Manipulations examines the questions of trust. We all trade in trust, we all negotiate for trust, we all manipulate with trust. In this game, there are no innocent victims - we all know what it is about. Trust is a weapon to fight the fear, insecurity and uncertainty of the future. Trust is the fuel of power. And this is where manipulations begin. If there is no trust, there is no trading, no bankers, no politicians, no democracy, no love, no God. Nothing. Trust is not a question of choice. It is a matter of necessity.
