How and when did you first stumble across the lamented ATS?

Sometime between 2006-2007 I found ATS while researching the JFK debacle. Took me about 5 years to actually join because ‘I thought id be put on a list’. Still had the paranoia on October 4th 2011 when I finally joined. So much so, I made one post then went back into lurk mode for 6 more years. Something happened in 2017 that made me quite literally - not give a fuck anymore. Funny how so many of us were so paranoid back in those days. I can’t even imagine how fear looks like that anymore. Anyways, time to double down. More to come….

2007 working afternoons on a line in a factory outside of Detroit. There was something about being off work around 3-4 am that lead me down the rabbit holes.

Nowadays kids ain’t even gotta search and read, it’s all podcasts and videuhs!

I took a hard pause from “it all” in 2014, so missed any mention of Trump and didnt witness the decline. In my mind ATS is still out there as a resource and escape from the normies at the bar…
Also I’d like to believe ATS and the like gave me enough fortitude to withstand the stupidity of the plandemic/epstein’s dead man’s switch or whatever y’all call COVID… Cheers to that!
