...

I'd ask how you people live with yourselves, but sociopaths and narcissists alike get their jollies from power and personal gain, with no conscience to stop them. It's not exactly your fault that you were born fucked up, there are certainly a ton of people like you in politics, business, etc.., it's a mental disorder, and the world is designed to greatly benefit sociopaths, to place them in power seats.

However, you people really do fuck things up for those of us who do care about someone other than just ourselves. I know you know that, and you don't care, but jesus christ man. Fuck you.

[–]toastyawesomeness 3ポイント4ポイント  (11子コメント)

Jesus christ... calm the fuck down. You went from questioning his motives as a mod (totally fair) to calling him a sociopath and a narcissistic, and claiming he doesnt care about anyone but himself? People would take your argument much more seriously if you refrained from childish name calling and volatile language for no reason at all...

[–]MrBusBoy[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (10子コメント)

There are IRC logs which paint a vivid picture of his narcissism. He seeks out the power and control of being a moderator in many large subs. I have no qualms with what I said, he fits the profile of a narcissist and a sociopath easily if you look into him a bit.

[–]toastyawesomeness 0ポイント1ポイント  (9子コメント)

Fair enough, i guess I hadn't done my background research, just assumed you were riled up like so many others on this website. My mistake, sorry. If you could point me in the direction of the logs, Id like to give them a look

[–]FJHUAI [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Hey bro, it's cool that you are mod now, but I would like to ask a devil's advocate question:

Why would /r/wikileaks gain 5 mods, right after the huge backlash of just gaining 2 more mods? You are one of the 5 new mods, and people are saying that Wikileaks is compromised just like Bernie sanders discussion when the "new mods" kept deleting everything good about Bernie Sanders.

TL;DR: My question is: Are you for, or against wikileaks? Who are these other mods besides you, and why were they added with you at the same day? Do you have any idea what the other mods intentions are at this point?

[–]AssuredlyAThrowAway [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

From what I understand, the traffic spike in /r/wikileaks was entirely unexpected so the head mod decided to add a few new mods. The original two mods who were added seemed to have a pro-Clinton bias and the community chased them off.

In response, 5 new mods were added (this time from /r/dncleaks) as a way to address community concern regarding the prior two poorly-vetted mods.

I was added because I mod /r/dncleaks, and tasked with providing oversight of the other moderators by way of my firm commitment to the free flow of information. To that end, I have long been a supporter of wikileaks and other whistleblowers, and have always advocated for their inclusion among the ranks of other journalists.

God, after reading that and knowing some faggots go on power trips just from controlling this sub it makes me feel like the mods are pitiful. We shouldn't even be moderated, but I guess that's the way these fucking websites work. Why should we need someone to censor us? I wish there were a version of reddit that functioned exactly like the old reddit, but had no moderation. People can't be trusted, they always powertrip and let it get to their head. Reading that shit made me sad, it's so pitiful.

[–]MrBusBoy[S] [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

As the old saying goes: as above, so below.

If we find that the people in power at the highest ranks on earth (politics + banks) are generally a bunch of fucking conscience deprived assclowns, we can start to wonder whether people in general who seek out and work towards obtaining power/control over other people (be it as a corporate CEO, or even a reddit moderator) could be at least MORE LIKELY to be sociopathic/narcissistic in nature. They get off on that shit, control. You will notice those things go hand in hand, if you investigate.

Thus, someone who seeks to mod...how many subs does this guy mod...? SEVENTY something, several very big subreddits? Plus the way the guy speaks in IRC.. Like others are beneath him, intellectually and fundamentally. Why the fuck does this guy need to moderate 70+ SUBS? Is he a professional fucking reddit moderator? What is going on here? I've explained that. Either he is disinfo, or a narcissist/sociopath bent on control, Either way, not the person you want moderating fucking wikileaks right now especially.

It's pointless. These people (Him and other users/groups sharing control of individual accounts) are highly trained professionals. They are masters of deception, and they have an unlimited amount of time to concoct their responses to this type of statement.

Not only that, it IS rather impossible to prove such a statement, and they know that. No post is made on any of these accounts that might compromise the "presented identity", they are consistent. Not to mention the plethora of "regular user" accounts they can pop in to appear to be defending them/whatever it is they need the accounts to say.

Take it in good faith that the flow of free, rational information online is a dangerous thing and that it is and has been under attack for many years. If it's too obvious, it will be recognized and it's even worse than if they just didn't meddle at all. This is an example of an account that has walked carefully on that fine line since its inception.

[–]inbetweentime 6ポイント7ポイント  (10子コメント)

It's not pointless though, because I will keep raising the issue until he either proves he's worthy of moderating this sub, or is removed by the other mods of this sub for helping to sabotage /r/Wikileaks.

I think we all value this sub too much to allow it to be subverted.

Surprise, surprise, it's the microcosmic equivalent of exactly what this sub is fighting against. This is why human's can't and shouldn't hold power directly over other humans, it's why power will always be abused, and it's why we need to keep fighting, because with enough incentive, humans will always betray their comrades. It's fucked. Just like with the American election, we're always going to lose when the question is who should we elect to control us. We need to change the question to what will we do to better control ourselves. Because I don't know about you, but I am an adult and I do not need a leader, I need to be left alone and have my rights respected. Fuck leaders. Voluntaryism is the only way.

[–]MrBusBoy[S] [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

You get it man. Microcosm is bang on. Some people have not made that connection yet. If the people in power in politics are corrupt and abuse it, and the people in power in business/banking are corrupt and abuse it, why would the people in power on reddit just so happen to be so peachy in comparison? Because it's "just a website"? No, this is a pattern of human behaviour that repeats itself on all different scales.

People who seek out power are generally not great people, not the type of people you'd want making decisions for you. Yet because of their nature, they are MOST inclined to seek it out, and MOST inclined to stab anyone in the back to get what they want. This means there are FAR MORE sociopaths/narcissists in power positions in all realms that allow for advancement.

[–]MrBusBoy[S] 16ポイント17ポイント  (3子コメント)

This is why I say it's pointless. Myself and many others at the time literally watched from the sidelines for months as this whole website got taken over from the moderation perspective. I still visit because it's still an entertaining site and useful for many things, but the site is a corporate and political tool now. If you don't think this particular sub is already subverted, i dunno what to tell you. This sub has been controlled for a long long time.

As a vehicle for social opinion shaping and the like, Reddit is absolutely gold for entities with nigh-unlimited resources and time. You can make any opinion look like a popular opinion here, if you want. Anything. You can also snuff out any opinions you don't want seen. It's an extremely powerful and useful tool for those in control of it. This is a hub for worldwide discussion, where sentiments and focus extend far beyond, to other social networking sites, news sites, etc.

No, there are no "decent' mods anymore on the big or important subs. There just aren't. Logically speaking, "they" (for lack of a specific group to name) want full administrative control here. Much like "they" have full administrative control over, well, the fucking world. That means moderation as well on the subs they consider dangerous to their lines of rhetoric. In this case, wikileaks is #1 at the moment, so it should quite obviously raise eyebrows when 5-6 brand new mods are put in place there within the past few days.

[–]Sabremesh[M] 12ポイント13ポイント  (21子コメント)

Speaking as a mod, I accept that the subscribers of /r/conspiracy (of which I have been a one for many years) like to sound off at the mod team, and posts like this will often generate plenty of enthusiastic traffic.

You are entitled to your views, but I think you have gone way beyond what might be classed as good-faith, constructive criticism. I think your attack on /u/assuredlyathrowaway looks like a witch-hunt, and your derogatory comments about the mod team as a whole are unjustified.

What are you trying to achieve, exactly?

The mods of this sub will always face criticism because we allow free discussion of issues that certain people hate and/or want to close down. As far as the mod team is concerned, no conspiracy is off-limits on this sub. It is the users who decide what gets to the front page and what does not, and it will always be that way.

As has been stated many times, in the interests of transparency, all actions by the moderators of this sub (approve/remove posts or comments, ban/reinstate users etc) are available for scrutiny in the mod log - link in the sidebar. What's more, any decision by a mod can be challenged by a user, and the other mods will re-evaluate that decision.

For those who are confused by the purpose of Automoderator: this is a bot which automatically filters all comments from brand new accounts. These comments must be manually approved by a human mod before it will become visible to ordinary users. The reason for this is that this sub attracts a large number of trolls/spammers who create a throwaway account just to post drive-by insults. Automod keeps this tsunami of drivel at bay, with the drawback that genuine new accounts do get caught in the filter. If this happens, send a message to the mods to alert us, and we will approve your comment.

[–]actualzed 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

i have to agree, i don't have many mods in the green on my res, and he happens to be one of them, and i have seen him around for years... I will say however that he could shine much more light to the crap that goes on in some of the other subs he moderates, but to be fair it's possible and plausible he does it with throwaways hehe.

edit: i went to the sub to check it out and found this thread, what's not to like? Unbans (confirmed in comments by users), full transparency... if the sub was in any danger to begin with (which is still unclear seeing as the two mods resigned), it actually looks like they saved it by bringing Assuredly on the team.

Yeah.. These guys have their claws dug in deep all over Reddit man. I remember watching this whole website get subverted within months to a year, a couple/few yrs ago. It is completely run by corporate/political entities now, the big subs are modded by those interests. It went from a great forum to a great free advertising platform for corporations to literally a vehicle for social persuasion, opinion shaping, data mining etc.

Assuredlyathrowaway is not a real user, or if he is, he's just a total shitstain who censors and is not for free speech at all, he uses his position of power to promote his own perspective. Either way, he has no business being mod of /r/conspiracy and /r/wikileaks, yet there he is.

Folks, you're playing into the CTR's hands with all this FUD. It's quite clear that the Wikileaks mods brought in other mods from respectable subs like this one in order to restore their tarnished image from their original mod snafu.

[–]MrBusBoy[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

Yea... "respectable". Cause this sub wasn't subverted years ago. Cause this sub isn't the definition of controlled opposition.

It is a rudimentary step of logic to go from "Reddit, as a platform for the free and open exchange of information, is a danger to those whom are hiding important information" to "They are probably going to try to hijack that shit, so that they can control what's visible/whats being shared".

A 15 yr old kid in his moms basement can hack high profile sites, iphones, or program basic bot nets. And we're talking about all the money and the best minds and manpower in the world against the disorganized, anonymous common-folk here. Reddit was most definitely subverted years ago, this sub went with it. This is one of the most dangerous subs for them, for obvious reasons.

[–]greetingearthlings 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

Regardless of what's going on and whether various wikileaks subs/mods are compromised, this is the dream reaction from Clinton's campaign. That none of the people who could be finding the dirt in the leaks would be doing it because they're all too busy infighting and speculating about Assange.

No it isn't. The dream reaction would certainly not be that people wake up to the imminent subversion and get wise to it, forcing them to verify his safety and that the accounts aren't compromised. If that's true and it gets out, they're worse off. They would much rather do it discretely and fool everyone, but good luck doing that online.

It's important people are aware that reddit, in general, is to be taken with a grain of salt. It is highly controlled, I'm just pointing out one instance of that.

I'm not sold at all. AATA has been here for ages and in the main mods fairly and posts good content. Meanwhile the 2 or 3 users pushing this witchhunt I have never seen here before. Our sub is currently the last real bastion of free speech on Reddit. Calling for mods to step down should set alarm bells ringing for any of us long time users. I would be interested to hear what you guys have to say on this?

What is this "last bastion of free speech" being tossed around? Who says that? That's a ridiculous, outlandish, and just plain false catchphrase if I ever heard one, certainly not one that would be used by anybody rational.

What exactly makes /r/conspiracy "the last bastion of free speech" on the internet? THE INTERNET IS FUCKING HUGE MAN. There are surely METRIC SHIT TONS of websites and forums that support free exchange of information. This is a purposeful hyperbole you're using in defense of corrupt moderators. This is a hyperbole that is supposed to make people cling to the idea that all the information here is legit, but it shouldn't, no, CAN'T be trusted anywhere else. Certainly not, this is the last bastion of free speech! Seems a very good mindset to cultivate in readers if you want them eating everything on this sub up as gospel. Which is what you want to do if you're in control of it, spreading disinformation.

If anything, this website and this sub have so many eyes on it, it logically must have been very high on the list of "dangerous truth movement" sites, in the eyes of those in power. That means they started working on how to deal with this site and this sub a long time ago. And they did, and they will continue to.

Somehow, the rest fell, but this sub is immune? Do go on. I don't care if my comments are "uninspiring" to you either. You have your mind set, that's your right too.

[–]spasticbadger 2ポイント3ポイント  (4子コメント)

Your point proves itself wrong. All over Reddit we find information being suppressed and sources banned or blacklisted. Meanwhile this sub is the come-to for all of the very important information that is being released into the public sphere. Just look at our front page: Project Veritas, Voter Fraud, Green Party calling out corruption, Wikileaks etc etc. Everything we want to see, read and hear about. Meanwhile you guys are here trying to change attention onto a pathetic mod witch hunt. If you are genuine I'd get some sleep and have a re-think in the morning.

[–]MrBusBoy[S] 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

Yes, they must allow this sub to exist. From their perspective, they can't fully censor/ban a conspiracy sub, that's bloody obvious.

The best they can do is position themselves within it so that they have some manner of control over what's presented. Be that moderating, vote rigging, watering down the flow of content with flat out lies, etc etc.

If you think that's a difficult proposition on an anonymous website with instant registration, for a propaganda machine with unlimited time and resources, I again don't know what to tell you. You're not being logical in that case, so your opinion shouldn't be regarded as valuable. This sub has been and is constantly under disinfo attack, because the information shared can be dangerous to powerful people/entities. Those people/entities spend money on working against that. To claim anything else is to out yourself as either incapable of adding those simple few things up, or a shill.

[–]spasticbadger 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

You realise that accusing someone of being a shill is a bannable offence? I'm not going to report you as I couldn't really care less but someone else might. My account speaks for itself, consistent useage over many years with no cases of brigading or content manipulation and regular posts to this sub.

To address your point are you suggesting that they have full control over the sub and continue to let us post and discuss everything we want to? I certainly do not see a single shred of evidence to support that.

12 day old account telling me I'm incorrect and uninformed and that I'm not paying attention. The mod clearly states the legitimate reason for that post being removed, he also points out that unnecessary posts like that one do more damage to our sub than good. He also I might add was not AATA. More to the point I couldn't give a shit about what the admins do and say about those 2 subs, they're shitholes anyway. Our sub is miraculously working fine. The only thing that will change this is people like you managing to convince people on here that mods need removing and replacing.

what does it tell you that after 12 days on reddit I can find the lies in your bullshit platitudes

Our sub is currently the last real bastion of free speech on Reddit.

bullshit, you even make excuses for the behavior, meaning you know this isn't a free speech subreddit.

The mod clearly states the legitimate reason for that post being removed

We have to worry about how free our speech is before we are banned by the admins, per the moderator's instruction. That's living in fear, it's not free speech in the slightest

How much you want to bet I'll be banned from /r/conspiracy for my "free speech" comments????

Theres a fitting internet phrase that fits the situation here: 'Don't feed the troll'. You are attacking me with no actual point to your tirade, just bullshit this, bullshit that.

Nope, wrong again. I provided proof this subreddit is not a 'free speech' subreddit. You provided an excuse as to why our speech is censored on this subreddit. You can label this debate an "attack" if you want. Truth is you're not willing to accept anyone correcting your lies.

Edit: the commenter /u/spasticbadger knows his comments are meant to antagonize. Let's all take a moment to reflect on the rules of this subreddit. /u/spasticbadger calls me out as a 12 day old account, yet I follow the rules of this subreddit.

why is /u/spasticbadger trying to antagonize me? is it because he knows that if I call his words out I could be banned? I'd rather not play his games

[–]spasticbadger 1ポイント2ポイント  (5子コメント)

Length of account/account history is an excellent indicator of how trustworthy an account/user is. For instance your account, despite being 2 years old, only has one comment? With this limited information it is very difficult for normal users such as myself to work out whether these new users are genuine concerned people or are shady users trying to manipulate or spread dis-info.

[–]Payemback 0ポイント1ポイント  (4子コメント)

Words either stand of their own, or they dont.

And come tomorrow this account name will have no posts on it again. Why would I leave a trail of info? Why would anyone?

Info and dis-info can either be corroborated or not. I do not trust or distrust any words based solely on number of posts or time length of account.

Yes he is, it's obvious. He's on me too, however any moderately critical mind who reads our exchanges will be aware of what's going on there.

Unfortunately, spasticbadger, some people like myself are just outright better at logic than you are. And because logic favours the truth, you're kind of fucked when you get into exchanges with people like myself, because I have no problem pointing out obvious contradictions, logical fallacies, distractions.

I find it interesting that these days, asserting that someone is a shill in this sub can get you a ban. How very convenient this kind of reminder coincides with irrational antagonizing in defense of corrupt moderators... the very type of behaviour that would push someone like me to label an obvious shill a shill

[–]Orangutan 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

The same tactics were done here, act like you are under attack by the users, and you can implement all kinds of control measures. Works the same in any sub.

[–]MrBusBoy[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yep. It's very easy to confuse and deceive online, everyone knows this. It boggles my mind when people take this sub and this website at face value. Basic logic should eventually lead you to presume that it is controlled like basically all other popular media these days.

It has to look real. They have to employ tactics like the above (Claim you're under attack by your own users, ban them for demanding answers) or... posting a picture of hitler on the sidebar, with an obviously controversial documentary to boot, on a 9/11 anniversary, when 9/11 conspiracy talks are certain to arise, which leads to people thinking about conspiracies, which leads to new people visiting this sub. Which leads to people who are just maybe about to step out of their little bubble for the first time... seeing a picture of hitler on the sidebar and thinking "conspiracy theorists" are nazi apologists. It has nothing to do with the content of the doc, or the discussion about the doc, it was posted on 9/11 to deter new onlookers immediately because they aren't ready for that touchy of a subject. Yet it's the first thing they see, during a time of huge influx? Come on..

"Maybe there is some truth to these 9/11 conspiracies... wait, the fuc? Nazi apologists? Forget it, these people ARE crazy". It doesn't matter if the doc is legit, it could be 100% true. The problem is, people on the fence/newcoming "truthers" are simply not going to accept it, period. It's off-putting, that's the whole point. You can't really attack it either as I am trying to now, because again, the content could be legit, true even. You might look like you have a closed mind, I don't. Mods can defend it, saying it's a totally legitimate doc and it's right to question. But again, it's not about the doc and whether or not the content is legitimate. It's about the timing, in this case.

I mean, this is brilliant work when you observe it for what it is, albeit disgusting, it is brilliant social engineering. Every move they make like this serves multiple purposes to their benefit.

[–]BourneFighter 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Here is my hypothesis on why they do not censor as much on r/conspiracy as r/politics or r/worldnews. It is a point of legitimacy of where the info comes from. If the only subreddit saying Hillary's political team kill Americans then everyone thinks it is just a conspiracy still. So the truth is disseminated but the uninformed people don't believe. Some actually go as far as denying the truth that comes out of this subreddit simply because this is "r/conspiracy" I think some people are catching on thoughand have switched to getting their news from this subreddit. I expect the moderators to do something about this to discredit this currently great subreddit.

[–]MrBusBoy[S] 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's not censored because that would immediately out them as disinfo. They can't censor or ban or block out conspiracy forums willynilly, it's obviously going to get called out. To say "nothing really gets censored here so its all good" is a terrible argument in this case. A disinfo agent would not be able to do that in this situation, moot point.

Plus, the more insanity that flows through here, the harder it is to discern whats true and what isn't. They likely don't even touch actual truth, because how on earth are you supposed to be able to know for SURE that it's true? Theres endless theories and claims here.. You can't really tell.

I honestly have no idea man. I have only recently been visiting this sub and wikileaks again. I generally just stick to my gaming subs and kill time on Reddit now, I don't trust anything I read here anymore when it's reality were talking about. It is extremely difficult to differentiate fact from fiction anymore, I think we are all starting to recognize that.

If there's a huge push on something that seems totally irrational/unreasonable/crazy/outlandish, that you think the average critical thinking individual would be put off by, there's probably a potential it's being used for exactly that purpose. It serves multiple purposes, mainly that it floods the flow of info with trash, making it difficult to sift through and find valid posts, and simultaneously makes users here look crazy, as if that is "everyones mandate". This generally turns newcomers off at first glance.

[–]Mahat 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

The anti semetic postings started a hell of a long time ago, like, when bipolarbear0 was around. Then we had jcm and the conspiratard crew before they fractured when that sub was a meta hell. After the snowden postings we got more government tools being activated and used, as the bots became common place for flagging content. Started with business applications for online persona management firms, but when the fusion centers went online during occupy wallstreet, damage control and subversion became the norm on the web as the filters caught more keywords and it was no longer Monsanto shilling.

Some of the mods here have been put through a lot of pressure, promoted their own content, had the petty squabbles. This happens. They're human. I've been here, lurking in the shadows for years as a regular user. Aata isn't bad, nor does he censor. The rules have been enforced more in the past two years, but that's been due to the rise in disruptions and hate spam from places like is conspiracy racist baiting folks. Aata has been dramatic at times, but he isn't the cause of the stupidity around here. We had been infiltrated by the alt right two years ago when some of the racist sub's moved to voat after being shut down here. They are mostly organic, the movement was co-opted however (around Ferguson) and funded by soros, just like blm. Most of the idiots from that batch trying to make this place look bad moved on, I still see a few folks who where from the racist sub's here, but they tend to discuss things and just happen to have opinions that aren't politically correct. That's fine. The sidebar thing was poor taste, but it happened around then, when the division of an attempted race war was being instigated. Can't say I fault any one of the mods who chose to put that up at the time due to the high tensions.

Just wanted to clarify a bit about the timeline since you said you haven't really been around much.

No. I have no desire to spend hours compiling that info for you in an effort to persuade you. This is how it is in my opinion, based on my personal obseravtion. If you want to do the investigation for yourself go for it. This is my opinion, nothing more.

I remember when the sidebar was changed to flaunt an anti-semitic rhetoric documentary during a period of time where the public was beginning to wake up to conspiracy theories. The perception was beginning to change from tin foil hat lunatic, to "hey, maybe these guys were on to something". A lot of people were beginning to browse /r/conspiracy at the time. I honestly can't remember the topics of debate at the time, just that I ended up leaving this sub when I saw the standard subversion tactics being employed here as I've personally seen before. As we know now, thankfully the idea that we might have been right was investigated enough that it held, notice how you almost never hear the term conspiracy theorist anymore?

Anti-semitic fringe shitposts are huge when it comes to subversion, at least they were a couple years ago. How better to make a group of people look insane than present your uncertainty over the holocaust, nay, your PRESUMPTION that the holocaust didn't happen, as your front-page?

As I said, all I remember was this guy instantly being recognized and upvoted a lot, he was all over this sub back then and that was around the time the quality of the sub turned to shit. Now he's mod of /r/wikileaks along with 5 other new mods, during a critical time for wikileaks. It's just.... strange...

Makes finding the truth all the more sweeter from the journey to discover it.

[–]MrBusBoy[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (24子コメント)

Yes, Flytape is another certified piece of shit. This guy knows, I don't even remember what it was but it was the most outlandish, shitty, almost nazi sympathist documentary that would have made almost anybody with a right mind leave the sub and never come back, right around the time hordes of new people were deciding to take a peek here, because people were beginning to wake up to reality. Lots left, disgusted with what they perceived as the "general sentiment" of irrational anti-semitism here.

That is, NOT reasonable discussion regarding Israel and their seemingly far-reaching influence, which is fair enough. This was just outlandish, anti-semitic nonsense they had stickied to the sidebar at the time.

I have to disagree with you there, the documentary..

Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told (2013)

is a brilliant documentary that challenges the official narrative of World War 2 and all the bullshit claims made by the establishment.

The only people on reddit who seemed to have a problem with it were thought police subreddits like /r/conspiratard, /r/topmindsofreddit and /r/subredditdrama

It wasn't and isn't anti-semitic at all, that was just the tactic used to try and shut don't healthy and civil debate, a common tactic

Again, it's not about whether or not the content of the doc is true or not. It's that it was posted to deter newcomers from reading further, on a 9/11 anniversary. It was specifically put there to dissuade a temporary influx of people "on the conspiracy fence", at that time. It is one of the most offensive, outlandish ideas you could present to the average individual, they aren't even going to begin to watch the doc. Worse, they aren't even going to learn any legitimate truths on the sub either, they'll probably just leave quickly. That's exactly why it was stickied.

Think I'm thought police if you want, but posting something that bright and glaring was done for a purpose.

People were at work, and they click over to learn more about us and it's Hitler and David Duke all the way down.

I'm not, but I distinctly remember when this guy started posting on /r/conspiracy. His submissions immediately gained a lot of attention and his name was just all over the place. It was years ago, during a point where I visited this sub often.

The quality of submissions and discussion quickly dropped after I remember first seeing him, and a bunch of other new, surprisingly 'popular' and generally upvoted users show up, and I did think he was modded rather quickly, maybe I'm wrong. The only reason I'm posting this is because I noticed he was modded on /r/wikileaks recently in the midst of this craziness.
