"The fact that some elements (of the U.S. government) may appear to be =
potentially "out of control" can be beneficial to creating and =
reinforcing fears and doubts within the minds of an adversary's decision =
makers...=20

interests are attacked should be a part of the national persona we =
project to all adversaries... It hurts to portray ourselves as too fully =
rational and cool-headed..."=20
U.S. Strategic Command, Essentials of Post-Cold War Deterrence 1995 (The =
U.S. Strategic Command, or STRATCOM, is the military entity responsible =
for formulating U.S. nuclear policy.)=20

"To maintain this position of disparity [U.S. economic-military =
supremacy]... we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and =
day-dreaming.... We should cease to talk about vague and... unreal =
objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standard and =
democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to =
deal in straight power concepts.... The less we are then hampered by =
idealistic slogans, the better."=20
George Kennan Director of Policy Planning U.S. State Department 1948=20

"They know we own their country. We own their airspace... We dictate the =

It's a good thing, especially when there's a lot of oil out there we =
need."=20

"It's really not a number I'm terribly interested in."=20

"Until we go through it ourselves, until our people cower in the =
shelters of New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles and elsewhere =
while the buildings collapse overhead and burst into flames, and dead =
bodies hurtle about and, when it is over for the day or the night, =
emerge in the rubble to find some of their dear ones mangled, their =
homes gone, their hospitals, churches, schools demolished ... only after =
that gruesome experience will we realize what we are inflicting on the =
people of Indochina..."=20
William Shirer 1973=20

"What occurred in Oklahoma City was no different than what Americans =
rain on the heads of others all the time, and subsequently, my mindset =
was and is one of clinical detachment. The bombing of the Murrah =
building was not personal, no more than when Air Force, Army, Navy or =
Marine personnel bomb or launch cruise missiles against government =
installations and their personnel."=20
Timothy McVeigh, trained by the U.S. Army=20

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and =

wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."=20
Abraham Lincoln 1865=20

"We stand for the maintenance of private property... We shall protect =

merger of State and corporate power."=20

Noam Chomsky

"A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state =
to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with the =
fascist regime in Germany and Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity in =
my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our American ruling =
families are to the Nazi regime. They extended aid to help Fascism =
occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there."=20
William E. Dodd U.S. Ambassador to Germany 1937=20

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the =

all qualified, entitled, and morally obliged to evaluate the conduct of =
our rulers. ...It is the first and foremost of our inalienable rights =
without which we can preserve no other."=20
John Locke The ideological progenitor of the American Revolution=20

"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of =

being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and =
exposing the country to danger."=20
Herman Goering - Nazi=20

"...the rank and file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. =

it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over."=20
Joseph Goebbels - Nazi Propaganda Minister=20

"How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't =
think."=20
Adolf Hitler=20

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the =
nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those =
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and =
refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by =

"The greatest purveyor of violence on earth is my own government."=20
Martin Luther King Jr.

preside over a global military apparatus of a magnitude never before =
seen in human history.=20
Michael Parenti=20

"To plunder, to slaughter, to steal, these things they misname empire, =
and where they make a wilderness, they call it peace."=20
Tacitus Roman historian c. 55-120 A.D.=20

"Few of us can easily surrender our belief that society must somehow =
make sense. The thought that The State has lost its mind and is =
punishing so many innocent people is intolerable. And so the evidence =
has to be internally denied."=20
Arthur Miller=20

"One of the great attractions of patriotism ... it fulfills our worst =
wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully =
and cheat. Bully and cheat, what's more, with a feeling that we are =
profoundly virtuous."=20
