I just got fired from my contracted “surveying” job for leaking info on who is watching Jow Forums
The job was just for fun (I’m finanncially stable on my own, I liked on my interview) but I mainly joined to see if they were researching pol (I assumed they would be) and what they knew
I was fired because I was given a memo on what they were looking for, and it included their budget for the project as part of the background. Little did I know that everyone got a different number for that budget, and I stupidly posted the number so they knew it was me.
So sadly the most of a conclusion I could get you is that they are still VERY nervous about pol, enough that they clearly had a security expert devise traps and whatnot to root out moles. They’re taking a very hands off approach (they said we aren’t allowed to post, just record info and tag threads), but it’s like they are worried about who/what we might influence next. One subject that got a lot of tagging was the yellow jacket thing (there were tags for just about every related word you could think of for that)
What's to stop these thinktanks from doing AMAs here on Jow Forums? If they're really so worried, why not just stop by and make a thread. Hell, the mods might even sticky it to get more people involved. Might be fun.

>I just got fired from my contracted “surveying” job for leaking info on who is watching Jow Forums What did you think was gonna happen, dummy.
>The job was just for fun (I’m finanncially stable on my own, I liked on my interview) but I mainly joined to see if they were researching pol (I assumed they would be) and what they knew They've no doubt blacklisted you so expect things to get worse once word spreads from mouth to mouth like herpes.

They'd be called fake and gay or LARP, duh. It's not like other rivals won't do it either. Literally nobody can out themselves here because it's all a shitfest.

Also what makes you think Jow Forums itself isn't an unwitting Think Tank? It's all very meta.
Lucas Cook
That's exactly the point. Since this place is a shitfest; why take it seriously? Thinktanks are designed to steer public opinion in a certain direction, Jow Forums is not a place where that can be done. how much money would they be losing if they stopped giving a shit about us? Not much. As the old saying goes: You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

It's the perfect place to fine tune and train.

Jow Forums is only meta by todays context. Saying racist and rude things on the internet is cathartic only because we live in a society where free expression is frowned upon. That IS the joke; whether or not some people actually believe it. Libs get shit on as much as neonazis here, which is good; it helps keep things in perspective.
Tyler Cox
Still it's the perfect place to train. Remember Q user and how it started.
Evan Taylor
Or if we want to go really back into the past to old /b/, anonymous which wasn't even a hacker group initially but just a meme.
