IQ57, it is easy to see how humans control other humans and you, if you allow it. There is an old saying that "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Most humans are not corrupt and evil on their own. But, when they gain power, watch out. Numerous studies and experiments have been done on this. The one in power in any relationship is of course the one in control. The ones in power in the United States are those who were just like you and me before they gained that power. Like any tribe, the person(s) in power MUST make people follow and believe them.
This is precisely why Pelosi, one of the evilest and most powerful people in government conducted the 1-6 hearings. She knew damned well that there was no attempted coup or insurrection. But, what would be the best way to convince her tribal members that there was and win an election? Of course, the number one method of control is fear. That was what the hearing was for. It was for her tribe to be made fearful of the other tribe. She gets the tribal leaders in Senate and Congress to agree to the scheme. To make it seem more serious she was able to get tribal members from the other side to join in. This was to show everyone she had the power and that she can wield it.
Watch in every instance of how the powerful use fear to get their tribe solidified and riled up. Without fear, they really cannot control the tribe. I mean, how could you get a tribe riled up, angry, and ready to fight the other tribe if you didn't make them angry and hate the other tribe and put them in fear that their tribe would die if they didn't believe you?
