I agree. This appears to be the case in the Canadian situation, at least
according to what I have read in THE CANADIAN THEOSOPHIST. The ES attempted
to exert control over the agenda in the Section, creating an adversarial
relationship between it and the non-ES membership resulting in irreconcilable
differences. The ES won with an "excommunication" from a sympathetic Adyar.
Over the years, the ES has taken on the form of a "shadow government" much
like the so-called "Majestic 12" in UFO lore.
