Countrymen,
ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT
Are we not seeing this phenomenon for at least fifty years? And others as well playing the agent provocateur, the criminal: clergy, attorneys, counterintelligence operators, marketers, bankers, law enforcement snitches, union officers, shills, service industry personnel, Hollywood shipbuilders? Fun for the whole family!
Agents provocateurs — aka community organizers — have been around so long they seem ordinary, common members of groups of all sizes. Leaders even. They are accorded — and demand — Preferred Seating, the status of Authorized Personnel Only. As if they are really in the know, keep the pulse of developments, know the future, know everything, especially what everyone else should think, say and do.
The elevation of criminals to cult hero status. And you need a theologian? Intellect thickly o’er-lain with rust, hard-scrub cleansing needed is. Ironically and beneficially, agents provocateurs, community organizers, criminals themselves provoke that effort and by their own obdurate implacability guarantee its success.
But if professors are agents provocateurs, for whom are they working, who pays their freight? Well, I think if the money is followed, they are working for themselves, politicians pay their freight and banksters pay off politicians and their plutocratic bureaucrats — shakedown artists, grafters — to buy themselves space and time to loot the national wealth. All above board and legal, of course, because politicians’ and bureaucrats’ legal staffs write the laws and regulations. Professors’ job in this vast criminal organization and conspiracy is to churn the waters, mental and emotional, continuously — the agent provocateur role — to forestall discovery of the conspiracy and re-form of the organization.
Against that power the beginning of justice is quiet. With quiet comes sight. With sight comes knowledge. With knowledge comes power. And with power comes action. Let it be just and it will be sufficient. But it must start in quiet. That is the professor’s intended role, his raison d’être: quiet.
