"Because I really believe you're going to have World War III."</i></blockquote><p></p><p><b id="docs-internal-guid-5b963612-7fff-22ab-4cf8-ef1c8e9fb76c" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></p><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-241695cf-7fff-82b5-5134-d915d1fb0935"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Let's suppose that in his completely private conversations with Putin while he was president Trump proposed a US - Russia alliance against China. Do you think that's unlikely? Perhaps. Would Putin have humored him without taking the proposal seriously? Possibly. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Of course no one here has evidence of what was discussed. And even if, in a show of bravado, Trump were to wave a clutch of documents and tell such a story to some confidant at one of his golf clubs why would anyone believe him?</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">But I have a feeling something of that nature is behind his boast above along with his claim to be able to resolve the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of retaking office. Although the proclamation gets applause it's hard to imagine it's taken seriously by more than a handful in the audience and, certainly, by no one in the rooms where the determinations of actual American global strategy are made. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">While this handful may follow the rabbit down its hole to be joined by those who adhere to a madman theory of nuclear deterrence, for his larger audience it will bring to mind less the world balance of power than a prophetic tradition that is far more familiar to them than to Trump. They will grasp that he is, mindful of the fact or not, reading from the Book of Revelation. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">It hardly matters that Armageddon is a comfort for them and not something which needs to be prevented. The connection between his political boast and their theological anxiety is the identity of nuclear weaponry with the end of the world, an identity already present at their first detonation. Before he became president Trump likely never gave a thought to nuclear war and I'm not sure what his thinking on it is now. Declaring it a problem he would solve in office does not distinguish it from any other subject. But its inclusion in his speech is a change from his previous campaigns.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I read a lot of science fiction in the eighth grade, which is also when I read the Book of Revelation. The story fits well into the sci-fi trope of an imperial hinterland in rebellion against its empire. How that trope reads at present will depend on where one is located in the global economy. For American readers that will often have a paradoxical result. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Empires draw a boundary around a home territory, then a colonial one, and, finally, one divided into allies and enemies. They are defined by these territories but the work of empires is to negate the limits of territory by the extraction of wealth. In the fully developed capitalism which we all inhabit wealth may continue to originate geographically but it is not everywhere required to and, even when it is, it hurries to wash itself clean of its soil. So while America is beyond doubt such a home territory, a first among equals, its wealth is on the wind to a degree never seen before. It is the historic sponsor of the very system by which capital floats free of earthly bonds. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In the political crisis that has summoned Trump the American landscape has cracked between its financial centers and the countryside which hosted slave agriculture along with that which is devoted to the extraction of natural resources. Those regions, at an economic distance from city markets and adhering to the ways of old, have reacted to change by inverting their view of power. For them the commanding heights of the world economy are no longer American. They no longer share the religious and capitalist virtues that directed the construction of an international market. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Those heights cannot plead innocent to alienation, it’s their business. Although it shouldn’t, it seems to surprise those at the top when their system, established to protect private ownership of the means of production, is attacked by a variety of sovereign ideologies for conspiring to institute global socialism. These opponents are detached, perhaps permanently, from the two party concord of the last three quarters of a century. This separation has not occurred, so far, on the left but on the right where its persistence is fed by its claim to the fundamental myths of American politics. It is a position that has been able to challenge the old direction of their party and, to a large extent, eliminate it. The tocsin of decline and fall has deafened them to the summons to preserve national security which has always served the right against the left. How has the GOP been induced to abandon the structures of strategic nuclear power? What is being made visible by the ideological shift that so much of received opinion finds so perplexing?</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">WWII ended with the US having a militarily plausible claim to history’s first global empire. It would not be an empire with a horizon beyond which dwelt only the unimportant. This one would be bound only by the willingness to use the new weapon. After it was used to obtain the surrender of imperial Japan that willingness remained a part of American militarism but the political impetus behind the Manhattan Project was redirected toward accumulating more and better weapons and exploding them out of sight. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In time the duplication of the technology by the Soviets and then others ended the opportunity to lay claim to the entire world. But that dispensation, the anointing of a universal empire, was not forgotten. It has survived in the political subconscious as the rightful inheritance by America of a worldwide domination that abides no limitations from enemies, from allies, and, particularly, from the masses outside its borders.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Since that time the two party administration of the American empire assured its political homeland and allies of its ability to maintain peace and economic growth. In the Democratic Party this was expressed as a collaboration between the classes. In the GOP collaboration was disdained as an unnecessary cost for a perfect market. But this grand ideological assurance, even as it continued to accumulate capital, also accumulated political and economic crises. And now a permanent state of crisis is widely visible as the relentless ecological disaster of climate change compounds the periodic economic shocks of global production.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In the GOP this is expressed as a territorial threat, an invasion with the covert support of not only the majority party but of those in its own ranks who have held to the old understanding of strategic alliances. The sovereign citizens at its base paradoxically reject the capitalist empire which their party has always protected. They are not critical of it. They reject criticism. Criticism and politics are the tools available to humanity to overcome its crisis with something new. But for Trump and his reactive audience crushing the new is the point. For them the third world war has begun. It is a civil war and it is Armageddon.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Unlike his audience Trump was granted, for a time, a daily briefing. For previous postwar American presidents it was an education. For Trump, limited in background and in spirit, it was a source of confusion. He is one with his audience as they take up arms against their enemies at home but he misunderstands his own role when he claims that he can prevent a third world war. They want him to herald the end times, not prevent them.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal;

The broker, believing Husayn to be a merchant man lately arrived at Bishangarh, answered him saying, "O my lord, thinkest thou I price this carpet at too high a value? My master hath bidden me not to sell it for less than forty thousand Ashrafis." Quoth the Prince, "It surely doth possess some wondrous virtue, otherwise wouldst thou not demand so prodigious a sum;" and quoth the broker, "'Tis true, O my lord, its properties are singular and marvellous. Whoever sitteth on this carpet and willeth in thought to be taken up and set down upon other site will, in the twinkling of an eye, be borne thither, be that place nearhand or distant many a day's journey and difficult to reach."</blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpLHayvwhd602AFJjQJQAu83rFthwMazfEQ9MBSlrJtXLIjKog1mIFPiLqyV7JL7V410M8dxCIP2h8KmzmyayXF01XCJ8Ju0M40K6gQAOjS4BZyCt2o-jSdOsyEk2OaafE4JjlWFsXglCXn186VHqZnhfCzl1ArcRsb3gDabaAW2F_KCJPrAvoszxuTA/s3393/Flying%20Carpet.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2516" data-original-width="3393" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpLHayvwhd602AFJjQJQAu83rFthwMazfEQ9MBSlrJtXLIjKog1mIFPiLqyV7JL7V410M8dxCIP2h8KmzmyayXF01XCJ8Ju0M40K6gQAOjS4BZyCt2o-jSdOsyEk2OaafE4JjlWFsXglCXn186VHqZnhfCzl1ArcRsb3gDabaAW2F_KCJPrAvoszxuTA/w400-h296/Flying%20Carpet.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJH-lGSDrA47K42S40olrzw3rgvaqWAZ1JNS0RIuhLkeOD0UEoyTP8UOju6Mtd7JItXAFj7NegH0ju8hROljU39jtTjgIXaRM2axyAiAUmisDDp7OCPl4KrakTgx8l7rwzU5JFNADpQfc2gce8MJPJH71edmXqX7tTsyBm8AR9VXY42zoK4L7Aijcvaw/s3024/Flying%20Carpet2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJH-lGSDrA47K42S40olrzw3rgvaqWAZ1JNS0RIuhLkeOD0UEoyTP8UOju6Mtd7JItXAFj7NegH0ju8hROljU39jtTjgIXaRM2axyAiAUmisDDp7OCPl4KrakTgx8l7rwzU5JFNADpQfc2gce8MJPJH71edmXqX7tTsyBm8AR9VXY42zoK4L7Aijcvaw/w400-h400/Flying%20Carpet2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Marvels of Distant Lands</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPAHBs3mIJVfBqjge3iPbIKWGyxEzjWFWxpeLNBBYR26ggjD-BK2ULwCaKGymR_csZPbHiT43G2gC985DVWferRG5mlQjHjJP_bQKh3rt_RrUdIpN_nRe336q5zvRT0C-bUSIwmy0pCIui9AIskcY_tnLCHdLJJrKYdkzsMJaoUvRR19wk1gqh-xL0kA/s2450/Flying%20Carpet5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2450" data-original-width="2450" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPAHBs3mIJVfBqjge3iPbIKWGyxEzjWFWxpeLNBBYR26ggjD-BK2ULwCaKGymR_csZPbHiT43G2gC985DVWferRG5mlQjHjJP_bQKh3rt_RrUdIpN_nRe336q5zvRT0C-bUSIwmy0pCIui9AIskcY_tnLCHdLJJrKYdkzsMJaoUvRR19wk1gqh-xL0kA/w400-h400/Flying%20Carpet5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Twinkling of an Eye?

Lie and kill and still sleep at night.</span></i></p><p><i><span style="font-family: times;">But you’ve convinced yourself that this “Sun-Tzu fucks Machiavelli” philosophy was the way to go. - Rose to Diane Farr, White House Chief of Staff</span></i></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">For Peter, hero of <i>The Night Agent </i>(Netflix), the answer to the question, “who do you trust?”, is not complex. He will have a long road to the truth but in the end he will trust those who are faithful to their oaths, as he is. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">The oath of office has roots in and replaces the oath of fealty. It does so as the lord, as the monarch, is overthrown and the republic is established. It is an affirmation of political legitimacy arising from political violence. The dynasty fails because the power it claims is a universal and it's wielded by an individual. As civil society develops it loses its faith in the anointed one who it now views as just another player.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Once power has passed from the lord to the state only official violence is permitted. Unofficial violence, of course, persists but it loses claim to being political, it is only criminal. In <i>The Night Agent</i> bit by bit we, and our hero, become aware of a criminal conspiracy that has penetrated the highest levels of the state. Of course we have guessed this long before Peter since we find ourselves, right off the bat, in the White House. Along the way we all enjoy multiple dramatic surprises. What is not surprising is that the conspiracy against the republic, as it inevitably will, involves a reversion to archaic feudal loyalties, now expressed as allegiance to a boss figure, a campaign donor, the CEO of a weapons corporation.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Neither should we be surprised that the conspiracy is a reaction to seeds that have been sown in the provinces. An unnamed client state, heretofore under the thumb of a strongman who has been a reliable weapons customer, has developed an insurgency. Here in the capitol there are two options: crush the opposition or accommodate it. Had the decision been to crush there may have been those opposed and their arguments would have invoked the long term health of the system. But there would have been no rift within the administration.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">In this case, however, the president has signaled a change of course. And her Vice President, appalled by the soft policy of his female president, has allied himself with the weapons CEO. The Vice President is motivated by the reactive logic of an empire threatened on the periphery, the CEO by simple mercenary reasoning. The provincial strongman is a good customer, especially when in crisis.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">At this level, as a political thriller, the story is well crafted. It maintains our interest by disguising the loyalties of multiple players, not overly relying on the high-stakes setting of the White House for its drama. Behind the political trappings the tale also has merit but here, where our hero does battle with forces of evil, we can detect some strain in creating a narrative around current events in the world we live in.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Peter’s first quest is to vindicate his father who died suspected of treason. He is utterly faithful to his duty as FBI special agent. He is also determined to uncover the truth in all things, in particular concerning his father. Quickly he is paired with a private sector heroine who has been betrayed by a partner, orphaned by forces of evil, and dispossessed by the market. In the peril of the situation this bond develops practically and romantically. Opposite them is a pair of assassins. Besides being male and female they are veteran and neophyte, stable and unstable. All of the early action sequences of the story occur between these two pairs with the difference that Peter begins as Rose’s protector while the villains share equally in the attack.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Other pairs are key to the movement of the story as well. A veteran male Secret Service agent plays against a young ambitious female agent. Their assignment is the protection of the VP’s daughter. This is the only parent-child relationship in the story although the death of the mother echoes the lack of parents for both Peter and Rose. Finally, and maybe there are others I’ve forgotten, the bond, both personal and official, between the President and her Chief of Staff is critical to the final twist of the story.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Peter and Rose, their allies and antagonists, are engaged in a struggle between good and evil, in defense of the republic against a reactionary conspiracy. It is what makes them hero and heroine. But this moral dichotomy is undermined from the beginning, even in the title. The night agents are a sub rosa instrument of the president. It expresses the inability of the republic to defend itself on its own terms. We would not stray far to think this contradiction within the republic arises from its imperial ambitions.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Which brings us to the end of the season, Peter on a flight out of the country, his destination and mission secret. As a hero he has completed his quest. He should have wealth, elevated status, and be married. I, as a reader of fairy tales, am disappointed. Instead he remains in the shadowy role of night agent. He has learned that his father was indeed a traitor and he is leaving his romantic partner behind. Of course, this is a set-up for a second season but I wouldn’t leave it at that. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">As much as I enjoy a good car chase and showdown I am never quite satisfied by political realism. Factually identified persons and events will appear in serious documentaries or in comedies, but their identities are fictional in drama until their historic period is understood by the audience to have passed. Stories like <i>The Night Agent</i> purport to be about the world we live in but the characters, other than the heroes, give up much of their personalities so they can represent a type in an ideological allegory.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">In the service of political realism Peter’s story is, in the end, not a hero’s quest but an audition for the role which he has been playing throughout, secret agent. He is right back where he started. Which is why, to continue a story with him as protagonist, he must go abroad, leaving behind a republic also still trapped in the contradictions that began this adventure</span>.</p>board.n.roomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04539194120213584537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139108921296090614.post-165209678374617292023-04-28T16:26:00.002-05:002023-04-28T16:28:21.804-05:00Ave Caesar Ludorum Nox Est<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
