Cabalocracy and the Hall of Mirrors

mines of information with alternative theories and theorists designed
to confuse the public to the point of sensory overload and ennui.
Prying eyes need to be blinded—or closed permanently. To those
familiar with Capra’s history, his years at Kruger were manifest in this
systematic approach to intelligence gathering and spy craft. He next
presented the possible scenarios a CT researcher might encounter,
and what to do about them.
First, to remain as hidden as his subject, he should devise an
indirect test, one that will not reveal him as the instigator. The best
such inquiry would result in information being added to the public
record, making it available to all and inoculating him against reprisal.
Anonymous tips to the media or the authorities fell into that
category, as did any innocuous action leading to a third party
unintentionally stimulating an overreaction by a putative member of
the cabal. Analysis of the results of such a subliminal probe, if done
properly, should confirm or deny the CT; otherwise, following the
scientific method, it is a pointless exercise. If this line of research
succeeds, the researcher will come out smelling like a rose, landing on
his toes, the child who says the emperor has no clothes. He might
even have the option of remaining out of sight, should he fear
retaliation from occult sympathizers of the shattered cabal. A prophet
has no honor in his own country.
Capra believed that the rise and fall of conspiracies corresponded
to varying degrees of penetrability. Before the unseen hand can strike,
plans must be made, loyalties assured, materiel and logistics secured.
These actions may leave a trail, soon cold but the traces of which
might be discerned with patient backtracking. Once the cabal is in
power it flexes its muscles by eliminating opposition: that is not a
good time to be poking around its edges looking for cause and effect.
But later, after it is well-established, the need for a cover-up may
arise. Witnesses disappear, records are changed, architecture and
landscape altered to fit an official version of events. Once more the
cabal’s interference in public life becomes visible to the trained
observer, and its strength may already be on the wane. At the very
end, as participants die, information is irretrievably lost—deathbed
confessions are not commonplace.
