So, is there a disturbance in the Matrix?

As influential people around the world step down from their positions of power because of their connection to Epstein, it makes me wonder how much were they able to create fluctuations in the markets that undermined the Middle Class investors who lost everything each time there was a downturn? The Middle Class is the strength of this country and it has been chipped away over the years to the point of anorexia. And because of this, it has been easy to turn them against anyone the elites claim are the real problem. "Look there, not here."

I just find it mind-boggling. Not just that the market downturns favored the A Class investor, but they also benefitted from the tax breaks.

I don't know why and how our criminal justice system became complicit, but the more we talk about how a pedophile ring was able to set up what was probably a black-mail induced racketeering network, that most likely stole an election or two, I think it will be easier to make the case that the FBI, DOJ and CIA need a reset. We don't need fixers, we don't need dirty-tricksters and we certainly don't need a criminal justice system that tolerates honeypot organizations because they want tips, while they tolerate the raping of little girls. That is just not an acceptable trade-off.

And to start off, we should revisit Trump's pardons because, man, letting drug kingpins off with a pardon...that's precisely what we don't need in this country.
