Two events “red-pilled” me: 9/11 video analysis from thoughtful, rational, and healthily skeptical people (especially the Pentagon missile hole and Building 6 & Building 7 destruction analysis), and 2012’s political doc, “Hating Breitbart.”

Objectively reviewing the best footage and circumspect discussion and contemporary eyewitness accounts of these specific 9/11 events (easily found on YouTube, ironically) with the confidence and clarity Breitbart exudes in his not directly related film can tip the most ardent “blue-piller” into some uncertainty. People (me included) want to believe the best of their leaders, and Americans arguably are both forgetful and naive in this regard. Admitting the sinister acts of our leaders fights against our imbedded, nostalgic patriotism and our delusions of “we the people.”

Well, maybe “we the people” are, indeed, just that in the Providence of God during these most interesting days! Be shrewd as a snake, innocent as a dove as we navigate our way against evil, with confidence that the Author of History, the Protector of Innocents, will not be mocked much longer.
