GR translation: And how they know it

[Mike Jing]

V712.36-713.8, P727.1-15   Well, if the Counterforce knew better what those
categories concealed, they might be in a better position to disarm,
de-penis and dismantle the Man. But they don’t. Actually they do, but they
don’t admit it. Sad but true. They are as schizoid, as double-minded in the
massive presence of money, as any of the rest of us, and that’s the hard
fact. The Man has a branch office in each of our brains, his corporate
emblem is a white albatross, each local rep has a cover known as the Ego,
and their mission in this world is Bad Shit. We do know what’s going on,
and we let it go on. As long as we can see them, stare at them, those
massively moneyed, once in a while. As long as they allow us a glimpse,
however rarely. We need that. And how they know it—how often, under what
conditions . . . . We ought to be seeing much popular-magazine coverage on
the order of The Night Rog and Beaver Fought Over Jessica While She Cried
in Krupp’s Arms, and drool over every blurry photo—

The "how" in "And how they know it" is for emphasis, is that correct?
