Yeah, I could see myself having the same reaction if I had read it blind initially, with no reference points as to where it had come from. I've previously read about these in some anarchist blogs and news, and those can be quite pugilistic and fear-mongering, depending, so this is one of the more reasonable accounts I've been exposed to. Plus, with that previous exposure, it didn't quite any alarm cells for me that signify conspiracy-esque thoughts, but more like, "oh great, this again."

Sorry for the confusion, I thought you were maybe referencing the parts in the article cited or the underlying story as a whole. Also, the "fucking" in my last sentence was a little much.
