Welcome to Classified-K

Behind the scenes & counter-subversion

First of all, please enjoy this picture of my favourite two CIA agents.

Yes, I know I’ve used that image before, but I like it, it’s my website, and I get to do what I like.

They are indeed watching you, readers dearest, keeping their keen eyes on you, by the way, but don’t let us mischievous felines unnerve you. If you’re under surveillance, assume it’s for your own good.

So, welcome to my new section, which I am calling Classified-K. I have been minded to do this for a while now so, rather than indulge in my usual procrastination, I thought I would just go ahead and do it. If it doesn’t work we’ll soon find out and I can always remove it later.

There are quite a few reasons why this seems like the proverbial good idea at the time.

First, I find the subject matter increasingly menacing my mind to the extent that I have enough thoughts going through my head to merit an entire section.

Second, although I originally intended to put this kind of stuff in the Alters section, which would make that somewhat eclectic, that section is fast becoming eclectic anyway. Furthermore, if I want to say serious things, Alters is not the place for it. That section should be entertaining, not disturbing. On that note, by the way, apparently it is possible to choose which sections you get notifications about – it’s in your settings somewhere. Something to do with toggles. Likewise, I recognise that many of my subscribers may well have an aversion to what some call ‘conspiracy theories’ (in a deliberately derogatory way – to put people off asking pertinent questions) and may be here more for my ironic and amusing speculative fiction (don’t worry – I have a lot of that lined up too). And one must, in situations such as this, be considerate towards one’s readership, and genuinely so – especially if one wishes to make some kind of living out of all this, which I would love to do.

Ah, hold on – I just uncovered another two agents. These two work in domestic subversion, COINTELPRO.

Third, as suggested when you subscribe and reach the options page, if you go paid then I said you’d get behind the scenes and classified stuff. So I should make good on that one. Given that I don’t exactly have that many subscribers right now there is little point in doing paid-only articles, but that can likewise be altered later. So in that sense, hopefully the first series of articles in this new section might serve as a juicy enticement. By ‘behind the scenes’, I was really referring to Katrina’s story (and backstory), much of which involves classified information. Yes, when you get to read the long series (bear with me on that one) you will get a lot of this kind of behind the scenes stuff, but it won’t tell you everything. So, you could think of this as maybe spin-offs and bonus material and such like. You will also get an insight into operational details and investigations, most notably the investigation which will have the codename VIGIL. Given that if you are following Katrina’s Journal you will soon be reaching a kind of turning point, it seems sensible on my part to lure you in somehow with some sweet-scented privilege gaps. You will end up knowing just a little bit more than Katrina herself does, and that’s going to alter your perception.

Still, I wouldn’t want to give away too many spoilers.

I’m sure there was a fourth reason but it seems to have escaped my mind. So maybe I’ll just leave it there.

Well then, I think that’s all I really need to say for now. I already have a first article almost ready to go, and it’s going to be controversial. So don’t say you weren’t warned.

Ah – I thought of a fourth. I have counter-subversion agent on my bio – so I’d better start living up to it.

With that in mind and while we’re on that subject, guess what? Yeah, you got it – I exposed another agent.

This one’s J. Edgar Hoover.

Enjoy.
