Coventry was heavily firebombed by the Nazis in world war 2. It was the worst posting for firemen and conscientious objectors who wouldn't fight were put in the fire service and sent to Coventry. The term "sent to Coventry" passed into the vocabulary after the war to describe anyone who had been ostracised from a group or at a workplace.

Not saying that is where this comes from, but the threat of being sent to Coventry is often used to control dissenters.

Being "Sent to Coventry" is much older. During the English Civil War in the 1640s, Roundhead (Royalist) POWs were sent to Coventry, which was a Parliamentarian stronghold. They were pariahs and none of the locals would even acknowledge them. People would just ignore them - they were non-people. Being sent to Coventry is when nobody will talk to you, work with you, help you or acknowledge you. Seems quite similar what happened to many of their victims who tried to speak out.

The Coventry may have been inspired by the "Slave Company", a bogeyman invoked by rapist Cameron Hooker to dissuade his victim, Coleen Stan, from running away after he kidnapped her in 1977. His stories about the supposed brutality of the Company were so effective that she remained his sex slave for 7 years.

Frightening.

The Coventry = a coven = the "company" = C_A black ops operatives/witches ?

Very good. You have an analytical mind. Def the CIA was known as "the company". A compilation of words. This is how they work and think. We have to copy that. Most def is a possibility and we know they are running and behind almost everything.

They put the truth hidden in plain site. "Slave Company" was most likely real, just not called that. Cameron sounds like a trafficker.

Henchmen of sorts. These are they ones that scare victims, just like the Black Community is too scared to "snitch".
