1809. They begin by moving others out of the way, especially upright people, going after them in different ways, and of course not openly faulting them, because integrity defends itself. But they have many other methods and schemes, such as-because of those people's uprightness-distorting their suggestions, calling them bad, and saying they will bring bad luck, and all kinds of other ploys. I have learned this from actual experience when people of this kind were with me and were allowed to obtain some control within me.
