We No Longer Have the Dark Arts Nor Practitioners.

This by an old colleague from Special Branch.

A further vaguely law and order-related posting concerned the occupation at Columbia University in New York, where the occupiers are asking for food and water to be supplied by the uni because some of them (Presumably those who actually attend Columbia but not including the Extreme Left hordes who will have taken over the event) have meal contracts with the uni as part of their fees).

An online post about this, by a certain Judah Waxelbaum,  who may not be wholly unbiased, states that we are back in the late 1960s and he wonders whether the students know if their protests relate to Palestine or Palestine, Texas, or indeed Est Palestine Ohio (scene of the recent spectacular train wreck).

NYPD have said that events are being influenced by extremist outsiders. As a former practitioner of the Dark Arts in this area, I'm absolutely sure that's the case. At least NYPD seem to be monitoring this. The geniuses at New Scotland Yard and City Hall who abolished my former unit which dealt with this kind of thing  are now reaping the whirlwind because the officers on the streets have no intelligence about what's likely to happen. 

In the division of labour which occurred in my old unit, Education was my field of endeavour - we once prevented an attempt to attack Parliament over the student loan issue - unlike the Capitol events of 1/6 the enemy had no guns. explosives or chemical sprays, but I'm sure they intended to make a nasty mess had they not been prevented from gaining access.

I'm afraid it's probably too late to re-invent the wheel. I used to have French colleagues who dealt with this stuff in Paris in 1968. Their word for these people was "soixante-huitard". Many of them are now politicians, journalists, TV Producers, etc.
