I respectfully step out of the discussion... I don't want to convince you guys I just wanted to add my understanding.
A final note is that the "fear uncertainty doubt" FUD is like dirt that crawls into any understanding. I see a lot of fear for "Them" the powers that be... When our fear of Them becomes all encompassing, when we start to ascribe all things negative to them. At that point they are to us no longer what they really are. They are our own shadow that we see everywhere, like it's following us around. They love it, we've become our own enemies.
The power these individuals have is very limited. The universe itself is pushing mankind through a pinhole. They do not have the ability to stop this. All they can do is slow the process by making all of us fearful, and focus us on the bad things and not the good things. The fear they produce randomly creates these things like the vaccine scares... Or the muslim scares. Or the killer asteroids, the mind control, the brainwashing scares... Evil aliens!
Bottom line is: your life, your choice. The consequences are yours and fear is a bad guide.
