I took some poetic license with this. The map in the background is of the Groton / New London Connecticut area. The New London Ledge Light is allegedly haunted, but it doesn't look like the lighthouse image I used for my art piece.

How is your controlled opposition US Naval Intelligence (USNI) guy doing? [redacted] got me connected with him, but they didn't tell me he was USNI. Then [redacted] created the [redacted] conspiracy theory. Later, your USNI guy created / pushed the [redacted] conspiracy theory.

How about y'all suppressing free speech with threats? "we will pursue this aggressively and relentlessly through all criminal and civil legal channels. We have the resources to do so." We? Who is "we"? Would that be you and [redacted] who works for US DoD? Maybe [redacted] who works for US NSA offered his help too? I wonder what the statistical odds are of that many specialized US Government employees entering the same orbit that I was in, if [redacted] was to be believed. What's that smell? Is it the whiff of entrapment?

But I deleted all of my proof, so no one will believe me on that score, either. Which leaves me swinging in the breeze.

This week’s Take a Word challenge was "Twosome/Pair/Duo."

I have two sets of pairs:  a pair of birds (2x), and a pair of theatre masks (2x). I also wanted this piece to illicit a feeling of ordered disorder. But I think the end result borders on a chaotic mess, instead.
