AUTHORS NOTE:

I'd like to thank the entirety of the Khitari Records team in the United States, as well as a few of the other members outside, like Avrash and Karl Strauss. I especially thank the Blavatnik Foundation, for pushing and shoving those corporate assholes to get a lot of this stuff, and for funding my research for the greater part of 5 years.

Stay Safe. Stay Secret. Keep the Record.


"You don't actually think they're—us, do you? That's… that's utterly ridiculous!"

""It's not ridiculous. It's extremely plausible."

""Well, the papers sure think so."

""And you're not sure?""

Freeh: "—been digging around, just plowing through these records the fuckin' Bureau released decades ago."

Chatton: "Who the fuck authorized that? I've been at Mobeez for fifteen years. That shit would've had ta go through me."

Freeh: "Exactly."

Chatton: "Hey the fuck? You accusing me or some shit?"

Freeh: "I'm Director of the goddamn Bureau. You know this. Give me the files, I clean up your mess. It's that simple."

Chatton: "You think I trust the fuck-fuck FBI to clean up my mess? No fuckin' way."

Freeh: "We have records on at least 30 Records members. Heh. Records on records."

Freeh: "We should probably tell the President about the biggest secret in the fucking world. Now."

Chatton: "He still doesn't know? The hell you been doing over there? No way. We're keeping this secret for now.

"Well that doesn't prove anything. We've known they hated us for years."

"Well, yeah. What's that little woodsman group? Pathward?.. Whatever. The point stands."

"All I want to know, is why don't they bug these little groups as much. We ain't bothered them once."

"Probably those stupid-ass Mariposa researchers."

"Damn. That was us? I don't know any Upshaw in Khitari."

"Exactly. Hurricane Josephine? All a cover-up. For a cover-up."

"Wait, so a44 made it into Albany?"

"Think of this. Psycho-amnesethetics. In the tens of thousands. False news reports. Bet they were lucky there was a real storm going on to help cover it up."

"Holy shit."
