This is an accurate assessment yet you have to read a lot online to get to this understanding. Nobody in the mainstream media and no politician in the Western media will help you get to understand things as they are, so it is an interesting time we live in where more and more people are independently informed yet the 'great leaders' still think everyone is stupid.

I disagree with having to research it on your own. It’s a common enough theory thrown around on reddit, Twitter, fb groups etc on the daily without any further thought required on one’s part. Search petrodollar on any of those sites and see.

To make it fun, drink every time you see mention of the Jews, Masons, and NWO while looking through the results.

Yes, but you need to have enough of your own curiosity to look into it. Not everyone is curious about it, nor should they need to be, the world would be less interesting if everyone had the same interests. However, it is useful for non-curious people to have some grounding in current events, which is supposed to be the function of the news media, but much of today's news media is utter shite. Take any topic covered by the mainstream media that you know something about and you'll easily find disinformation and lies by omission.
