If you stopped believing the mainstream narrative years ago and started getting your information from independent journalists on uncensored internet platforms, nothing in this book will shock or surprise you. But it may help organize your thoughts and help you explain to others, in simple rational language, the astonishing things you've discovered in the past few years which keep turning out to be true. However, if you still believe the majority of what mainstream media tells you, be aware that the surest sign that you've been thoroughly brainwashed is your unwillingness to question authority. A big dose of humility and curiosity might help you see and understand what's actually going on. And you might discover you can live a very different, healthier, more satisfying, and more meaningful life than the one they've been selling you. The 'awakening' I talk of here is what happens when we open our minds and eyes to see what is actually happening, rather than blindly believing what we're told is happening, and realise that the people who rule this world are most certainly not the 'elite' of humanity, as they like to think of themselves, or the gods they believe they can become with the help of modern science. Despite how they present themselves and what they tell us, they're more than averagely flawed men and women motivated by greed, personal pleasure, and a pathological fear of their own death. And the most successful of them are the most driven and ruthless who also happen to be the best actors at pretending otherwise. But they're not as powerful as they'd like us to believe. In fact they're only powerful if we believe them and comply with their dictates and false narratives. It's worth knowing that genocidal tyrannies are not created by tyrants, they're created by those of us who are brainwashed or frightened into willingly complying with things that, deep down we know to be wrong. And we've all been thoroughly programmed by the past sixty years of TV, cinema, and corporate-sponsored mass media. By late 2023, if you haven't yet realised we're living in a time of historical significance akin to the World Wars and the beginning of Christianity, then you really are well and truly asleep or living in denial. Humanity is in a momentous battle. But it's not the illusory political battle between left and right. It's a battle between truth-seekers and deceivers, between rational realists and irrational ideologues, between believers and atheists, between peace-makers and war mongers, and between those who love and those who hate humanity. But the majority of people today still think that anyone who gets most of their information from non-mainstream platforms on the internet must be badly misinformed. Most of these people will admit they're not avid readers, and are way too busy earning a living to do any research about things that don't really interest them anyway. So their entire knowledge of world events is from a lifetime of TV, movies, and newspaper headlines. They're not aware that you can get information direct from many well-respected, highly-qualified scientists, doctors, philosophers, political analysts, and experienced investigative journalists who happen to record and post their research, lectures, and interviews on uncensored, non-corporate-sponsored internet platforms. Whereas people who get all their information from mainstream media are listening to - and believing, because they speak so well and are the established voice of authority - corporate-paid actors and journalists, corporate-sponsored sportsmen, and corporate-funded (by lobbyists) politicians. So who is really likely to be misinformed?
