It’s Not Left v. Right…It’s Elitism v. Freedom
As we stampede into the 2024 General Election, we hear – and rightly so – that our country has never been more divided. Republican and Democrat, Conservative and Liberal, people are anchored in their ideology and it will be a gargantuan effort to reconcile opposing factions. But the fact remains, that we all have more in common than we do in difference.
To defend that last statement. I have yet to find anyone who wants to have less income or poor health or crappy schools for their kids. I haven’t found anyone who wants more crime in their neighborhood or less opportunity for success or to leave their kids worse off than they. We all want these things for ourselves and for our children and it doesn’t matter whether we are Republican or Democrat; Black, White, Brown, Yellow, or Red; Gay, Straight, or Trans, These desires, these wants are the commonality between us all.
So, why are we so bitterly divided if we all want the same things? Yes, we hold different ideas on how to go about achieving these things, but as with any negotiation, when there is a solid base of commonality, agreement isn’t that far away. So why the jaded division?
Because we have an elitist class that believes we are to be ruled in accordance with how they perceive the world and the order of things. And they are using emotional issues – often devoid of any real hard data to back up their fear-porn – to divide us and, therefore, conquer us; to subjugate us back in time to the era of Lords and Serfs.
Sun Tzu Meet Machiavelli
Often attributed to ancient military strategists, “divide and conquer” – a phrase that echoes through history as a tactic of manipulation, control, and domination- has served the war strategist and influenced politics, economics, and social dynamics. Its origins trace back to the annals of warfare, but its applications extend far beyond the battlefield, leaving an indelible mark on the course of human history to this very day.
The roots of “divide and conquer” stretch back millennia, finding fertile ground in the tactics of early civilizations. In the realm of warfare, Sun Tzu’s The Art of War provided a blueprint for strategic and tactical thinking, emphasizing the importance of exploiting divisions within the enemy’s ranks. The idea of pitting adversaries against one another to weaken their collective strength permeates ancient military doctrines.
Similarly, the Roman Empire employed this strategy to expand its dominion across vast territories. By cultivating dissonance among rival factions and exploiting existing tensions, Roman generals consolidated power and subdued resistant populations. The effectiveness of this approach manifested in the empire's ability to maintain control over diverse regions for centuries.
The age of exploration witnessed a resurgence of “divide and conquer” tactics, this time on a global scale. European and Islamic powers, vying for supremacy, exploited ethnic, religious, and tribal divisions in the territories they sought to conquer.
In Africa, European explorers exploited existing rivalries and forged alliances with local leaders to extend their influence over resource-rich regions. The same took place throughout Asia at the hands of the Islamic expansion. The imposition of artificial borders further exacerbated tensions, laying the groundwork for conflicts that persist to this day. Similarly, in the Americas, expeditionary powers employed “divide and rule” policies to maintain dominance and suppress resistance movements.
Welcome To The Nightmare
Beyond the realm of warfare, “divide and conquer” emerged as a cornerstone of political maneuvering. Machiavellian principles espoused the strategic exploitation of divisions within society; and within a people to consolidate power. Rulers throughout history have employed this tactic to weaken opposition, co-opt dissent, and maintain authoritarian regimes.
In the contemporary world, the use of the “divide and conquer” tactic shapes geopolitical dynamics and is used to manufacture social conflicts. Politicians and those seeking power over people routinely use the tactic to achieve control and do so by – again – promoting fear without concrete data to justify their positions. From climate change to systemic racism to hyped-pandemics to discriminatory practices against created demographics, nations, and their leaders, employ tactics of polarization and manipulation to advance their political and ideological interests on the national and international stages. Politically and ideologically based propaganda and disinformation campaigns serve as modern manifestations of this age-old strategy.
Furthermore, the advent of digital technology in conjunction with neofascism has amplified the reach and impact of manipulative divide-and-conquer tactics. Social media platforms, while connecting people around the world, have also become controlled battlegrounds for information warfare and ideological polarization all at the detriment of free speech and freedom of expression. Algorithms designed to maximize engagement most times amplify divisive content, exacerbating societal rifts, while advocating a preferred narrative for those employing the tactic.
The concept of “divide and conquer”, today, permeates every facet of our society, leaving conflict, oppression, division, and subjugation in its wake. And the tactic is used by those beyond the global political class. Organizations like the World Economic Forum – a group of non-elected, non-appointed, uber-rich megalomaniacs use the fascist relationship between corporations and government to implement grandiose schemes of change leading to their control of society.
The Horror Of The Global Elitist Future
Do you think I am overreacting? Here are several points laid out by sycophants of Klaus Schwab himself and his incredibly self-righteous doctrine of the Great Reset:
All products will have become services. ”I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes,” Danish MP Ida Auken writes on the WEF’s Medium page. It sounds utopian until she mentions that her every move is tracked and outside the cities live large swathes of discontented, the ultimate vision of a society split in two.
There will be a set global price on carbon so the climate alarmist greed merchants can trade and accumulate wealth on one of Earth’s natural elements (we are all carbon), predicts Jane Burston, Head of Climate & Environment at the UK’s National Physical Laboratory. China, the world’s chief polluter along with India, took the lead in 2017 with a market for trading the right to emit a ton of CO2, setting the world on a path towards a single carbon price.
US dominance will be a thing of the past, writes Robert Muggah, Research Director at the Igarapé Institute. There will be a handful of global powers. Nation states will have staged a comeback.
Hospitals, as we know them, will be on their way out, writes Melanie Walker, a medical doctor and World Bank advisor. With fewer accidents, thanks to self-driving cars and great strides in preventive and personalized medicine, technology will have further disrupted disease Scalpels and organ donors will be obsolete, and tiny robotic tubes and bio-printed organs will be in.
We will eat much less meat and, like our grandparents, we will treat meat as a treat rather than a staple, writes Tim Benton, Professor of Population Ecology at the University of Leeds, UK. Insect-based flour will be used in the manufacture of foods as a common source of protein. Convenience food will be redesigned (see the insect flour mentioned above) to be healthier and less harmful to the environment.
Lorna Solis, Founder, and CEO of the NGO Blue Rose Compass, insists that today’s Syrian refugees will be tomorrow’s CEOs, making the case for the economic integration of those who have been forced to flee conflict and climate change, which she says will have displaced 1 billion people by 2030.
And, Kenneth Roth, Executive Director of Human Rights Watch, says the values that built the West will have been tested to breaking point, leaders and potentates needing to remember the checks and balances that bolster our free nations.
And through it all, not only do we see the elected class licking the jackboots of the global elite, we see the same tired and disproven fear-porn issues used to manipulate the masses even as they predict absurdities: Climate, food, and health, each used as a weapon of transition through the employment of non-data-supported fear.
As the miscreant mainstream media attempts – once again – to push the false narrative that the upcoming election is about Biden v. Trump and Democrat v. Republican, the truth of the matter is far more sinister. The upcoming General Election is a choice between the status quo and reformative change. Our choice is between a continuation of elitist empowerment and existing as a free people.
If you want the elitists, the globalists, the “Lords” to continue down the path to having total control over you – to the point where you own nothing and eat crushed crickets in your food – and “love it,” then keep voting in the same self-centered power-junkies you have been sending to Washington, DC to “represent you.” Lord knows they have been doing such a bang-up job to date.
But if you want freedom for yourself, your family, your friends and neighbors, and for generations to come, then you – you – have to make a change in how you think about government in your life. Decentralize the federal government (we have the power to do this as I laid out in my book Nullification: The Case for Decentralizing the Federal Government) and disempower the corporate globalists.
All of this starts with casting a smart vote. Examine and determine the facts rather than listening to the propaganda. Today it’s hard to tell the Democrats from the Republicans on Capitol Hill so political party endorsements mean little to nothing. It is time to do your own research on who the candidates are and what they stand for. Then, we hold them all accountable, doing so relentlessly until the elected class realizes the days of gaslighting the American people are over and the destruction of the bureaucratic Deep State begins.
