Divide and Conquer
7/12/10
In politics and sociology, divide and conquer (derived from Latin divide et impera) is also known as divide and rule and is a combination of:
Political, Military and Economic strategy of gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into chunks that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy.
In reality, it often refers to a strategy where small power groups are prevented from linking up and becoming more powerful, since it is difficult to break up existing power structures.
Case in point, the current Administration is publicly chastising many big business (you all know the names), while at the same time working with these big businesses (behind the scenes) to do everything possible to cripple small businesses.
This accomplishes three political ends for the Administration:

Case in point, the current Administration is publicly chastising many big business (you all know the names), while at the same time working with these big businesses (behind the scenes) to do everything possible to cripple small businesses.
This accomplishes three political ends for the Administration:
First, once the small business competition is squashed under the heal of the Federal Government aided by big business, the big businesses have the power (in the form of money) and the obligation to play payback to the government for their assistance (in the form of political contributions - continued power and influence).
Secondly, once the small businesses are financially and psychology drained of just about all of their resources, the economy will depend more on big business, which in turn depends on the government's oversight to keep big business in the driver's seat.
Third, once the backbone of the US economy is broken (not just cracked or fractured, as a crack or fracture can heal), the current Washington DC regime will hold more and more power over the people. Entrepreneurship is what made this country great - a free capitalistic economy and independent society.

Have no doubt about it, the current Administration's agenda is to transform this free Capitalistic economy and independent society into a fully dependent and controlled Socialistic society. In broader terms, they envision transforming the American Public from independent citizens to dependent subjects!
Another example of divide and conquer is the 6 month blanket moratorium on offshore drilling. One has to laugh at six months, after several months, the majority of productive rigs will have left the Gulf understandably looking for "greener pastures". You cannot blame them - business is business, as they say. These rigs will be gone for years and many will not return at all.
Once our domestic oil industry has been "cut off at the knees", foreign oil companies will flourish even more than they do now. This would accomplish making us more dependent (why, there's that word again), on foreign oil, while at the same time making those that invest in those foreign drilling companies very, very wealthy. Oh, almost forgot to mention, that George Soros owns 10,000,000 shares of Petrobras (a Brazilian offshore oil drilling company) and Obama just recently invested over $2,000,000,000 of our taxpayer dollars in same (see yesterday's 7/11/10 blog for details on this subject).
Side note: One might think that I'm a supply side fiscal conservative, and if so, one would be correct.
You're probably saying, yeah, but they won't be drilling as deep as BP (5,000 feet) because of the big concern on the Global Greenies' part that that would hurt the environment. Wrong! Petrobras will be drilling at 13,000 feet below the surface of the ocean - huh, now what's that all about, Mr. Gore & company?
Oh, and let's not forget the Supreme Court, which Obama's trying to also divide and rule, oh, did I say rule, I meant divide and conquer. He just pushed through an extremely inexperienced radical, we'll just call her Elena for now, in order to try to "even" the scales of Justice in his / the Administration radicals' favor. But they had a several day confirmation hearing or was it simply a dress rehearsal for a show we knew was going to play no matter what the hearing discovered.
Oh then there's that Donald Berwick, what a nice fella - he's having a love affair - all warm and fuzzy - with the UK's socialistic medical model - he wants to make the US just like them. On the downside, however, the UK's medical model is a proven failure and in complete shambles. I guess Obama and his Administration is just doing what they think is best for us poor, hapless souls here in the states. Yes, but the Republicans and surely some Democrats in Congress would never allow Berwick to be appointed to one of the most powerful positions in the free world, oh, but wait a second, sorry, Congress wasn't even consulted on this "minor" matter - they were on a Congressional recess, interesting.
Imagine if the Federal Government was to sue one of the states, that would really be another overt form of divide and conquer, but, no, that would never happen (sarcasm implied).
Next the DOI (Department of Injustice) would go and allow intimidation and life threats by racial hate groups like the New Black Panthers, but that would be alright, as long as the violence (both verbal and otherwise) is only directed at white people. Oh, wait, that is already happening now, what was I thinking?
So don't forget that phrase: Divide and Conquer, we'll be talking about it in more detail in future blogs.
We will not fall divided, because United We Stand!
