Hi

You may be informed about Open Society Institute , wikileak , Facebook , twitter + the center of attention George Soros.

There are proofs that he has been funding WikiLeaks and is a main supporter of Open Society Institute which controls and helps Facebook.

WikiLeaks will cause anarchy and Facebook , twitter are going to help those manipulated people to be organized for protests.

Wikileaks Exposed - The man behind the NWO Curtain

George Soros Plans 2 NWO Events

So , those websites or social networks are not made for god sake. There is a purpose behind every thing

So my question is :

Who is running ATS ?

What is their main purpose ?

Who is running your account?
What is your main purpose on this site?

See, can work both ways.

My personal opinion is that there isn't an agenda on Ats. I find that there's a lot of people with different beliefs in various different subjects.

If Ats is controlled by say, Soros, what would be the purpose of that?
Like I said I dont see any agenda on Ats, no political agenda, nothing like that.
So IF Ats was a powers that be site, it would only be for disinformation?

We all get paranoid from time to time and this topic has been debated quite a bit on Ats also I think.
Most of us here are into conspiracies if not we would not be here. I think your question has crossed everyones mind but let me tell you, I have made a few friends here and like the site very much.

I dont see Ats being a tool for the powers that be, that's just me though, my little evaluation.

Good question but I have not spend my money to start a website with different services for people who do me no favor. There are infra-structures and much money is spent to run this side.

could be true, but there should be some proofs to say that.

Me too. but I prefer to know better this site and it's owners .

ATS is a "user generated content" site.

The members place content on here.

The revenue needed to operate this site is generated by the advertisements placed here.

If you don't know this,the ads you may see are different than the ones others see.

It is determined by your IP address and the ads are targeted toward you.

Any disinfo you believe is on here is being placed there by other members.

From ATS for journalists

Our CEO, Bill Irvine, is the former digital ad-agency Internet guru and social-content fanatic that makes most of what happens on the web site possible. For general conspiracy-related, Internet technology, user-generated content, and social media questions, Bill is your go-to person.

Our COO, Mark Allin, is the former finance industry insider (don't ask him about Madoff), who spearheaded the organization of The Above Network, LLC., which is our business entity. Questions related to extraterrestrials, UFO sightings, paranormal, and anything related to our business should head Mark's way.

Our CFO, Stephen Melzer, is a veteran of start-up financing and finding those pesky angel investors. He's been known to have a pretty keen take on the increasing popularity of conspiracies in the financial industry, so those and related questions about our business should be directed to Stephen.

From The Above Network, LLC Celebrates Ten Years In Business, and Announces Completion Of First Round Equity Capitalization, Targeting The Expansion Of www.Abovetopsecret.Com

NEW YORK, July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- In conjunction with its tenth anniversary, The Above Network, the creators of AboveTopSecret.com, the leading source of serious discussion in the "alternative" category with
over 3.25 million posts to date, announced today the completion of first-round equity capitalization. The undisclosed six-figure funding amount was provided by a private investment group attracted by the
user-centric ideals of The Above Network and free expression advocacy of AboveTopSecret.com (ATS), the arm of the conglomerate where the expansion effort is targeted.
According to big-boards.com, ATS is one of the top-20 most popular "discussion boards," with more than 6 million page-views and more than 650,000 unique visitors every month. And with more than 110,000 members and counting, the content keeps growing at a pace of more than 2,500 new "posts" every day.
The funding for the equity capitalization plan is earmarked for the expansion of ATS through improved infrastructure and promotion, including the assignment of a PR firm, national offline and online advertising, as
well as new content development, such as the launch of the company's internet podcast show, ATS MIX, which stars the counter-culture radio legend Dave Rabbit and Johnny Anonymous. Along with the radio initiative,
the company is expanding the website reach, and attracting top-tier content providers. Says Partner, Community Director and CEO Bill Irvine, "Since 2003-when we first began expanding our business-we've enjoyed steady growth, which we attribute to our strict requirements of polite decorum and officially
agnostic editorial stance."
ATS was originally formed in 1997 by Simon Gray of Swindon, England as an early source of speculative content on unusual technologies, secret aerospace projects, and UFO sightings. Simon was later joined by online content expert, CEO Bill Irvine, and business start-up specialist, COO Mark Allin, as they formed The Above Network, LLC. ATS is currently the leading source of mature discussion and speculative theories about a wide variety of "alternative topics" that range from aliens and UFO's to fascinating conspiracy theories. The new venture is focused on multi-channel expansion of what they're calling "User-Generated Content Ecosystems," beginning with AboveTopSecret.com and its sister sites: AbovePolitics.com and BelowTopSecret.com

From Major News Regarding The Above Network and AboveTopSecret.com

We knew this announcement would likely inspire new episodes of "drama" and doubt, but throughout our history we've been very transparent and this is no time to change. Deals like this take time, and we've been crafting business plans and strategies since December of 2006... and we've been in discussions with our ultimate investors since late March. If you've noticed any "policy changes" in that time that might appear to be catered to the type of people you fear being involved with ATS... let me know! 'cause... I can't think of any.

It's clear for me that running big social networks such as ATS needs much money to establish and maintain . We will need software programmers , security providers , infra-structures - i.e lots of hard drives and switches + other hardwares , moderators , news reporters , etc.

a : So , it will afford much money.

b: question : Who has much money in this world ?? Answer : The people who play by the rules to get rich. The rules are made bu the rich.

c : Getting rich is far away from being idealistic.

conclusion :

Why is a rich guy paying his money to help people live idealistically ?

Any answer ?

Unlike other sites you claim are used as tools for the NWO, ATS is all member generated content, therefore, by sheer definition, its membership can't have a defined agenda.

It's the varied opinions of thousands of members.


could be true, but there should be some proofs to say that.


You mean like using their actual faces in their avatars?
(well, more to proof of who they are)...


1.There are some suspicious matters about banned members.


Most such members ban themselves in U2Us with the staff....and as such, the membership at large often isn't privy to all of the events leading up to a ban. This is why as a rule, we don't discuss banned members. The ONLY result is board drama that nobody wants.

Thank you for replying.Could you answer these questions ?


1.Why is a rich guy paying his money to help people live idealistically ?

2.

I don't think that showing some pictures in this virtual place is going to help others know them better. I mean , there is not much facts about them in the internet.

3.What is your idea about this ?
Is the ATS forum COINTELPRO?


Knowledge is power and because it is the number one conspiracy site, well TPTB had to infiltrate and screw with it.
Again, knowledge and unity is power. TPTB keep us conspiracy theorists divided and disunified because if we were collectively unified we might stand a chance as to being able to really figure out what is going on



Now I understand why the hottest topics on ATS are Lady Ga Ga and the Royal Wedding! The only thing secret there is the reason so many idiots keep posting such drivel


4.

How Bill banned me and several others Monday morning, January 28, 2008.

How Bill hammered me all day about posting fabricated "quotes"

How he (Bill) and several mods diligently searched for and could not find the "quotes" I posted. (later they did but in an email to me Bill he blows me off.)

Exposing who made the "quotes".

Exposing who "edited" the "quotes" later.

Exposing who lied about 'editing' the "quotes".

Exposing the agreement to cover-up the fiasco.
