“Ocean Prime” (Eighteenth Note to the Review)

In terms of the corruption and decay which historically and traditionally has brought governments to their knees, ours is a case of pre-Taliban Afghanistan and Ancient Israel before the exodus on steroids, and of course, those two were the worst ever. They were the worst in all of human history. So imagine the outcomes when we are worse than the two worst cases ever in human history. Washington, London, and Brussels face the prospect of Kabul Airport on steroids in terms of chaos and dysfunction. And the foremost challenge becomes one of mitigating all of it.
