True -as these wolves may be mean, but are cowardly -and use the sheep to do their dirty work -so a few wolves can make many unwilling or apathetic wolves out of sheep -some understanding should be shown to those who act out of fear, but in the end the result is the same -and even the fearful will have their part in the lake of fire. Also, the "I was afraid" excuse is used by even the wolves themselves. Furthermore, there is a difference between fear and apathy.
Though sheep, we must have the faith and tell the wolves no -we may think we save one or two by doing their will -but their will is to kill the whole flock. Still -let's not confuse God's sheep with those who may oppose the wolves -but be wolves in their own ways -There may have been good guys at one time -perhaps there are some left -but increasingly there is only party spirit -wolves on every side, all saying they are the good guys -but all employing evil methods. Man's business and God's are better left unmixed -and God's ways are not man's ways.
Finally -a sheep who dresses as a wolf to catch wolves with little regard for other sheep -putting his own agenda first and himself harming sheep in the process -might fall prey to the sheep farmer along with the other wolves -what with his lookin' and actin' like them and all...

So conclusion. Don't be led like a bunch of sheep. There may not be as many wolves out there as you think.

Now if that don't show how messed up we are, I don't know what does -unless they are planning to train them to take over our less-than-enjoyable tasks -which are usually left to me when I do temp work, I think we should leave the sheep alone and try not to blow ourselves up.
But seriously, it is sad that some experiment on humans -directly and psychologically in order to more effectively control them -but it is to the hurt of all -even the controllers -as those who are conditioned to respond are being used against their controllers by others -it's like manchurian candidate on a massive scale. We're made so stupid we can be used by anyone who knows just how stupid we are, and that there is little we will not do. Mind control is the easy part -crowd control will be the tough part.
Interesting that you talk about facial recognition. Those who make sport of controlling others' lives use people who look like others for various purposes. I have even seen it used against children -to turn them against parents by those who appear as their parents and are cruel to them. I once thought people were basically good -but good must be cultivated -and men are capable of anything they can imagine.

The secret is keep the sheep scared and suspicious so that they can't think for themselves.
Scared animals don't act intelligently -
Kendrick suspects sheep got their dim-witted reputation because they live in large groups and do not appear to have much individuality and they are scared of just about everything.
"Any animal, including humans, once they are scared, they don't tend to show signs of intelligent behaviour," he explained.
In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialist system in the brain which allows them to distinguish between many different faces which look extremely similar.
"The most important finding (of the study) is that they are able, both from a behavioural point of view and from looking at the way the brain is organised, to remember a large number of faces of individuals for a very long time," said Kendrick.
"It is a very sophisticated memory system. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans."

This can be true, but God's sheep have always appeared to be wolves to the wolves -and the wolves have made them out to be wolves to others.
Christ himself was made to appear antichrist by the advertising of his accusers.
Elijah and Elisha were God's sheep -but were not sheepish -meek, yes -but not weak.
Samson, Joshua, the apostles... though God's sheep, these men did not allow the rod and staff of men to turn them (though men did drive some hither and thither -and slaughtered some).
Besides, he who has an ear will hear no matter who wears what. It's not up to men.
Jer 13:17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is carried away captive.

What about the sheep in wolf's clothing?
![[cool_shades]](graemlins/cool_shades.gif)
Often such misguided sheep persist in their wolf’s demeanor, insisting (typically against reason) that they are the enlightened ones. Do they know they look and sound more like a wolf than a sheep? Are they aware that the way they come across discounts everything they have to say???
When sheep take on the characteristics of a wolf, any so-called wisdom they offer will fall on deaf ears, as it should. But how should we confront these misguided sheep? How about clothing ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom 13:14), rather than another wolf suit? This must be the surest way to be imitators of God, even though it may not appear to win many arguments. (At least not by the world’s/wolf’s standards!)

What good are sheep that can outrun you? You'd be cold AND tired.

Usually it is the wolves who are anxious to point people to false teacher sites.
