Growing up I've always wanted to know why we were here and what the purpose of this reality is. I think most people share the same feeling. When we just live our lives going to work, paying bills, and getting our five minutes of happiness everything seems normal. If you take a second and remove yourself from your surroundings and look from outside the box, you may come up with a different perspective. People come up with their own opinions and what they think is the truth. Most of the time it isn't from critical thinking, it stems from gathering things they have heard on TV, read in the newspaper, or friends. People believe they have a good understanding of how this world works a "scientific" explanation.

Asking Questions Means Learning

I've always been the type of person to ask questions, in my head. When I was in school I would never ask questions even if I had a question, I had really bad social anxiety back then. Since school was never for me, maybe it allowed me to open my mind to new ideas, I'm not sure. One thing I've learned is that the mainstream news channels don't give you any useful information. They only tell you things they want you to hear, It's all propaganda. If you take a few hours and do actual research on your own, you'll learn so much more. The news will spend two weeks on a subject that doesn't matter. For example, Donald Trump fired James Comey a month ago and the media still can't get over it.

Tin Foil Hat Wearer

Over the years I've looked into many conspiracy theories. I started with 9/11 and The Federal Reserve System. If you can see past the lies that were told on September 11th and that The Federal Reserve creates "stability" in the economy, you'll have no problem pointing out the rest of the secrets kept. A lot of people I speak with don't care about this stuff but want some truth in their life. Then when you start bringing up some truth people immediately shut down and don't want to hear or believe it. You can even show people proof and they still won't believe it.

Confusion

The elite have created a whole system of brainwashing. Television, movies, and news channels all plant subliminal messages into your subconscious mind. This is why if you are ever debating something political, people just quickly start shooting off talking points they've heard on TV. But when you start pushing them further they can't seem to remember everything they've watched. That is why some people don't have a chance against someone who has read up a lot on a particular subject. Most people are stubborn though and they'll never switch their beliefs no matter how much evidence you show them.

I've come to believe over the years that ancient societies had a better understanding of our world than we do today. I think science and the mainstream are completely off base and promoting a system that is a complete lie. There is a quote I like from the movie Catch Me If You Can.

Sometimes, it's easier living the lie
Carl Hanwratty

You Have to See it To Believe It

The truth is we are all living lies. The reality put before us is a lie. We may be able to vote for a different person to be in charge, but we have no control over the reality we are in. Remember most of the time when someone becomes successful it is because they went against the system or found the loop holes within it. How many stories have you heard of people becoming billionaires but dropped out of college. Children are pushed into going to college as soon as they step foot into a government controlled school. It's a great scam. The government provides the student loans, the colleges push up tuition prices because they know the government is paying, and the student gets mortgage a bad education. There is a trillion dollars of debt in these student loans. Before the government kids didn't have student loans and they could work a summer job and afford tuition without their parents.

The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. Steve Jobs

The founder of McDonald's, Ray Kroc, believed that it didn't matter how smart you are or how much skill you have, it was about being persistent in life. Never giving up. Those who ignore people who say, "you can't do that" are the ones that do it. It's as simple as that, never giving up. No matter how many obstacles the government and corporations put in front of us, they can be overcome by persistence. We are told not to question what we are taught, but to only ask questions about what is being taught. You could spend a day researching what is being taught in school and find all the lies they are preaching. It's hard to show people this because we all grow up in the same system. The elite own the education, media, and healthcare system and are able to make us believe there isn't a better way.

Research as much as you can

I try and wake people up, but again most people don't want to listen. No one cares, everyone is distracted and are worried about their car payment, medical bill, being on time to work, running around in circles. The system is setup in way where a lot of people don't have time to think about this stuff. If they keep us occupied with entertainment and stress no one will think of changing anything. It's sad, we could be living under much better circumstances. Our entertainment, healthcare, food, government, education, even our money is fake. Pick any subject that you believe to be true and read the opposite argument to it.
