"We
had to struggle with the old enemies of peace, business and financial
monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism,
sectionalism, war profiteering. They had begun to consider the
Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own
affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as
dangerous as Government by organized mob." Franklin Delano Roosevelt also known by his initials, FDR - 32nd President of the United States (1933-1945)
"There
will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of
making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without
tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for
entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties
taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be
distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or
brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be
the final revolution." Aldous Huxley
"We
Americans are the ultimate innocents. We are forever desperate to
believe that this time the government is telling us the truth." -Sydney Schanberg
