On the surface, it appears to be an act of preventing violence, but does it not also conveniently serve as an avenue for controlling narratives and stifling voices?
They lack the ability to efficiently control the narrative at this moment. So they want to shut down what they cannot control. That is why they are fighting so hard to get us bagged and tagged.
Regardless of the story that is being told, they have to first get it out to the right people, at the right time, and it has to say what the people want to hear.
If you are dumping water in the river waiting for it overflow and put out the fire, you could eventually put the fire out, but there will be a lot more damage in its wake.
In cases like this, the truth will not be received by many, and the lies will be received by many. What the many chooses to believe will be based on what they have actually seen and what they have lived, and what the internet feeds them.
The real problem is that people are not careful about what they consume or who cooked it.
