"These men - ..., the politicians, ... - use their position, their knowledge, and their power of disseminating misinformation to arouse and stimulate the latent instinct for bloodshed. When they have succeeded, they say they are reluctantly forced to war by the pressure of public opinion."

~ Bertrand Russell

for a few short happy periods, been one of incessant fraud
and deception."

corrupts the judgment of reason,
and perverts its liberty."

can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true,

"Socialism itself can hope to exist only for brief periods here and there, and then only through the exercise of the extremest terrorism. For this reason it is secretly preparing itself for rule through fear and is driving the word “justice” into the heads of the half-educated masses like a nail so as to rob them of their reason... and to create in them a good conscience for the evil game they are to play."

~ Friedrich Nietzsche  

"Anyone who tells you that 'It Can't Happen Here'
is whistling past the graveyard of history.

History is replete with republics whose people grew complacent
and descended into imperial butchery and chaos."

~ Mike Vanderboegh

"Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to."

~ Theodore Dalrymple  

"The American Republic will endure, until politicians
realize they can bribe the people with their own money."

~ Alexis de Tocqueville  

"Those who formally rule take their signals and commands not from the electorate as a body, but from a small group of men. This group will be called the Establishment. It exists even though that existence is stoutly denied. It is one of the secrets of the American social order... A second secret is the fact that the existence of the Establishment - the ruling class - is not supposed to be discussed."

~ Arthur S. Miller  

"You can fool some of the people all of the time,
and all of the people some of the time, and that's good enough."

~ Dr. Edwin Vieira
