''[[http://www.abovetopsecret.com/ Above Top Secret]]'' (ATS) is a rather large site devoted largely to the promotion and debate over various UsefulNotes/ConspiracyTheories and contentious subjects such as homeopathic medicine, American politics, and, of course, UFO sightings. It has massively extensive forums, some of which are so [[MindScrew utterly bizarre]] it will leave you stunned. Conversely, not every post is so insane, and the site's members do indeed cover relatively mundane subjects as well. This site is a popular source of material for the website Fundies Say the Darndest Things and its spin-off, CSTDT.

* StockSuperpowers: A fair amount of threads in this website are about RealLife Examples of StockSuperpowers.

** Creator/DavidIcke and his famous conspiracy theories about TheReptilians that have replaced the world's elite can be found on ATS in great numbers. His books can even be seen amongst the site's ads sometimes.

* TheReptilians: One of the nuttier theories that can be seen here.

* TheReptilians: one of the nuttier theories that can be seen here.

* ConspiracyKitchenSink: And how! There is nothing even close to a consensus on ATS. The only thing the posters agree on is that there is a sinister plot behind absolutely everything.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Obviously.

* ArchEnemy: Some of the posters believe that rival huge conspiracy site, Prison Planet, which is run by Alex Jones, is out there to serve as a foil, or at worst is a secret disinfo agency.

* Creator/DavidIcke: David Icke and his famous conspiracy theories about TheReptilians that have replaced the world's elite can be found on ATS in great numbers. His books can even be seen amongst the site's ads sometimes.
* DirtyCommies: Liberals are often portrayed as such; quite often the [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama Obama administration]] are labeled as these.
** Back during the [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush Bush administration]], things typically ran in the opposite direction, with many accusing Bush of being a crypto-fascist (see below) and invoking common leftist arguments. A general rule is that the overall tone of the site's politics will drift towards the radical end of whichever side is ''not'' in power at the time.[[note]]And it varies by country; things can get quite fun when American right-wingers who hate Obama argue with British and Canadian left-wingers who hate [[UsefulNotes/DavidCameron Cameron]] and Harper.[[/note]] The fact that radical left-wing and right-wing conspiracy theorists tend to believe a lot of the same theories, though, means that the actual ''content'' remains largely the same more often than not.

* UsefulNotes/RonPaul: An astonishingly popular figure to the ATS posters in general. Impressive, considering that they [[CorruptPolitician distrust politicians]] just as much as they [[AliensAreBastards distrust the Pod People.]] It's probably because he's very anti-government in general, with views sympathetic to those of many conspiracy theorists'.

* AncientConspiracy: This is a great place to find RealLife examples of people that honestly believe that the Illuminati, Rockefellers, Freemasons, Jews or whatnot control the world. Some of their AncientAliens conspiracies also qualify.

* GodwinsLaw: Even more so than other forum-based sites. Godwin's Law is just as pervaisive, if not more so, than the DirtyCommies accusations.
