Good evening. As you all know, a Hydra facility was destroyed yesterday. Hydara told you that it was an act of terrorism. They told you an Inhuman named the Patriot murdered civilians. What they told you was a lie. We are gonna show you what really happened. This footage was taken from the body-cam of a high-level Hydra operative. Hydra used this Enlightenment center to brainwash anyone who dared to question them. Jeffery Mace saved these people, but Hydra was willing to kill them just to maintain their lie. Once you see this footage, the truth is undeniable. Hydra does not think we are smart enough to know when we are being fed alternative facts ------ to keep us afarid, to keep them in power. Remember, there are more of us than there are of them. And now that we know the truth, we have a choice to make. We all have the opportunity to be patriots. Will you take a stand? Are you going to hold them accountable? Throughout history, we see empire rise and fall……
Hydra was corrupt from the start. They were founded by the Nazis.
A wise man once told me that a person can do anything once they realize they are a part of something bigger. It is taken me a while to understand that. For years, I was just a face in the crowd, a history teacher who spread Hydra's lies. They seemed too imposing for anyone to fight. But now…… I am choosing to stand up, to become a part of something bigger. I really do believe that together, we can accomplish anything.
Because the truth is, I am not just a history teacher. My name is Phil Coulson, and I am an Agent of SHIEND.
