Concentrations  of  Influence and/or Powers  can  engender
Alienation  and/or  Reconciliation,   or  something  else.

However:    Unilateral,   Arbitrary,   Capricious   and/or
Insensitive Demonstrations-of-Domineering-Power  ---   are
Most-Often-Alienative, Rather-Than-Reconciling or anything
else.

It  is TRAGIC WHEN Individual-Persons-Engender-Alienation,
by  behaving  in ways which are:  Unilateral,   Arbitrary,
Capricious and/or  Insensitive   ---  In   Demonstrations-
of-Domineering-Power.

It   is  MUCH-WORSE  WHEN  such  Individual-Persons  Form-
Coalitions   that  behave:   Unilaterally,    Arbitrarily,
Capriciously and/or Insensitively ---  In  Demonstrations-
of-Domineering-Power.

The latter  concentrate:   powers,   energy,   wealth  and
resources ---  in  ways  which  augment  and  concentrate
Alienative-Behaviors in extreme ways that lead to Terrors,
Terrorism,  Wars and other Futile-Violent-and-Destructive-
Behaviors.

The  above  tragedies are Further-Augmented when Vices are
embedded   as   if   they   were   Virtues   ---    within
Institutionally-Required: Traditions, Practices, Routines,
Habits,   Rituals,   Recitations --- that are Enforced-in-
Systematic-Ways BY-COMBINATIONS-OF:    The-Powers-That-Be,
Domination-Systems,    Empires,    Emperors,    Religions,
Churches,  Crusades, Governments,  Corporations, Military-
Industrial-Complexes,   Educational-Systems,   Scientific-
Authorities,    Human-Service-Agencies,    Health-Systems,
Profitable-Health-Insurance-Corporations,      Retirement-
Systems,  etc.

The  more Institutional-Participants that are included  in
the  above  COMBINATIONS  ---   the  more  TRAGIC-ARE-THE-
OUTCOMES  of the Resulting-Corruptions.   See for  example
one attempt to define "Facism" at the following web site:

Facism


Often  the  above COMBINATIONS of OVERLAPPING-POWERS  are
supported by many people who Fear-To-Think-For-Themselves
and  fear to Accept-Responsibilities in  the  exercise of
democratic powers  that  might be entrusted  to  them  in
legitimate ways.    When many people Refuse-To-Think-For-
Themselves    and   Refuse-To-Exercise-Democratic-Powers-
Legitimately; A-FEW Domineering-People THINK-FOR-THEM and
"Liberate-Them-From-The-Need-To-Think  and Liberate-Them-
From-Being-Held-Accountable   for   any    failure-in-any-
elective-office.

As  a  result of the above kinds of  tragic  developments
there is a Break-Down of Due-Judicial-Procedures.  In the
absence of Due-Judicial-Procedures "Authoritative-Judges"
Make-Judgments   which   are:   Capricious,    Arbitrary,
Prejudiced,  Biased, and motivated by   Fears, Ignorance,
Terrors,  Terrorism, Terrorists, Wars,  Preparations-For-
Wars, Military-Industrial-Complexes - - - in COMBINATIONS
OF OVERLAPPING-POWERS as suggested above.

Religious Leaders-and-Institutions have often contributed
to  the  above through Major-Theological-Blunders;  i.e.,
Major-Blunders in how they have talked about  God and the
Nature and Activities of God; as in:

1.  Humans Benefiting-From Sacrifices-Made-To-God.
2.  God viewed as Alienated-From-Humans in Power.
3.  God viewed as like the most powerful/dominant humans.
4.  God the: Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Eternal
5.  God the: Dominant, Demanding, Controller, Commander.
6.  God present as a part of the Cosmos in 4D-Time-Space.
7.  God communicating/Acting within Cosmic 4D-Time-Space.
8.  God created in the image of our most admired humans.
9.  God as able to be More-In-Control than all humans.

The above kinds of Major-Theological-Blunders have led to
Concentrations-of-Powers-and-Wealth  in  COMBINATIONS  OF
OVERLAPPING-POWERS as suggested  above ---  and to tragic
corruptions as humans have tried to be like the god  whom
they  have created in their own image;  a  Tragic-Cyclic-
Process in a COSMIC-FEED-BACK-LOOP.

     Be-Together in the Many-Gracious ways of Shalom.

                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
