There was a guy who had a plan to create an internet market place, sort of like Amazon for hospital supplies. Patrick Byrne was writing about him and all the crap thrown at him and his lawyer. I had already decided that since I couldn’t keep up on every thing, to focus on healthcare and I knew a lot about the history of congress ‘fixing’ the healthcare racket. When the senator from Illinois got drafted to be the Manchurian President, I noticed his wife was getting paid a bus load of money to be the racist interface for healthcare at the university in Chicago. The more I read the more I realized that we were looking at the creation of a cabal, for which healthcare was just one revenue stream, that would take down our country from within, all the while claiming to just be helping us. At this point, I don’t even really believe our government is salvageable, although most days I have to believe that it is just to keep going.

When Joe the Plumber questioned Obama

I would say that the Clinton White House Travel Office imbroglio introduced me to the corruption that was coming. I knew less about Lyndon Johnson in those days.

I had several stages of awakening.
After graduating from college, I started listening to Rush in 91.
The 92 election, which I voted for Perot which split the Republican vote ( 25 yrs later Sundance clarified this for me) and allowed slime bag in with 33% of the vote.
The election and reelection of Obama.
When I found the Treehouse 2019 and the election of Trump, were major clarifying turning points, which began the reflection on the last 30 yrs.
I’ve always been optimistic, a glass half full type, but now that I’m fully awake to what is happening to our country, constitution and the rule of law, I…..

I suppose I started questioning things back in the 60s. I was in high school then and it seemed like the generational shift was so huge it would never be resolved. School spent an inordinate amount of time patrolling the length of guys’ hair and girls’ skirts. Seems like I argued constantly with my parents, Dad was a WWII vet and he and Mom both experienced childhood during the great depression. Their feeling was you do what the government tells you, end of story. Much later in life, I worked for a news outlet. I was hired because I had no news experience and could bring something new to the table. My background was advertising via an art degree. That got a lot of people’s backs up, but I was mostly surrounded with people who had similar experiences in their youth. Can’t remember for sure how I found my way to the Treehouse. I think Treehouse may have been mentioned on another site. Cross pollination is a good thing; that’s my advertising background coming out!

Started listening to Rush in the late 80s. Never turned back. It’s been one hell of a ride.

Hot mic: 2004
IL senator Obama running for US senate caught on camera (ABC7?) after a stage appearance in Chicago.
Man walking with him in the dark backstage (may have been his opponent, Jack Ryan) says:

‘You weren’t even born in the United States!’
Obama cockily replies: “Hey! I’m running for Senator; not President!”

That clip spread like wildfire in Chicago, and was quickly obliterated. I saved the clip before I knew about embedding, so it disappeared. I’m sure many were able to embed it, but I haven’t found one.
From that night forward I researched what I considered to be the absolute proof that politics was proven corrupt, and still research hours a day. I’m very excited now because I believe it’s a gift to be alive at this time with everything about to crack wide open from woke to awakened!
Love the TreeHouse!!!

I have always been aware snd watching but I started to question what was going on -big time- with Patriot Act /TSA rules – then and don’t laugh – HPV vaccines.

In the 1980s I realized the media and Democrats were acting in concert to constantly berate and criticize President Reagan. With Obama’s election, it became clear the national mainstream media were the Democrats’ propaganda partners. Today, with rigged elections and a corrupt FBI and Justice Department, I fear for the survival of our once great America and our Constitutional Republic.

December 1990: Wrote an anti-socialist term paper for a political science class. Teacher freaked out, gave me an F / incomplete, and when I tried to explain the argument, he shouted, “The paper meant nothing — NOTHING!!!” I was like, “We’re not in America any more.”

Ended up leaving that private east coast school for a public, flyover school, and a professor there wanted to read that paper. He did and said, “It had some issues, but you’d have to be pretty low to give a first year student a B on a paper like that.” I said, “B? He gave me an F!” The professor then apologized to me on behalf of academia for this socialist nutcase’s behavior, but those kinds of cry-bully leftist professors are increasingly the norm.

My moment was shortly after Trump entered the primary in 2015. The media was slamming him for being rude to John McCain’s “status as a veteran”, or something like that.

I’d never payed much attention to politics, and didn’t know much about Trump, but this seemed pretty out of line. Had a few extra minutes on my hands, and, out of curiousity, looked for the original video clip of him saying it. Turns out it was nothing horrible like the reporters said it was. Just honest, straight shooting Trump.

Well, that was fishy. I started fact-checking the media’s coverage of Trump over the next couple months, and came to the *shocking* conclusion that the media wasn’t there to report facts, but manufacture a narrative.

Found the Treehouse a few months later.

When in about 2013 I read Diana West’s American Betrayal — but for me it was a long time coming. In junior high, 50 years ago, my chosen topic for a classroom speech was about The House Un-American Activities Committee.

I guess I was born a skeptic and distrustful of government power; among. my preferred reading — even at that time — was history.

Respect for authority was in my bones, but tyrants and bad kings liberally peppered the pages of my reading of history; and I had no illusions about the propensity of human beings to greed, lust, and power — especially if given the opportunity to exercise their pernicious pursuits.

I always thought I was paying attention since my early 20’s during Regan’s two terms. When I finally “woke up” was during Obama’s second term. After the GOP won the Senate (after winning the House earlier) their only message after that win was ‘We can’t do anything unless we win the Presidency”. Even after Trump won the GOP reaffirmed to me they were indeed a huge part of our country’s problem.

I was in seventh grade. My local newspaper was doing a series on the New World Order.

I have never been one to trust anyone but Jesus Christ, and it was quite easy for me to believe what they were asserting because I know the human heart is desperately wicked. My parents separated numerous times in my childhood with my dad having had numerous affairs. In seventh grade he had left us again, this time taking half the house with him. In the midst of that I was made aware of satanic ritual abuse within my extended family. My entire family was fractured and I was isolated. I am also autistic.

Having read that series, knowing that it has always been Satan against Jesus Christ, I have always watched, knowing it would ultimately come to a head. We’re not there yet but we seem to be close. I haven’t kept up with the political aspect as closely as many if not most of you here, but I also see it in other facets of society that many seem to be oblivious or even in denial as to the intentions and misdeeds of “respected” institutions and organizations.

Thought provoking!
First I thought when Trump declared and the world went rabid with hatred…then I thought no, when Obama won the senate, didn’t do squat and took the presidency…
But no, even earlier…NAFTA.
NAFTA is when I started really questioning our government. I remember the moment I heard on the radio “That giant sucking sound” of jobs leaving the country. Ross Perot I believe, I supported him as president too. He was demonized, ridiculed…
We saw a similar thing with Herman Cain, media hated him, I loved the idea of a business man running the country, so I supported him too. That’s probably when it became more clear to me how the media manipulates.
And Trump, the treatment that man has received further pulled the blinders from my eyes!
I’m sure there’s many things I’m still blind to, and looking forward to further awakenings!
I’ll keep my spot on the branch with eyes wide open.
Thank you Sundance for all you do!!
God’s peace to all.

I questioned everything I thought I knew when I saw how RFK Jr always knew.

RFK Jr has been fighting this battle for a long time and knows very well how the game is played. He had a front row seat to view the lengths the deep state will go to to get their own way. The Vax agenda hit “Warp Speed” with Covid, but he had been speaking on behalf of families for a long time that watched their children get injured and then be gaslit by the medical community. It’s the exact same playbook their tool Fauci used with AIDS and with the flood of childhood shots since the vaccine immunity shield was deployed in 1986. The data exists that shows long term health outcomes are better in unvaxxed children. But the CDC and powers that be manipulated, censored, marginalized and silenced RFK Jr from getting that data out to the public. Sound familiar?

I already knew the whole vaccine agenda was corrupt to the core from observing my dogs. One need only look at our dogs to see vaccine damage. Vets push vaccines and annual boosters without any regard for weight differences or natural immunity for diseases that are often harmless or rare. Look up the data from the Rabies Challenge that shows immunity for rabies lasts at least 7 years. Titer tests show my dogs immunity to the core shot diseases are still strong every year when I refuse the booster shots they are pushing. As a result of over vaccination, most 5 year old dogs are now riddled with allergies, autoimmune diseases and tumors. The cancer rate in dogs is over 50%! A healthy, unvaccinated dog that eats a natural diet of raw meat should live well into its teens. Over the last 15 years, my 6 minimally vaccinated large dogs are healthier and lived longer lives than the average vaccinated dog. I witnessed this with my own eyes and they were the only control group I needed to know RFK Jr and all the “crazy anti-vaxers” were right all along.  So I started questioning things when I began reading about vaccines 15 years age, but knew I was right before Covid hit.

I started following RFK Jr closely when all the Covid crazy started. He led me to all the brave doctors, scientists and virologists who did speak truth out loud and put their careers on the line.

Based on simple statistical calculations, my skepticism of everything the Democrats (and now ALL politicians) say and my own discernment and intuition, I never once considered getting that clot and heart attack causing bio-weapon shot for one second. When we all sat by and watched them steal the election live on Fox News, I knew without a doubt the game was rigged all along and probably always has been. Take responsibility for you and yours. The rest is out of our control.

9/11/2001

It’s been a culmination of things over the years:

* NAFTA (marketing name: “Free Trade”) and the rust belt.

* Starting with Clinton and supercharged by Bush, a uniparty scheme to pit foreign guest workers against American citizens.

* Massive numbers of guest worker visas of all types favoring foreign workers over American citizens, undermining American workers, resulting in career destruction, layoffs, reduced earnings, deteriorating working conditions, and loss of the dignity of work.

* American citizens being fired and forced to train their guest worker replacements and Congress does nothing.

* Corporate America clamoring for ever more guest worker visas, falsely claiming labor shortages, while simultaneously having mass layoffs of their existing workforce. Pleas to Congress/President to put their own American constituent citizens first fail miserably. Congress sides with big biz and betrays their own fellow citizens, the very people they were elected to represent.

* Billions upon billions spent on foreign interventions around the world while American citizens needs at home go unmet. Congress/President acting as if Americans should be the world’s policeman and, with no right whatsoever, forcing their views/rule on sovereign nations with no desire for peace. The death, destruction, and sorrow brought by these interventions.

* Sky-rocketing medical costs in America while foreign nations, getting free protection from American military (think NATO), use their military budget savings to give their own people reduced cost healthcare.

I commented earlier however, I was off the charts PO when I needed to comment/explain to my kids when my son 1o maybe 9 asked “ why did the president have oral sex with some girl?” Follow up… “ what is oral sex”… his sisters 11 and 13 at the time, all looked to me for an answer. My wife, don’t hold back honey….. I detest the Clintons and their spawn.

My undergraduate degree was perfectly and intentionally designed and laid the groundwork for understanding what is transpiring today. The degree was way ahead of its time, and I did not appreciate it until much later. I knew that lots of what I observed transpiring did not align well with the narrative provided. Sundance pulled it all together for me starting about 6 years ago. Thanks Sundance!

I really started to pay attention and drill down on the details when Obama showed up on the scene.

I didn’t have to think very long for the seminal moment in my life that changed me forever.

I was 8 years old and in third grade at a Catholic elementary school in northern Ohio. The day was November 22, 1963. The nun, who was our school principal, very emotionally, came over the loudspeaker in our classroom and said President Kennedy had been shot. A short time later, she came back on the loudspeaker to say President Kennedy had died.

I vividly remember being shaken to core with this news and I started to cry. A number of the kids in my class reacted the same way. I remember our teacher trying to keep her class calm as she dealt with her own emotions. Since it was nearing the end of the day, school was let out early.

I remember walking home, feeling sad and being in a daze. I ran into my neighbor, who was older than me, and she was crying. We both walked home together.

My next memory was of my mom, she had come home from work. She was crying and very distraught. My next memories were watching round the clock news coverage on our black and white Philco television with our whole family. I remember Oswald being shot by Ruby, which I witnessed on live television. I remember the beating of the drums, the horse drawn hearse and long funeral procession. I remember the devastated looks on the faces of the President’s family and friends. These images have been seared into my mind forever. I was eight years old. My life had changed, and it would never be the same.

As I grew older, other important moments were the Vietnam war, President Johnson (“My fellow Americans, I come to you tonight with a heavy heart”), President Nixon and Watergate, President Jimmy Carter and gas lines. All leading to positive light of President Reagan, then onto the Clintons, Bush and Obama.

All through these years I remained aware and skeptical. President Trump gave me tremendous hope. But what was done to him by Obama, the Intelligence communities and the so-called Justice system destroyed that hope. “Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?”

Lately, learning that our own CIA was more than likely behind the assassination of President Kennedy, has made me question my own patriotism. Was our country ever what we thought it was? Were they behind destroying the innocence and idealism of that 8-year-old boy?

Knowing what I know now, and being in later years of my life, my faith in the Lord is the only force that sustains me and keeps me safe. HE is all there is.

It came in waves for me (greatly assisted by Ron Paul)… but I think I can place “the moment”

By 2010 I was 22yrs old and I realized that Bush, Obama, Hillary, McCain they were all the same person. They said different things but they believed in exactly all the same things. Anything they pretended to disagree on was ‘chaff and countermeasures’. Today we call that the “Uniparty” but discovering that at the time was shocking to me. I went back and visited all the great American ‘conspiracy theories’ which of course weren’t conspiracy theories at all. That took the blinders off so that I could see the moment when it came.

The ‘moment’ was sometime around 2014. I’m already a jaded individual from what I wrote above, but I can’t help but notice the homosexual movement gaining hurricane force. Every commercial, every television show had these wildly gay characters. Pride day became pride month. Gay marriage and gay adoption was pumped constantly.
I knew 1.3% (which was consistent over US history) identified as homosexual, so the force of this made zero sense.

That was until the beginnings of a mass push for transexuals came forward that I connected the dots. They were introducing this idea to us that a man could be a woman and vice versa. That you had to call ‘him’ a man or recognize that ghoulish and grotesque thing was a woman.
And at that moment I realized where this was all going. Legalized and accepted pedophilia . It was also a test run on everything else. If the public could believe in transexuals then they could literally be made to accept anything else. I knew the gloves would entirely come off one day soon.

So yes, it was the tranny push ultimately aimed at sexualizing children that blew the lid for me and there was no going back. There was officially no more of ‘not noticing the marionette strings’

On January 1, 1966 the subway motormen and bus drivers in NYC went on strike. This was followed by numerous teacher and garbage collector strikes. I was 13-15 years old during these walkouts. My initial reaction was that public employees shouldn’t be allowed to strike because their beef was with the city, but they were paid by the public. In theory the public was represented by the mayor and city council, in practice, the taxpayer was completely shut out of negotiations. After the strikes, the public employees successfully petitioned to be paid for the time they did not show up to work. They also got a series of raises, so their behavior was not only tolerated, it was rewarded. I began to question the entire notion that there could be public employee unions and that strikes of these kinds would be tolerated by government and the taxpaying public. I haven’t looked back

The question is how/what are we going to do to not only put an end to this coup but to make these fascists pay dearly so they don’t attempt this again for a very long time?

Age is relevant. I’m mid 50’s. Every generation has a “guy”. For me on Night Shift it was Art Bell, but Alex Jones promoted Joel Gilbert’s “Dreams from my real Father” back in 2012 and Aaron Russo’s -Freedom to Fascism woke me up. Even if some of these movies and books got some of it wrong, they exposed the Corrupt FILTHY LIBERALS. Mark Steyn’s books, and Ezra Levant’s SunTV, now Rebel News are hero’s of mine.

FOR 10 Years, Sundance and the TREEHOUSE family haved honed my skepticism.
WOLVERINES!

I was never “normal” I saw the earth day protests in 1970 as a bullshit excuse to skip school, and impress the babes. I thought the earth is not a risk, the only thing humans can wipe out is them selves. Live on earth has survived billions of years and many catastrophic events.
I went to school, worked, raised a family. I knew that the leftist bullcrap was bullcrap, but was polite.
The global warming craze was what really fired up my bullshit meter. The correlation between sunspots and global temps has been known a long time, I became aware of it in the early 1990’s. With Svensmark’s cosmic rays hypotheses, a mechanism connected solar activity to cloud formation and cooling. CO2 dindu nuffin. And yet the AGW lies permeated the matrix. It took me years, but enlightenment has to reverse years of propaganda. Getting laid off in 2010 gave me more time to research. Truth one little piece at a time. I am not there yet, but I am not a catatonic NPC anymore.

I ‘woke up’ when the divine arrows were shot into my complacent brain thinking we live in a fair just and law abiding society. And then DJT ran for President and what started to unravel in front of my eyes caused me to wake up. My sister was a big fan of DJT and her passion and insights led me to start asking her questions and the answers were jaw dropping. I had never heard of George Soros. I had not involved myself with social media and a tweet was a foreign language to me. My sister informed me as to why DJT tweeted and then I went down the rabbit hole and my common sense was provoked and brought to high alert. The insanity that presented as DJT began to run for President provoked me to become active as opposed to passive. By the time the Scamdemic was underway I was dialed into my responsibilities to defend my freedoms and liberties if my life depended on it! Thank you for keeping the alarm clock alarming!

When I was 16 yrs old 1980 listening to Ronald Reagan articulate the ills of an overpowering government. I’ve been tuned in ever since.

From a young age, I have been a news and political junkie. I remember my father, a brilliant man, campaigning for Goldwater. As a child, television newscasts and newspapers were ubiquitous in our home. In turn, nearly all of my 8 siblings and I had paper routes. When I had my own route, I always read the paper before delivering them to my customers. I particularly relished the op/ed pages. The love of news and politics continued in adulthood. I watched all the newscasts and news programs I had available to me. I’ve been a conservative with a libertarian streak all my life, but I would read and watch news from all sides. Presidential elections were immensely important, and I’d read all I could, watch all debates, follow every poll; I was highly informed. Or so I thought. The morning after Obama won reelection, I couldn’t make it through a single newscast. I was being lied to. I’d been lied to for years, and it was now glaringly and painfully obvious to me. I have never gone back to mainstream news and publications. I follow online conservative sites, and I found the Treehouse in 2015. My beliefs and positions have not changed, but that jolt awake in 2012 changed my view of the world.

That’s an easy for me,w/out reading other commentary.When Lightbringer was anointed the Democrat nominee..An irregular outcome. Jr. Senator to the Oval Office..that’s when ..thx for all you are Sundance.

I dipped my toes in the water when I bought my first pistol when I was 21. I had always been raised around firearms, my dad is former law enforcement. I was pretty passive about politics and the world around me at that time as I was in a hard rock/metal band and didn’t care too much. Then in 2010, my daughter was born and shortly after I bought my first rifle… the flood gates opened and I realized how much our government was trying to weasel its way into my family and dictate how I raise my child. Not only that, but how a basic right for self protection that is not supposed to be infringed upon was being slowly eroded.

Jet fuel was poured onto that flame when COVID started and all the shenanigans that has happened with that; from cancel culture, erosion of free speech and religious freedom, and the blatant and emboldened acceptance of evil in our society along with what has been happening in the public indoctrination camps (public schools). Pulled my daughter out of public school and got her into a private Christian school with good conservative traditional values. I will never go back to being indifferent. Our very lives and children’s futures depend on us holding the line.

Monica Lewinsky and the blue dress

I started at 9:27 this morning, page 13 just in case anyone is interested.

George W. Bush (the stupider) TSA preventing me from getting on a flight unmolested.

It started with Obama. Then, when Trump announced he was running for president, I really started paying attention. The fact that Trump running pissed off so many people, I knew he was our guy.

Hi Sundance,
I think my moment of awakening has been more of a gradual awakening. I have twins that are 22 years old, and my youngest is 19 years old. During my daughters younger years, I was so busy working, going to school, completing an internship, and trying to be the best mom that I could be, that I honestly was not able to follow current events and politics as much as I would have liked to. I did listen to Rush every day, and watched Fox News at night during those days. But, I just did not have the time or energy to really dive deeper. I did have a few friends whom would share seemingly outlandish news with me, which almost sounded like conspiracy theories at the time, although I did always trust the sources of information, I never had time to research and verify for myself.
I have worked as a boots on the ground medical social worker and clinical social worker for my entire career, with many years working as a field based social worker in CA. So, I would say I have always had a feel on the pulse of the common citizen in the different areas that I have lived in CA, Alaska, South Carolina, and now Texas. I have worked with thousands of patients/clients over the years. Many years ago while working in an acute rehab and long term care facility in southern CA, I worked with patients whom survived Nazi concentration camps, patients whom survived gulags in the Soviet Union, patients whom escaped China, N Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, and many WWII veterans, Korean War Veterans, and Vietnam Veterans. I vividly remember their oftentimes heartbreaking stories, stories of survival, and the horrors of communism. There were many central themes that emerged when disucssing the horrors of communism-hopelessness, corruption, lies, constant fear, and ultimately horrendous death. It was after hearing these many stories, that I started to notice that the speech and language in America really started to change under Obama-the hate, division, lies, and corruption. Also, working as a medical social worker, I saw first hand how Obamacare destroyed the health care system, which prior to Obamacare was not perfect, it was far superior to Obamacare. While working as a field based home health/palliative care social worker, I worked with primarily older adults with various diseases and ailments, whom were moving into assisted living facilities or smaller homes, and downsizing. I frequently started to hear how thousands of homes in southern CA were being purchased sight unseen by the Chinese-many patients selling their nice homes in the Fullerton, Anaheim, and Yorba Linda area in SoCal informed me of this. Then, the continued decline and corruption under Obama, it seems all knives came out when President Trump was elected; this is when it seemed like all of the snakes came out and decided they would stop at nothing to sell our country out instead of ever permitting the legitimate president to return to the White House. I am now convinced we may not even have another election due to the corruption and evil that has taken hold in the country. We have a country that accepts blatantly stolen elections, and I don’t understand how anything can change or improve, when this is permitted. God Bless you Sundance for all that you do.

I started reading the newspaper, cover to cover, when I was 5 years old, in 1974 or so.
By the time I was 20 I could skim the news and quickly ‘realize’ what is important, what is going on etc.

I knew nothing. Not until 2016 election did I realize how warped politics is, and the extent of the constant scam.

There were key moments: The Comey July 5, 2016 press conference rationalizing why he is not prosecuting Hillary; the post-election win quick pivot from the media from pushing Trump/demeaning him as election drew closer to out and out calling him and any of his supporters Nazi fascists; the revelation of the Strzok Page texts, the constant nightly news’ walls are closing in’ b.s., all the way to the nonsense of Covid–where by May 2020, it was clear that most of the feds and governors were in it to destroy the economy and thus trump.

But perhaps the most important inflection point has been the discovery of this website. SD is not perfect, some of his treeper supporters are not perfect, but this is close to perfection as we can reach in the world of political analysis. I have learned more in 5 years here than I did in my previous 40 plus.

Thanks, SD and Treepers!

When reagan was shot, I thought, this is a pattern of behavior when some political groups cant get what want fast enough. After reaga we got bush for globalism. Clinton could only provide a penis. Bush 2 gave us a fear false flag to give us the patriot act. Obama weaponized bushs gift. Trump tried to get us back, but still to this day, hes paying for love of country. Now we are in bizzaro world. I pray we get back to……. well not sure….

I read Battleship Wisconsin’s post below and could virtually copy and paste. Each situation compounds on the last and once the connections are made, they cannot be unseen.

Sundance tied it all together for me back in 2013’ish with George Zimmerman’s trial.

Something just didn’t sit right with me about that whole thing early on, so I went searching for information. I found The Conservative Treehouse during one such search and the rest, as they say, is history.

I stared paying attention shortly after I got married in 1983, at the age of 22. I felt that my adult responsibilities required I keep up with news and current events. After some time, I noticed that the national news outlets uniformly failed to completely inform on a story, or provide answers to obvious question that seemed be unasked. I saw the same thing with weekly news magazines, and even general interest monthly magazines.

In 1990, my brother in law told me about Rush Limbaugh; he thought I would really like him. Some time passed, and I finally found the local station that carried his show. I was in my garage, getting to refinish a bunk bed for my 2 1/2 year old son, and the voice coming out of the radio is sharing that missing information, and answering those questions. I was blown away! I never did start my project, I just sat in the garage, listening to what I would come to regard as a master class in conservative thought and action. Not to mention the humor bits (I really miss those!). This was the beginning of my education concerning national politics.

Some years later, as I got past my timidity at searching the internet, I started visiting the websites of news outlets he used for his ‘stack of stuff.’ From there it was only a matter of time before I was navigating on my own, especially focusing on local stories that our metro area newspaper would not pursue after an initial report, usually involving the heavy hitters in our city. From there I started to follow state politics, which led to my sister and I traveling by bus to the 9/12 rally in DC, in the run up to the passing of the Obamacare legislation, which was organized by a northern Michigan blogger who had caught the attention of Andrew Breitbart (we are from SW Michigan). It was great to be with thousands of like minded citizens, friends, but I realized right away that the rally would never be enough. And the ensuing years have been a different master class, on the true nature of our political and media class. I don’t need to repeat what has been written here by Sundance, Menagerie, and all of the loyal commenter community here at the Treehouse, but I am grateful to have found this community.

I began to pay attention:

March, 2005 When the world witnessed the public execution of Terri Schlinder Schiavo by marked
dehydration after a Supreme Court ruling.

April 2, 2005 When Holy Father Pope John Paul II died. On his death-bed, he pleaded for her release
to her parents to receive loving care.

2016 “I will be your voice.” Candidate Donald J. Trump

One day in August,2005 (or six , maybe) I was listening to a radio station in my car when a McCain interview came on.
They / he said then that illegal aliens numbered no more than 5 million, but border records and NGO’s showed 11 million with 26 million more “living in the shadows” (remember that?).

So, later, I called the carpetbagger out on it. I had corresponded before, but rarely.
He was our AZ senator, and I didn’t get the response I thought I would get:

“Issues are out of synch.”
That was it.

I lived in AZ for about sixty years, child and adult. I even voted for the “bass-turd” for about six of his useless terms.
My wife’s family lived in the area of Willcox for forty years. The stories they would tell of groups of people moving through their private property in the dead of night became inflammatory after the hundredth account. More so when reports of theft were made, and there were a lot in the Sulphur Springs Valley. Lock everything down with double padlocks. They did little good except for the noise of breaking them.

I watched border towns Douglas, Naco, Nogales and Yuma and the BP for those districts struggle with an influx of a few hundred in the sixties and seventies, most of which were migratory but temporary field workers. What we have today is equal to a small town arriving at the border with no intention of ever returning to their homelands.

The repetitive squawking of liberals over time made impact if for no other reason that they did not address the facts.
But that day in August woke me up.

More than one signal point: 1. The 70’s, watching feminism neuter men (I am a woman and despise feminism for its overthrowing of traditional marriage and family). 2. Studying psychology and finding out how anti-God and hypocritical it is, as in getting paid by my “client” as I tell him/her what they want to hear; 3. the COVID debacle, as in seeing how brainwashed too many people are and how frightened they continue to be over a COLD VIRUS; 4. the overtaking of our country by endless migrants flowing over our border from way too many countries, transgender madness and totalitarianism/WOKEness at all levels of government; 5. my surprise that so many don’t seem to care about any of this!!

Let’s just say I have had so many experiences with the ‘political class’ starting as a young child that jaded my view of people who would seek office. Hence, I tuned out during the nineties to have and raise children, and then saw 9-11 occur and knew that I should start paying more attention.

My maternal grandmother was either the first or second woman ever to serve in my home state’s legislature, and my mother was not shy in associating herself with politics for awhile.

One of my most vivid memories as a child (3 years old) was of a politician calling her a ‘silly, silly woman’ for an incident in which I was ‘implicated’ . . .

My mother substituted any political aspirations she had at that time to turn her ‘strong woman’ persona into being a truck driver — with the backing of my dad (himself a truck driver) who had had to spend several years assuaging her confidence due to that politician’s remark.

And while that incident was my first memory of the ‘political world’, it was not the last: in the following years, I came to be ‘casually introduced’ to over a dozen more — in wide-ranging, non-political occasions — political people that have become well-known names to everyone on this site (and elsewhere!) . . . which has struck me as more than coincidental for a nobody like me.

Trayvon Martin. A microcosm of everything that’s wrong with so many aspects of our society. And I’m an attorney, so all of it was done in the context of my area of expertise and out in the open due to the political agenda. So it was also impossible for me not to completely understand what was going on. Found this site and all of the rest fell into place.

I voted for Ross Perot so I knew something was wrong back then. I think a couple major ponits put me over the top. L’il Bobby Corkers capitulation on the Iran deal and McCain’s thumbs down on killing Obamacare were instrumental.

After attending the March for Life, many years ago, I saw the news make hundreds of thousands of people vanish, as if it were a small gathering. I saw the media lie with my own eyes. And I asked, what else are they not telling us.

The Trayvon Martin stories on the Conservative Treehouse opened my eyes to this site, and to the possibility of getting the truth that the other media hide.

(1963)

I was 4 years old in November 1963.

One of the very few things I recall from those early years, is my father as he sat alone, weeping uncontrollably in the living room.

It was the only time I remember seeing him cry.

What I did not know; nor could have comprehended…

“If it had rained that morning; if Jacqueline Kennedy had not been with him; if the crowds to greet them hadn’t been so deep, slowing down the limo; or if the driver, hearing shots, had sped up and not down – those were the variables. Had any one of them been different then, perhaps, this edition of the November 22nd 1963 Dallas Morning News might not have been, in all likelihood, the last thing signed by the 35th President of the United States before he was shot and killed, riding with his wife in an open limousine in Dallas, Texas, at 12:30 p.m., that Friday noon.”

The “Warren” report…

“1964, two months after the publication of its 889-page report, the Commission published twenty-six volumes of supporting documents, including the testimony or depositions of 552 witnesses and more than 3,100 exhibits.”

Life went on….

(1975)

The first public release of the Zupruder film (link below), documenting the Assassination of President Kennedy, is just over 1 minute in length.

(Graphic warning)

An “Official” 889-page report, with twenty-six volumes of supporting documents, including the testimony or depositions of 552 witnesses and more than 3,100 exhibits.”…

🤔

In 1 minute…

It all became clear…

My awakening was kind of gradual. I didn’t buy JFK or 9-11 then the Clintons with Filegate, Chinagate, Whitewater and stealing the Whitehouse furniture turned me off to the Democrat party all together. I voted for Bush because he wasn’t Al Gore but I found him greasy and untrustworthy.

My gut told me Obama was bad news because he came out of nowhere and was propped up like a Messiah and I found him racist and condescending. Watched a show about his ACORN scam which was eye opening. I closed my eyes and hoped he would go away soon. Really woke up to how bad the complicity with media was when the media changed George Zimmer’s skin to make him appear white and then Obama’s war on cops and Ferguson. Comey’s disgusting exoneration of Clinton was obviously a coverup.

That’s when I started really researching every detail and why the entire media, democrat and most of GOP were squealing about Trump and in such an unprofessional and childish manner. Now I don’t believe a forking thing they say and have gone back to be research scandals of the past.

I’m not as sure how long I’ve been at CT but maybe 2016 or so?

Thanks, Sundance!
