You coulda just said that ^3^

Basically we would be partners, like FBI agents have. And it is from the X Files. Highly recommended, all on Netflix.

The original or the restart? the books aren't bad either.
You could have CC's character be a partner but also a handler of sorts.

What better cover than a name that is inherently anti-government in peoples' minds? Anyway, doesn't matter now :P

OP, any chance the Co-OP could make the post for you, since you can't tomorrow?

They restarted it like last year or so, I have only read a few of the books.
Most of the one from the nineties was good except once they changed main characters.

Agreed. Originals are always better. I didn't know there was a restart. Prolly won't watch it. Yet.

They are making an Amazon Prime show based off the '67 book, The Man in the High Castle, about the post ww2, axis victorious occupation of the East Coast by the Germans and West Coast by the Japanese of the US.

Yeah.

Speaking of Gordon, I should probably alert him of my FBI presence in the city, just to keep the fuzz of me.

Maybe make it so that people can resist the telepathy if they have strong wills or something. and maybe he has to concentrate when he reads/ rewrites a person mind leaving himself open to physical attacks or something. simply trying to give advice.

Foresight does not apply to combat. Telepathy can be resisted by anyone who concentrates on nothing. Think of foresight in terms of a comic-book storyline:
The hero knows, due to his foresight, what to do and where to be to stop Mr. X from doing y.
