A harmless survey - please contribute.

Hello all,

I'm currently doing a little research into people's motivations & beliefs. I'm looking to gather information based upon a few simple questions.

*This survey was authorised by Springer*

There are 76,176 registered users here at ATS, and as of yesterday the estimated world population is 6,571,818,225. Here at ATS we represent 0.001159131269185401% of the population. That figure in mind, how many of us are devoted to promoting a positive change in the world? And how many of us are simply flies on the wall?

Of course we don't represent the whole 'deny ignorance' community worldwide, and are but a fraction.

My intention is to gather these details and create a report with statistics based upon my findings. It may sound a little tawdry and mundane but I have a genuine interest in this and believe the devoted amongst us would find such a report at least mildly interesting!

20. Have you or anybody close to you ever witnessed something out of the ordinary? (UFO, ghost, Bigfoot, etc…) yes several UFO's and hag syndrome episodes

21. Do you believe in Reptilians, Greys, Nordics etc? Never seen them but they may exist...have read a lot about them

23. Do you believe your country’s government is purposefully withholding information from you? Do you have reason to think this? Yes. Show me a government that is overt. They are all covert.

24. Is it fair to say that you honestly do not know what your country’s leader is up to behind closed doors? Honestly do not know but thinks he is GWB and likes to emulate him.

34. Do you believe that the NWO (New world order) is going to be implemented within the next 5 years? What ? It is already here

35. If you have one ambition in life, what is it? To remain happy with my partner and see my 3 sons succeeed in their chosen careers. I also want to be around when we find all the answers to those questions that puzzle us.

Here goes!

1. England

2. Female

3. 59

4. 2/3 months

5. Have been interested since at least 11, when I gave my RE teacher hell every lesson! Was looking for an answer to a theological question regarding 911 and came across more than I bargained for. What I discovered has changed me profoundly.

6. No religion.

7. Most definitely not if patriotism means allegiance to queen and government.

8. Would not move, love England and the English are the only people who understand my sense of humour!

9. Try and keep an open mind.

10. Definitely good.

11. Absolutely not.

12. Yes.

13. Yes, one must lead by example - you cannot change others, only yourself, however by being happy and successful in yourself others will follow your path.

14. No.

15. Some are, without doubt, inherently evil. However their numbers are far outweighed by the good.

16. Jack of all trades and master of none, although have spent my nearly half a century people watching, so I guess I'm a bit of an anthropologist. Certainly studying behaviour turns me on (particularly if the subject happens to be tall dark and highly intelligent - ooops sorry, I digress)

17. I read all apart from aircraft - boys toys! I guess nothing is ever going to top 911.

18. A story without proof is just that, a story, unless one is able to relate it to other stories or personal experience.

19. Unanswerable question as there are too many variables as I have never accepted anything on face value in my life. However if I have the opportunity to gather evidence or can relate it to other scenarios I would not dismiss it out of hand.

20. Where would you like me to start? I could write a book about it. What I do know, incontrovertibly, absolutely, unquestionably, is that for at least some humans and animals, there is a part of them which does not die - I like to think of it as their soul, their very essence.

21. I don't 'disbelieve' - I need to take the time to learn more about them.

22. The important part here is "in his power". Yes I believe Tony Blair is doing what is within his power to do. Like most figureheads the power does not necessarily lie with him.

23. Everyone in my family, including me, are still bound by the official secrets acts which we signed years and years ago. It is in the very nature of the UK Government that it will only supply information which it believes is in the public interest.

24. Not when he's behind closed doors no.

25. Nobody in the Uk is "free" - we are not citizens but "subjects" and the only human rights we have are those provided by the Magna Carter and the European Court of Human Rights - and some people here don't want to be part of Europe!!!!!

26. To be replaced by whom? Another party facing exactly the same constraints as them - seems something of a waste of taxpayers money.

27. I think they landed on the moon, I think they faked a lot of the photos.

28. Probably.

29. The jury's out on that one - I need to do more research.

30. I beg notice of this question.

31. CIA

32. No. I remember being paranoid all throughout 1984 but Big Brother didn't start till 2001.

33. Quite frankly yes. The main reason being that virtually every television drama or series here in the UK is portraying just that sort of event, far more are being shown than the brief spate of sci fi programmes in the 60's and 70's.

34. Possibly, and for the same reasons as above except substitute nwo/opus dei for aliens/ufo's.

35. My kids bought me a picture which says "If Mum ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" when I had bad depression (story of my life!) and the weight of responsibility was unbearable. So my ambition is to be happy, because I know its not just my kids, when I'm happy I do seem to make everyone around me happy - my father was just the same, so he gave me the greatest gift ever.

Cheers, Cara

Question No. 30 Did Hitler die in 1945?




Well, if so his soul lives on snuggled in someone's chair!

Cool. I am going to answer it then.

(All 35 questions are optional)

4. How long have you been a member here at ATS?

Since 7-2004, so just over two years.

5. What single incident prompted your interest in conspiracy theory, mysteries of the world, science, etc?

I distinctly recall looking at books when I was a kid that had, amoung other things, giant holes in the arctic that supposedly people had journeyed through, and the like. I had those 'time life' series of 'the unexplained' books to, and other 'bizzare history and events and ideas' type books.

7. Are you patriotic?

I'd say so.

8. If you could move to a different country (or already have), where would that be?

Canada/UK/Australia. I don't think I could spend the rest of my life having to speak another language. Perhaps its not all that difficult or frustrating, since lots of people seem to be able to do it.

9. Are you a sceptic

Yes.

, or do you ponder mysteries with an open mind?

Yes.

10. Do you consider yourself to be a ‘good’ person, or an ‘evil’ person?

Evil. Evil will allways win over good, because good is dumb.

Refer to Good and Evil for a detailed analysis on the differences between the two.

Does anyone actually need a refresher on the concepts?

11. Are the concepts of ‘good’ and ‘evil’ meaningless to you?

They have social meaning to people, so I can't say that they are meaningless. If you are asking if they are relative or absolute, then I tend to think that there are definitly situations where something evil can be seen as something good, and vice versa. BUT, I will freely admit that I actually know nothing.

12. Do you feel the need to somehow change the world? If not, skip questions 13 & 14.

Sure.

13. Is it your expressed intention to somehow change the world for the better?
14. Conversely, is it your expressed intention to change the world for the worse?

I think that everyone that sets out to change the world does it to make it better, and ends up making it 'worse'. Or more often than not, accomplishes nothing either way.

15. Is it your belief that mankind is basically ‘good’? Or are we all prone to ‘evil’ tendencies?

People do both, clearly.

16. What is your particular field of expertise? (Ufology, paranormal studies, cryptozoology, etc)

Nothing.

I am not an expert on the concept and thing of nothing, I am not expert in anything.

17. If you don’t specialise in any particular field, what do you find to be the most interesting/compelling?

? Out of what, the whole world? Or strict ATS topics? I spend a lot of time in the secret society forum, if thats what you are asking. I am also very interested in teh creationism-evolution controversy, theories about the NWO, and geo-politics.

18. Can you openly accept other’s stories without proof/evidence, or is a story without proof useless to you?

Why would something be useless if I don't accept it as true? Can't I consider a very unusual story provisionally to be little more than a story until reasonable evidence is presented for it AND think it is useful?

I don't beleive stories just because people tell them to me though, or because they seem to beleive it themselves, if that is what you are asking.

19. Where do you draw the line with the need for evidence? For example, would you say that nothing is ‘real’ until you have physically witnessed the evidence?

I'd have to consider lots of things to be un-real then. I've never seen an electron with my own eyes, but I make use of them every day.

20. Have you or anybody close to you ever witnessed something out of the ordinary? (UFO, ghost, Bigfoot, etc…)

No.

21. Do you believe in Reptilians, Greys, Nordics etc?

Insufficient data does not compute.

22. Do you believe your country’s leader is doing everything in his/her power to benefit the nation?

No.

Do you have reason to doubt this?

I beleive this because of the great power and influence of the US president, and the little that he has actually accomplished. Or given that he said there are three countries that are the ultimate axis of evil in the world today, and said this years ago, and two out of three are still around, no, he definitly isn't doing all that he can. He's playing politics, thats whats important to him. Minimally, he thinks that the country is best served by having republicans in power as much as possible, and working solely for that.

23. Do you believe your country’s government is purposefully withholding information from you?

Of course.

Do you have reason to think this?

How can a government operate without doing this?

24. Is it fair to say that you honestly do not know what your country’s leader is up to behind closed doors?

How can anyone know what another person is doing 'behind closed doors'?

25. Do you feel truly ‘free’ in your country?

America is the least free country, except for all those other countries in the world.

26. If the choice was available, would you opt to have your current government body removed from power?

Anyone trying to force the US government out of power right now should be rounded up and shot.

General ‘Classic’ Conspiracy Questions

I will be answering these based on the little that I have learned about them. IOW, sufficient evidence could easily convince me to change my mind.

27. Did America fake the 1969 moon landings?

No.

28. Did a UFO really crash in Roswell in 1947?

No.

29. Does the Dulce base actually exist?

I am not too familiar with Dulce. From what I understand, there is a military installation in the area, but there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate that there is a secret underground base with 'weird' stuff.

30. Did Adolph Hitler really die in 1945?

Yes.

31. Who really killed JFK?

Oswald. Its plausible that there were other people involved, one way or the other. But I have not seen sufficient evidence to definitively show that there were, or that Oswald didn't do anything and was just a 'patsy', the guy was a ferverent internationalist communist, JFK vowed to fight communism, anywhere and everywhere, he escalated vietnam over it and was ready to have global nuclear war to merely weaken the communists in cuba, he definitly had the motive.

32. Are you afraid of what might happen in 2012? (Natural disaster, nuclear war, etc)

Any year can have disasters. No, I do not think that the mayans were 'on to something' because their calender 'runs out' by 2012.

33. Do you expect an alien invasion (real or hoax) to happen in the near future?

No.

34. Do you believe that the NWO (New world order) is going to be implemented within the next 5 years?

Good & Evil / Right & Wrong

10. Do you consider yourself to be a ‘good’ person, or an ‘evil’ person? Refer to Good and Evil for a detailed analysis on the differences between the two.
I do not think of good or evil as a two sided coin. Good and evil is different to everyone. I just live the best person I can

11. Are the concepts of ‘good’ and ‘evil’ meaningless to you?
Yes I do think there is a good and evil but we a humans try to put it into simple statements of phase when it much more complicated.

12. Do you feel the need to somehow change the world? If not, skip questions 13 & 14.
Yes and no. I feel that first I must teach how people that there more capable than they think they are. I want people love first for most.

13. Is it your expressed intention to somehow change the world for the better?
Yes I’m not stupid though. Some people are not willing to change. So we must allow them to use their strength how they want but we have to try a guild them to do better for everyone not just them self.

14. Conversely, is it your expressed intention to change the world for the worse?
Well is some people eyes maybe yes. War will always be part of the human spirit. So we must replace it with something. A Championship of sort but it between nations over thing like resources or something stupid like that it would be a ugly site but it be better than sent million of innocent people to a foreign land to die over a selfish thing like land. In this it be regulated and in a environment that doesn’t harm the innocent. I have more to say but if you like more on the idea u2u me.

15. Is it your belief that mankind is basically ‘good’? Or are we all prone to ‘evil’ tendencies?
Both is the answer. It a delicate balance of nature to keep humans in checks but this all living things too. So of course I think it both.

Topics Of Interest

16. What is your particular field of expertise? (Ufology, paranormal studies, cryptozoology, etc)
None in my opinion.

All they all have some place in this site so no big subject is off limit as long he has a base and prove his point or raise some good questions.

Uh ufo’s and huge claims of total control or a cover up in a scale so huge.

Yes at times. But most at the time no.

Government

23. Do you believe your country’s government is purposefully withholding information from you? Do you have reason to think this?
Yes I think they are. 9/11 seem to be one of the big one. I don’t believe many theory out there. But the “official story” is far out there comparing many of the others.

Yes he doing something alright he been acting like a fool for most of his days in office!!! He definitely doing something else behind close door.

Despite it all yes but it is slowly going away I feel it and see little by little and I’m not liking it.

Yes he has done major damage to our image and spent are money like he hit the jackpot!

5. I can't pinpoint a specific incident. I have never been very trusting of authority, which led me to looking into sites like ATS.
6. Atheist-agnostic (don't believe but feel I can't know)
7. This one is difficult. I want the US to be a place where everyone can feel safe and secure, and no one has to suffer. Is that patriotic?
8. Current country of choice would be Ireland
9. Though interested in conspiracy theories, I think some are so far-fetched (if they even have a minimum basis in truth) that I'm highly skeptical. I need something concrete to make me believe - which explains by atheism.
10. Good
11. No
12. Yes, and part of the way I seek to do it is through education. I'm big on the idea of civic values.
13. Yes
14. No
15. I think mankind is mostly apathetic. Most are unlikely to be bad but also unwilling to try to make a difference.
16. No special field
17. Government cover-ups
18. I tend to need evidence
19. I don't need to physically witness something. If I did need that, I'd never believe anything. I do need something compelling.
20. I know someone who claims to have been abducted by extraterrestrials. I sometimes even hate to say this one, but sometimes I see things - either dark or light forms. It started when I was about 13 or 14 and hasn't really stopped (or not for long).
21. My belief that extraterrestrials live on Earth is something I flip-flop on. I think it's possible, but I also don't believe it's in the power of any government on Earth to cover it up.
22. I think my country's leader is only interested in lining the pockets of himself and his buddies. His policies show that he doesn't care for human life (whether in war or on the homefront).
23. I think my government is withholding information. Anyone who has seen documents released under the FoIA knows that things are kept secret. Is it really national security issues or just self-interest? Could be a bit of both.
24. I don't know what my nation's leaders do behind closed doors.
25. I think freedom is fading because we allow it to happen
26. I would love to see the current administration out. In fact, I wish we had more stringent term limits for all elected officials.
27. No
28. Not sure, but I lean in the direction of 'no'.
29. Yes
30. Yes
31. Oswald? No compelling reason for me to believe otherwise.
32. I'm not really worried about 2012.
33. No
34. No
35. Right now my ambitions are finally finishing college and spending my summer's traveling. Of course, I also want to shape the minds of my students for the better and hopefully teach them to come to decisions on their own without being told what to think.
