Government

Governments’ Purpose: According to Tom Jefferson, “governments are instituted among men” to secure God (Creator) given rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, among others. I guess liberty is a sort of freedom from oppression, or forcing one to do what one does not want to do. So governments are to protect us from the authority of others.

But ISTMRN that governments are instituted for a diametrically opposed purpose: to organize great numbers of people into vast powerful armies, including armies of laborers, engineers, scientists, lawyers, and clerks. Armies that spread (convert) enemies to the “truth” of morality. "Truth" that serves as the basis of agreement among the soldiers of each of the armies. Power through organization. That is what governments are instituted for.

“Organization” is making an efficient organ wherein each cell performs its function without hesitation or question to achieve the function of the parent organ, which in turn is a “cell” in an “organ-ism”.
