Not P but Disinformation ?

[Allan Balliett]

They told me you'd say that

Unfortunately, you've described the thesis of Exiting the Matrix to a T

It's about top capitalists deciding to control public opinion through the
media through two mega public opinion firms with 'what's published' being
controlled by the usual brown nose schemes (know the rules or perish)

But this RT endorsement, and the "Putin's going to save the World' thinking
that follows from it simply stills my orgone plasma pulses
