* TheConspiracy: Another subplot within the book focuses on the machinations of the Holist Council, primarily its leader Paul Willard Randolph Massey. Calling themselves the "Archons", they are a covert shadow group of wealthy individuals who seek to control and manipulate the American legal and political situation in their own favour, with the ideal outcome being a complete rewrite of the constitution. The group has operatives within the government (such as Dr. Carlton Blackburn, the Director of the CIA who covertly works on illegal psychotropic experiments similar to MKUltra under the alias of Merriman) and congress. The government seems to be aware of their existence, but they are virtually untouchable due to their influence and legal manoeuvres. Threatened by the unwavering and seemingly uninfluencable nature of President Haugen, they repeatedly try and fail to have him assassinated. [[spoiler: At the end of the novel, a retired Haugen reveals their existence to Congress, but by this time the majority are either dead or imprisoned]].
