I know some very bright people that dismiss a lot of these things, global warming being a false science, Agenda 21, etc. and I know for a fact they are not in a trance state.
Maybe trance state wasn’t the best description. I’ve never experienced more powerful defence mechanisms than I have in the last 2-3 years. A significant percentage of people aren’t interested in truth gets them out of their safe, comfortable, make-believe world. TPTB know this and use it to their advantage.
I’ve shown a clip of something that happened in congress to prove a point to someone. I showed it twice actually. They got an odd look on the face, denied what they saw happened and walked out of the room. This is a sober person who has a good job which she is competent at. It was kind of chilling.
