#1 IDW A PLACE FOR STORIES IN SEARCH FOR TRUTH... I have been thinking of how to use IDW and the unique community here. Here could be a place where I feel comfortable to write in public about how the Internet changed my life since my retirement. The Internet is a powerful tool. Through a series of discoveries, one connected to the other, clicks and streams, comments, likes and content, all producing a living colourful tapestry of shock and awe.

It has been three years since I tumbled down what has been called the rabbit hole. Like Alice falling into a world so bizarre it had to be a dream world. Or was it? I had retired and time was at a premium. I remember when I first enter the corridors of the Internet. In mid-December 2015, I happened upon an address by the Hon. Paul Hellyer

When I began navigating my way around You Tube I had no idea what a goldmine of information was at my fingertips. Before I retired there was no time for such frivolous entertainment. I knew very little about the site and thought I'd find only silly videos about kids, kittens and kooky antics. I was wrong.

I got hooked on digging for truth treasure that winter of 2016, and little would stop me from navigating my way from one bit to the next morsel of intrigue. Reading and research took on a role in my retired life. I began to realize that the world I lived in wasn't what it appeared to be. My local library where I was never a stranger became an even more familiar place. Books out of my ken were borrowed as I found myself eager for proof and reference for what I was seeing and hearing on the net. Ancient literature, poetry, history, biography's, science, astronomy, mysticism and more. My Grandmother's big white Bible ended up by the side of my bed. (More about that later)

It wasn't long before I realized this new information was not everyday conversation starters and I had landed on a far-planet few had traveled to or wanted to reach. Knowing when to speak of my findings or my new discoveries has been learned. Now I'm very careful of when or to whom I get into discussions with. Learning the hard way, friends and family step aside while tagging me as a conspiracy theorist or kook. Being red pilled as they call it, can be a lonely experience.

I'm thankful for the journey. How I see the world isn't how anyone else sees. We all have our unique knowing. Some getting closer to another's truth than others. Expecting another person to take on your personal beliefs and ideas is fool hardy. But to keep locked up what is swirling around one's mind only leads to frustration and even anger. Writing works wonders.
These days we have to be careful what we say, where we say it, and to whom. Our freedom to speak our minds and our truth is waning away through a complex and complicated plan as mysterious as any mystery can be. I have come to believe there are sinister powers at the helm of this ship we call earth. We are in a war fought between good and evil. Evil appears to have the upper hand.

I would like to write here about parts of my journey to what I have discovered, what I think and what I know.

So, let's see where this leads us. We'll venture down memory lane to where, like Alice in Wonderland, we
navigate through a labyrinth of disbelief in search for Truth.
