Anthony Blunt Soviet spy and courtier told colleagues he was illegitimate child of George V

For me, your timing is perfect.

Less than 12 hours ago, thanks to a friend who, not exactly immersed in studies of deep politics in general and political assassinations in particular, ventured an off-the-cuff comment about the death of Diana, I experienced one of those all-too-rare EUREKA! moments.

And while few of them ever generate true paradigm-shifting insights, almost all manage to stretch the boundaries of one's analytical imagination (no contradiction in terms) and demonstrate that no idea is too wild for consideration -- even if only for a moment or three.

I'll go into detail on a separate thread. But to conclude this brief consideration of serendipity, I'll note that, within the past ten days, a good friend who is an expert in the studies referenced above revealed that he shares one of my most closely-held and rarely encountered hypotheses regarding JFK's murder. And last night, I was inspired -- albeit unintentionally -- to apply it to the Diana affair.

How does this relate to Blunt and, by extension, to the nature of Philby's game?

I'll try to explain in detail on the new thread (coming soon -- probably after Christmas).
