From Skeptic Overlord ATS

Recent politics have also raised new challenges that "old line" moderators may not even recognize.

Take the situation on ATS where there is a dedicated cadre of Brits and occasional others who argue ceaselessly on behalf of the Left in threads about American politics.

I don't need a political science degree to understand those people are agents.  Someone, somewhere, is engaging them, probably on a monetary basis, to go onto websites and push the party line.  If the Left can't find enough locals to perform that activity, they now recruit worldwide.

That kind of crap is only going to get worse.

Oh, I have no doubts there are agents over there, or "influencers". or whatever name is in vogue for that sort of being now. MfLuder and I caught a couple of CCP shills from Bureau 9, or Bureau 11, or whatever their cyber intel bureau is, several years ago, and outed them. We didn't call them out as shills, however - we just asked how the weather was in their office in Beijng, and they vanished with a POOF noise, never to be seen there again.

I do wonder who the British agents are being paid by, but given that it was a former MI6 agent who faked that whole "Russian dossier" against Trump, my rumination don't go too far. There were, and probably still are, all sorts of agents working ATS, from all sorts of countries including the good ol' USA, but there is a finesse to calling them out and shutting them up while at the same time avoiding getting mod-smacked...
