Although Miller implies there was no such person as 'Snake' Thompson, he did in fact exist. William Sims Bainbridge,<br />

the eminent sociologist and author of several papers on Scientology, reports this vignette of the man:<br />

"Snake Thompson was the best friend of my great uncle, Con (Consuelo Seoane). Together, around 1911, they<br />

spent nearly two years as American spies inside the Japanese Empire, charting possible invasion routes and<br />

counting all the Japanese fortifications and naval guns. It was an official but top secret joint Army-Navy spy<br />

expedition, with Con representing the Army, and Snake, the Navy. They pretended to be South African naturalists<br />

studying Japanese reptiles and amphibians, and Con was constantly worried that Snake had a camera hidden in his<br />

creel, which would get them shot if the Japanese checked too closely. Thompson habitually wore a green scarf<br />

fastened with a gold pin in the shape of a snake." (private email, quoted by Rob Clark, in article<br />
