I once got scammed for $80 at a carnival game which is way more embarrassing than a fake CIA agent swindling someone out of $50,000.

Carnival Cruise Lines.

ICE deleted observer footage.
A representative for Carnival told PEOPLE in a statement: "We are aware that U.S. Customs and Border Protection took a guest into custody as a person of interest. As this is a law-enforcement matter, we defer all further questions to the appropriate authorities." Verhas told 12 News that she had recorded the whole incident, but that a female ICE agent "snatched" her phone away. She said that her phone was returned, but only after the video she attempted to record of her husband being taken away by agents was deleted.

how does one go from (almost) the highest law enforcement agent in the land to carnival barker in 24 hours? www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/s...

The Carnival might have a will of its own, but it needs a mortal agent to carry it out.  That is the role of the custodian. As far as anyone knows, she owns and operates the carnival as a business, but there's more to it than that!

Re-upping this for the Friday crowd: My piece on The Secret Agent, and the revisiting of life under dictatorship in 1970s Brazil through the prisms of carnival and film genre.

All reposts (and subscriptions) much appreciated. x

The Secret Agent
This political thriller draws upon motifs of carnival and film genre to evoke the paranoia, lawlessness, and inequality of 1970s Brazil.

The Secret Agent: Wagner Moura is a professor in hiding after he is politically targeted in this drama set in 70s Brazil during carnival. A complex web of corruption and intrigue gives a sense of the deadly "mischief" of the period, and a pervasive sense of menace, but also haunting too.

A gratuitous land grab from a sleazy fucking real estate agent. Let’s face it - a lot of sleazy fuckery goes on in the real estate world. They are right up there mentally and morally with used car salesmen and carnival barkers.

A secret agent movie set at a carnival. Yeah, the nazi guys are operating out of a carnival.
It's got numerous dummy drops, some perplexing stage shows, some kind of pink light acid death ray, the lingest ferris wheel fight ever, high stakes arm wrestling...
Your standard three-out-of-five treat.

Enigma of Death (1969)
Federico Curiel (director)

Mil Máscaras is gonna punch some nazis. But probably not the leader because he's played by John Carradine, who would turn to dust if punched.

When i was a carnival agent in the 70's & 80's we regularly grossed $1,000.00 to $10,000.00 a day from MY games alone! Not only is the money & people gone but the fun & money are gone too. This is now across the whole of American amusement, including Las Vegas.
