A final comment on this page, where the resolutely hidden ones initiated such a wonderfully principled campaign against the Hidden Agenda of someone whose identity and worldview have been known and whose reputation has thus been on the line from day one on Why and before that on Wiki.

For many years I have made the choice to object strongly and openly to certain groups in the Western World that have operated with what seems like quite unnecessary secrecy. This springs directly from my faith in Jesus, the world leader who used only truth, never manipulation, always respecting the informed choice of individuals to change the future of the nations for good. And this is clear: never before have I seen such secrecy used so ineptly as on Why, especially here on Hidden Agenda. Thank you for the encouragement we can all take from that, whoever you are.

The sweep of Why History reveals this as a key moment of resolve and uncovering of host motives. The most important telling of the story is in Why Would One Bother. As for the Faceless Rulers, perhaps they were thinking compassionately about Assisted Dying? As for Jesus Action, I was talking to him about Protection Against Murder. It seems to have worked.
