    See that is what im always sorta wondering. Is it real people or is it being manipulated by folks to lower the impact of what they do? I definitely think most of it is real folks but I also feel there are unfriendly forces stoking the flames to get them pushing the extremeness that turns off the middle folk. Whats really bad is before I had a bit of sympathy and would push a bit on the issue but now there are much more local immediate concerns that just take precedence. I will be more concerned with global affairs when people are not being grabbed and renditioned to a foreign gulag over here.

      I suspect it mostly started as propaganda. Which then became successful and caused genuine believers to repeat it and spread it.
