Statecraft is witchcraft
St. Augustine of Hippo (circa 400 AD) is largely responsible for our current state of sexual paranoia and hysteria. His sex addiction apparently cured by religion, he condemned sensuality with fanaticism.
The four cardinal virtues - prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice to govern them, are derived from Plato.
Augustine devised the concept of two worlds or kingdoms- the one here and now, the Earthly realm, and the world to come, the heavenly one. Augustine thought two sets of laws were in play, but both derived from the same source (?) . This Manichaen idea was to have serious consequences- the cults that wield political power on the Earth today saw early on that this world of matter has one law, seperate from heavens law, so if we want to rule here, we have to forsake Gods rules and adopt the Devils. An extension of this sentiment is the extreme and brutal realpolitic that our leaders so ruthlessly pursue,.... the worship of money, power, and death.
