GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY

Here we are:

  1. People are going to make “comparisons” to other conflicts, given our history in that part of the world I think the best comparison would be to the “Banana Wars”.
  2. Technically, GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY is the use of force to open up diplomatic relations: see Japan 19th Century and CMDR PERRY.
  3. If there is still time on the clock, then expect this to be more like the 2011 LIBYA MODEL – we take the oil, take logistics required to support the oil, but we mostly neglect the interior and hand it over to drug lords, but they’ll be OUR drug lords. We might try to put someone in charge and provide limited support, but I doubt will connect ourselves too deeply to any one given dictator.

The Experiment

Port Angeles, Washington, is chuck full of secrets, dark alleys, sinkholes and hidden shame. It’s a place where the buried “treasure” is the truth, perhaps the truth about an indigenous settlement that’s below the foundation of a Mill or concealed by the neglect of new caretakers. Whatever the source, the story remains the same: we deal in night honesty and dark conversation here, go away if you want Saturday morning avocado toast chit-chat.

This will be a series of stories hidden from the light, and hopefully when you see them you can incorporate their fears and torments and love. Maybe we get stuck in the sunken town, underground Port Angeles and maybe we get the blackest mold infection from the tour and maybe we don’t care because we live here.
