Denigrating people's own personal experiences as NOT being legitimate foundations for and/or sources of, authority. 2. Concentrating authority, power, wealth and technological means into the hands of a qualified select-few --- at the expense of those who are not qualified or selected by the domineering leaders. 3. Modifying the meanings of words, phrases, and grammatical constructs --- so as to make it difficult for others to think and speak clearly about what is happening within their own relationships. 4. Propagandizing most citizens so that they will be skeptical of: peace-makers, True-Lovers, reconcilers, healers, non-violent-resistors, creative-people, integrators, etc. 5. Offering ultimate rewards for proper forms of conformity. 6. Threatening ultimate punishments for non- conformity. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
