WHY I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH LANCE PARKIN

Some “grey-haired” lesbians were teenagers in the nineties, and Mariah Learman is already a figure of some consequence (see Time of the Daleks). There is a reference to the next World War being number Four. I suggest World War Three is a term used by members of the World Zones Authority (as discussed under The Enemy of the World), and refers to the ongoing struggle between the government of China – traditional, centralized, hierarchical political power, evolving to its ultimate form – and the US economy – emergent, dispersed, commercial power, a self-weaponised collective unconscious, reflexively challenging the gargantuan strategy of it opponent with an avalanche of tactics. Some political elements of the USA are de facto allies of the Chinese government, and some Chinese business interests are de facto sympathisers with the US government (such interests might well be based in Shanghai and neighbouring cities, providing an explanation for the suggested polarization of China into North and South). The active military theatres of the war – Syria, Ukraine, Armenia – are contested by secondary powers and their proxies, seeking to exploit the global tension for local advantage, and are linked in ways too complex to be generally obvious. For the hidden world order of the Zones Authority, the war is just one dynamic of human activity to be navigated. It is further stated that Russia has used nuclear weapons in Chechnya, which represents extremely good news management by the Authority, even allowing for the distance of Chechnya from the Western Media.
