Editing M.A.N. Agency (section)

=== The Redmond Initiative (1991) ===
Following the Agency’s formal consolidation in 1991, Black Man and White Man shifted focus from structural embedding to '''l'''ong-term influence cultivation. Rather than expanding through brute acquisition, they began selectively investing in ''individuals''—men whose careers, if guided correctly, could generate influence organically across generations. One of the earliest and most consequential of these investments was [[Samuel Redmond]].

At the time, Redmond was a graduate instructor and junior lecturer, academically gifted but financially strained. He was married, supporting a growing family, and struggling to balance principle with survival. To the founders of the M.A.N. Agency, this combination made him neither weak nor corruptible—but ''malleable''.

Redmond possessed a deep and uncommon expertise in '''labor unions, collective bargaining structures, and institutional labor politics'''. More importantly, he understood how ideology was formed in classrooms long before it manifested on streets or in boardrooms. Black Man and White Man recognized that universities were not merely educational institutions, but '''incubators of future power'''.

Through intermediaries, the Agency quietly stabilized Redmond’s financial situation. No contracts were signed. No allegiance was declared. What Redmond received was framed as opportunity—research grants, consulting offers, anonymous benefactors. In return, he was never asked for obedience, only ''access''. Within a few years, Samuel Redmond rose to a full professorship at the '''University of San Andreas (ULSA)'''.
