Games that People Play(3):- Strategical Horse Racing by SunBin

Case 1: Happened before 320BC:

-------------------------------------------------8<----------------------------------------------

孙膑赛马:

战国时候，齐国大将田忌很喜欢赛马。他每次和齐威王赛马，都要押上重金赌输赢。他们把各自的马分为上、中、下三等。比赛时，上等马对上等马，中等马对中等马，下等马对下等马。由于齐威王每个等级的马都比田忌的强，每次赛马，田忌都以失败而告终。

一次，田忌又比输了，正闷闷不乐地离开赛场，他的朋友孙膑对他说：“从刚才比赛的情形看，齐威王的马比你的快不了多少，下次比赛，你只管下重金和他赌输赢，我有办法让你取胜。”田忌疑惑地看看孙膑：“你是说给我换几匹好马吗？”孙膑摇头说：“不是。”田忌知道孙膑足智多谋，看着他胸有成竹的样子，没再多问。

等到比赛那天，孙膑向田忌面授机宜说：“第一场，用你的下等马去同他的上等马周旋；第二场，用你的上等马去对付他的中等马；第三场，你用中等马对付他的下等马。”结果，第一场比赛田忌输了，第二、三场比赛赢了，最终以2：1获胜。这下，齐威王目瞪口呆，只好眼睁睁地看着田忌得意地拿走了自己的千金。

Brief Translation:

Strategical Horse Racing by SunBin:

SunBin(孙膑; died 316 BC), grandson of SunTzu(孙子) who is famous for his "Art of War", was a military advisor who lived during the Warring States Period of China history.

During that time, there was a military general of Qi State(齐国) - TianJi (田忌). TianJi often invited to have horse racing competitions by his king - King Wei (齐威王). Everytime, they both put heavy bet on the competition. The competition consisted of 3 races. So, they used their first class horses for the first race, second class horses for the second race, and third class horses for the third race. Because King Wei had faster horses in all the three categories than TianJi had, TianJi had always lost.

Once, SunBin was a guest of the Tianji and invited to attend the race. Again, Tianji lost all the three races again and felt very upset. SunBin spoke to Tianji:"I noticed that the horses that King Wei has in each category is not much faster than yours. Next time, you can smiply put heavier bet, and I have a strategy for you to win the competition."

Wait until the next race, SunBin asked TianJi to use his 3rd class horse to race with KingWei 1st class horse in the first round. TianJi's horse lost by far distance in the first round. In the second round, SunBin used TianJi 1st class horse to win KingWei 2nd class horse. And, in the final round, SunBin used TianJi 2nd class horse to win KingWei 3rd class horse. KingWei was shocked to see the result and TianJi won BIG TIME during that race.

Case 2: Happening Now:

Pictures from Smart Money Magazine.

It was an old conspiracy that USA would keep most of their crude oil reserve untounched while promote gas-guzzler vehicles to use up other countries crude oil first.... Then, when it come to a time that other countries oil reserve is about to finish, they would anounce they just discover that they have many new oil fields at home...

Now, lets look that this month issue, August 2012, Smart Money magazine feature story: The Return of Fossil Fuels. The headline says:

"Enormous new oil and gas discoveries under American soil are having a game-changing impact on the entire economy - affecting everything from what we're putting in our portfolios to what we're parking in our driveways. How to play the new energy boom."

So, is this news just a coincident? Or, just another strategical game practised from The Art of War?

May be the above queations are not important. What important is the implication?

So, US has surplus in their food supply, water supply, energy supply and strongest military advantage... Why should they care about debt? Therefore, print money and be happy.

Games that People Play(2):- Work Behind the Scenes

The world economy and major events that are happening all around the world seems like following the plot of the story in the book - Atlas Shrugged - in the final section.

There are many people complain about their current president can not fix the economy problem effectively. Some could look further blame previous term presidents that their economy policies are not sound.

Actually, the seeds of trouble for today economy were planted decades ago while Alan Greenspan was at his position as Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States from 1987 to 2006! And now, all the troubles have grown to their mature state.

If you were to search in the web: "Who is Alan Greenspan mentor?" You can find that his mentor was the author of the book "Atlas Shrugged", Ayn Rand, and they have a small circle of mastermind.

If you were to dig further and see who's was backing up Ayn Rand -->

Of course, many people would simply say that this is yet another conspiracy theory...

So, I believe that the best way to keep a secret is to put it up onto the web, as people don't believe any secret can be found in the web.

The following pictures are self-explanatory:

It is Strongly Recommend that you watch the video clip (only 24 seconds) on what

Alan Greenspan has to say.

You may not believe what he say without watching it!!!

If you have trouble to see the video from this blog, click on this -> link <-

But, history has proven, it is not necessary that their plan would succeed as human being are most creative under huge pressure in critical time.

AND

What Matters Most is How You See Yourself, and not

limiting your own beliefs due to circumstances.

Bless All

Games that People Play(1):- 挟天子以令诸侯

When most people hear that the world is actually controlled by a very few minority people/families who controlled most of the governments in the world... They would simply say that "IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!"

But, in reality, this is not a new concept at all. It happened around the world everywhere. Take for examples:-

In the late Han Dynasty, around 1800 years ago, in China, there was a minister - Cao Cao.

Cao Cao hold the weak Emperor under his control, and made use of the formal legal authority of the Emperor to control the other warlords and force them to comply to his order. In Chinese, it is well known as "挟天子以令诸侯 ". This strategy been repeatedly used in the history. Including the WWII that Japanese used it on China.

Fortunately, there is a defect in this strategy... That is people can see it clearly and try to repel it.

Therefore, in order to use this strategy in modern day, it must be modified, and lets look at how people play this game in this day and age. It must make sure that the people have the good feeling that seem like they have the choice. Like the illustrations from the video and picture below:-

Choosing between two men, or puppets, with the same secret boss behind is still choosing the secret boss.
