So not a single example, but paranoid speculation, based on your general distrust. That's fine - you're allowed to feel that way.
It's a silly and stupid fallacy, to say that it's speculation that they are not being manipulated. But no, it's not speculation, it's the general principle to say that something needs proof. But I guess you are always in a state of flux. "Be weary of gods, because we can't prove they are there, but I believe they are - because someone else can't prove that they are not there..." That's so incredible silly.
But thanks for the talk. Now, please go find some other paranoid person to share your speculations with.
