For me, the point of my awakening was pre-Q, when an incident known as the so-called "vanishing" of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH-370 occurred. There's just way too much surveillance over our skies for me to believe the BS that was relayed by MSM outlets after that. And after that, it was one rabbit hole after another that led me towards getting the full picture of what was truly up. My only real exposure to "conspiracy theories" prior to this point was the (extremely little) knowledge that the rap community (for e.g. Immortal Technique) were speaking about things such as the Illuminati and 9/11 and Reptilians and all of that stuff, and, like any other normie, I refused to believe it. At that time, I clubbed it all in with "tinfoil hatter nonsense", like how the normies now club anything that sounds unbelievable with "flat earther nonsense" and such. But yes, after that flight disappearance incident, I pretty much woke up full-scale in about less than 6 months or so.
What's your awakening story?
When I read the book Mortal Error, regarding the assassination of JFK. That was in the late 90's, I believe. Up until that point it never made sense that Oswald could hit that target, scoring two headshots in 6 seconds with a bolt-action rifle.
I've read that, too. It's certainly possible that it could have been a negligent discharge. Even if it were the case though, there were several others involved.
I watched a thing about it that theorized there were several shooters, even one in a storm drain a few meters from JFK.
To a broader extent, that planted a seed of distrust in me that has grown stronger over the years. 9/11 is a big one. If and when the real truth about that comes out, a lot of people aren't going to handle it.
Look for Bill Cooper's videos...Cooper claims the driver of JFK's limo turned and shot the "fatal head shot".
