I'm a married man and father. I've been on here for a year now (half lurking, half member). GAW has become my primary news source thanks to all the researchers and experts in so many areas, in addition to the family-like community.
My wife is a conservative and 45-supporter 100%, but also what I'd consider not fully awake.
I don't think I'm a "conspiracy theorist." I do believe recent events are orchestrated. 9/11 has question marks. Fires intentionally set. Voter fraud is rampant worldwide. Vaccines causing more harm than good. The "pandemic." Public schools serving as indoctrination camps. Etc. Stuff everyone here would likely agree with.
So, despite my wife being uber conservative, when I share a lot of these perspectives with her, I get the "OK, ________" response in a sarcastic tone, like I'm taking it over the top, making a wild and ludicrous claim.
So, I'm curious to hear from other anons willing to share if they have similar experience in this regard with a spouse or fiance or girlfriend, and if so, how to help guide them to their own awakening not influenced by "hubby told me so".
I would like to hear from any married women too, especially if your husband was able to influence your awakening in any way.
Interesting post. While the marriage aspect of your “dilemma” certainly has it’s particular challenges, getting ANYONE to come around and see the light is often an uphill battle.
A couple things I’ve found that seem to move the needle a bit have more to do with getting them to notice things. Stay at the 40K heights and don’t get into the associated conspiracies, but flag some BS for her and see if she catches on.
Does she read cooking magazines? Flip through one and count the pharma ads for her, remarking how I bet more people would like to have had more recipes or food-based articles than ten pharma ads, how magazines used to have more subject matter and less ads. Pick out one of the pharma ads online that doesn’t actually tell you what the med does (I saw a new one of these recently) and remark “Do people actually go to their doctor and ask them if they should be taking the purple pill - having no idea WTH it’s for!?” Leave it as a question to your wife. She’ll start noticing pharma ads are everywhere and perhaps start thinking about this.
A close friend who’s into the “clymate change” hoax (misspelling intentional) has now started commenting about the ridiculous dramatic music the weather channel plays when there’s an upcoming rainstorm, this after I went on a mocking rant about how they’re pushing fear porn constantly and was there any real reason why they just can’t tell us the particulars about the storm without all the doomsday music. Make your wife notice the subtle ways the media is manipulating people without going into the details of who’s doing it and why they’re doing it.
Or how about “I want to know how a congresswoman making $125K yearly salary can, just five years later, afford a $4M home! (Use actual numbers; I’m just pulling these out of thin air as an example). I should’ve been a politician!” Or “Look at this article on the price of XYZ drug! Wow! Well, I suppose they have to recoup some losses from when they were fined millions for that ABC drug that paralyzed several people. How do people afford it?” Or “Wow! The NIH didn’t require it’s employees to take the vax. That’s strange, in a sense…” (NIH? CDC? Both? I don’t remember).
We notice a whole ton of things that others don’t and we retain a lot over time, too. Train others to notice. Train them to consider the importance of certain info and to keep it in mind (like pharma-induced injuries and deaths). Once they lose trust in these propagandists, they’ll be more open to hearing about the actual conspiracies behind them. Just my two cents…
Solid points all. Thx for sharing. Interesting that you mention the media / weather channel dramatic music. My wife's first job while in college was at a TV station. She was fascinated by MSM and wanted to make it her career. She worked behind the scenes in news production during the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal. She immediately saw the spin as well as the dramatization and lies and over the top effects. Too much for her to handle. That was the START of her awakening, 25-some years ago. So she's been awake for a while, just an extremely slow pace.
