Hello.

Hello, I am here to learn more about the world around me. I have learned many things in the last 6 months, and I feel like I have started something that makes so much sense and not, because these are topics that I can't talk to just anybody about without them thinking that I am crazy. The world is so much more than what we are made to believe.

well hello mctruth. i'd like to say you came to the right place, but i can't. you'll have to sift through a lot of disinfo here, but with that said, this is a great place to start. you'll find a lot of things to ponder here and many many like-minded people to ponder them with. just be careful not to believe anything too stringently, lest ye be wrong! but i'm sure if you look around enough and read enough, you'll learn that most of what you already know is wrong. lol. welcome!

AboveTopSecret is much like a theme park with many, many rides, 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 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 on. Before getting on a ride, you should be mentally fit, emotionally 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. At times, you may learn something new and 'out-of-the-box' before you get off the ride, this is a natural and normal phenomena.

*** 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"...!

Welcome to ATS! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have these many years! Keep an open mind, but not so open your brains fall out...lol!

Welcome to the mother ship.
