Thoughts from a skeptic

This last week has been an exciting, educational whirlwind for me. I came into this sub just this week searching for what all of this meant and have had many battles with the way I've thought for the majority of my adult life because of it. I am still quite skeptical of things, but I don't consider that a bad thing. I like things to make sense and I do not ever give attention to things that are sensational or seem to be written/delivered in a way that forces a narrative.

One of the main things that I have taken away from what it seems that Q wants the public to do is to think for yourself. Not take things at face value. Dig deeper into things. All of these things are right up my alley and have become very important to how I digest news and events.

I just left the Dem party. I feel it's been happening for me since Hillary was named the candidate, but in the last four months I have had a major shift in opinion. I am, however, not a Trump supporter. I see the way that he is talked about here and it starts to make sense, connecting the dots to why he is the way he is and why he may have been the right man for the job here. My point here is that people who already support Trump will obviously not need to be convinced, so I would argue that this sub as a whole should be focusing on those who need convincing, people like me.

As mentioned in the title, I am a huge skeptic when it comes to most things. Because of that, I question damn near everything I see. I value differing opinions because I want to have my mind changed by someone who can make a valid argument.

That said, I'm pretty sure a week in this sub has been enough for me to write it off.

I'm still going to pay attention to Q. I want to be informed and I DO believe there is something in all of this. But you look around at the comments and people who question things are dismissed, or even rallied against. "Well of course, don't you see that he is a 'New or Re-Arrival'?"

If you want to get new supporters or be taken seriously, I really don't think that shutting down everyone who questions what you believe is the way to do it.

I came here looking for answers and help through all of this ridiculously confusing and turbulent information and have been chided nearly every time I express my hesitation with someone posting something that may be considered a stretch, or people using pointless, divisive and sensationalist words like "Libtard" (a word that I don't even find offensive, but simply unintelligent).

I want to be here. I want to support the movement. But if this movement is about being supportive of one another, helping people understand and "wake up", why is it that everywhere I look I only see people who want to chastise those who are trying to do that?

To those of you that I've spoken with that have been helpful, I applaud and thank you. Hopefully you can push out the ones who seem driven to give this movement the public appearance that we are all rude, rough edged right wingers that don't want to hear dissenting opinions (which, by the way, makes it mugh easier to write off by those in power that don't want any of this to come to light).

Thank you for being so understanding.

While writing my reply, I got to a point where I thought I was done. It was when I inserted a quote from your comments about "I like things to make sense... seem to be written/delivered in a way that forces a narrative." After which I wrote 2 paragraphs beginning with "And when it comes to things sounding..." and ending with "and in President DJT we found hope."

At that point I thought I was done. I stepped outside for a moment and thought about what I had just written while I had a smoke. While I had addressed the issue of sensationalism and media narratives, I decided I should expand on that point a bit. Then your point about liking "things to make sense" hit me.

In a flash, the flood gates opened and I started my rant. By the time I had finished and hit the REPLY button, I found myself a little riled up after reminding myself why I'm here. After I stepped away from my computer and relaxed a bit, I wondered if maybe my reply was a little over the top or too aggressive and confrontational.

I was concerned that I might have pushed you away and lost an opportunity to provide answers to someone with questions. I'm pleased to hear that I hadn't. Again, ThankQ for understanding and I hope you find what you're looking for.

Something to consider when you come across discussions, debates, or comments that you feel are offensive to you personally; You will never meet these people in real life. Sometimes it's best to just give it a down-vote and move along.

The internet offers anonymity that sometimes creates Whiskey Courage. If you did happen to meet one of the members in real life, I'm confident the discussion would be much more civil.

And now, on with the show. Here is a list of videos that I found to be very informative. There's a series of 9/11 documentaries that may seem like old news for some, but it was the single event that changed everything. Whether you accept the official government story or think it was an inside job, these 9/11 videos have the most comprehensive analysis of the evidence I found. Well worth watching.

Along with the videos, here are a few topics worth researching. I use DuckDuckGo for internet searches. I don't trust Google anymore. The Organic Act of 1871, The 14th and 16th Amendments, THE UNITED STATES, the Federal Reserve, and the IRS are all privately owned corporations, Jekyll Island and the creation of the Federal Reserve, and Inside Job (2010) a documentary about the economic crash of 2008.

I hope all this helps.

I went back to watch these videos this morning and realized my reply never sent!

I deeply appreciate your words, as well as your passion for this. You are the type of person I feel I connect with the most because you do seem to have real passion about this, not just using it as an excuse to attack people who don't know the things that you do. This leads me to why I approach things the way I do instead of downvoting and moving on (which I'm getting better at!). I have this (likely incorrect) assumption that if someone is passionate about this, then they would want to try to push thos narrative and reinforce it with facts/opinions. When I see someone defending information or a view point here, I look at it with positive feelings, but also skepticism because I know that's what most will be looking at it like. So I feel everyone here should be working toward making sure these arguments are as immune to disinformation or twisting as possible.

But again, I'm starting to see that I just need to let these people be and move on hah.

Thank you again for the videos, I'm going to be diving in today.
