When the going gets tough, the Status Quo's first step is to get very quiet and secretive. Information is withheld so as to create apprehension and anxiety among the people.

Next step:
Multiple leaks of conflicting and illogical information designed to create confusion, throwing the people off track from their original intention.

Next step:
Paint the members of the Status Quo as victims - misunderstood, filled with contrition without any genuine remorse or substantial responsibility taken. And if the people don't accept that shallow, meaningless apology, they are painted as unfair, unkind and misguided.

Then the attacks begin:
The people to into survival mentality and become divided, the previous unity and consensus falls apart and "¦mission of the Status Quo complete.

The Status Quo would have us believe that it's just the way we are. That's why they created the old Sacred Cow and repeat it every chance they get:

"It's every man for himself."

It's the ultimate agreement in survival mentality. It doesn't even include women in the picture because that's the way they want it. If we feel separate and forget that we have eachother, they can get away with whatever they want.

There is nothing new in this pattern. We've seen it all along. Every battered woman lives through this same scenario countless times. Every partner or family member of an addict knows that sinking feeling in their stomach saying, "Oh, my god, it's happening again."

My intuition teaches me that the very first response is the one to believe. Think about what our very first response was to the events of September 11th. Did we respond with "every man for himself?"

That is not the way we are. It's time to cut off our agreement with believing that it's every man for himself or that it's just the way we are.
