Homeland - in complete mistrust

Peter Quinn - CIA operative Sarin gassed

Episodes 9 and 10 have not been much of world politics but more of action, suspension and complete mistrust making one think about life behind the wall, STASI and the DDR. The first 2 attributes are Hollywood ones and what Americans are good at, first a smoke screen and then an "underlay" of horror. The third one, "mistrust" seem universal and it seem that the stronger you become, the mentally weaker you get, very much like Allison when she compromises her handler, the Russian spy chief and strong man Ivan Krupin in Berlin.

The west has lived terrorism for decades, by bombs and bullets but yet not being gassed or nuked. Sarin gas has evidently only been used in Japan for terrorist purposes so far even if it has been used on lands where state terrorism used it to defeat or oppress insurgents ethnic groups. Everybody knows that a Sarin gas in a European city wouldn't be all successful and even with a large death count we would shrug it off in a matter of minor time morning our dead. Episode 9 and 10 deliver no surprises and takes us back to depths of a B-grade movie, even a Vin Diesel movie would be more creative and delivering more suspense than Homeland at this passage.

Parking the car for a moment at the theme of mistrust, just imagine a country that paranoid, a country were any individual is competing any other individual perhaps just for getting the last word said, the last chicken wing at TGIF or for a piece of cake. Does Homeland reflect the homestead of the US agencies and the agencies in turn reflect the North American life in general? If so, we are having a living horror movie, the one where life goes on as normal but where there is a sinister under-current, a surge from inside of the walls and down under the concrete slab of our dwellings that at any time will pull the rug under us? That North Americans compete for prime space is nothing new to me, it is a part of the American dream presented to me while living over there for a short period in my life but that it would add up to a paranoia for world domination, a global nightmare I could not even dream about - until now.

There is not one single European nation that would oppose the US without economical repercussions as consequence. It has gone that far the US laws presides even over European territories, European economy and banks. Imagine an individual on the run for politically challenging the US seeking asylum somewhere within the European union and that it would be granted, the US would first try to make a case against that individual based on criminal allegations and if unsuccessful sending in a team of "black op's" flying him out of that country blindfolded and sedated in gray plane flown by mercenaries (they call mercenaries - contractors). European police would not dare to interfere. Young people do, men as well as women and the consequence of turning a blind eye to this is radicalization. Here is the answer you have been looking for so long. Just go and kill them... Truth is tough to hear but it is always simple.

No, Homeland is not making it home with me, not tonight, and not a week ago either. Homeland has for the time being lost contact with Europe and got stuck lost in Hollywood. It is more exciting living a casual life here than living the Homeland, a land full of presidential wanna-bee clowns. Take a look at your real clowns instead, the Christmas tree decorated director of the CIA, the NSA, the Homeland security and your generals. Take a look at their age and their views on technology. then consider if Edward Snowden was with or against you. Merry Christmas...

This is kind of Homeland is a derailed Homeland where the wagons just left the rails, ditched in and over Hollywood. The politics behind is so much more intriguing and interesting than carnage and suspense, try again. For a world wide applause, please detach from the umbilical view of yourself. I expected more than this....
