Conservapedia and deceit
By general consensus on such respected forums as Conservapedia, deceit may be understood as the promotion of any rationally based argument that conflicts with the webmaster's opinions. Thus, the most effective weapon against deceit is the use of techniques that divert an opponent's attention away from the facts in a well-intentioned attempt to squeeze in subjective arguments favorable to the webmaster's own political agenda. The correlation between deceit and liberalism is always at least 95%.

Conservapedia writes: "Conservatives teach that deceit is wrong. Liberals do not teach that deceit is wrong.

This is one of Andy Schlafly's favorite contentions. He has gone to great lengths to preserve this argument against outside influence, going so far as to frequently redefine the meaning of "deceit" to avoid any creationist or conservative being labeled as deceitful.

The Project
It is in the interests of RationalWiki to be upfront, and open to discussion, about even our (kind of exciting) covert operations. We like to remain apprised of goings-on on Conservapedia, and where our own sockpuppets ("Covert," below) fail, our undercover Agents often come through. This Project allows us to have a fresh source of things to mock, sometimes before it hits the Conservapedia "presses." Our Agents have many motivations, all of them personal, and not all of them friendly to RationalWiki. But they enjoy playing the looking-glass game, and helping select members.

This Project is also testament to two important facts:
 * 1) Conservatives are capable of deceit, and,
 * 2) The more users that Andy Schlafly attempts to dominate, "the more will slip through his fingers," to paraphrase Princess Leia.

The Participants

 * AmesG: runner for several deep cover agents.
 * RobS: an anonymous source tips several RationalWiki users off to sysop goings-on, obtained through access to RobS' inbox, we presume? RationalWiki members know little about this project's dynamics, but are happy beneficiaries.
 * User:Redcoat: This user runs a sock on CP that looks, sounds, and even spells like an Idiot!
 * Agents X: a disgruntled, named Conservapedia sysop providing back-information to RationalWiki members.
 * Cover A: a RationalWiki member in a trusted non-sysop location on Conservapedia.
 * Cover B: a RationalWiki member in a trusted non-sysop location on Conservapedia.
 * Cover C: a RationalWiki member in a trusted non-sysop location on Conservapedia.

How Can I Help?
Feel free to help! Register on Conservapedia and pretend to be a young-earth creationist. Please, though, use a unique non-proxy IP if you can, and try not to be from one of the Forbidden Zones. Then, work yourself into Andy's good graces. Creating stubs is a good way to go. Accuracy is a little less important. Someday you'll be invited into the inner circle. That's when you call us. Or, call us before, in case you need the help of Agents "X" to ensure that you remain trusted, or become trusted.
