"THE IDEAL TYRANNY IS THAT WHICH IS IGNORANTLY SELF-ADMISTERED BY ITS VICTIMS. THE MOST PERFECT SLAVES ARE, THEREFORE, THOSE WHICH BLISSFULLY AND UNAWAREDLY ENSLAVE THEMSELVES."

"A TRUTH'S INITIAL COMMOTION IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO HOW DEAPLY THE LIE WAS BELIEVED. IT IT WASN'T THE WORLD'S BEING ROUND THAT AGITATED PEOPLE, BUT THAT THE WORLD WASN'T FLAT. WHEN A WELL-PACKAGED WEB OF LIES HAS BEEN SOLD GRADUALLY TO THE MASSES OVER GENERATIONS, THE TRUTH WILL SEEM UTTERLY PREPOSTEROUS AND ITS SPEAKER A RAVING LUNATIC."    Dresden James


"MOST PEOPLE PREFER TO BELIEVE THAT THEIR LEADERS ARE JUST AND FAIR, EVEN IN THE FACE OF EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY, BECAUSE ONCE A CITIZEN ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE GOVERNMENT UNDER WHICH HE LIVES IS LYING AND CORRUPT, THE CITIZEN HAS TO CHOOSE WHAT HE OR SHE WILL DO ABOUT IT. TO TAKE ACTION IN THE FACE OF CORRUPT GOVERNMENT ENTAILS RISKS OF HARM TO LIFE AND LOVED ONES. TO CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING IS TO SURRENDER ONE'S SELF-IMAGE OF STANDING FOR PRINCIPLES. MOST PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE COURAGE TO MAKE THAT CHOICE. HENCE, PROPAGANDA IS NOT DESIGNED TO FOOL THE CRITICAL THINKER BUT ONLY TO GIVE MORAL COWARDS AN EXCUSE NOT TO THINK AT ALL."  Michael Rivero

"AT A TIME OF UNIVERSAL DECEIT, TELLING THE TRUTH IS A REVOLUTINARY ACT." George Orwell

"OTHER COUNTTRIES AND THEIR CITIZENS NOW OWN NET OF ABOUT $3,000 BILLION OF THE U.S."  Warren Buffet
