I began to “wake up” about 8 years ago. Shortly thereafter I began to stop watching tv. A staunch Limbaugh conservative at the time, I quit listening to AM radio. YouTube and fb were new and I discovered Ron Paul. 
Lately I’ve been off of fb more and more and I’m noticing another pattern. Fb is the modern mind poison that tv was a decade ago. And for those blaming video games for violent atrocities, please tell me what games Hitler, Mao, Stalin and the Romans who tortured and murdered Christ were playing. Big media is the fourth branch of government and always has been.
