This story really struck out at me in a 'connections' kind of way.
--I just three weeks ago read a Robert "Bourne Identity" Ludlum novel. (--It was one of those books which jumped out at me and fell open to a page which 'spoke' to me.)
I find it very hard to tell whether it is the Dark side trying to influence/distract me, or the Light side sending information in response to a question I've put out there, but whatever the case, I DO think that fiction can be a significant path of super-luminal communication of a sort. So I read the book.
It was trashy and silly, as expected, but there were several items which leaped out at me, which I will note here. . .
1. It was the last novel Ludlum wrote. He died the same year it was released. (I know; the tactic of killing somebody in order to send followers down the wrong path of assumption is old hat, so I only submit his death as a fact.)
2. The book was called, "The Sigma Protocol".
3. There is a real group of sci-fi authors called "Sigma" who advise government and corporate alphabet soup agencies on new and emerging trends and ideas to help in the fight against terrorists. Needless to say, these guys are all significant shareholders in, "Official Culture". There's a rather vanilla story about it here. . .

4. After reading Ludlum's Book, I can sum up the basic premise in this way. . .
Nazi scientists were given the broad dictum by Hitler to, "Envision the Future". After WWII ended, these thinkers formed a secret covenant with industrialists from all around the world in an effort to keep their research efforts going. Now sixty-odd years later, the fictional Sigma organization has grown into an invisible monolithic empire which controls the world. (Ludlum has done some solid research into how the world banking system controls everything, and there are tracts of the novel which are quite frank on this subject.) But, -oh no!- some of the founding members of this group of Nazi Thinkers have decided that the Brave New World they were charged to envision is just a little TOO evil and scary and out of control even for them, and so have decided to rebel against Sigma. I mean, after all, they were just scientists, you know? Not really bad guys. Using Nazi resources is one thing, but THIS. . !
So the fictional Sigma organization then starts killing them off; murdering those of its founding members who haven't got the stomach to see through the final stage of their Big Plan. And so a series of rich, old, respected (white) men start to die in ways which seem quite natural, but which really are not.
The end goal of Sigma, as it happens, is human immortality and total species control. Based on the notion that DNA naturally self-destructs, Nazi geneticists have found a way, (using hundreds of harvested children) to reverse the process. --But only for those who can afford the procedure. You know; the rich and powerful who are willing to aid and abet the whole scheme. The rest of the population is very much seen as a resource to be herded and used for the benefit of the human/corporate machine, to be directed by the elite, etc.
The very last page of the book makes a rather obvious dig at Bill Gates and a singular medical/biotech company he has aligned himself with.
Um. . , I suppose I might also mention that there's a case of Hitchcock-ian mistaken identity where the bad guys shot at the wrong man who, being a super-hero just waiting for his moment to emerge, then swaggers through the novel and actually, (I kid you not), infiltrates the villain's secret alpine base/laboratory and reduces it to cinders in a spectacular fireball from which he and the brazen but lovely policewoman who has been tailing him across the globe barely escape with their hot bods and simmering love intact. Ugh.
But I guess that's how a spy-novelist earns his paychecks.
However. . .
Ludlum is also a novelist who no-doubt knew of the real-life Sigma group, probably on a personal/professional level, and who according to his bio, has friends in various of the alphabet soup agencies, and who clearly held strong opinions on the whole matter.
It's entirely possible that he was just aiming to play at a bit of ego-related posthumous drama, knowing that he was on death's doorstep, but still. It struck me as share-worthy. Particularly in light of this Bill Gates foreskin creepiness. . .
I'm not suggesting that the content of The Sigma Protocol is an accurate depiction of how Bill Gates and Planned Parenthood are building a race of Supermen with harvested African foreskins. But I am suggesting that Robert Ludlum seemed to hold a very dim view of his peers in the real life Sigma group, and probably, if he used Windows, ground his teeth while doing so.
I come across connections like this frequently, and honestly, have few other places to share them. I hope this provides something useful in some manner for those reading in this forum.
