Affinity film and Black Friday, 1940 film are some of the problems going on - "I loathe my evil, but I intended to stupefy your people"...Millbankers were sent here to undermine the country...? Some dialogue in the Black Friday film lead me to think they were teaching hypnosis to these people, then I recollect the same in Affinity and an attempt to cover it up in The Illusionist...
While viewing Black Friday I decoded the name Devore and came of with O.V. Reed. When I did a search this link came up and I found G. V. Reed.
