In a mountain valley, two neighboring villages shared a single, flowing river. For generations, the fishermen of the northern village and the southern village fished peacefully, each taking only what they needed.
​High in the mountains above them lived a wealthy land baron who wanted to buy all the valley's territory for cheap to build a massive resort. Knowing the proud villagers would never sell their ancestral lands voluntarily, he hatched a plan to make them destroy themselves.
​Late one night, the baron sent his men to build a temporary timber dam high up the river, severely restricting the water flow. He then sent a messenger to the northern village, whispering, "The southern village has blocked the river upstream to starve your people and hoard all the fish."
​Simultaneously, another messenger rode to the southern village: "The northern village is draining the river dry with massive nets, leaving your children with nothing."
​Blinded by sudden fear and outrage, neither village bothered to send scouts up the mountain to check the river's source. Instead, full-scale warfare erupted. The northern fishermen marched south to destroy the neighbor’s boats; the southern villagers retaliated by burning the northern docks. For weeks, they fought viciously, destroying each other’s nets, burning homes, and poisoning the remaining ponds.
​By the end of the season, both villages were thoroughly ruined, their resources depleted, and their young men wounded or lost. Broke, desperate, and starving, both sides finally agreed to sell their lands to the wealthy baron for pennies on the dollar just to survive.
​Only after the deeds were signed did the baron’s workers dismantle the mountain dam, letting the water flow freely once more into a valley he now completely owned.
Both villages believed they were fighting to protect their livelihoods from an aggressive neighbor. In reality, they were destroying each other on behalf of a third party who engineered their panic and collected the reward. When anger is fueled by sudden suspicion, the most important question is never "How do I beat my rival?" but rather "Who choked the river in the first place?"

If you treat the mob with kindness,
these creatures fancy themselves invulnerable; if you hang a few,
they get tired of the game, and become as submissive and humble as they ought to be.

A farmer, tired of rats destroying his crops and stealing his grain, came up with a clever but cruel plan. He threw a dead pig into a deep, abandoned well. Attracted by the smell, nearly 80 rats rushed into the well to feast on the carcass. At first, everything seemed wonderful. There was more than enough food for everyone, and the rats ate until they were satisfied.

But when the food was gone, they discovered something terrifying. The walls of the well were too steep to climb. They were trapped. Days passed, and hunger turned into desperation. Desperation turned into aggression. The rats that had once eaten peacefully beside one another began fighting for survival. Eventually, they began killing and eating each other.

One by one, their numbers dwindled until only a single rat remained. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it had survived by consuming its own kind. Then the farmer returned, lowered a rope into the well, and rescued the last surviving rat. But he didn't save it out of kindness or compassion.

The farmer knew the rat had learned to survive by hunting other rats. When he released it into his fields, it would continue killing its own kind instead of eating his grain. The farmer had turned his enemy into his greatest weapon.

And that is the lesson of divide and conquer. Those who control the trap don't need to fight the battles themselves. They simply create the conditions in which others turn against one another.

The rats believed their enemies were the other rats. They never realized that the true enemy was the farmer who had put them there.

The greatest danger isn't always the enemy standing in front of you. Sometimes it's the one who created the conflict and stands quietly watching you destroy each other.

Before you turn against your neighbor because of their political beliefs, ask yourself who benefits from keeping Americans divided. While we fight each other over Republican and Democrat, we may be overlooking those who profit from the conflict. Perhaps the real question isn't which side you're on, but who built the well—and why they want us fighting at the bottom of it.

The mouth that trembles builds nothing. the mouth that commands splits water. moses did not ask, moses said. the sea obeyed. the sea always obeys the tongue that does not flinch. the cautious die in the desert, the certain cross. god did not bargain with darkness, god said let there be. nothing asked permission to disagree, the world simply complied. your world also complies, you just keep whispering apologies into the void and wondering why nothing is born through you. every prophet was killed for the same reason, his mouth worked, and that is how you knew it was real. stop trying to sound holy, start sounding like you mean it. God has not abandoned you, you abandoned your own throat

A well trained security detail shuns the media, no written books, no TV appearance, no publications either in print or digital media.
The exception is with express written authorisation by the boss, for Maurice the boss is deceased, he was to remain lip tied forever!!
