THE TRUE NATURE OF POLITICS (reality version) ( Archived) (21)

Politics is a word with a wide variety of texture and context, but for the most part, politics is the art and/or struggle for control. Wherever you find two or more people, you will find politics because people live in communities and rely on each other for our success and there is no such thing as anarchy outside of a temporary vacuum in the seat of power after a revolution. It doesn't last long, though, because there is always a rush to fill a vacuum; any sort of vacuum, and that includes a vacuum of power.

At all levels of politics, the purpose of it is control and/or dominance. In a democracy/republic, politicians seek to control the hearts and minds of voters so that they can pursue a career of power, in which they will exert that power over the very people that elect them. In tyrannical states, politics is exerting direct control of the state and it's peoples, often through coercion and brute force. But no matter how you look at it, politics is about power, control and dominance.

People inclined to seek political office may have any number of motives for doing so, but ever "higher" office and ever "higher" levels of power and control seem to be the ultimate goal of most. And this fact is what makes the concept of "One World Government" a preposterous notion.

Which of the World's heads of state want to cede their power to some higher One World Order authority? Which of the overinflated egos running countries around the world want to be the lackey for some super-secret NWO illuminati mastermind type? Hint: None of them. In order for there to ever be a true "New World Order" in the form of one world government, there would have to be first a true World War and I don't mean in the loose sense such as WWI or WWII. No, I mean EVERY country would end up being involved and every country conquered and ONE dictator put in place with the world as his empire. And no one's going to sit for that, either.

Seriously, the nature of politics itself makes the concept of "One World Government" virtually impossible. The Romans gave it a go. The English gave it a go. Attempts to conquer and govern the world aren't new and they've always failed and always will fail just as surely as gravity keeps us from flying off into space as the Earth rotates. The nature of politics makes it impossible.

A united North Africa and One World Government are entirely different things and I'd even wager against all of North Africa uniting under a single umbrella of political control. I'm not even sure the EU is going to still be standing throughout my lifetime and it's a very loose association.
