You're either a shill or a useful idiot. As for 4-2-7, it's pretty clear where he falls.

When another view is presented they try to defame that individual as being the Shill.

Right. I believe a "shill" in the context as Finn (Correct me if I'm wrong, Pat.) has used the term, is someone who has a stake in selling or pushing a particular item, book, or membership in a specific organization.

I don't recall my or anyone ever trying to sell or push anything, here at PC. Until certain characters appeared, apparently pushing gold and posting articles from singular sources, repeatedly.

I also remember reading that they had cornered exports to some "corridor" and I was impressed that it amounted to over 30% of the world population but I cant find that article at the moment. Im in and out of here getting ready for my day.
Damn! China's trade is really burgeoning. No wonder Britain went to them cap in hand.

I still would not say "well position to do without us". 521 billion dollars is still
a huge chunk of their trade.

Yep. The conspiracy theory websites that S(h)amm linked to survive only through the number of eyeballs that come to their pages. That's how they sell their ad revenue and/or advance their agendas (pro-Putin in many of the sites S(h)amm linked to, for example). They are both irrelevant and unprofitable without eyeballs and shills like S(h)amm do their best to provide these eyeballs.

Gain does not need to be monetary in nature. (Did you get that D-Ray)

90% of the topic post originate or referenced from the Washington Post, the other 10% far left websites.

The WashPost happens to be a multi-Pulitzer prize winning outfit that will survive with or without people such as us linking to it. The conspiracy theory websites won't. The WashPost doesn't need shills to boost readership or profitability (or to make their name known to the masses.) Conspiracy theory websites do and that's why people such as S(h)amm troll around on political chat rooms. It's that simple.

If anyone utilizes any other resource to explain or reply to a topic it's deemed a lie, non creditable. By who? the shills pedaling their propaganda.

Take some time to dig a bit deeper into her sources. They have established links with Russia Today, 9-11 Truthers, gold peddlers, peddlers of World Government hysteria, etc. It's all there if you take a few moments to look. She even linked to Lyndon LaRouche's, for Christ's sake.
