I more or less agree with you, right up to this point! ATS is a medium of expression, an information nexus, a fairly moderated board, and without it many an important exchange of information would have been lost to us. It doesn't censor, except for profanity which makes it many times more readable, and that's the best way to bring together people of disparate views.
ATS does not censor the people but they promote the threads they want (by putting them in the heads and by adding flags and stars etc etc) and they drown the threads they want to hide to the people.
ATS is not a free media, their censorship is just a bit more subtle.

Well, woogleuk already answered the assange question, and beat me to the punch. So I'll leave that be.
My apologies for offending you. I have no agenda to push on you. My comment was based on some things you said in reference to atheists and God. If I misunderstood your comments. I stand corrected.

Dude... it's the users that award stars and flags, hence we're the ones who chose to "promote" or "drown" these threads... so I guess, yes, you're right in saying that's a form of censorship. But to say there's a conspiracy among ATS and its staff is, in my honest opinion, ridiculous. It's the people that chose what they want to flag and what they want to get seen, not the moderators and site owners (as far as I know, anyway). All threads start on the same, fair ground, and its up to us, the readers, to provide our opinions on it and either give it publicity or not.
I seriously recommend you hit the breaks on these conspiracies. I was like that once, and am really glad I realized that everyone needs to stop and think a bit in order to wrap your head around this stuff. If you don't your gonna see "conspiracy" everywhere you look and you're just going to drive yourself mad.
Take it easy, man! =)

Many people over here has adopted ATS as their "religion", they are manipulated just like the people who support the politicians are. Take a bunch of idiots, add some agents to direct the movement and they will lead the sheeple just in the place they want. They don't need necessarily to intervene, they just intervene to get the result they want. The more the people are brainwashed, the more they do not even need to intervene.
It's like the presidential elections in the so called democracies: they create the right conditions thanks to all their media (mainstream, newspapers, internet, advertisment,....) to lead the people to make the choice they want.
Ex:
With the last US presidential elections:
1- They have purposely promoted the candidacy of a total loser like Mc Cain in order to assure the victory of Obama (who was a total stranger at this time).
2- All the mainstream media have widely promoted Obama instead of Mc Cain (even the Republican channels like Fox News).
3- They have put another handicap on Mc Cain by associating with him Palin (another total loser).
How do you want the people to choose Mc Cain/Palin inspite of all of this?

Since this is bordering off topic, I'll make this my last post on this.
I said nothing about the Koran or the Bible being fairy tales. Those are your words.
And I did not say you misunderstood me. I said I might have misunderstood you.
And lastly. Who's the one with the radical agenda here? Could it be YOU?

Interestingly enough your thread made it to the front page under Current Member Picks... I'm just curious as to how this fits into the whole theory of ATS, Satan and "promoting threads" to hide the truth about WW3 and Wikileaks? Does this confirm the earlier suggestion that you are actually "a puppet for Satan" by having your thread on the front page?As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
