Having any one group in control of the government, such as the wealthy, the workers, the philosophers, the majority, the religious or the military will always encounter problems of domination.  Leaders in another area of life might be forced to follow goals unrelated to their area of expertise.

For instance, if a group of racist dominators control a government, then medical and educational experts will be forced to administer their services according to racist concerns.  If a group of economic dominators are in control, you might not get medical services unless you have the correct economic status. Dominators will always want their favorite value to rule everything within a war of all against all.

26: Military dominators in control

Military dictatorships are often found in communist, fascist and democratic forms of government. A military dictatorship is not organized to create health and peace within Earth's circle of life; it is organized to accomplish military goals of domination within a war of all against all.

Military dominators promote the notion that life is a war of all against all. Individuals are never given the opportunity to choose peace as a goal.  If individuals question or disrupt the goals of military domination, they will be vocally dismissed or quietly imprisoned as criminals, traitors and dissidents.

Students living in a military dictatorship will be taught that the only option in life is to fight for the home team within a war of all against all.  The education will be designed to create fear or ignorance of others. A specific group of students will be educated according to the needs of military domination while the rest of the students will be educated not to interfere with the goals of war.

Along with education, military dictatorships try to control all forms of media to influence the information and choices presented to individuals. Every piece of information will support the goals of military domination or will be unrelated as most of the information already is. Any information that challenges the goals of military domination will not be allowed to reach the people or will be presented as radical, traitorous or unimportant.

In order to make sure the government supports the goals of military domination, only military dominators and their supporters will be elected or appointed to the government. The military leaders create all the rules of the elections while controlling information. While some voters believe their needs are being considered, the military government only seeks to dominate within a war of all against all.

If individuals find themselves in a dire situation, it will be of no interest to the dominators unless it negatively affects the goals of military domination.

25: Economic dominators in control

Economic dominators want to establish a market dictatorship. Economic dominators support a war of all against all where economic status is the only measure of superiority. They want the entire society to be tied to market values with no regard for moral, environmental, or democratic values. Economic dominators do not believe in fair competition and legitimate markets; they believe in war.

Dominators will always ridicule the process and existence of government unless it is firmly in their hands. Economic dominators don't want democratic values getting in the way of their favored market values. If individuals are disgusted by politics and want nothing to do with the process of government, then dominators will have no competition in organizing the government according to their goals of domination. 

Only the supporters of market dictatorship are given access to the money and media coverage necessary to win an election. Only supporters of economic domination are allowed into the debate. Dominated elections always offer various dominator candidates to choose from. That way, both the majority and the minority are guaranteed to be economic dominators.  Individuals are only supposed to think within dominated left to right political spectrums. Appointments to government positions will not be based on the ability to serve the goals of peace, but on the ability to serve the goals of economic domination within a war of all against all.

24: Dominator control techniques are extensive

Dominators want everything to be based on their favorite value. If dominators use force, then choices are dictated with rigid control and violence.

If dominators exist within a non-violent environment, their goal is to influence the choices we make for their own benefit.

Dominators often lead non-violent societies into supporting means of war by having the most influence over decisions being made. There are many examples of military, religious, or market dictatorships having control over everything a society hears, sees and reads.

We can't choose peace with information that leads us only to support and maintain war. A monopoly of information has always been a base of totalitarianism and dictatorship.

Dominators know their leadership will be supported if their goals are the only goals available.  This has been done repeatedly throughout history by indoctrinating dominator goals, information and values into the daily lives of individuals. Everything possible will be done to maintain any type of environment, culture, tradition, belief or social structure that benefits dominators and the means of war. 

Dominators will make sure we are rewarded, desensitized or distracted while living according to the rules and priorities of war.  They will call us heroic, patriotic, successful, holy and intelligent along with any other term that makes us feel comfortable while serving the goals of war and domination.  Individuals are only asked to choose between being for the team, or against it.  We all want to support our team.

We are never led to question if we might be doing something wrong by exploiting our fellow human beings.  Most of us don't want to create an uncomfortable situation by questioning the decisions of our leaders. Dominators have led or tricked millions of individuals throughout history into thinking they are existing in peace while actually supporting and maintaining a brutal war of all against all.

Human beings have always had difficulty making individual decisions.  A scientific experiment was conducted where people were asked to send an electrical shock through another human being by pushing a button.  Every time the button was pushed, the amount of electricity passing through the other person would increase.  With each push of the button, the individual pushing the button could see and hear the increased pain and horror they were causing their fellow human being.

The results of the experiment are disturbing. Because someone else was asking them to push the button without appearing to question if it was right or wrong, more than two-thirds of the individuals continued to push the button when asked until deadly levels of electrical shock were reached.  Most of the test subjects didn't want to create an uncomfortable situation by questioning the choice and purpose of shocking another human being to death.

How is the choice between peace and war framed within a society that supports slavery?  Will individuals reject the concept of slavery?

Individuals often support enslavement because there is no choice to be made within the presented image of life.  By following the leadership of dominators, a war of all against all is the only option.  In war, people are labeled as enemies to fear or as inferior communities to be defeated, conquered, and burdensomely reformed.  

Occupation, enslavement, extermination, and forced conversion are presented as a means to a peaceful existence for the team.  You want to support your team don't you?

In war, dominating the community of life is presented as the only option. Because most people are led to support this view, or do not question it, dominators are allowed to enslave or destroy fellow members of the community of life with little resistance.  

If we were fascinated with our own superiority and wealth, would we take the time to think about what was happening? Would we fight against something taught to us by our leaders and accepted by our neighbors?

Dominated information conditions individuals to view slavery as a natural and normal aspect of existence.  It is explained and repeated that slavery must be accepted as a crucial part of life.  If people do not support the slave trade, they are ridiculed as fools.  Those who fight against slavery are labeled and dismissed as traitors and radicals.

Supporters of slavery are led down a particular course of existence by the information and rewards presented.  They accept an image of life that supports barbaric means of domination because no other image of life is presented.  They allow themselves to achieve their goals through slavery because everything appears normal, peaceful, justified, successful and necessary.

Images of life can be created and maintained to influence millions of people. We are never led to question the image of life we have.  We sub-consciously protect our image of life at all costs because we don't want to be confused, lost or alone.

Dominated images of life usually provide established excuses.  We are supposed to feel that we can't do anything about it.  We are supposed to view doubt, alternative choices and resistance as the ultimate evil.  Once we accept an image of life and stop questioning it, everything seems normal and justified.

A peaceful existence will not automatically be given to any of us.  In fact, dominators make every attempt to prohibit the means of peace.  Many of us have been led to believe that it is honorable and justified to conquer and control the community of life according to a false version of superiority.

Will we live according to the information and choices that have been presented to us?  There are many ways to support our teams.  We don't have to accept new information, but why not consider it?

We have reason for individual thought and leadership. We can live in peace.
