Making me leaf through that archive in search of the offending posts[not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, only too late did I realize that Dec post was notice of their pending removal!] gave me cause to remember the extraordinary 'last work' of EA Poe ... the 'prose poem' he entitled Eureka, in which, he wrote
"I design to speak of the Physical, Metaphysical and Mathematical — of the Material and Spiritual Universe: — of its Essence, its Origin, its Creation, its Present Condition and its Destiny. I shall be so rash, moreover, as to challenge the conclusions, and thus, in effect, to question the sagacity, of many of the greatest and most justly reverenced of men.
My general proposition, then, is this: — In the Original Unity of the First Thing lies the Secondary Cause of All Things, with the Germ of their Inevitable Annihilation." [He believed that the Universe would eventually collapse in on itself - or 'return to original Unity' ]
Your news about the passport being pulled - and ancillary 'punishments' are breath-takingly clear signs of that 'collapse' being in progress. The world has not only been turned upside down by the madness of mensch in lab coats... it's become quite untethered from anything faintly 'real.' I'd had a hunch that the snowy wasteland north of 49 was an epicenter of that collapse... now you've provided the proof! I do hope they'll Not succeed in driving you to madness - like your C19th precursor!
I've only ever known 1 man in my life who was likely an agent. (Not one of the types that go around flashing their CIA id or CSIS - the Canadian equivalent) An actual spy is someone who you'll never be 100% sure who they were.
The story he had of his life was that he started a modelling agency in high school, and eventually his "business" became successful enough that he relocated from Montreal to Ottawa - the capital of Canada to work for the Federal government. After some years there was a "situation" with a foreign dignitary and one or more of his "models" and after taking care of it he was made to do an emergency relocation to Vancouver, about 3000 miles away. And his "modeling" agency was closed up.
His new job in Vancouver was as an executive at a private security company, the one that was famous for starting the ID scanning program at Vancouver's downtown bars. Private security companies, such as Garda, G4S, and Private Military Contractors (e.g. Academi/Blackwater) are the "go to" retirement job.
He said he was waiting to finish up his 25 years of service so he could retire out and move out to a rural farm estate in the carribbean. He said he planned to cut ties with everyone on the socialite scene in Vancouver except his girlfriend who he hoped to marry and me , an ER doctor. He didn't want anyone to know of his whereabouts.
Just over a year later, a backpack that he carried always carried with him everywhere, that had a laptop and a "red" Canadian passport was stolen. It was only a couple weeks later that Jerry "fell" off the pedestrian walkway of a bridge on-ramp onto the concrete road below.
The vancouver police ruled it a "suicide".
The significance of the "Red" canadian passport, is that I suspect it is only issued to diplomats, former prime ministers and other high level crown agents such as the governor general. As such that passport probably has no expiry and is held for "life".
When he lost the mobility of the highest Canadian passport, my friend was "trapped" in Canada within a jurisdiction controlled by the Crown.
To this day I suspect his death was the Canadian Crown "cleaning up" the liability of his knowledge of an "incident" in Ottawa over a decade prior.
Hi plan to "disappear" to a farm in the Caribbean, cutting ties with everyone on a very active social circle in Vancouver, seemed somewhat out of character, especially for the most sociable person I have ever known. That is unless he suspected people were after him, and "disappearing" was the only way to stay alive.
Dr. Nagase I subscribe to your substack, but didn't get notification about this post... Just found it ACCIDENTALLY...
