Just goes to show you how deeply permeating the Red Scare is. Reminds me of that "exploding helmets" story that was obviously bogus but peddled as though it was true.

    That’s one I never even heard of until now! I’m not surprised that the CIA-backed Falun Gong’s Epoch Times covered it: China Develops Helmets for Soldiers With Self-Destruct Button: Report. You can just make up any zany thing about the US’s designated baddies, and people will buy it.
