I have just read a report on The Guardian website. Interesting not only because of the curiosity which would have been expected of each and every
reader of the article, but especially as a member of ATS.
The article entitled 'Running Scared' can be found here:
www.guardian.co.uk...
An excerpt here:
"Bin Laden was captured long ago, Reagan's death was hushed up and the coming election has been fixed. Jonathan Raban on how the White
House's obsession with secrecy has turned America into a nation of conspiracy theorists."
The piece then goes on to include such as:
"Ashcroft, it turned out, knew no more than the rest of us. Like us, he or his flunkies passed their time surfing the net. When he told us
that evidence for his grim warning had been "corroborated on a variety of levels", did he mean anything more than that it could be found on more
than one website?"
"Just as the administration now moves in Cheney's arena of shadows, so masses of ordinary Americans are seeing themselves as self-appointed
master-spies, keeping watch on their government in the same covert way that the government supposedly keeps watch on al-Qaida."
"This is an extraordinary moment in American history. Half the country - including all the people I know best - believes it is trembling on the very
lip of outright tyranny, while the other half believes that only the Bush administration stands between it and national collapse into atheism,
socialism, black helicopters, and gay marriage."
All of which I believe could relate to ATS and it's topics very comfortably. Allow me to add one last additional quote, and perhaps most pertinent
of all:
"... we caught a rare glimpse of government Wizard-of-Ozzery at work."
ATS thread -
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Entitled "Wizard Of Oz Mind Control" and where is this thread aptly located? In the Education & Media forum.
Taking into consideration this article combined with talk recently of ATS being monitored and other suchlike, I really wonder where some of the hits
this site recieves may be coming from. Perhaps even to escalate that a quote from an ATS member may be given as evidence by security services for
justification of invasion?
Are we 'a source'?

of an essay written by the student Ibrahim al-Marashi in 2002.
