So I guess my question is, isn't it possible that a lot of these books and websites that you all get information from is lying to you the same way the corporate media is? Why do you put so much trust in these sources and so little on anyone else?
its not just an intellectual journey, it is a spiritual one. Not everyone is believing the same thing, in fact most everyone has their own private set of beliefs concerning all of this, and few if any ideologies match perfectly. People get emotionally attached to these ideas and defend them emotionally as well.
