Hello to everyone on ATS (both lurking and active)!
I have taken the name “Mr Mask” for various reasons and hope it doesn’t make eyes roll instantly.
I didn’t choose the name in hopes to invoke mystery or a cloak-n-dagger feel to those reading this now. I took the name simply because I make masks
as a hobby and It “feels right” having my title here reflect that in some way.
I am writing this to introduce myself (as one should do once entering any den).
Here goes…
I’ve been very interested in many of the topics discussed on these boards for a very long time. I assume it all started in the early 90’s reading
“Behold A Pale Horse” in highschool and it has never stopped from there.
Like many people across the globe, a creeping paranoia has grown rock solid in my heart and mind in thinking “not everything is as THEY want us to
see it”. Like many more, I am surrounded with friends and family who wave off any speculation on subjects that touch on anything not mainstream or
fluff.
Some of my friends say I am obsessed with searching for answers to my questions. I don’t mind that.
I spend a lot of time reading various articles and websites that seek to answer the sort of questions I have. This site has been a favorite of mine
for almost two years. ATS has been the best “conspiracy site” I have found and now I am joining it officially.
Here’s three details I feel are important to share with anyone interested in reading (or replying to) anything I write on this website.
1-I wanted to join this site many months ago. But due to paranoia I never did. But now I think everything is collapsing around the entire human
race…and "now" I don’t care who tags, flags or bags me using a site like this. The world is waking up to smell the coffee and the years of
feeling "alone on this" are over.
2-I see a lot of hostile people looking to destroy or dismantle people’s posts here with little respect for the feelings of the OP. I will not be
part of such behavior. I am someone who feels very “at peace” with peace.
3-I can’t spell. I have flaws. I make mistakes and owe up to them as often as I can. I won’t be posting often so you won’t have to suffer much
from my endless rambling or meandering thought processes.
With that all said…I would like to end this with saying-
THANK YOU ATS for the standards you present and maintain.
THANK YOU superior posters who almost ALWAYS get the info in the end.
After reading your intro, I almost feel that I should apologize for being a lesser lifeform. But... being that as it may (or not), welcome to ATS, Mr.
Mask and remember: any small measure of perfection is often not so much in what you say, but in what you mean when you say it
Im glad you found ATS and I hope you have fun here.
From reading your description about paranoia I would like to offer you one piece of advice. You will start to see more of what you focus on in life
and especially on ATS. As a new member I started to focus on a lot of doom and gloom threads but eventually found that all it was doing was making me
more paranoid and filled with fear. There is no harm in looking, but becoming attached and feeding your fears will not help you in anyway.
There are a bunch of members here who focus on the good and the betterment of humanity. Remember you will start to see more of what you focus on in
your everyday life. If you constantly read about and think about the world coming to a brutal end, you will start to see and feel this in your
everyday life. It is a choice so choose wisely my friend.
