That's one of your 'straw men'  - MalignD has never argued what you say he 
has. For the purposes of your argument you have been assuming unity, 
continuity and common cause where it only existed in the straight media's 
reductive view of a number of interacting threads. He's been trying, in his 
caustic fashion, to hip you to your blinkers.
You are currently occupying a many sided room and seem determined to paint 
yourself into every corner.
