Agreed, but I originally bought into 9-11, the official narrative, despite having suspicions that it didn't all line up. What triggered me and first got me realizing that we were being played, was The Patriot Act, which was obviously the usurpation of our liberty and a Government power play.

What stuck with me during that time was A, how quickly The Patriot Act came into being, almost as if it was already there, prior to 9-11, simply awaiting the rollout act, which of course it was, and B, how so many people supported what was clearly a further limiting of our liberties. The irony is that so many of its ardent supporters and apologists got upset at the things it put in place, like the body scanners at airports and other invasive procedures and policies. If you're going to support something, then don't complain afterwards when you get it.

Also, as with everything, I was open to alternate views on the matter. I think that's where most differ, most people form an opinion and then refuse to waver from it as if their core essence rests upon it.

One has to continually ask Why/How/Who in order to ascertain how our entire civilization has been undermined.

To me the discouraging thing is that so few people actually want to know other than having it thoroughly explained within five minutes in Twitter-sized bites of information, which is obvious beyond impossible. Anything more than that involves effort, mental/intellectual resources, etc., and cuts into the time we spend amusing ourselves otherwise,

In short, priorities.
