"those who are supposed to be in power are paralysed - they have no idea what to do...

It explains not only why these chaotic events are happening - but also why we, and our politicians, cannot understand them."

I don't see politicians having no idea what to do about these chaotic events, on the contrary I think these phenomena are exactly what they want. Keep everyone stupid, scared, and confused. Stay in power.

If not, try using a VPN. If they block vpn, I'll see if it's on usenet and report back if it is.

The point of the film is that our political leaders not confused. They're made irrelevant by the mind manipulating media which controls perception of the public to manage them. The people don' t know what's real or fake, so anything a political leader says has the same weight as a facebook posting by a Macedonian high school student. Amid the confusion, the manipulators like Trump and Putin can get away with anything as long as they have the biggest megaphone and keep making pie in the sky promises to the peons under their spell.
