Democracy Study Guide v1

1. The Wisdom of Sun Tzu and the Big Lies

What our true enemy has accomplished the last few years in completely taking over 'our' once-almost-aspiring-democracies is a veritable master class in Sun Tzu's Art of War. Think of some of the great war strategist's main observations -

>> "Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win" - our rulers, the current incarnation of the 'western civilization' branch of the worldwide ruling elite gang which has been ruling for the last several hundred years, or thousands depending on how you want to count, let me just call the modern western incarnates 'Big Brother' collectively for the sake of brevity, has been slowly but steadily 'coup-de-grace'-ing our once-almost-democracies from within for the last 60 years or so, patiently but relentlessly creating a majority of passive, dumbed-down, obedient citizens, clearly, as the last few covid years have demonstrated, completely incapable of anything but passive obedience to their Masters' edicts, of even thinking of resistance when Big Brother comes out of the closet and tells everyone to forget their cancelled theoretical rights, they would now believe what they were told to believe, do as they were told to do, with not even a pretence of democratic input. The 'battle' for the control of 'their' fiefdoms, the pretend 'democratic' nations of the west, over before it openly began, their (Big Brother's) enemy, fully subdued before they openly declared battle (yes, many of us knew and know about these people and their plans and have been trying to resist for many decades, but we were/are clearly a very marginalized minority with little to no influence on what went or goes on in our countries or the majority of our fellow citizens, who have been well trained to consider us as 'crackpots' or 'conspiracy theorists' and ignore or even mock our warnings)

And similarly -

>> "All warfare is based on deception." - the lies and lies and lies I talked about earlier and go into detail about later that have been used to create the matrix of lies to control the passive, obedient citizenry, and justify their increasing surveillance state - all in the pursuit of the main goal again -

>> "Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting" - again as above, similar idea, differently expressed, worldwide, next to no resistance from the dumbed down obedient highly indoctrinated masses to the blatant covid lies, and the completely illegal and unconstitutional orders following from those lies -

- and perhaps the most relevant -

>> "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

And it seems very very clear that 'the enemy' knows both themselves and 'we the people' very well, so that through their media, both 'news' and 'entertainment', and puppet governments and 'education system' and in recent years 'social media' - with of course the 'sanctioned state violence' available when any group gets a bit too pushy or disinclined to obey clearly oppressive rules - they herd us around pretty much at will, winning every battle from imposing seatbelt laws in the late 70s through declaring covid lockdowns, while 'we the people' in general have no fucking idea at all what's going on 'behind the scenes' with the enemy, or in the bigger picture of 'the (true) ways of power', or themselves - while we sign righteous petitions and march in some demonstration and go home after accomplishing nothing then passively line up in droves for the kill shots, the rulers are controlling elections and flooding us with indoctrinating propaganda - and consequently 'we' have been losing every battle; indeed, it would seem most of 'us' aren't even aware there has been a pretty much existential war going on for decades now over who is going to control our societies, and we've pretty much never even had any kind of resistance as the walls of control are built and reinforced year after year. Most of those few of us having some dim idea that things aren't going quite the way they ought if we really had 'democracies' are not all that much better, it would seem - most of us still basically wandering around in a fog swatting at things unknown, collecting on websites and complaining about things without talking about useful ways to resist, doing nothing more, aside from the complaining, than organizing ineffectual protests, working for political parties we think might make things better but of course are all elite-controlled to provide some kind of 'this far and no farther' faux-reisistance, etc etc, with no organized, well-informed resistance based on a fundamental analysis of 'true power' and what is actually going on to create these problems or talking seriously about ways to effectively oppose such power, which is so well understood by the rulers. We're kind of like peasants applying checkers rules and strategies when the real game is on the worldwide chess board which has no rules at all other than winner takes all, thus finding ourselves under continuous checkmate with no idea what's going on.

I'm not going to get into any detailed discussion of 'the ways of power' here, that could take many many learned books, and I would hope that if a movement for true democracy does get under way many such investigations and conversations will be undertaken in the course of the democracy discussions by smart people coming to smart conclusions to help in this fight, to add to the ancient texts such as Sun Tzu's and many many other treatises on the subject which the Rulers study and know well - for now, it is enough to turn that light on, and get people thinking about it, about the ways the powerful elite have of maintaining and strengthening their hold on 'our' societies, and thus start to base strategies to fight these people on practical realities as part of our Democracy movement. But clearly the basic weapons, the primary weapons of power, as I noted earlier, are simply the strategies of top-level predators in the wild, deceit and violence, the deceit being the primary weapon in the modern world as in the matrix of lies I outlined above - and thus getting the truth of our world understood, and shattering this matrix of lies, will be the central way we begin the fight to create a true democracy and a truly better society and world for all of us - they will of course then turn to their ever-present backup of violence, for which we will also need to be adequately prepared.

And then over time the top level human predators, potentially as superior to the 'wild animal' alphas as those alphas are to their prey, establishing societal control, as we see today, so that the prey don't understand they are prey, as human farmers in a somewhat parallel way have done with domesticated sheep and cattle etc happy in their fields and barns, or our rulers have done with all of us - we are 'prey' in the sense that rather than operating as fully free mature human beings creating peaceful and prosperous societies as most of us would prefer if allowed to operate freely, we willingly spend our lives doing the work that creates the society that keeps the rulers living in great luxury with more or less omnipotent power over us all with most of us having no idea of this basic dynamic - yes, as noted earlier, many of us do have decent lives, again not because of the generosity of the rulers, but because of the understanding and strength and sacrifice of so many of our ancestors strongly and successfully resisting and pushing back the feudalistic desires of the new ruling class capitalists 150 and on years ago - which the descendents of those same capitalists are new turning back quite decisively, with very few people it seems aware of this actual dynamic, again believing the lies of the rulers that it's all some kind of act of god, or putin and the fucking commies, that we are helpless to resist.

And of course the modern neo-feudalist weapons of power include many other intertwined things they have devised or refined over the centuries, perhaps most strongly the divide and conquer tactic they've spread throughout our 'true left', the insertion of infiltraitors (sic think about it) in every movement, the constant bombardment of the major lies through the media every minute of every day creating a massive society-wide peer pressure factor that a majority of insecure humans will cling to like religion rather than declaring themselves free-thinking humans strong and secure enough to challenge the peer pressure.

And the real power game in the modern world is of course primarily the field of adults, not children, intelligent, eyes-wide-open adults who understand the true ways of the world, and do not live in various kinds of childish fantasies, adults who are educated in their elite schools in the serious ways of power, while sending the commoners to schools which indoctrinate the rest of us in the ways of commoners, the acceptance that someone is going to be ruling us and good citizens do as they're told and happily die for their countries when the rulers decide they need to, understanding that we will work in the mills all of our lives, that the focus of our lives is being obedient parts in a great machine, that 'democracy' means we get a chance to vote for our immediate mill-masters every few years, and etc etc etc. Look at how the adult rulers have taken this potentially amazing tool that could create democracy in every society - the instant communication available through the internet on the 'smartphones' (aka hivephones) - and turned it into a tool of hivemind oppression, with the vast majority of citizens seeing it only as a fun thing to play on, to watch childish videos on, to ramp up the childish peer pressure to almost indestructible levels.

If we are to have any chance to establish true 'of, by and for the people' democracies, not controlled in all important ways by the eternal ruling class from behind the scenes where 'commoners' never get to see, it is the first order of importance that we study and become learned in these ways of power - not so that we can have a great battle about who leads, but so that we can see through their deceptions, see how the sausage is made, so we have the wits and courage to resist their commands and deny their lies as we, together, forge our own path to a truly better future for all of us.

There are also necessary things to learn about running the large bureaucracies that are required for large enterprises, such as a great modern democracy, to run smoothly, with appropriate levels of awareness to detect and resist clandestine takeover attempts, etc - we need to learn how to control and manage such things, rather than being simple obedient cogs within them.

We have some small rays of hope as defined in old sayings, i.e. 'the best disinfectant is sunlight', or 'truth will always prevail in the end', and 'we are many they are few', and if we small band of brothers and sisters can wake our fellow citizens up to the truth of what is happening, and start to think about and understand the ways of Power which are needed to defend ourselves against those who already understand Power and how to use it - some day soon the sun will rise on a much, much better world.

And then we have The Ways of Peace - Truth Force...
