I still remember the joy and amazement with which I learnt, during my
first course in Biology in 1972, that in order to establish with a
good degree of certainty whether a pond in the Province of Buenos
Aires was getting exhausted of oxygen due to anthropic causes, it was
a good hint to begin by studying if certain species were becoming
rare. That was my first encounter with the concept of "biologic
indicator".
Now, I will try to expand this idea to politics. I will say that,
whenever you see an imperialist agency or institution speak about the
"imperialism" of some Third World country, you may expect that
country to be targeted for aggression by the truly imperialist
powers.
This is a political indicator. Not full proof, but good hint. Very
good hint. I think Tony is after something important, after all.
