After seeing other threads in which people talk about waking up in the comments, I thought I’d make a post on just that. Would be interesting to see each members story on here and see if a particular event woke you up. Here’s mine:
I used to think that the government officials were just stupid and needed to be shown things in order to operate more efficiently. I used to think that in general, most of them wanted what was best for this country and it’s citizens. Boy was I wrong.
Back in the late 90’s I believe, I attended a second amendment sisters rally. It was a counter rally to the million mom march in DC that day. A friend and I held up a huge sign all day that read “Criminals love gun control, it gives them a safe work environment “ After the rally we all marched down towards the MMM rally with them heckling us all the way. I encountered some very deranged women that day who held no value over their own lives. I literally tried to have a conversation with a woman who said she would rather be raped and killed herself than to have her neighbor defend her with a firearm. I was literally stunned by this statement and speechless. I knew our conversation was over at that point.
What changed me that day though was that I was handed a libertarian newspaper by someone. One of the main articles exposed the inside connection to the Oklahoma City bombing and why it was done. When I read the details of that story a light bulb went off in my head and I had a paradigm shift. From that day on I knew most of our government hates us, wants to destroy our livelihood and freedom, and has nothing but contempt for us. From then on I researched all I could and became more awake everyday. I know I would have eventually awakened from something else, maybe 9/11, but I’m glad it happened so many years ago now.
What’s your story?
Was raised "weird." Thank God.
I was never asleep, only uninformed as I used to not care for politics. Being raised in a socialist country and then moved to America. Critical thinking and a proper education in the home country—it’s painful to tell you that even the socialist country I was in, they didn’t indoctrinate and brainwash the students like in America.
We were pushed to study a lot of advanced programs with no “everyone get a trophy” mentality. Everyone need to get an A- to pass. If you get a B+ you might as well quit school and selling oranges on the sidewalk because a B+ means you don’t qualify to pursue higher education (universities). Very high learning standard and I think it helps the students developing a certain level of critical thinking, something that the majority of “educated people” in America lack (example: American college students and hardcore democrat voters who have established careers).
What I really hate is when someone tell me what to think or have an opinion about something. I used to intern at company and the coworker (who was also my college classmate) kept badmouthing President Trump and tried to make me hate the man. Obviously all of the badmouths were slanders parroted from CNN and it made me lose all respect for her the moment she opened her mouth.
And then I watched the fall of the cabals. That series completes the fragmented pieces of thoughts regarding the so many issues in America I used to ponder about but never properly research because I didn’t care for politics before President Trump ran.
And finally, my leftie Ivy Leagues best friend. I still love her but she really disappointed me. So very uninformed and brainwashed.
Fall of the Cabal was quite an eye-opener for me. And of all the things that really got me questioning, it was the attention to detail to the migrants who "walked" 2,000 miles. I really enjoy wilderness backpacking, but I'd never look as good as they did after doing 10-2000 miles in flip flops.
I awakened quite young, as a child learning of JFK'S assassination and the multiple cover ups of UFOs, I always didnt trust the government. That sent me on a life long journey of truth.
2007-08 banking crisis was tipping point. MSM ‘experts’ parroting “nobody could have predicted this.” Huh? If I can quickly access a half dozen laser-accurate predictions warning of exactly this scenario going back at least 15 yrs, why can’t they?
Exposed the whole ruse of MSM — nobody could be as stupid or willfully ignorant as they are.
The thing that woke me up was Hussein Obama telling us that he wanted to skyrocket energy prices.
Started when I was a wee lad and recognized how cringy leftists are. Started watching Fox at 19. The rest was a ladder. Found out about Q with X22.
I am a scientist. Reviewing Covid and it clearly was a lab creation and the MSM and scientific journals claiming somehow this was recombinant virus from pangolins and bats that somehow spread from eating bats, completely nonsensical.
The book 1984. For real, it's a must read
By the way great question and post.Thank you. It's quite interesting to see so many paths the had different origins but led us all to the same place. Here we are. WWG1WGA
I was never asleep to begin with.
I was 13 and a had a conversation with what I would later realize was John Birch Society member. At the time I was confused this someone I was supposed to view as 'crazy' was a very serious sober thinker and hardly seemed a nut job to me.
So in 1976 I was told, Don't trust the FBI and if I should be in their presence should never say much more then hello. He told me of things that I would later find out where from the 1973 Church Commission on the activities of the CIA...this where we find out about the heart attack Gun and MKUltra which he mentioned to me at the time.
He told me to read...everything...and piece it together myself as my Teachers weren't teaching the whole truth and that News Man lies called Walter Cronkite a Traitor.
Told me of his time in the Navy in a place called the Gulf of Tonkin. After which I decided I would only serve if I were drafted in a time of great need.
I would spend my High School years battling with a history teachers more in tune with telling me a story instead of teaching actual history.
In my 20's I was too distracted to care life gets in the way. in my 30's-40's I'm a news junkie reading everything so I think I got a handle on it but the reality was they were all lying to some degree.
So I find myself following the Bengazi situation and instead of reporting the news I read am reading an article written by Matt Bai who seemed more interested in covering HRC and 44's ass instead of being a reporter he presumed to tell us what and how to think about the situation.
So I spent time smacking Matt around trusting news less and less as I being to see it's not just the online Matt Bai's it starting to be everyone.
Late 40's Got over 300 bookmarks to follow news now...until Trump I was eyeballing quiet places to live if HRC wins.
Then Q
I've been busy since...
Peace.
I'm old, and have always doubted the narrative. remember thinking Mister Rogers was weird when I was 2.
was in trouble with teachers/priests a lot as a child for asking too many questions that they couldn't answer/didn't want to answer.
guess I was precocious and have always known something was wrong...have been on 'conspiracy' forums forever.
but really couldn't see the entire picture until Q and QRV.
the bad guys give us lots of tangents to chase so we don't see what's really going on.
I spent many years reading about eastern thought, other religions, when I should have been reading the Bible.
Using my brain.
I woke up during the Obama Admin about a year before Hillary and Trump campaigned for the 2016 election. I haven't been awake long; maybe 5/6years. Now I have been researching since the Left stole the election from President Trump and took our votes with them. I pray everyday for the Lord to help us correct this injustice and for him to heal our land and rid us of the unjust corrupt radical leftist.
I got suspicious when the OKC bombing story fell apart and no one cared. When the governor was on the radio saying that they were removing bombs from the building and then, the next day, they said that there were no bombs inside the building. then, I fell back asleep.
Building 7 did it for me. Especially when they announced it collapsing before it had collapsed. From that point on, I realized that the common people are less than bugs under the feet of the elite and the entire political system is cucked.
The neighbors dog.
Mine started in October 2020.
I remember the moment clear as can be.
I tried to search on YouTube for "Joe Biden fracking" and the autocomplete wouldn't populate anything.
"Joe Biden f"
"Joe Biden fr"
"Joe Biden fra"
"Joe Biden frack"
Nothing. I spelled it out and found a few videos. Then, that just took me down a rabbit hole asking, "what DIDN'T the MSM and Big Tech want me to know?"
The awakening accelerated with watching Fall of the Cabal. The attention to detail on all of the media stories of migrants walking 10-2000 miles and looking so clean and fresh.
It continued with Out of Shadows.
I can fully say that I was awake after I drove from California to DC for January 6th. And I'm SO glad that I did. It will always be one of the fondest memories that I have. I saw that Americans from all over the country wanted to protect their freedom. And, most importantly, that we aren't alone in this.
It awakened me to the Plandemic. There were over 500,000+ chances over several days to catch the disease, yet I remained healthy. I stopped living with the MSM/government fear and proceeded with life.
I always knew the government was shady. I believed few at the top were involved and untouchable. But what actually woke me up to the situation were actually in, was when the media attacked trump for years on years without let up. Blaming him for problems that had existed for years before he took office and him never being officially elected to an office before. It was clear the power was in someone's hands who was not approved by the swamp. And it sure was cringey to watch them steal it back. But they fucked up. Everyone who didn't want to be involved is now involved. I'm writing to my elected officials stating my concerns and actively trying to become a head of my local gop. It's game over for the deep state. Q or not. Election corrected or not... You can steal the presidency from trump. But you'll never steal this country from the people.
I was a high school sophomore when 9/11 happened. That woke me up. I ended up watching loose change and those other early 9/11 documentaries. From there I looked into other so-called conspiracy theories and woke up even more. Then in 2006-2008 I woke up even more because of the Great Pretender running for president. I’ve been waiting for things that are going on in this world for 19-20 years or so.
I think i got waken up like 10 years ago. I dont remember exactly what started it but all of a sudden it was like I just started thinking what makes more logical sense.
9/11...was always conservative and knew Democrats were bad. However, it took awhile to realize they are all on the same team. Im so pissed I actually defended W during 9/11 and gulf war. Trump exposed them all.
This was back in about the late 90's as well. I was about 13 or 14 and I came across a small paperback pamphlet/book(It was odd and curious looking to me at the time) about 100 pgs or so, about the Illuminati. It went into describing about human sacrifice and blood ritual. It sparked my curiosity which then led me to all the stories and testimonies of SRA victims and once you realize little kids get snatched up and brought to satanic sex parties to be tortured and killed your view on human beings changes very quickly. I have carried a knife on me ever since.
My childhood friend who was my "best friend". He is a strong supporter of the Democratic party and have supported many people, especially women like Hillary Clinton, Dawn Clark Netsch, Carol Mosley Braun (yes I'm from Illinois) and many others. He hated Blagojevich and supported Obama and such. He's also gay.
Now what does that have to do with me being awaken from all of this shit?
He tried to kill me a long time ago, over the summer, then that year we went back to school, he turned EVERYONE in our social circle against me. I was literally all by myself the whole school year because he don't want me telling everyone he tried to kill me and his family.
He tried to molest many of my male friends and I don't know if he did it to me while I was sleeping when we had sleepovers. He raped two of my friends and successfully won in court that the person he raped, actually raped him. That friend had to move out of state per court orders.
He's also a pathological liar and made up stories for others to believe him and even tried to convince me that a few of his stories were true and I was there. I vehemently denied all of them because I know the truth but they believed him over me.
Didn't get into politics til President Trump came around and when I started reading more and more about Trump, I came to realize I've been a conservative this whole time. I thought I was a democrat or at least a liberal this whole time because I'm deaf and the Demons were supporting me because of my deafness and I thought I needed them as well.
It's thanks to that serial rapist/molester gay far-left mentally ill childhood friend of mine for mostly waking me up back when I was a teenager then President Trump for waking me up completely (for me to understand where I stand politically wise).
Sad to say, he worked as a resident advisor at a boys dorm at a boarding school, for several years. Wouldn't be surprised he did disgusting stuff to them while they're sleeping or whatever.
I wasn't exactly "asleep" but I really started paying attention to the news when BLM popped up last year... I always knew BLM was bullshit but I ignored it. Then my friends started virtue signaling on Facebook. I'm Asian and half my friends are Asian. The vast majority are engineers, software devs, doctors, etc--very smart-- and they were getting brainwashed. Asian girls are the worst. Most of my Asian female friends live very cushy, privileged lives and were pushing this BLM crap, even posting articles about how Asians are responsible for black people because we're basically white adjacents. I grew up in a super rich area with <3% blacks... My friends don't even interact with black people on a daily basis. Same thing happened during Obama when Islamic terrorist activity exploded. Everyone around me was virtue signaling while I woke up.
9/11.
Since I am extremely new here, the thing that truly woke me up was actually one individual on Instagram before the purge. He showed me the first Q codes I ever saw, and I instantly fell into the rabbit hole. The election only solidified my thoughts on the DS, and the uniparty. No major False Flag woke me up, since I wasn’t even born yet. (Born in ‘05)
Welcome new convert-a-rino!?
I've always questioned things so I feel I have always been partially awake. But fully this past year.
That being said, I've never been into or cared much for politics, just voted straight Republican. During the 2020 election I saw the massive amount of cheating on video and couldn't figure out why no one cared when the evidence was right there, court cases being dropped, etc...
I researched over the following weeks to a month and stumbled upon a podcast by Patriot Street Fighter and he mentioned the video Q - THE PLAN TO SAVE THE WORLD by Joe M.
The veil was lifted, I was completely awake!
I have known for decades something wasn't right in America. If was confirmed in November 2008 when they put a Kenyan nobody on the throne without anyone batting and eye about the SOB not being vetted.
I knew then our elections were a fraud.
For me it was rather recent, compared to the top comments in here, but I'm a huge car guy and have loved being a mechanic and making my cars faster and perform better. Talking to my moms boyfriend I was explaining this new car from lexus and he, knowing I was a Bernie bro, brought up that socialism and communism would never allow such a thing to exist. And from then on I started researching and reading and just viewing everything I saw in a different way and ended up voting for trump.
9/11
it starts local: Buddy got in a car accident, other drivers fault clear as day, report from the news was completely fabricated. I was unable to find any truth to the reporting and it was clear they just made it up. Once you see it is a lie, the gig is up, and you see the lies everywhere.
My wife is a normie still by definition. The daycare we sent our kids too suddenly has news about charges against the owner. Rumors of molestation because of a criminal charge. News goes nuts with the story. When you dig in, the owner picked up a 4 year old boy that was being violent to try to stop him. The charge the parents filed is the same charge that can indicate sexual abuse. So the news ran with the sexual abuse. In the article they reference an employee that was investigated years ago. Investigation proved she was being 100% appropriate with witnesses to the event in quesiton and even video recordings. But the recent story leaves this part out. She was furious that she had to do all this research on a misleading article because she was scared our children had gone there. But she sees now...she is where i was years ago after friends accident. She is seeing the lies. It takes time to go from this point to "oh no, it is all a lie" i am just giving her the time.
Watching the perfect demolition of the twin towers and building 7.
Third grade music class the principal came on the loudspeaker and announced JFK had been shot, third grade so it didn't make sense to me. But caused me to begin paying attention.
Realized later LBJ was corrupt, newspapers here in Texas printed stories of election frauds and milk scandals and frauds with Braniff airlines, Tonkin Gulf and his mis-handling of the Liberty incident, LBJ caused that.
Then got to hischool and first year the Feds bused in kids from a black school they closed down about 12 miles away, suddenly all we did was fight and riot, academics dropped like a rock. So the Draft was waiting on us and protests seemed in order, by then we knew it was a PC war, not a good fight.
For me it wasn't any single thing, it was noticing that wherever you looked government was corrupt and intent on lying, controlling, creating Evil.
I remember after JFK was shot, maybe a few months later when I was nine, my Uncle (Momma's Brother) came down to visit us for a few days. He had been in the NAVY, he joined the NAVY in 1938 to get away from the farm. His Destroyer was sunk by a German sub while escorting ships to Britain, a few months before Pearl Harbor. Ship was the U.S.S. Reuben James.
He survived obviously, but many of his Friends did not. I remember him sitting in my Momma's kitchen telling us about that, and my Momma argued with him, said he was lying because FDR did not put us in War prior to Pearl Harbor. She believed FDR was a near Saint, and was not going to believe he violated the Neutrality Act by escorting ships past the theoretical war zone limits. But my Uncle was laughing at her, making her ever more angry.
And she argued with him about being sunk, too, she accused him of lying again and said FDR would have told the public if that had happened, that he must have been sunk after Pearl Harbor and was confused or lying.
That stuck in my mind because my Momma was angry and hostile, wasn't like her at all and I knew she loved her Brother so it stuck. When I was able to research it myself I discovered my Uncle was correct, my Momma was wrong and THAT stuck in my mind too. She refused to believe Truth because her President lied to her.
FDR did a lot of shady/illegal things, but I only discovered that all later.
So by the age of 15 or so I was aware my government lied and did terrible things behind the lies. Then the busing and riots began, so there I was, awake and sorry to know stuff I knew while at the same time determined to know more.
We didn't know the extent of it, not close to knowing the nature of the Enemy in detail. We thought it was just crooked politicians, we were still Rubes with little clue how pervasive and Evil was this monster. But we knew of corruptions, LBJ then Nixon who wasn't much compared to the Real Crooks, Carter who was a yuge mess, but then Reagan was a ray of Hope.
We tried after the fall of the USSR to end the military-industrial complex, who we thought was the main enemy, by supporting Perot but we didn't understand it was already too late to depend on simple politics. We didn't realize how thoroughly corrupt was media and academics, we thought we were just fighting politicians.
Some of us have been struggling against this for decades and decades, tilting at windmills over and over again, with zero real hope until Trump.
I so very much Hope Trump is not finished, he represents decades of tears for some of us.
