I think in todays parlance it means propagandist
They are looking directly at a bunch of saps who will leave this hall, go outside into atrium, where there will tables of books, cassettes, DVDs, enrollment forms for seminars and, of course, sweet looking ladies with aluminum cases full of cash, ready to take hard-earned money to stuff in the pockets of these frauds.
Cash only, of course. None of these dopes uses credit cards to avoid being tracked by the government as they attend these gatherings of mental patients.
The thing is, if you and I ever started believing this nonsense, most of these people would go off into some other theory.
It's about being "in the know" for them. And you and I will never be "in the know."
Lots of young guys in this audience. From the women I've seen, they've got to be disappointed at the booty call.
