I'm still thinking about this one. Assembling and maintaining legally obtainable information is one approach, because its time consuming it needs more people. but the other thing, which cmes out of having read this discussion board for a short while is that the majority of people, even those attuned to para politics, and much more informed and better read than me, seem to sideline r.a., into a kind of academic discussion about the nature of ritual, or think of it as a useful way to point out the corruption of some well placed individuals. yet if I were to write a fiction about the transmogrification of moderately benign democratic states into totalitarianism, what better way than to seed every organisation with individuals whose allegiance to a different organisation could be absolutely guaranteed. and if this process, almost as a side effect, produced large sums of money, and allowed the disruption of opponents lives at will, how perfect an instrument it would be. Now that process is tainting the lives of every person, and because it is under cover, it is more dangerous. The deaths of David Kelly, and more recently the young electrician shot dead in the tube, raise doubts immediately. its enough in the public domaine to get noticed and be discussed. Is there another way, an additional way, apart from finding evidence, (which could always 'end' like the Dutroux case, in a phoney trial of a subordinate), of breaking the credibility barrier? not to subordinate research, but to try to open discussion up. <p></p><i></i>
