Political games

 

Yes, in politics there is no moral or ethical high ground and even legal and constitutional matters can be managed when in power.

 

1.Politic is  an open story but woven around certain principles that ensure power and victory at any cost or at all costs.

 

2.The principle of flexibility to accommodate, euphemism for expediency and opportunism.

 

3. It is open ended enough to accommodate anything and anyone as well as get rid of anyone or anything. 

 

4.It is a story where justification will masquerade as reasons. 

 

5. Till the heroes come to power no one is indispensable and that's why they spend a few crores to go and have a lunch with a poor person insides his/ her hut; visit religious heads and prostrate at the feet of priests; do photo ups with film stars and sports stars, in short anything or anyone they perceive will have mass appeal emotionally and make the public numb to any logical thinking. 

 

6. However, once they are in power and position anyone and everyone is dispensable, because they are too busy to be available and accessible to anyone. 

​​

7. Human gullibility and tendency to outsource most of its activities in the name and form of comfort was, has been and is being exploited through command-and-control mechanism by different institutions at different points of evolution of human history.

 

8.  First, the religions through its heroes, divine beings, myths and claims of epics did these. 

9.  After that, the empires did these.

10.Then, the politicians do them.

11.Finally, a combo of politics, lobbies, mafias, big corporates with global presence along with highly impactful technology driven access and analysis to information with marketing and publicity have captured this ‘command-and-control mechanism’ in the form of governments. [Bold lettered words in points 8,9,10 and 11-grammatical order of words of sequence to be used].

 As Stephen C. Meyer writes, 

" It is not correct to say that we do not know how specified complexity or information content arises. We know from experience that conscious intelligent agents can and do create specified information-rich sequences and systems. Furthermore, experience teaches that whenever large amounts of specified complexity or information content are present in an artifact or entity whose causal story is known, invariably creative intelligence -- design -- has played a causal role in the origin of that entity".


Brain washing and propaganda are as old as human vulnerabilities and gullibility.

I am extremely happy to see this video as I have always been against overvaluing any person or product without much of utility, ability, disproportionate trade off , not so much of aesthetic value, but has somehow intruded into the scheme of human activities because of its ornamentation value without much of intrinsic value [after all a carbon crystal structure]





This is the case with many human belief systems. The vulnerability and gullibility of human beings have been effectively exploited through many brainwashing techniques and propaganda mechanisms.

12. Sequence is important, politicians are master strategists at managing and manipulating sequences and they are aware of and prepared to face any consequence.

 

13. Present day politics requires both grasping the ‘information-rich and data filled sequences and systems’ and play the game accordingly. In any game victory is important, no one plays to lose any game. As technologies progress further monitoring, surveillances will also become part of this game.

 

14. The vulnerabilities and gullibility of human beings have been effectively exploited through many brainwashing techniques and propaganda mechanisms.

 

15. Well nuanced narratives with catchy slogans and snatchy communications are designed and delivered as effective tools.

 

16. These narratives are further spiced by appealing, titillating, tempting presentations and endorsed by personalities who are beautiful, rich, successful, popular, and powerful.

 

17. There is a well designed and developed subject called psychopolitics, by no means confined to politics but it spills into all domains, it has existed much before politics as a recognized subject emerged. 

 

18. In fact, every human activity that embarked on the mission of gathering and bringing together multitude of individuals under a specific classification or category through labels, brands, appealing slogans , symbols, heroic deeds , inducing with reward and punishment etc and many have been mastering this subject of creating mass opinion moulding activities through various means. Politics, commerce, and media have made this into a full-fledged business and industry. 

 

19. What is Psychopolitics?

 

I keep repeating the word ‘ the next’ just to reiterate and maintain scrupulously the order and sequence.

 

Psychopolitics, is the art and science of asserting and maintaining dominion over the thoughts and loyalties of individuals, officers, and masses and the effecting of the conquest of all others through "mental/psychological healing."

 

20. The subject of Psychopolitics breaks down into several categories, each a natural and logical progression from the last. Its first subject is the constitution and anatomy of man, himself, as a political organism.

 

21. The next is an examination of man as an economic organism, as this might be controlled by his desires.

The next is classification of State goals or religious goals for the individual and masses. 

The next is an examination of loyalties. 

The next is the general subject of obedience. 

The next is the anatomy of the stimulus-response mechanisms of man. 

The next is the subject of shock and endurance. 

The next is categories of experience. 

The next is the catalysing and aligning of experience. 

The next is the use of derogatory labels, pressures, collective boycotting, and tortures, terrorism either promoted through religious or political or economic identity or ideology and so on. All in very simple terms manifestations of intolerance whatever be the name we may give to them. 

The next is the use of implantation. 

The next is the general application of Psychopolitics by spreading its octopus-like tentacles. 

The next is the organization and use of counter-Psychopolitics. 

The next is the use of Psychopolitics in the conquest of unwilling and non-co- operating inferior folks. 

The next is psychopolitical organizations everywhere with some willing local participants who can operate with hidden agenda.

The next is the creation of slave philosophy in a hostile territory making you slaves not necessarily always physically but economically, psychologically, and socially.

The next is countering anti-psychopolitical activities and the final one, the destiny of psychopolitical rule in a so-called scientific age. 

 

To this might be added many subcategories, such as the nullification of individual rights and many other better options etc.

 

22. Psychopolitics is more effective particularly when used in a nation decayed by pseudo-intellectualism in academics, national betrayal in politics, and corruption in economic activities, cultural degradation in social life etc and in this environment exploitation of the masses by using psycho political actions is very easy and effective. 

 

23. It starts as brainwashing and ends up subverting a whole lot of people.

 

24.Mainstream Media [MSM] plays a huge role here.

 

25. Peter Sedgwick's Psychopolitics explains in detail the process.
