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!
About 1966 - 1967 when a then-prominent member of the US House solicited my father for a bribe to perform a statutory act on my behalf. I was present. To his credit, my father declined. It began my awakening, furthered by a high-school English teacher who did an extensive unit on propaganda. I’ve been more than skeptical ever since. As a side benefit, my sales resistance is epic.
