In all major socializing forces you will find an underlying movement to gain and
maintain power through the use of words. From witch doctor to priest to
bureaucrat it is all the same. A governed populace must be conditioned to accept
power-words as actual things, to confuse the symbolized system with the tangible
universe. In the maintenance of such a power structure, certain symbols are kept
out of the reach of common understanding -- symbols such as those dealing with
economic manipulation or those which define the local interpretation of sanity.
Symbol-secrecy of this form leads to the development of fragmented sublanguages,
each being a signal that its users are accumulating some form of
power. With this insight into a power process, our Imperial Security Force must
be ever alert to the formation of sub-languages.
