To add a little more to this, the arrest of the plateman by the US SS did not appear in any newspaper anywhere. That I am aware of anyway, and I looked. Hence you'll find nothing anywhere about this event. Period. For all intents and purposes it never happened. I don't even know if a prosecution took place. I suspect not given the below. But, at least, a main player was taken out of circulation, and the activities of people connected to one US agency were brought to a halt by the good work of members of another US agency. Not so much a turf war, I think, as a cleaning of the stables on this matter.
I was sent a contemporaneous micro-cassette giving a blow by blow account of the arrest, beginning just priot=r to it going down, then as it happened etc., complete with "sound effects". Besides that I had a full background of personalities involved and contacts etc. And the contacts of the plateman were extraordinarily interesting. A certain address of an apartment in Langley, Virginia. A drop box it seems. And that address was instantly recognised, as being the drop box also used by one other at an earlier time in that other persons career.
It's all long ago and I now am drawing on memory.
As I said, I wanted to write this story. Desperately so. But how do you stand something like this up? It would have been laughed off as being one man's crazed ravings.
So, in the end, I did nothing. I still regret that.

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.
