I won't comment on more than this one thing.
I don't think that it was simply back-room maneuvering. Lee was making statements in various meetings, conferences, etc. It was bits and pieces that were scattered around like bread crumbs. But as long as we stayed focused on today's message and just swung from the rafters over that one, we were missing the trail. Ray, and others, saw the trail before others did. And it is possible that there was something from the "back rooms" where the crumbs were intentionally brought closer together so that they were easier to find at one time. But anyone who says that Lee never called himself the MOTA (or didn't do it before some date in the late 80s or early-mid 90s) then they didn't see the existence of the bread crumbs prior to that time. We may only realize it in hindsight. But Lee said it.
