The Wachowski's were truly visionaries ahead of their time.

We're all a bunch of brainless pods hooked into the apparatus of the Epstein class. They're puppet-masters controlling literally everything now...because they are controlling the flow and storage of information and drip-feeding us what they want us to have and nothing more.

They are gatekeeping reality from us.

Not just social media...legacy media is just as bad...if not worse. Remember, Sinclair and Nexstar own the vast majority of local news networks. In some networks (i.e. Providence, RI), there is a legit duopoly -- Nexstar owning WPRI (CBS Affiliate), and Sinclair owning WJAR (NBC Afiliate) and now WLNE (ABC Affiliate).

They didn't just buy the rights to air The Price is Right when they bought those stations. They bought control over the news staff, directly. People that have built up generations of trust with the community. Maybe even interacted directly with you or someone in your family at a public event.

Hell, the meteorologist from one of these stations did the commencement speech for my highschool graduation.

There's like, two or three conglomerates that handle the majority of terrestrial radio stations, too. And ditto for print media...at least the "big local" papers. I wouldn't be surprised if the local city papers are seeing the same fate.

Who controls the past now controls the future, who controls the present now controls the past.

Now testify.

"The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media.”

“Some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias.”

“This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.”

That... that was 8 years ago, now.

... some of us did not need to be told twice to WAKE UP, but most... well, they preferred the blue pill.

And a perfect example.

Frank Coletta was an anchor on WJAR since like the 1970s. He's in that picture, saying that line. 5th column, 4th row.
