The same has happened to me over the last year. Take solace in the fact that you are not alone. It's like waking up from the matrix. You've been awakened to it's existence and are starting to see how it all ties together and manipulates every aspect of everybody's everyday life. But now knowing what you know, you can no longer go back to living in it, blindly believing this is the way life is supposed to be. You've been awakened to your need to serve a higher purpose and to help others do the same by spreading awareness.

Simply talking about it and standing together against these injustices is in itself spreading awareness. A revolution can not be inspired without first building an educated army of self-thinkers. And I think this leak just woke a LOT of people up to the reality of how deceitful and untrustworthy our government truly is. The government wants the sheeple to criticize self-thinkers like ourselves. They don't want people waking up to the reality of the rampant government abuses that have largely gone unquestioned and unanswered until now. We are the core of the revolutionary snowball that is quickly growing in speed and mass awareness.

So to cut to the point are you going to sacrifice your life for your clueless grandparents or are you going to cut out? Waking up is only about half of the struggle the next part is figguring out how much you are willing to sacrifice for family and friends.

So if things deteriorate to the point that your grandparents are not able to live a blissful retirement then what do you do?

The best thing to do is just focus on others

The best thing to do is just focus on YOU. Make sure your ship is in order. Be the beacon of light you wish others to be. If you can do that, then others will follow you like moths to the light without you having to tell them anything really. Just make sure and do YOUR THING. Don't try to be a leader to anyone but your own Greater Self.

Do that, and everything else in your life will fall into place.

there are many layers

Here's how I see it... If you're christian, you believe it blindly or by faith, then let this be the same.

Fear is what they want you to feel.

They only have power over you if you fear them.

I'm not saying they're not dangerous. I'm just saying that if you see a rattle snake in the road freaking out won't help the situation. Keep calm, learn as much as you can about rattle snakes and you'll be fine. Help others who wish to learn about rattle snakes. With understanding you can deal with the situation without too much fuss. Snakes will come and go. You will remain you.

Also, you were once ignorant of these things. Others are currently where you were. You cannot judge them for being what you yourself were. To do so would be to judge yourself. You will find that even if people don't believe the sort of stuff in this forum many people know that something is afoot. Don't chase them away by calling them 'sheeple.' You'll set up a hostility pattern of interaction and this is good for the self-appointed rulers. Divide and conquer. We are all in this together. Whether we know it or not. Be easy on yourself and be easy on othrs. This is not a sprint. This is not a short race. This is a marathon. And you're going to have to help people along the way. Get strong and get ready.

That said; welcome to the club.

Cheers.

P.S. Psychopathy is highly relevant and should be investigated.

If you want to change the world - change your mind.

The good thing about right now is that things are so bad that you can't help but take notice. This actually is a good thing. Most people don't react to problems until they're really bad. The problem or the self-appointed rulers acting like dick-holes has gotten so bad that you can't help but notice. Liberals and Conservatives know that something is up. Many of them get caught in the trap of thinking that it's a binary opposite problem (Conservatives are the opposite of my label and so all the problems of the world must be their fault, right? Right? Yeah.). That said, they have the beginning step already on lock down. They know that there is something worth thinking about. Even if their conclusions and thoughts get molded by the people causing the problems.

Your friends sound like the kinds of people who will believe what they're told. To some extent this same phenomenon is right here in this very sub. You'll see untold posts about how it's all The Jews or it's all The Reptilians and so on. People who have these beliefs will filter for those posts that support their views. We all do this. It's called "confirmation bias." Just know that if you say things that do not go along with their beliefs you'll probably be dismissed because what you're talking about does not, in any way, fit in with their model of "reality."

This is where creativity comes into play.

You cannot just go and tell someone that their whole life is a sham and expect them to smack their forehead and say thank you. They'll naturally be very upset because this means a lot of emotional investment that they'll have to abandon. This is actually, on a psychological level, very, very upsetting. You can't just take that away from them. They, like you, have to be guided into new areas of thought. The creativity part is when you think of ways to do this so that you don't psychologically harm your friends and family. You don't just show a cave-dweller the sun. You have to show the lights at the far end of the cave first. You then get to show the blue sky. Only after getting used to this strange light over a period of time do you finally show the blazing object. And only when they're ready to see it. You can't see it for them. They have to see it for themselves.

Blah, blah, blah. Jesus, do I prattle on.

Anyway, how can they change these things?

The answer is amazingly simple: you are a person. Your life has value. You are important. You have power. By being a good person and by choosing to participate in things you agree with or choosing not to participate in things you don't agree with you take your life back. You take your power back. Right now the self-appointed rulers wish to keep us in a position of non-power. No choice. They wish for us to submit to their arbitrary and damaging laws and social programs. The solution is to not play their game. You [play your own game. Their society blows. But that doesn't mean all societies are bad. It's just that theirs is a bullshit model. So don't go along with that model. You can go along with other models. This is what it means to be human. You get to live your own life. If someone doesn't like it [self-appointed rulers] that's too godamn bad. You choose your friends and you choose what you value; they don't get to tell you what's really real or what's really important. The self-appointed rulers are very likely a bunch of psychopaths anyway and as such they don't actually value anything other than power, glory and monetary wealth. They're mentally beneath us and they know it.

I'm babbling again.

Basically, you're now in a larger sphere of thought. Learn as much as you can about everything you can. Learn about Luciferianism too. Lucifer is not Satan. Learn about money and taxation [tribute / serfdom]. Learn about sacred geometry and theology. Learn about mythology. Mythology is one of the most fundamental and important things skipped in education.

Through understanding and awareness you can deal with problems.

If you don't know a problem exists you can't deal with it.

Now that you know a problem exists you must fully understand it. The more you understand the more effective the possible solution. The solutions themselves [there are many] are also subject to examination. Some will be more effective than others. Only through thorough understanding can you really deal with a problem. You're dealing with multinational corporations and literally billions of people who believe bullshit. This is no small thing. Baby steps and patience. Patience with yourself and others.

People who hang out in coffee shops tend to be more awake because they actually fucking talk with other people.

Also to see how fear has been systematically implemented into control try finding time to watch these suggestions:
The Power of Nightmares building fear.
The Century of the Self controlled implementation.

Those two were revelations when I first saw them.

I highly recommend them to anyone interested in the subject of thought control.

Century of The Self is probably the one to watch first.

The Century of the Self is a great tool for building a better world view. I learned that by controlling diamonds and convincing nearly every woman that she needs one is a great way to take a large slice out of every man.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas could teach us all this lesson. Just have to adapt it a touch for the situation....

If you see a big metal snake in the sky, don't shoot it, study it's habits first.

The following may sound ludicrous, but has anyone else thought the following: Support group. Find out you have cancer? Support group. Addictions? Support group. Victim of abuse? Support group. Is there nothing like this for people who are just waking up? When one pulls back the wool from their eyes they see the cancerous and addictive abuses that have been imposed on their reality. It can be gut-wrenching. Anyone want to start up some "Independent Research Groups"?

Edit: By the way, I feel ya, FunkMast3r. :)

Check out the Thrive movement.

Thanks, will do.

If you live in a cool area then your local coffee shop might be a good place for this. Also travelling in hostels is great medicine.

[edit] Ooh wee there is nothing better than talking to a super educated hotty from another country and she is just chilled out. What would otherwise be an education disertation on how the world is constructed is just like "ok everyone knows that" and then you move on to build from there. So painless, so nice. I can't wait to be outa here again.

Don't fall for "DEY ARE REPTILIANS" conjuration. Think of it more like "The reptilian part of their brain rules them" and you'll be more balanced and happy (Also people will not call out out for tinfoil-minded opinions).

That's my personal opinion and not a shot-across-the-bow for David icke believers.

Its been put to me that you need to master each part of your brain going upwards or you will be a slave to it. The cortex is the least significant of all in that there are far more controls going upwards then downwards. The ego or higher cortex part is essentially told how it is going to be by the basic mammalian brain and then it creates a justification as to why it is so. There are increasing levels of modularization while still all being a bit fuzzy. The cortex is supposed to check the lower part and through various specialized regions and alert the lower brain if something is wrong. The intuitive capability of the lower brain is dramatically more powerful than the math and chess part up above.

The Sociopathic brain is somehow built differently in that it is able to fully utilize the higher cortex part of the brain for solving problems but it is missing the characterstic mammalian empathy part. It is almost as if a cerebral cortex was spliced onto an aligator brain. They are cold and calculating and missing some otherwise very mammalian qualities. You could argue that you have more in common with a dog than a full on sociopath. Also sociopaths are often (if not always) very bad at certain types of activities, which implies that their condition is brain damage.

Recently on reddit I read an article about spiders where they studied one species of spider and compared at the "nice" and "agressive" ones. They found that if they created a colony of only the "nice" sharing spiders that eventually they would be overrun by a neighboring group of very agressive and violent ones. They determined that having just several percent of the spiders be aggressive that it was enough for the species to protect itself and to be able to expand without placing too much social pressure on the group. I don't know if the research is solid and will hold up but it seems to be timely in that people are beginning to take quite an interest in human sociopathy, since it has become such a problem. Also we might be anthropomorphizing spiders in a nonsense way. I have to add that since /r/science always mentions this.

How about joining a militia??

And, I'm on the list...

TL;DR: I am scared about how many sheeple there are. I am glad I found you guys.

• Rule #1 not everyone here is your fiend or looking out for your best interests. YOU need to do this for yourself.

• Rule #2 Welcome and don't freak out. Live your life and LOVE others (most important). Do what you can to help, but don't fall into despair. Always keep your hopes high.

I advise you not to purchase the xbox one. Basically a CCTV in your living area.

News Flash, you have been with us since the 70's. Your brainwashing isn't to the level of America's because ours has been around for a very long time. However, you have your own form of propaganda.

They play on two things with Canadians. Ego and Humor. If something is uncomfortable you laugh it off, if it is a matter of facts, you brow beat with degrees and factoid arguments.

The difference is your people are more egotistical by design. If you aren't, than you are seen as part of the problem, a low life, a loser. If you are not helping the "Great Infrastructure" that Canada has built than you are a trouble-maker.

Canadians have some of the most crass sense of humor as well. Willing to laugh at the most horrific issues with the world and go about their business because Canada is so wonderful.

This, mind you, are the words of the disillusioned is not how I feel about Canada of course, that was an example of the brainwashing.

The truth is Canada is becoming more divided in it's cast system. That gap is causing people to question things they hadn't previously thus challenging the social perspective of what is going on to be considered "truth" (I believe the term is Politically Correct, funny this term even exists).

And what we actually see about Canada's economics is that it begins to really slide in around this time.

http://canadianawareness.org/2012/04/who-changed-the-bank-of-canadas-policies-in-1974-and-why/

But to note, the brainwashing propaganda blitz occurred right than. Seeping into your culture people slowly become more Zealous about their beliefs in financial institutions and corporations. Schools began to shift from education to forms of prioritization.

This had already happened in America a long time ago. And so now the humor.

They make you laugh at us Americans. Laugh at how stupid we are. How moronic we are...

Laugh at the stupid humans who have been brainwashed to be cattle. Laugh at how ridiculous they sound. Have television shows where we go ask them questions and laugh as they have no idea what the answer is (but edit out any footage of them getting it right).

Laugh at yourselves, as you are brainwashed too and we know you will never look at this truth because it makes you sick to your stomach knowing that you have been fooled. Laugh until you die.

That is what they do in Canada. Make you laugh at us so much you hate us. Hate us for being such fools. And that hate makes your fellow Canadians not see what we all have in common. That we are all peaceful and on the same side. That we all want the same things, the same loves, the same dreams. And that there is room for all of them.

I am sorry you have to endure this, but rather you see the truth than live a lie? I have many Canadian friends and I can tell you that what they all share in common is a fear of being isolated, that no one knows how they fear. I will tell you what I tell them...

I have many Canadian friends and I can tell you that what they all share in common is a fear of being isolated for what they believe, because they feel like they are the only ones with think that but also because anyone who does question it is ridiculed and trivialized. You are surrounded by people who are made to think a certain way, if you understand that you simply have to forgive them and you will be able to talk to them again. They are all victims.

If you are really on the side of truth than you aren't afraid of someone to disagree with you, you are simply concerned with the actions they take based upon beliefs alone.

Be well friend.

Enjoy the PERFECT BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE that live there. I swear, when I visited Oslo, Norway I never found one ugly person walking the streets ever. The pubs were full of "commercial" good looking folk!

Anyway Sweden is not Norway but erm, close enough :D

Please stop using the word "Sheeple." It really doesn't help you.

I believe the preferred Nomenclature is Ameri-fats

welcome...to the danger zone! i only have about 3 friends who talk about this stuff and take it seriously. i have a few more that listen to me and then call me a nut job. but, as i said in one of my recent posts, a lot of people with sharp anti-conspiracy theories are super ignorant once you start to pick apart their arguments. they literally just spew uneducated nonsense at you, and it takes a bit of weaseling, but for most people like that, once you pick them apart a bit, you see that they use their ignorance as a way of self empowerment. It's like arrogant business men: they talk loud, they get the girl, but they are in no way self-reflective enough to do good research on anything, they just spew and spew and spew with very little substance. that alone has helped me realize that i'm not the absurd one. and this sub has helped too.

I was explaining the CIA shadiness to a friend yesterday, and he asked "how did this all happen?", and I told him how you have to go back to the Federal Reserve, the big name families (Rockefellers, JP Morgan, the Bush's and everyone connected with them) and you start to see how long it's taken them to get to this point, but that they've finally made it to the front of the Brave New World. But yeah, much more complicated than any one conversation could do justice too. which is why the only way any of these people you talk to about it will understand is if they do their own research. it always comes back to money though. always.

Welcome to more fear-mongering.

Fear is the mind killer. They want you to be afraid so don't be. After earth the new film deals with fear and they don't want anyone to see it.

Exiting the Cave and looking at the Sun for the first time can be very scary, many decide to go back, and those inside are ready to kill those that try convince them that what they conceive as reality is really just shadows ....

I am glad I found you guys.

Settle down there guy. this sub has more trolls than truthers, you basically found a troll sub.

I encourage you to listen to the best podcast in the universe, the No Agenda Show . It's free, they provide all sources, and it's Adam Curry of Headbangers ball. They do a show every Thursday and Sunday at noon EST.

Let me assure you the rabbit hole is deep, but rather comforting once you're in free fall.

I woke up about a year ago and went through a depression for about 2 months. Ever since then I have been learning as much as I can and (attempt) to inform people I know. It usually blows up in my face, but so far a lot of the stuff I have tried to tell them has come to light.

I always considered myself a "conspiracy theorist," because I always knew 9/11 didn't feel right, but in reality I wasn't even scratching the surface of any of this. When I started reading about banks and everything, it was like all the missing puzzle pieces in what I already knew just locked into place. It was fascinating, but very scary at the same time.

I recently found this sub and have been reading a lot of it, although I haven't really posted as I don't know enough to actually contribute to the conversation aside from what has already been said, so I just end up reading all the comments and moving on. I am slowly learning though!

Yes we are!

We are not alone in this, that is a fact that keeps me going each day. That I am not the only one who had the veil smashed. I educate people I know to the best of my ability, whether they believe me or not.

Every day more and more people are waking up. A good friend of mine who has been against almost everything I have told him about this for the past year came to me last week and asked me to explain a few things. I did so with a smile on my face, because he was willing to accept my knowledge for the first time ever.

I have learned a lot this past year, it is insane that literally every day I am learning something new. The rabbit hole goes so deep that I can't (and maybe will never) see the bottom. It is an endless descent down it, but I am happy to make the trip and to bring other people along with me on the way down.

Maybe not the best analogy, but it was the best I could think of, haha. Just realize you are not alone.

This sub has taught me a lot, I just feel bad I haven't really contributed much in return to it. There is just something refreshing about knowing that you are not the only person who knows about something like this, that you have people who will give you support when you are down, that will give you the strength to keep going.

I have never smoked Marijuana, but I agree with you. Maybe some day I will!

Ok, that makes sense. While I do see the benefits, it is just not for me personally. If I ever needed one of those benefits though, it would be nice.

I feel like educating people is futile sometimes. So many times have I been called crazy, I have actually been disowned by family and friends over the past year. The rest of my family thinks I am crazy, and my grandma has even said she fears that I am going to be one of those people that ends up running into the woods and cutting off all communication from, everybody. It is depressing to have people not listen, or listen but not believe you.

But it is also relieving to realize there are people out there who you can have meaningful discussions about this with. I have a friend who always comes over to my house to hang out and play video games, and we spend hours just discussing current events. That is time I actually look forward to.

No, don't be sorry. I am in the same boat you are here, and am really enjoying talking to you and other people. I will have to look into DMT and do my own research.

Yes it is!

I see people more people are waking up, I just saw a conversation on my Facebook news-feed regarding PRISM. I am a little shocked right now, haha. More and more stuff is slowly becoming public, and it is causing people to be like "Wait a minute, something is not right here." I am liking this.

It should be good unless there is a major sports even coming up.

Dammit. I hope this doesn't get swept under the rug for this. But hey, you know this will get spun to be the best thing possible for Americans. I personally know people who feel this kind of thing is absolutely necessary.

We shall see how this plays out, it should be interesting to watch how it all unfolds.

Usually just Reddit. I started with Alex Jones, as I think most people did. But I move don from him. I mostly just stay up to date in this sub. This seems to stay up to date very well, as long as you weed through some kd the more crazier things.

I sometimes read the paper and watch the news, but I know to take everything from those with a grain of salt.

If you find any other good places for this, let me know.

No problem!

Now that you are awake, don't go back to sleep. It happens too fast that ppl lose interest.

The Boston incident was fishy from the start. To me it looked like a mini-9/11. It was just as theatrical, it was unannounced, and of course there was the media, who couldn't stop saying 'terrorist' and 'terror attack'. Then you have the official narrative, just as full of holes as 9/11. But people will believe anything they are told, so you could say that a flock of terrorist geese trained by the sinister Al Qaeda want to bomb a major city, and people wouldn't question it. Hell they'd probably boycott geese!

Instead of using the energy on anger, which btw I understand why you would be, use it to better understand the world around you.

Clearly we are expected to believe what we are told, and nothing else. They reinforce it with the same old tricks, essentially making up the public's mind for them. After this point, evidence matters not, and if anyone cries out for anything tangible, others point the finger and scream 'dissenter!' Honestly, just realize that things are not as they are presented, and you the citizen are expected to fall in line and obey, never questioning and always accepting. Don't be angry, be wary. And if you watch any television, scale it back dramatically.

A few notches. Look at it like this: The more fear and apprehension are injected into the populace, the easier it is to control people. That's exactly what is happening. It is all happening so fast, too. Don't get caught up in it, step back and question more.

Like Bain Said He wants to "give the power back to the people" Capitalism is a Cancer and it's cure is Communism.

To many things to list. But, i can start you off with this good read.

http://trotskyite.wordpress.com/2012/01/13/arguments-for-communism/

I disagree completely, communism is NOT the answer a neurosurgeon should not be paid the same as a janitor, also communism requires an "elected dictatorship" or some grand form of control to determine whats equal and fair for all. The best form of government is a Republic of free people who are each individually responsible for their own actions coupled with regulated capitalism to prevent monopolies, oligarchies, and royalty from gaining a foothold.

Be not afraid. Be aware.

I have been saying shit about this since '97. People told me I was crazy - that I was just a dumb teenager. What is is crazy is how true and even crazier reality has actually become. It's WAY worse than anything I thought it could be. You should be scared. We should all be scared.

Can only imagine what 9/11 was like for you.

Don't worry, you just have to plant the seeds of "doubt" in peoples heads over their perceived realities. Ignore the scoffs you will get when you tell folk what is really going down, once the pieces become more obvious, i.e the recent NSA story, you can simply respond with a knowing nod and people, in my experience anyway, are less likely to dismiss you offhand.

I'd reccomend getting a firearms license... you know, just incase they decide to ban them all together here in Canada.

Well there is nothing to be scared about. A major change is coming and we are currently winning the infowars, we are having a huge effect and even the zombies are starting to wake up.

The globalists are on the run, the liberty lovers are on the rise. We just need to crush their necks politically and finish them off now that we have the upper hand with all their criminality documented.

Good to know more people feel the same. Don't worry you got us if you ever feel your alone

oh my goodness, you are scared!?

better stop posting on the internet before the aliens in the government brain wash you

Don't fall for "DEY ARE REPTILIANS" conjuration. Think of it more like "The reptilian part of their brain rules them" and you'll be more balanced and happy (Also people will not call out out for tinfoil-minded opinions).
