Makes me think Castle_Rock could be referring to the shadow government white house. But I don't think the context fits.

In the novel "Lord of the Flies", the boys on the island are afraid of "the beast" that lives on the island. It turns out that "the beast" is inside them -- the depravity of human nature. The boys believe that "the beast" lives in a pile of rocks which they call Castle Rock.

Steven King later wrote novels about a town in Maine called Castle Rock. He got the name from "Lord of the Flies".

Shadow government White House might fit nicely.

I glanced at an article about the TV show Castle Rock on Wikipedia tonight. It's an American psychological horror anthology web television series. Made me think of what Barr said today about the "witches brew" of extremists.

Lord of the Flies

Jack, an antagonist in the book, is humiliated when he loses to Ralph in the election, and leads his tribe of savages to create a headquarters at the barren Castle Rock.

Is HRC Jack?

In the novel "Lord of the Flies", the boys on the island are afraid of "the beast" that lives on the island.

New York's troglodytic governor, Andrew "Hairy Knuckles" Cuomo, used some pretty strange language during his daily Covid-19 presser last Wednesday:

"We have overcome the greatest challenge that this state has faced in my lifetime, with this Covid virus....This was the beast that we didn’t know if we could beat. So far we have beaten it. We have to stay smart and make sure we control the beast."

It just struck me as an odd term to use against a virus. Could it be code?
