"It is much easier to prevent small powers from linking forces than to break them apart once they have aligned."

"Leaders who utilize Divide and Conquer Strategy may encourage or foster feuds between smaller powers."

"Divide and Conquer Strategy also includes methods with which to control the funds and resources of the small conquered parties. For example, a powerful leader may encourage a less powerful leader to make unwise financial decisions in order to drain the smaller power’s resources."

" This is often successful if the leaders of the smaller powers have inflated egos and delusions of grandeur."


The question we have to ask ourselves is this. Who is behind this and isn't it time we came together to free ourselves?

George Carlin was a smart man, he said that the media always keeps us focused on the things that separate us. Race, RELIGION, sexual preference, class, status, etc....

We have to open our eyes now before its too late!

Yes what you are saying is true

The Illuminati have been using such tactics since Noah was a Lad

The problem is Humans have a blind spot in the mind and for some this can be a real hindrance to their understanding and has been exploited beyond belief by the above

As an example Twenty years ago if an respected member of society seen a UFO and reported it It is hushed up and never reported On the other hand You had two guys leaving a Bar one night a little drunk and they seen and reported one Chances are it would be all over the news the next day

Then we have Icke

Even though most of what he has been saying is true because of our conditioning most people wouldn't believe him and in the process he has a very nice lifestyle Thank you very much

It is not only with weak governments where the divide and rule is used It is used in every section of society Religion Geographical areas Sports teams A persons sexual orientation Families etc There is a lengthy list

I haven't looked yet but many times regarding a question like this there is usually such terms as Keep taking the meds You need counseling The usual rubbish

Believe me when we can learn for ourselves to free the mind by uncoupling the control we can see the reality of it all and that is real freedom

The first step is to throw out the TV

Absolutely right. And credit where credit is due, it must have been so tempting to John Mcain to follow in the footsteps of bush and try to drive home the whole "God, Gays & Guns" thing but he refrained.



My girlfriend would point out that Fundamentalists believe that the key to making the country better is to make it more biblical. LIke falwell said after 9/11 about the gays and the feminists. Then once women know their place, abortion is illegalc gays are ostracized, and everyone prays in schools then god will magically bless us with peace and prosperity.



The dichotomy is between those who believe that the way to make this world better is through cause and effect in this world, ie, comprehensive sex education leads to fewer std's and teen pregnancy than does abstinance only etc... and those who look to the next world for answers, ie if we do what god wants he will reward us



the formeer will be anxious to work together to make this a better place country world etc, the latter will focus on superimposing their beliefe system on the constitution for the good of all.



The question is "how do we reconcile this"



For the record I'm with you and I think the answer has something to do with our public education system.

I agree, Which is why liberals need to stop their nonsense and come over to conservatism . George Carlin was not a smart man, But a liberal immoral man who contributed nothing positive to this world and made money of telling perverted raunchy jokes and promoting his liberal ideology, Although I sympathize with his family, His passing was no great loss . Division does weaken people, But merely coming together for the sake of coming together not caring what cause were united behind is reckless to say the least. You say the media keeps us focused on things that separate us, You give the liberal media to much credit, These issue are important ones to be cared about, If you think men marrying men is not an important issue, Then you need to take a look at societies that have adopted this behavior and are no longer here to talk about it . The Roman Empire, Babylon and Ancient Greece thought they were as you put it " Freeing themselves " Too, By living lives of debauchery, Is that what you mean by freeing ourselves ? Us living any old depraved way men see fit ? I think your recipe for success is a recipe for disaster .



And what's your definition of goodness ? The same as Obama's ? Allowing women restriction free access to slaughter babies to escape responsibility ? Or allowing homosexuals to prance down the street in butt less leather chaps hand in hand like they do in California ? That's not my idea of goodness .





As you were soldier

God bless

Divide and conquer is the way I approach the catfish buffet on Friday nights.



The objective is to eat as much of the expensive food (catfish, ribs, steak, and pork chops) without filling up first on the cheap food (salad, hush puppies, fries, beans, and of course, tea).



I can eat about 1 1/2 lbs of catfish, 8 oz of steak, 4-5 ribs, a pork chop, and finish it off with a piece of chocolate pie if I don't eat much of the cheaper foods.



Did that answer your question?
?

I like Carlin's earlier work, but the media portrays what ever gets them ratings. To see it as some kind of conspiracy or intentional game plan is paranoid and naive.

I used to roll with that as my screen name. I chose it after participating on this board for about 2 weeks. I just recently changed it.

What's the point of this? What do you propose unifies us? The only unifiers in human society are culture and religion, and since you just discounted those...

When you say "free ourselves" what you really mean is cast off religion and assume slavery to whatever addictions and debasement we can find? Thanks but I'll keep my trust in the Lord. We'll hash it all out in the end, I'll meet you there.
