In the present article we make two Hobbesian problems converge, to wit, what we call “Hobbesian Matrix” of the contemporary political culture and the “decisionist” aprouch of the order. This matrix has some strong assumes, such as the homo economicus anthropological conception and the “competition” as the unique possible alternative in a shortage situation. Furthermore, the exceptionality has stop being only an emergent from de political disorder to become a domination technique that allows justifying the power concentration inside the Estate of Right, to elude the democratic controls. After the display of the conceptual frame, it will be analyzed the case of the pseudointerview to the narco leader Marcola invented by Arnaldo Jabor. Beginning from a very brief analysis of the international contemporary order it will be examined the Hobbesian perspective for the solution of the nowadays political affairs.
