Marx once remarked,de te fabula narratur.
He must have encountered many government and Prussian agents in the rabbit Warren of vice which was the London of the day where prostitution was rampant...
So what did he mean other than that a spy was trying to direct attention from himself onto the listener with an analogy or allegorical tale of mischief or that old eighteenth century offence "misconduct"...
In O Murchu's and Mc Cartan's case they have the status of intermediaries with the police and representatives of the state within political parties and micro-groups such as the Communist Party as does Kostick- and Barrett -Cusick within the PBP front group for disparate interests. Theirs is a game learned from the Duchess,O Riordain,of suborning others to spy on a fourth party. O Murchu and Mc Cartan work for the Gardai. They are what the Stasi called "informal co-operators" or what the police mafia post in a writer's direction in the North call "a listening ear" or "a B-man"....
I kid you not. Relax! If you are not involved in politics,you will meet very few informers,to give those parasites their proper name and if you have not been involved in paramilitaries,you will rarely face the gauntlet and mailed fist...
