He is wrong. The "people" in general don't know diddly. There are always a few that know what is going on, but not near enough to overcome the propaganda machine and trained puppets of the elite. The elite are very evil, but they are not very stupid. They know how to keep their power, they have been doing it successfully for 100s of years.
Only to those seeking it out and that give a damn. Most aren't looking for it and wouldn't care if they read it. The number one reason most get on the Internet is not for news, it is for porn. The porn "industry" is raking in the dough.
There is bound to be many more people that are knowledgeable and aware of false flags now thanks to the internet. Before the internet, the information was scarce if ever found at all. Almost all people got their information from books, tv, movies, education, etc.
Amongst the young people 20 years ago, this information about false flags was radical, fringe, almost unheard of. Now it's almost common knowledge.
9/11 backfired like that. Maybe the Elite aren't so stupid, but neither are the masses.
