Introducing, Jim Marrs and "The View From Marrs" Forum

It is with great pleasure and anticipation of fantastic things to come, that we have the honor of announcing Jim Marrs' involvement with us here on AboveTopSecret.com.

There is a very short list of serious conspiracy theorists with the talent, intelligence, and style to capture the attention of both conspiracy aficionados and the average "Joe" alike. Not only is Mr. Marrs firmly on that list, he is arguably at the top, being perhaps the only pure conspiracy theorist, dealing in topics from alien cover ups to the JFK assassination, who is also a New York Times best-selling author.

His involvement here at AboveTopSecret.com represents a cornerstone of our longer-term plans to be the epicenter of the best and brightest conspiracy speculation and shatter the boundaries of "User Generated Content" online. While he is interacting with us here, he will also be writing an upcoming book about several interesting and important threads... your interaction will undoubtedly help shape the project... and after you read the book, you can return here to ask him about what he wrote.

Ground Rules

Mr. Marrs is the first to join us in a new class of members we're calling "Conspiracy Pros." These are people who's primary source of livelihood comes from their involvement in the topics we discuss here on ATS. As you can expect, these are busy people with several overlapping projects and they will not have the time to visit us every day. So with that in mind, there are some necessary ground rules:

1) Conspiracy Professionals Are Our Honored Guests:
We anticipate our members will interact with our professional collaborators in a manner that exemplifies the best attributes of ATS and "deny ignorance" and the intelligence of our membership. We reserve the right to remove questions or comments we feel are not up to the expectations of high standards within this forum.

2) Post-Count Limitations:
We've agonized over several ways to prevent a deluge of questions and threads, from accepting applications to random drawings... and none seem fair. As a result, we've settled on a revised requirement of 250 posts for ATS members to be able to participate in the "View From Marrs" forum.

3) New Question Limitations:
We've had several conversations with Mr. Marrs, and he's a genuinely gracious and very likable guy... if he sees 50 questions, he's going to try his best to answer all 50... and that's not fair to his other responsibilities. For now, we're going to limit new questions to an average of 10-12 per week. Over time, this may change as he falls into his "ATS rhythm," but we think it's a good place to start. This includes both new threads, and follow-up questions on existing threads. And please be focused and limit your questions to just one or two per post.

These are very basic guidelines for kicking this off. We expect that any ATS member with 500 or more posts will have the wherewithal to notice the pace of the discussions in this forum and hold off on new questions if you see 10 waiting for an answer. Both we and Mr. Marrs hope that we can eventually loosen these requirements, but for now, it's a starting point.

Welcome Jim,

Looking forward to you being available for questions and your input on this great website.

I can't wait for this. Mr. Marrs is in my top 4 (the other three being the late and much lamented Tupper Saussy and Robert Anton Wilson, and William Lyne).

This more than makes up for the aborted David Icke forum by magnitudes of.... a lot.

Just when I thought I could take a break, it draaaaags me back in.

Free, people. Free stuff here. Is that beyond cool, or what? Can I get a witness?

Alien Agenda is something that I can never forget and all of my friends who have followed my advice to purchase it!, This is fantastic news. Welcome Jim Marrs!

Welcome Sir. If time allows, after the "big" requests have been met, please expand on the genesis of the "Aurora Texas 1897 sightings and reports" work you brought forward. I'm as interested in the journalistic methodology and "leg-work" as much as the actual story, others may find this informative too. Sometimes the story of getting the story is "the" story. Welcome again! Cheers and cheers!

Not many people can pull off the hat look, but Mr. Marrs can. I hope I'm as suave at his age.
