We are all very familiar with this ancient technique.
But perhaps it is not all black and white?
And we aren’t talking about colors or races here.
It is much deeper than that.
What if the abortion issue, euthanasia, gender, sexual preference, racism, white supremacy, CRT, socialism, humanitarianism, re-distribution, reparations, ideology, political preference, conservatism, progressiveness, liberalism, and literally every other divisive issue you can name, capitalism vs marxism, Christianity vs Islam, even Jesus vs Satan, existed for one reason and one reason only?
It couldn’t be that simple, could it?
Or could it?
Just look at the “clot shot” for the “Kung Flu.”
This “divide and conquer” strategy, in all of the many parts, has resulted in the weaponization of the very medical system, formerly held in such high regard, despite the many scams, rip offs, price fixing and such, the weaponization into a genocide cult with barely any pushback at all. Probably, and for the most part deservedly so, at least until recently, the most highly respected part of our society is now among the least respected. Who do you trust more?
Your used car dealer when he says their are four tires on the car, at least a cursory glance verifies the fact. But when your Physician ‘Group’ says you must have an operation immediately, or you could die, how do you verify that. With another physician, who probably goes to the same country clubs, even uses the same tax lawyers and accounting firms and contributes to the same politicians?
And what has happened to the former medical system has also happened to the Legal System. But even worse.
Without “Rule of Law” you have exactly nothing!
“There are no sides.”
“There’s no Sunnis and Shiites.”
“There’s no Democrats and Republicans.”
"Just haves and have nots."
It is all a “Big Show” and there is no Deep State but just “The State.“
The challenge is always recognizing exactly who is "they".
Government bureaucrats are always likely suspects. Fortune 500 CEOs are as well.
But what about the doctors, lawyers, school administrators, and innumerable mid-level managerial types? The ones for whom job "success" entails successfully leveraging the bureaucratic structure to achieve a little momentary gain--a promotion, a corner office, a larger expense account.
Are they part of the "they"? Or are they themselves just pawns? Or are they both--black pawns to our white pawns?
Which perhaps brings us to the classic quote from the movie "War Games":
"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play."

So how do we stop playing the game?
