New ATS Owner [Was: ATS WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE]

I believe the new owner/s is/are already here and have been for years.
I still laugh at the 5 years I spent as the VP of a company and the employees thought I was a lowly foreman.
The real fun was the employees that tried to get me fired.

I did not fire them, as it was a lot more fun to keep them around as they wondered why I was not fired. It's been 18 years since the business shut down, and I see some of them every couple years, and they still don't know.

Regardless, it's good to see the banner at the top of AboveTopSecret.com, supporting "My Patriot Supply" today, Cyber Monday.

I think the banner more reflects your browsing habits versus being a message from ATS

I wonder if you look at the corporate manifest of mypatriotsupply.com, the clues to the new owners might be listed there?

I did a while back and I kind of like their motto

We live by this motto: “It’s Not Just Food. It’s Freedom.”
And recent events continue to teach us all how true that is.

The widespread civil unrest and power grid failures in America today is proof that the future is more uncertain than ever before. Everything from food supply chains to basic public safety are now becoming unpredictable and concerning.

That means preparedness and self-reliance are of the utmost importance – and must never be overlooked.

We believe it’s every person’s patriotic duty to achieve true independence from our world’s increasingly unstable system. We believe in fortitude, not fear.

And that’s why we’re here to help you – with the highest-quality survival products at the most reasonable prices possible. After all, when your life depends on it…

We’re always looking ahead, and finding ways to improve what we do. This means introducing new and innovative products every year – and finding more ways to give our loyal customers helpful options when it comes to preparedness and self-reliance.

We're honored to be included as a part of your preparedness plan, and look forward to working with you and your family to help achieve those goals.

It could be who is behind the new ATS owners but I can not tell for sure.

We are conspiracy believers after all,

I'm thankful that they're keeping AboveTopSecret.com as a top-quality place for (mostly) free discussion. Who they are, is not of interest to yours truly.

Sometimes I really want to know who owns us now and
then I'm afraid to know who does.

No doubt!

a reply to: mamabeth

I don’t who it/they are either. But I am reasonably sure that it is not Trump…so one down and about 7 Billion other people to go.

a reply to: Ahabstar

I was thinking along the lines of Auggie and his masonic
buddies myself.
I would have loved for the new owner to be Trump

The reality of the situation is that a change in ownership isn't like selling the ship to a new captain who picks new missions and tells the navigator and crew what their jobs are or just tears it down to build a better vessel. More like a tavern that says goodbye to the old barkeep but the keys stay behind, the doors stay open, it still serves the same drinks, the TV plays the same channels, the same pool table and deck of cards is still ready for the next game and the bathroom still desperately needs cleaning. Nobody needs to know where the keys are.

I'm thankful the new owners switched AboveTopSecret.com from "http" to "https" earlier this year. That really made posting and page transitions faster/smoother.

And the Moderators seem to be more "forgiving" now than they were 8 months ago.

Overall, 2021 was a good year for ATS user-experience, imo.

It 's a terrible and strange and wonderful time to be alive. Sometimes we are defined by our ability to adapt.*

Nice analogy.

May I add to it?

The HVAC needs replaced. The paint is peeling. The barstools are ripped.

There are wild hildabeasts taking up the pool tables and the restroom has the smell of sewage.

Oh, also the lights flicker.

Now it has been almost a year, and we have no statement from anyone, so I decided to make the first step.

I therefore announce myself to be the new owner of ATS.

Proof me wrong

I think the new owner may understand the difference between "proof" and "prove".

Obviously he does not

Dang.Its been awhile.Thank you 3 Amigos for this beautiful place.I learned so much here. This site made life interesting in the golden age of UFO’s and conspiracy on the internet.Getting old can be depressing. Seeing the things you love change or disappear is hard. Im glad this wonderful place will live on. This site is a treasure trove of information and stories.In my heart this will always be the best conspiracy site that was ever created. What a run it had. While its still going today its nothing like the old days. This place was THE place to get information. So many rabbit holes, so many fun topics. I love you ATS. Thank you.
