For me, it was checking up on the murder of Kennedy. It was much harder in those days to research something fishy, so when you figured out that powerful people were lying, it got your attention.

When did you figure out the fix was in?

Silly me I thought we could buy a house putting 20% down, then realized the price. LOL Then When I wanted to pay cash for a new car, they would only offer a deal if I financed it. Did my research, and shit, remembered learning about 2012 when I was a kid, but thought hell, who cares I will be old by then.. Now, fat kids everywhere, no gym. no real food. The big kicker was after the butterflys were dying in Japan, then the bees here, and the bats.

I took Horticulture in High School. Felt like someone slapped my hard.

When I was sixteen back in the year 1970 I saw a live newscast of some people who were surrounded by the people in a hotel. They broadcasted live as the police gunned these wanted tax evaders down for the IRS. From that moment on I knew... the fix was in.

When I was 6 years old and my Daddy handed me the business end of a cattle prod and shocked me with it. I looked at him, very hurt and he said, "just goes to show you, you can't trust everybody".

I miss him.

I'm young, so I still have some basic trust of human beings, but certainly not reliance on their mistakes or corruptions.

I learned the government/media and most of academia were untrustworthy when media companies sued teenagers, the ludicrously false evidence the government presented for Iraq, Fox aired "Who wants to marry a millionaire", and when the dollar decided to unspin, all around 2002-2003.

Hey you must have survived your venture to the garage last night, eh. You must be a farm girl or a truckers daughter, because I don't know anyone else that has cattle prods laying around. I got a couple in the shed that I don't use anymore because I don't have any cattle.

Re: What was the first thing that woke you up to the reality that we should trust almost nobody?
I used to never trust anyone due to a bad childhood.

However, as I got older and wiser I learned to trust myself, and that made all the difference.

Now I am able to trust when its appropriate and also be skeptical when its appropriate.

Going through life trusting nobody is almost as foolish as trusting everybody, in my opinion.

My own father betrayed me far crossing the line.

Taking my fiancée behind my back who was 3 months pregnant with my child to an abortion clinic.

Then he slept with her.

On the same day.

That was the trigger that woke me the fuck up that this world isn't what I had been led to believe.

Then the twin towers collapsed, I haven't looked back.

You can garrantee that the story 'above' is just a drop in the bucket.

Believe me. This world is truely fucked up.

Katrina was even worse than 9/11 for me.

It was the first time I really understood that we are on our own.

After that it was illegal immigration and then watching how the media screwed Ron Paul.

Sorry to hear that dude. Your mother should have given you up for adoption, at least then you would have had the chance for a happy childhood. It's terrible that we treat our pets better than we treat our own children.

When that Palastinian father sheltered behined the oil barrel, trying to protect his son as the bullets getting ever closer, could be seen making an arc of holes in the wall behined.

Then seeing both slumped apparently dead.

Realising that the perpetrators would not be sought for prosecution, was a big shock, and I lost my trust in the "moral authority" of the west.

Then 911, & Hurricane Katrina lead to looking at other issues and realising 7/7 was also an inside job. That John Kennedy and his son were murdered by the government as was, Rabin, King, X, R. Kennedy, John Smith, Dr. D. Kelly, Princess Diana, Cook, Senators Wellstone and Carnahan etc..

I suppose there were many things that raised suspicions but without the internet it was much easier back in the old days to explain things away as little groups of corrupt people here and there. It was hard to figure out how far reaching the real evil conspiracy went until it was all put on display with the JFK assasination, Viet Nam war followed a few years later with the police riots at the 1968 Democratic Convention. It was hard to deny the truth after that.
