My first awakening was in 2015 when I discovered Thomas Sowell. When Trump won and the media started to attack him.
It was the first time in my life I started to think the Media was bullshit. I'll admit... I was a Democrat pre 2016.
I still don't remember what lead me to find X22Report. After listening to Dave for a few months.
I was full on red pilled and never going back.
Still wishing I could get my brother to wake up!
The 1996 downing of TWA Flight 800 was probably the first significant redpill (for me). I think that a record percentage of people were watching the news developments using a web browser instead of a newspaper or TV. The federal authorities kept hammering down on eyewitness reports and amateur video footage, for months and months. It all seemed off, if the goal was to find the cause and prevent its reoccurrence.
Friends wife died on that flight , she was a flight attendant !
