Many different empires, cultures and nations have existed in history and while the details, styles, values and aesthetics keep changing, the core structure remains unchanged.
In order to benefit from social coperation and steal reward in excess of the labour and value you invest, you cannot take it by brute force for extended periods of time without facing the wrath of the crowds. The crowds need to give it to you willingly or unknowingly.
There was one exception to this synopsis, the Feudal System but there is more to that than people realise, it's a post for a later day and deserves full scrutiny and parrellels do manifest. The feudal system though was more a sovereign system over a nation and would little use to globalists whose aspirations are not to rule a nation, but to reduce entire nations to vassals and rule over EMPIRE. This would require a a sophisticated interplay of managing a home population with that of the conquered nations on the frontier. We see that strategy burst almost fully formed into the world stage with Phillip II of Macedonia, who along with his son Alexander (the great) provide the first detailed records of how it may have worked. No doubt there were earlier versions, but there are no reliable means to dissect it. Certainly Alexander was a master at maintaining the a support of his army in difficult conditions.
The support of the home crowd is also needed to win wars. No army has ever been effective fighting under duress, they would assemble, arm and immediatly turn on you.
In the mainstream if you research Divide & Rule or Divide & Conquer they are typically conflated. The empasis is more on the Machiavellian angle. Machiavelli formulated the divide and conquer strategy as an axiom in his own version of Art of War where the enemy can be forced to break up their forces or where the mutual trust between the opponent’s leader and his men can be sabotaged and broken.
Economically in the corporate world it’s used to gain advantage by triggering smaller competitors to take business away from each other and in effect canceling each other out, leaving the larger corporation to move in to reap greater profits, an indirect way the bigger fish eat the littler fish. Business models also use it to successfully tackle a large project by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable components. Read more HERE
Before the reigning Judeo-Christian Anglo-American Empire of today there were other more monolithic empires that the current crop of loosely ideologically aligned old money banking dynasties, globalists and corporate fascists either studied or even modeled themselves on.
Alternatively, with or without engineering society themselves they found that the institutional relics of these early social engineers remained, such as in Babylon, and that the self perpetuating setup was an environment they could flourish in. They then gamed the system commensurate with their agenda.
This way the social climate itself nurtures the success of such types and the situation really does becomes self perpetuating. This has been perpetuated but would probably be the case long after the original social architects are gone. We could conceivably be battling a legacy that outlives it's creators by decades or even centuries if we blunder on without the introspection to guard against it.
As it stands right now the danger is as real with one guise as it is with the other. Let's be serious here. In reality there is no immediate ideological motive driving politics. The ideology is not in the campaigning, it is in the unseen design of the puppet-master globalist interests. This means that historically wherever ideology is given for public consumption as motive, I would advise a degree of skepticism. Behind the dull ideological sheep, even those running for public office is one of two possibilities. Either a big money, or a smarter social architect, and the latter is ultimately what this post is all about.
More often than not elite Zionists don't really indulge in peasant pursuits like Judaism, they are atheists who use it for control. Elite Neocons likewise are not really always Zionists, Christians or even patriots. I would make the case that they are in fact just the opposite, they are traitors. Globalism today is what Empire was in the past. Globalists do not really want a "Global Village" because that would be based on peer to peer tech and decentralized cryptocurrency. The evidence points to them wanting something more akin to a globalist ghetto based on centralized central bank fiat currency, massive debt and.... well, that can only end in tears.
All of the Neoliberal capital finance trends speak to us and reveal that they want franchises and employees not entrepreneurs and owned businesses. Real power is not elected, but is not a monarch either. There is something behind the throne that is more powerful than the king himself.
The ancients learned this the hard way. Their elites streamlined some highly sophisticated devices to engineer society through its institutions and that way they were able to produce values to which that society aspires. This is the true art of social engineering. The art of using spin and propaganda to manipulate our contemporary values. These values are then enforced by social regard and punished by social shame. This is more powerful than a police force enforcing laws by the sword or the gun. Adhering to these values could then be what is rewarded by status, praise or financial means. This effectively recognized our Darwinian nature before the science was even known!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide_and_rule
Once the values "we" stand for are institutionalized, we instantly differ from "them" and our tribal instincts are now ominously poised to be used against us. But by which methods?
Herein lies the brilliance of a legacy of ruling elites, each studying and improving on methods that were successful for previous dynasties, with the mistakes eliminated.

Herein lies the brilliance of a legacy of ruling elites, each studying and improving on methods that were successful for previous dynasties, with the mistakes eliminated.
Since Roman times, and probably well before, the method has been to use labels and values and tribal instincts against the peasants via two channels. The Romans were essentially frauds in many ways. Merchants and bureaucrats spreading census and survey long after military might. At their core their elite wanted land, power and control much like the capital finance multinationals and offshore tax havens, mercantile traders and bankster cabal of today.
Roman brilliance seems centered around their shadowy cults, or indeed the more known ones such as the Imperial Cult, all of whom wanted power above all else. They were nothing like the enlightened ancient Greeks they sought to sell themselves as. Most of the early art, engineering and philosophy attributed to the Romans was in some way or another taken from various groups such as the incredible iron age Etruscan society. This is borne out even by the genetic record. They were also ultimately social engineers in a defacto sense although likely happened upon it by chance. The two channels that came to define The Roman Empire (more than any claims of being civilized) were tactically almost perfect. They were a marked improvement on the methods of Philip the Second of Macedon. Philip II may have been the first internationalist with his supranational project, the League of Corinth. Divide and rule at home and divide and conquer at the frontier.
Still today whether its by race, creed, custom, ethnic, religious, partisan, nationalist, red state / blue state lines they will divide us and they will get us to turn to them to protect us from ourselves. This is the essence of it. If they need to do on duck season/rabbit season lines, trust me, they WILL do it.... with proper control of the media and indoctrination devices of society that is.
Bugs demonstrates how easy the system is to game
The objective is to ensure voting never effects the institutions that secure the stranglehold of the status quo on the establishment.

Preventing Change: Peasant Politics (Identity Politics, SJW, Tokenism, Virtue Signalling)
If the population of the home sphere should ever unite against power, the system straightaway fails. Prevention of unity must be the primary objective of "Divide and Rule" Fail here and the entire system fails.
Let the peasants contest elections
over peasant politics (nowadays identity politics)
These are generally tokenism issues lacking in focus on systemic injustice, this is not a coincidence. They pushed based on how successfully they acheive emotional attachments to that this aspects ensures the media coverage of the issues never produces advancement of the issues but rather produces teams, tribes and serves only to sew division with the proles. That way you need not surpress coverage, the more coverage you give the further away unity gets. Keep opening the borders and forcing cultures of different cultural values into close quarters and give media attention to the most militant minorities rights groups and sabotage movements seeking social equality on moderate, sound principles to ensure sectors of the population remain disenfranchised and bitter.
Taxes Have each elected party reverse what the previous party did.
Past equivalences to what later became Womens rights, minorities rights, LGBT, Gay Marriage, Legalizing Pot, Abortion, etc these are all issues that stemmed from tribal/ cultural values, that the elites believed should obsess the peasant mind, because the peasants sense of who he is should by now be linked to whichever group he collectively identified with, and he should vote along these lines. Media must always report along these identity lines and threats to the various collectives must get regular and thorough coverage, invite community leaders to answer questions or debate pre-selected topics, but never to volunteer advice, on social issues. On monetary and foreign policy only ask closed questions.
The evils of prospects of conquest of nations or tribes that the empire has designs on be reported on by media, report on the brutality of their leaders or the ills of their customs, design the incidents around the regions our armies need to secure to control the resources or routes we covet.

The Establishment
The institutions have always been:
1) Money Supply (the treasury, fitness of coin, mint & now the central banks)
2) The religious institutions (temples, texts, then later churches AND THE RELIGION ITSELF )
3) The media of all varieties
4) The educational curriculum (the indoctrination device)
5) The Military & Police
6) The Democracy itself where applicable.
The practice of democracy was rolled out to service the existing power structure, not just to give the illusion of choice as most people believe, but also as the catalyst to channelling the psychological enslavement of the masses and have them believe it to be the very source of their liberty. A masterstroke, but it can only be run at home not in the frontier and colonies because the state institutions are only by design and established at home, the colonies must be run by authoritarian means.
Nothing has changed since Roman days, the United States still has managed democracy at home and still installs dictatorships in its conquered lands contrary to its stated values, but if the institution of media is securely controlled you control the news narrative. If you control today's news narrative then you effectively control tomorrow's history. If you control the past and the sense of where we come from, then you effectively control the future because you have the means to weild the divide and rule spell. Sheer brilliance streamlined over centuries.
The capture of the Western State and education curriculum was achieved as detailed here:

How to defeat it.
George Orwell understood how to undo perpetual enslavement, but stopped short of a formula. This was likely because he was essentially one of them and only given scope by British intelligence agencies to write his dystopian novels because it serviced a useful and more immediate propaganda exercise against the communist rival of the day than any intangible abstract possible future danger would concern people with.
The key objective: There are none so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free, for they shall fight and die protecting their enslavement, so long long as the values of freedom (as understood by the proles) reconcile (in reality) with circumstances commensurate with control. This is double-speak in the ministry of truth. Society must financially reward enforcers, and status recognized by achievement in enforcing and furthering these apparatus.
Spin. Success. Shame. Scorn.
There is no other way to describe the world views of MSM than as conspiracy theories. Tin foil hat wearers also sprout conspiracy theories which in their paranoid heads are everywhere. People don't take the time to find out, and that leaves holes in their understanding, but the truth lies somewhere in between. Same with ideology of all kind. Are you socialist? Capitalist? Religious? Patriot? Partisan? As soon as you adopt a label you are finished. Once your identity is tied in with any predetermined wholesale set of beliefs your ego now requires you defend it as if it were your own personal standing. The best way to position yourself as an emergent thinker, if you value freedom of thought and objectivity and don't want to be enslaved to an unseen hand by cool & calculated design, is to keep the separate aspects of things you are passionate about as stand alone principles without adopting any package-deal/ pre-constructed labels that require adopting the entire ideology. The down side is that people are used to taking sympathetic or antagonistic positions against predefined labels and will assume if you discuss one element you are in for the rest. This takes time to clarify and can be a chore but its worth it since the predefined narratives are not producing engagement that is advancing the issues, its producing teams, camps, tribes and clans. Again, this is by design. The most important device in divide and conquer method is get the peasants to identify collectively. You can't divide unless there are tribes to divide into. Where there are no ethnic/racial/sectarian/religious divides to inflame you engineer them along partisan or ideological lines but this fails if the lines are blurred so labels are the single most important ingredient in the divide and conquer recipe.
It is no accident that every aspect of MSM is crafted around this premise, and the issues processed through them by reductionist principles. It follows logically that it is impossible to protect yourself from this trap unless you shed these labels.
If you class yourself as any of the below my suggestion is rather engage with people based on the merits of separate principles, not your identity label.
Partisan (team red/blue or labour or conservative or democrat etc). The most obvious and cheapest trick.
Capitalist. Isolate the free market principles you value without selling yourself a capitalist, its a wide and deadly scoped term that has a cost of judgement related to all the empire conquests rather than the Libertarian origins which were well-intentioned. Never fall into the capitalist vs socialist trap, keep the debate focused on issues not teams.
Socialist. Isolate the comunity values you believe are beneficial. There is no shame in wanting a society that takes care of its sick and old rather than all its welfare going to big banks, but there is divisive prejudice in the commie/red fear baggage. As above never succumb to socialist vs capitalist controlled narrative, that is the trap that is set to create division on ideological lines.
Religious. Only use your religious freedom to protect your religious integrity, do not allow it to define you as a social dynamic even if it defines you personally, otherwise it will be used against you. Never VOTE on religious lines, this will result only in exploitation.
Race. The easiest thing to exploit by rulers. Use race descriptively or in cases of rights violations. Avoid groups, politics and social movements parading as pride movements and don't be guilted in defining yourself by race, your individuality is your most precious freedom, your racial identity is a descriptive reality not a stereotype prison.
Feminist. The only thing you need to change is defining yourself by a label designed to enslave you. You can still champion the same causes but without the desired divisive label.
This unaligned resistance, by issue not by party alignment, is the best way to service your pride in your nation, to keep it free and honest. Never do it the disservice of allowing cheap peer pressure to prevail or you risk becoming a brown-shirt thug that threatens everything you believe you stand for.
The story of the Etruscans
Before Macedonian emergence, Greeks had colonies all over the Hellenistic World as well as around the Mediterranean and Black Seas. The difference in those times is that there was no centrally commanded strategic template of the sort I am seeking to describe. In fact the Greek city states were more inclined to compete or even fight wars against each other.
During the Peloponnesian wars between Athens and Sparta, they did happen upon a tactic that would become central to the developed empire in the modern globalist sense. They found a way to engage in deficit spending despite using gold and silver. They did this by diluting more and more copper into their coins of the day to make their limited supply of precious metals go further to finance military campaigns. This financial aspect would later be improved upon by blending it with Babylonian "money magic" and later still with Keynesian economic chicanery. This is essentially the invention of macro-economics.
Rather it is macro-economics by virtue of abandoning all sound fiscal policies and economically sound Austrian Economics principles embraced later (and possibly as a result) by the likes of Andrew Jackson and the libertarian boom times of America.
HERE is more on early Greek Colonies.
The Mongols and Black Russians / White Russians all have fascinating sub plots. As did the Byzantine chapter of the Holy Roman Empire. I should include groups historians mistake as more simple such as The Hun and the later (now controversial) Khazarians and many associated with the ancient Babylonian "money magic".
This is not restricted to nations. Tax-exemption as well as usuary, money changing or money renting would characterise both the sovereign vs empire struggle and globalist structures for centuries to come.
It took many forms such as:
- The Knights Templar
- The Crusades
- The Merovingian Dynasty
- The Alexanders
- The Medici
- The Roundtable of Rhodes, Milner, Rockefeller and Rothschild
- The Catholic Church
- The Blue & White flag UN organisation
- The CFR & Trilateral Commission of the Neocons Deep state
- The Vatican etc etc.
The Sumerians were endlessly fascinating but most of these are left out of school text books or get an insulting two pages dedicated to their incredible societies. This is deliberate because elites have borrowed their secrets on how to rule. Divide and rule were elements of all of those elitest groups, secret societies or custodian cabals posing as leaders of the key internationalist nations in past civilizations.
Still today whether its by race, creed, custom, ethnic, religious, partisan, nationalist, red state / blue state lines they will divide us and they will get us to turn to them to protect us from ourselves. This is the essence of it. If they need to do on duck season/rabbit season lines, trust me, they WILL do it.... with proper control of the media and indoctrination devices of society that is.

Immigration (purposely send assimilated citizens whose parents were from barbarian tribes into Roman cities to sew civil discord, have one party (creative license for comparisons sake, they never had "parties") Champion pro-barbarian rights and have one traditional values party address the threat to Roman values the Barbarian ways represent. This goes on ad infinitum. Have Pagan (conservative) issues set off against, for eg Christian (or Progressive) issues.

When to switch the divide.
The one time the divide must be bridged is just before declaration of war. That is when media is in the unique position of having a mandate to create unity in the broader population. Never do so during an election, rather just after. Now we are all "us" and in solidarity as the nation. The nation we are to attack is now to become "them". Every exploited military nation must have an enemy. Having enemies is what ultimately unites us (against the enemy). It creates unity in the population during war, and spoils for the rulers. The only cost is the blood of peasants. From the elites perspective we are just peasants so all that needs be done is to enshrine dying for the cause is the ultimate honor. "He died for his country". Simelarly enshrine not fighting for your country the ultimate disgrace. Make this the core national value and entrench it via your controlled institutions and you straightaway have absolute control.The capture of the Western State and education curriculum was achieved as detailed here:
