The spectre of the 3rd World War: to starve which beast?
Sams Dine Sy 10/04/2026

To want to "starve the best" one runs a risk: that of being one. This adage is more than topical. The positivist drift had a lot to do with it when its emulators - holders of power and holders of expertise - took a decisive step towards "divinus americanus" by waving the spectre of the 3rd World War to target the State, in particular in the "Rest of the World" (RoW).

Several sources of inspiration are mobilized, including the "Manifest Destiny" inherited towards the end of the eighteenth century during the colonization of California during the "night of the hunters". The first 2 world wars did the rest: at the end of the first, "Scientificus Americanus" gave himself the title of "Gendarme of the World" while the second opened the way to the status of "Hegemon". A status consecrated on the occasion of "Star Wars", another specter waved in 1983 to rid the world of a Soviet and confiscate its "Supreme" title. The one of the 3rd World War now claims to put the world under a Guide, thus opening the era of a new dynasty or "Aryantollah"

The eruption of new, more caricatural forms of the figure of the political entrepreneur undoubtedly has a lot to do with it. As a reminder, in the 80s, the "Winner-Take-All" was enough to wage the "war of ideas", to decimate the social sector thanks to an aggressive and confiscatory tax policy, to put an end to the legacy of the "Great Society" and the "Poverty War" initiated in the 60s. The attempt to redefine it in terms of "transhumanist" thanks to the installation of a techno-monarchy is even abandoned in favor of that of a "Personal Robot" in place of the State, considered as the greatest enemy, especially when the RoW takes refuge behind it to justify its existence.

The Carcanatollah Tribe at world war against which beast?

The decision to foment coups d'état everywhere by raising the spectre of the 3rd World War is all the easier to take as several volunteers are jostling.
The scene takes place in the Carcanatollah tribe at war with the beast. It features its 5 members who look alike without coming together except around the Spectre exerting control over two couples. The first is made up of Partners, including a Malign One and an Evil One. The second pair brings together two Enemies: a Bear and a Tiger.

Scene 1: To each his own beast: partners, enemies

In the confusion, everyone shouts:
Spectre: I've lost the lead, the real one or the one in the peloton?
Within the couple of partners, Evil answers: I'm hungry, where are my banks? Malign adds: where is my cup of tea? I'm thirsty!
Within the 2nd pair of enemies, Bear surprises: I'm ashamed for my glacis! Tiger the same: I'm afraid for my Belt!
To which Evil immediately retorts: "Your belt? no, it's not true because you're cutting me off on the machine, the industry in contradiction with the commitment to reduce your exports in exchange for a larger market share in Africa.
Bear gets involved: it's not his fault that Spectre is putting tariffs everywhere now; let us do as he did.
After some hesitation, Evil retorts: probably; But since you're dragging your feet on resuming your glacis from the hinterland, we don't have enough arguments to do the same with our former colonies.
Tiger is back at it: I have reduced my exports since on all products we add "made in" your country or its neighbor in order to multiply the price by 5 when you re-export them via your commercial, technological, digital networks, including by borrowing my very economical Belts (Road, Boat, Crypto among others); sometimes by 10 for everything that is open source or more if it is counterfeit: an incredible income of which you are all prisoners. The proof is that your banks are still lagging behind to the point of being definitively far from the two annual lists of the world's most innovative companies and fintechs.
Malign counts the points, takes Spectre by the arm, drags him into a corner and whispers: what do you think? do you have to get rid of them all to ensure your reign and that of the Five Eyes only? It is about time.

Scene 2: The State, the Beast

To stir up the quarrel, Spectre asks his robot to translate: join my dynasty while there's still time because the vulture fund is lurking. Its "Peace" version, made official at the Davos Forum, awaits the real boss of all international organizations once she has decided, with her chainsaw acquired 6 months earlier, the head of any state that does not bow down.
I have already written in my monthly agenda to go and sound the bell everywhere once Hormuz is pacified: a lightning flight over the Tropicana to rediscover Aragon, then the Franshoek in order to understand what the Huguenots were looking for in this Cape of Good Hope. From there to Cape Malabata, it will be clear to everyone to whom this Atlantic coast belongs just by facilitating the transfer of all football world cup matches, including the trophy; just to avoid the reproduction of the terrible spectacle that only sowed hatred during the Superbowl on February 8, 2026. All of this will be crowned by the opening of the next G7.
Welcome! proclaims Evil; it will be an opportunity to explain why they chose the Aryentollah dynasty instead of the imperial technomonarchy of the Louis-tollah or Napolé-tollah type; don't forget that the cradle of humanoid robotics also passed through here through Alvan/Micral and the Smart/Banking Card, even if at the time "the State is Me" didn't understand anything about it. Which is not my case.
Within the second couple, Bear and Tiger immediately speak up again to take offense at not being invited to this G7 when they are both ready to join a Huntollah or Sovietollah dynasty to show their good will to appease.
The robot speaks again to issue a warning: if you ever invite this depressed bear and this paper tiger then I will go straight to dislodge Notre Dame to whose restoration you invited me, install it in the place of the Statute of Liberty, send it to the Mamelles once the Renaissance Monument has been moved to your home.
I recall that you became a political entrepreneur following the distribution of a commentary on the note on the development aid policy of the Party with which you were close and written on February 18, 2007 at the request of its Secretariat. An article that completely discredits the claim of any supposedly ideological epistemology (socialist or liberal...) to contribute to development when it is nothing more than confessional ethnolinguistics. The proof is that there is nothing left of your enthusiasm of the time when you proclaim loud and clear "I am hungry for Africa!" Your only asset is to have contributed to the discrediting of the state in its Jacobin version and thus to have contributed to my accession to power.
The two couples look at each other and whisper together: as long as he only raises the Spectre of 3rd World War, we don't need a coup d'état to stay in power; It's enough to snore quietly since in any case he lost both the lead and the peloton. Come on, let's have a drink of your choice: tea, vodka, champagne, baijiu...

Scene 3: "RoW" the Beast

Spectre looks up at the sky and whispers in turn: all trapped because the 3rd World War begin. I authorize my robot to detonate their nuclear arsenal in order to rid the world of more than 5 billion people not affected by the new regime. It will then be easy to erase all traces of these tectonic plates that would have buried the first civilizations somewhere between the ancient mouths of the current rivers Senegal (Morocco?), Niger (Cuba?), Nile (South Africa?). It will be even easier to move all the pyramids in Florida around a golf course. This is how everything will be revisited when my photo replaces Nun, Heka, Thoth, Isis, Horus, Amun and my sculpture, Thutmose, Hatshepsut, Piankhy, Ptolemy, Akhenaten, Tutankhamun. Who will dare to deny it? Especially not https://www.lisapoyakama.org who surely inspired this sorry show during the Super Bowl taking us all wokericans with a manifest destiny ready to popularize a new history of science, races, wars, revealed religions...

Except that when you want to paint or sculpt, you run a risk: that of not being understood. The famous adage also applies to the 3rd World War: by brandishing this specter, one runs the risk of being the first victim.
