The Secret of Control

[Anders Lindman]

The most secret of secrets is the the secret of control. How do you control people? There are basically two types of control: (a) the control by sovereignty plus integrity, and (b) the power-over type of control. The elite, being apes as they are, lacking real intelligence in any shape, form or color; for they are dimwitted, insensitive, guided by no more wit than the base primitive drive of power-over tactics, accrued throughout millenia in accordance with simplistic dog-eat-dog, alpha-male baboon survival-for-the-me-me-me-and-my-kind I-scratch-your-back-and-you-scratch-my-back APELIKE kind of behavior, fueled by schemes aimed at pushing other people down so that the elite can sit on top of the immoral morass they have created in accordance with, yes you guessed it: management by fear.

Fear is lack of control and if you are able to instill fear in other people you can control them. So there you have it. It's rather stupid, but the secret of control of type (b) is fear-based management.

LOL :D Yeah!!

So, then, how does this management by fear work? Fear is valuable since it is better to have fear than confusion. When we are in a state of confusion, we don't know what to do. When we are in fear we know exactly what to do: namely to protect ourselves. The strategy used by the elite is to use fear as the sheepdog and then offer protection as the carrot. This is possible since fear is order whereas confusion is disorder. Fear is a primitive form of order, but it's better than no order at all, and can therefore be used as a means of controlling people.

Its a simple lack of knowledge...

Thats what keeps most people in the dark...

Yes, lack of full knowledge, which means lack of control. So fear and incomplete/misleading info go hand in hand. Fear tactics actually works better along with incomplete information.

What you fail to realize Mr. Anderson... is that fear controls humans, regardless if there is an elite or not... that's just how humans operate... they have experiences... they create beliefs... and then they live within the parameters set by those beliefs i.e. comfort zone... If forced outside of their comfort zone, they sense fear... and it's this imaginery fence or wall of fear... that creates the prison in which we all live.

Humans are naturally mind-controlled, but they don't even realize it... yer beliefs own you... you are a slave to them... so the most basic form of mind control is indoctrinating someone with their beliefs (through media, education system etc) so that they will do what you want... when you want - and how you want.

Why use any other form of control than this? The elite are simply taking humans own natural inner workings... and manipulating it - to further their agenda. It's genius.

Which is why all the great saints and avatars have said one thing and one thing alone...You have to centre and know *yourself*...How many people do that though...?

How many people know themselves...?

And if you do know yourself how can can you know fear...?

Simple answer is you cant...

Elite...?

Says who...?

They have been around for thousands of years according to the Vedic texts and the ONLY reason they are is because of what they know...

I disagree. It's a very simplistic form of control. It works well for purely hierarchical pyramids of power. But that's all too old-school. Network structures of control need a much smarter management than that! A network structure is way too complex to be controlled by fear. You can achieve some form of control over network structures using fear but that will manifest as hive-mind behavior which is a very poor usage of such structure.

It's the MOST simplistic or basic form of control, and that's why it's genius. Less is more... Fear knows no limitations when it comes to controlling the masses... regardless of structure.

It's good to have a solution that is as simple as possible yes, but not too simplistic. Fear-based control is simply inadequate for dealing with the more complex structures now emerging in society at an ever faster rate.

Maybe not entirely correct. There is also (at least): (c) integral control. Ken Wilber is a great fan of integral this and integral that. I suspect he even eats integral cereals at breakfast! :eek:

The integral approach is inclusive, which in the case of control means both fear-based control AND non-fear-based control.
