Five years ago if someone were to tell me that 9/11 was an inside job I would have immediately thought they were a nut-job with no second thought to
even humor the idea that it could even be possible. It wasn't until I just happened to start watching "Loose Change" on YouTube out of boredom that
my eyes began to open. From there I was thrust into a path of discovery - 9/11 led to learning about the New World Order, which led to the Illuminati,
Bohemian Grove, Bilderberg, and so on. I was hooked. I saw symbolism everywhere now - in music, movies, all over the media. I started reading and
researching everything from the Luciferian Doctrine and occultism to MK Ultra mind control programming. Eventually all this began branching out to
Ancient Alien Theory and ancient mysteries and esoteric philosophies. Many books, posts, and articles later, I have become awakened to this world and
aware of it's ubiquity in my life everyday. I have been visiting sites like ATS for a while now along with two other favorite sites of mine,
Infowars.com and VigilantCitizen.com. I'm thankful for all that I've learned and continue to be fascinated by it all; I learn something new almost
everyday and I hope to hear how you came to discover this stuff as well. Thanks.
I am not sure what brought me back to the site, it may have been the mass animal deaths or ancient aliens, maybe the fukushima events.
I used to read the site years ago but was sort of religious and the site annoyed me.
I have found many truths here, and many possibilities. My mind is now more open and this site is partly responsible for that.
This site brings me information, hope, comfort and challenge. I did not find any answers in religion, I find my questions here though and have learned
how to reason and find answers which make sense.

The metaphor of "the rabbit hole" is perfect... and yes, chemtrails are a terrible thing and my mind continues to be boggled by the lack of
awareness of them and everything else that's going on in the world. But I'm glad more and more people are waking up every day.
Yeah, there will always be posts on this site that are ridiculous or false or that completely contradict our beliefs but there are even more
intelligent and informative posts - some real eye openers that make it all worth it.
Same... I've always been curious, a thinker. That's probably what led me to realize that the answers are within reach... only to be replaced by new
questions.
My awakening began with the reading of Near Death Experiences. (Everyone here that knows me is going - "Uhhhh, there she goes again with the
NDE's!"). But I found them to be very eye-opening. Secondly, I was led to a website by Steve Beckow called The
2012 Scenario in which Steve talked about the news of the day in a way that made sense. He did not conform to the "doom and gloom" 2012
scenario but to a transformation of the human race into a more peaceful and loving community. One night my guides (angels/spirits/higher-self/god/or
whoever it is that guides me) told me I needed to join a forum. I lurked here for at least a year before I actually joined. So now here I am!
Loving talking with people from all over the world about their views on the day's news.
Thanks for writing this. It's really interesting to me to discover how people "wake up." I find it really fascinating that 9/11 was the cause
for so many people's moment of truth---their "aha moment!" that led them to dig deeper into other things.
I don't remember a time when I wasn't aware that the world wasn't all it was cracked up to be...It's so heartening to hear that others are joining
the ranks. Here's to reaching critical mass!
hahaha yes, NDE's are very interesting... I have only read a little about them - it's fascinating to see the consistencies within each persons
story. I have also read about 2012 as a spiritual transformation and consciousness - the beginning of a new cycle. Very interesting.
Welcome to our side! I had my eyes open up over of all things being laid up in my house on painkillers for weeks after a knee surgery. I had a lot
of time on my hands, and a lot of gaps in my mind of reality and how things are the way they are, or at least how "we are told" they are, so I started
digging and scanning (I had been going to Georgia Tech, so access to a government depository was pretty rad). I'm about to bombard your thread with a
lot of documents so please accept my apologies if this is too much...
The 1917 Congressional Record showing that JP Morgan purchased the world media like a bastard...
Now...
From their quarterly pulication...
And then there's these bastards, who's members include Al Gore, Bill Gates, Queen Beatrix, Henry Kissinger, Ted Turner, Tony Blair, George Soros, and
many more..
Oh yea, and then there's these awesome accounts...
Good stuff, right? I'm so glad that I pay taxes to these madmen, right?
If your ready for more, check this insane video I made.. What the hell has happened to this country??!!

welcome.
My distrust of government started when I was 61/2 years old and wrote a letter to the Prime Minister.
I will throw out a thread one day about it.
If I can make a suggestion for some reading, I would check out The Law of One readings. Very much in the ancient
astronaut line of theories but packs a whole lot of philosophy, astrology, and physics in there as well. I've found it's made a very positive
contribution to my life, and it's free to read to boot
