**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – STAY WOKE**
**“THE GHOST OF MILLI VANILLI IS BACK: NEW ‘LOST TAPE’ REVEALS THE DUO WAS ACTUALLY A DEEP-WEB GOVERNMENT SOCIAL EXPERIMENT”**

A sealed 1998 CIA document allegedly referencing the project describes it as "a proof-of-concept for post-truth celebrity assembly." Neither Fab Morvan nor surviving family members of the late Rob Pil
