I certainly won't argue dementia, but I was referring to the RED CROSS as
the left-wing conspirators. You basically stated that they were using the
tragedy as a ruse to garner sympathetic reaction.

But you preceded this by saying the call for blood donation was a gimmick.
"Forget the rest, just build your own shelter" sounds a bit familiar. Quite
