There are several right wing organizations that rely on Devos/Prince money. They have plenty of control in the movement. ---

I read somewhere that the rough personell count is 20,000 (not to sure on its accuracy though). Now assuming not every one of these guys is a money hungry, morally bankrupt, dog of war, the personell count would lower to about 10,000 I’d say. Am I the only one scared of 10,000 fully armed, trained men, working for only one guy who seems to be more unstable than francium?
