Divide to Conquer and Control

We are now getting into the core of “divide to conquer and control.” We are entering the process of Changing 2 = 2 into 2 = 1, Chapter 2 in my book An Inconvenient Lie. Falsify reality, impose lies and invent a big delusional fantasy for the ‘stupid’ masses, is the method used by “higher” men with special/divine power who then do a snow job on your mind using millions of ‘details’ to rationalize the lies –and overwhelm you.

When you operate on belief you allow a ‘holy’ alpha male (in the sky!) to create your identity, he identifies you as ‘belonging to him.” You are his possession: you believe. You are not to ask who, why, what, when, how … Just believe and all is and will be OK.

When you operate on knowledge you ask the right questions. What are the facts? Why are these facts? What is the evidence? Does it make good cause and effect sense? Has logic been used? And so on. So that when you operate on knowledge you are at the job of creating your own unique identity at the same time. No one else on earth lives in the same place, in the same circumstances with the same environment or has the same brain as you. But you choose at all times to know what is what.

A holy alpha male claiming ‘divinity’, special, above all others is a ‘higher’ man, a power monger. He lusts for control over people. The more minds he can control the better. To steamroll over your good mind he has named himself an authority, such a big authority that he 1 knows all there is to know, 2, he sees all there is to see and 3, he is in all places at once. As an authority he arbitrarily sets up these most fantabulous falsehoods. And you believe them. His control of you is so complete that when he names you as his possession by a name to identify you as his possession you allow this to happen. You “serve the Lord.” You chose at sometime in your life to believe. You no longer ask critical questions.

‘Higher’ men ABOVE everyone else have been claiming superiority over others for centuries. This is one reason why history including ancient history should be of great interest to you. For the past 6 - 10,000 years slavery was norm, for the last 4000 years legalized slavery became a system called feudalism. We’ve had over 10,000 years of patriarchy, men competing for places as ‘higher’ men to control others.

So society ‘believes’ that the victims in patriarchy are those that are ‘not male’. This again is belief. Not knowledge. Belief is not knowledge. What does the model of men competing to be the highest of highest, the holiest of holies, do to “lesser” men? For where there are “higher” men, there are “lesser” men. What does this division do to men?

This is why I claim that the 10,000 years of patriarchy harmed both genders in “equal but different” ways.

Manu’s Law, subjugating one gender to the other gender harmed both in “equal but different” ways. The harm is deep, invisible and complex.

First, a few men bloated with the belief they possessed divinity and special power made it appear to the people to be true by claiming Godhood. They were to be addressed as Lords, Manu being one of these. His greed for power was so great he made slavery legal. Absolute obedience was demanded. Rule by a few men is the foundation of Patriarchy.

Note that I said a few men. The rest of the men were ‘lesser’ men, not divine, and so could be and were also enslaved. Slavery became a global phenomenon. Lords claimed it to be natural, and in fact, God’s plan. This is the circular argument: it (slavery) is so because we say it is so.

Slavery soon grew into a more organized system called feudalism. Now when one looks into the past with the 20/20 vision of hindsight you see that in almost every large group held together by geography, language, colour, etc., there arose a few men who claimed divinity. Gods, Kings, Emperors, Lords … exploded on the scene, to whom all ‘lesser’ beings owed absolute obedience, fealty and fidelity.

So the Roman patriarchs wanted their own God too. In 200BCE the Romans put the ‘Manus’ into law. (Note the similarity between Manu and the Manus as names) The ‘Manus’ was “the authoritative control of the husband over his wife.” It too was claimed to be God’s plan. And it appears three times in the Bible. In between Manu of the Hindi and the Roman ‘Manus’ a divinity was claimed among Jews, Emanuel, a name incorporating the name of Manu. And in 600ACE the Arab nations claimed a divinity and set up another God. Serving the Lord became the definition for being moral.

Feudalism blossomed all over the globe right up to the 17^th Century. It took the species until the 1760’s to see that they were being controlled, that society had been ‘fixed’. Rich and poor, clean and unclean, men and not men, higher men and lesser men, educated and not educated … all intersecting divisions making it easy to control “the masses.”

The species suffered 4000 years of slavery, feudalism and patriarchy. These so deeply harmed both genders that it is naïve to think that we are out of the poisoned and infested woods.

The Two Genders in the Species: Embedding Violence In Language, EVIL

The sum of names, symbols, words and sounds make up what we call language. When names carry lies or are used as a “divide conquer and control” tool, these are embedded violence in language. This is evil.

We have a tendency to take language for granted. We believe language is set for all time. Nothing could be further from the truth.

To “divide conquer and control” the two genders of the species, it had to begin by making them enemies of each other. Manu of the Hindi in 2400BCE subjugated one gender to the other BY LAW. Language developed with the law in mind. Patriarchal Language embedded violence in language, evil, to succeed.

So when violence is defined only by its physical aspect and consequences one of the effects is that it becomes gendered. It divides the genders into victim - and perpetrator. Most violence is divided this way. Divide people to conquer and control them is the patriarchal philosophy of “divide conquer and control.”

This is the bottom line: everyone, that is, both genders receive and learn the same language. So both genders learn the language and philosophy of “divide conquer and control.”

The conclusion: if the language is not changed the aims and attitudes will not change. Violence has to be fought on the whole definition that includes both mental and physical violence by both genders working together. Exclude one and failure is almost surely guaranteed.

The two sides of violence

Physical violence is easy to see. Assaulting an innocent person.hitting a dog, killing an "enemy," harming a child, beating a wife,destroying property, war activity, the prostitution of adolescents, the pornography of sexuality, homelessness, etc., are easy to see.

Mental violence is harder to see. Coercing, discriminating, namelessness, bullying, sabotaging, cheating, shunning, rationalizing, betraying and being made to carry a false identity are harder to see. They are validated by embedding their seeds in names, words and symbols we use everyday. Embedding Violence In Language - EVIL. The acronym fits the description.

This means that violence must be redefined to include both sides.
