How to Rule the World: Lessons in Conquest for the Modern Prince - Paperback

by J. F. Cummings (Author)

How to Rule the World provides a commentary on today's "modern world" and the "forces" that govern it. This is done in the voice of "civilization's" greatest supporter, an advisor to the Prince. How to Rule the World is a modern adaptation of Machiavelli's The Prince. The author provides the reader, the Prince, with a methodology of non-invasive influence and control that will grant them sovereignty over their desired target nation-state and eventually over the world-at-large. Learn How To: * Convince Populations to Participate in Their Own Exploitation * Use Democracy, Rule of Law, Free Trade, and Free Press As Tools of Domination * Exploit Cultural & Religious Differences and Use Then to Dominate People * Promote Anxiety, Insecurity, and Fear As a Means of Social Control * Use a Nation's Own Culture to Destroy Its Society, Economy, and Environment * Project Yourself as the Universal Model For Humanity and Civilization * Create a World Culture of Individualistic Materialism & Perpetual Childhood * Promote a Culture of Progress At Any Cost * Convince Nations to Embrace Non-Culture-Based National Planning How to Rule the World shows the modern Prince how to utilize "modern ideals" such as free trade, democratic governance, human rights, freedom and individual rights, rule of law, and free press to exert control over other nations and convince them to collaborate in their own domination and exploitation through their quest to do whatever is required of them to be accepted as "developed", "modern" nations. Though adherence to the methodology of conquest explained in the book, the Prince will be granted access to the psyche of the target nation's population and will be able to redefine its very sense of worth and self-definition. Anita P. DeFrantz, Ph.D., Prof. of Education, Emeritus, Univ. of San Francisco "In this extraordinary book, Cummings has utilized satire to provide the reader opportunity to participate in a review of the complex problems extant in our times. He has utilized the knowledge bases of the world, has included scholars from many academic fields, and has presented definitions with a remarkable clarity. His decision to involve the reader in a critical thinking, participatory manner, is pedagogy at its best. His candor as the advisor to the Prince includes factual information needed to complete the tasks of ruling the world-or the decision to live well in it. Every adult should read this book to understand and teach the lessons of modern living." Masudul A. Choudhury, Ph.D., Int l Chair of the Postgraduate Program in Islamic Economics and Finance, Trisakti Univ.; Prof. of Economics, Sultan Qaboos Univ.; author of Computing Reality This is a meticulously written thesis The author introduces a number of principal premises for his explanation of the Prince and his governed and self-transformed nation-states Among these principal premises is the author s arguments centering on Cultural Dissonance. By using Cultural Dissonance the Prince causes Cultural Warfare and isolationism of the otherwise true relational self with the Other. Individualism in this cultural dissonance construct of the Prince then becomes the other groundwork of the author's argument upon which he establishes a social disintegration theory of corruption, governance and subjugation of the Prince's world-system over which he governs with cunning and might.

Cummings employs the satire of Swift. In the style of a skilled carpenter, he hits the nails of political satire directly on the head, driving them home
