Reversing Cash Flow- the ultimate heresy

In my Riggs post "War bling and the inscrutability of motives" I am  
providing evidence  for a proposition , but I kinda leave the  
proposition and the implications of the proposition, as they say  
these days, off the table. The proposition is that Riggs is an agent  
who fingers Wolfmann  for a little "re-programming". It's all about  
the dangers of reverse cash flow.  The implication of  the  
proposition is that Wolfmann is a big enough player to represents  
enough of  a threat ( domino theory still on the table at this time)  
if he actually starts some kind of reverse cash flow( in 70s we are  
moving away from middle class wealth distribution) to draw powerful  
attention from all directions.  His abduction may represent a kind of  
clean up action addressing the potential problem represented by the  
popularity and near success of the movement expressed in the  R.  
Kennedy, George McCarthy ,Gene McCarthy campaigns, the anti-war  
movement, the civil rights /black liberation movement . After all,  
nothing represents reverse cash flow for "them" that have like  
peace.  I am not saying this is a work of literary allegory, but a  
story that reflects allegorically the political and social  issues of  
the time. Reversing the cash flow is still the high heresy of all  
movements for justice, and is still on the front pages in the health  
care debate.
