Hi everyone. My name is Oscar and I'm here because I like good books, especially spy/military thrillers. I would like to publish my own story one day. I'm also interested in technology. Now I'm focusing on AI drones, among other things. Is there a discussion where I could properly post & read about them? Thx!

Hi,
I didn't know about this group until just now and I've been on Goodreads forever!
Conspiracy theories. Yes. The first one that interested me was the one surrounding the death of Marilyn Monroe. I was in the 9th grade when I read this book (I would love it someone could tell me who wrote it) written in the style of a peeping-tom's diary. The young man apparently kept a detailed account of what was going on in her bedroom right until the time of her death and for a little while after as the investigation was on. (By the way I am a straight woman, so it was just the conspiracy that interested me)
Since then I've read everything about Monroe and everybody associated with her.

Years later, when I moved to America, I found the History Channel. That is just a wonderful place to find out hidden truths that you know exist out there. I am however on the other side of the spectrum of gullible. I watch to dispel - not inflame.

Currently reading up everything on Artificial Intelligence. Here is something interesting - "Twelve Ways AI Will Transform Health Care"

Hello everyone,

I've been interested in topics like this for a long time now. Usually writing essays and articles in politics, religion, pseudoscience and Woo-Woo. Lover of all things Fortean. Some non-fiction work can be seen at SKEPTIC magazine, American Atheists magazine and Free Inquiry magazine. Also writes on politics at the blog, Freedom Cocktail.

I also published my first novel about a year ago, "Three Condoms for Sarah" and am working on my second which involves UFOs, trying to create a new fiction on a most familiar subject.

Here's is my Goodreads author page:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Looking forward to some recommended reading and discussion on the topics listed above.

Regards,

Eric

[Owen]

Hello, my name is Owen. I may or may not exist, but I have visited the great void of nothingness at least once. I gave it three stars on Travelocity because the sheets were a bit scratchy and I found a used tissue in the garbage can.

I am an avid reader of the Fortean Times, I find the British wit very dry yet with subtle grassy undertones.

[James, Group Founder]

"I may or may not exist"

HA!

[Nima]

Hi all! I am an engineering graduate. I am fascinated with topics like politics, economic theory, environmental challenges, green technology, and governmental censorship/surveillance (and much more). I love learning and knowledge is always welcome! I visited Beijing this past summer and it opened my eyes to the sheer power and manipulation capability of the government. It was quite eerie. I don't know if this is the correct group for these kinds of things, but here I am nonetheless. :)

[Nihar]

Hi everybody!

My name is Nihar Suthar and I am a recent graduate from Cornell University, where I studied economics and management. I'm quite fascinated by behavioral economics, and specifically the motivations behind why humans make the decisions they do. I think I'll have a lot of fun in this group with the topics that are discussed! Looking forward to it :)

[Lance, Group Founder]

Thanks Fahad. Great to have you and other new members on board.

[Nicole]

Hello, I'm Nicole. I have been researching and studying many of the subjects this group presents for some time. While searching for books on the Templars I stumbled across this group in a review I was reading. Sounds like an interesting group - looking forward to discovering new topics and books on various subjects.

[Kennt]

Hello, my name is Kenneth. This is amazing group and i found a lot of thing I didn't know they exist. Am glad to be member of this group

Welcome Nicole and Kenneth.

[Adrian]

Hi, I'm Adrian. I write speculative fiction. I think this seems the perfect group for me. Thank you for the invite :-)

[Paul]

Hi all,

Thanks for the invite.

This is a group with quite diverse interests.

I guess I fit in under the "Bible" discussions. It is amusing to see a continuing discussion on the originality of the Bible. My research and writing concerns the forgotten knowledge of the Sumerians and Ancient Egyptians who predated Christianity by thousands of years and can still be found in surviving writings. Remember that Moses is said to have originated from Egypt so it should not be surprising that much of the ancient Egyptian knowledge made its way into the derivative beliefs of the Jews and Christians.

My book Awakening Higher Consciousness: Guidance from Ancient Egypt and Sumer (http://awhico.com) provides insights into the not- so-lost knowledge.

Cheers,
Paul Boudreau

Hi Paul - The Biblical discussion threads are of interest to many in this group so your feedback is welcomed.

[Pabel]

My name is Pabel I am a journalist in Southern California. I recently became interested in stories that don't get enough coverage and i figure this will be a a good place for story ideas. I look forward to being a member of this group. Thanks

[Lance, Group Founder]

Welcome Widad and Pabel...and anyone else we've overlooked of late. This group is growing so fast it’s becoming hard to keep track of new Undergrounders!

[Montzalee]

Thanks for the invite James, my name is Montzalee. I was shunned at work during 911 because I was the only one that didn't believe in the Bush lies. I believe a lot of things others don't also. I am glad to be here. The Marilyn Monroe murder is a big mystery/cover up for me.

[Scott]

Hey! My name is Scott. I'm joining this group because, while I'm skeptical of many of these topics, I find them interesting. Even if I don't end up agreeing, I try and seek out new ideas.

[Bharati]

From The Diary of Rape Survivor
This book throws light on the life of a girl. Just one incident was enough to bring a notable change in her life...something she had never thought of. Living happily with her family & friends and satisfied with even a small part of happiness that surrounded her, little did she know that something else awaited her. Struck with sudden pain and turmoil, her entire identity and quality of life changed. Through this book I have tried to describe the agony and the immense disappointment felt by the girl towards the society. The book talks about society's take on morality issues, their blind beliefs and biases, all of which proved to be detrimental for the girl. It goes on to prove that how a tragedy which is unasked for, changes the way of how people treat the girl with a new identity. The most promising part of the book is where the girl refuses to accept this identity and fights back. Her struggles and untiring efforts to change the conventional mind set is bound to set an example for everyone. What really makes the difference is the understanding that there are different degrees of success which ultimately lead to success.

I can't read stuff like that, too deep. I worked with rape victims and those that were in slave traffic market and it breaks my heart. I was just the nurse not the counselor, thank goodness. I couldn't keep a dry eye when I was with them. Sometimes they would cry and I would cry with them. I thought at first they would hate that but they didn't. We bonded well...

[Jan]

I'm from Vancouver BC Canada and am excited to find this group. I am a reader and writer, having published some tinnitus non-fiction and now working on horrific fiction currently about using human guinea pigs. I'm very interested in conspiracy theories, and am looking forward to seeing some great topics and discussions.

[ash |]

Hi. I'm Ashley. This group seems to be exactly what I am looking for. In my personal life, I keep a lot of my thoughts and opinions to myself because I have found that my family and friends are not open to thought provoking and philosophical discussions that challenge their current way of thinking or belief system. I consider myself a lifelong learner and throughout the last few years, I have felt a strange pull to open up my mind and soul in order to learn and discover more about the world we live in, and myself.

My interests are quite eclectic, and I am the type of person who loves to devour anything I can get my hands on -- and then consider and reflect what I just learned. I tend to gravitate towards the metaphysical, UFO, paranormal, US History, and fringe science. As I scrolled through the list of current topics, I was excited to see that many of them are ones that I have researched in the past. I was also very excited to see topics that were completely brand new.
