Secretive and conspiratorial organizations are exceptionally vulnerable to
infiltration and takeover by other secretive conspiratorial groups. This
led to a peculiar situation among the numerous little trotskyist factions
where each Trotskyite secret caucus contained an inner secret caucus
controlled by yet another Trotskyite secret caucus hostile to the first
secret caucus, and even though nothing much was at stake other than the
official line to be upheld in pamphlets no one read, they invested huge
energies in ever more complicated plots and counter plots, infiltrations
and counter infiltrations.
It is entirely plausible that KGB has infiltrated Opus Dei, and Opus Dei
has infiltrated the KGB, and both have probably infiltrated the CIA and
FBI, who are also probably spying on each other.
