The Hegelian Principle

Revolutionaries in government have created economic chaos, shortages in food and fuel, confiscatory
taxation, a crisis in education, the threat of war, and other diversions to condition Americans for "The New
World Order."
The technique is as old as politics itself. It is the Hegelian principle of bringing about change in a three-step
process: Thesis, Antithesis and Synthesis.
The first step (thesis) is to create a problem.
The second step (antithesis) is to generate opposition to the problem (fear, panic, hysteria).
The third step (synthesis) is to offer the solution to the problem created in step one - change which would
have been impossible to impose on the people without the proper psychological conditioning achieved in
stages one and two.
Applying the Hegelian principle, and irresistible financial influence, concealed mattoids seek to dismantle
social and political structures by which free men govern themselves -ancient landmarks erected at great cost
in blood and treasure.
Their objective is to emasculate sovereign states, merge nations under universal government, centralize
economic powers, and control the world's people and resources.

There are five kinds of spies to be used: native spy, inside spy, converted spy, expendable spy and surviving
spy.
When you use the five kinds of secret agents simultaneously, the enemy cannot know the principle of their
operation. It is divinely intricate and becomes the greatest magic weapon for the sovereign to defeat the
enemy.

Native or local spies are those employed from among the enemy's villagers.
Inside spies are those employed from among the enemy's officials.
Converted spies are those employed from among the enemy spies.
Expendable spies are our own secret agents, who are deliberately giving some false information of ours to
report to the enemy. Frequently they would be caught and put to death.
Surviving spies are those who come and go between the enemy and us, and return safely with the enemy's
information.

Repetitions of Data in a piece of Writing (Religion & Lust by James Weir in Preface to 2nd ed.)
The author asks the indulgence of the reader for certain repetitions in the text. These have not been
occasioned by any lack of data, but occur simply because he believes that an argument is rendered stronger
and more convincing by the frequent use of the same data whenever and wherever it is possible to use them.
When this plan is followed, the reader, so the author believes, becomes familiar with the author's line of
thought, and is, consequently, better able to comprehend and appreciate his meaning.

T'HE liberal arts of grammar, rhetoric, and logic are all concerned with language. Each of these disciplines
establishes its own rules for the use of language, each by reference to a special standard of excellence or
correctness which measures language as an instrument of thought or communication. Together these three
arts regulate discourse as a whole. Their relation to one another represents the relation of the various aspects
of discourse the emotional, the social, and the intellectual.

The more help a potential ally needs, the less valuable that ally is likely to be. Strong, secure, competent and
efficient states make the best allies because they usually have capabilities that are of considerable value to
their partners. By contrast, weak, isolated, corrupt, unpopular and feckless governments often find
themselves in big trouble and are therefore desperate for help but those same qualities make them of little
strategic value to anyone who is unlucky or unwise enough to take them under their wing (eg. Afghanistans
Hamid Karzai)
