EC3 posted a video teasing a new character and wrote: “Unpleasant Truth (the red pill) I am not the top 1%. The Top 1% is a character that could garner a reaction, to entertain you and its a character I could do better than anyone else. It was a reality that I was simply imitating. But in this industry there is a true top 1%. A power hierarchy. A charlatan’s cabal who have entered us into their creative totalitarianism. they abhor free speech. punish you for revealing your true self. and they wash their hands of you when a world wide pandemic affects their bottom line. I accept that. Do you? Reject their narrative. Reject their falsification of history. Reject their commands for obedience. Free yourself. You have been warned. #FreeEC3 #raw www.freeec3.com”.
