Timeto step in front of the curtain.....

First post. Far from last. I have spent countless hours reading posts, following threads, and arguing with myself over the ideas presented here. It took me turning 33 to finally feel like it was time for me contribute. I tend to over research everything I read. Nothing is fact until I have spent days verifying claims. I spend little time researching the informant and focus mainly on the information presented. Every false prophet got the seed from somewhere before they manipulated it into their own idea. That being said, I feel every lie has had some truth at some point. So here I am. Lets grow. Lets learn. Lets be contagious.... spread own passions like a virus.

33. An Illuminati number, the highest grade of freemasonry and the age Jesus supposedly died at. A good age. Not to die at but just generally. Welcome to the rabbit hole. See you in the burrows.

AboveTopSecret is much like a theme park with many, many rides, so with that said...
Here's a few thoughts before getting onto any one of the 1000's of topical rides at Above Top Secret, also known as ATS, the world's largest Civil & Unique Discussion Community.

*** Please be sure to be at least this tall to get on any of the rides, (Johnny stretches his arm outward), and act like an 'civil' adult. This will save you a lot of future stress, frustration and possible action by one of your friendly neighborhood Mods!

*** Please remember that some members are very passionate and vocal depending on what ride your all on. You should be mentally fit, stable and have a strong stomach for theories, conjecture, research and evidence presented that may be contrary to your own.

*** Please be "open-minded" enough to understand that sometimes the ride isn't always what you might think or expect. Be aware you also might end up learning something new and 'out-of-the-box' before you get off the ride.

*** Please note that at times the ride gets overly-heated and "it's strongly suggested" to get off the ride to regroup one's thoughts before continuing. This will also help guarantee that the ride will move forward without getting derailed or explode into a fiery trashbin.

*** Please have fun! Be aware if you act in an uncivil-like manner, use profanity, intentionally spread a hoax and/or get verbally abusive, you will be removed off the ride by a Moderator. This is for your safety, & also for those both young and old on the ride with you.

So buckle up, keep your arms within the ride's comfort zone, have fun and "Deny Ignorance"...!
