Tiers in the Reign(1992)

the first tier.

Evan rainy considered the dog and pony show he did with the initial investors

.the "step right in..and  SEE the Snake lady crawl on her hands and knees"circus barker antics  preformed at lodges and living rooms

beneath him
He also considered the people  he dealt with at these presentations beneath him
but these so called "secret societies" if nothing else, knew how to keep secrets

eccentric

agenda-ists

who wore funny hats and robes...and capes.
 with either hate ,bigotry or "magic" on their minds

The type of minds that Evan's father
thought would be the perfect audience
to present something as ethically uncomfortable as"mind control" to
Gary Rainy wondered what these
these conjurerers ,quacks and choirboys would think of
synthetic telepathic influence that really could cast spells on another
not mumble jumble ,Celtic chants ,cauldrons or supernatural decree

some groups wanted a Jew to play with

some a Homosexual

some an Afro-American
some  just ,"a girl."

the Muralists who would program interior monologues and scenarios for the specific needs of the "secret"society sect or collective

all the while collecting less

"edgy" neural reads for future clients,who would never know how the initial  neural data collections and neural interpretations  were  financed
