Do I Need to Be an Expert in Order For You to Believe Me?

How many of you believe that this (kinda sorta) great country, is still so (kinda sorta) great?

This weekend, I would like to touch on the topic of opinion leaders and what actually makes YOU believe someone who seems to know what they are talking about. First, I will start with myself. 

I am in no way an expert on the history of this country nor do I know where the country is headed. However, I do read a lot. I do listen to podcast from "experts" whom are not affiliated with the tainted mainstream media, I utilize social media such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to learn more from other like-minded individuals, then, try to bring my readers or rather developing readers a brief knowledge on all that I have learned.

 Yet, why should YOU even bother with my blog? Why should you even bother to try to believe me after I've just admitted to you that I am no expert. Well, here is why you should bother with my blog.

Although I am no expert nor an opinion leader, I, like many other bloggers out there who are discussing things that are often ignored by most, have no agenda, are not receiving any compensation to write, nor are we looking for fame. We simply want to inform. I simply want to inform. I want to be that break away from your normal mental stimuli and provide you with an alternative to what you have been accustomed to. 

As I continue to read more, I began to feel more and more like an expert. The funny thing is, I do not know as to what I am supposed to be an expert about, I just know that I know TO MUCH. My thoughts that are displayed in this blog, may come out as rambled thoughts, however, they are not. They are me, simply trying to make my thoughts coherent, however I never knew just how difficult that could be. 

In weeks to come, things will unfold. The things that I am really trying to elaborate on will come into fruition and will be more understandable. Look for my new post every Sunday. A lot is happening in the world that is not being reported on by the mainstream media and as I began to learn more, like I said before, I will let you all know. 

Last week, I posted a picture of a recent newspaper clipping, from an article that I wrote for the Maxwell Air Force Base's newspaper, the Dispatch. I have been a Dispatch reporter for almost nine months now. The point of that picture was to begin to develop my credibility for the topics that I discuss on my blog. Yes, I have friends in high places. 

I've had interviews with top level officials who've worked in the Pentagon, retired CIA, FBI and State Department officials. Most of them took a liking to me and we exchanged numbers. I will not go into much detail on that, I simply want my readers to know that I am providing you with information that I am not creating out of thin air!
