Back in the 1990s Tel Aviv was sneakily trying to introduce Apartheid, at the same time South Africa was busy ending it under international pressure. Of course, Israel was (according to imperialist logic) "doing nothing wrong"...
At the time the world was applauding South Africa as it ended Apartheid, and simultaneously the world was applauding Israel's attempt at introducing Apartheid, branding it as just "trying to create peace."
Note, whilst singling out the Palestinians/Arafat as being "unreasonable" and "rejecting the Israeli olive leaf of peace...blah, blah..." as the accepted narrative of the Mainstream Media.
Israel never intended for Palestinians to ever live in full sovereignty.
Netanyahu, quoting Yitzhak Rabin, "We view the permanent solution in the framework of State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank ... We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, [edit: the historical examples being the "Apartheid dependencies," of the "Bantustan"] ... and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority. The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines ... The security border of the State of Israel will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term ... Jerusalem (would be) united as the capital of Israel under Israeli sovereignty ... will include both Ma'ale Adumim and Givat Ze'ev. We came to an agreement, and committed ourselves before the Knesset, not to uproot a single settlement in the framework of the interim agreement, and not to hinder building for natural growth."
All the questionable clauses, eluding reality by use of the typical vague political doublespeak, have been highlighted.
Even at this point in the 1990s, the last real chance of peace, Israel wanted Arafat to "sign away" millions of Palestinians in East Jerusalem, and some areas in the West Bank, to fall under Israeli control. What that would have meant, we see today. Settler colonists, protected by the guns of the IDF, have been using this concept of the "Bantustan" to raid and occupy one house at a time, making the original inhabitants homeless in their own city.
Notice how Rabin, commonly held as a dove in politics, never used the term "full sovereign state" when he referred to this "Palestine", but the term "less than a state." Did you spot the use of [Israel's] "natural growth"? Critical question... Where to? Where would Israelis/Zionists "naturally grow" to, if there were equal neighbours, as a balanced power, which could actually stop any such Zionist settler "growth". The Jordan Valley, extends BOTH sides of the Jordan River. Now, I'm sure that was just another slip-up too, of people who don't understand simple geography. Whatever. It is fairly clear what they wanted, and there are historical examples for this: the "pool of cheap labor" within the own borders, as the concept of the "Bantustan" was for the RSA, given a little bit of "independence" to manage some of the own affairs, but de facto/de jure powerless to stop the CONTROLLING power, intended to be Jerusalem, as Jweish capital city with the right to introduce permit laws, etc. It is literally what RSA did with their "Bantustans". Back then the people could not be fooled. They saw through the deceit, and rightfully called it out for what it was: just another Apartheid ploy to avoid the rise of political equals.
Sad reality? Today masses of fools are being mislead into praising Israel's attempted implementation of Apartheid as an attempt at peace, while at the same time denouncing a similar scheme actually implemented by the RSA in stages after WW2, as being bigoted/racist.

The inhabitants of the Greater Middle East, including the Levant, have faced division and external control for centuries. It is simpler to separate individuals based on their differences than to unify them around shared traits. Opportunistic outsiders exploit this for their own benefit. During the age of empires, the power shifted from Rome/Constantinople to London/Paris during WW1 (Sykes-Picot/Balfour Declaration/WW1), and post-1950s, as European colonialism waned, Washington DC emerged as the new authority (the entire Middle East became a battleground during the Cold War). The aim remains to prevent unity in the Middle East, enabling the control/management/moderation of dissent, a classic divide-and-rule tactic. Currently, all leaders in the region are mere instruments. Borders were drawn arbitrarily without consulting those affected. They perpetuate endless conflicts and encourage persistent dissent.
Divide-and-rule illustrates the historical timeline.
Who has historically held a GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE, remaining distanced from the consequences of their own interventions while influencing other regions? Pax Romana, Rome. Pax Britannica, London. Pax Americana, Washington DC. Their consistent desire was for peace as they claimed they wanted, but who ends up picking up the pieces and benefiting while preventing others from uniting?
Different Empires. Different eras. Same strategies...
>>>
The people of Africa have also been divided and controlled by outsiders for centuries. Tribalism facilitates this division, keeping populations impoverished under the guise of exploitation. In the age of empires, North Africa was first influenced by Rome/Constantinople, then during Western imperialism, power shifted to the USA/Europe. After the 1950s, as European colonial power declined, Africa became a stage for Cold War conflicts. When the dividers reached their peak power, they drew borders without consulting the affected populations (Congo Conference/1884), allowing their systems to extract wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The goal was to prevent unity in Africa to maintain control over dissent, a classic divide-and-rule strategy. Today, all dissenters in Africa opposing unity, including some corrupt leaders, are merely tools. The cycle of endless wars and persistent dissent continues.
Give the weak mind money, and they will dance for the outside dividers...
Divide-and-rule.
Different peoples and systems. Different locations on the map. Same antics.

The people of the Americas have similarly been divided and ruled by outsiders for centuries, as it is easy to categorize people into "ingroups." In the early stages of European Imperialism, Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, applying the divide-and-rule strategy to local systems (Aztecs/Incas). As European colonial influence waned in the 19th century, Washington DC assumed the role of divider. With the USA's growing power, the world became their playground around 1900. Today, globalists employ imperialist strategies to execute divide-and-rule on their neighbors.
Forget nuclear weapons. The divide-and-control/rule/conquer strategy is the most potent force on the planet, as it can be applied equally in times of peace to CONTROL, in times of crisis to RULE, and in times of war to CONQUER.
Since the two-faced snake descended from the tree of unity (fable), speaking deceitfully, wise individuals have warned against divisions within a peaceful status quo. Succumbing to division caused by deception leads to the loss of a good life... "and much that once was, is lost; for none now live who remember it." Such divisions benefit OUTSIDERS. Eden represented a status quo fractured by lies and deceit. The current aim is to prevent unity in the Americas, allowing for control over dissent through classical divide-and-rule. Endless conflicts over various issues, from "drugs" to "terror" (sic.), create constant dissent, with everything framed as a war.
Insert mechanisms of lies and mistrust. The two-party duopoly serves as two sides of the same coin, creating favoritism by granting access to POWER/WEALTH to those who act as proxies for their authority. The chaotic lives of domestic politics mirror the larger reality of international turmoil. The systemic (MSM) narrative points fingers elsewhere, using paid agents to present their orchestrated violence as reactions from "the oppressed, who need our help for freedom and democracy" (sic.). Deceivers create a BLACK LEGEND for the "other side."
In February 1948, George F. Kennan's Policy Planning Staff stated: "[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 exemplified a GLOBALIST prototype. This is how they increased their wealth: by inciting conflict among people and siphoning off the wealth of entire regions.
And that is what you are fighting for. That is the hegemon's consistent approach, masquerading as the "good pax," while playing "good cop/bad cop" globally from a position of strength. Historically, the "good cops" were the INTERNATIONALISTS/GLOBALISTS, while the "bad cops" were the IMPERIALISTS/MILITARISTS. Their branding and doublespeak serve to mislead the public, who are enchanted by their "bread-and-circuses" existence.
America's allies and self-proclaimed rivals in Eurasia continue to be manipulated into a (quote) "pattern of relationships" that serves their dominance. This is how divide-and-rule is executed. Refer to Halford Mackinder (Pivot of History, 1904) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Grand Chessboard, 1997) regarding Eurasia for the framework. Consult W.T. Stead (Americanization of the World, 1901) for guidelines on political, cultural, and economic domination. Read Smedley Butler (War is a Racket) for insights into the operational methods of imperialism/militarism.
The games of Albion. Post-WW2, Albion 2.0 emerged.
THE LINK OF THE WORLD.
The entire system favored in the USA/collective West is based on a pre-established managed and moderated division, benefiting a select few at the top of the hierarchy, accompanied by a frequently repeated appealing narrative. They create the script for their heroes. Their entire funded history resembles a Hollywood superhero film that seems too good to be true. Guess what? It is. What they conceal is what they strive to hide.
Who holds the POWER? Who has had the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE to influence all other "buck catchers" (tools, proxies, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER) while remaining unreachable due to geographical, technological, organizational, military, strategic, and political advantages throughout history? They create default rivals/enemies along their own paths. Typically, the power most likely to succeed is designated as the default rival/enemy. Notice how, when a rival begins to produce high-value products and competes for markets, it quickly becomes a systemic rival, subsequently surrounded geopolitically by the greater empire. This occurred around 1900 when Germany began manufacturing high-value goods and again around 2000 as China shifted from producing cheap toys to higher-value products.
War is a significant divider. It affects millions and billions, from the highest tiers down to the individual level. War disrupts alliances, divides organizations, fractures political parties, and ultimately tears families apart, reaching into the hearts and minds of individuals as they grapple with internal conflicts.
It is divide-and-rule today, just as it was 20 years ago, 50 years ago, 100 years ago, 200 years ago, and 500 years ago, because the local populations were too weak/divided to unite.
These dividers. See them for what they are. They want to meddle everywhere, but be responsible for nothing. Follow them, at your own expense.

Historically in East Asia, India and China were the biggest losers as outsiders came with the divide-and-rule technique of power (Era of Western Imperialism).
If one understands what happened to China during their "Century of Humiliation," means that one then already has the template to understand what is happening today. One can use the historical "template" and apply it in the same manner.
What happened to China during that era, is how "divide and rule" worked in the past, and still works today. Create or deepen a political problem, and then wait for the little minions benefiting from the outside POWER of imperialism to come asking for "help." Use their "plight" (artificially enhanced) to meddle, or "leverage" (power dynamics) crises into "eternal problems," sit by and do nothing as problems foment into violence, revolutions, and wars, or carry out other forms of privatized interference (corporatism) under government protection, or without. Whatever works, details really REALLY DON'T MATTER. Once "fomented troubles" rise out of hand, claim to "just want peace." Then use the little minions as favourites (favouritism = a technique within the "divide and rule" strategy of power) to destabilize an entire region, steer them against other weaker entities, and/or employ them as instruments of power (the "tools" of power dynamics), or create overseas regions as a staging area far from the home base (the "unsinkable aircraft carriers"/like colonial-era Hong Kong), etc.
Whatever works for the desired region to be divided/conquered or where CONTROL and domination is required for the economic systems of gain.
There is no way that current day Chinese leaders will not have learnt their very own historical lesson, and allow their very own history to repeat/rhyme, and allow such outside meddling in the own systems to gain traction, AGAIN for a second time.
Every nation or state has its own "Never again!"
European citizens today are still suffering from the hegemonial ambitions of some of their leaders, teaming up with Washington DC/the Pentagon. These citizens, usually around 50% of entire populations, suffer directly ("heating or eating"), or indirectly (soaring inflation), these are all "effects," not to be confused with "causes" (see concept of retro causality, one of the most easily misused ways to skew a timeline of events). Some eventually even end up in the muddy trenches.
Read Washington chief strategist Brzinzki's "grand plan", or Mackinder before that (1904). The aim was always to drive a rift between Europeans, to avoid greater European/Eurasian (geographically incl. the ME) co-operation and trade. Once that has been achieved, keep all the little minions "down," and grow off their weaknesses in the zero-sum reality of the temporary status quo. Note that "resources" cannot be produced with the snap of a finger. Creating new resources, are long-term effects of strategies, steered by the same powers. It is the CONTROL these control freaks want and steer towards, using their (temporary) GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION of POWER.
With re. to how tools are used: Robert Dickson Crane served as foreign policy advisor to President Richard Nixon from 1963 to 1968: "At that time I had read a little about Islam, because I thought Islam would be the strongest and most durable ally of the United States against Communism. Because both of us, Nixon and I, saw Communism as a world threat ..."
Note how they openly admit how they use "tools" (strategy) to "steer" (plan) against others, when it is useful to themselves.
Note also, that a "plan" and the strategy to effect the plan, are two different things.
Note also how your "enemies today," as a collective (Islam) were the systemic "good guys" in a different past. They were the "good guys" because they (Muslims as a collective) were useful at the time, as the USA implemented, to goad the SU into invading Afghanistan, where they could then be "combatted by proxy" similar to the Ukraine post-2022 and today, and there is MORE than sufficient evidence for this. Outsiders intent on playing the game, use the revolutionary spirit, in order to hop onto useful dissent, strengthen it, and insert levers which they can pry open to gain own advantages. Beijing is certainly 100% aware of this, so everything you are witnessing today is a political EFFECT, not a political "cause" as some leaders wish to mislead us towards.
Everything you are being told about Berlin, in stages after 1894, 1904, 1907, and 1912, with gathering momentum, were EFFECTS, not CAUSES. That was, based on observation, outside powers with the intention to "divide and rule" Europe, by encroaching/encircling the major continental power, which has never changed throughout recent modern history. The ONLY factor which changed over the last few centuries, was the "major continental power" which had to be CONTROLLED by the outside power who wanted a competitive advantage. The historical parallel, is the "Chinese Century of Shame"-historicity, and is well-known at least to the 1.4 billion inhabitants of China today. Certainly, they also do not wish to become "carved up" and ruled over by outsiders again, for a second time. The template therefore predicts a similar outcome, that of the more encroachment/encirclement, the more likeliness of the "breakout attempt" in some possible future.
Obvious solution for a more stable world, stop the encroachment/encirclement.
Both historically (post-1900) as well as our recent history (post-2000) there seems little incentive for those with the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE to do so, but rather the repeated attempts to search for tools to do such encroachment/encirclement FOR the outside power/s intent on gain.
Empires do not become dominant because they hand out candy and bouquets of flowers, as most realists are fully aware of, therefore the wise advice to always keep a just/wise "balance of powers. If not, fail.
Power flows to where the attention goes first, in geopolitics, in the form of political policies.
These can be studied by looking at the events themselves, not what another human being tells you (incl. this essay, which doesn't tell you anything, but implores you to start focusing on the well-known events themselves, from which one can then infer the underlying hidden policies, strategies, or objectives).
If you live in East Asia, beware of the "dividers".
The hawks will come looking for "buck catchers" and the doves will disguise it as the "helping friends"-narrative = i.e. the template of modern western imperialism. Hawks and doves working in close unison, although stated as being opposite poles.
They WILL come to you, same way as they came to the Ukraine, following the 1990s.
China has "understood".
India thinks it can "play the game" like France once did in Europe (becoming a "buck catcher" for the British Empire and USA), post-1900.
Do you agree with this macro analysis?

A long history of divide-and-rule/conquer.
The people of West Asia (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 have made 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. Endless wars, constant dissent. Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book...
Who wields the POWER? Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) 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?

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. Moscow was taking on the role of arming the resistance. Once the dividers have reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) so the own systems of gain can 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".

Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. 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), then after 1900 as European colonial powers' influence decreased, 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 rule/conquer"-strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be used invisibly in times of peace, AND in times of crisis and war equally.
Ever since the two-faced "snake" slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), human beings have fruitlessly warned and have continuously been warned, against "divisions" within a peaceful status quo. 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", constant dissent with everything's a war war war...

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?

The two-party-duopoly is two cheeks of the same 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.

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.
