It’s 1997 and I’m working in the media at a small station in the northeast. I was an experienced reporter by then and that is the year when I noticed a tide change both locally and internationally. It was little things, but I felt those things were pointing to something much bigger.
I started digging.
Online, I found preppers, conspiracy theorists and Spiritualists. Some folks were already building bunkers and going off the grid. I waded through it all, came across topics like pedophilia and missing children, hidden UFO technology, whistleblowers and witches.
And I began to form a picture that I expanded on over the decades. Imagine trying to tell people what was happening in 1997! It was the loneliest place on earth.
If you don’t think people are waking up, let me tell you, IT IS HAPPENING. And it’s a beautiful thing. And it’s only going to escalate by leaps and bounds and by the minute and by the day.
The only thing we had “back in the old days” that came close to what we needed was the Tea Party.
God bless you all, my Patriot soldiers. You don’t know how happy I am to see you. You are doing God’s work. You are all heroes.
Hey if it is any consolation, I was goldpanning on the Nooksack river in Washington State with my stepbrother and his best friend in 1989 and I saw bigfoot. We were wayyy up in the hills on a trail off of old logging roads and at first I thought my brother was pranking me when he told me to look up cause bigfoot was across the river staring at me. That is until he said with more urgency that I should look up from sifting through my pan that I was squatted in front of. When I looked up, I slowly stood and froze. A dark hairy creature between 8 and 9 ft tall was about 40’ away across the river staring directly at me. ( I guage the height against my 6’5” husband whom I hadn’t yet met. I just stood staring for about two minutes then turned and walked away like a person taking huge strides into the woods
There is weird stuff out there (in the world I mean, not just in the woods) that's difficult to integrate into our normal experiences. Sometimes you just have to file things away for maybe a later time, while keeping your eyes open.
I've learned not to snark at much of anything anymore, because over the last few years I've learned repeatedly how little I know of what I thought I knew. In the future I'm anticipating learning that I know even less...
