I recall a wise man say: You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe(I.E the Lies of the system). You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. (I.E The Truth)
In the above Quote: you can clearly see that choices are offered
Choices?! His speech is pure manipulation. He doesn't give any idea as to what the redpill will free him to. No idea of the scorched wasteland he will see. He is given two options - One of which is made to sound boring and uninviting (Bluepill), and one which is made to sound exciting (Redpill).
Where is the true choice? Anybody can put a swing on words.
You take the blue pill, you continue sleep blissfully and enjoy the world as it should be. You take the redpill, you see Humanity's biggest mistake, and the world in ruins.
Now how does that sound? Yes that was biased. But isn't the quote you just used also biased?
Yes - but only 1% of the the human population wants to make that choice. Aggressive recruiting tactics disrupt the System's stability and are bad for humanity in general. I have no problem with people being freed from the Matrix - IF they choose to be freed, instead of being tricked into it by code bombs, sneaky tactics, et cetera. Sure, TAECROSS was a "rogue" when she let loose her attacks - but do I really believe that? No. Taecross is a higher-up in the EPN organization, and I don't believe for one second that the Kid and others didn't know what she was up to; rather, they let it appear as if she was rogue so they could claim plausible deniability, and keep buddy-buddy with the other organizations while they run black operations to attack them secretly. If you think Taecross was on her own with the code bombs, then I pity you for the wool that's been pulled over your eyes. And to those who complain about "fairness" and "discrimination" -- tough luck. The Matrix is the Machines' world; they built, they operate it. You and us both are only alive today because for some reason, the Machines decided to stop attacking us. But why did they ever attack us in the first place? Us. Humans started the war, we caused this whole mess to occur. The General says in his blog that at the core of all Machine programming, the original source elements are retained - that they may kill humans, but they do not enjoy it. Machines are not aggressors, enslavers, bloodthirsty opressors. They're our own creations who've tried time and time again to do what's best for us, only to have humans themselves come in and muck things up. E Pluribus Neo are a direct threat to the System, and must be dealth with accordingly. Agent Gray himself made this clear to Machine operatives several months ago after a meeting with E Pluribus Neo (which was subsequently interrupted by Veil). Fellow machine operatives, we should all be working together to rid this threat from the simulation.
First, Where do you get your statistics from? How can you say that only 1% of the human population wants to make that choice when the entire population don't even know about A choice??
Second, You should really do your homework before you make statements. For one thing, TaeCross is MALE, and another, Shimada issued a warrant for his arrest even BEFORE he broke any EPN laws and set off codebombs. In my opinion, it was handled in under a week and that is very quick compared to say, Anome. Had they wanted him to do what he did, they could have easily delayed the search. Our organization has never been one to condone code bombs even when Morpheus used them. A dead human is no good to us. It's like saying that the machines secretly want all humans to be freed. It just doesn't make sense for the machines to want that just as it doesnt make sense for EPN to want code bombs to be set off.
Lastly, if anything, Machines should be on board with us. Or at least on the same page. We don't want humans to die and neither do you. All we want humans to have a choice to know the truth, whats so wrong with that? Why do you feel so threatened by humans being given a choice? Maybe it WOULD only be 1% that wants to be awakened, who knows. But at least they would have been given that choice.

Poor Michael is a very misguided man. You do not want humans to have a choice. You want the Matrix destroyed, and all humans freed from it. I have, to various people in the past, explained that this would be impossible for various reasons, and I shall not go into detail with it now but let me just say: Shock, over-population, wars over resources.
The Kid, as he is called (an appropriate name may I say), is doing the wrong thing for the wrong reason. He believes he is doing what Neo wanted. Neo did not want the Matrix destroyed and all of humanity out of the pods. He saw that this would be impossible, and in the end disasterous. He secured a future with more choice and freedom than any of you could have hoped to get through your foolish actions. Yet what does the Kid do? The EPN are terrorists whether you will admit it or not. I agree with my factionmate that those code bombs were probably condoned in private by the leaders of EPN.
My personal belief is that the Kid is not capable of leading a group; especially one that goes against it's own very idea.

Neo : I know you're out there...I can feel you now. I know that
you're afraid. You're afraid of us, you're afraid of
change...I don't know the future...I didn't come here to
tell you how this is going to end, I came here to tell you
how this is going to begin. Now, I'm going to hang up
this phone, and I'm going to show these people what you
don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world
without you...a world without rules and controls, without
borders or boundaries. A world...where anything is
possible.
We travel down a phone line, as we see that Neo is in a phone box.
Neo : Where we go from there...is a choice I leave to you...
poop is 46 now? /golfclap
