Xenophobia has caused countless wars and hate crimes.

Ultimately, it's not about the myths and legends one's tribe worships or the color of one's skin, it's about one's heritage: unfamiliar customs and invisible deities are no reason to deny other cultures. They are challenges to enlightenment (and also one's understanding of metaphors) that need to be addressed.

If the citizens of one race accept the citizens of another race the leaders will realize this and be willing to work with them, not against them. Wars will not cease until we all realize that we are all one. Invite your enemy to dinner.

The conspiracies and machinations of a ruling elite are as old as mankind. The rules for implementing and sustaining the power structure are ancient and have not changed. The basic rules used against us are:

1. Keep the people in fear of losing their protection from unspeakable evils and remind them of these unspeakable evils often;

2. Keep the people afraid of each other so they won't trust each other and won't want to join together in vast numbers. This is accomplished by accentuating the ridiculously reactionary and seemingly pejorative differences between race, religion, sect, class, gender, sexual orientation, age, language, culture, skill set or whatever other differences can be manipulated to help divide people rather than unite them, confuse them rather than enlighten them, and make them misunderstand and mistrust each other: Keep them out of heaven at all costs.

3. Create conflict so that the powers that govern can be seen to solve the conflict, thus keeping people submissive.

4. Isolate and destroy any independent thinkers.

5. Always deny the truth.
