The principle is of secrets running in darkness as a basis for lawlessness that may initially arise from what seemed like a means to gain advantage in a crisis - but could not then be released. IE: The intent to use Mafia etc as a means for a war effort set up channels of mutual 'utility' that persisted into peacetime. Just as German scientists who would have hung for human experimentation were 'paperclipped' to continue their 'researches' within the USA. (Japanese 'doctors' doing similar were never even held to account).

The huge network of funding, focus and application that WW2 (in particular) brought about had a 'mind of its own' not least because it was a network of 'secret intelligence operations'.

So a collective 'cancer' from a collective trauma.

All of which are symptom to being deeply out of tune or alignment with our natural imperative - which is not merely 'survival set in threat' but a quality of life.

Also, when we are 'stuck' in terms of unable to naturally shift, we generate crisis (individually) that are specific to bringing forth the needed change. (this will also mean the realigning and renewal of a living science in my opinion).
