Well, there's a type who takes a story and makes it their own...not saying she is, but if the other things I saw are even half true, it seems like this bunch of illuminati wouldn't let anyone go free short of Jesus Himself intervening. That part is believable.. And so far I'm having a little trouble believing "debutante" groups of a thousand at a time in a mass defloration ceremony by one man. Although it might explain the Pindar story. But it isn't reasonable to imagine thousands of people involved and being recruited in such large groups now and then. It would get noticed after a while. So, thinking about "a thousand points of light," and light being illumination, a group of a thousand illuminati total seems more likely. If they are all tight, they could keep their secrets. "Bloodlines" are only important to security, and develop in reality because the need to keep disgusting activities secret encourages incest. Wish I could locate the text I remember. Seems like recruitment was not strictly relatives. Anyway, in the context of The Letters, the mixed reactions make me think the message would have a general sort of meaning for most people, and another level of meaning to a few. Such as, "Another point of light is gone." Or "Every light burns out eventually." That wouldn't be too weird at a funeral, but the Bushes, who I think were the target, would get the idea.
