"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
- H. L. Mencken
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."
- James Madison
"A free people claim their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate"
- Thomas Jefferson
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
- George Washington
"But we cannot allow government to define government. Furthermore, we will never get less of something by dishing up more of it, yet millions of people have been conditioned to believe that the thing that makes America free is our freedom-protecting government and that, therefore, we need more of it! Ridiculous! Government is not the protector of freedom; it is the antithesis of it."
- Ben Graydon
"swaying to the rhythm of a new world order
count bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
the boogeymen are coming
the boogeymen are coming
keep your head down go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums..."
