New developments

At the GNU Public dictatorship we are nothing if not pleased to be announcing the new developments that we have recently uncovered, which is why we are taking the time to compose this post detailing the important discoveries we are talking about.  When we last posted we had two open questions that have now been resolved, at least in part.  The first was the identity of the investor that bought the brads, evil stickers, and hole punches from the New Company.  The second was whether the League and the Society are the same organization or different, competing movements within a larger coalition.

The answer to the first question is that the investor who bought the evil office products division of the New Company was none other than the subject of the second question, The Society.  The answer to the second question is that the League and the Society are both extant organizations and members of the single Coalition.  It appears that the League has been operating longer, and has been spreading the Secrets and the Manuscript to worthy and faithful members of society.  One of those members, whose given name is still a little unclear, but who goes by the pseudonym of "Mentor", decided to buy a franchise from the League.  Unfortunately, due to arcane copyright restrictions, his franchise couldn't use the name of the original League as run by "Tom", so he came up with the Society.  The two organizations are the primary members of the Coalition, which appears to be made up of at least seven different organizations that revere the same Secrets and Manuscript.  If you consider their beliefs and methods, each of these organizations might as well be the same organization.  The differences arise in the personalities of their leaders.  "Mentor" has apparently taken a shine to evil office products, but what he intends to do with them is unclear as of yet.  "Tom" did send "Mentor" a note last week informing him that his latest purchase is of an evil nature, but we haven't seen a reply from "Mentor" yet.

You can be sure that we will let you know more about the Coalition and their methods, goals, and investments as we learn more about them.  At the GPD we are nothing if not happy to share with you!
