That's ok Xmasdale, except I don't guard the use of the term "sheeple" with my life, I just think it's a temporarily convenient and reasonably acceptable reference to what has happened to people in society in the past fifty or so years.
Good luck with the re-investigate 9/11 work...keep us posted!

You would use it normally as a plural noun, Eg:
"The sheeple are scared to question authority."
sometimes as an adjective:
"Those people have a sheeple mind set."
You could try a verb:
"Don't sheeple us by brainwashing".
Or as a present participle used as an adjective:
"That was a sheepling experience".

Fraid that's all top secret at the mo coz the MPs and peers are scared of it being known they are interested. They've been sheepled.
