Why did you come to ATS... What's your age... I dare you?

a reply to: Rodinus

I stumbled across ATS 9 years ago whilst researching a monastery in you home land Rod.

I was hooked straight away although I was intimidated at first, I found new friends and a community that is the best on the net.

I was a mere 38 at the time so that'll make me uuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmm 47 bloody hell where did that time go ? !!!!!!!!!!!!!

If proof of community is needed as you know bro, in half an hour I leave for the airport to fly to Scotland to meet up some other members for the first time and spend the weekend at a members holiday home together.

I flew out to spend a marvellous weekend with your good self and your family. (Sorry about the snail incident)

In short ATS ROCKS

My name is J.V , im 26 years old and im from the southern part of Israel (mostly desert here).
Among other sites i read from, ATS is one of my favorite alternative information sites . Im a passionate truth seeker, and reading is one of my favorite free time activity.
My understanding of English is very good for a second language, but i dont comment because i sound retarded when speaking and writing. I find it hard to express my opinions on the different subjects (which from point of view are unique) by writing in English.
Shabat shalom to everyone

I used to live on kibbutz Lahav welcome to ATS.

What brought me here? Well at the ripe young age of 16 I entered a counter strike source game that changed my life. Some guys were typing back and forth in chat about a cabin in montana and how they were going to hide out for a while. I asked them what the whole thing was about and they just told me to search autocollisionman, he was a youtuber with videos i should watch. I watched nearly 40 hours of conspiracy videos and by the end I was sick. I cried at school thinking we were going to all be killed (by nwo for their 90% population decrease) and that the world as we knew it was ending. A teacher calmed me down and told me to investigate more, not to just believe one source. Over the past couple of years since I have been to many websites, this being one of them. During a recent discussion at work with a friend he asked me if I knew who the "Virginia Boys" were. I googled it and it lead me here. I told him everything I read from the post and he confirmed it as all correct. I then took this website as a pretty reliable source of information.

To recap; I went from a scared and paranoid 16 year old to an investigative, curious, mistrusting adult. I now have my own opinions on things such as 9/11, benghazi, nwo and many other things.

Just for your information, I am 21.

Hi Rod, I'm 37 and interested in all things occult, historical and ...hang on, is this a dating thread?

a reply to: Rodinus

I stumbled across ATS during my IT course, I had some free time so I googled UFO's, which eventually lead me here. I vaguely remember the first post I read, it had something to do with laser and scalar weapons.

That was nine years ago now, so that would make me...let's see, carry the two...just shy of 30.

It is awesome to know that there is at least one surfer here who was in Israel
the truth is universal, people are people. countries, borders and rules just keep us (the one big family we are) apart from each other

I am 52 yrs young, LOL and I have 3 adult children 2 grandkids, I am loving life now more that ever. I have been searching for answers my whole life to many mysterious things ( I could list them, but we could be here all day). I would love to see this Universe and beings go to their highest level of consciousness, whatever that is. I have high hopes for our future generations they will own this for themselves and not be controlled unfairly. Love and compassion will abound when we all figure out that we all are one and that we don't need to compete for anything. I love you all and I pray out there where non judgement is reality, take care friends.

Hahaha found my first two posts,


posted on Aug, 8 2004 @ 07:27 AM link quote reply Hello everyone, just a note to say hey and tell about myself a little. I am a realist, believe that all things happen for a reason. Nothing is impossible. I am open to any ideas, believe some and toss the rest. When the dust settles and the earth is finished it's changes then all will be wonderful and people will get along and all is well that ends well I suppose. Bless everyone and hate no one. We can all get along, can't we? Why not? - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...

posted on Aug, 8 2004 @ 08:28 AM link quote reply I was raised in Catholicism, they believe in the trinity, call it what you like. Catechism(sp?) was a nightmare and definitely fear based. I have read and researched many religions and it seems they all have some common thread, Love one another, don't harm anyone..etc..I am multireligious, if there is such a thing. I take what makes sense from all religions, the good things. Many great prophets and godlike people, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, just to name a few. Any fear based beliefs I disreguard since God, Great Spirit, The Alpha Omega, whatever you choose to call him/her, they, is loving and doesn't want to see human distruction. The Jehovah Witnesses are a "strange" group for sure, and I was part of them for three years, they helped me over some rough moments in my life and I thank them, without them where would I be right now, who knows? I left that religion cause they do demand way to much of you and they believe that the man, husband is ruler, that is what threw me over the edge. As the bible state, we are all created equal. No color or race or ethnicity is above any of the others. Can't we all just get along. Love makes the world go 'round. All you need is Love. Without it we are a lost planet. God help us all.

I've been a member since the 1970's

51. Been on for almost 4 years.

Enjoy the site, the people, the discussions.

I"m 52 and I come here and use ATS as a distraction from my health issues. If I don't distract myself, I'll ruminate upon the negative and get depressed.

I'm too gamey. You'd need more than sauce for this old bunny.

As for time travel? It's true. (there can be only one!)

I often look at the pukka as my source for inspiration. Troublesome, a prankster, a spirit that likes to poke the hornets nest and see what happens.

ATS. The cool tunes, rad cars, hot babes. . . . . what is there not to like?

I'm sorta like a Preacher, but instead of the 'Fire and Brimstone' Creed,
I be in the Lead Firin Lead as I Leave em to Bleed.

Oh Dear, why am I Here you Fear?
One Reason: To Punish em for Treason!


This ain't about Pleasin or Playin,
It's about Easin the Pain in this Plane,
Call it Rain from Squeezin the Trigger of Gain.


Man I bring the Sermon from the Barrel of El that sends em to Hell.

Phage is actually a pseudo-sentient artificial intelligence program hellbent on systematically debunking all speculative opinion across the internet. To protect its anonymity it uses different handles and avatars wherever it chooses to visit. Why do you think I was sent back from 2023?

That's right ATS Phage is basically a robot. Astounded?

Naturally it will systematically disseminate everything I've told you and, naturally, no one will believe me. Which is why I have clearance to divulge this information in the first place.

a reply to: Rodinus

I actually like and RESPECT TOTALLY and have a good old smirk to the way that "the person that you are talking about" is so "personal" when he/she/it responds to questions that "HAVE" to be debunked or not... *cough cough*...

HOWEVER... I think it is important to "REALLY" think about who is behind those responses... you never know... maybe the person who is behind that response is totally handicpped with no way of moving his/her body apart from maybe 1 or 2 fingers on the keyboard???... or even worse???... WHO KNOWS???

Could be your Sister... your Brother... one of your family members... maybe a family member of a good friend that you think you have... but do not know the whole of his/hers/they/its family history????... WHO KNOWS???

JUDGE AWAY... It it so easy when you don't take the time to consider others but just want to type angrily away on your keyboard because other people do not think the same way as you do...

Shame on many people for not having enough patience and tolerance...

Kindest respects

Don't get me twisted, now.

I love reading Phage's replies. He scares the living piss out of me but I enjoy reading.

Hopefully he doesn't take the AI gag too seriously, he's a good dude, probably.

Dammit Rod, you went and made me break the fourth wall!
