Chapter III

The Well Known Strategy of Divide and Conquer the Trend

After WW II the capitalists that had fled to the USA were afraid of losing their wealth. So they began to give the US society a large middle class after the war. This group of people we now know as the baby boomers. But at the same time they began to plant the seeds to undo this historical anomaly. Yes a historical anomaly because at no point in world history has there ever been as large a population that has had this quality in standard of living. The rest of the world now and in the past has the majority of its population living with much lower standards of living or in poverty.

The seeds that were planted to  undo the middle class family began during the 1950s after the war when the nuclear family, low interest rate loans, single family homes and nice neighborhoods were promoted. These were the first steps by the “old school capitalists” to  undo what they had done out of fear. Later as “inflation” started to increase the one worker household changed into a two person household having to work to make ends meet. The kids were finally sent to be raised in daycares. During this time they capitalized on the efforts of the Women’s Suffrage movement to help push gender equity to a different objective, because it served their purpose to keep families from raising their children. As the years passed by, psychology was then influenced to develop diagnostic categories that allowed for the administration of prescription drugs to young people - Ritalin for example. This happened the same time as the US had health care management problems with HMOs.

When the extended family is intact they can pass down to family members how to handle various types of child development issues. But instead of the extended family providing support to the family, they were replaced with social services like foster care, social workers and psychiatric treatment to name a few. But what the real intent was to cause more damage to the family as part of the long term plan to destroy the family. Because there is money involved people are happy to fill these jobs for a good pay check and do not pursue the profession as a means to an end to help people and families. There were, is and always will be great examples of where it did work because of the special families or people who did their jobs – the success stories. However, more times than not this was the propaganda to keep the programs in place to keep destroying the family. Ask anyone today that is willing to be honest about what they think about the courts, social services and child protection and how they have contributed to the family. You will find the most preponderant response as being that these institutions have been contributing to the destruction of the families over the last 20 to 25 years and they continue to do so today.

Approximately at the same time that psychology began to provide diagnostic categories to children that suggested prescription drug remedies by pharmaceuticals, HMOs were at the beginning of a new era where they could not meet all the medical needs of the patients. HMOs began to provide fewer and fewer services as the years passed by, but yet expected consumers to pay higher costs for service. From the doctors’ perspective, doctors could not provide services as they had diagnosed their patients. For them as time went on, it too was worse and worse and many doctors threw up their hands, because they could not treat their patients. Today doctors are given a commission to give pharmaceutical prescription drugs to patients. A similar trend has occurred for our armed forces service personal and our retired military personnel. So this is not just a private sector problem.

During this same time in history many thought that there was a shift in the courts philosophy to favor the woman in divorce and in custody cases. But as time has passed and there are more than 20+ years to reflect upon, it was not a shift in the courts philosophy. But instead, it was more pressure put on the family to continue the destruction of and the decline of the family. The family is the foundation of a nation and when you destroy a family you can destroy the nation. This destruction of the family through the courts starts at the top - be it state, federal or local levels to have politics influence judges in anyway that they can to accomplish the end objective of destroying the family. Not only is it through indirect and direct means of influencing the courts philosophy, it also happens through political appointments and through supporting certain judges who are elected. Even asking attorneys these days, you will find many in family court who feel that they need to go along with the “program” (what the judge has to say) otherwise they get blackballed and could lose their livelihood. This is not an isolated feeling, but a pervasive feeling that exists throughout the country. Just like the influence of the HMO that affects health care coverage. It has happened to our court system where lawyers know what is going on, but cannot do their job and only go through the motions for the money. In other words, the majority of doctors, lawyers, social services workers, government workers, etc. are working for the money and not for the job. Because of their financial needs they are addicted to money just like many other families in the US.

If we go back before 1950 we can see that the US was making positive steps for improvement in equality for all, especially for those who were the most disenfranchised in society. This equality was not there for all; however, there was a trend of improvement in rights for, and treatment of, women, Native Americans, blacks and other ethnic groups. But at the same time there were programs put in place to continue the cycle of poverty. The welfare programs were not even established for the recipients, but as a means of a tax transfer payment back to the wealthy. The welfare recipient wore the stigma as the program enabled them to be dependent and not work. This is the exact same problem that existed in socialist and communist countries at the same time. Similarly around the world countries are moving away from welfare systems to back to work programs. Thus the cycle of poverty meets the old school capitalists’ objective that keeps people oppressed. With the abyss of poverty brings with it drug abuse, addiction with alcohol and dysfunctional social relationships that all contribute to the cycle of poverty.

There are other trends that exist as it relates to drug and alcohol use and how youth are consuming more illegal drugs and alcohol and at an earlier age. But when we go back to WW II and understand that it was the CIA, from the United States, that went into Mexico and Latin America to start drug growing programs with these countries. After the war, the drug growing programs were discontinued. However, after training so many people and after the “US soldiers” returned to buy the drugs, the drug trade began. However, the CIA drug growing policy was not established for the war, but for after the war. It had two purposes. One was to destabilize the foreign countries as their neighbors. The other was to slowly use the drugs that flowed into the US as another front to undermine the structure of the family and to create generations that would be susceptible to the influences of drug use. Be it legal or illegal drug consumption, drugs have always been consumed throughout history. However, the 1960s were the first years of a large influx of drugs as a result of the CIA’s policies from WW II in Mexico and Latin America.

All of this culminates into conquer without a war. It has been easy for the “old school capitalist” to divide our societies and other societies by having one group argue with another group about everything from immigration, to racism, to gay rights, to the religious rights views, to the war in Iraq, to abortion rights, to Democrats vs. Republicans, etc. The list goes on and on - and while they have everyone fighting against one another, they created an environment where at the same time everyone is overworked; and worried and stressed out about their bills and the kids’ college. These “old school capitalist” keep busy working to accomplish goals to bring things back to the way things were (the status quo) when capitalism mistreated humanity, while the rest of the world is arguing over the issues of the day.

The trends still continue as time moves forward the effects of debilitating drugs like crystal methamphetamine, crack and the new forms of heroine are being promoted to the younger generations. All of this is leading to a repeat in history. Just remember what happened to the Indians after Columbus landed on the Americas. They were eventually pushed aside and systematically destroyed. Today they are a culture struggling with a great deal of problems.
