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?
summer 2016 pizzagate / spirit cooking / wikileaks/ syria war era. it went viral and i went down the rabbit hole, and I waited a week or two for Obama to address it because naively hoped child welfare was non partisan interest of everyone, etc.... INSTEAD, i got Obama coining a new term that week "fake news". He was f'n running a coverup!! that's when i found out the world is majorly fucked up.
the seeds were sewn a long time ago for when i felt betrayed for supporting us in the Iraq war for wmds. along with my father planting seeds in me when i was young to not completely trust dc
