Yeah, actually this occurred to me the other day: I love ATS and have a blast being involved, and thanks to everyone for the stars, and for the one
applause I received (took forever to figure out how to trace it to its source)....BUT
Since we talk about "shadow governments" on here like it's a bad thing....I want to mention that the other day it did occur to me that the site
owners themselves run a "shadow staff" who are "invited" to be called "Writers" etc (which I consider myself anyway, with or without anyone's
recognition)!! My thought was...."Wait a minute....! Why does ATS have a 'Shadow Government' - someone watching what's going on, removing
inappropriate posts, insisting on manners and decorum, and handing out Applause....??"
unfortunately, I know why! Uh, because without it, this would be just another stupid site like (IMO) Facebook.
(Actually, as an author, I was delighted to see that my very first day I got applause!! It's always nice to be acknowledged positively!) (But OTOH, I
would rather be invited into the elite circle that DECIDES who gets applause! hint, hint, wink wink)
It is sad that overseers are a requirement when only adults are participating - but it is a necessity. In fact, if these guys (you guys) WERE going to
run, I would consider voting for them (you) - as long as they (you) exposed everything...and honestly what tipped me off that it was a 4/1 joke was
the claim that the world is going to end anyway...he he.
But then again, I have decided that voting is really just a hoax and we are all tools of TPTB. Especially after the Florida debacle with Bush's
usurpation of the presidency. Not that Gore would have been a better president - it's the principle of the thing.
What frightens me is the shadow government of our nation/globe that treats us all like we're of no consequence - "sheeple" or not, we are in a
fenced corral, kept away from what's real, and that, my friends, is worrisome indeed.
Cheers! Happy day and stay alert! Hey, if anyone figures it all out - the whole global mess - let me know!
