"Patriots are in control" is, I believe, a bit of hyperbole -- recall that "disinformation is necessary" -- because it is clear that patriots are NOT in control in many places and situations.

Otherwise, we'd have to believe that patriots planned, set, and helped cover up the truth of the Lahaina fires, the toxic spill in Ohio, and many other things that involved mass casualties (deaths and/or severe injuries) and financial devastation. EDIT: Or that patriots knew about these horrors (and others, such as massive child trafficking) and allowed them to happen. Patriots are not yet in a position to be in COMPLETE control, obviously.

Patriots ARE in control in many areas / situations where the public is allowed to believe otherwise, I am certain. But not everywhere. HARDLY everywhere.
