Brilliant. I read That Hideous Strength when I was maybe 16 or 18. Back then I saw it as great Sci-Fi / Fantasy. I had no clue of the implications going on - the sinister Tavistock Institute and so on. As you say, very real implications for the future... certainly our time. In the end, these technocrats can't leave well alone, they have an innate urge to shepherd humanity towards a far better future - which always turns out to be hellish. It's the conceit of the human I think... which works via a mix of internal dialog and emotions, a feedback loop... as they likely have no conscious awareness or what I call "higher I" they are about as aware as a Jerry Springer guest was, just a more "upmarket" demographic. That to me is the issue of the human species.

If you want to go down the rabbit hole further, google "hitler self portrait bridge" Hitler was probably programmed by the Tavistock clinic, during the end of and post WWI . That bridge is very unique, it is postbridge near Tavistock on Dartmoor.

Francis Drake (Draco/Dragon) was a son of Tavistock and is reputed to return in 'endtimes' to save Albion, you just have to beat his drum, which is saved for the purpose.

One odd thing probably not relevant is the sheep on the crest of Tavistock, if the go to St Augustine fort in Florida you will see the same motif.
