Like the black hole in our galaxy, the political universe of our planet has a black hole. There is some odd power somewhere pulling the regular laws organizing our states towards some new formation. Once inside this black hole, the laws that keep the 177 states on our planet in order vanish. The political black hole has its own laws, is not a state, and sucks down any state that comes near it threatening its uncanny power into a maw of political and economic oblivion. Do not ask where the black hole is. You can not see it and the best course for any state to keep going normally is to believe that there is no black hole. For how is it possible that states on our planet can be maneuvered surreptitiously by a political power acting as a state that is not a state? There must not be any such entity. Scientists for centuries had no idea that a black hole existed in our galaxy sucking our planets into it. Everything went on in the natural world according to principles that could be discovered logically. Suddenly a chasm was discovered sucking us into it that had nothing to do with the principles that regulate us. Do we dare to look carefully with scientific logic for the political black hole? It is a terrifying business. If we find a political superpower that is not a state acting like a state and if this false state is discovered diminishing the powers of real states, it would be shocking. It would be too terrible for our citizens living according to the normal laws of states to accept. Better not to think about it. Let it go on pulling us towards its abyss. As long as our political leaders keep convincing us that the normal laws of our states need no adjustment to protect us from the black hole, we don’t care that there exists somewhere some powerful political black hole where our normal political laws do not exist.
