Hi Jim: as far as I understand, Stratfor is an Austin TX operation, so ... er... it's sort of a local call for you, is it not? (and, thinking of it, for 43 as well...)

< it peers through the scope of observing world affairs as we are watching a massive three dimensional chess game, which we are.>

And as in chess, in the mind of the gamesman, the players all have certain 'moves', characteristics, or labels like 'knight', 'bishop', 'militant', ... unfortunately, as the article implies, the chess board is at a table in the corner of some park... and this is simply Saturday evening. The vastness of the rest of the world, where real live 'knights', 'bishops', and millions of other pieces, players, and their families simply awake for breakfast, and if they're lucky, school.
