Hi Folks,
Only joined up last night, and this looks like a decent platform for decent discussions on various topics that take your interest.
I was wondering, how did you get into the alternative media and how were you "awakened"?

My story is about 2011 I used to go for a lunchtime walk with a work colleague. We were both mainstream guys. Thought Icke was a nutter, bought into the left/ right mince (I was deemed left, he was deemed right), and basically got all our news from the mainstream. We would discuss what was going on in the world and more and more I would get the feeling that something wasn't right. That stuff didn't add up. I had a twitter rant one evening about it and a guy hooked me up to "Zeitgeist". I watched this with an ever increasing open mouth. As someone raised as a Catholic, but severely lapsed the religious part was simply brilliant. Then the next few items presented was again just eye opening. The "economic hitman" and the money system simply blew my mind at the time. It started to put pieces into the puzzle for me. it basically filled in the corners.

From there, I got links from that, started to follow many interesting folk on twitter. Then TPV, which I enjoyed and gave me exposure to Mr Allen and Mr Icke. 

I haven't looked back. I think that I am now "the nutter" among my friends and when I open up after a few beers, I can see their eyes roll. I aint a preacher, but I cant sit quiet when folk are talking mince. 

So, how did you get into the alternative side, and do you have any further links to folk worth checking?

Cheers.

GP.

Hi Giancarlo

I started in the environmental movement at the age of 15 so have always been seen as a nutter. Also did a lot of research back in the day on the Kennedy assassination, I've never believed the official narrative on that one. And gradually learnt more of the truth about the world from people I met or had contact with, things I read and in the last couple of years from the alternative media too.

Definitely would recommend you go to the corbettreport.com and check out his archive. He has done some amazing research on so many topics. Also a good idea to look up any articles or videos on the Federal Reserve and how money is created, that was a real eye-opener for me. I enjoyed Zeitgeist too and another film I would definitely recommend is "Everything is a Rich Man's Trick", fascinating.

Welcome to the forum Giancarlo
There is a thread called
Interesting You Tube films and another called
Recommended People Reading and Websites
Where some names and items are shared.
I suppose it depends on what subjects interest you, but there is some great stuff on various subjects.
Hope you find some material that interests you

Well, for me it was listening to Howard Hughes and his ‘The Unexplained’ radio show which was on Talksport many years ago. The show covered a mix of many different subjects including the paranormal, science, technology, mysteries, ufo’s and conspiracy theories. Notable guests included David Icke and Uri Geller.

Then, suddenly and without warning it was abruptly taken off air with no explanation given. You could say it was Unexplained. This was a real blow as at the time there was no other show quite like this one in the mainstream at least. It made you wonder why it was pulled. Thankfully, in 2006, Howard Hughes started up his show again by broadcasting on-line and to date there are more than 300 podcasts available. The show was then resurrected fairly recently and can now be found on Talkradio on Sunday nights for three hours from 10pm.

I’ve only recently started to listen to Richie Allen but believe that he along with a few others plays an important, crucial role in exposing the continual lies and manipulation occurring in the mainstream on a daily basis. Many subjects covered can be distressing, however I’d rather have the brutal truth than be fobbed of with a load of rubbish. It’s just not good enough relying on say the reporting on the BBC or other stations/media as they will simply tell you what they want you to hear.

Anyway, I think that this year is going to be pivotal - huge upheavals in the financial sector is on the cards which will make the 2008 crash look minor in comparison. It’ll be interesting to see how the mainstream handle this.

Cheers guys for the replies. A
CT, I will check out the "Everything is a Rich Man's Trick". Thanks.
Awakened53 I will check out the thread in question.
Steve, Aye, theres a few guys I now work with who love Martin Armstrong and his predictions. I believe Armstrong is predicting the financials are going to be a wee bit crazy this year.
