In Latin, umbra means shadow or shade. For example, see the derivation of the word umbrella. I suspect that this is just someone's fancy name for a higher degree of secrecy.
Will let you or anyone else here translate the Latin, here's the Greek: to the repeated question "Sybilla, what do you want?" she would answer "I want to die".
It's fascinating that you instantly understood China's foreign policy was meant by the Sibylla quote. Either you owe a vast debt of gratitude to McTag, Fresco, Setanta et al for their patient efforts, or most of your queries here are preventive chaff countermeasures like the color references in your post

Shady dealing, eh.
When in danger, or in doubt
Run in circles, scream and shout
And, from the depth of heart,
Laughed the dark power:
Coward now, old boy,
I'll fill you with dreams of fear.
Forget Sun Tzu - here's Gen. Patton: “A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan next week.” Goodbye, Oristar
