“Divide and Rule” is an age old tactic used by our Overlords to control the populace of countries across the planet.
It’s been a very effective tactic throughout the ages which is why they have used it time and time again and why they are still using it.
Numerous examples of the “Divide and Rule” tactic exist. I will briefly mention just one by way of illustration.
The Republic of Ireland & Northern Ireland
For those of you who don’t know, prior to 1921, the island of Ireland was one single country. It was partioned in 1921, becoming The Republic of Ireland, aka the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is a devolved nation, comprising of six counties in the north-eastern region of the island under British rule.
The majority of Northern Ireland’s population are known as Unionists because they wanted to maintain union with Britain. Opposing them, in the other camp, are the Republicans who wanted to unite Ireland and become part of The Republic of Ireland.
Generally speaking, the Unionists are Protestant and the Republicans are Catholics.
So we have …
Unionists v Republicans
Protestants v Catholics
These are the main dividing lines in Northern Ireland.
Ever since partition, the British have fermented division in Northern Ireland for their own nefarious ends.
I should also say the British establishment have been involving themselves in Irish affairs since the 1600s.
I recognise the fact that, in many respects, I’m very fortunate to have been born British, but I’m not proud of our Imperial past. And the Irish situation is one thing that makes me utterly ashamed to be British.
That said, I am not part of the British establishment. And I’m not responsible for the sins of my forefathers.
This is a very brief overview of the situation, but it should be sufficient for purposes of illustration.
Anyway, moving on …
A more contemporary example of the “Divide and Rule” tactic is “Identity Politics”
White v Black
Male v Female
Straight v Gay (LBGTQ etc)
