Voltaire once wrote “It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.”
Stalin described his converts as “useful idiots.”
The “useful idiots” have destroyed every nation in which they have seized power and control.
It is presently happening at an alarming rate in the United States of America.
If people can read this and still say everything is just fine, they are useful idiots.
There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state.
The first is the most important.
1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people
2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
6) Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
8) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

Always remember the first rule of power tactics: Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
The second rule is: Never go outside the experience of your people. When an action is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear, and retreat.
The third rule is: Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.
The fourth rule is: Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity. The fourth rule carries within it..
the fifth rule: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.
The sixth rule is: A good tactic is one that your people enjoy. If your people are not having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.
The seventh rule: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time, after which it becomes a ritualistic commitment, like going to church on Sunday mornings.
The eighth rule: Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.
The ninth rule: The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
The tenth rule: The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
The eleventh rule is: If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative.
The twelfth rule: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. You cannot risk being trapped by the enemy in his sudden agreement with your demand and saying “You’re right — we don’t know what to do about this issue. Now you tell us.”
The thirteenth rule: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
Humans are part of nature and as such, we can not act away from it. Not when we think we do. So it is impossible for an elite to govern the large crowds without sooner or later ending them. A human can not manage or direct the whole of society towards a path as if it were a god, since it is a mere mortal.
We do overthink things to the point of stupidity. And we are mortal, not "all-knowing" but you make it sound like mankind is no different than a dog. Call it evolution, call it what you will. we have always done things that were once considered impossible. Because the human spirit does not believe in impossible. We are dreamers and we are doers. We only become skeptics and cowards when the masses are told over and over that something is impossible by the people pulling strings. Those people are not looking out for your welfare.
It was unfortunate that we were not dreamers and doers. That's why I say. I do not say that humans are like dogs, but rather that no one can handle us in such a way without our realizing it. If they could do that, then we would be dogs.
