"Mentor" (For real this time)

From time to time we here at the GNU Public Dictatorship like to help our faithful world citizens out by telling them what we know about the people who are trying to manipulate them and control them, since at the GPD we are nothing if not concerned about helping you fit in to our organization and achieve your potential.  To that end, we are now going to share what we have learned about the man who goes by the pseudonym "Mentor" and leads a group called the Society.

First of all, we know that "Mentor" is a man and that his name at birth was Franklin Thigpen.  He was born into indigent circumstances in the mountains of Tennessee, but he soon discovered something that helped him rise above those humble beginnings and make something of himself.  He claims that it was the Secrets which are encoded in a 1216-page Manuscript that he got from a secret society, and that when he discovered them he came into himself.  Our research was inconclusive as to the cause of his sudden change of fortune.

Anyway, for the last few years Franklin a.k.a "Mentor" has been sharing the Secrets with those he considered worthy of his attention and helping them to achieve their own potential.  Secret societies are terrible at record keeping, so we have been unable to confirm that he has helped several million people as he claims, but we do know from financial records we were able to acquire that he has sold several copies of the Manuscript.  Recently Franklin read about evil office products on this forum, and, instead of heeding our warnings, decided that they were just the thing to bend people to his will.  We have had him under surveillance since he offered to by the New Company's interests in evil office products, and we have found that he is truly a force to be reckoned with.  He has a group of loyal followers that already do his will without questioning him, and if he can get more "loyal" followers by getting them dependent on his office products we will have a formidable enemy on our hands.  We are asking all of our loyal World Citizens to join us in educating the public about the dangers of evil office products so that we can keep "Mentor" from becoming a serious threat to the New Future!
