I find myself relying on ATS more and more for my news and staying in touch with what's going on in the world . As a result I fully expect ATS to be the place where I fist hear of any big news , such as a attack on Iran .
Are there others that think ATS will be the place they hear about WW3 starting ?

yes but then i wont be sure whether or not i believe it when/if i see it so then ill go read CNN

yeah they would be my second choice too lol

Yep, infact i was only talking about this 2 days ago with a friend (yep i do have ONE) as being one of my reasons for frequenting such boards.

If you look for your own news you won't need ATS. I frequent the Huffingtonpost. She is critical of both parties. If a Democrat says something stupid, it makes the front page so that everyone can see, "hey, that person said something stupid." Unlike Mike Drudge, who only nominally dabbles in such criticism.

As far as a nuclear exchange, I doubt the internet will be available. Total lock-down. They will be rounding people up, dissidents. Word of mouth will reign supreme, and knowledge of the back-roads to the mountains will be key.

with as many crazy stories that have been on here lately

i come here to read, i keep my belief system in tact

if WW3 started id just look out my window or listen to the air raid sirens

hah

i think there is alot of disinfo and just not informed enough on this site

as much as i love it, im not too open minded on everything posted

like i said i keep to my belief system and read all else and if something catched my minds eye i research it myself

i dont let youtube vids be my teacher or just cause someone made a documentary on something i dont regard it as real

I don't know about you, but I check ATS to see if the Zombie Apocalypse has begun!!!! BRAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I check cnn to see if nukes have gone off, but if they do I will check ATS next to see who, where, and why!!!

Every day, and most days several times a day.

I look more for the signs which prompt me to understand my intuition and often just finding out the information shared here is enough to calm me down.

Forinstance I get the feeling not to go swimming off shore where you later read, "Great White shark located off..."

Or heads up on fuel costs, UFO rashes, political insides, and the like. The best part is that with such a diverse group here, I can get the latest breaking from around the world, and that I LOVE.

When the earth quake was 'happening' in the UK last winter, I was in chat and experienced it with at least one MOD (asala) and countless others from around the epicenter. It was like sharing the experience.

Then when the fires in Cal. happened last year so many reports from locals kept truly abreast with the first hand information of how the people were being treated and that was an incredible time too.

If all hell breaks out you better believe I will come here first for the news.

Not only that but to lend support to my friends and family here.

it's one of the three places i check first for sure. people seem to really be on the ball here as far as breaking news. thanks too!

No, I check George Ure to see if WWIII has started yet, as well as his own personal insights.

Heck, if it were reported here first, we'd all debunk it, crying out for absolute proof and calling the mushroom clouds photos CGI!

I come to ATS because I think the people that frequent this site are on the pulse of things outside of mainstream media, and I above all, want to know what people THINK, not what they can prove.

I used to keep my tv on all day, tuned to cnn just in case but it died so, yes, now I check recent posts to see if anyone posted something about bombings,
