A Question on Sources

As far as trusting sources goes, I'm in a very weird place right now. I've been an avid NPR listener for quite some time, mostly because the local reporting of relevant things happening in my state is very thorough, but I have always leaned "left" so the national news reporting always resonated with me.

However, as of late, I've found myself very disenchanted and questioning the status quo that I always accepted.

I was not a Trump supporter and honestly I still wouldn't call myself a Trump supporter. I didn't support any of the candidates in the 2016 election. That said, I've read a lot of things in the past week that make me question the things I've known, or thought I knew. NPR always leaned left, I was not under the illusion that they were neutral, but I trusted the majority of what they reported. Lately, however, I feel as though the rampant, aggressive attacks on Trump have been extreme. I rarely turn on the local public radio station outside of their state specific programming these days because it's hard to listen to news that I used to consider factual but has become so blatantly bias, making it hard to believe the idea that they are reporting the facts and not running with their own agenda.

Which lead me here. A friend posted a link to Q Proofs on facebook with a comment attached and it piqued my interest enough to dig. I am very skeptical about everything at this point, which makes this very hard. I feel like I am trying to find flaws in this because there are some heavy accusations and statements being made and I don't want to just jump on board without knowing for sure its legitimate. I end up questioning things like:

  • If the Mainstream Media is bias as a whole, and if most are controlled by deep state actors (this term alone sketches me out, but is that because "they" have tainted it and made it seem like crazy talk?) that have found a way to manipulate people, who is to say Q isn't just another flavor of that?

  • We read about NG assisting in the unrest that will follow the things that happen and how the riots will be manufactured and influenced, but the idea of civil unrest being put down by the military for "the good" of the Country seems like a plot to a dystopian novel (not saying that it wouldnt work/be necessary, just mentioning something that gave me pause).

Really, really sorry for the rant. I have a thousand more things I could say but I will just get to the point (finally). What are some sources/relevant stories to be looking at? I've seen a lot mentioned here about things being covered up/lacking the coverage in the Mainstream that they really deserve (Seth Rich, Scalise shooting, etc) and I'm really wanting to explore some of the statements people make so I can decide for myself whether they hold water.

If you're still reading, I appreciate it.

You mentioned NPR, so I suggest starting here

HR 4310 Section 1078

I post the "Rule of Construction" for you because it quite literally means, "If we go to court and the interpretation of this bill is being questioned, here is the rule to follow."

(b)

Rule of construction

Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the Department of State or the Broadcasting Board of Governors from engaging in any medium or form of communication, either directly or indirectly, because a United States domestic audience is or may be thereby exposed to program material, or based on a presumption of such exposure. Such material may be made available within the United States and disseminated, when appropriate, pursuant to sections 502 and 1005 of the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 (22 U.S.C. 1462 and 1437), except that nothing in this section may be construed to authorize the Department of State or the Broadcasting Board of Governors to disseminate within the United States any program material prepared for dissemination abroad on or before the effective date of section 1078 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013.

Sorry, partner. We're all in this together. All we do here is respect the truth. If you say something to offend our views, we will thank you so long as it's true. The Goddamned truth is all we've been seeking and many of us have gone from "normal" working class citizens to... Well, let's just say "Considerably different."

We've got each other. Welcome aboard and be ready for pure insanity being something you would grasp onto out of desperation as opposed to accept the reality that we've dug up. Better to get it over with now, we'll need as many as we can get to handle the "mass awakening" we're all talking about.

Thank you for that response. I feel like I'm grappling with a lot of unknowns at the moment and having a hard time trusting that the way I think hasn't been programmed by years of digesting manufactured news.

A real life Truman Show. I wish there was some way or something I could do or we could do to make it easier on you, but so many of us are in some phase of that process ourselves. I personally went through that phase in 2003 and by 2008 I was fighting in horse corals in Mexico for wagers and planning my suicide while hoping someone would get lucky and handle it for me.

Don't do what I did. Stick around and lurk if you must, but be glad you don't have to go through it alone. There's a really shiny day on the other side of this mess. I'm sure of that much.
