My own conjecture is that despite knowing about the plans for the coup Moi, Mulinge etc "allowed" the coup to proceed so as to justify and legitimize the massive oppression, detentions without trial, dictatorship that followed.

And to have all these versions, we must have a 'basket' of very 'peculiar' proportions and dimensions. Otherwise we'd have no version. There'd be no word. 'Nothing to say'.

The 'basket' is no doubt subjective experience, in that it is an object of 'cognition', but it is wholly 'objective' in the sense of having an 'end'.

It is to this 'end' that the 'historian' must 'strive'. These are the 'weighing scales'. They are the Sovereign Creator', 'The People'.

This thread is holy ground, I take off my shoes.
