Mithras Rising and the New Praetorians

Like a lot of you I wasn't expecting that. But it makes more sense as we move on and more information comes to the surface. It may well be that what we just witnessed- though hardly anyone realized it, or will realize it- was the end result of a secret war between powerful factions of the Deep State. Well, perhaps not the end result but certainly a climax.
