I've stirred up some shit here recently, spoke to some privately, and stumbled publicly.

I'm a 40 year old man from the great state of Indiana. I've been with my wife for 20 years, and we have 3 boys. 4 years ago I was literally a Janitor, day after day, cleaning urinals by hand, emptying garbage, and mopping floors. Today at the same company I am an IT Systems Administrator. I fought hard for the American dream, and it happened at a special time of our history, more on that later.

I've been poor all my life, raised by a single mother, and had way too much responsibility put on me as the oldest child at a young age. My mother needed help, and I come from a stock that everyone in the family pulls their own weight.

I became a family man at 19, and worked my ass off to maintain a household. I've worked in a facility for profoundly disabled people. Showering people, changing diapers, feeding, shaving, brushing teeth, providing activities. I've worked in factories, warehouses, wood/cabinet shops, apartment complex handyman etc. All of these jobs just got me by. One day I decided I needed to do more for myself, and my family.

Our boys were old enough to take care of themselves, early teens. Time to go back to school. I got a degree in Cyber Security and Digital Forensics at community college. Nothing fancy. My wife bartended and waitressed for my last year so I could totally focus on my studies and stack certs. I did awesome. I was full of hope. I graduated in Obama's last year of presidency, 2016.

My dreams were soon dashed. I applied for everything I could, I knew I could get any job I wanted with my high marks and a stack of certs. Not the case. Every listing (which was few) required a bachelors or 4 years of experience. I had an Associate Degree, and no professional experience. I tried for 8 months to get a job with my efforts. Nothing. The thing about that 8 months was my wife became pregnant because I was slow on the draw. So, August of 2017 I needed to get ANY job, my wife couldn't carry the load anymore. I went to a temp agency.

"I don't care what it is, I'll do it". They had a job for housekeeping at a business in town. So I went and cleaned toilets for 9 dollars an hour. I did a good job, I had to, our family needed money. It's late 2017, the economy is starting to take shape under President Trump. I continued for another year, cleaning, cracking jokes, building relationships.

It's late 2018, jobs are sprouting up everywhere, fuel and necessities are cheaper, the Trump economy is a throbbing boner. My job can't fill help desk positions because of the booming job market. HR learned about my certs, my degrees. So, they thought fuck it, lets see what the shit talking mop guy can do. It was a great time in American history, such a sharp resurgence of American ideals, and it's redemption story. I again worked my ass off, and recently got promoted to IT Systems Administrator. This extreme transformation took place in the Trump administration, jobs everywhere, a bright future. So quickly we are now we are back to the bleak, and depressing era of paycheck to paycheck, and it's hard to deal with. It won't last long frens. Anyway:

I was awakened somewhere around 2008 watching 911 videos on youtube. I learned of Bill Cooper, Alex Jones, and David Icke. I was totally engulfed, and learned about the cabal, and all that shit. I fell off with work, life, and honestly wanting to look away because it is a bit much. Fast forward to the spring of 2019, I had totally shut off from the truther movement, and a new IT help desk guy asked if I knew about Q. He felt comfortable with bringing it up because he said that from conversation "he knew I knew". Ever since then I have been all in. I'm banned from normie social media, I've been banned from even greatawakening.win because its a fucking circle jerk of admins and it is no doubtedly comped.

I love this place, it reminds me of my time at Encyclopedia Dramatica, no holds barred kind of shit. I love this place, it is one of the last bastions of free speech on the easily accessible internet left. I talked some shit one night here, and I got handed the mop once again. I'm reporting for duty. Sure I've drank too much lately, made some silly posts, but I'm just human. A few know I'm dealing with a tragic death in the family. I will right myself soon, and hope you all keep doing what you do. I just wish more of you would post. I sincerely wish to talk to you.

So there you have it, I've laid myself bare. I imagine I'll be met with stupid ass comments, that's fine. But to my friends here, I got your back in times of weakness and strength. WWG1WGA

Thank you for sharing your story. I often wonder about the people we meet online - who they really are, what they're about and even going so far as to wonder what would happen if I sent airline tickets to people I see everyday here to meet as a group in some location - would we recognize each other? Would anyone even show up? It would be interesting.

I'm sorry to learn of the death in your family and pray for you all to feel God's comfort in your time of grief. Stay away from the alcohol - it only delays the inevitable rude awakening to reality.

Thank you for being open. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being you.

ThanQ for your story. Heh, i will refrain from mine. Prolly said enuff over the years anyway...

Only wished i had done more in the past, but realized it woulda been for the wrong team. It woulda been on the "wrong side". The Lord preserved me. And He preserved you.

For anyone out there who has hopes for the future and perhaps a coupla regrets from the past, when i awakened today this was spoken to my spirit:

"Wherever you are, be an asset. The rest will take care of itself."

Now is the time. You did not miss a thing. You simply were preserved from a worse fate and ready to be launched for such a time as this.

Onward. Godspeed.

Thanks for your post. I enjoyed getting to know you. More of us should share. It is comforting, somehow, while we feel our way through these darker times.

Remember during the Kavanaugh hearings when VOAT.co began? Ever since then I have checked my phone 15 times a day to scoop up the "cream of the crop" news from you anons (now on POAL). There is rarely any important news missing, and the links to sources are valuable.

I don't post often, but I upvote, reply, and do my part to share your research with friends and contacts via text message. Then they share it, and so on. So, thanks.

My hat off to you sir. I can't imagine struggling to support a family on $9 an hour, I haven't made that little since I was a 17 year old first year apprentice and Clinton was in office yet as a bachelor I still struggled to live on my own.

It was the hardest time of my life.

[–] 1 pt (edited )

It made you a stronger man. If was your neighbor or friend I'd have been giving you venison, elk and any surplus from my garden and coaxing you away to build shit with me for better money than that.

Edit: My Dad wasn't much of one and my mom is even worse and ran out on us. I was 12 years old systematically hitting every house on the block asking for 4 eggs, quart of milk, half pound of flour or butter etc. With my go to story about how I needed to make something for a school project but my mom forgot and was working a double shift at the hospital.

I'd bum a hotdog off my friends and exercise every ounce of control to not eat it so I could use it as bait to catch enough catfish from the lake to sustain myself with enough protien. I'd dig through garbage cans grabbing receipts bringing them in to Taco Bell or McDonald's telling them I had allergies and they still put onions or pickles on my order but was too busy between classes to bring it up.

I was a resourceful little shit feeding myself growing up. That was the hardest point in my life for sure. No 13 year old kid should ever have to know what it's like to fist fight their older brother for a can of Dinty Moore stew and go to bed with an empty stomach on top of an ass whooping.

Edit edit: Last story of my pity pot. I hit the usual patterns of neighbors, "my mom is busy i need some butter", next house "my mom forgot to get bread and is working a double shift" next house "mom's busy and didn't get eggs"....

Cooking myself an egg sandwich to wash down with a nice glass of milk my brother wakes up and sees what I've foraged for myself and beat the shit out of me with the handle of a mop and ate everything.

I may has well have grown up with a pack of wolves lol.
