- Those who are using it as a bargaining chip to recruit more people into their own pet conspiracy theory, ie "If I go along with their silly thing about how Obama is an Alien from Neptune, then maybe I can illuminate them to THE TRUTH about how Fluoride in our drinking water does nothing but make our teeth trackable by satellite".
