Law Preface

Civilized War

Have you ever experienced the feeling of power? Do you know what power is? Did you ever have power? Did you like it? Do you like haveing power over people and sequence of events? How do you feel without it? Helpless. Miserable. Do you be wanting more power when you see what accomplishing task under power brings? Every one wants power.

Everyone likes how it feels. Power gives an adrenalin rush. Power builds confidence. Power generates money. Power builds connections. However, now a days you can not appear power hungry. Sometimes you can not flaunt your power. Exercise the power. Manipulate the power. Trust power. Quest for power. On the chess board, the KING. Yet for the king to be the most powerful person on the board, he is actually the weakest. The king must be protected at all times. The king can only move one step at a time in any directions and the queen can move any and every direction in any amount of space. The pawn the weakest of all, can become anyone of all positions but the kings by simply just staying on its path. Continually pushing forward.

In the game of power, people will attempt to get in their good favor, and scheme are brought to life. Power moves can be violent, overt, and obvious, so people tend to work silently and secretly. People learn to perfect moving indirectly, tabbing an opponent in the back, with a smile on their face, whether it be through the art of seduction, charm, deception, subtle strategy, but always planning several moves ahead. The game of power is a never ending game that requires constant vigilance and tactical thinking, creating a civilized war.

On appearance everything must seem civilized, decent, democratic and fair. The search for power will stir up dark emotions such as greed, envy, lust, and hatred. To be successful in your quest for power, you must also learn to be humble. If a person does not realize what you have done, they will not resent nor resist you.

While playing the power game, beware of the following people:

Beware of the person who express their opinion loudly - its usually a diversion.

Beware of a person acting like they are weak - a true weak person does not advertise they are weak.

Beware of the person who wants equality for all - they distribute power how they feel they can distribute rewards how they choose.

Beware of the one who is perfectly honest and straightforward - they are out to offend, hurt, insult many people. It's an attempt to convince people that they are noble, good-hearted, and selfless, a form of persuasion, subtle form of coercion.

Beware of those who claim to be naive - that is to protect them from the accusation of wanting the power.

One must play the power game whether they want to or not because if you don't you will be viewed as powerless and will be attacked. The better at power you become, the stronger person you become. You will begin to learn how to make others feel better about themselves, and thus forcing them to grow dependent on your abilities, desires and presence.

Before you search for power there are certain skills you must have.

Ability to master your emotions. Emotions can cost you more than the temporary satisfaction you gained by expressing it. Remember, emotion can cloud reason, if you do not see the situation clearly you cannot prepare for response with a degree of control. Also, remember, anger is most destructive of all the responses because it clouds your vision. Friendliness is the best diversion because it has the ability to disarm your opponent.

Love and affection blinds self-serving interest. Love and anger is hard to hide or not to react to, but one must learn how to better express themselves and stay under control. Love and anger should never influence your plans. In other words, NO BED TALK

You must learn how to distance yourself from the present and think objectively based on the past and future. You must become two faced. Able to look in the future and back in the past.

You must be about to think of all the possible things that can go wrong. Don't worry about the good. Concern yourself with the bad. The more steps you plan ahead, the more powerful you become.

Always keep in mind that looking into the past, allows you to deal with hurt and prepare for possible grudge matches. Its an educational tool, that allows you to look at yourself, your friends, and actions. One must understand that power requires the ability to play with appearance. You learn to be deceptive. To succeed at deception you must take a distance approach to yourself, and be able to be different people within yourself at a moments notice while concealing your intentions.

To master your emotions patience is mandatory. Patience is one of the hardest virtues. Patience with try you as you try yourself and endure, so that you can divide and conquer. In the power game, you can not judge your opponent, you must judge the outcome of their actions because it is only natural for people to cover up their actions with a justification or more than likely an excuse.

Power is a game that you play with strategy, observe our opponents moves, know even if you do not execute the rules of the game and take nothing personal. You begin to become a master of power when power starts to come from what you do not do, and do not allow yourself to get dragged into. Learn to judge things by what they will cost you. The value is not in what is attained but what it cost you to get it. Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind on the trivial affairs or trivial affairs of others - it will cost you to much.

Power is a social game. Master it, develop the ability to study and understand people. Become a master a psychologist, recognize motivations and see through the smoke screen. Never discriminate who you study or trust. Never trust anyone completely and study everyone, friends and loved one included.

Power will cause your mind to become consumed with solving infinite problems

A prince who wants to keep his authority must learn how not to be good, and use that knowledge, or refrain from using it, as necessity requires (48 Laws)

Niccolo Machiavelli, 1469-1527

[TiCam]

The first person that came to my mind after reading this piece from Machavelli is Francois Duvalier. Duvalier fooled everybody when he became president. Everyone thought that he was a weak and shy man. Surprise, surprise, we learned later that he was a student and admirer of the great Machavelli! With iron feast he governed the country (Haiti) and control all political aspects of the country. He became the iron man of Haiti thinking that's the only way the country could be governed and advance in all aspects.

Il reviendra donc a l'histoire impartiale de le juger.

Your right. People may have made preconceived notions about him. Perhaps one of the errors of his ways was the fact that, strength in battle is always a boosted confidence dervived by the element of surprise, in saying that, it an erronous arrogance that possibly contributed to his demise.

What demise? Francois Duvalier never went to exile never ceased to be president, until he died and died as president of Haiti in his bed, in the White House.
