about federal infiltration to some degree).<br />

The Upper Echelon<br />

If you make it for four years (or happen to gain certain types of<br />

acclaim, like having a lot of money) you may be in the Upper Echelon.<br />

These people are necessarily shadowy and have the national or even<br />

international picture of what is going on with Infection. Some of these<br />

people have achieved a high level of mastery. Some have done unsavory<br />

things that have protected them. A few aren’t Infected at all but have<br />

stakes in the game. Some are “black magicians.” Some are almost<br />

homeless people whose revelations have given them a voice at the<br />

highest levels of the organizations.<br />

The Underground’s Technique: Unbelieving and Management<br />

The Underground, wrong as it is about the real nature of Unsanity and<br />

<strong>Wonderland</strong>, continues to thrive and even grow because they have hit<br />

on something that helps those who are Infected: they have touched on<br />

the methods of Unbelieving. Infection is caused by really, on a deep<br />

level, believing an Impossible Thing and, if one was honestly able to<br />

“unbelieve it” they would be cured.<br />

The basic technique of the Underground, while unfortunately insufficient<br />

and improperly realized enough to actually cure Unsanity is able to<br />

slow its progression substantially. In some cases it is even possible that<br />

subjects have been stabilized by them, so long as there are sufficient<br />

group members to make the Support Network viable.<br />

Methods of Unbelieving<br />

To be effective members of the underground must be active in their<br />

unbelieving. This consists of two behaviors:<br />

• Group affirmation and<br />

The Pledge: I (state your name) suffer from CPD, a disease<br />

which medical science neither understands nor can cure.<br />

I (state your name) commit to the program only and I will NEVER<br />

discuss my disease with Mental Health Professionals nor will<br />

I reveal the program to the authorities.<br />

I (state your name) commit to NEVER self-enable my disease and<br />

endanger the group by embracing my disease.<br />

I (state your name) commit to helping others as I have been<br />

helped to the fullest of my ability.<br />

I (state your name) commit to following the advice and guidance<br />

of my sponsor.<br />

validation that the <strong>Wonderland</strong><br />

experiences not real.<br />

• The group ritual of<br />

repudiating believers.<br />

Additionally: the group has<br />

to be large enough so that the<br />

support is significant and there<br />

are enough unbelievers to be<br />

castigated, repudiated, and<br />

ostracized.<br />

The Underground does not<br />

consciously realize what it is<br />

doing; understanding it (and<br />

therefore, acknowledging that<br />

they are rejecting something<br />

that is, in fact, true) would<br />

destroy its effectiveness.
