"When you find issues/controversies which people love to debate endlessly, which are emotionally inflammatory and which divide the masses into oppositional stances/groups - it is a pretty strong possibility that the controlling elites might be busy behind the scenes, fomenting these quarrels and keeping them alive."
The latest 'event' took place over this past weekend as the Constitution or Sharia Conference. Kicked out from a local hotel the organizers had previously booked, they found a sanctuary to hold it in none other than Cornerstone Church, Nashville's premier Christian zionist stronghold.
The local news sites had a number of articles on the conference. There were hundreds and hundreds of comments posted. A great number of anti-sharia sympathizers of course chimed in and were countered by many opposed to their bigotry but most of their arguments centered on first amendment rights and religious freedom. True in the constitutional sense and relevant although very very few mentioned that this was basically about divide and conquer. While 'Christians' argued about Muslims and with other 'Christians' and atheists complained about all religions, I saw no one who had anything to say about this all being a set up, years in the making.
TVNL Comment: The only news that you see on TV (the news that gets discussed and covered in depth, not just the one time reports), have to meet the criteria of being able to create debate between left and right. You never see issues reported that unite the public on an issue.
