It is, at one level, profoundly true that the Global Establishment, the international power elite, operate on a basis of divide and rule - but the proper question concerns the aims of that rule.
But divide and rule? - yes. What this means in practice is that the same people support both sides, and demonise both sides - so that neither side can win, or lose; and conflict is permanent.
Think about Israel and Palestine - in mainstream politics half the people support Israel and believe that the Global Establishment support the Palestinians - the other half of mainstream politics believe the opposite. Both are correct. The Global Establishment support both sides, propagandise against both sides; fund journalists on both sides, organise riots on both sides. They fan hopes and fears, pride and resentment - on both sides, back and forth. Neither side has the upper hand, both sides are insecure; both sides believe they will eventually prevail - the crisis, hostilities continue, and continue...
Mainstream secular conspiracy-theorists correctly recognise the movement towards totalitarianism: world government, regional superstates, world banks, unified mass media, regional and multinational militaries, international police; a single linked-bureaucracy of governments, corporations, NGOs and so on...
Increased and micro-level surveillance and monitoring; ever more laws and regulations - many contradictory so everyone is always in breach of something; micro-level rules, regulations and protocols; sweeping and contradictory, and always changing social practices...
The system is against drugs, but drug usage is increased; this is a good thing, also a bad thing - it must be increased, it must be stopped. People are drugged into euphoria, and into misery. Life is extended by this, it is also being shortened by that. We want health care for everyone, everyone a patient - we also support cuts, restrictions, elimination...
We care about everyone as an individual - we care only about those who are useful - or those who are useless...
The System exists only for economic efficiency and to make profit - it is also the most wasteful and inefficient chaos imaginable. There is constantly shortage: money must be saved, cuts made - and there are new plans, funds, schemes, demands, subsidies...
Modern mainstream politics is also divide and rule; the classes, then races, then sexes were set against one another - then were subdivided by new races, sexual orientations and new sexes.
Everyone is a victim - everyone is an oppressor.
Both sides are supported, both sides are undermined; each side thinks the other side dominant, favoured - No end to it all, but more of the same.
So we are increasingly divided and we are increasingly ruled by an increasingly unitary system. But why? What is it all for? What's it aimed at?
Is there a kind of stable end-point being aimed at?
No - because the aim is not political, nor economic - it is not to make people happier, nor more miserable.
This is spiritual warfare - the strategy is not human but demonic.
The system is a system of damnation - a system designed to attain the very difficult objective of making numerous free individuals choose to refuse to repent and assert sin; to reject Heaven and embrace Hell.
The System is designed to persuade us to choose that we are Not free, to choose that Good is really evil and vice versa - that everything we know in our hearts is false; everything we find abhorrent is actually virtuous.
It is a big ask, a colossally difficult matter - for a relatively small number of demonic spirits to convince The World to embrace a state of permanent fear and resentment...
But - credit where due - the demons are doing an effective job of it; they are making great strides; they are winning the war.
Oh yes - things really are going their way, and the opposition shrinks and looks feebler by the week...
And almost nobody sees what is happening.
Because they are looking in The Wrong Place.
