The Threat

281221Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//Logging on. Who’s here?

281221Z OCT

AMICABLE:

//Here.

281221Z OCT

BLUE DANUBE:

//Been here awhile.

281222Z OCT

HELLGOD:

//Here.

28122Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//Sorry I’m late. Greetings all. Hellgod, love your handle. Any problems?

281222Z OCT

BLUE DANUBE:

//Is this a secure site? For a discussion like this? And why so early?

281222Z OCT

HELLGOD:

//Same question.

281222Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//Have already assured Amicable of airtightness of this site. No records will exist after power down. Not like your VAX system, or whatever it’s called now. Check the indicator, lower right of the screen, for who’s in the room. Should be just the four of us, that’s what I show.

281223Z OCT

AMICABLE:

//Let’s get to it. The less time we’re online the better I’ll feel.

281223Z OCT

HELLGOD:

//On the security issue: I’m going to have one of my people backcheck that. For peace of mind. Will not tell him why.

281223Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//Fine on the backstop on security.

//All right, an update. We’ve made progress. Brought concerned citizens aboard. All good guys. This is not for anyone’s personal gain or advancement. Correct?

281223Z OCT

BLUE DANUBE:

//We all have more to lose than to gain from even discussing this.

281223Z OCT

HELLGOD:

//What’s the code name? Valkyrie?

281224Z OCT

AMICABLE:

//?? You lost me there, cowboy. Meaning what??

281224Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//There is no name for this plan. Officially it will never exist. It is prepared solely in case P gets out of hand. A lot of guys have given their lives to draw certain lines in the sand. I won’t stand by and let a sleazy politician, a — Sorry. Out of rant mode now.

281224Z OCT

AMICABLE:

//Continue report??

281225Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//Overall concept of operations is G’s. It required a contact on the inside. Blue Danube is now with us. Welcome again. There is also another, who declines to participate in e-mail exchanges. G will handle him personally. All this very close hold. No printouts, no penciled notes. You do not discuss with others in the picture, other than by face-to-face conversation, or this channel. Nothing written down. And with no one else — not wife, not your aide, not your COS.

281226Z OCT

HELLGOD:

//Has an Oswald been identified?

281226Z OCT

AMICABLE:

//No, but I have a Ruby.;)

281226Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//Ha ha. Now, what we need: BD, take a close look at your junior people. Go back and review your organizational security guidelines to identify those at risk. Those = our candidates.

281228Z OCT

BLUE DANUBE:

//Assume this person is to be expendable.

281228Z OCT

AMICABLE:

//The cartridge is fired, then disposed of.

281228Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//Now you’re getting with the program. Felt some misgivings/reluctance in our last “conversation.”

281228Z OCT

HELLGOD:

//No doubt here. I vote for executive action today.

281228Z OCT

AMICABLE:

//My vote is no, if we’re voting. I’m no admirer, but this Republic has survived bad leadership before. Don’t pull the pin till you’re ready to throw the grenade!!

281229Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//This is not an election for third-grade president, gents. G will make decision to implement, if such a decision is necessary. But A is correct — this is backup measure only.

281229Z OCT

AMICABLE:

//Is Two officially aboard?

281229Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//Friendly but in deniable mode.

281229Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//Continuing to BD: we need an operator who will be motivated to act for reasons external to us, not attributable to us. Someone already close to the breaking point, or would appear to be, in retrospect, to an outside observer/investigator/historian. Our role only creating conditions for him to act. Then stepping aside.

281230Z OCT

HELLGOD:

//We have resources over here we could help out with. My question: how ENSURE he acts? We can facilitate, but how do we push him to move?

281230ZCT

SCHOLAST:

//All excellent questions, Hellgod. Let’s discuss offline. BD, research and report back. Nominate direct to me with as much detail as possible.

281230Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//Good, but no nominations off the top of the head. Everything about this has to be airtight. Even looked at twenty years down the road.

281230Z OCT

BLUE DANUBE:

//Will work up package.

281230Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//Basically it for now. Remember to log out at end of chat.

281230Z OCT

AMICABLE:

//If we’re done I’m out.

***LOGOFF***

281230Z OCT

SCHOLAST:

//Out here.

***LOGOFF***

281230Z OCT

BLUE DANUBE:

//Out Here.

281230Z OCT

HELLGOD:

//Done. & GHMOUA.
