It's actually closer to a cult -- a small group with it's own shared reality -- a reality quite at variance with societal norms. The cult has its own terminology, and an underlying dogma to which these code words refer. The cult has "special knowledge" that has been revealed to them concerning massive changes that will happen to society -- changes that will usher in a new world order. These changes may involve the world going through a cleansing fire of war of war and destruction.

Ahhh, look, the spook speaks.

Certain of the members sport a messiah or a martyr complex. It is also quite common for cults to call for arming the brethren against the coming struggle -- even the Heaven's Gate group apparently had stashes of weapons.

It's all so predictable.

I would just like to say this: Kent is a shill. Let me say it again: Kent is a shill. He's so predictable.
