Nahhhhh, I researched this... You think it's just a coincidence that this is also what the liberal media would want us to think?!?

I've researched this by watching literally dozens of minutes of videos on YouTube. Real hardcore stuff with some things that most sheeple probably wouldn't be ready to accept, but it directly contradicts the main stream media narrative, so you know it's true. Also, basically all the claims were widely discredited and it's pretty obvious that so much energy wouldn't have been put into disproving something that was actually untrue, unless someone was trying to hide something from us.
