LAW 31 CONTROL THE OPTIONS: GET OTHERS TO PLAY WITH THE CARDS YOU DEAL 
Sometimes in countries such as our own that need reform and the persons that are able to actually do it, do not have the power to push things through and the more boldly a person might confront the "true" enemies of the state, the worse the reactions. And that works both ways. You know, when someone runs power through boldness all the time, it can create a resentment that will eventually come and "eat up your authority". In order to make people at times think that things would be worse without you, you sometimes may need to withdrawal or disappear. When you withdrawal or disappear and allow things to fall apart without you, it makes it seem as though you are the one who kept it together. So now you in turn are forcing the individual to decide which of the lesser evils will they deal with. When they in turn decide that they would rather deal with you, you are now in a situation to dictate, because they now have given you the power to do the things you do because the alternative was just too unpleasant for them. "You forced their hand, indirectly." Because remember, it's all about choices. The choices a person makes. Sometimes you just have to let them choice. And ride with whatever the choice is. If you lay your cards right, the person choose to walk right into your trap.


Make things a prospective, a possibility and never definite and they will keep coming for just the chance. Example. Sometimes when a person paid for something they think they own them. A person buying another person a lavish engagement ring. (Why would you except it, unless you accepted the terms.) A person buying a house ( How can you just take my house and it's paid for) A person buying a kidney (I want my money back, the procedure failed) When you use prospectives, possibilities, choice chances, give a person options, and let them exhibit freedoms, they want to take that chance, the what to believe the game is fare, they do not want to believe that they are being manipulated or deceived. In return for you, they do not realize that by you "allowing them a small amount of free will, they in turn are now more subject to your own will.
There are many ways to manipulate a person into making their own choice of selecting the options that you have presented and they are as follows:
- Propose 3 to 5 options making yours to be the wisest, safest, most practical or the best solution.
- For people who like to do the opposite of what is suggested, just cosign the opposite of what you want to do and they in turn will select exactly what you want them to do.
- Just force the hand. When a person is being forced and their cornered they know when there is nothing that they can do.
- Create an increasing value. Make it where every moment they waste the cost goes up. The price they pay will be higher so they are better off taking it now. Why pay $25 for something that was offered at $15 when they had to or wanted to buy it anyway.
- If you yourself or your intend person is weak at times you will need to work of their emotions to invoke more aggressiveness. Fear and terror often propels one into action just like when you back a rat into a corner.
- Create a co-defendant. If you a create "a bond of blood, guilt or crime" in theory (which doesn't really work now in light of all the snitching that is going on) but in theory the person being involved implicating you is also telling on themselves. Remember now a days that is no guarantee that you can "buy a bitch silence".
- Surround your target. Don't give them the opportunity to think, prepare or escape. They will make a mistake and "dig their own grave"
You must be prepared. You must be prepared. You must understand that there will be times that you must hurt somebody in order for you to make others understand the punishment, possible counterattack and expected revenge. You will not need to do this however, if you play the mental and emotional game correctly. If you play the mental and emotional game correctly, they will feel as though they have become agents of their own misfortune, and will submit quietly. Less work for you.
"Controlling the options has one main purpose. To disguise yourself as the agent of power and punishment. The tactic works best, then for those whose power is fragile, and who cannot operate too openly without incurring suspicion, resentment, and anger. Even as a general rule, however, it is rarely wise to be seen as exerting power directly and forcefully, no matter how secure or strong your are. It is usually more elegant and more effective to give people the illusion of choice.
Remember sometimes by limiting someone else's options can also limit your own.
Remember that sometimes when you get so into watching your rivals and how they operate, gather information and plan you lose control over analyzing your opponents movements and strategies.
"The wounds and every other evil that men inflict upon themselves spontaneously, and of their own choice, are in the long run less painful than those inflicted by others. (Niccolo Machiavelli, 1469-1527)
