Controlling Masses of People Part 2

This is another post dealing with the philosophies espoused by Willie Lynch, a man known for his ideas on controlling slaves and the origin of the word “lynching”.  There is a page with much of his material here.

The last post dealt with the problem of division and diversity.  By focusing on the differences between people (and 300 years ago, slaves) you can keep them distrustful of each other and that much easier to control and handle.

This post deals with the reversal of male and female roles.  Willie Lynch taught that to control the slave population for generations, you have to take a slave woman with a child and then terrorize the men in front of them to teach the woman that there is no effective male influence in her life and the child that if you are rebellious you will be brutalized mercilessly.

The example Willie Lynch suggests is to punish the most rebellious male slave in front of the women, children, and other male slaves.  Take the most rebellious one, tar & feather him before setting him on fire and pulling him apart with horses tied to his legs.  Then take a bull whip and beat the rest of the adult males just short of death.  The point of this gruesome showing of force is to destroy the male image in front of the women and children so as to put the woman into a shocked stupor where she will become independent of the protective males in her life and raise her sons to be subservient and her girls to be more independent.  By doing this, the men will hide behind the women and the women will never rise up in violent rebellion.

How does this compare to today’s society?  It is happening in a much softer and subtle fashion.  Three times in the last hundred years thousands of men were sent off to war and women had to take complete charge of the home front in the absense of their men.  The women’s movement in the 1960’s has made women more independent and more necessary in the work force.  With this massive influx of labor and disposable income, inflation has taken control to the point that making it in today’s world on one income can be a very difficult thing to do.  

With the most recent economic downturn in the United States, most of the jobs lost have been manufacturing jobs held by men, and in other industries dominated by men putting in place for the first time in modern history a situation where more women are workign outside of the home than men.  This is a role reversal for sure.

As this continues, there will be less of a love of liberty and a softening of the masses of men allowing the existing order to continue unabated and the loss of our freedoms unmourned.

Controlling Masses of People

There is a hidden group of people continually seeking to keep the masses of population in servitude.  Really, there is.  It seems that the only time the Republicans and Democrats agree on anything is how to take more power from the people and to control us.  The easiest and best way for them to control us is if we control ourselves first.  It is by making us distrustful of each other.  

There is an interesting dynamic in the United States and similar “modern” cultures today.  One major group is preaching and teaching Unity while many of the other voices in government, media, and the public at large are preaching and teaching diversity and focusing on what makes us different.  What is lost in the shuffle is how much freedom we are losing year after year.

The Government of the United States ownes about 60 percent of all mortgages in the United States and is rapidly becoming a major shareholder in Chrysler, General Motors and several banking and financial institutions.  With ownership comes control.  The congress seems mostly compliant with the unreasonable demands of a very vigorous President who is bent on taking more and more control of every aspect of our lives.  

To borrow a phrase from Neal Boortz, the “Imperial Federal Government” keeps growing and taking more and more of our freedoms.

I was thinking of a speech given by Willie Lynch in 1712 about how to control slaves.   The speech itself is reproduced here in its entirety from this site:

Greetings,

Gentlemen. I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First, I shall thank you, the gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies, where I have experimented with some of the newest, and still the oldest, methods for control of slaves. Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious King, whose version of the Bible we cherish, I saw enough to know that your problem is not unique. While Rome used cords of wood as crosses for standing human bodies along its highways in great numbers, you are here using the tree and the rope on occasions. I caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree, a couple miles back. You are not only losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed. Gentlemen, you know what your problems are; I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems, I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them. In my bag here, I HAVE A FOOL PROOF METHOD FOR CONTROLLING YOUR BLACK SLAVES. I guarantee every one of you that, if installed correctly,IT WILL CONTROL THE SLAVES FOR AT LEAST 300 HUNDREDS YEARS. My method is simple. Any member of your family or your overseer can use it. I HAVE OUTLINED A NUMBER OF DIFFERENCES AMONG THE SLAVES; AND I TAKE THESE DIFFERENCES AND MAKE THEM BIGGER. I USE FEAR, DISTRUST AND ENVY FOR CONTROL PURPOSES. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies and it will work throughout the South. Take this simple little list of differences and think about them. On top of my list is “AGE,” but it’s there only because it starts with an “a.” The second is “COLOR” or shade. There is INTELLIGENCE, SIZE, SEX, SIZES OF PLANTATIONS, STATUS on plantations, ATTITUDE of owners, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, East, West, North, South, have fine hair, course hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of action, but before that, I shall assure you that DISTRUST IS STRONGER THAN TRUST AND ENVY STRONGER THAN ADULATION, RESPECT OR ADMIRATION. The Black slaves after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and will become self-refueling and self-generating for HUNDREDS of years, maybe THOUSANDS. Don’t forget, you must pitch the OLD black male vs. the YOUNG black male, and the YOUNG black male against the OLD black male. You must use the DARK skin slaves vs. the LIGHT skin slaves, and the LIGHT skin slaves vs. the DARK skin slaves. You must use the FEMALE vs. the MALE, and the MALE vs. the FEMALE. You must also have white servants and overseers [who] distrust all Blacks. But it is NECESSARY THAT YOUR SLAVES TRUST AND DEPEND ON US. THEY MUST LOVE, RESPECT AND TRUST ONLY US. Gentlemen, these kits are your keys to control. Use them. Have your wives and children use them, never miss an opportunity. IF USED INTENSELY FOR ONE YEAR, THE SLAVES THEMSELVES WILL REMAIN PERPETUALLY DISTRUSTFUL. Thank you gentlemen.

According to Willie Lynch, by focusing on the differences you can pit the groups against each other so that they will not trust each other and instead will strust the slave owner, or in our case the Imperial Federal Government.  There is much more to Willie Lynch’s perspective than this, but it was used en masse 300 years ago and the effects are still being felt today.  That is part of the problem that some minority populations are facing today because they were indoctrinated in general much more than other populations but through the media and political efforts we are being fed the same lines of garbage that will only serve to make us slaves.

We need to focus on unity instead of diversity.  If we are united, we can make the world a much better place.  Focus on what we have in common, not on what is different.

The institution of slavery was much more brutal and violent, from George Will’s article last week here is a description of how the government is working to enslave us by much more genteel means:

In “Democracy in America,” Alexis de Tocqueville anticipated people being governed by “an immense, tutelary power” determined to take “sole charge of assuring their enjoyment and of watching over their fate.” It would be a power “absolute, attentive to detail, regular, provident and gentle,” aiming for our happiness but wanting “to be the only agent and the sole arbiter of that happiness.” It would, Tocqueville said, provide people security, anticipate their needs, direct their industries and divide their inheritances. It would envelop society in “a network of petty regulations — complicated, minute and uniform.” But softly: “It does not break wills; it softens them, bends them, and directs them” until people resemble “a herd of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.”

This is wayyy too accurate for my tastes.  We need to stand up and be more independent of government.

B. Hussein Obama Wants A Nation of (Weak) Men, Not Laws

President Obama wants social justice instead of equal protection of the laws.  Social Justice is what was implemented under Communist Soviet Rule in Russia after the October Revolution of 1917 and the ensuing civil war between the Red and White armies.  The Red army won and the traditional protection of the laws was thrown out in favor of social justice.

President Obama is seeking a similar situation in the Bankruptcy Courts on multiple fronts.  (Hat Tip to Neal Boortz.)

First there was the effort to change the powers/jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy courts to allow them to rewrite mortgages for better terms for debtors.  Frankly, I can see that this would be a good idea and that perhaps mortgages should not be any different than any other debts people are facing right now, but I don’t see the justice or fairness in allowing this to happen after all of the mortgages have been written.  The original debts were entered into based on one understanding of debtor/creditor law and to change the rules after the contracts were entered into is fundamentally unfair.  If you were to pass the law and then only apply it to the new mortgages, fine.

Now President Obama is seeking to cheat secured creditors in the Chrysler Bankruptcy.  The President has already changed the terms of ownership of Chrysler so that approximately 90% of the company will be owned by the Government of the United States and the Unions.  Now in bankruptcy, the secured creditors are supposed to take a backseat to unsecured creditors when the unsecured creditors are union employees depending on pension benefits that Chrysler is now unable to pay.  Under the recognized bankruptcy laws if you are a secured creditor, you are supposed to have preferential treatment by the Bankruptcy Courts because your debt is tied to a tangible item, much like a home mortgage or car loan.  

Presidnet Obama is now trying to demagogue the secured creditors as the evil rich who don’t care about the poor working man.  The problem with this is that the bond holding creditors are likely to be companies who invested other people’s money which was supposed to be “secure” in the “bond market”.  If you are an investor who put your money in bonds, and some of those bonds were purchased from Chrysler as an investment vehicle, President Obama expects you to simply give your money to the more favored union members who are not able to collect their pensions because Chrysler is going bankrupt.  Note to President Obama, not all people who invest in bond markets are rich and in fact may be depending on the security of these bonds for their own retirement as well.  President Obama has decided that the retirement of union members is more important than the retirement of non-union members who may be using a 401(k) instead.

The solution of course is to enforce the laws as written.  The security of laws governing finance, contracts, secured transactions and debts, and an orderly court system provide the stability required to allow a free market to grow and prosper the people willing to work and create value for others.

President Obama has decided that it is more important for him to favor his politically powerful allies instead of allowing people to have the benefit of the laws we have been operating under for decades. 

President Obama wants a nation of weak men dependant on government largesse, not laws and free men.
