Abstract

For the times they are a-changin'."-Bob Dylan, 26 October 1963 "T ricky Dicky" (as President Richard Nixon was nicknamed by some, not affectionately) resigned for reasons of corruption on 9 August 1974.Nine months later, on 30 April 1975, Saigon fell.The Vietnam War was over, and many people suspected, in the words one of the era's musical poet, "the times they [were] a-changin'."After the next three presidential administrations (Gerald Ford, 1974-1977; James "Jimmy" Carter, 1977-1981; and Ronald Reagan, 1981-1989) it was clear: they had changed.This chapter will explore the change in the relative signifi cance of the political and the economic contradictions.By the end of the 1980s, following the fi nal fl are-up of the inter-imperial contradiction, the Soviet Union was gone and the US Leviathan continued, albeit battered by an intensifying dominator/dominated contradiction.Concurrently, the cyclical and systemic economic contradictions intensifi ed to further pound the New American Empire.The chapter begins by presenting the second generation of US security elites.Next, it examines the situation vis-à-vis the nonviolent economic reproductive fi xes of the economic contradictions in the late 1970s and 1980s.It continues by exploring the relaxation of the inter-imperial contradiction between the Kremlin and Washington, and what this meant for the hermeneutic politics behind its violent fi xing.Then it examines three of the period's global wars: the Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989) and the Iran-Iraq Wars (1980-1988), along with the lesser US-Libya War (1981-1988).It explains how a new monster-alterity emerged along with new public délires.The goal is to show how each of these confl icts was Deadly Contradictions Some important fi gures had immigrant origins.They tended to be "brains."Kissinger, discussed in the previous chapter, was the most prominent, especially during Nixon's presidency.Carter's National Security Advisor (NSA) Zbigniew Brzezinski, the other refugee brain, was born in Warsaw to a noble family.His father, a diplomat, had sought refuge in Canada in 1938.Zbigniew attended McGill University as an undergraduate; moved on to Harvard, where he was awarded a doctorate; and then began teaching political science.Unlike Kissinger, Brzezinski was denied tenure (1959

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
