Political commentary for conspiracists is a bit like being on Jeopardy. You're answers must be in the form of a question.
"A phrase (it often happened when he was exhausted) kept cycling round and round, preconsciously, just under the threshold of lip and tongue movement: 'Events seem to be ordered into an ominous logic.' It repeated itself automatically and Stencil improved on it each time, placing emphasis on different words -- 'events _seem_'; 'seem to be _ordered_'; '_ominous_ logic' -- pronouncing them differently, changing the 'tone of voice' from sepulchral to jaunty: round and round and round. Events seem to be ordered into an ominous logic. He found paper and pencil and began to write the sentence in varying hands and type faces."
