   It's good to see manipulation wherever it happens.  Like the global   
   warming alarmists for instance.  Or the " 'insert person here' is   
   Hitler".  Or the "cops are literally trying to kill you and your people".   
      
   It's everywhere.   
      
   Of course the fear mongering that you believe in, isn't.
