Title: Waves of Threadsters? A Conspiracy Theory by Sparky
Post by: Major Carrales on July 02, 2007, 02:14:03 AM
OK...something is going on here.  Now, take a look at this...

(http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p114/MajorCarrales/Untitled-1.jpg)


I often check this to see who is responding to which threads to get a feel for what we will be discussing and debatings in any given hour.  Notice someting?

Look at all the "guests" looking at the topic "Photo ID?"  Coincidence? ;)

This has occured some five times this week...two times today.

Now, the questions?

Who are these people?  National Board?  Region Gurus?  Enemies of CAP?  ???

Let the speculation begin!!!

By the way "guests,"  I'm on to YOU! >:D

Explain more fully?  Do you mean today the site was under attack?  And, if so, by whom?

Not all "bot's" are attacks.  Many search engines will have bot's crawling through the web recording data.  They are able to serve up results because they looked at a website and saw it had the words "civil+air+patrol+boonies" on a page.

Curious...should I then assume that these search engines woudl "ping" the site at a certain time each day?

So you are saying then that members of the leadership are ordering these bots to monitor the activities of people like myself, and other members of the pro-boonie CAP sub-culture and if so, sir, how long has this covert surveillance been occurring and if you knew that such surveillance was possible and is known to occur, why has it taken you so long to come forward? Lets get to the heart of this: are you now, or have you ever been pro-boonie? Can you provide the names of anyone you know who is now or ever has been pro-boonie? Can you provide the names of pro-boonie organizations? And if you cannot, why not? And if you can, why do you have intimate working knowledge of such organizations?

Any of the following Star Trek: The Original Series androids get Sparky's "seal of approval!"

Note: Dr. McCoy is not one of my choices...he's merely "inspecting" the goods!!!  That is likey why he is known as "Bones."

These two were played by twins, so there is more than one...in case you should like to share...
