This has been one of the most interesting times of my life.  Witnessing what you describe.  What is interesting to me is you either see it or you don't.  The worldwide coordinated censorship in the West is amazingly alarming.  And i understand that looking at the system as a polarized continuum of left<-->right you end up with one side WANTING what the news is saying to be true since it harmonizes more closely with their worldview... so from my viewpoint many are under a sort of spell.

I was under it too for quite some time.  My own journey in this regard is something very powerful that I cannot really explain to others without them thinking I am crazy... so usually I keep my mouth shut.
