Wow. Thats a tough question, especially to someone like me who can’t remember what all happened yesterday. But I guess Id have to say it was close to the time I began questioning the governments role in the assassination of JFK. How the CIA was directly involved in all the so called Drug Wars. The sending of countless men and women into wars without obtainable objectives nor a “need” to win. There really isn’t enough time in the day for me to list all the bulls**t Ive come to know in my lifetime. Just a complete waste of human life, destruction of property and billions of dollars spent on needless wars. All for nothing. And now we can’t even vote the scum bags out of office because they have totally hijacked our voting systems. It was not long ago that I truly began to understand why GOD only allows us such a short time here on earth….I mean how much can a man take??

2016-17, watching the media just blatantly lie to the American public about Trump, all day everyday, and then to watch “Republicans” in our government pretend to believe it, so they could push back against Trump.

I had known the media was biased, but seeing how they distorted the truth to make Trump look bad was pretty eye-opening. Just blatant lying and propaganda, 24/7.

Then to see “Republicans” attack and back stab Trump was really a game-changer for me. Trump was sincerely trying to do whats best for the country, and to see so much push back against that was revealing. I was kinda like “Oh, ok, well our government is no less corrupt than any other.”

The anti-Trump Republicans are what opened my eyes to the fact that the 2 party system is a facade. Its the Uniparty, and thats it.

Great question!

I have known since I was a kid that the government would lie about anything to do with abortion, and so I’ve been suspicious of “public health” all along. But as to the breadth and depth of lies I see now – part of it started when they shut everything down to “flatten the curve” but if you know any math you could see the curve was already going to flatten, much like as soon as you toss a ball in the air you know its rise will slow and eventually it will fall down.

Many things about COVID were clearly fake (I knew something about the 1918 flu and that it wasn’t the same) but I didn’t see why they would create such a big lie as COVID even though people pointed out it was an election year – the lie was too big for the election. Until a couple days after the election when I heard President Trump say the election had been massively stolen. As I looked into it and found that was true, that explained a lot. But as I dug, more lies appeared on every level, and it all seemed to go back to something I knew was the case, that our money system was headed for a crash, but I never imagined anyone could or would try to hide and deflect the crash on that level.

I’m still not sure I have found the bottom of the lies, but there is no level of government I trust out of my sight anymore.

My “moment” was back in 1974. I was station at Fort Bragg, NC and watching the news. A plane flew over the reporter and the reporter stated that is was a C-130 (but it was obviously a C-141). For those not in the know, a C-130 is a 4 engine turboprop with a straight wing. A C-141 is a 4 engine JET with swept wings. There’s no way to confuse the two. From THAT moment on, I begin my distrust of ALL in “authority”. Today, I trust even fewer.

The second time when the Marxist Obama was elected president woke me up. It was then when I began to have serious doubts if America would survive. My doubts have increased since then.

A brief, 30k feet view of my political being, would be that I’ve always been suspect of our government. I was 9 or 10, when Kennedy was assassinated and that conveyed to me, even then, that things with our government were not right. But, the Bill Clinton lying under oath was my break point. The uniparty pushing NAFTA, the GOP lying to the Tea Party, which peaked my suspicion of republicans. My take on politics today is we really don’t have politicians any longer, we have lawless oligarchs who trash our rights everyday.

For me, a sequence, building blocks:

• As a bit of a history buff, on my own read “Gulag Archipelago” in the mid-seventies. In spite of the then-zeitgeist of being down on the USA (inflation, Vietnam defeat, Watergate), it made me realize that this is a blessed nation, and that I was blessed to have been born here.
• Reagan renewal
• Obama election and reading up about him (Trevor Loudon’s work and Stanley Kurtz’s “Radical in Chief” and Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”). Made me realize that Communists / minions of Satan were still active, powerful and working to overthrow our nation, albeit they were doing so in a way intending that most would not realize that a Collectivist-Communist takeover was underway until it was too late. THIS RECOGNITION WAS CRITICAL; IT’S INFORMED EVERYTHING SINCE.
• Recognizing that at root those folks are minions of Satan. That Collectivism in all its forms – Climatism, Socialism, Progressivism, Fascism and Communism – is a Satanic evil manifesting itself as a political movement.
• The coup d’etat of November 2020, in which those forces (I call them the “Globalist-CCP Axis”) installed the unelected Biden-Harris Junta into the White House. WITH the complicity of military leaders, the “intelligence community” and most of the media (including Fox News).

I recently started a Substack (“American Discerner”) to try to help build awareness about what’s underway, before it’s too late (if we’re not already past that point).

This may all mean I end up with an FBI SWAT raid at my house sometime in the future, and that I’m placed in an “American Gulag.” I’m not hoping for that, of course. But I am determined that when I someday face my Maker, he’ll agree that I did what I could to maintain the faith, and to save this Divinely-inspired nation from the minions of Satan that currently control it.

I have been paying attention since the early 1960’s. My understanding however is much more recent.

Listening to RUSH LIMBAUGH in 1985.

About 15 years ago I read an editorial by the President of Furman University, Dr. David Shi, regarding Georges Sada. That lead me to read Sada’s “Sadam’s Secrets.” I became amazed and awakened that neither the Left nor the Right actually was interested in the truth regarding WMD’s.
I have questioned almost everything since and I am grateful for the clarity provided by CTH. May God Bless You!!!

Early 1990’s. On my way to work in a crew vehicle. Someone tuned the radio to an AM station at 12 noon. Someone called Rush was talking.

Easy peasey…I came up on a vintage debate with Thomas Sowell being one of the participants. The just of the debate was the welfare state and it was during that moment I realized just how much we had been lied to. I had to start my journey of seeing just what ALL we were lied to about. D’Souza documentary nailed it. Bengahiz is when I begin taking a roll in politics as more than a bystander.

It was an incremental thing, starting in the early 1990’s while sitting in the devastation that the Northridge earthquake had caused to my home and watching the perfect grid of contrails(chemtrails) polluting the sky above me. Then, Ross Perot and Ron Paul and eventually leading to the Jade Helm(Mastering the human domain) exercises in 2015. Something was definitely not right.

I’ve always been pretty politically astute (or so I thought). I’ve always known Democrats cheat. It wasn’t until they stole the Presidency in 2020, and the subsequent SUPPORT of that action by the establishment R’s that I realized how truly corrupt the entire system was. It was about that time I started hanging around the Treehouse.

For me it was about 2005. My oldest son convinced me that a certain day in Septemper of 2001 was NOT as I had believed….
I’ve never looked at the world the same way since.

When Admiral Mike Rogers story surfaced that the contractors were running queries, and with the death of Seth Rich…both cover-ups were in my mind the catalyst to explore the rabbit hole where all I found is disappointment, shame, and everything else spun off if these events are never, ever, going to see justice. Professional politicians protected by life long bureaucrats on both sides are to blame for the hijacked justice department.

In the late eighties early nineties I had many subscription magazines like Time, Newsweek, Nat’l Geographic, etc.. Christianne Amanpour was writing her stories about the various wars in other countries. She wrote as though the U.S. was the worst country in the world. Article after article was so negative toward America. I began questioning all reporting at that time.

I was in my mid twenties during the Carter Administration and when we gave away the Panama Canal I became aware politically. Giving away a Strategic Asset like that indicated extreme stupidity in higher office.

When Bush was telling us there were WMDs in Iraq and then they never found any. Then when they started pushing Obamacare I knew it was big trouble.

For me it was the second year, first term of Obama.
I was NEVER into politics, grew up with the “It does not have anything to do with me!” attitude…
I was not big on history, Not realizing it always repeats itself.
I moved to a specific town to take advantage of the school system there, Then, Obama started building low income housing next to our schools, then at the time and we started getting more students per class room and on and on.
He really opened my eyes, so did Killery with Benghazi.

Such a great question. Thank you.

Ross Perot opened my eyes to Free Trade agreements and the vast damage they would cause to American workers and industry. In retrospect, I think he would say the damage is even worse than he thought it would be. Perot was the last President I voted for and I believe I had to write him in.

I was also an avid equity/option trader at the time. I paid close attention when Bill Clinton and Rubin put the final nail in our coffin when they removed the Glass Steagall Act and allowed commercial banks to trade in equities which of course would include margin loans based on 40x fractional lending. I thought then it would lead to a collapse which only took about 8 years. But as much as I detested the Clintons- it was Obama who destroyed our country. He was sneaky.

You see Obama is sneaky smart. He comes off like this great guy, telling his little jokes to get your attention, and then some BS for some secret agenda. When he fired the IG investigating Obama’s friend, Kevin Johnson the Sacramento Mayor, for misappropriating federal funds- I knew then he was going to be an asshole. When he gave all the 1000’s of crooked bankers, many who had donated to his campaign, a get out of jail card for all of the fraud they had committed in packaging and reselling home loans- I knew this guy could care less about justice or the rule of law. I think in terms of corruption, Obama eclipsed every President easily, including Nixon, with the likes of Holder and crooked Hillary. I am still not over Benghazi.

I was going out with a gal between marriages, a black gal. Good looking, intelligent, around 2010. I had heard her Obama worship once and let it slide. When she brought the topic up again, I let her tell me what a wonderful guy Obama was. Family guy. Then I asked about the missing thesis, the missing passport, the missing girlfriends, and a few other things. She got this resentful look on her face and told me not to bad mouth one of her own. When she called me the next day like nothing had happened- I ghosted her. Literally answered the phone, said nothing, and hung up.

The Kennedy election and assassination were the events that changed my perceptions about what was happening in the USA. Prior I was too young to read and see all the changes being put in place.

As I have aged and read more of the history of our Republic, I have come to believe the move away from the unique concepts that began this nation, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness began during the first of the Roosevelts, accelerated by Wilson, entrenched by the second Roosevelt and corrupted by a Congress controlled by Democrats during most of the years post WW 2.

Bush 1 & 2 were part of the go-along-to-get-along cabal. Clinton, BHO, and now Biden deliberately and with malice continue to diminish those founding ideals and besmirch the exceptionalism that so many ordinary, everyday fellow travelers believe is this nation’s rightful destiny. BTW, so do millions who flock to our shores, not knowing the evil that n0w rules DC and too many state capitals..

I was about 20 years old and heavily involved in a leftist political group. I noticed the group used words like “it’s for the people” and I would ask “can’t people make their own decisions? I sure do!” And they would say how much more enlightened I am and how much smarter I am than regular people. I distinctly felt like I was being manipulated and flattered. It was like a slap across the face. I knew I was being seduced by my own desire to be seen as smart and hip. After that I could see much better but I knew I also had an enemy inside my own heart that left me vulnerable and empty. A few years after that I came to know the Lord.

When I first read Atlas Shrugged. Late 1980’s.

My political awareness meter designed to sniff out a completely stinky situation pegged at 10 when the Clintons were elected in 1992. I didn’t know much about the man from Hope until later, but rather it was Hillary that caused me to go Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot. I first saw her Rodhamness rottenness during the Watergate fiasco and had an immediate visceral hatred for the haughtiness she constantly displayed. Then she disappeared from the scene (I had no idea she hooked up with Bill and moved to Arkansas). When she reappeared for the ’92 campaign, I watched and felt my stomach tightening. “It’s her! Just without the coke bottle glasses.” I said, and the revolting development started up all over again. I could never return to innocently believing that there would be good times and bad times, but in this country the good times would always outweigh the bad ones. We’ve been riding a downward spiral ever since those two reprobates appeared on the national stage.

Since hight school I had been an old style liberal political animal. I won the debate in high school on whether we should keep social security, voted democrat until Obama was running for his second term. It was during the debate on Obama Care when Pelosi said you have to pass the bill to see what is in it that opened my eyes. And it was clear that Obama was lying through his teeth when he claimed adding so many people to the health care system would lower costs that all the bulbs were lit. Since then I have been either independent or republican, a firm Trump supporter and totally against all the tyranny associated with COVID or anything else. Live free or die.

I’ve wanted Donald J. Trump to be President since 1999 when I was in third grade & I’ve got the “Trump 2000” campaign memorabilia to prove it! I owe it to my parents and grandparents for raising me right!

For me, I was all ready to roll with “Reagan II”- Ted Cruz. I had read the “Project For A New American Century”- I actually thought Pax Americana was inevitable, and thus a good idea.

A global empire with the US at the helm- greeted as liberators, the eventual democratization of the middle east, globalism- also an inevitability– so how could it be bad if we (the US) were in the driver’s seat.

The Trump campaign woke me up- “Lyin’ Ted” bothered me. Why “lyin'”? Low energy Jeb! was accurate. Most of Trump’s nicknames were on the mark– I never really thought of Ted as “Lyin'”– so I started digging.

I eventually stumbled onto this blog, to the “free trade” scam– realized Ted WAS lyin’ about a lot of things, but especially TPA and TPP– but, I still voted for Ted in the primary in Florida. THAT SAME WEEK, Ted Cruz…lied. He blamed radical Democrat domestic terrorism in Chicago on then candidate Trump. I felt sick. I wanted my vote back. I was then, and I am now– all-in on President Trump.

I don’t really have a timeline- and this is greatly condensed– but Lyin’ Ted’s “Chicago Moment”– as I refer to it– was a clear turning point for me. I read Hillbilly Elegy as a result of a recommendation from a liberal Democrat friend who was badgering me about why “we” all needed to vote for Trump– NAFTA, the rust belt, “free trade”, TPP, illegal immigration, and the opiate crisis– I’d never made the connection between all of it. A lot of old line Democrat friends of mine from back in Chicago (we escaped to Florida in 2013) were all switching to Trump and that got my attention as well.

It’s probably my experience with Lyin’ Ted– and believe me when I tell you– I was all-in for Ted– that explains why I’m not fooled by DeSantis.

Since birth. My father was an active Goldwater conservative. I knew about RINOs from an early age. Never did fall for leftist bull crap.

Cordite Smoke

I started noticing things that did not make sense for some time, but did not do anything about it. I was taught, and believed in, the goodness of the USA. When Obama was elected, and I saw what he was doing, I began to see that things were quite out of whack. How could congress let him get away with writing his own laws? Trump was a great return to America the Great, but the 2020 election put a final bullet into American goodness. And it went downward from there. Now, I just see the evil of American government. And you have to ask the question, why do the people sit a their backsides and let it happen? Well, I guess just like every other time in history.

When I was very young, late 195os, my uncle quit the CIA because he said it had been infiltrated. I grew up understanding that one needed to think for themselves and not blindly trust everything you hear or read in the media. I understood that there might be a deep state.

However, it was not until the Benghazi hearings that I realized that the people I thought were the good guys were either very ineffectual, or deceitfully putting on a sham.

It was not until I found The Conservative Treehouse, as Trump entered the picture, that I had my eyes opened to the Uniparty concept.

I thank God everyday for the incites shown to me by Sundance and the Treepers. Even now, although I think I am fairly aware, I still can get initially fooled by people like DeSantis, Haley, the crafty controlled opposition, etc. I sooo appreciate the background info and well researched facts provided here that set me straight.

God bless to all and stay safe.

I woke up briefly when GHWB talked about a NWO and a one world government.
I looked into Agenda 21, said it would never happen because America wouldn’t go for it, and went back to my life.
I woke up again when HRC and BHO squared off in their primary. That’s when I realized the dems were corrupt, and I switched parties.
When DJT decided to run, I backed him immediately. Then I watched a man, who I have been aware of most of my life, be attacked mercilessly and smeared relentlessly with lies and innuendo.
DJT threw the curtains wide open and I’ll never go back to sleep again.

Rush Limbaugh in the 80’s was my awakening. My suspicions were raised approximately 10 years later with the realization that this country was being run by unelected bureaucrats.

Driving south on the Pan American Highway in 1977. We drove from Southern California, through Mexico, Central America, and shipped our VW bus from Panama to Ecuador. We continued south to Tierra del Fuego. All along the way, we would stop in cities and buy the South American version of Time Magazine. For the first time in my life I witnessed first hand the chasm between what was being reported about El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, and later, Brazil. It was like two different worlds. That was my wake-up call. A left-leaning kid who graduated from Berkeley in the early 1970’s got a real world lesson in bias and gaslighting journalism.

The gimlet eye I developed in my year and a half south of the border has stood me in good stead over the decades. Some old classmates of mine think I’m just a cynic and contrarian. I think I’m a realist whose observations of my fellow man and the relationship between money and power has kept me on the correct side of many an issue. I supported Trump from day one. I knew Covid was bullsh*t from month two. The only problem is that what has been seen cannot be unseen. For the last two decades especially, I have had to be careful not to become the cynic I’ve been labeled. I wish I had a nickel for every time I have used the Pericles quote.

I was still in the military in the Bush and Obama years. I started to notice officers in higher leadership roles (GO/FO) were not the type of typical mold. They were not warriors – they were lefties in several positions. They were being promoted and chosen for their ideological beliefs.

When BLM tore up the city of Chicago and it was “justified”. When the vaccines became a religion. When our rights disappeared and the “nonsensical post-modern communist/Marxist/Maoist, once confined to academia, equity agenda” became the new national/globalist religion. So, a recent awakening… better late than never.

August 6th 2015. The first Republican primary debate. There was just something different about Trump. He was actually talking, he was dynamic and real. Until that point I had never seen a political act naturally. There was always something off about them, they were choregraphed, artificial, plastic. They said the right words but it was never genuine.
But with Trump a light went off in my head, I knew there was something special about him and his message. So that’s when I started paying attention.
I didn’t wake up until much later, I didn’t want to. Corruption was something that only happened in those other countries, not US. My civics 101 understanding of politics was enough for me. I didn’t want to see the ugly reality. Many times I turned away from seeing, even though I knew the truth was in front of me. I wanted to hold on to my childlike conceptions’ of the US. Until one day there was just too many questions, too much evidence and too many facts. I couldn’t look away any longer. So I stopped pretending. I looked at the horror of the world for what it is, and turned to God for help.

God bless, America! Let us vanquish the Marxist traitors in our midst. They make the world uglier and more oppressive by the day.

Bring back the light! You are the light!

Shine bright, my fellow Americans!

I have two memories of what started me down the path to awareness. The first occurred in about the year 2000 when I realized that the words “separation of church and state” did not reside anywhere in the constitution. That led to a quest to better understand what the constitution says revealing how far from our nation’s foundation we’ve strayed. The second incident occurred while watching Karl Rove – I believe it was on Hannity – tear down Christine O’Donnell after she won her senate seat in Delaware with the help of the Tea Party and Sarah Palin. It was then that I realized that the Republican Party was nothing more than the opposite side of the same big-government coin whose flip side is occupied by the Democrats. I have come to the point where some in my own family classify me as far Right Wing and a conspiracy theorist.

My moment is really many small moments, going back to my dad telling me in the late 1960s to take everything that I read (the exception being the Bible), saw on television, or heard on radio or in person with a grain of salt, that it was all presented with a bias, a point of view, an agenda, and was not the actual truth. I have long been a skeptic but admit that I have been suckered into voting for some awful people in the past. It is very difficult to maintain a clear mind in the midst of the barrage of misinformation from all directions and requires constant focus on God’s truth through His word.

It was a local house fire. Nothing unusual until they didn’t give the address during the live report.
They always give the address but here it was withheld and behind the live reporting was a group of ladies in Burkas?
The bulb was illuminated.

I’ll start off by saying that I’m what you call a”lurker”. I rarely post on any site and I do not use social media. My ahaaa moment came after my first child was born in 1992. Vaccines were the strike point. My husband and I started researching childhood vaccines and discovered that they weren’t safe or effective but our government was mandating them for the “good” of our communities and indeed the whole country. If they can lie about and cover up what is being injected into our precious children then what is to stop them from doing anything that they want. From corrupting our school systems to destroying our health care system. Everywhere I looked I found more and more evidence of corruption and deception. Twenty eight years ago we chose to opt out and we homeschooled our children. Unfortunately at this point in our lives we can’t opt out any further. So, we stand our ground and choose to fight back. I read conservative treehouse daily and have joined communities on Gab that support my beliefs (mostly as a lurker). Trump and the America First movement was the first event in a long time that gave me any hope that we could turn this country away from certain disaster. After the blatant election steal that the fourth branch of our government pulled off in 2020 with the full cooperation of the media my hopes for a brighter future are completely gone. I still have hope because God can do anything so I wait and prepare. God bless.

Mine was a few months after August 1966. The book ‘The Rush to Judgement by Mark Lane’ was published August 1966 and it was a few months after that when I was at my local library and the book was sitting on an end cap and caught my eye.

I was one of those who could not believe it when JFK was assassinated! Not in my country! We were not a third world country. This can not be true. I was off on a maternity leave with a 6 week old baby to care for. My boss called me a little before 1:00pm. “Carole, has the president been shot!” “Well, I don’t know”, as I’m fixing dinner.” My husband worked 2nd shift and would soon be leaving for work. I turned the tv on and there was Walter Cronkright, “Yes, the President was shot!” My world has not been the same since. I was glued to that small black and white tv with the rabbit ears antennae for hours and hours. I remember Lee Harvey Oswald saying “I’m nothing but a patsy” like it was yesterday, NOT 60 years ago this November. Every morning I watched the funny diagram waiting for the tv stations to come on the air and still was was watching every evening when the funny diagram came on when the tv stations went off the air. The only time I left the house was Sunday morning to go to church and I hurried back home so I didn’t miss anything. Yes, I was watching and I remember when they were moving Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby shot and killed him on the bottom floor of the Dallas Police Department building like it was yesterday, NOT 60 years ago this November.

Then I read ‘The Rush to Judgement’ by Mark Lane. some time after August 1966. Oh MY Gosh!! I could not believe what I was reading and for the past 60 years I have read everything I could get my hands on regarding the JFK Assassination. I do know the American people were not told the truth about what happened, how it happened and who all was pulling the trigger!! When I finished that book, I started locking my doors – day and night . . . .

April 1968 came around and Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN. June 1968 came s months later and Robert Kennedy was shot and killed in California. By then I had read more that one book and I was listening, watching and waking up and more aware. NO, things were NOT as the American people were being told!

Sometime in the early 2000’s I came across The Conservative Tree House. I have been a CTH “lurker” every since. I love Sundance and follow him every day.

Gradually, then all at once:

I believed the media that Nixon was a crook, and that Ford was an accessory after the fact via pardon.

Under Carter, I learned that “southern democrat” and “southern baptist” weren’t necessarily good things. By ’77 I was wary enough to decline an offer to lead the local “young democrats.”

Came of age, and voted for Reagan; on the assumption that a good actor would make a good president.

Bush and Rush in ’88: Rush first exposed the “media talking points” media as leftist shills; but not yet aware that republicans were complicit. “Gulf War I” was prescient… To this day, still don’t understand Rush’s support for “W”.

Clintons were evil, but I began to realize the republicans only put up token opposition.

Still I was astounded when Barack Obama came from nowhere to the White House. Concern about the right to bear arms led me to “Sipsey Street Irregulars” and Mike Vanderboegh. Eyes wide open ever since…

Hillary Clinton vs. the 16 dwarfs. I only knew of Donald Trump from the media, so it took a revelation from God (Jezebel vs. the “jawbone of an ass”) to get me to vote for him. I came to realize that President Trump was the best president in my lifetime, and second only to George Washington all time.

Meanwhile the rest of the political works opposes, Psalm 2. The times are Biblical. Prepare acccordingly.

I agree with Mark, Statrted realizing with Ron Paul and how they cut him off in the Prsidential dabates when he talked about all the U.S. bases around the world. Looked up and verified. Never liked the Bushes. My sister found the CTH and we were informed on the Uniparty. We never looked back. Read all websites and followed closely the Maiden coup and the lies of the western media. Unz review, Buchanan, Paul Craig Roberts, Alex Christoforou, Global Research, Vigilant Citizen etc.

As a NY’r , watching the towers fall on 9/11/01 , looking for anything positive in the following weeks, I thought that well as a positive outcome of this , we have a R as POTUS, there is NO WAY he is not going to shut down the wide open border and take an accurate assessment of who is actually here and what they are up to. I mean, if a handful of determined people can do this damage, what about the rest of the millions of “ghost” people walking around the country.
I assumed it would be a month or two before the gov actually started enforcing the law and not leaving us unprotected….. Well after a few months of waiting, nothing happened except the patriot act and the new rules that MY FELLOW CITIZENS and I were now to be treated like criminals , searched and herded to board a plane or travel.
I knew something was not right. How could the GOV leave our border completely open after what just happened? the answer is not what i was expecting.. So I started digging and reading late in 2001. Rush Limbaugh was a daily listen for me and alternative news was the only way from that point on..
Its a big club, and we aint in it..

The bill/hill show, but until 2020 I had absolutely no real idea of the level of political corruption running rampant in our country. GOD bless the Great Rush Limbaugh. We lost him way too early, and we surely could use him now. Bless you too, Sundance.

I believe there were several moments of clarity for me. One was definite George W. Bush standing beside the Resolute Desk pretending to look for weapons of mass destruction under the desk and laughing about it. It was sickening after hearing all of the lies Colin Powell told the United Nations.

Seeing the press defending all of Bill Clinton’s lies about Monica Lewensky with the constant narrative of “it’s a personal matter”.

The latest of course was 2016 when it was explained so well how the “splinter strategy” was put in place to give the Presidential nomination to Jeb Bush.

Late 80’s here. Can’t state I’ve ever had an ‘epiphany’ moment. My parents encouraged reading from a very early age. Books of Knowledge, and lots of Heroes vs Villains and what were likely termed ‘Romantics’ back in the day, so a strengthened conscience and awareness seem to always have been with me as a result. Very suspicious of governments since the Kennedy assassination. Pretty much always ‘curious’, so the wrongdoings have been apparent. Sundance’s Treehouse has been a truly remarkable furthering of my small bite of formal education. The clarity given to World events, here and a few other web outlets, is a True Blessing, and continues to stir my Critical Thinking. Frustrating as all this ‘today’s Evil is, my Wife and I continue to “Live our Lives” (as Sundance suggested long ago), and count our Many Blessings.
