   With all due respects fellows, to decide,  does in fact mean to
annihilate (to disintegrate)  the dualistic illusion of a conditioned
belief or idea which then allows one to move beyond the idea's
inherent contradiction.  Such is the transition from the dualistic
realm of intellectualism to the direct nondualistic realm of action.

   The very need for decision is a sign of confusion. Clearsightedness
does not engender problems. When something is seen holistically, in
its entirety, there is no problem.

   Action is a fact.  It cannot be called back. Therefore when thought
ends and action begins,  responsibility (response--ability) is called
for. The quality of the act is dependant on the clarity of the
confused decisionmaker.  If contradiction still remains in the actor's
consciousness by his  fragmented grasp (called a problem) of an
holistic moment, further peripheral confusions ( more problems) arise
in the wake of the ensuing actions taken until adjustments are made
and it is fully understood. When it is complete, no further
adjustments necessary, closure is said to take place and the problem
disintegrates.   Unfortunately, this simple mechanism of understanding
has no place in politics.

   The system of government finds its origins and energy in the
struggle and violence of contradictory thought.  It is best reflected
in the verbal hypocrisy of a deceiver who cries that "peace must be
fought for and won".  Who is able to see the blatant contradiction of
that statement? By the evidence of our world, it would seem only a
few.   It is true that people get the government they deserve  Surely
it must be seen that government with its Politics of "perception
manipulation" has made this type of confused mentality into an art
form.

   The "deceivers" of governments and religions  operate on the
ongoing creation of the "perception of fear and doom, while at the
same time promise to solve these fictitious problems.  Such altered
reality having no basis in truth continually create more problems in
the wake of each problem purportedly solved.  Hence the problem
solvers are in the unique position of being the problem creators.
They are able to provide for themselve a never ending array a
problems, always at the ready, thereby assuring them of their jobs.
Such is the consciousness which  allows the blind to be led by the
blind in a system where only lip service is given to the qualities of
responsibility and integrity.

   With respects to the question posed by the title of this post....
what to all of these entities have in common?  Surely, it is a vested
share in the confusions wrought by corrupt power seeker groups, is it
not?
