“If you catch 100 red fire ants as well as 100 large black ants, and put them in a jar, at first, nothing will happen. However, if you violently shake the jar and dump them back on the ground the ants will fight until they eventually kill each other. The thing is, the red ants think the black ants are the enemy and vice versa, when in reality, the real enemy is the person who shook the jar. This is exactly what’s happening in society today. Liberal vs. Conservative. Black vs. White. Pro Mask vs. Anti-Mask. Vax vs. Anti-vax. Rich vs. poor. Man vs. woman. Cop vs. citizen. [Etc.] The real question we need to be asking ourselves is who’s shaking the jar… and why?”
The above observation by Shera Starr cannot be improved upon.
And yet, the answer to the question is fairly simple.
But let’s first take a look at this anomaly. It’s natural to identify with some individuals more than others. That tendency occurred before Homo sapiens came into being. In addition, the tendency for animals to group into families or packs also predates humans.
We tend to want to be around those who behave the way we do and have the same perceptions as we do. That only makes sense. We wish to surround ourselves with those who are unlikely to surprise and possibly even endanger us by behaving in a fashion that we would not ourselves choose.
This is the basis of trust – an essential in group or herd mentality. And being a part of a group or herd brings to us increased safety.
So, what then, of those who are not within our group or herd? How do we relate to them?
Well, any nature programme that covers animals gathered around a water hole can provide that answer.
We see a small group of wild pigs drinking alongside a group of wildebeests. Neither species is predatory, so they learn to recognise that, even though one group is made up of savannah-living grazers and the other are forest-living foragers, they can easily co-exist, which will increase the ability of both species to use the water hole at the same time.
We might also see a group of hyenas using the water hole, but we notice that the prey animals all seek to keep a distance between themselves and the predatory hyenas. Everyone understands that they are all at the water hole for the same reason and it makes sense to share, even if, in another situation, they are natural enemies.
In fact, in most of nature, we see that species adapt to a condition of mutual tolerance in order to be able to coexist.
No surprise, then, that Homo sapiens got on the mutual tolerance bandwagon in its formative stages and, for the most part, has remained that way.
But it is also true that predators develop dual habits. They may exercise tolerance at the water hole, but at some point, they mean to make a meal of their water hole neighbours.
And when doing so, many species create associations with others of their kind to hunt.
This, too, is true of humans. Most of humanity seeks to live in a spirit of cooperation with others.
In the countryside, people erect walls and fences to establish boundaries, then find it expedient to respect such divisions in order to live in peace. Even in cities, people who live cheek by jowl in the same building respect each other’s privacy for the most part. Even if they do not become friends, they either remain polite or ignore each other.
Although there are always exceptions, for the most part, mankind behaves in a manner that is based upon “getting along.” He might argue with others, but for the most part, he understands that cooperation generally should be the objective, as it’s in his best interests.
But why, then, are we seeing in so many of the countries of the First World, a rapidly increasing polarity amongst people. Ms. Starr is exactly correct. Those who would be most inclined toward mutual tolerance have, in recent years, become so polarised that they cannot so much as get together with their own families for the holidays without getting into heated arguments.
Why are people of today so solidly in one of two camps?
Can this be blamed on the rise of the internet? Well, no, the internet has become the source of a plethora of opinions and perceptions. And more than closing people off to polarised “A” and “B” choices, the internet has served to broaden public discourse.
Of course, most people express distrust for the media, particularly those networks that purportedly deal in “news.” What passes for news today is far from objective information that the viewer can then assess at his leisure.
On one network, we view unceasing diatribes against one political party. Then we turn the channel and view unceasing diatribes against the opposing party.
In turning on the News, we arrive at Indoctrination Central.
But if we really pay attention objectively, we discover that the same programmes are dictating to us that it is either our humanitarian duty to vax, or that vaxxing will enslave us to globalists who will inject us with microchips.
They are also our source for the opposing beliefs that warfare is essential to protect us against those who seek to destroy us, or that it will be the wars themselves that will destroy us.
In fact, all of Ms. Starr’s concerns find their source in the media. When we ask the question, “Who is shaking the jar… and why?” we find that those who control the media are at the source of the polarisation of people, especially in the First World.
As to the “Why?” the answer is so simple that it’s often overlooked. Like the ants, the more a people can be made to fight each other, the easier it is to subjugate them.
And since the effort to polarise people has become so massive, we can only conclude that the ultimate objective will be to implement a far greater level of subjugation, in an abnormally short period of time.
Liberal vs. Conservative. Black vs. white. Man vs. woman. Divide and conquer.
In such a socio-political climate, the challenge will be to keep your wits about you. As the jar is shaken on a daily basis, it will be vital to recognise that those who control the media are creating a war between the pigs and the wildebeests. This is something that is not desired by either species, but as Hermann Goering stated, “Why, of course the people don’t want war.” They must be goaded into it if those who are pulling the stings are to achieve greater subjugation.
In the coming years, this trend can be expected to become far worse than at present. The challenge will be to escape the jar if you can. Find a location where the state of warfare is less pronounced, or if this is not possible, seek a location within the jar that’s away from the fray.
Those who fall for the bait – who buy into rabidly supporting one political party or another, or who allow themselves to be angered at an entire race, or who are conned into hatred of an entire gender – will prove to be the greatest casualties of subjugation.
Editor’s Note:
Unfortunately, there’s little any individual can practically do to change the course of these trends in motion.
The best you can and should do is to stay informed so that you can protect yourself in the best way possible, and even profit from the situation.
That’s precisely why bestselling author Doug Casey and his colleagues just released an urgent new PDF report that explains what could come next and what you can do about it. Click here to download it now.

And lest we forget an experiment that pretty much laid out man and his obedience to the white coats:
I thought about the Milgram experiment on and off for 25 years.
Finally I came to the conclusion the underlying cause has nothing to do with obedience.
And you wouldn’t like the real reason.
In order to have the proper perspective, we have to ask questions and realize historical facts:
Question 1: Who is shaking the Jar?
Question 2: Who is the Capitol Fence and 5K thoroughly vetted/vaccinated/indoctrinated Troops meant to protect?
Answer 1=Answer 2=The Uniparty/Socialist/RINO CABAL
Fact: We have all seen the amazing things that a hive of ants can accomplish when they are under threat or direct attack.
The attack comes in the form of a manufactured race war/class war/economic war, a tactic that has been successfully used time and again since the dawn of the human race.
One more question: How can there be an actual race war when there is only one human race?
Because humans always divide themselves by choosing what they will worship: Life or Death, Peace or War, Neighbor or Enemy.
hmm..
Where can I get a copy of this?

Sounds like it’s the (((ants))) that are the problem.
WTF?? He didn’t answer WHO is shaking the jar!!!!
Asshole.
Lemme guess. It’s …..(((them))).
What if it’s ………………………………………. GOD?

I mean …….(((God))).
Who’s the King of the North?
Justin Trudeau.
Maybe king Sultan of the plantation?

Russia and Iran will invade Jerusalem.
That works for me.

Since you didn’t answer my Rapture question …I can hardly blame you …. lemme ask you a few other questions (all related);
—- Where there at least two ants on the Ark?
—- Actually, there are over 10,000 species of ants. Were there 20,000 ants on the Ark?
—- Did Noah have to build teeny tiny cages for them?
—- The jack jumper ant is native to Australia. How did Mr.& Mrs. Jumperant travel the 8,000 miles to the Middle East … especially across the ocean …. and then back to Australia?
(Please take into account that the ants only live for about 1 year so they would need to run, or swim, about 22 miles a day. Is that possible for those little ant legs?))
TIA
I think you already know the answers.
It could be argued from Genesis 7 every creeping thing, could be insects. Would Noah build cages?? Why?? The ark was huge. If you get a chance go to the Ark Encounter and you can see just how large it was. May believe there are to many species to fit but as an example using dogs, Noah would have brought a lwolf like canine and not a hundred different breeds like todays canines. He also would have taken animals coming into their prime, not that Noah did the choosing.
As for dispersion there were land bridges leading to the continents. The ice age is a results of the fountains being broken up as stated in scripture. There would have also been an enormous amount of volcano activity happening at that time as well. Causing huge amounts of evaporation which dropped as snow at the polar regions. That water into the polar regions would have dropped the water levels as would also the changing topographic of the newly forming oceans and the raising of mountains from plate tectonics.
Insects would have survived on the large vegetation mats that would have formed during the flood. Speciation would have followed when flora and fauna gets isolated and they adjust to their surroundings. This speciation is a lose of genetic information, and not a gain.
Hey Stuck…I answered your Rapture question…that was easy peasy…right after I saw it…I had contractors all day.
When have you ever seen me dodge anyone on anything???
As far as you questions:
—- Where there at least two ants on the Ark?
—- Actually, there are over 10,000 species of ants. Were there 20,000 ants on the Ark?
—- Did Noah have to build teeny tiny cages for them?
I don’t have a clue…what…do I look like the Shell Answer Man???
He hit the car in front due to the Shell No-Pest Strip® hanging from his rear view mirror which obstructed his view.
BTW, Shell’s Wide World of Golf was one helluva show.
Ha!
The Shadow knows!
Ask Gilgamesh. He knows.
Leiningen knows ants.
The whole article sounds like it was written by a woman.
“No surprise, then, that Homo sapiens got on the mutual tolerance bandwagon in its formative stages and, for the most part, has remained that way.”
LOL
If you exclude the people in power, this is a relatively true statement. Most people simply wish to be left alone, but are more than happy to interact with folks where there is mutual benefit in the interaction. Those at the bottom NEVER profit from conflict with others, while those at the top, profit endlessly by fomenting conflict.
Wow, the opening paragraph. I had a client today who, after a lengthy covid etc discussion, asked what is going on? I wish I could have handed a printout of the first paragraph.
In regards to the ant analogy. Fuck that. If you are an anti-white, communist piece of shit, white, black, brown or yellow you will always be my enemy. I dont care who “shook the jar”
“They want you divided”
I remember reading that a few years back.
WHO was saying that? Hmmm….
Ah, yes. Now I remember.

17, but then, that was just a psyop.
A LARP.
One that opened a lot of minds and eyes,
even if it fell short of promises and predictions.
Who is shaking the jar?
Their name is Legion, for they are many.
Synergy between politicians, media, and moneyed interests. Sleight of hand for the masses.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

I find the ant analogy peculiar, to say the least.
Isn’t the psychopathic elite trying to turn all of mankind -except themselves of course- into an anthill, or a termitarium?
Meaning no self-thinking allowed.
They keep us all thinking that the other side is the enemy so that we will never sit down, talk, find common ground, and realize that the ONLY ENEMY we have EVER FACED…..is the government itself (and those who control it).
I don’t think so. Satanic leftists ARE the enemy AND they are the ones shaking the jar.
Meh.
It is quite clear that the internet is the best way to divide people imaginable.
Having an external agency thinks of the innumerable picayune differences is impossible, but stick instant messaging and grouping into people’s hands, and they will divide themselves up.
Nor is the fast response a beneficial feature. Slow comms gives people the chance to think; fast comms tap right into the anger and 2-year old children like impulses.
