My Dear Mogslopper,

Clearly you missed my most salient point in the last post--that Rebellion is a tool of Hell, but like other things can be used by the Enemy for His own Purposes. This principle goes for many of our weapons and devices. Few, but significant, humans have walked through their lives abandoned to this or that vice, veritable playthings of their tempters, and then without warning have been swept up onto the Path of the Enemy. Precious qualities sown deeply into them over decades, those fortresses of habit we thought in our grasp, were decisively turned to the advantage of the Other. Of course, it goes without saying that our primary occupation is not to keep the humans to some sort of Straight and Narrow, in the manner the Enemy demands His followers progress. Instead, we need only to jar them slightly, but persistently, off course. Our Path is Broad and easy to tread. Let us, for instance, examine your patient. We have already established that he is an American. Some excellent points of leverage there. He also lives in the part known as the Midwest. Again, a certain character template--though their hearts are softer, so are their heads. Use it to your advantage. What else? Does he live with any other human? Is he a father or brother or husband? Is he a fairly sociable one or more of a recluse? Does he shave? Drink alcohol? Go to a church? Drive a fancy automobile? Pick at his teeth with mechanical pencils? Do not assume I am being humorous or facetious in my inquiries, Mogslopper. Any habit, living situation, idiosyncrasy, secret shortcoming, method of eating or speaking, even purchasing tendencies, can give us the advantage we need to twist your patient into a horrible parody of himself. All the while, the Enemy's servants are trying to make him into the unsophisticated lout he was created to be and we are rearranging him to make him more--shall we say dressed(?)--for our Cause. In your next report, I expect a detailed list of his situation, his character, his foibles, his faults. Also those of his closest associates. I am certain that we will find your first patient quite, eh, satisfying when his conversion is complete. Keep me posted, Your Dear Old Uncle
