Here’s a summary of the text with the requested annotations:
The author, Russell Sackett, details his journey of seeking truth beyond mainstream media, beginning around 11 and the Iraq War. Initially, he explored alternative sources like Coast to Coast AM hosted by George Noory, and Alex Jones, whom he initially perceived as a charlatan. He also consumed media such as the Zeitgeist films, Loose Change, and videos related to 11 truth. He recounts a growing skepticism towards events like Sandy Hook, the Aurora shooting, and the Boston Marathon bombing, believing they were misrepresented. His exploration led him to various thinkers and writers including Jordan Maxwell, Eckhart Tolle, John McAfee, Whitley Strieber, John Perkins, Ole Dammegard, Graham Hancock, and Noam Chomsky. However, he found that while initially enlightening, these sources didn’t ultimately lead to meaningful change, describing it as “smoke.”
His perspective shifted dramatically in the fall of 2019 after researching Greta Thunberg and discovering the Miles W. Mathis Updates website. He describes this website as a revelation, devoid of sensationalism and advertisements, unlike those of Alex Jones or Jeff Rense. The site, with its plain yellow background and a “cute kitty,” offered direct links to information on a wide range of conspiracy theories and other topics. He was initially excited and tried to share his discovery, but found that most people were not interested in the truth.
Russell Sackett then began to diligently read all of Miles Mathis’s articles, starting from the beginning and expanding his knowledge significantly. He was inspired to contribute his own articles to the site, despite his lack of formal writing experience, and has since completed several pieces, with others still in draft. He regularly visits Mathis’s site and a companion forum at mathisianhaven.wordpress.com, maintained by Swathy Krishna, which emerged after the demise of the Cutting Through the Fog forum.
The author expresses his admiration for Miles Mathis, affirming he is a real person, not a committee, who is dedicated to truth in an era of deception. He notes that Mathis faces slander and harassment despite his efforts and encourages readers to send him supportive messages. He believes Mathis’s content is world-class and greatly underappreciated.
