I always enjoy your work. Thanks.

Your comments on the trait of conspiracy theorists to accuse others of the things of which they themselves are guilty (projection), can usually be said of all liberals and most Democrats. This is a common tactic of theirs. I sometimes think it is simply a psychological defense mechanism and at others think it is clever misdirection. I guess that may be the difference between useful idiots a dedicated manipulators.

Keep up the good work
