Thanks Max,   Anvil if he had any credibility with me  has just lost it . Claiming to be a Banker for the second time that I remember , but oblivious to the fact that we had a banking meltdown .

 Why would one claim to be that which he is not ? Banker , CEO ?

To gain Credibility so as to influence followers . So that what they say which is mostly damaging BS with a little truth mixed in is eaten up by those that can't think for themselves .

How do you turn the crowd ?

 You agree with them,  you side with them , you fortify their believes . Then you slowly turn them to accept yours .

This is time consuming , but makes the bond that much stronger .

IMO its unfolding before our eyes over there.
