Very interesting. I recall being shown an FOIA document nearly 20 years ago that had the US using a "Flying Saucer" flap as cover for a nuclear first strike on the Soviet Union.
It's difficult to know which idea came first the Russians using the cover of UFO's to attack the US or the US using it to attack the Russians.
But the point to remember, I suppose, is that both nations were familiar with Nazi technological developments and both knew there were no such things as Alien craft, only very advanced Nazi technology acquired by both nations (to a greater or lesser degree). Thus one might feel the need to conclude that the whole subject was simply an exercise in some sort of smoke and mirrors.
Regards the extract about the old Man of the Mountain and his Assassins now lead me to consider henceforward spelling the word assassin as Hashassins.
Except on those evenings I partake in a drop or two of medicinal fine fortified wine -- in which case I'll just call them "killers".
Reading the foregoing also makes me think that the term "Spooks" is indeed, very fitting for the profession under discussion.
Welcome Mr. Albarelli.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
