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?
2000 election shenanigans got my spidey senses tingling a bit. Then 911 smelled super fishy but I couldn’t articulate why. Then in 2003 I stumbled across the documentary “Loose Change” and my brain lit up like that meme you see all the time. All that FF neocon warmongering woke me up to the corruption of the right/republicans, so I woke up as a lefty and all the CONtards hated me for facts that incriminated their team. Then I saw Alex Jones infiltrate Bohemian Grove and got to see all the DC scumbags and other movers and shakers don robes and burn a child sized effigy in front of a 40 foot stone owl out in the Redwoods. Laugh out fucking loud, these people are straight out of an old Saturday night Hammer Horror film. From there it was deep dives into the illuminati, MKULTRA, Mockingbird, Bluebeam etc etc. I’ll say this, I’ve been absolutely dumbfounded by people’s penchant for denial in the face of primary source evidence, as well as the absolute SITH levels of deception and evil that our “leaders” are capable of. It’s always been like a mental Chinese finger trap for me trying to understand how some of us can see it while so many others just can’t, even when they’re looking right at it.
