The Depeche Mode lead singer/co-songwriter is Dave Gahan. Martin L. Gore is also equally talented because he is also in Depeche Mode. He is DM's lead songwriter and co-singer. That's why I love Depeche Mode a lot.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
