HAŠĬŠĬ DISORDERS AS WAR DISORDERS

§ 1. Background Information
Modern physicists have contributed a great deal to our understanding of the universe that today provides us the courage to explain things concerning natural occurrences without being afraid. The same noble works of these geniuses have educated us that there is some orderliness in the universe which should aid us to emulate the exactness that the dealings of nature concern. From Sir Isaac Newton, Robert Hooke, Christiaan Huygens, and later Albert Einstein, we comprehend now those things that had threatened our forebears and captured their imaginations so much so that their precious times were spent on frivolously worshipping concerning those very things that should have been employed to the service of men.

These things that we have mentioned above show us that even in the political sphere and human organisation, orderliness and serenity should prevail. But instead of these orderliness and tranquillity in the dispensing of power, more often than not in the arena of political power, men have resorted to violence and the use of illegitimate means to deal with themselves. This political violence, amidst political assassinations and torture, had helped modern politics to gain its footing while leaving the one time predominant chaos still in place. From Hobbes, Locke, Micheavelli and others, the use of violence and torture reigned stupendously concerning the very institutions that were to offer mankind hope and security. It was therefore not surprising that that the work of Micheavelli “The Prince” had followed these inappropriate manners of setting the standard concerning how human beings were to be led, controlled, and nurtured by their Sovereign leaders. This masterpiece, which he offered after so many years in the service of the court (palace), did not help to educate and tame men concerning how to deal with themselves in civil society.

As it happened in the Greco-Roman world, so it occurs in this modern world; for confusion and disorder surrounding political leadership and its dispensing of power has always led to conflicts or major war that could involve many nations.

§ 2. Definition
Hašĭšĭ disorders (from the Arabic hashish-eater, Medieval Latin assassinus) is a war disorder that concern the use of assassination or a coup de tat to remove a leader that is not wanted from power. Or it could be the conspiring of enemies against a legitimate leader in order to bring him down or kill him. This disorder, which has been common in the Greco-Roman world, has been followed in the modern era where a legitimate leader could be replaced with illegitimate fellow through confusion and chaos. The result of this manner of changing leaders has been recognised as one of the chief manners where conflicts or war can occur. This war disorder, which used to be seen in the family circles where brothers fought over inheritances of their legitimate parents, has ceased to exist. Instead, Hašĭšĭ disorders remain in the larger arena of political power where people are not well versed with the utilisation of democratic principles to rule its citizens.

§ 3. Symptoms/Characteristics
The symptoms of Hašĭšĭ disorders are that of confusion, chaos, assassinations, torture, raping, imprisonment, and death that occur through bloodbath because of the fight that results due to the replacement of a legitimate or illegitimate leader to the throne or power through the application of force. Here several occurrences of certain conditions make this situation to come to the fore. A leader that suffers from the Absolute Zenith Complex disorder (AZC) may rule a nation and through this disorder he commences to brutalise his subjects and those that he sees as his enemies. It could be said that such leaders suffer from strong paranoid symptoms that usually make them to chase those that oppose them into running to exile or the underground. When that becomes the case, there is a greater probability that those opposition groups would form a strong force or resistance that would come and use assassination to remove this leader from power. Conflict or war may result which could be devastating to the citizens and the people living in the neighbouring countries. This could also affect the leadership in these countries. Another situation where this disorder would occur is where power conscious individuals with some personality problems of some kind or those that become obsessed with power and blood thirst to rule decide to usurp a legitimate or illegitimate leader from power.

Hašĭšĭ disorders are experienced mostly when leadership of countries suffer from AZC and Superwunsken, schizophrenia, psychotic disorders where the strong paranoid symptoms they possess make them to initiate maltreatments of their citizens and those enemies in the country as well as its neighbouring countries. It must be emphasised here that the symptoms of these illnesses are that of war and conflicts, which these patients utilise in order to, fulfil, their so-called power source that they ascribe their authority to. They rule their countries with iron fist and hardly tolerate freedom to their subjects that could also be forced to suffer Norman psychosis.

Hašĭšĭ disorders could cause devastation in those countries where they took place and could have future consequences in these countries and neighbouring countries.

§ 4. Case Studies
(a) Israelites
Historical materials reveal the numerous contentions that went on several years among the different tribes regarding their selection of their kings and even prophets.

(b) Antiquity and Greco-Roman World
The literature and history of these periods point out to the fact that there was no peace, order, stability, and legitimacy in the choice of their leaders. These resulted to the visualisation of strong disturbances and disorders that led to major wars and conflict in the one of the strongest empires that ever existed on the planet earth.

(b) Medieval World, Christians and Modern World

Among the Christians and its secular counterparts, contentions and strives hit the world several centuries which resulted in major wars, including two World Wars that occurred in the twentieth century.

§ 5. Analysis and Discussion
Hašĭšĭ disorders is a war disorder that men utilise assassinations or coup de tat to remove an unwanted leader from power, the consequence being the catastrophic results of conflicts or major wars in the country that could spread to its neighbouring countries. The disorder is seen to be associated with certain leaders that suffer from leadership disorders, such as AZC or Superwunsken disorders. These leaders usually have no contact with reality as they base their dealings with their subjects on myths that have been received through dreams and hallucinations (auditory and visual). As a result of these teachings, reality becomes far fetched in their dealings with their own subjects and enemies. While keeping hold of their dreamy world, they commence to persecute their opponents and subjects that disagree with them through their strong paranoid symptoms they suffer regularly. These fellows being persecuted may find refuge in the underground world or may escape to the neighbouring countries in exile. It would be here that they should plan to take power by force or through assassination means. Other means such, as the use of poison and drowning is not ruled out. This manner of usurping power entail the symptoms of confusion, chaos, assassinations, torture, raping and a host of other despicable behaviours that increase the disorder all the more. Even when the deed of removing a legitimate or illegitimate leader is over, still the disorder may continue for a while sometimes ensuring a permanent hostility between rival nations that may have collaborated with the dissents. Many scholars have regarded this psychiatric disorder or state as the chief originator of wars, world wars, and conflicts in many societies in the world, including the ancient world.

Hašĭšĭ disorders was also employed in the Christian circles where once the different Popes fought over who was eligible to be crowned as the most Holy figure on earth. Assassinations and poisoning were used as instruments for the elimination others. Presently, it seems the disorder is restricted to the political arena where nations choose their head of states and important figures in the governments. The emergence of sound and good democratic principles in the world means that orderliness and serenity are cherished more than the usual controversy of removing some leaders through coercion.

§ 6. Concluding remarks
For along time in the history of the world, Hašĭšĭ disorders had been the number one disorders that championed the course of war among nations and the different peoples that inhabit the ancient and modern worlds. Though they still remain as sources of war disorders, they do not appear to be used by the peoples of the world just now because of the emergence of good democratic principles that had appeared in the world. As the old ideas propagated by Micheavelli and others are on the wane, it allows the inhabitants of the world to utilise these good principles to steer their nations. If wars, therefore, should continue to be a problem of the world, it is because some few groups in the world deliberately engineer them in order to exploit the people or manipulate the world to secure what they want. An enlightened world of the twenty-first century and beyond would investigate this assertion properly and see that the world enjoys the true peace it is supposed to acquire.
