Në ngjarjet shoqërore nuk ka rastësira dhe nuk ka ndodhi-pasoja pa shkaqet e tyre. Shërbimet e fshehta të zgjuarsisë të një shteti kryejnë shërbime të fshehta zgjuarsie për ta mbrojtur sa më nga larg shtetin e tyre ose edhe për ta zgjeruar atë. Prandaj pëlhura e mbi 123 vjetëve të shkuara është qëndisur me gjilpërat kur-ku-kush-si-çfar-pse dhe shtrydhur njëkohësisht për t’u rrëgjuar në madhësinë e një libri dore. Çfar dihet, kuptohet, përfytyrohet për të shkuarën, të tashmen e të ardhmen peshohet kur lexohet ky libër.
