  1. Why is anybody surprised? The USA is a divide-and-rule Mecca for the ultra-rich who practice it. "Divide and rule" (or "divide and conquer") is a political or strategic strategy used to gain or maintain control over a region of the planet by causing division and fostering internal conflict. The idea is to weaken opponents or rival factions, preventing them from uniting against the DIVIDING power. The strategy is based on the principle that a divided enemy is easier to manage, control, defeat or destroy. Here’s how the strategy typically works: Creating Divisions: Those in power may intentionally exploit existing differences or create new ones—such as between ethnic groups, social classes, religions, political factions, or other groups within a population. By emphasizing these differences, the leadership makes it harder for these groups to cooperate or form alliances. Fostering Competition and Distrust: The ruling power might manipulate one group to distrust another, using propaganda, misinformation, or manipulation of resources to create rivalries or tensions. Maintaining Control: With internal divisions, the groups are less likely to pose a unified threat to the ruling power. Any resistance is weakened by competing priorities, distrust, or fragmentation. Historically, divide and rule has been used by empires and colonial powers to maintain dominance over colonized regions. For example, the British Empire used divide and rule in India, exploiting divisions between various religious and ethnic groups (e.g., Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs) to prevent them from uniting against British colonial rule. Similarly, European powers used the strategy in Africa, creating borders and fostering divisions that continue to impact the region’s stability today. The technique is exposed via the events and actions, and can be hidden behind MSM steered smokescreens of manipulation and storytelling, creating false narratives favouring the DIVIDING power, or claiming these actions to be favouring peace, favouring conciliation, favouring unity, favouring economic progress, favouring trade, or other, whereas in reality the attempt is the exact opposite. Not every single group or power involved necessarily has to understand their role within the divide-and-rule strategy, which is why it persists eternally. The effectiveness of divide and rule lies in its ability to prevent the emergence of collective opposition by exploiting or manufacturing internal conflicts, making it a powerful tactic for maintaining control over diverse populations or competitors.

  2. Too many US/collective Western citizens are still imperialists, with imperialist programming: It works by manipulation, to distort perceptions. The most common MSM/MIMAC mind tricks. The most common cognitive biases which have slipped into the "history" known as popular- or narrative history, or have even reached the status as "beyond question" because too many believe it is "true", are: - Argumentum ad populum (appeal to the majority, or appeal to the masses, or the argument from consensus in which the "consensus" has a HOME BASE advantage) - Genetic fallacy (discounting a theory that sounds unnatural based on its source, creating the "I need more evidence"-crowd who ALWAYS "need more evidence" regardless of any amount of evidence already provided, and who can simply not see where they fit into the DIVIDE ET IMPERA-setup of the planet) - Ipse dixit (aka "because I said so myself" it must be true) - Cherry picking data (thereby suppressing all evidence which contradicts the own convictions, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence) - Group attribution error (assuming that the individual represents entire groups with similar attributes like culture, language, ethnicity, etc.) - Invincible ignorance fallacy (aka pig-headedness, is a deductive fallacy of circularity by ignoring any evidence given and related to the concept of "dogma") - Hostile attribution bias (is the tendency to interpret others' behaviours as having hostile intent, even when the behaviour is ambiguous or benign. For example, an empire with high levels of hostile attribution bias may interpret intentions to "balance powers" as agreed upon by common consensus, or as the "pre-selected others/outgroup (with finger pointing) trying to rule the world"-narrative) - Implicit stereotype (pre-reflective attribution of particular qualities of out group members) - Reactive devaluation (occurs when a proposal is devalued if it originates from an antagonist, resulting in "arguing for the sake of arguing") - Correlation does not imply causation (events which occur concurrently or in sequence, are not necessarily the result of each other) - Dysrationalia (fill up the "mindware gap" with fallacious reasoning or cognitive biases, and even intelligent people end up as "losers") - Madman theory ("play" crazy as a scare tactic. Wilhelm II or Hitler were most likely not more sociopathic and/or psychopathic than many or our own leaders in positions of power, but simply "played" the role as deterrence) - Emotive conjugation (a rhetorical technique used to create an intrinsic bias towards or against a piece of information. Bias is created by using the emotional connotation of a word to prime a response from the audience by creating a loaded statement. Examples are the use of "freedom fighter" for a favoured cause, and "terrorist" for a cause opposing the own) Finally, the Law of Triviality (Northcote Parkinson, 1957) states that people within an ingroup often give disproportionate weight to trivial issues (like whether "Hitler had one ball"), meaning that time is wasted on trivialities which distracts from what is really important, or indicative. When you waste time on trivialities ... "you become what you give your attention to." (to quote Epictetus) The above is all partially copied from wiki, then edited, so a shoutout to the original editors and authors.

  3. Remember all their names. But as millions of individuals, maybe we should start thinking about a different strategy. All around the world, millions of people have finally figured out they are on the wrong side of a 100-year old imperialist war in the ME, but they are not as connected or organized like the outside meddlers have been for 100 years. Right from the start of this conflict 100 years ago, the meddlers' strategy has been "divide and rule", and it has been all about OIL and outside Western CONTROL over strategic locations on the map. Counter strategy to "divide and rule": Start pulling the rug from underneath the feet of these eternal meddlers... Boycott: Much simpler than trying to remember the long loooong lists of what not to buy, and for whatever specific reasons, is to try and limit what one actually does buy: buy no-name brands from small companies (addresses usually on the labels), buy local foods (farmers markets), buy locally produced or handmade items, otherwise go slightly "over-regional," buy 2nd hand quality products, or buy fair trade wherever possible. It is not a perfect strategy, but don't get sidelined by the whiners/finger pointers who will invariably ALWAYS show up like clockwork, trying to ridicule or nag with their dumb "...duh but your using a smartphone, but your using oil toooo"-gotcha style distractions. It is not MEANT to be "perfect"... Methodology: JDI and make it a longterm lifestyle, not just a short-term knee-jerk "trend," because of some or other upsetting event in the news. Just boycott ALL corporations, as far as personally convenient and possible, and always remember that even if only 75% of all the people on the planet only get it right about 75% of the time, on roughly 75% of everything they buy, it will finally make a massive difference for all the causes you also value. Want to bring the boys home? Do you wish to limit military actions to becoming multinational, following the principles of international law only, and independent of any corporate "interests." Do you wish to contribute to end western imperialist actions and meddling all over the world? You wish to contribute a small share to forcing Israel into a negotiated peace process? Do you wish to give small companies a better chance in the dog-eat-dog capitalist world in your country? Boycott, because the international cross-border politically influencial rich and powerfull only REALLY start caring when their pockets start hurting. Regardless of where you live, here is what you can do, easily: 1) Read Smedley-Butler/War is a Racket, a very short book (should be possible in a few hours) 2) realize that after around a 100 years, NOTHING has changed 3) start unravelling the connections between big business and Washington DC, by boycotting all "big brands". Do not delay. Start today. 👍👋

  4. The storyline of oppressors "switching sides" to become the oppressors always rhyme. White settler colonists who went to North America were overwhelmingly from Europe. They were: - religiously persecuted - poor and oppressed - escaping war - religious ingroups - received imperialist support from centers of power once inside and settled down on the "promised land" - after independence was declared one-sidedly without consultation with the original inhabitants everything done became "legal 'cos a law says so" - cherished the narrative of "there was a war going on, ya know", so we "did nothing wrong" Once arrived, some (not all) took the holy book in one hand, the gun in the other, and set out to first squeeze out, and later encircle the indigenous populations towards ever-smaller reservations, after ethnically cleansing them in Trails of Tears. Oh, how history rhymed in the Levant 100 and 200 years later (1920s thru until today). Even the "stories" these white supremacists tell themselves in order to cover up for their actions sound exactly the same as 100 and 200 years ago, rhyming with the actions 100 and 200 years before in North America, Southern Africa, Australia, etc... Apologists for wrongful imperialist behaviour then try the one-liners of "Why did all these people coming to North America loooove 'merica so much?" Me: ROTFL, as if it isn't obvious why individuals who were "poor and huddled" and who received great advantages at the expense of others, wouldn't FIRST consider their own gains as "winning". Seriously, such rhetorical geniuses who apparently haven't read a single history book, are not worth wasting a single minute of "debating" on... Today, with few exceptions, even the slogans their white supremacist leaders chant rhyme in nature. The storyline which rhymes, is that the indigenous populations at a certain status quo when "we" (ingroup) arrived on their shores, were just inferior "placeholders" and therefor mere "dogs in the manger" (quoting Churchill about Native Americans and Arabs) until the true chosen people, the "superior whites" arrived to shoo them away with words, money, guns, and the POWER of OUTSIDE imperialist means and ends. Today the propagandists want YOU to "do and follow" and not to "think and oppose" imperialism. The imperialists and their apologist even chant the same slogans today, and still use the same means, as they did 100 and 200 years ago, but are too ignorant and indifferent to either know or care. It is what they spend billions on every year so their empires can keep on marching marching marching marching... -------------------------------------------- The settler colonists came in droves and all they ever wanted was peace...peace...PEACE....PIECE... A little piece of Palestine, A little piece of land A little piece of Jordan and Jerusalem, gun in hand... A little slice of Samara! And all that that entails Und then a piece of Lebanon my land, so nothing fails! A little nip of those fields! A little spot of offshore gas! A little hunk of all the water! Oh, what a lovely "alas"! Then create funny songs about those who failed. Why? Because all they honor is "successful" (term is debatable) settler colonial projects of "lebenstraum", not the failures. The failures are ridiculed, and the "successes" be sung..

  5. The USA/collective Western plot is always the same. The people of the Greater Middle East, including the Levant (most of whom are Semites, and the followers of Abrahamic religions) have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. Strategically ambiguous outsiders make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople, then during WW1 the seat of POWER playing these games changed to London/Paris (Sykes-Picot/Balfour Declaration/WW1), then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, starting around the time a bark by Washington DC in 1956 (Suez Crisis/War) showed who the new boss was, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC (the entire ME was the playground during the Cold War). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the ME, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide-and-rule. Today, their leaders are ALL tools. Draw lines on the map without asking any of those affected. Exploit and foster endless wars, meddle for constant dissent. Divide-and-rule connects the dots on the timeline of history. Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of distance from the events resulting out of the own meddling and political activities, being able to reach all the other regions, but could not be reached itself as hegemony, at any given point of a historical timeline? Pax Romana, Rome. Pax Britannica, London. Pax Americana, Washington DC. All they ever wanted was pax, because they said so, but who picks up the pieces of great wealth and the systemic gains when all the others can be avoided from uniting? Different Empires. Different era. Same games... ------------------------------------- The people of the Africa have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Tribalism makes it easy to divide people, then keep them poor under the "kind foot" of exploitation. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the playground during the Cold War. Once the dividers had reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) the own systems of gain could siphon off wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The intention was simply to avoid unity in Africa, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide-and-rule. During the Cold War, Moscow took on the role of arming the resistance to the colonial dividers. Today, all African dissenters fighting against unity, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent. Give the weak mind money, and they will dance for the outside dividers... Divide-and-rule. Oldest trick in the book... Different people and systems. Different places on the map. Same games. -------------------------------------- The people of the Americas, including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. In the beginning stages of era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide-and-rule technique of top-down power on the local systems (Aztecs/Incas), and as European colonial powers' influence decreased during the 19th century, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC. As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900. Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide-and-rule games on their neighbours. Forget nukes. The divide-and-control/rule/conquer strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be employed equally in times of peace to CONTROL, in times of crises to RULE, and in times of war to CONQUER. Ever since the two-faced snake slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), the wisest human beings have fruitlessly warned, and the easily divisable have continuously been warned against divisions within a peaceful status quo. When you bow to the division caused by deception, you will lose the good life..."and much that once was, is lost; for none now live who remember it." Such divisions create GAIN for OUTSIDERS (Eden as a system divided by lies and deceit). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide-and-rule. Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror" (sic.), constant dissent with everything's a war war war... Insert levers of lies, mistrust. The two-party-duopoly is two cheeks of the same golden hind which set out to create favourites: Favouritism, by granting access to the own POWER/WEALTH, to those who volunteer to act as proxies and extensions for the own power projection. The small picture lives of domestic political chaos, of the big picture reality of international insanity. Point the systemic (MSM) finger, everywhere else, by use of the own paid stooges of power by presenting their deep state-orchestrated three-letter-agency astroturfed violence on multiple tiers as being the reactions of "the poor oppressed people, who need our help for freedom and democracy" (sic.). Liars, deceivers, creators of the BLACK LEGEND for the "other side". In February 1948, George F. Kennan's Policy Planning Staff said: "[W]e have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. ... Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity." Kennan: A prototype GLOBALIST. And that is what they did to increase their own wealth. Set up people against each other, then siphon off the wealth of entire regions of the planet. And that is what you are fighting for. That is what the hegemon has always done, pretending to be the "good pax", but playing "good cop/bad cop" with the world, from a position of power. In the past, the "good cops" were the INTERNATIONALISTS, and the "bad cops" were the IMPERIALISTS. In the present that has morphed into the "good cops" being the GLOBALISTS/NEOLIBS, and the "bad cops" being the NEOCONS. Name-branding and doublespeak for the slumberland plebs, enchanted by their "bread-and-circuses"-existences. America's friends and self-proclaimed default rivals in Eurasia are still being burnt to ensure this disparity continues, with a (quote) "pattern of relationships" which are beneficial to the own rule. Set up European and Eurasian nations (including the Middle East/North Africa) against each other. It is how divide-and-rule is implemented. The imperialist playbook of Great Britain and the USA for more than 100 years. Read Halford Mackinder (Pivot of History, 1904) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Grand Chessboard, 1997) regarding Eurasia for the template. Read W.T. Stead (Americanization of the World, 1901) for the guideline of political-, cultural- and economic capture. Read Smedley-Butler (War is a Racket) for the modus operandi of imperialism/militarism. Some say Europe is a divine goddess. I say, it is a humble apple tree, from an allegory as old as modern civilizations, because it is easy to divide. Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book... Four corners of the globe. Different cultures and religions. Same games. THE LINK OF THE WORLD. The entire system they favor in the USA/collective West is based on a pre-set managed and moderated division, for the benefit of a very few at the top of the pyramids accompanied by the often-repeated nice-sounding storyline. Create the script of the own heroes. Their entire scripted money-funded history sounds like a Hollywood superhero movie that sounds too good to be true. Guess what? It is. It is what they are NOT telling you, that they try to hide. Who wields the POWER? Who has had the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? Create the default rival/enemy on their own marching routes. It is usually the power most likely to succeed which is determined as the default rival/enemy. Notice how, as soon as a rival starts mass-producing products high up in the value chain of capitalism, and starts vying for markets, and becomes successful, it immediately becomes the systemic rival, and is then geopolitically encircled by the greater empire. It happened around 1900, as Germany started building high-value products, and it happened around 2000, as China started moving away from building cheap toys and labor intensive kitchen appliances... The games start on the home turf. The first victims are their own people in the USA/collective West, locked in the eternal struggle for wealth and personal gain which they have been deceived into thinking is "good greed", but which WILL be exploited by the snakes who deceive them on the domestic tier of the divide-and-rule system of power. Because ..."most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." - Walter E. Williams War is a great divider. It goes straight through the heads of millions and billions of people from the very top tiers, right down to the individual level. War divides alignments and alliances, goes straight through organizations, divides political parties, tears through families, and finally at the very bottom tier, goes straight through individual hearts and minds as individuals struggle with themselves.

  6. “Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now." - Aaron Bushnell Do something. Boycot. Do. Not. Stop. Now.
