{Like all the agents at Sherman Kent, I got shitfaced the night before commencement. If you got a problem with that, just know that all the top brass were liquoring up with us too.

Even Bookworm Moe from Espionage knocked down a few. You know, he was Muslim but when he did Quantico they explained to him that he would be assigned undercover and would have to drink if those that were in the group he was spying on drank. He would even have to get stoned.

The next morning we go to commencement . You didn’t know what to expect because you had the press, military officers, CIA, FBI and who knows what. On top of that everyone was feeling a little woozy. I got to admit though, most agents can hold their alcohol.

I’m feeling a little loaded, but I’m still tuned in. That's one thing I can give myself credit for is that no matter how much I drink I can always tune in. You’re going to call me a school boy, but I learned how to tune in when I was a kid and read The Red Badge of Courage. The light kicked in for that kid with the rifle and it kicks in for me when it has to also.

The commencement wasn't supposed to be a class- we've had enough of them. The Captain, the Chaplin, General Mathias- all give pretty thorough discourses though. I started thinking “Do they want us to remember all this?”.

So, then Doctor Svenson gets up there. He was a psychiatrist and the trainer for the esoteric stuff. He taught the classes on how to deal with grays, the occult, brain washing, strange traditions and beliefs and so on. He’s like you’ll probably never have to use this information, but Intelligence mandates we teach it just in case.

In the middle of our Sherman Kent CIA Commencement, Svenson starts talking about how in the future the world is going to learn about “Chauvans”. He says the CIA already calls them Jades or Project Jade.

I bet you no-one in the class was even paying attention. I was. I remember this like it was yesterday. I guess he was able to talk about it in the open because it was just hypothetical, but it was quite uncanny.

The chauvans were writings they had back in the bible. The disciples would put these writings on the crates that had fish and loaves of bread on it. All of a sudden it goes from being like food for five, to food for 5,000. Literally.

Sven said that this was accepted as proven and recorded by all four writers of the Gospel. He said that wasn’t the only time it happened. In the books by Mark and Matthew they have other accounts of additional “quantifying” too.

Sven said some reputable gnostic gospels detail these miracles; that Jesus took some papyrus and wrapped it around the food and then it spontaneously multiplied. The same thing with the Miracle of Cana. He leaves the scene for a while, comes back with this paper, wraps it around something and it multiplies, even the barrels of wine.

In all these cultures there’s always gods that deal with expansion. With the Romans you had Jupiter, the Greeks Zeus, the Jews called it Yahweh- yeah there was even a story in the Old Testament where Moses wraps that papyrus around some bread and all of a sudden bread and quail start falling from the sky.

To me it's funny that no one wants to say what the word “Quantico” really means. The school taught us it was the name a Doeg village recorded by English colonists as Pamacocack. The towns people I spoke with used to always tell me it was an Indian word meaning “by a large stream”.

To me it sounds more like it derived from the Anglo-French word for quantity. A lot of the English words were French. It was funny how paranoid the Pentagon got when they found out Dogecoin was a currency with unlimited quantity.

Then it’s strange why so much of Intelligence oversite comes from Bethesda. More than DC and Virginia combined. Is it just a coincidence that Bethesda sounds so much like Bethsaida, Israel where all those miracles took place?

Last week Moe contacted the Pentagon about the radicals getting a military shipment. They were getting grenades shipped in a regular box about the size of a microwave oven. It was wrapped in brown paper.

Moe knew he would get caught if he tried to intercept it, so he just ripped some of the paper so he could see what the box looked like. It was a plain brown box. Moe said he saw some weird writing on the back of the brown paper that was torn. He said, "We track them as getting about two of those boxes a week but somehow now they have an entire arsenal full of grenades."}
