Consider this point: it
must be too difficult and embarrassing to be a spy. You are probably well-paid
and receives an enhancement in your skills in order to see further than the
common person. Things simple people simply guess they may have happened, if you
are a spy you are able to hunch and take for granted before they come true.
A 007 agent symbolizes and
sums up the spy everyone would like to be. When it comes to the gadgets and
resources this officer holds and makes use of, well all of them wish to their
hands on. The only problem is that in real-life situations things are not so
easy. An agent works hard, establishes an agenda, follows up some suspicious
events and watches some suspects to really get to the point. They have to set a
goal and accomplish it.
An agent can fly, walk,
run, ride, hide, climb, and fall… he or she can fall on the ground, in a steep
mountain, in the water, in a den. As a common frequent traveler goes around the
globe, so does the agent.
Edward became a secret
agent. He was requested to spy and produce reports about many people’s lives. Statesmen,
lawmakers, entrepreneurs worldwide, all over the world have been watched by him
in many offices in the US. It was a firstly a kind of interesting and funny game
he was getting used to. As reports had to be produced and handed in to the
bigwig, things were turning into a heavier burden. Indeed, that was a harsh activity
and in some cases a work too hot to handle. By taking much responsibility in his
shoulders made him a little dizzy.
When a mule can’t take the burden it was
assigned to, it simple doesn’t take a step ahead. The small animal cried and
falls to the ground. It was the situation for that man. He was sent to hell. Some
people say it contains burning lava. Too hot to bear and live on. But if you
are in cold poles without any shelter, that frozen is worse than any burning
hell. Edward was sent to a snow den. No shelter and from now on, being hunt
like a rabbit by many eagles in the savannah or by bears in the cold plains of
the Arctic.
What is a person supposed
to do when facing such problems? The most appropriate and advisable to be done
is to look for shelter. Mimetic strategies are completely suggestive to keep
oneself alive.
After speaking out and showing
the US government had been scrutinizing many people’s lives, he was declared
persona no grata and a fugitive from the American soil. In order to shelter
himself he was supposed to run away from his country and family and look for political
and humanitarian asylum in some countries. The United States of America is a
powerful nation that controls many other countries by commercial links and
diplomatic relationships, so they declared that young man an outlaw and wanted
to have him back to pay for his crimes.
Many countries, of course,
denied giving him that humanitarian protection. A victory for the US which won
this round aided by so many nations, even and mainly by some others renowned as
old time enemies, like Russia.
They say that no man is an island.
A man’s meat is another man’s poison. You can be sweet for some, but you may
sour for others. The same way some countries support and seem to accept
America, there are many others who hate Americans. In many parts of the globe
you can find someone who hates the US in the utmost level. Let’s take the Russian
federation as an example: Russians denied asylum to that little young man not
for commercial or diplomatic reasons. He wasn’t granted asylum because they may
have thought “who would give the guaranty that this asylum demand wouldn’t be a
chance for a spy to be there, trying to see and produce his reports to send to
the US”?
Venezuela, Nicaragua, and
some other countries offered him humanitarian protection. The same question can
come to light again. How can Mr Ortega, or Mr Maduro really believe Edward is
not in action as an American spy? How can Edward see he is not falling into
another den? A big and dark hole which mimics a safe shelter? Only time will
tell. Wherever he goes, he can be seen like a friend or like an enemy. Viewpoints
may say what he looks like. And no matter where he falls down: in a burning
lava cauldron or in frozen deep snowy den, he will be under an intense and
endless crossfire. We may dare say he is “almost buried”.
Edward, you may have fallen down like Mary's litlle lamb, unfortunatly not in a sown den. For this reason I believe a spy's work is too difficult.
