Two-part series reveals collusion of /r/conspiracy moderators, /r/coontown moderators, anti-"conspiracy theory" moderators, and Reddit administrators
38 2015-07-10 by PIArecruiter
The following two-part series (more coming soon) provides conclusive evidence that:
A. multiple moderators of /r/conspiracy are colluding with the moderators of extremely racist and sexist subreddits as well as the moderators of subreddits which openly mock and ridicule "conspiracy theorists."
B. the administrators of Reddit are implicated in this collusion
Interwoven throughout this series is an extensive discussion of "shilling" as it pertains to reddit.
BACKGROUND: Reddit & Information Warfare: An Introduction
As one of the /r/conspiracy moderators called out in the first part of this series (/u/assuredlyathrowaway) is also a moderator of /v/conspiracy at voat.co, switching to /v/conspiracy will not solve this problem (leaving aside voat's relationship with Google for now).
I've created a subreddit for discussing these matters further, and a community alternative to /r/conspiracy, as the problems with the /r/conspiracy mod-team are quite serious and we need to do something about it.
Feel free to join me at /r/publicdiscourse to talk about this further. I'm not saying we need to abandon /r/conspiracy; we do need another place to organize and talk about these things which is not under the influence of the moderators in question.

Thank you. I'm only through the background link so far, but this is important stuff. I really hope it doesn't get deleted.
Edit: finished reading it. Thanks again, appreciate the thoroughness and the documentation. Keep it up!

This is just another attack on flytape, who the zionists want removed. Please don't fall for it.

tldr - mods have posted in subs that racist mods have posted in. 6 degrees of separation.

Flytape has the zionists back 100% and bullies users who call out obvious Zionist sociopaths

Source?
1 unicornghost6969 2015-07-10
You are the source silly!
Edit: apparently flytape doesn't understand that his constant distractions are the examples of I speak of.

Mmkay? So how am I "backed by Zionist"?

So my vape is proof that I'm backed by the Zionist?

In my opinion, the huge problem before us here is - now no matter how great Flytape is, he is tainted with so many scandals just having him as a mod creates massive disruption in /r/conspiracy. (as we can all see with our own eyes over the past few days with numerous threads and thousands of comments dedicated to this debacle)
Let's do a summary/ELI5
1) An "official podcast" was released on Friday night by AssuredlyAThrowAway and the first guest was Flytape
He was wearing a weird mask
He was smoking a vape-pen
He had a trippy shifting background animation
The Podcast lasted a few hours
2) Flytape bans people who are in uproar about this performance
The users were mad because no one consulted with them properly and timely before the announcement of the podcast
They were mad that the podcast was being used as an "official" representation of /r/conspiracy by AssuredlyAThrowAway on YouTube
They thought Flytape was pushing hitler memes
3) Mr_dong comes in later due to UK timezone differential and removes the Podcast sticky due to the community uproar
4) The story feed has multiple threads blowing up discussing the incident
SRD crossposts the thread and it goes viral
memes are created by users on reddit "justconspiracythings" with flytape's mask/vape-pen
5) Mr_dong comes back with an announcement that countless users have complained about the situation and he looked into it more.
He finds that the podcast should not have been "official"
He finds that Flytape was banning people who did nothing wrong
He finds that the conflict is so divisive that the only way to resolve it is to remove Flytape for the overall community's benefit, even though some mods disagreed.
6) The next day Flytape posts an apology thread
He magically appears on mod list again
He deletes his thread after a poor response by subscribers
People start posting about the deleted thread and reinstatement
7) SovereignMan posts an announcement thread
The mods had a vote behind the scenes
It was an 80% - 20% victory for flytape
The votes will be kept in secret
8) /r/conspiracy explodes in dissent
Multiple threads with hundreds of combined comments
People accusing others of being shills from SRD with no evidence
People asking for transparency in the vote
People complaining that Flytape abused his powers too many times
No matter how great Flytape is or can be, he is tainted with so many scandals just having him as a mod creates massive disruption in /r/conspiracy.
This isn't his first chance, right???
But that's just my observation.

What does this post by dishonestcartooNIST have to do with me being backed by Zionist?
Obviously its not hard to find people who don't like me and say bad things about me. But your claim, was that I'm backed by Zionist.
Support your claim or fuck off.
2 unicornghost6969 2015-07-10
Everything. Obfuscate better next time.
3 Flytape 2015-07-10
So then... nothing at all? Just looking for an excuse to stir the drama pot more?
Well here we are, this is your official warning.
Rule 10 states,
And I can see from your posting history that you do this quite often. My advice would be to focus on subjects that you support like AE911TRUTH and stop attacking people for subjects you don't support. Any future incidents of you attacking users or mods, will absolutely result in a ban.
You've been warned. Have a great day.
1 unicornghost6969 2015-07-10
Rule 10 only applies to me huh?
1 Flytape 2015-07-10
Is telling you to support your claim or fuck off, attacking your character somehow?
No its not. Rule 10 doesn't say no curse words. It says.
You're accusing me of being a Zionist shill, I told you to support that accusation or fuck off. I gave you the benefit of the doubt that maybe you actually had something that erroneously lead you to believe this statement. But basically you're just attacking people who don't believe your flavor of 9-11 truth. Which is very typical of the AE911TRUTH movement. All the people they fired and banned for daring to talk about other 911 theories.
There are actually some good interviews out there with former AE911TRUTH employees who witnessed all the corruption within the movement. Like Mr. Gage touring Europe with his lady friend on the funds collected from donors to AE911TRUTH. But don't worry he did a 1 hour speaking engagement somewhere along the way.
2 unicornghost6969 2015-07-10
Where? Kindly link to your claim or fuck off

I'm attacking disinformation, which has nothing to do with my flavor of 9-11 truth
You're accusing me of "attacking people who don't believe your flavor of 9-11 truth," I told you to support that accusation or fuck off. I gave you the benefit of the doubt that maybe you actually had something that erroneously lead you to believe this statement. But basically you're just attacking people. Which is very typical of you, flytape.
So then... nothing at all? Just looking for an excuse to stir the drama pot more?
Well here we are, this is your official warning flytape.
And I can see from your posting history that you do this quite often.
The golden rule should apply in this situation. Does it? I suppose I'll find out shortly.
1 Flytape 2015-07-10
I just provided multiple links showing how you attack anyone who wants to discuss Judy woods. you do it regularly.
If I hadn't had any links to provide your mocking paraphrase of my previous comment would have been a home run hit. Unfortunately I did have links and everyone can see them for themselves.
I'm done with this conversation, your warning stands.
Have a great day.
2 unicornghost6969 2015-07-10
That's your claim. Then you move the goalposts with:
Why do you have to be dishonest in your attempts to warn/ban me? More proof you're part of the problem, not the solution. Just looking for an excuse to stir the drama pot more?
I'm not through with this conversation by damn sight. Cheers good buddy!
1 Flytape 2015-07-10
That's a shame, you were a lot cooler when you focused on subjects you wanted to talk about instead of subjects you wanted everyone to stop talking about.
https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/25f12k/nists_fraudulent_report_exposed_by_using_simple/
You won't last long with this new attitude.
2 unicornghost6969 2015-07-10
1 Flytape 2015-07-10
I haven't been dishonest and there is no attempt... to warn/ban you.
You have been warned and are expected to follow the rules going forward. You're really just testing my resolve at this point. I'm being very patient with you thus far and I would appreciate if you would stop arguing about this warning and move forward without further production.
Things you need to recognize right now.
You have been warned... officially.
You will be banned... if you don't stop.
All these other imaginary things you're trying to stand on here don't matter. You've had like 12 different posts violating rule 10 be removed by at least 3 different mods. I'm warning you in an attempt to preserve your ability to post here, you seem to be doing everything in your power to get banned.
2 unicornghost6969 2015-07-10
.
Don't stop what, talking to you? Let me know before you ban me, as this is a question because your statement is too vague to make heads or tails out of.
1 Flytape 2015-07-10
If you don't stop attacking people.
2 unicornghost6969 2015-07-10
I attacked disinformation.
Why does it bother you so much that I've tore Judy Wood disciples a new asshole?
Edit: I've been banned for attacking disinformation, which flytape claims is attacking people. Unless you're Judy Wood herself flytape, you don't have a leg to stand on for this ban.
1 TheGhostOfDusty 2015-07-10
Good. Take your naked hostility elsewhere.
1 unicornghost6969 2015-07-10
I've reported other users doing the same. Once the mod team decides to take no action I then dish out that which is allowed to be said to me.
I'm playing by your loose rules. Be consistent, and that includes saying fuck off to a user while accusing them of rule 10 violations.
E: Of course this is not meant as an attack. Please don't misconstrue my words.
Cheers good buddy.
1 ZombieEconomie 2015-07-10
lol... Flytape and his friends go around saying the typical anti-zionist things that are unfalsifiable. Like saying Israel shouldn't drop bombs on the palestinians.
Then they go on to "debunk" things like the beheadings which are sourced back to the SITE intelligence group that is run by the daughter of a former mossad agent, Rita Katz and the american jewish world service through Ruth Messinger.
go to /r/LimitedHangouts to read more about this and how he coordinates with others to silence dissent.
6 apottedficus 2015-07-10
Admittedly, I only skimmed parts that didn't seem particularly relevant, but is there anything other than "guilty by association" (or "guilty by a few degrees of separation from association")?
Where's the hard evidence, the proof, the smoking gun?
0 peterson2004 2015-07-10
There isn't any, it's just another conspiratard driven post to rile people up against the mods. Please treat this as a fart in the wind.
1 ZombieEconomie 2015-07-10
I hate the conspiratards... I am not one of them. You can read a few threads about what Flytape does on /r/LimitedHangouts .
Nobody on reddit has done a more thorough job of controlling the conversation and discrediting the sub than he has.
6 TomHanks94 2015-07-10
Glad someone is doing something about the blatant corruption of r/conspiracy. Hopefully this doesn't get deleted.
1 axolotl_peyotl 2015-07-10
Why? It's important to see the lengths people will go to in an attempt to push such drivel.
1 TheGhostOfDusty 2015-07-10
I especially like how this smear-monger with his multiple brand new accounts (some of which are now shadowbanned, presumably for double-voting) is trying to push 'LimitedHangouts', a sub which you moderate.
1 axolotl_peyotl 2015-07-10
I'd forgotten, tbh. I've never done a single mod activity there.

3 lolurwack 2015-07-10
long time member of this community via various vehicles, handles etc.
not a fan of your work tbh, we already know reddit is full of collusion. just because you deem something racist or sexist doesn't mean it doesn't belong in /r/conspiracy either. many of the belief systems mainstream society has been indoctrinated to believe are flat out fallacies, like the fact women don't have equal rights or make less money for example.
2 _Ben_Garrison_ 2015-07-10
What does /r/coontown have to do with conspiracies?
1 TheGhostOfDusty 2015-07-10
Why do you obsessively smear the libertarian cartoonist Ben Garrison? An agenda?
2 joe-murray 2015-07-10
The first article was very interesting and (imo) highly important for the average redditor to read. The other two seemed to lack a purpose or conclusion -- what exactly is the problem here? And what does /r/coontown have to do with any of this? I thought it was just a racist subreddit, not one with corporate shills.
1 ZombieEconomie 2015-07-10
This has been going on for hundreds of years:

Good work
Also check out /r/limitedhangouts
This sub is definitely compromised, there is good information on it, but lots of extreme sociopaths on the clock here doing what they are paid for
1 alllie 2015-07-10
You haven't participated much on reddit or /r/conspiracy. Either you're using a secondary account or are making stuff up.
1 AlwaysTurning 2015-07-10
While I don't know who is doing it, there is clearly an attempt to make conspiracy look racist, or a genuine and pathetic attempt to actually push racism. This sub used to be exponentially better without these low iq bigots posting absolute shit all day. They have invaded very effectively, I'll give them that. I just wish they'd realize they won't convert anyone to their way of thinking. Its something you're raised into because no one would ever reach those conclusions through critically thinking on their own. The world is growing out of that separatist thinking.
