"The road to tyranny, we must never forget,
begins with the destruction of the truth."

~ Bill Clinton  

"I used to be employed as a field engineer servicing [a major broadcast network's] distribution equipment, specifically their affiliates' satellite dishes. I've had many talks with TV newsmen. The most telling was one who confessed that he didn't think he could continue his job and live with himself because he daily saw 'the difference between what I am forced to report and what's really happening.' He told me that, at the first meeting with 'corporate's' news director [from the corporate holding company that owned the station, not the network], the ND told them that 'our job as reporters was to shape public opinion.' When someone protested that their job was to discover and report the truth, the ND responded, 'Whatever the public's perception is is the truth and it's your job to make sure that they have the proper perceptions.' That man's statement is always in the back of my mind whenever I see or read anything in the 'news,' that the job of reporters today is not to report hard, verifiable facts but rather to shape public opinion using selected facts presented in carefully arranged fashion."

~ Chris Meissen

~ Orson Scott Card

~ Niccolo Machiavelli  

"A tyrant... is always stirring up some war or other,
in order that the people may require a leader."

~ Plato  

"Progressives understand that their program for a government-centered society becomes more plausible the more people believe that work -- individual striving -- is unavailing. Government grows as fatalism grows, and fatalism grows as progressivism inculcates in people the demoralizing -- make that de-moralizing -- belief that they are victims of circumstances."

~ George Will  

"THE most widespread form of child abuse in the United States is parents' sending children to the government to be educated."

"Printers are educated in the Belief, that when Men differ in Opinion,
both sides ought equally to have the Advantage of being heard by the
Public; and that when Truth and Error have fair Play, the former is
always an overmatch for the latter: Hence [printers] cheerfully serve
all contending Writers that pay them well, without regarding on which
side they are of the Question in Dispute."

~ Benjamin Franklin  

"A forbidden writing is thought to be a certain spark of truth,
that flies up in the face of them who seek to tread it out."

is the noblest occupation of man;
its publication is a duty."

~ Anne Louise Germaine de Stael
