Hello world! My name is Matthew Pamatian, I am turning 30 this year! (I still feel like a kid though.) I graduated highschool from a military school, and didnt attend college or join the military, and therefore I work doing manual labor, for minimum wage.
As a young adult, I never thought that I would become an activist or politically involved.. I just wanted to hangout, smoke pot with my friends, longboard, skate, or play counter-strike.
Well... in Junior year of H.S. we moved in with my moms boyfriend, and I began the year at my 3rd H.S. (Canby High).
Being the only kid in the house, now that my sister was couch hopping, and being in a new neighborhood (after being uprooted from a place Id lived for basically my whole life) with little to no desire to form new connections: Counter-strike and my PC became high on my list of priorities.. but a guy can only play so many hours of FPS games, and create so many playlists on soundcloud before he gets bored and starts down the YT rabbit hole.
Im not sure exactly what it was that kept pulling me deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole, while simultaneously forming my concern for politics, and society in general.. maby it had something to do with the Irag/Afghanistan wars that had been being waged since basically the time of my birth, culminating in the Sept. 11th attacks on the WTC and Pentagon.
So this rabbit hole that I had stumbled into, probably started with watching YT videos of UFO sightings or something strange like that.. and a video came across the suggested feed called "Zeitgeist" which was about 3 hours long, so I figured it had to be groundbreaking, so I proceeded to watch, and my mind began to be blown wide open. needless to say I unknowingly join the "TruthMovement" and I had become a 9/11 truther.
The Zeitgeist movie brought up alot of informating and tied in alot of false claims to make everything blend together in an unquestionably factual manner. It promoted the conspiracy of a secret cabal of jewish bankers manipulating money markets, funding both sides of wars, organizing a path to global government, and orchestrating schemes of population control, etc, etc.
(this is a long post, and could make a great podcast.)
Going from being a 17y/o to my early 20's I moved again and went to 2 new highschools, and kind of dropped my concern developed out of boredom.. but picked it up again at around age 23.. this is the point in my life where I felt I was becoming an adult and needed to become in-touch with politics/society. it was probably due to the occupy wallstreet protests and the growing overt discontent with the 1% aswell as the growing popularity of documenting/publishing video of police brutality.
needless to say, since I was previously a truther, I easily went back into that groove and picked rite back up on the trail I was going down into the rabbit hole, I found AlexJones! and InfoWars! and BillCooper! etc.etc.. like being at a buffet, I put a little bit of everything on my plate, not leaving anything to be subject to the FOMO effect.
Im not really sure what the turning point for me was into researching and promoting sane and rational, actionable solutions to address "this situation that we are ALL suffering under". Maby it had something to do with the look in peoples eyes when I would try to "wake them up" and make them aware of things like 9/11 truth and the "Illuminati's" involvement in everything bad perpetrated on the people of this earth.. The look in there eyes was that they were talking to a crazy person.
Im not sure when, or how it happened, but at some point (age 24 or 25) I started to realize that "The land of the free and home of the brave" had really become to be "The land of the weak, and home of the slave". and realizing that a long train of abuses and usurpations had been forced upon the american people, I started to look for ways that I could regain the promise that was made to me in the founding documents of this country - "That all men are created equal, and are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights" and to secure these rights, a government was instituted among men, who derived their powers from the consent of the governed, and that this government and those men chosen to enforce the founding documents were supposed secure our lives, liberty, property, and therefore our pursuit of happiness.
Realizing that these promises of utopia had been stripped from our consciousness, and that the constitution for these once united states of america, was overshadowing the separate but equal state governments, and their respective constitutions(Federal supremacy), I started looking for actionable solution to combat this situation. I started googling terms like "plan for peaceful revolution" and "restore the republic".
Anyways without ruining this short-longstory, and leaving a conversation to be had later.. I found these 4 website.. and 3 incredibly dedicated and awesome people behind the scenes: SleepySalsa, Gary Hunt, and Shane Radliff.
Respectively their Web2.0 spots can be found at
Thelastbastille.wordpress.com
Outpost-of-freedom.com

& Libertyunderattack.com
My goal here on Web3.0 is not only to help create a new decentralized community, but to network with like minded people, and to bring Gary, Shane, And Sleepy's hard work onto this platform, and share it with you guys, and save it from the possibility of Web2.0 terminating its existence forever, as has happened to some of the older podcasts hosted on Stitcher/Radio4All/and BlogTalk.
Please feel free to contact me, and spark up a conversation, invite me to do a podcast with you, have long discussion.. what ever it is, I am here for you, and the betterment of the human experience on this earth.
