The Danger Of The Fetzer Assassination School

[Jan Klimkowski]

I confess that I have been and continue to be confused about what the doppelganger strategy is. Mind expanding a bit?

Lauren - I don't want to disrupt the thread but....

In fiction and folklore, a doppelgänger (German "double walker") (pronounced [ˈdɔpəlˌɡɛŋɐ] ( listen)) is a paranormal double of a living person, typically representing evil or misfortune.

Charles has a strong sense of the use of the doppelganger theme in intel ops, and he may choose to expand a little.

I suspect I use the doppelganger theme more loosely than Charles.

I want it to trigger resonances....

The Harvey and Lee gambit...

Mengele's experiments on twins...

Chicago as the inevitable spectre of Dallas...

Borges' Garden of Forking Paths, the shifting sands of choice...

Doppelgangers make Their script turns so much richer, Their options for deniability so much more plausible, Their sowing of seeds so much more fecund.

And if a researcher gets too close, the doppelganger play can destroy his credibility without need of violence....

As Pynchon wrote:
"Manicheans who see two rockets . . . a good rocket to take us to the stars, an evil rocket for the World's suicide, the two perpetually in struggle....
"The rocket has to be many things . . . it must survive heresies, and heretics there will be: Gnostics who have been taken in a rush of wind and fire to chambers of the rocket throne."

As for who is riding the righteous fire....
