We’re living in an empire of complete deceit. How do we insulate ourselves from all the lies? How can we strive for the truth of the world? What can we make of all the supernatural experiences taking place in this world? On this episode, we are joined by “the X-Man” John deSouza who shares on these topics and tells us about the perils of popular culture. Make sure you disavow, insulate and separate yourself from all mainstream media news. -John deSouza Takeaways There are two steps to evaluating material that comes forward, you evaluate the credibility of the person and the credibility of the material. Popular culture is constantly putting out hypnotic programming. Investigators have to follow the investigation, follow the clues, but then apply their own knowledge and experience to what they’ve learned across hundreds of other cases. At the start of the show, John shared how he got started at the FBI and the supernatural experiences he’s had. Next we talked about the dog walker revolution, and why you need to avoid mainstream media. We talked about pop culture and the effect it has had on us. John also talked about how investigators evaluate information, and the two-tier credence test. Towards the end of the show, we talked about the Wachowski brothers, and how the Matrix was made by mistake John also shared; Why is he called the X-Man How to strive for the truth of the world What's happening in Antarctica The double trick of Roswell Why Jupiter Rising is the story of the Universe Popular culture is constantly trying to control our minds, and it takes conscious effort and choice to unplug ourselves from all that. If you want to find the truth, you have to do everything in your power to disavow, insulate and separate yourself from all mainstream media news. Withdraw from it, don’t trust it and don’t listen to it. We need to break away from the lies, and help each other find the truth. If you don’t, you’re stuck and under the control of forces working against our own enlightenment.
