Lee acknowledged his brother with a nod and responded “Yes, I did hear something about that”. John seemed indifferent, “Do you think anything, can be done?” Lee, “Its a free world, and speech is protected”. John responded, “Well if you have any thoughts, let me know”. The brothers spoke in this cryptic language as a precaution. In their world they needed to be be aware of being taped or bugged.
Their father had instructed them “Speak like you have the Justice Department sitting on your shoulder” , they understood, act like people expect you to act, say the things you're expected to say.
A week later Lee mentioned to John, “Did you happen to see the news?”, John “anything specific?”, “A reporter for Rolling Stone magazine died yesterday,

Unfortunately for the Iranians the selection of a hidden site was perfect in terms of concealment, it was by necessity close to volcanoes and untapped oil reserves.
The volcanoes and oil functioned as a natural protection. The brothers remembered a verse from Psalm 18:2-3;

A Buckler is a metaphoric name for God as a shield. How perfect to their sense of justice that this natural shield would destroy their enemies.
They were satisfied, “You can go”, Lee said to the adviser, this was standard, the adviser left, he came in with no paper and left with nothing. The Mora brothers wanted nothing in writing, the adviser quickly stood and
