Push It....Push It Real Good: The drug lords of fear

There are always people out there who make the claims that you should be afraid. Be very afraid. They are the kingpins, and drug lords of fear who tell you that bad things will happen, and chaos will ensue if you don't listen to them. Keeping people afraid is the oldest trick in the book of control. You can make people do anything you want out of sheer fear for their well being, or futures.You can make people think that they have to take some sort of drastic action out of fear, and that if they don't now, they will be powerless to do so in the near coming.
Fear is the one emotion that humans have that is parallel to the animal kingdom, because fear causes an action of self preservation. It will make you feel like you are cornered and you have no other choice but to fight for your life or well being or protect your offspring like some mother bear. I don't know any folks who when they are afraid don't have some sort of engine in them that gets turned on to make them ready to retaliate in some fashion. It is a mind altering state that is the basis for every kind of bigotry, preemptive action, and distrust in the world. Once someone is afraid, there is nothing you can really do sometimes to talk them off of the ledge. They are afraid, and that is it, and when 3 or more folks have the same fear, then the "Mob Rules" mentality emerges.

The pushers of fear know this, and do their best to exploit any chink in the armor of a person's logic. They will tap into the basic idea in a person's mind that they are in big trouble. And you can best believe that they have the answer to fix it, so follow them, or be doomed. This is how you create mob rules. By not speaking to just one person, but having the ability to address several at one time, and letting that fear cross into each person like some virus. One person by themselves can't necessarily  be persuaded because there is no dynamic to feed off of. But a collection of folks at one time can be riled up to feed off of one another in some energetic fashion because there is the feeling of safety and power in numbers. This is how lynch mobs were riled up in the south. Because of the fear that something was going to be taken away from the white southern man. Namely his women, or his power.
The fears that get used most are, 1)Someone's coming for you, 2)someone's going to take something from you 3)your life as you know it won't exist soon, and 4) something that is rightfully yours is being withheld from you because someone else has it.
These fears are constantly circulated, moved around, called something else, and adjusted for the times, but they are the same fears peddled by masterful people who want their own form of power, and will stoke any fire that they feel necessary to achieve it. There have been many in history who have done this, and there will be many more in the future. What they are brilliant at is sounding like they are making complete sense to people. Especially those who are in situations where they need to believe in something. People need to project why they are in certain situations upon reasons. And sometimes those reasons end up being other people. Once again, deflecting issues that pertain to the self onto others. And the pusher of fear appeals to their low self esteem and questioning mind of "why am I suffering?"
This is why fear is so dangerous in the hands of these folks because they then use it to become leaders of causes that seemingly benefit the ones afraid, but instead further their own personal agenda, and desired end result which is of course power and money. In the hands of fools, the mob rules.
Remember this the next time you see someone peddling fear. It is rampant from top to bottom. In politics, in religion, and in that ruler of all people, business. And it is on the lowest levels of human interaction where control is desired. It takes you to figure it out and reject it, and not get sucked in the fear vacuum. Be afraid..Be very afraid of whoever tells you to be afraid.
