The Matrix and Sophia Stewart

It's been a while, I know, but I'm back with a new rant. Racism has once again reared its ugly head where it should not exist. Who, one may ask is Sophia Stewart and what does she have, if anything, to do with the Matrix? She is a science fiction enthusiast and writer whos work could quite possibly be the origin of the thoughts and ideas that shaped the Matrix Trilogy. There's only one problem. The Hollywood machine that created the films didn't consult or compensate her for her creative imagery. The Matrix paints a picture of a future where humanity is united as one race against a common enemy. These movies, though each progressively worse, still touched my mind in ways movies had not been able to previously. I would think those who watched and understood the tip of the iceberg these films touched upon would be beyond racism and understand the deeper workings of our society, to at least be able to more readily identify the hidden infractions that individuals must suffer as the wheels of the grind forth. Instead I find that these people who have been supposedly freed from the matrix readily cooperate with "agents" of the real world and attack those that would stand up against our societal overlords with treasonous zeal. The bashing of Sophia Stewart is rampant and disrespectful in light of the supposed evidence. It could all be fake of course but let that play out in the courts. Let us be skeptical of what we are being told. Really we are not even being told not to believe it. Let us not blindly follow a mob, or support causes without merit, even though it may be against those who have opened our eyes. We are after all only human.

I've tried too collect all the pertinent data here which if correct and authentic makes Sofia Stewarts case crystal clear. The only thing left to settle will be money and apologies.

Sophia's Press Release

Clearer Images

The illustrations are actually from the matrix comics. Stewart includes these to site similarities between her story and the matrix story.
Similarities I see:
The "One".
Main character dressed in all black.
Revolution against great power with almost total control.
Prophetic fullfilment.


If she had been paid ahead of time, it would have been no big deal but the courts frown upon this sort of thing. Remember all that biz with sampling?

It's not that these things have not been done in other movies, but that they are all in her script and all in a movie whose directors solicited request for scripts and she sent her script in response to that solicitation. It's a little too coincidental. Lawsuit coincidental.


I appreciate all intelligent, respective and pertinent responses.

Also those who have insulted this woman may wish to redeem themselves and apologize.
