I repeat, no rational person would oppose this thread vigorously EXCEPT a shill.

Of course shills exists. Governments and corporations need to "control" perception - of issues that are important to them. They can't just have people asking questions and developing rational answers to those questions through honest inquiry because the end result would be a fucking change so fast that they would lose their power.

So, anyone who denies shills exist is in fact a shill.

It doesn't really matter if the original story is actually a true account since it certainly describes what probably is the basic SOP for shills.
