blah yada meh User ID: 30323667 United States 05/01/2013 11:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Obama becoming president, the deeper I dug the more corruption I found throughout the last forty or fifty years perhaps even farther back in our history. We go on with our daily lives not ever realizing all the weirdos that are really screwing things up, with all the multitudes of different agendas, the foundation of America was doomed from the beginning, we have lost all our freedoms, wait were there really ever any to begin with, there is no place to run, no place to hide but within you selfish delusions. I think I will go plant flowers. Paddle together, bail, paddle; paddle, bail; paddle towards the land. |
Lime Flavoured Redux User ID: 39003525 United Kingdom 05/01/2013 11:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was a Titor-tard in 03-04, which is why I'm here (blame some of Creedo299's random ramblings on the TTI forum lol). It's difficult to pin point one conspiracy theory, but the death of David Kelly was dodgy as all hell. There are only certain conspiracy theories I really believe though. |

Saddletramp User ID: 812002 Puerto Rico 05/01/2013 11:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I never believed the lie of the "magic bullet" theory on JFK. I have too much knowledge of fire arms, I knew that shit was impossible... But the event that really began to wake me up was 9/11 That's when I started researching things...

miserkocho2 User ID: 17809430 Australia 05/01/2013 11:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | great question and some great responses.the breaking point is to see past the logical fallacies and double think that makes the improbable,possible.[what debunkers always cling to]once you break that link,factual evidence breaks through and you start to see things as they are,not what they appear.once you sort through the tangible from the clutter,all thats left is you,perpetuating the illusion by compromising your principles. the killing of america was probably the first conspiracy film i saw,but 9\11 in particular building seven broke that link for me.literally overnight,i woke up and world made sense and i havent stopped leaning since.

Bluepill User ID: 1016088 United States 05/01/2013 11:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 911 and only after 2006...until then I was COMPLETELY oblivious. It is one reason why I think 911 really will turn out to be a great gift to mankind. I really think they fucked up. I am Joe freakin average guy. And if I now know, millions of others do too. I cried when the USA beat Russia in ice hockey in the Olympics. I remember watching the Space Shuttle Endeavor take off live from Cape Canaveral and seeing all the foreign people there and thinking how fucking proud I was to be an American. I vote both ways: Voted for Clinton, voted for Bush the SECOND time mostly because I wanted to send the terrorists of the world a message. I remember the day after 911 going to the hospital and telling my jewish colleagues that "today I am an Israeli." I was moments away from joining the Navy then. I fucking cried with joy/rage/pride when Bush was with that fireman and said "pretty soon the people that brought down these buildings will be hearing from us." I was mesmerized during Bush's State of the Union speech (You're either with us or against us ), with Tony Blair standing and applauding.... What a change!!!!! I don't even bother any more with the people who don't see 911 as an inside job. I used to be angry, now I understand they are suffering from mental illness (cognitive dissonance). But the science is irrefutable and it is out there now..."They" certainly seem like they are winning but I think their days are numbered.... Anyway it sure as hell woke me up |

JustJ User ID: 17420168 United States 05/01/2013 11:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The day I experienced one firsthand. I won't go into details. I did once here, a few years ago and was threatened with harm with a creepy message in the thread. I thought I was sharing some cool info about the M bombing in Okc but that freaked me out and realized I was very naïve & what I knew could actually endanger me and my family if I spoke of it. I will never forget that day that opened my eyes to see that things aren't always what they seem and coincidence is for the naïve. That day was April 19. I was in class that morning and a junior in high school. My encounter with a friend, who was also my classmate when it happened, left me with more questions than answers. It really changed who I was and that's a harsh thing to awaken when coming of age and your cocooned vision of how you perceive the world to be, has been torn away and you are left with brutality of how the world really is. |
curiouslyinterested User ID: 25678800 Canada 05/01/2013 11:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The death of Princess Diana. There were reports for 2 weeks prior to her death that she was about to make a 'huge' announcement. Speculation was that she was pregnant. Lead coffin liner suggests that may have been the case, but whatever the intended reveal, she did not live long enough to announce it. |
