A Psy-ops tool as old as civilization...On Dragons & Terrorists...
Edited on Sun Jun-29-08 09:58 AM by Boxerfan
I was watching a History channel program on Dragons last night. Great program in which the history of Dragons in lore & religion are discussed.

It occurred to me that it is the same old game being played now. Dragons are/were "Terrorists". And while there are real dangers in the world today the "terrorists" conjure is put to the same use. A grand & despot enemy-Unconquerable without great sacrifice. Another key feature of "Dragons/Terrorists" is there is seldom proof of their demise.

I think we have the same chance of winning such wars. That much is obvious without the correlation.. But shedding light on the antiquity of this method. I believe that is something to consider.

The only real way to fight such a grandiose psy-ops operation is by mass revolt. A quantum shift in leadership wherein the oppressed take hold the reins of authority. Alas as predictably the leading characters devolve. It seems the nature of Man is to consume but there is never enough for all....

Therein lies our past. Therein lies our future.

Great minds through the ages have pondered such paradox. No answers have emerged to survive the era's. I doubt me meanderings here have any purpose than to season the wound.

As a lesser I will fight to survive & better the future for me & my family. As we all will. Whether we fight as a society together will be the key to our current dilemma. Alas again-I see not.

The wedge-a compound lever driven by force....It has worked for years. Find a wedge issue. Divide & repeat. Any size nation can be brought to its knees in short order.

Look at the USA. How many factions are there?. Hate radio has droned on as a mantra unchecked. This has led to a very angry & illiterate mob mentality in a large segment of the USA. Always finding the next object of edification to blame. It's plain as day this nation is divided.

Sadly it's not just them-let ME divide us in this conversation. Not intentionally mind you but I know the effect. The Hillary Vs. Obama campaign brought forth some of the most rancid behavior I have ever observed among people I am COUNTING ON. I am counting on all of us to come together. Lot of dead flesh laying around now. It will take time.

Luckily we as a whole respond well when faced with a common threat. Hence this whole Psy-ops /wedge issue thing. Bush is as great a threat as any Dragon or Terrorist. We have his clone to thwart & that will bind many of us.

But it will not solve the problem-or the pattern IMHO...

Just some Sundays musings.
