If you follow alternative news and share or discuss it with your friends, family and acquaintances, there is a strong possibility that you’ve been treated to rolling eyes, laughter and total disbelief.

Many of us have, for years, warned those closest to us about the over reach of government, the expansion of the surveillance state, globalization, and economic unsustainability. In the majority of instances, our diatribes, citations and impassioned arguments have likely fallen on deaf ears.

You’ve probably been called a doomer, conspiracy theorist or worse on numerous occasions.

Are you crazy?

Or is it possible that the majority of people in this country, even many of our loved ones, have become so enthralled with the paradigms of consumerism, government dependence and apathy that they are purposefully being ignorant of what’s happening around them in an attempt to remove themselves from reality?

The team at leading alternative news hub SGTreport.com, which includes Rory, Peter and Sean, recently discussed this very phenomenon.

You can call me a Doomer, you can call me whatever you’d like. It really doesn’t matter. When I read a story… these are facts… how can you say that I’m a doomer? I’m just looking at reality.

…

This is unsustainable.

That is the reality. That’s not being a doomer to address that reality.

It’s being an informed, concerned citizen in a Republic that is quickly deteriorating and being an informed, educated citizen who realizes he, she, all of us must take some steps in an effort to protect our families for what is clearly coming.

Citing five recent headlines, SGT Report highlights how the real story can only be found in alternative media, while the mainstream simply sugarcoats it.

Was it the mainstream media that told us we were on the brink of a total collapse of our financial system? Or that the NSA was surveilling every American? Or that despite the promises made in Washington, unemployment would rise and tens of millions would be added to food stamp rolls? Or that the government was systematically locking down our country, militarizing our police departments and gutting our Constitution?

Yes – they told us. But by the time most Americans were made aware of it, it was already after the fact. They were, as always, a day late and a trillion dollars short.

Had you listened only to “legitimate” TV news sources, you’d likely have bought a new house, a new car, taken the kids to Disneyland and borrowed thousands of dollars in credit to fund your American dream.

Why? Because they told you everything was fine.

Had you been paying attention to reality, you would have known otherwise.

This is one to share with those who simply refuse to believe that there is more out there than they’re being told.
