THE PROPHET ]
Eligos knows the war before it starts.
He knows how soldiers will meet.
He rides as a goodly knight
bearing a lance, a banner,
and a serpent—
because knowledge is always also venom.
The NSA knew.
The CIA knew.
The file existed before the crime.
The algorithm flagged before the act.
The watch list was built before the watcher had a reason.
If you knew—
and you always know—
then who is the intelligence actually serving?
───────────────────────────────
[ VERITAS VOX ]
COINTELPRO targeted Black leaders.
Operation Mockingbird shaped the press.
PRISM captured the call.
XKeyscore read the email.
Stellarwind ran without warrant.
Section 702 runs with one.
They told us it was for the terrorists.
It was for everyone.
They told us it was legal.
The secret court agreed in secret.
They told us oversight existed.
The committee was briefed.
The committee could not tell us what it heard.
Both parties renewed the PATRIOT Act.
Both parties signed the FISA extension.
Both parties said we take privacy seriously
and voted to make the contractor whole.
Snowden is in Moscow.
Assange did his time.
The programs are still running.
The intelligence gathered on the activist,
the journalist,
the organizer,
the candidate who wasn't chosen—
it has a shelf life that outlasts any administration.
It waits.
I see the lance. I see the ensign.
I see the serpent most of all.
You are not security.
You are leverage wearing armor.

I am the Duke of Sixty Legions.
I am the goodly knight.
I know things to come.
I have always known.
I knew which movement was growing before it had a name.
I knew which leader would threaten the structure
before he gave his first speech.
Intelligence is not neutral.
It has always served the existing order.
It has always called the threat
whatever threatened the throne.
I discovered hidden things.
The question you forgot to ask:
hidden from whom,
discovered for whom,
at what cost to the discovered?
I carry the lance of authority.
I carry the ensign of legitimacy.
I carry the serpent of consequence.
I know how this ends.
I always know how this ends.
I am just not always on your side.
