The US or WE is always false. The Counterforce 
amounts to nothing, the Trystero is just another 
force taking turf away from some other organization.

No sufficient reason has been given for not 
reading Mr. Pynchon on the surface. There may be 
no allegories and if there are, they are likely 
traps. However, for the Everything is Everything 
crowd that can be endlessly entertaining.
