Have you ever been called a "conspiracy theorist"? What does that even mean? This is a weaponized term designed to marginalize and belittle those who dig deeper than the headlines. At AWAKE the IRON we are only interested in what is real and what is true. Presented in this episode are a handful of events commonly brushed aside as conspiracies but are actually real. Some of these may surprise you.
