DEFINITION: Machiavellianism:
"The theory and practice of power politics elaborated from
Machiavelli's The Prince: envisaging (1) seizure, maintenance, and extension
of absolute power by the nicely graduated use of guile, fraud, force, and
terror; (2) control by the ruler of all avenues of communication, thus
facilitating the deliberate molding of public opinion; (3) the employment for
surveillance and terrorist activities of subordinates who can be disowned and
liquidated by the ruler, who thus escapes the blame for their
atrocities."
Nicoli Machiavelli lived in Florence, Italy, during the Renaissance of
the early 1500's. Living in a tumultuous time, he thought that if one
person,
namely Lorenzo de' Medici, could be the absolute
"A wise prince
will seek means by which his subjects will always and in every Simply put, if a prince conquered a city, the people would hate him. But if the prince secretly hired terrorists to create an insurrection, then marched into the city to put down the insurrection, the people would praise him as a hero. Either way he increased his domain over the city, but it would be better for him if the citizens loved him rather than hated him for doing it. Contrast that with Jeffersonian Democracy that champions public enlightenment for public self-government:
"We have the greatest opportunity the world has ever seen, as
long as we remain honest
Compare that to modern history: Consider how President Bush went from the lowest rating in the polls of any modern President, with the stock market tanking before 9/11, to the highest rating of any President... after 9/11. Consider how the Bush Family is making a fortune on both the military-industrial stocks (Carlyle Group) and the huge Middle East oil projects they have vested interests in. And consider how the source of the considerable wealth of the Bush Family was from direct complicity with major banking and corporate interests behind the rise and reign of the Third Reich. Grandpappy Prescott Bush barely evaded criminal prosecution under War Crimes legislation. His Rockefeller collaborators got him off. Of course, the corporatocracy winners of WWII have rewritten history to somehow omit this part of it. Many people don't even know that the U.S. 'Federal Reserve Bank' was created by these banksters; it's not 'federal', and it has no 'reserves'. It just lets the US government borrow money at interest that the public pays via taxes. That systems has always been bankrupt of Constitutional principles. It has created a super-wealthy 1% and increasing austerity for the 99%. The founders warned us, reality has awakened us, and a more just system will emerge. ~CR
George Washington referred to this practice in
his Farewell Address, 1796:
|
cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for the themselves the reins of government;... This leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an Individual... [who] turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.... Ill founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. - It opens the doors to foreign influence and corruption." Referring to Washington, President Andrew Jackson gave a similar warning in his Farewell Address, 1837: warning us of the evil to come.... It is well known that there have always been those amongst us who wish to enlarge the powers of the General Government... to overstep the boundaries marked out for it by the Constitution.... Government would have passed from the hands of the many to the hands of the few, and this organized money power from its secret conclave would have dictated the choice of your highest officers and compelled you to make peace or war, as best suited their own wishes.... It is from within, among yourselves - from cupidity, from corruption, from disappointed ambition and inordinate thirst for power - that factions will be formed and liberty endangered. It is against such designs, whatever disguise the actors may assume, that you have especially to guard yourselves." President William Henry Harrison admonished in his Inaugural Address, 1841: The Executive department has become dangerous.... As long as the love of power is a dominant passion of the human bosom... so long will the liberties of a people depend on their constant attention.... The danger to all well-established free governments arises from the unwillingness of the people to believe in the existence... of designing men.... History, ancient and modern, is full of such examples. Caesar became the master of the Roman people and the senate under the pretense of supporting the democratic claims...; Cromwell, in the character of the protector of the liberties of the people, became the dictator of England, and Bolivar possessed himself of unlimited power with the title of his country's liberator.... The tendencies of all such governments in their decline is to monarchy... and, like the false Christs whose coming was foretold by the Savior, seeks to, and were it possible would, impose upon the true and most faithful disciples of liberty. It is in periods like this that it behooves the people to be most watchful of those to whom they have intrusted power." The Constitution states in Section 8 that
"Congress shall have the power... to
declare War," Yet
it seems suspect that so soon after Congress impeached President Clinton for
lying, he took unto himself the power to order acts of war without consulting
them. His reason for doing so was that there was no time, yet he had
time to consult with UN and NATO leaders!
With this in mind, if you're watching the shrill
domestic terror alarms in the News, you
can't help but wonder...
"The 9-11 Commissioners and Zelikow had deep conflicts of interest and many reasons to cover up the truth about Sept. 11. They are now engaged in a public relations effort to sell the official narrative and the war on terrorism. Both the official inquiry and the Commissions parameters were to support the official story and justify the creation of Homeland Security Department. / Homeland Security in German is geheimstadt politza, which during World War II was abbreviated to Gestapo. Do Americans really believe a Gestapo will make us safer?" ~ http://www.buzzflash.com/editorial/04/10/edi04079.html "Underlying 'America's New War' is international 'population planning.' According to Rockefeller-directed population planners, additional depopulation must occur in advance of the New World Order. In the United States, according to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) March/April 1996, Foreign Affairs journal, plans to depopulate America by half to achieve a U.S. population in the range of 125 to 150 million, or about its size in the 1940s, are underway." ~ Dr. Leonard Horowitz, D.M.D, M.A., M.P.H., Health Researcher, Best Selling Author and Leading Health Rights Activist ~~~~~~~~~ THE PROCESS OF CREATING AND MANAGING CRISIS, TERROR, WAR AND TYRANNY Just remember this: The technique of "world conquest" is to first create a
"problem", then, create "panic" in the minds of the people. And, then,
offer the "solution" to the "problem" that created the "panic" among the
people! ~~~~~~~~~

safest course is to do nothing against one's conscience.
"Our
government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear-kept us in a continuous
stampede of patriotic fervor-with the cry of grave national emergency.
Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign
power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it

"Of all the
enemies to public liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because
it comprises and develops the germ of every other...
"If you
love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better than
the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your
counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your
chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our
countrymen."
