Don't We Know This Trick?

I have said for years that you can't lead people where they don't want to go.  I was wrong.  You can lead people where they don't want to go if you trick them and lie to them.  This is what tyrants have been doing throughout history. 

Right now our politicians are cleverly working to create civil unrest.  Economic disaster awaits the collapse of the dollar, and current policies have guaranteed more severe fallout ahead.  Politicians use the media and government agencies to create greater divides among us, along race and economic lines.  The health care law seizes control of a huge sector of our economy.  College loans are now all handled by the federal government, making indebted students slaves to the state.

When everything falls apart, it will require more government intervention, perhaps even martial law.  The public will cry out for more government control to help settle the upheaval in society.  The government will be more than willing to use the heavy hand to control the population.

Here is the trick:  use government policies to create unrest in society, then let government swoop in to save the day with even more control.  What's the definition of tyranny?
